Yeah man, we're going to get through this!

fufu · 08-14-2007, 08:20 PM

good job. I am on a cut too, but I decided to change my goals from strength to conditioning whilst on it. I knew if I was to keep doing the same thing training for strength I'd get discouraged because I am trying to get really ripped. Things are working well for you though.

That was my line of thinking too, I just wanted to switch it back up this week just to see where everything stood. The past 2 days will help keep me sane while I'm working on my conditioning, knowing now that I'm not getting weaker (hell my legs seem to be getting stronger).

I'm really looking forward to my pull workout on Thursday.

Sick rows! 130s for 8!!

Nice job

ReproMan · 08-17-2007, 06:37 AM

Thanks guys. I felt real strong last night, makes me want to get up off of this cut and start making muscles again. Good to know I haven't lost one bit since I started my slow cut. Basically, my strength is the same and I'm down 5 lbs. Sweet.

Oh wow. I read this last night and didnt notice the Rows. I like seeing that shit man! Keep that weight up! My strength is going down, but what can ya do. Calories + stress = disqualification to manlihood.

MeatZatk · 08-17-2007, 09:54 AM

Keep up the good work Repro! Those are great pulling #'s.
Do you feel like the straps help with the pulldowns and cable rows? I've never used them before and I was just wondering if I should give them a try.

I like seeing that shit too haha. I'm losing weight so slowly but my numbers are holding steady, if not climbing a bit. Yeah stress will take it's toll especially if you're not eating a lot. How ya sleeping?

Thanks Meat, pull days are my favorite I think. I'm a strap whore now, my rowing numbers have shot through the roof since using them on a regular basis so I'd say yes, they help all around. Obviously not so much for grip strength but that's not what I'm training so....

MeatZatk · 08-17-2007, 01:00 PM

where'd you get the straps at? What kind?

Scarface30 · 08-17-2007, 01:43 PM

awesome workout Repro! I third or fourth the rows lol

good job with the cutting too.

I bought mine at Play-it-again sports for 10 bucks. They are lightweight and they are kinda stretchy. I love em.

Thanks man, they cutting is like second nature now, I feel so guilty cheating it keeps me in check.

Double D · 08-17-2007, 07:44 PM

I have not seen this workout posted at the other place so I had to check it out here. Beautiful DB rows!!!!!

Witchblade · 08-18-2007, 07:56 AM

Hot damn I didn't know you were that strong.

You know you are fully dedicated when you start feeling guilty when you don't give a 100%. Once you get into that state of mind, you will dominate at whatever you are doing.

Also, nice rows. Keep up the good work!

tallcall · 08-18-2007, 12:27 PM

I hate it when I don't get time to prepare things properly and I end up having to cheat a little, god that pisses me off

because I want so bad to stay on the track I'm on. I feel your pain there!

AKIRA · 08-18-2007, 09:27 PM

^Yeah, today is way under calories. 2 meals so far and its 11:26pm. I cant imagine how I can do this sometimes despite how used to eating a lot I am.

Sounds like Yoda, it does, hmmmm.

ReproMan · 08-19-2007, 03:01 AM

Bah, I cheated last night because of my boss' surprise party and I cheated tonight because I got wasted. Back to the grindstone tomorrow... I mean today.

Monday 8/20/07

- walk to gym
- stretch

Back Squats: (2:00)
45 - 12
135 - 12
255 - 8,8,8

Bent Knee Good Mornings: (2:00)
225 - 6,6,6 PR

Leg Extensions: (2:00)
140 - 10,10,8

Hellz yeah. Looked back and realized how cheesy my squat PR was last week. It was a PR due to reps but not much else. This was pretty easy this week, tied with a PR. GM's are getting easy too, I love that movement. I think it's about time to increase the ole calories. I've dropped a solid 6-7 lbs and I'm ready to start making muscles again. I've been around 2800 for the last few weeks and I was holding steady weight when I was at 3400 so I'll start there and see where I stand. Can't wait.

ReproMan · 08-20-2007, 06:27 PM

Oh yeah, and I didn't get a hammy workout in last week due to extreme DOMS and excessive partying. That's all over with now that AKIRA is moving.
