Appreciate that shit!!

Tryin to KILL AS MUCH SHIT as possible within current limitations. Make the best out of whats available right now. Main goals now are to maintain most of my size. This is the longest Ive been in this size range (few years) as opposed to the past where I was only around this size for several months before taking myself out for 2 years. My approach now is to try and last longer this time around, before my next lay off. Still I train on the brink of fuckin injury every session so there is no predicting when tragedy strikes again. KILL THAT SHIT until my SHIT is dead

TRAIN OR FUCKIN DIE!!

I AGREE BRO!! CAN ALWAYS FIND MOTIVATION HERE!

Appreciate that shit!!

Glad to be back training after my 10 day lay off. Not a bad week considering the time off. Feel like shit but this is just KILLIN TIME until Im ready for a growth season again. The heavier I am before that stage the better the end results.

KILL THAT SHIT!!

[Laktos]

what type of cardio did you do after your liftin workout??

[Walking Beast]

what type of cardio did you do after your liftin workout??

Pretty low intensity on the stepper. It only shows calories burned as around 200. I started using the stepper when I came back from my back injuries since it would stretch out my upper back and get some blood in the area.

I rarely swim cuz I have no ability to float at all. So staying above water is difficult. Especially since I added close to 60 lbs since I came back from the injuries. Running is alot of abuse on my shins and knees right away, so avoid that too.

KILL THAT SHIT!!

6-29-10 Tuesday CHest and Shoulders

Stayed up over 24 hours and took way too many stimulants. Monster energy drink last night, 16 oz, then Animal pump pills with a scoop of super pump 250. Normally no problem, however after my beast drol cycles Ive gotten insane lightheadedness and black out sensations easier on stims.So started off in an adrenalized, lift or die mode. Felt like my heart was going insane before I even warmed up. I remained light headed throughout but after my first few sets it was managable.

Lost my records. Shitty day anyway. Light chest maintenance and random spotters again. Plus left pec still has some minor pain along the outer edge. So being careful with that shit for now. Wasnt a good idea to rep out with 340 and 365 on the bench after my first day back in 10 days, last week. Can never back down though.

Will work around it though. Maybe do some more pump training for arms and chest for a little while. Was thinking to superset tris and bis together. Arms only grew a quarter inch last year, back to thier pre injury size. Theyve been just under 19 cold for way too long. Might try something new. Everything else has grown , but arms very minimal lately.

Should have spotter back next tuesday. Not sure yet though. Also have to see how my chest feels on the bench then.:

(207 lbs before meals)

Going off memory this time, shit session anyway

Flat Bench Press: (3/4 reps til end, then locked)

135x20 warm
225x45 3/4
275x10 (No spotter or lift off, way too high on bench, rungs in the way)

Dumbbell Flat bench Press:

100x13 (Never do em)

Didnt feel like gettin random spotters today, rest was too long between sets.

Incline Hammer Strength Press: (Full reps)

270x17
270x19 3/4
360x8
270x9
270x7

Cant remember order exactly

Was staying light to avoid strain on the left pec. Also numbers on seat adjustment are grinded off, so cant set it the same as my usual gym. Throws me off

Dumbbell Shoulder Laterals:

45x40 warm up

Dropset: (No rest between sets)

80x15
70x10
60x10
50x10
45x10
------
Dropset: (No rest between sets)

80x10

60x10
50x10
45x10

70x20

KILL SHIT

Everytime I try for a third chest compound, my body just won't let me push as hard as I want to. For example I can throw around 220 on flat bench for 15 reps no problem. But as a third consecutive compound movement I'd be lucky to hit 2 or 3 reps. Do you have the same to some degree?

My muscle endurance varies alot. When I was training consistantly at my main gym (the one I used when coming back from injuries, before I moved) , my training was better overall. More volume so I built more endurance from consistantly hitting high volume chest and delts together. Was also hitting chest twice a week at that time with shoulders. Now I only hit it once to give my shoulder joints a rest.

I still train at this gym for back (better equipment for me) and chest as well when I dont have a spotter sometimes (smith machine incline over there and better HS incline machine). Its a 40 min drive so I dont do it daily. I train at 3 gyms now, two I am a member of, the third is for a spot and get in free once a week. Should be back training there next week with a spotter if things go as planned.

I would get decent sets on the incline after flat benching, but way off from what I could do fresh. Thats why I used to cycle my chest days. Thursday was a flat bench focused day ( meaning thats the first and main exercise before machine work and delts) and sunday was an incline focused day.

Since Im usually always trying to hit records on my chest days (whether my body is capable or not) , cycling these days allowed me to hit the exercise fresh. Also Id cycle the order. For a month I might do inclines as my first chest day and my second chest day of the week would then be flat. Then Id switch to flats first day, inclines second.

The first chest day always is the most recovered. So I would hit records this way. Also have cycled between half reps, 3/4 reps and full reps to hit records on each one of those. So between incline and flat bench, plus all the ROM variables, that alone allows me to hit PRs consistantly when training and diet is good.

For me its another psyche booster to hit records. Even if my strength has advanced to 315x23 on flat bench (3/4 reps), going back to full reps (example) and hitting 15 is a record for that ROM and makes the session worthwhile. Even though it might be less reps and strength is likely the same, just a different rom, still drives my fire to KILL it. Constantly seek things that fuel that rage and adrenaline.

Its a technique I use to trick my mind to get it prepared for the desired result. Like when I eat at a buffet. If eating pizza will eat two slices together, by the time my body realizes it is full its too late, ive consumed 1000s of calories.

KILL THAT SHIT

I am trying to NOT kill shit like that! (the pizza, that is, i would love to kill that shit on the bench).

I used to frequently but lately eat alot cleaner (in contrast). Most of my food at home now.
