Upper Muscle Rounds

Good session. Was a bit rushed cause I have so much to do since I finally have a day off.

Hammer Row - 270(both arms) *23

Hammer row - 135(1 arm at a time) *22

Rack Pull - 495*21 (form broke down so I stopped)

Mid grip Pulldown - 13*23

Loaded stretch

Close grip machine press - 260*25, 22

Fly loaded stretch

Bent over lateral swings - 40*26, 23

Broom stretch

DB curl - 30*23

Dual handle Cable curls, arms back - 35*22

Preacher stretch

I spent so much time the last few months I was training tweaking exercises and finding ques so I'm fully activating my lats and chest and it's payed off after the couple months of minimum training. I'm feeling the target muscle work more then ever and that's bringing brutal pumps so, my sets are shortening due to pain instead of fatigue. I'm also once again getting that dull ache after each training session. Not DOMS but more life the muscle is bruised deep inside which in the past has been a good sign.

Weighed at the gym, 250 right now. Dunno how accurate the scale is but that seems right. By years end, 265-270. It'll happen.

Like I said. Ramping up the food still and waiting for the switch to flip so I'm ready to start a blast. Been on "cruise" since January 1 so not a bad little break from high doses. And bloods were good. Tad high on hematocrit and such but just barely. A donation and another few weeks and I'll be primed.

Killer session.

I knew as soon as I started my stretching it was going to be good. Could feel every muscle soooooo well today.

Upper DC style rest pause

Hammer row (standing, chest on pad, feet back)

This gives me a huge stretch and, makes it so I lock in and can't use momentum pulling.

Too much volume but, I couldn't stop

 

[Montego]

This session took went in a completely different direction then I expected. High rep stuff. To failure on everything but Squats obviously.

Took my own lecture to heart and pushed it today. Only puked once after the set of 17 on Lunges.

Pre workout goodie -

 

[Montego]

Post workout shake was the usual egg whites, whey, cereal, oats and banana.

Following meal was chicken and cream of rice. Haven't had cream of rice in a while so it was a nice change. Can put down SO many carbs with such a low volume of food.

275g chicken breast

95g cream of rice (dry weight)

32g pb

Cinnamon

Ketchup ()

1 banana

[Montego]

Progress since I've gotten my shit together has been pretty fast.

Right now I'm running

3-400mg test a week

200mg Deca

5iu gh, this was every day but I'm pulling the one switcheroo to pre workout only soon

Given how quickly I've come back around I'm gonna ride this out for a little while longer....

I would love to start slamming full barrels of test, Deca and tren with some insulin but, I just don't need it right now.

I do need to buy a fucking scale though. Might have to spend a little more cash and get a good one this time cause I'm sick of inaccurate readings from my old one and, it's been dead for a month lol.

I've also been looking over my log book from the past year or two and comparing progress. I made some changes over that time and I can see exactly where I got better and worse.

Back training has stayed relatively the same but, when I started to gravitate away from rack pulls I lost some thickness. Those are back in.

Also my arm training or lack there of. I was barely training arms and, they did get worse. Also, Preacher curls got less. Palm up DB curls were more common. Didn't help. Volume was only 2 sets each session so, I'll be switching up exercises back to heavier movements, heavy is relative here since I work in higher rep ranges on arms, and adding an extra set for biceps and triceps. Triceps got better...... More pop but not bigger. Mixing more dips in and moving away from rope work.

Legs, I just have to keep squatting and doing Adductors. Hamstrings are weak. Back to heavy stiff legs and heavy lying curls. Quads have made great progress so no changes.

Delts have always been strong but, rear and medial delts got much better since I didn't train front delts as often and focused work there.

Chest, always a bitch. Heavy pressing has been working but I have to keep the flies in there.

This is the reason you take progress pictures and log your training.

Slept all afternoon and night 2 days ago. The weekend really wore me out and weight dropped a few lbs from not getting in typical volumes of food.

Training yesterday was upper loading

Dats it. Strength is starting to level out some so the real grind starts.

Off today.

Eating. Cleaning house. Napping with puppies

 

[Montego]

The meal is one large can tuna in water, 2 eggs, 2tbsp organic mayo and relish

Snacks are Bananas almonds and more eggs.

Last year I was getting around 5-6k calories and couldn't hold weight when it was busy. Hope that isn't the case this year.

 

[Montego]

[Montego]

Looking at progress pics this morning. Legs grew 3 inches over the last year or so according to my tape measure.

 

[Montego]

One of my best sessions lately.

Music stream was on point.

Energy was awesome.

Strength high.

Focus.

Can't ask for much more. Busted some blood vessels under my eyes during Squats lol. Lol like I got punched in the face.

Safety Bar squat - 455*10, 455*7 315*20 widowmaker
Lying leg curl - 80kg*11, 9
Front squat Smith - 255*11, 9
Calf Raise - 130*12, 10, 9, 9

Upper pump.

Getting legs back finally. Last year I maxed out the bar on safety Squats (495) for I think 8 reps, gotta look back in my log book but, I was pretty gassed at the time. It's coming back with about a third of the gear atm.

Meant to get updated pics but the locker room was packed. I'll snap some one day this week.

 

[Montego]

Off today. Legs are extremely sore. Hard time standing up sore.

Still mulling over when to start my blast. My goal to be low test was until May and I've hit that. Still not as consistent on training as I would like to be but, not as bad as the beginning of the year.

Typical day of eating on non training days right now -

1-
6 whole eggs
1c whites

2-
60g whey
60g almonds

3 -
230g chicken breast
1c greens
2 tbsp evoo

4 -
Repeat 3

5 -
500g egg whites
25g whey
50g natural pb

6 -
250g flank or skirt steak
2 eggs

Throughout the day I'll also have 2 bananas and split one container of Tuna salad usually after the shake meal.

The tuna salad is -
250g tuna in water
2 whole eggs
60g no sugar added sweet relish
28g Mr Kensington natural mayo

Training days is -

1- pre workout
8 whole eggs
1 bagel

2- post workout
500g egg whites
25g whey
75g chex
1 packet oats (maple brown sugar, it makes a difference )
1 banana


3 -
230g chicken breast
250g white rice

4 -
Repeat 3

5 -
500g egg whites
25g whey

6 -
250g flank or skirt steak
2 eggs

Pretty simple.

I've been having one or two free meals a week. Typically a regular meal with some kind of dessert thrown in.

When the blast starts, whenever that is, the free meals go away and more food is added to my regular plan.

Oh! And I've been walking my dogs a few times a week still so, I guess you can call that cardio? Not really but whatever.

 

[Montego]

Another really good session... I keep in stringing these together I might look decent by years end.

Low Cable Row neutral - 14*26(+3) 15*23
Smith bent over row - 315*22
Incline hammer - 270*25(+2) 240*23
Reverse machine shoulder press - 270*20/180*7 haven't muscle rounded this movement. It's not the best option imo but I'll give it some time.
Cable front raise one arm - 30*22/23
Rope extension - 10*22
Rope crunches - 10*17(cramping)

Good day good day. Strength is still moving up. Weight is slowly creeping up week to week. Averaging about a half pound each week which is fine.

Just biding my time

 

[Montego]

Lower muscle rounds

Squat machine dead stops - 300*25, 22
Smith front squat - 135*15 finished with body weight reps

Legs were still not completely recovered today but, increased weight on the dead stop Squats while still managing to go over on reps.

Moving right along.

 

[Montego]
