12/12
Still feeling pretty good. It's been since late october that I have been back in and consistent. I have been packing on some poundage which i assume is water weight/ muscle, with my waist size remaining a 42.5.
It's funny looking at my body at the end of the week, when all my muscles have been worked and tight. I can just see the bf just hanging off, kinda weird i know. But it reminds me of this Muscle Magazine I saw with this bodybuilder stripping off a fat suit and he's supper lean beneath.
I have not been trying to increase poundage, because I have found that slowing my pace down, squeezing at the top, pausing at the bottom is working for me. So I usually get in about 200 on the bench, 315 deads, 185 front squats, 185 rear squats. For arms, BB 21s have been working great along with seated skulls. I hit calves twice a week, (lagging biceps) twice a week. I also split up my upper and middle peck workout.
Sunday Chest Incline BB (4 sets) ss/ w seated calf raises (4 sets) Incline Flyes (4 sets) Machine Incline (4 sets) Maybe some decline pullovers Seated triceps ext (4 sets) Overhead rope ext (4 sets) T-handle press-downs (3 drop sets)
Monday Back Deadlifts (4 sets) Wide grip pull downs (3 sets) BB Rows (3 sets) Seated Cable Rows (3 sets) DB row (3 sets) Rev flyes (2 sets) BB 21's (7,7,7- 6,6,6- 5,5,5) Incline machine curls (4 sets) Cable curls (4 sets)
Tuesday Legs Front squats (4 sets) Rear Squats (4 sets) Leg Press close stance (4 sets) Seated calf raises (4 sets) Seated leg curls (4 sets) Leg Ext (4 Sets) Lying Leg curls (4 sets) Machine calf raise (4 sets)
Weds off
Thursday Flat BB (3 sets) Flat DB (3 sets) Flat Fly (3 sets) Heavy Cable cross (3 sets) Hammer curls close grip preacher curls
Friday shoulders Rev flyes (4 sets) front Shurgs SS/ rear shurgs (3 sets) Front raises (3 sets) Side raises (3 sets) DB Press (4 sets) Lying front lat raises (4 sets) -this is done using seated cable row system
Sat off
Cardio is down usually on the bike for 45 minutes on Weds, thurs, fri, sat
I know some numbers may look funny.. Low sets on some and higher on others, but remember, since I started slowing down and squeezing at the top and pausing at the bottom, my muscles are fatigued at certain points of the workout.
Thus far this has been working out like crazy. I feel solid and strong. My diet is:
Breakfast:
Protein shake, oatmeal, flaxoil
Preworkout NO explode
Post workout (immediately) Cellmass
30 min Post workout Protein shake
lunch chicken breast/ one cup of green veggies/ brown rice
Snack power bar (brand) protein plus bar, pint of milk
Dinner chicken breast/ one cup of green veggies
snack Shake/cellmass
before bed Cassien and flax
(the chicken is often substituted with turkey breast, or chuck beef)
This has been working. I also try to get 1 1/2 gallons of water.
My only issues is my nagging lower back, due to a crappy bed. i wake up in agony. I need a new pillow top king size mattress.
Alright guys thats all with me. Lata
