Appreciate that shitOriginally posted by danthemanbatman View Post
Easy to get lost in the moment. Not neccesary at this point though, was just for fun.
Hate to do it but occasionally I give myself a few extra days of recovery. Wasnt really needed but after this leaning phase in a month or two, Im looking to hit another growth phase hard. So want to keep the joints and tendons in decent condition for that point. Though yesterdays routine somewhat defeated the purpose of an off week. The more time I take off the more agressive I am when I get back into the gym initially.
Still the shoulders got a little recovery time.

Chest ,10 mins cardio
Moderate weight and low volume, session one (will likely hit another session later this week)
Wasnt expecting to hit 500 today, for reps. With the strange tightness in my shoulders lately. Taking a week off and switching up from the heavy shit has helped to give it some healing. So I attribute that to the decent strength today, much more then expected, but still off from my best.
Its good considering I have been training around my strains with more of a bodybuilding focus, over the strength. Though when I get in there, especially after a week off, I cant restrain the violence. I will try not to get too extreme with the weight and focus more on tearing the shit out of the muscle for growth, but will see what happens.
Leaning out. So have been in a calorie deficit the last week or so. Alot of days protein has only been 100 grams, sometimes close to 200. Main focus has just been to cut calories and not obsessed with the details. Like I said I gain muscle back fast, so its not a problem if I lose some in the following month or two, before I hit another growth phase.
I was going to start off with no carbs but didnt find it neccesary and also defeats the purpose, since I dont want to be dizzy while training. So Ive been having some carbs before or/and after training, then basically just protein the rest of the day.
:
(219 lbs after meal)
Hammer Strength Incline Press
180x40 (constant tension style, not to failure, not all the way down and not all the way up)
270x32 (Same, no rest pause reps today)
410x8 (3/4 ballistic reps, all the way down, just short of lockout)
450x8 (same)
500x4 and half (same)
Dropset: (no rest between sets)
(3/4 ballistic style)
450x7
360x10
270x8
180x12
------
Still got some pain at the bottom of the reps, that bottom stretch, but its alot better then it was. Still I decided to not KILL MY SHIT fully today. Will hit a mostly flies session later this week most likely.
10 mins cardio

Pretty much how I lift...slightly more control but very, very ballistic. Once the set starts I hit it quick to get it over with while destroying targeted area.Originally posted by Walking Beast View Post

You look way bigger than 178 brother.

You didnt take anything away. This thread is open to that type of feedback always. I was about to eat so my last response was a little brief.Originally posted by danthemanbatman View Post
Appreciate the feedback
My uncle used to train like that when he was at his most massive. After most of his injuries. Much lighter BB style and when I trained with him it was "No mind" training like he called it. It would be 45 mins to an hour of non stop movement from one exercise to another. Usually 40 plus sets but we didnt count. Alternating different body parts (supersets) and constant movement. After one of us was done doing a set the next went. For other exercises using dumbbells or cable machines we might have two stations set up to cut down that rest as well, but for the most part it was done like that.
I got the best pump from those routines. They werent good for me , for growth in the earlier training days. At the earlier stages I really needed that heavy work with longer rest between sets to build that foundation. At that point in his training he already had a massive base (285 lbs) and multiple injuries. So he didnt have to do all that ground work, he already did it for 20 years prior.
He also didnt believe in overtraining. To this day he still has that tendancy programmed to overkill that shit. It takes a toll on the joints and tendons, but it works. Ultimately if I didnt push those limits I wouldnt get that vent that I seek. Thats always the primary reason I train.
Im starting to go back to that older method of no rest between sets, now that I have all these strains. With certain bodyparts. Arms and delts mainly. Though as I take more and more damage the routines may evolve into that type of training more frequently to keep shit rolling. Always adapting
I used to bike 14 miles daily for transport to and from the gym for years. With my ultra fast metabolism and doing that it became very counter productive. Having almost no money meant I ate very little too at the time. So I mostly gained strength during those years. Size was very minimal but I made gains, painfully slow. At one point I was moving furniture and clearing out trucks mostly solo, for some piece of shit, and biking to the gym, training very long ontop of that. Because of my violent nature arrangements like that never lasted the longterm.

Once the base is established, yea I agree with you. Once established training can go many directions...even 3 times/week once established base if one keeps it heavy still with big movements...or 5-7 days/week how i do it now...I go heavy as I can for 15+ reps personally. squats I'll keep in 10+ rep range cause that shit is a bitch to do rep wise staying natty. being on shit the reps just kept coming....405 for 15s 315 for 20s as warmups lolComment

Agreed. As you can attest, once you reach a certain point it doesnt really matter if you train half assed or stop for a long time. It will come back much quicker and easier then it did in the past. That foundation stays with you. I believe even more so if you built a base without drugs, that its more permanent. Though I havent experienced both sides of that so cant say. I didnt start messing with any anabolics until after about 10 years of straight training.
Aside from that, one individuals experience is NEVER universal. Those who claim that thier routine or diet works for everyone are a complete joke. Its all about finding what works for you and tweaking that shit as needed, adapting to the way your body changes.
My strength doesnt increase massively on anabolics usually, unless its a more strength oriented drug. Super drol was rediculous for strength gains but so were the sides. My strength increases massively with any size increases but not so much from being on right away. Super drol had immediate strength gains, for example. Within the first few days.
I tend to keep most of my strength even while off. It sticks with me pretty good. I find alot of that is in the mind. If you believe you are weaker while off then you will be weaker. My mind was messing with me because of the joints, I believed I was much weaker on pressing movements. As a result I think I was for the last month or so. Yesterday I didnt think like that I was just like fuck it, KILLLLL. And the strength suddenly jumped back up to a good degree.
The anabolics give a huge mental edge for me, I think sometimes stronger then the physical results. Its definately a combination of the two. No doubt. When Im not on its easy for me to get into the mentality that im really small and weak, but Im learning to think differently, and as a result stay strong all the time. Even if I dont test it every session.
Most of my training has been off AAS , so for the most part I stay in this strength range unless Im injured or have to back off.
Im about to hit some legs now.

Leg press, extentions, leg curls
Low volume, moderate weight
Depth wasnt the best today on leg presses. Knees felt better during the extentions but tight when trying to go deep on presses. Throat was consticting tight as fuck towards the end. The issues I mentioned before with the throat. Coughing, gagging type of feeling. Not nausea type of feeling, but super tight throat. Mainly on left side. Still dont know what it is but have been dealing with it.
I think that the extra caffiene from the fat burners ive been taking the last week, is definately worsening the issue. Stimulants seem to aggravate it definately. As well as painkillers and dehydration. The docs seem to attribute it to my neck thickness, but my neck is really no thicker then it was years ago, so I dont see how that would be the issue. :
