Solid. You put some serious work into your back. Thank you for sharing.
207.0, flat as Kyrie’s earth. 5 days out of a “fuck it why not” show.
Now that's killer progress, and the next 5 days should get everything in place. Go get it, Mac!!!
What have you been doing for thigh work the past several years?
In retrospect, could you have achieved the same result without free/barbell squats?
Also, you have extreme balance about you. Break down that whole process.
As far as legs, let’s get something out of the way, my dad had amazing leg development just from pro-am hockey. So genetics are on my side there. I always strongly believe in building a base with the core movements, barbell squats being one of them, but no exercise is *necessary*, I just believe many are much more bang for buck and the systemic nature of a squat, a deadlift, a press, is superior for overall growth and look than an isolation like an extension. Lately, I’ve been away from barbell squatting for safety mostly as working sets were approaching 5 plates+ at 5’6 220. Seemed risky. I still deadlift. But leg press, squat machines, hacks, etc have taken over the majority of leg training. I’m back to smith squatting and barbell squatting but just not to the extremes and later in the workout.
as far as my balance, sincerely appreciate that and the answer is simple; I stopped training the shit that grew easily. I took an entire year off focused leg training and a legit 16 weeks with zero leg days to bring my upper body up to par. My arms were always weak so they got some strategic changes thrown at them from arms every day to no arms for two weeks to 3 days a week in the middle. Arms are still small, but not poverty level lol.
I believe most guys simply don’t want to stop training their strengths and like to ignore their weaknesses.

Say it again louder for the people in the back
I appreciate that detail, bro.
206.0. Up to 2.5gal for the second day. Day 3 Xpel OTC diuretic (3 half doses now). 400g rice, 8oz juice intra, 24oz grapefruit juice for carbs (~275g-ish?).
206.0 represents about 11-13lbs up from my prep for my June show. I’d say we’re about 2 weeks from Nationals conditioning with 4.5 weeks remaining. I’m feeling good.

super happy with these (tri needs a couple tweaks but I also have several side tri poses)
Got help with my rear double and oof, big change.
Was expecting to start carbing up today for a warmup show Saturday but that wasnt the plan so patiently waiting for coach to say “go.” I leave in the AM to drive out. 2.5gal water, ~100g carbs today.

How many gallons of water will be tmrw and Saturday- If u drank 2.5 gallons tday arent u pissing your brains out now?
2.5gal and an OTC diuretic so yea. Tons of piss lol.
Tomorrow isn’t written yet. I’ll wake up early, hop on the scale, run to the gym for checkin photos, send em to my coach, and wait for the plan. The plan may be only my next meal or a general strategy for the day. We’ll see.
I woke at 205.2 today. It’s 10pm, 2.5gal and 6 meals down and I’m 205.6….so things may get interesting.
Good luck, Mac...hope you nail this one.
Tan on. Softens you up a bit. Last meal was 200g steak, 200g rice, 175g potato, heavy salt.
So it's about showtime...bring it!
Easy HW win. Overall tonight. Weight is lower than I weighed in at 8am. Super full, just need to dry out again.
