hell yeah, add on that lean mass, that's what it's all about!

how many kcals are you eating these days?

I stopped counting a while ago. I just eat around 200 protein and try to take in carbs with most of my meals, about 4 to 6 meals. Plus alot of soymilk between meals. Hardboiled eggs, rice, tuna, oatmeal basically. I try to get down a meal whenever possible

I would estimate in the 4000's. Some days mid 3's or lower

Another random session post. Will likely hit arms on sunday and thats it for this week. Just two days to maintain somewhat around the strains.:

Trained chest and back, brief shoulders.


Hit some new records on the machines with chest. Shoulder was bad this week, everything hurt, forearms tender, etc. I was going to take this week off. Upper back has some strain too in the herniated discs area.


I hit some super light back after chest. Then during shoulders got some left shoulder strain and stopped it.:

Light chest training today. Shoulders were fucked up and upper spine, so took last week off.


Just hit 231 a few days ago. 240 should easily fall this year. Maybe close to 250. 250 definately by next year if not this year. I am just massing the fuck up for now. Dont care about being lean. Been getting much stronger with the added weight but now im training light and stricter. Chest back to around 52, arms 18 3/4, legs 28 cold. Traps took a major hit. Dont know if i can train them directly for a while with these rotator issues. So I train what I can to keep shit rollin :




Back into growth mode again. Alot of fucking injuries but SHIT MUST DIE

KILLLLLLL THAT SHIT!!

Welcome back dude! Had not seen you on in a while...

Welcome back dude! Had not seen you on in a while...

Appreciate that shit

Lookin thick and lean as always

Im still here I just post less frequent updates. Journal has been dead and training has become more adaptive and less about setting PRs. Now I am more in a size mode. I have still been training the same mostly, going back to a my usual ballistic wreckless style mainly, but again Im going to try to let shit heal up more and train with more of a focus on contractions and not weight

KILL THAT SHIT

[Walking Beast]

Taken after some pump from my super light back training, to spare my shoulder for now


New bodyweight of 232. Closing in on 240 and 250 possibly by sometime this year or next



KILL

Nice. Yea now I dont give a fuck about how much weight I move. You know how it is. Once you reach a certain point the tendons become the weak link. Been trying to just fucking CONTRACT THAT SHIT make everything more difficult, pre exhaust, less rest between sets, dropsets, supersets, rest pause, etc. And eat like a mother fucker.

KEEP KILLIN THAT SHIT!!

^Same here bro, it's all about pre exhausting the muscle and shit, it's like Branch Warren says, he is strong enough to squat 600 lbs for reps, but what for? He pre exhausts his legs with so many other exercises, by the time he does squats with 315 he says it feels like 600 lbs, Jay Cutler does something similar too. I also believe in a combination of high volume and high intensity, training smart is where is at
We must avoid injury, while still stimulating hypertrophy

Weight looks like it has come up nicely. Last time I checked you were fluctuating betwee 205 and 210. Not experiencing too many near black outs anymore?

Appreciate that shit!!

The near black out sensations went on for months after the superdrol. Very strange sensation. Even when trying to sleep it felt like I was slipping into unconciousness, black out state. Got so bad that during training sessions I had to take very long breaks between sets til it settled down. Though I still finished my sessions. Each set felt like I would black out after finishing. Not sure what exactly caused that. Eventually it subsided.

Ive had some setbacks and small lay offs with many injuries and some internal damage. Have adapted to all the changes and finding a new path now. There will always be new obstacles to face.

I think now I should be able to blow up to 240 sometimes in the next 3 months and maybe 250 by this year or early next. Its unlikely Ill get leaner at this point unless I conciously try to do it. Metabolism very slow now, compared to the past.

Lookin thick yourself

lol thanks man. That pic was from 1.5 years ago. I've probably added 5 lbs or so since then. Definitely leaner at a heavier weight.

Good to hear you're getting better. Keep slaughtering those lambs.
