Get Huge Or Get Lost

[ZyklonB]

Started an 8 week diet/lifting regime on Monday...thx SVT for helping get me all setup.

My lifting has been so spotty since my son was born and have been having a very hard time staying motivated.

Having this new training/diet regime and new goals has got me pretty stoked.

This week is all about getting on point w/ the diet and getting my weights adjusted to the rep scheme and regime setup by SVT.

Here's yesterday's session:

That's a lot of stuff in a "short session" for lunchbreak. Way to make the most of it Z!

[ZyklonB]

Somehow managed to sneak in a short session on my lunch break. Got a good pump, made sure I took it easy on the shoulders, haven't done seated mill press in a long time and probably won't for a long time...tweaks my wrist and shoulders for some reason. Session took 28 minutes to complete

Thought my quads might be sore today, but they feel great...headed out this afternoon for a 2 hr recon field training...if that climbing up and down 1200 ft of elevation with a pack on doesn't annihilate my quads I don't what will

[ZyklonB]

Ok so I've had another shitty week, relationship issues that I won't expand on, but needless to say, I've been awake since 2.30am and I was told on my way out the door that she hopes I have a horrible day.

Well that was a blessing cause I had one of the best workouts in a long time and the rest of my day is going awesome. So I hope she tells me the same thing tomorrow

Anyways onto the good stuff. I was kinda dreading this workout because of the smith squats, but once I got to that exercise, I was feeling pretty angry and pumped. Decided to drop 230 on the bar and see how it felt.
No pain in my knees as I sometimes have and I went deep and explosive up. I'm not sure how the weight on the Smith would equal to regular BB squats, but I'm guessing around 275 or 315 which ain't bad since I've been out of training quads for awhile.

Yeah same here, I've actually grown to like the HS inclines over the regular BB inclines. For some reason the machine is easier on my shoulders and the pump is better, so it's a WIN/WIN

The machine is DEFINITELY easier on the shoulder girdle, rotators and joints.

LOVE the HS incline press, the ROM alway pumps the hell outta my pecs. Can't help but picture Dorian in Blood n Guts when using that apparatus.
