So im starting a p/rr/s variant, where the cycles go p/rr/s/rr/p/rr/s etc

moar rep range=moar musklez

today was quad dominant power day

1/26 P week, squats
(3.5-4 min ri) squats 135x10, 185x8,225x7,x6,x5
(3 min ri) front squats 135x7,x5, 115x5 (125 would have been ideal)
(2 min RI) toe raises 380x10 (warmup),x12,x10,x11,x10
(2 min RI) db shrugs, 45x10,70x10,85x12,x10,80x10
(1.5-2 min ri) decline crunches 10lbsx10 warmup, 20x10,x10,x7(15 seconds)x3

all in all took less than an hour, which was okay. legs feel fried, but the front squats were kinda shaky and could have gone better IMO, but ive got a weight figured out now.

diet has been roughly the same, I need to go to the store and pick up my fruits and veggies though, Ive been out for a few days. Im waiting til thursday to get the official weigh in, thats when I weighed in last week. So we will see if the cals need to go up or not. Im pretty sure they dont need to get dropped, because I feel fairly lean (even a bit leaner perhaps?) after what was a fairly big jump up in calories.

I discovered that Ive been starving myself for years, which is probably why it was so hard to keep up with a diet at all. Props to Built for inadvertently helping me come to that realization.

What are toe raises?

 

[FishOrCutBait]

What are toe raises?

i just use it as a name for doing calf work on the leg press machine

 

[Rubes11]

nice workout. so you do calf work the same way that i do then

 

[FishOrCutBait]

nice workout. so you do calf work the same way that i do then

gives me the best results. I have good genetics for my calves, so Im blessed in that sense. I just have to do frequent enough work and they grow. and thanks man!

 

[RasPlasch]

Damn you and your gentically superior calves! Just playin. .



I forgot to ask you. How are you liking your new home? I remember you told me that you were moving. Not sure if you have moved or what yet.

Haha, my girlfriend's dads calves are the biggest calves I've ever seen on a non-bodybuilder. If the man lifted and juiced, theyd be easily in excess of twenty inches around.
And I dig it! I am the greatest procrastinator there has ever been though, so im not even all the way unpacked. Its rad, haha.

But I have a basement room, I dont often get bugged, but its tough waking up some days. I really like the new place all in all. Thanks for asking

 

[RasPlasch]

Sounds like nothing to complain about, that is for sure. And hell you got a basement room too you lucky dog!

No problem. I saw your location and it clicked in my head that you moved, haha.

I'm glad you are liking it.

 

[FishOrCutBait]

thanks man! I am glad too.

my landlord is pretty legit, and the other roomie is a friend of mine as well.

I have sooo much new music downloaded it is absolutely nuts.

1/27 P week, back day
(2 min RI) pullups, 6,7,4
(3 min RI) pulldowns, 180x5,x5,165x6,x5.5
(3 min RI) t bar rows, 70x8,80x7,95x6,x5.5,90x6,x5.5
(2.5 min RI)DB presses 30x10, 45x9,x8,x6
(3 min RI)dips x5,x6,x4.5

It seems to be a trade off of performance between delts and whatever other upper body push movements im doing that day, always. Im gonna move my DB presses to my leg days and start working abs on my upper body days.

 

[RasPlasch]

Nice job man. How much do you weigh?

 

[FishOrCutBait]

Nice job man. How much do you weigh?

we will find out tomorrow

Im excited for the official number.

thank you btw.

 

[RasPlasch]

Oh man tomorrow is the big day! haha

 

[FishOrCutBait]

that it is. I am pretty excited, my diet has hovered around the same cals roughly, so we will see what Im weighing.
Im just trying to keep all my variables roughly within the same range.

Now I get to clean my room and work on homework til my brain bleeds.

weeeee!

 

[FishOrCutBait]

Here's the diet for the day.

Ifn I need more calories I think Im gonna throw in a cup of oats with my pre-bed meal.

 

[Rubes11]

nice work out. i forgot that you moved. glad to hear its going well for you.

 

[629RWHPstang]

body fat is not to bad dude

 

[FishOrCutBait]

nice work out. i forgot that you moved. glad to hear its going well for you.

thanks man I appreciate it, I just need to get enough time not worrying about school to get really situated :/

body fat is not to bad dude

Its just frustrating, thank you man. You know how it is, always ones own worst critic

 

[PreMier]

if it makes you feel better you are a fat pig imo

 

[FishOrCutBait]

if it makes you feel better you are a fat pig imo

Haha, thank you Premier. I know that came from the heart

 

[FishOrCutBait]

It just feels somewhat counterintuitive to not want to get leaner, when I am the leanest Ive ever been.

 

[RasPlasch]

And the official weigh in is!?

 

[FishOrCutBait]

And the official weigh in is!?

I lied its on thursday. haha, right after deadlift day

thats when I weighed in last so I want to keep the method the same.

plus its a week apart.

however the enthusiasm was appreciated!

 

[RasPlasch]

Lol.. Damnit.

You got my hopes up for nothing. .


Just playin. I will check back here tomorrow then.

 

[FishOrCutBait]

official weigh in today
186, up two pounds from last week. Now, it could be anything, but Im thinking this is just about the right calorie range.

1/29 deadlift day
1 mile @7 intensity on bike
deads 135x10, 185x8, 225x6,x6,x5
ham curls 225x8, 240x4.5, 240x6
toe raises 180x10,270x10,410x12,x10,x10
db press 35x10,40x8,50x5,x5,x5
db shrugs 60x10, x10, 90x6 (then threw straps on) 90x9, 90x8

All in all I think it was a fairly good workout.

 

[Rubes11]

doesnt look like you had a bad workout at all..good job

 

[PreMier]

nice workout. why the straps?

 

[FishOrCutBait]

doesnt look like you had a bad workout at all..good job

thanks man I appreciate it!

nice workout. why the straps?

haha, wellll I figure ill only do it during p week and just on shrugs. I skip em for deads and such. I want to get that heavy weight with those shrugs and I dont feel super comfortable humping it up and off the rack without them on. but yeah yeah yeah I know

 

[FishOrCutBait]

It frustrates me how counterproductively I've been eating all these years.

Btw pre-mie, my traps are nice and sore today haha

looking forward to chest day today. Im gonna skip any curl movement entirely, because last week they just made my biceps feel cruddy.

its weird all the fitness myths that get perpetrated to youths.

also, it seemed to work well doing shoulders on a leg day.

 

[FishOrCutBait]

today was quite interesting.
I felt like a monster, it was nice. I was feelin like I was pushin some good numbers around. I forgot my workout shorts though so I was rockin my blue jeans, haha

12/30 p week chest
(3.5 min RI) bench pushup warmups, 135x8 165x5,x4.x4.5
(3 min RI) db incline 55x7 60x5,x4.5
(3 min RI) cg pullup x6,x6,x5,x4
(45 sec RI) decline crunches bwx10,20lbsx10,x10,x7,25x7

there was a huge dude lifting today who spotted me a couple times, super nice and helpful. we rotated on the decline bench for abs too. he was using a plate though, haha.

when I went back in the locker room to get my crap he was getting dressed and he was covered in (what looked like?) prison tattoos.

the best part of the day though was the big foreign dude rollin around in a FLUORESCENT pink wifebeater and du-rag, and black tights with a black weight belt. I dont think I saw him do anything but hammer strength machines, and only a couple things.

he was constantly singing in falsetto too.

weiiiiirddd.

im helping my lady move into her new place in minneap today after work. should be fun!
