Off training today.

Updates sent over to the coach. Waiting to see exactly what will change but, it seems I'll get more calories.

Had work at 3 this morning and much to my delight, my ac stopped working. Yaaaaaaaay! Believe it's the resistor or blower fan so not too bad of a job. My car takes the super fancy resistor though which is $115 compared to the regular one that's $25 and, they didn't have it in stock so I gotta wait till this afternoon. Blower fan was $112. So I'm hoping that it's just the resistor and I can take the fan back.

Either way, it's too fucking hot to not have ac in the car so I'll do whatever it takes lol.

 

[Montego]

Diet updated

Added some fats in the first meal on both days

Added carbs in last meal on training days

So about a 320 calorie increase on training days and 120 on non training days.

Weigh in yday I was up 3lbs but it was only about 4 hours from my last meal to weigh in so not very accurate since work messed up my schedule, or lack there of really. Today we're back at 250 after a mostly full night of sleep.

Let's keep going shall we?

 

[Montego]

Lower loading

Abductor - 150*13, 11

Upper pump

Strong strong.

Will have to make a big jump on safety bar squat next session. We don't have 35lb plates and I'm out of room in the bar using the 25's.

I've handled 495 plenty of times before I just wanted to work up slower to it this time. Guess it'll have to do.

The Snatch grip Rdl was a first. I saw Jordan Peters doing these so I gave em a try. Much harder then regular rdl's and I felt like it took some pressure off my lower back. We'll keep these in for a bit.

 

[Montego]

Getting going today weight is at 255.

Breakfast then train in an hour and a half or so.

I Start a week of vacation tomorrow but I've got to work tonight which kinda sucks. Oh well though. Not doing anything all week then a weekend get away with the family. Kinda need a break from work and a good solid week of eating and training with no other worries.

Let's get going.

First meal down.

Weight is down to 251. Guess I'll be getting more food.

Messaged the coach yesterday and told him something showed up. Told him about weight and appetite and such and he says "Good. Looks like you'll need a lot more food then you though."

Great.....lol.

This is why you hire a coach even if you think you're nailing it. An extra set of eyes almost always sees something you're missing.

Upper loads

Hammer row - 225*12(+20), 225*10(+2)

Went light on the shoulder today. Gonna keep nursing it a bit.

Hammer dip is maxed out. Gonna have to find a way to add more weight on there. Think I can wedge a DB somewhere lol.

Overall good day. Getting stronger. On vacation Friday through Sunday with no training. Meals will be packed though.

 

[Montego]

Update sent over this morning

Weight is down again. I was having some bowel movement issues last week and had been backed up so I added psyllium husk in twice a day. Got things moving better and saw it on the scale, and my abdomen, almost immediately.

This morning I was down to 248.8 which is a 4.5lb drop from last week. I look much much better though. No distension, fuller and tighter. Stronger. All good signs. Plus im still hungry af.

Will see what happens when I'm updated.

 

[Montego]

Diet updated last night.

More food in almost every meal from fats or protein or both.

Definitely gonna need bigger food containers lol.

 

[Montego]

Having a hard time opening up on my rear relaxed. So annoying. It'll get there but it's still got a lot of width missing that's there.

I'll have to set my mirrors back up I suppose.

 

[REHH]

Look good.

 

[Montego]

Got back from our little getaway earlier. Back to the grind after a great time.

Today we prep!

Sissy Squat - orange band*23, 21

Quad emphasis today. This squat machine really let's me drill my feet down and rotate my knees out so it blasts the sweep well. I'm still doing the Sissy Squats on the leg extension machine which kills a little ROM but it's getting the job done.

I noticed my arms look like they have down sized for the first time today. I know it's an optical illusion since I'm growing, they're still measuring 19.5 without a pump, but I don't like it lol.

 

[Montego]

Update sent in.

Was back to 251 this morning.

I dunno if it's my mind playing tricks on me but, I look as full as a fucking house right now lol.

Been spending around fifteen minutes each day working on the rear relaxed. Found a middle ground to work with for now but, I'm still not opening up all the way.

I wasn't holding my shoulders up and square to start, they were dropped down and forward since I've got shit posture. Bringing them back to where they should be brought out the thickness in my upper back that I was not showing.

Rest today.

 

[Montego]

Upper loading

Shoulder was feeling decent so I took it for a spin. Haven't done any Incline or overhead pressing in about 4 weeks so the shoulder press was way down and I was being cautious.

Meadows - 130*13(+10 lbs, +2 reps)
Incline hammer - 360*10, 8

Hanging knee raise - 4*15-12

Feeling good.

Coach left everything alone this week. This past set of pics I was so much fuller and tighter then the start. That could have been from the mini vacation but, I think it's the food. We'll assess again on Monday.

Be careful, your tendons and connective tissue don't strengthen as fast as muscle fiber. I learned that the hard way and you're way ahead of me. You're also a lot younger which really helps, but just think about those tendons when you're pushing and pulling so much weight.

 

[Montego]

Taking an kinda unscheduled rest day.

Was supposed to be lower muscle rounds but, I'm going to take the day off training since I'm off work as well and I'll work in the morning and possibly be able to train tomorrow.

I need the rest though. With my strength climbing as fast as it has and the lack of a cruise week as planned, it'll do me some good.

Coach increased food last update. The difference from the previous week where I didn't work, to the week I did work was very noticeable in how full I was.

The tricky part is, not knowing my schedule it's hard to say every week I'll need X amount of calories. It'll be a little up and down since food is high but, it'll all work out.

Feeling good overall. Shoulder held up fine with the pressing so a couple more days rest for it will probably get me back to 100%. Left knee is aching but, it'll be fine as well I'm sure.

Just getting going. Let's see what happens in another month.

 

[Montego]

Fifth meal

 

[Montego]

Fucking knee isn't happy. High rep leg day but went lighter then usual. It's a constant nagging pain in the left knee when it's bent right around the top of the knee cap. I'm not even sure when I aggravated it but it's being a cunt.

Good session today. Very full lol. I've officially got the big bubbly insulin look going

 

[Montego]

Lower loading today. Will try to work around the knee but, probably won't have much choice but endure some pain.

Feeling good. Feeling strong. Feeling full.

Work has kicked my balls in since Saturday and the scale has dropped as of this morning after another increase in food last week but, we grind on.

Gonna train then get started on client check ins so, long day ahead... Hoping work doesn't call me to save the day again
