Lol yeah I feel you. Look into the massages tho, never know you may find a girl to date who is a massage therapist then youre really set! My ex was one and had a table set up in my room, 4 years of free massages and happy endings, cant go wrong there haha

Making it a goal to hit the 100's on shoulder press in the next two weeks. Hit 95's for two reps with a spotter.


Also realized just how much a difference lighting can make on a physique... In a reflection outside in the sun I looked like a freaking tank. A tubby tank now, but non the less, I was looking THICK. Shoulders and triceps are definitely beefing up big time.


Haven't had much luck with bi's lately. They aren't a weak point for me, but my workouts have just been uneventful for them. No pump or anything. What exercises are you guys running regularly? I've been doing ezbar curls, heavy hammer curls for low reps, close grip chinups, and incline dumbell curls.

100% fried today. Walked into the gym without really feeling it. Was somewhat groggy and had an upset stomach all day long, but couldn't skip a leg workout.

Cardio for 5 minutes, stretching, leg extensions for warmup

Squats (All ATG, no safety pins)
135x10
185x8 pause at the bottom for a few seconds
225x5 paused at bottom
275x5 paused at bottom
315x5 paused for 5 seconds in the hole each rep
315x5 paused
315x3

Front squats, all explosive
135x20
185x10
225x6
275x3
315x1
135x16 (felt miserable here, form went to shit and dropped it)

Leg press- didn't really look at the weight, just threw another 90lbs on after each set. Tried to feel the muscle with these, I normally just move weight.
5x20ish

Leg extensions- Didn't look at the weight again, just going by feel. I can move the stack with ease for reps, but I never feel it when I do so.
4x8-10 reps

Lunges
grabbed two 60lb dumbells and walked around the gym for a while. Real test of mental strength and willpower here.

Smith machine lunges
90lbs, 2 sets of 15 reps each leg

Hack squats- I just load the thing up with weight and go as low as physically can, exploding up.
5 sets of 3 reps.

Well, if I'm at the gym, I might as well hit it hard. First time not using knee wraps in a while either, making it all that much harder. What an artificial difference with wraps.... They inflate your squat so much, but don't have any carryover whatsoever.

My back volume is mind blowing though. I'll post up my next back workout set for set on here.

[ryhigh]

That's why you look like you do, you kill it. Yeah man post it next time for sure. I train my back with the most also, so interested to see your workout

I feel weak and useless now just reading this mad torment you did to your lower chains. Sick man! Sick! and HEAVY front squatting!

Hey, I couldn't touch that volume you did the other day. Never gone this high on reps in quite some time.

That 315 front squat was pure luck today. Choked myself the whole time trying to keep the weight in place without leaning forward... Got stuck for about 5 seconds halfway up and had to shrug/press up with my arms to get that last push. I've hit 315 before, but never after back squats.

I'm going to start front squatting more often though, maybe twice a week. My quads are pretty small unfortunately, more hamstring dominant.


One thing that always drives me nuts is how some guys can barely squat 225 at my gym, but have bigger legs than me. Just goes to show you that weight means nothing.

Continued to feel rough today. Tendinitis is kicking in BAD as well. Can't do any underhand grips right now, time to take a day off.

Hit some chest and back. Had more in me, but just couldn't focus at all. Plowed through regardless.

Wide pullups- 3 sets to failure, about 15-20 reps each set.
Dumbell bench- 80x15, 90x8, 100x7, 85x8
Cable row- 250lbs 3 sets 8 reps
Barbell bench- 185x10, 225x7, 225x5, 225x5
Overhand Barbell row- 185x15, 225x8, 225x6, 245x5, 135x15 slow reps
Machine chest press- 250lbs+resistance band, 3x8
Lat pulldowns wide- 200lbs 3x7-8 reps. Wasn't feeling it at all. Dropped weight to 130lbs just to get a stretch/contraction after this.
Straight arm pulldowns wide- 100lbs 3x30
Machine horizontal row- didn't write it down, did sets of 8 though.


I've been mixing it up lately. Some days strength, others hypertrophy based. Hoping that this helps me in the long run.

You're a strong man bud! Do you train usually alone or with a partner?

And you're actually inspiring me to start focusing again on front squats.. Been Awhile
