Weekend's Progress Log

[VayneZ]

awesome volume off the juice bro!! nice work! How's your overall recovery so far??

[Scope75]

Still some nice numbers and volume.

I'm going to copy that squat workout today and see how it goes.

[VayneZ]

meh..

Now I feel pressured to copy that for Tuesday..
Tuesday is WAR ala Weekend-style! It's gonna be a brutal weekend workout on a TUESDAY!

[weekend]

recovery is good i think

the biggest thing is eating enough

my weight is stable at 205 lb

but i am seeing definition in the arms and abs slowly fade away, along with the trap fullness.

i'm hoping i can get some back when my test levels are higher; also dealing with finals right now so diet is not that good since i have little time to cook, and sleep is even worse. still training hard.

Did that LSD alter your perception as to lifting for 5 days? Or was this all planned out for some purpose? lol

I've done LSD so many times. For some reason the following day I just feel all focused to go to the gym and KILL it. You know that feeling when your all trashed out and you're like: ''Gotta sweat this all out of my system and put myself together''.

That's how I used to feel at least. Once went to the gym on a mad shroom trip... I was in an all out adrenaline mental state, like going to war. Ended up injuring my shoulders bad!!!! NEVER AGAIN!

But, glad to see you killed that leg day and limped out lol sweet. How are your maintanance of the gains so far?

[weekend]

I actually didn't lift because I was just super tired every day for some reason lol all I wanted to do was hit the beach... Wasn't feeling strong

Deadlifted 445 in cabo the day before acid and it was sooo hard

Idk the whole finals right before break thing... I needed the days off

Hitting it hard now!

Shoulders tonight

[VayneZ]

ohh yeah that's right you had finals! I understand bruh... mental exhaustion can kill all the physical strength! So true!!
Finals went well though?

Sometimes you need those days off, man. If you're hitting it and hitting it and hitting it, your CNS will take a damn beating and it's not kind in return. Your CNS is responsible for contraction of the muscle. If it doesn't get a break at times, it'll rear it's head in the forms of general fatigue, not being as motivated, and ironically, weaker lifts. Fish oils and glutamine will help, but not like rest and sleep will. I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, but wanted to throw it out there.

Man... Now I really feel like I gotta take a week off... Thanks for the reminder. I guess as soon as I reach my goal in getting as lean as I want to I'll take a week off before I start packing strength back
