God I miss the whistle of my f250, had to sell it due to parking in the city

Fords are public enemy number one to left wing fuck tards. They LOATH them. I think it reminds them too much of America and why we are so great

Damn. I step out for a minute and the whole community comes in to chat

nice job bro, coming along good.

Healthy dose of freedom this morning.

Did back today.
Warmup w/ pullups. 30 unassisted, 20 assisted with band.
Weighted pull ups 3 dropsets of 5/6/8 reps @ 60lb/30lb/bodyweight
T Bar Row 3 drops 6/8/8 @ 3 plates, 2 plates, 1 plate
Pulldown 3x6/8/8 @ 180/160/150
High row 3x6/8/8 @ 80/70/60
CG Pulldown 3x10 @210lbs
Single arm straight pulldown 4x12 @40lbs
15 min stair stepper

Think that's all I did.... didn't do tabata because the room with the ropes was getting gangbanged by a crossfit class and the sledgehammer room was locked up

still a solid workout.
when you you do single arm pulldown you are sitting on the bench straight forward?

 

[Leancuisine]

nice job bro, coming along good.

Thanks brother. I'm still waiting for this stuff to kick in too.... I've heard great things about mast.
My buddy is trying to talk me into running tren with it too. He just finished up that cycle and is cruising with mast and winny for 3 weeks until his show. He's looking pretty diced up.

No I do them standing. I angle my body a bit and it let's me pull my elbows past my back and can really get a squeeze.
Also found that leading/focusing on moving your elbows instead of hands seems to work the back better

 

[Leancuisine]

I'm not sure if you are thinking of the actual pulldown, or of the cable version of the pullover?
I'm doing the Pullover version, except on cables using the pulley in the high position, and standing.

I thought you meant this, my mistake

the reason I ask is a bbing buddy recently recommended me try them sitting perpendicular to the bench, so basically you sit on one ass cheek and lean in towards the machine. It changes the path of the handle slightly to more of a slight arch, you get a really good stretch at the top and squeeze at the bottom. They are growing on me...

Yeah I know exactly what you're talking about. I saw a guy do it at the gym and I copycatted him, I love them.
I will do a burnout of those at the end of my workouts, alternating from left to right arm with ascending reps. So it would go 1 rep with the left arm, 1 rep with the right, 2 reps with the left, 2 with the right... etc... all the way to 10. Will do the same thing with chest cable flies, leg extensions, and DB upright row for shoulders

If I may humbly suggest if your looking for a BB style lat building tool, focus on bent dumbbell rows. I know I'm talking to PL's/athletes here so that's why I say that. BB related training is sooo much about the contraction it's not even funny. If PL are the raw hard laborers bb's are the carpenters. More focused on building some thing than moving heavy weight.

The trick with dumbbell rows is to row in like a half moon. Like your tracing the edge of a circle with your arms. It's kinda unnatural cuz most wanna row in a straight line but practice rowing to the hip bone instead. A little practice and you'll see what I mean. Focus on squeezing them lats. Let em get all bunched up and swollen. This is where you practice your tolerance for pain. Won't take much weight. Try with 50's to start and shoot for 12-15. Once you perfect the contraction increase weight in so far as your still holding the contraction and not just pulling

^^^^
Then superset those with straight arm pulldowns if you got the cohones

Imo the single lat pulls with the db rows you described would take BIGGER cohones. Blast the right side (pulls, rows) then the lift side....or left right.

 

[Leancuisine]

Fuckin awesome @gr8whitetrukker you've been sharing a lot of great info on back this thread, thank you!

@Seven Dog I'm definitely gonna have to give them both a shot.

Thank you both.

Well got a letter in the mail today saying my VA benefits are locked in. Had a celebratory taco... just diced up the low carb bbq chicken and threw that, cheese, spinach, and Chipotle sauce on a tortilla.

Feeling great... been thinking about banging ugly chicks, hot chicks, fat, skinny, and all the ones in between, so I guess the mast p is kicking in. By the time I get back from vacation things should be full swing and I'll focus a lot on strength, the big 3 plus pull ups.

 

[SpartacusOmega]

Ey Ranger, congrats on locking in the VA benefits Bro.

 

[JLino]

Good to hear brother, VA is a heck of an animal to deal with.

 

[Leancuisine]

Thanks brothers

20 days out. Slipped last night and ate some cheesecake... Ok the whole cheesecake. My wife brought it home.... asshole.

Not looking as dry as I should be. No more fucking around with my diet.

Did shoulders today with my buddy. Pretty chill workout.
