Leancuisine joins the darkside.....:cool:

Every goddamn day :cool:

Grass is always greener on the otherside.... miss that shit but my days are over haha. Time to move it on
That's right. Move on man. Just a part of growing up. That's what helped me get over the hump. You'll have plenty of time in your salty sixties to tell tales to the kiddos and brag about how not pussy you were. Thank you for your service. Even if you were a damn ranger ;)

Hey someone's gotta look pretty with all the new equipment :P

Thank you for your service as well brother.
 
Oh I found my sweet spot in Dahlonega around 0300 walking up a mountain.
All I could focus on was the ACH hanging off the back of the LT's ruck above me...
Go figure, shit falls off, hits me, 2 people below me, and falls all the way down to the bottom. You could hear every plunk of the helmet bouncing off the rocks.


My comfort zone? Any time there's an a10 overhead I felt pretty damn comfy, but never complacent

Haha, check this out @Leancuisine
Had a similar thing happen to me doing the German Proficiency Badge.
Fuckin LT, shorter guy 5'7, was trying to zig zag the mountain going up like only one crazy motherfucker I know, myself. No shit I look back he kept taking quick stops every 50 meters, and this guys ruck is going down the mountain. Apparently he wanted to grab a canteen out of the ruck, shit slipped and startin gainin momentum. The Germans that were under me started yellin " pass auf "
I beat the swimming record with full ACUs, fuckin the chin-up hang, and the fuckin ruckin up a mountain. The only reason why I did it is to talk crazy shit in German and get on the good side with the German version of CID that were majority females. You want to see a motherfucker shine, the only cat speakin it fluently and street 2, sheeeit. Got invited to their dorm, the rest was history. Thought Top was going to rip me a new asshole coming late to formation smellin str8 like German beer, sex, and perfume. Good thing I was on his good side.
Dahlonega, never was on that side of the mountain, but if you shoot Hwy 19 str8 up North to Blairsville got dropped of there before and rucked for a week. Took Hwy19 to 60 then progressed NW until you cross into TN followed 68 North bound until Tellico Plains, took 165 East, all the way until I crossed the border into NC, 143 into Robbinsville, took a dip in the Santeelah Lake, zig zaged some more up to Hwy74, up to Waynesville, took 40 up to Ashville, shot North bound Hwy26, took Hwy 25 up to Hot Springs and called in to be
X-filled.
Found old Paper I annotated the trip.
Good times

It's funny to see SO come out of his shell...
probably shot the shit with this dude on the daily for 2 years before we even acknowledged anything more than one liners. :D

Your on point @TANGO.ECHO.KILO
Always used this site just to hear direct action input what and how these compounds were affecting the individuals for bb purposes. From there I could look at notes, studies, and figure out my own unconventional method how to fix myself up and how to use it in certain instances.
Yes we did keep it ping pong motion for a long time.
Thanks for not giving up on me @TANGO.ECHO.KILO. Much appreciated Bro.

Haha he's been a blast. Brings me back to my glory days.....
Had a sad realization today when I was looking at my blue.card, and when I turned it over it said civilian - yes...
:(

Fuckin A @Leancuisine I think if a Revolution hits, I'm reaching out to you.
Can see it now, c'mon let's go get those pussies, have the town on lockdown in under 48.
Glory days, ain't never to be forgotten, it's the shit that keeps you going, and when the shit gets hard, just have to remember that we chose this lifestyle, nobody made us.
Well, Benning made me, they didn't make me, ugh now I'm confused. You get the lingo.
Cool card, let's see if I make it that far to get one, with those words on it.


Every goddamn day :cool:

Grass is always greener on the otherside.... miss that shit but my days are over haha. Time to move it on

The War is fought by the young and talked by the old Men.
Hey, be glad, be proud, and know, that you know, how the shit on this side of the fence really is. There is no fuckin high speed pew pew, bang bang movie, that could really explain what the fuck a Soldier goes through Psychologically, Physiologically, emotionally, and just as a whole in general.
Miss it, its those words I'm afraid of.....

Hey someone's gotta look pretty with all the new equipment :p

Thank you for your service as well brother.

You motherfuckin right.
Then you come up to Bragg. Come to Selection, make it through the Pipeline and play around with unlimited amount of pew pew and bang bang.
That's if you make it through...

Thank you to everyone that served our country, and the ones that never made it back....
Thank you....no problem, I have a blast.

Just remember it fondly and know you spent your time the right way...thank God or whatever you believe in that you are happy, healthy, and came back with most of your bits and pieces.

Yes Sir, kept looking at that sentence for the past few minutes.
Couldn't of said it better myself.



Alright Gents, it's Zero Dark Thirty.
I'm out this Motherfucker.
Nothing else follows.
 
Did my first workout from @Thenewera 's bodybuilding split today. LEG/BACK day. Will write down what I remember from it... also completely missed the pulldowns on accident

Lots and lots of volume... had to knock the weights down quite a bit for myself.... also had to use smith machine because all the racks were taken, and it fucked my back up for some reason which affected the rest of the day, but the workout itself was fucking awesome. Just gotta get my mind out of explosive power and into aesthetics.

Squats. 225x12, 275x10, 315x8, 315x8, 335x6, 365x4, 365x4
BB Lunge 5x12 @135 lbs
CG BB Row 4x12 @135
Iso extensions 2x10@95, 2x10@125 (did these single leg)
Pull up 4x12
Singe leg lying ham Curl 5x12 @50lbs
CG Cable row 5x12 @140

I did the next 2 exercises on that shrug/lunge machine
Rear delt shrug 5x12 @90
Stuff leg deads 5x12 @90

Standing Calf Raise 3x60 sec at 10lbs
Behind back shrug 3x20 @135

No cardio. Felt lazy. But workout was pretty damn good, honestly.
Focused a lot on that "mind muscle" connection that @Thenewera mentions in his log. Most exercises had a 2 second pause at the top... Hamstring Curls were killer. On Monday I am getting all the measurements done so I can track every little detail of progress while running this split.... I'm pretty excited honestly.

Glad you liked it man!! No big deal that you may have missed a few things or changed up a bit. It's a lot to convert to all at once. Just keep grinding it out!! Nice numbers on the squats!

thanks brother. I usually hit up above 400's, but I rarely ever go above 8 reps on any of my lifts, so the 12 range was a bit more than i thought!!
Gonna swallow my pride, knock all my weights down, and really focus on aesthetics

strong work man.
I feel I have a good mind+muslce connection with certain groups and exercises but with others I struggle from training some many full body compounds. I've heard people like @gr8whitetrukker and @Notits @Wunderpus say posing can help build the connection. It aids in isolating specific groups and feeling the contraction of these muscles, then you add the weight on. Good luck with your new routine, shock should stimulate some good growth.

Posing helps a ton! Training in front of a mirror, touching the muscle while you lift, flexing it RIGHT after your set for 30 seconds all work too!

My mind-muscle connection is great for my back and chest, but terrible with my biceps especially. Using those techniques I have brought the biceps up very close to where the rest of my body is, in terms of connection.
 
Also, if it helps, close your eyes when you lift and focus on the squeeze and don't lower the weight until that muscle is gonna blow up.

For biceps-
Sit at a preacher
Grab the weight
Do 5-8 pump up reps
At the top HOLD that weight, fucking hold it. Do not let go, squeeze and AIM to make it hurt more and more. Focus on that pain and pump.
Lower the weight.
Do it again.

Now stand up and squeeze your arms without the weight to replicate that squeeze exactly. This will take practice, but you will become a jedi if you can do this.
 
touching the muscle while you lift
can you elaborate on this?
Ive seen videos of guys doing like pulldowns and a guy standing behind them pushing slightly on the upper traps or on their quads when they were doin leg extension.....I always thought they were just illustrating the contraction for the video or whatever.

I find while training someone when I touch my fingers between the pec there able to focus on the squeeze more as I tell them to *smash my fingers* same for rows and trap/lat movements.

@Wunderpus you too like to flex the bicep after flexing the bicep. I too like to live dangerously
 
I like to train while my girl touches my pecker. If that counts:cool:
I don't do much posing. If any while in the gym. It's looks douchy and I really don't want the attention. Pretty introverted

See I think it's not douchey at all. I mean, to each their own truk. But, if I see someone posing, ( hitting actual poses ) I don't mind at all. I actually will examine and look. It's all towards someone's goal. It's very beneficial in my mind to truly recruit the muscles throughout the workouts and in between sets. But like I said, to each their own.

regardless of when you do it...whether intra-workout or at home naked in the mirror :cool:
the concepts do work though correct? You become more and more aware over time?

Correct. Although I do find while working the muscles - if I'm really posing and contracting hard between sets it keeps the blood in the muscle more and allowing for a better pump and better mind to muscle recruitment as you have the " feel " of it the whole time.

But if being naked in the bathroom with your dick smacking the counter while hitting a most muscular floats your boat, so be I
 
as you have the " feel " of it the whole time.

The "feel"? Is this like cumming? Everytime you have a pump it is like you are cumming? It's fantastic!
