My Anabolic-Matrix log

[Darkhrse99]

I thought I would start a log, since this is day 1 of taking it. I weighed 177 today after 2 meals and worked shoulder's. I'm switching my training up a bit.I'm going to concentrate more on the movement and flexing and feeling the muscle work then just pushing weight and going for new pr every workout. I guess you'd call it lifting like a body builder instead of a weight lifter. Yesterday I really focused on my stretching and contraction on my back and bi workout. I squeezed and tried to feel the muscle, which in turn I did more sets with lighter weight, but today I'm actually sore from the workout!

My shoulders were on fire when I finished and they seem a little sore today, so I'm happy I'm getting the results I'm looking for. My biceps still hurt 2 days later from following the same method and they hardly stay sore for more then a day.

Triceps and and calves are later today.

Was just watching a YouTube of old school Olympian Robby Robinson where he covered that topic. Said that your system would create greater fiber recruitment.

Good deal.

We think the same!

So staying on the topic of body builder, how much should a person try to lift to feel the weight working and not just moving weight, 60,70 90% of their max?

 

[Darkhrse99]

It seems all right

What seems alright?

What are you're stats and what are you hoping to achieve?

 

[Darkhrse99]

To be continued...

 

[Darkhrse99]

So, I'm back at it!

Starting weight 162 and up 1 pound today. I think I'll be 180ish in 3 months with proper nutrition, I may even take progress pics if I can find someone to take them.

 

[Darkhrse99]

Still at 162, but the gym has been good and I'm sore all the time!

 

[Darkhrse99]

Arms today!

Weight went up to 165, a 3lbs jump in a day, weird, but I'll take it. Also have been doing 20 mins of cardio too.

 

[Darkhrse99]

Weight 166.5

Back today!

 

[Darkhrse99]

168 today!

Chest went well today. No new personal bests, but at least my weight is going in the right direction even with the cardio i've been trying to throw in the mix!

 

[Darkhrse99]

Arms today!

I had a good workout with 20 mins of cardio!
