I know you like to fuck around on this site, so I dont take those suggestions seriously. I have alot of leg press videos on here already. At this point its pretty redundant since I dont go for records with those anymore. The depth is varied depending on my knees too. Its one of the most painful and intense things I do training wise, but not much to look at.
The videos would not be much different than what is already posted. No real progression with those anymore. Maybe I will post some more again eventually. I should start breaking alot of new strength and rep records with chest and shoulder pressing though. My joints have some pain so I have to see how shit feels on a session by session basis. I would rather last longer now than break new numbers when shit flares up. Sometimes Ill grind through it anyway but trying to minimise that for now and grow. The big increases with dumbbell pressing strength is alot of getting the rhythym down more. Since I was always into barbells as my main chest work. Dumbbells were never a first exercise and I rarely did them in the past for chest. Dumbbells now are overall better on my joints now so Ive been using them more and should hit alot of reps with the 125s once I get more accustomed to the positioning and rhythym.

that's cool bro. I just feel that every work out is important, therefore every work out should have a video, regardless if there are strength gains or not, because videos serve as inspiration to train for others. Maybe one day we could train again, maybe it would be cool, but I stay the hell away from ephedrine these daysOriginally posted by Walking Beast View PostComment

Other than that it doesnt serve much purpose. When my upper body is beat up I like to train legs for the vent. It adds bodyweight too but getting my legs much thicker is more a nuissance than benefit. I train alone these days. Too much bullshit to deal with. It was useful when I trained max lifts on the bench presses. I have no use for that anymore. Those days are dead.
There is really nothing to discuss with you. You seem to think that there is. You can post these redundant comments if you have nothing better to do with your time, but I wont be entertaining that shit anymoreComment

damn you seem angry, what's wrong?Comment

Oh so this is how you treat me after so many years of training together? really? I better not see you because I'm very strong now, and you are coming across as a bitch, who seems ''angry'' and ''overly defensive'' about nothing, you act like a loser, because maybe that's what you areOriginally posted by Walking Beast View PostComment

Arms
Light and low volume today. Shoulders were somewhat inflamed prior but took 8 aspirin and didnt really feel it too much during.
Want to preserve shoulder joints for some heavier chest training next week possibly. Depending. Bodyweigtht is still around 233 which isnt bad considering ive been off the creatine for about a week. So it may go up some when I start back on. Ran out.

Back and few sets delts
Very light and low volume . Super light headed, dizzy today. So just a few sets. I wanted to save my joints for a heavier chest and shoulder session next week, possibly as well. Theyve been a little inflamed and trying to manage that shit to last longer now.
Ate very little yesterday. Eating is still half ass but overall much more than before. Most of my muscle memory is back at this point, after the break, and chest/back is bigger than before, so gains may slow down now. Will see.

size update
despite half ass eating last few days, chest/ back measurement is up to 55 1/4 cold flexed now. Another 1/2 inch gain since the last increase i measured. Largest arm is still hovering around 19 1/4 and 19 1/8 range cold. Legs 27 1/2.
these type of gains are unusual for me and doesnt seem to be more fat around the chest/back. My gut was much larger at 242 in the past before, and my chest then was only 53 1/4.
considering a heavy chest day tommorrow or in a few days. Im aiming for some targets on the incline hammer strength press and nautilus overhead press for my heavy chest/shoulder day.
have to see how shit feels but i will likely target those lifts very soon , the numbers in my head will be something like , hammer strength incline press , 450x17-20, 500x10-15, 540 for 5 plus, etc. For shoulder press maybe ill hit a few reps with 7 plates a side (630) but that i have to see. It really depends how joints feel after the incline machine work. There are some other target numbers as well such as 540x10 plus for that machine as well. I set the numbers in my head 5-10 reps higher so that there is never any pause in my power and speed. I should be at 17-20 with my 450 set though on hammer inclines. Strength has been coming up very quick and i think ill be able to hit several records. At the least i expect to match my old bests this week.

About to hit some chest and delts. Will see how joints feel but should be able to atleast match some of my old bests on incline hammer strength press if not hit some new records. My last session on this machine was about 16 days ago. I had two light weeks between. This has allowed my joints more recovery overall , while strength and size has been coming up fast.
I will cut the reps low on the warm ups as I did last time on this movement and try for records with 450,500,540 most likely. The 450 set should be approaching 20 reps or very close, 500 should be atleast at 10, if not a few more, and 540 should be no less than 5, maybe more. I dont set any limits in my head but Ill see where the weight collapses.
If joints feels decent enough after many sets of incline hammers then I will hit the nautilus overhead press most likely, plate loaded, and see what I can get on that. 540x10 is a possibility as well as 630 for a few reps. Depends on joints though. Sets may be cut back on the inclines if joints are an issue as well but I should be able to hit some better numbers and possibly records on inclines

Chest and delts
KILLED SOME SHIT today
Today was my heavy chest and delt session. I waited 16 days for this shit, so I had a very strong drive to KILL THAT SHIT, as I hate training lighter. Ive been spacing out my heavier sessions to keep my joints lasting longer this time around. I took 8 aspirins prior to the session. Normally Id take 2 naproxen (440 mg) , but the 8 aspirin has been working pretty well last few times I took them. Helps with joint inflammation.
Massive strength increases yet again from the last heavy session. Weekly now, my strength increases have been very large since Ive been back. Even with the rep work on the dumbbells. I will have a week or two of lighter work most likely before going for more records on these lifts but my strength increases have been very good for not hitting the movements weekly.
Chest hit 55 1/4 cold the other night. So I have definately been adding new muscle, as the strength increases back that up. Body weight is still at 233 but Ive also been off the creatine for a week, so some of that may be new weight. Eating has been on and off , sometimes very low protein, but regardless size and strength is consistantly shooting up.
I hit a few all time records today which was very good. I believe these records were from 2012 when I was 242 lbs. My chest was only 53 1/4 then and my gut was much larger, so at 233 Im carring more muscle now. My joints also had 10 months to heal from the break.
Arms are closing in on the 19 1/2 mark as I see them moving up a little on the tape, but not there quite yet.
I was tempted to go for many sets on the incline hammers but I restrained myself. I ended up pulling out my neck on the 630x2 shoulder press set, then finished off with some light shit and left.
Records today included 500x11 (got it on second attempt with this weight), 450x20 (both on incline hammer press), then 540x13 on overhead nautilus shoulder press and finishing with 630x2 (pulled out next after first rep or second).
