Your flat bench, incline bench and high bar squat are practically identical to mine. Pretty strong for not training for strength.
I've been, more or less, in the gym since I was a kid. I remember getting Junior Certified at my gym at about 10 to be able to use the weights without an adult... My ego used to train for strength, just to be a strong savage... So, that's where the foundation is surely from. The bench, also, it BB style with the elbows flared, not sure how you bench. My squat is fairly strong since the person i've trained with for about 2 years now has the strongest fucking legs i've ever seen, so I'm constantly trying to "keep up", kind of.
I'm kind of the opposite in that I started out just wanting to look better and fell in love with chasing big numbers. This year changed things for me a little actually getting fairly lean for the first time since I've actually put some size on. I can't ever see myself not having at least a four pack and keeping a small waist, although I'll still be chasing ever growing numbers. I feel like I can have the physique I want just pursuing strength and keeping my diet in check. Maybe do like I'm doing now in the off season and catching up weak points while I take a little break from the big three.
Nah, I do bench with elbows tucked. Probably why my triceps are more developed than my chest.
I'd love to have a lifting partner like that. Only a few at my gym that are "on my level" so to speak and none of them have training styles that would work for me. There's one guy that switched from equipped powerlifting to bodybuilding a few years ago. He claims natty, but I'm doubtful as he competes and wins in his late 30's and he's crazy lean and muscular. Anyway, he does some really odd stuff with bands and chains and he brings a lot of his own cable machine grips. Like isolation stuff from odd angles with very focused contractions. It's very strange, but it seems to work for him. He took a guy under his wing earlier this year and dude looks pretty great already. Never in my life have I seen anyone train that way though.
That's similar to the training style I follow, a lot of bands, chains, odd working sets, isolation holds, etc....
That tattooed slut 'puss doesnt show you nerds all the good pics
I can assure you. He is jacked
I can assure you. He is jacked
Is that part of the John Meadows routine? I go to the only gym in a small Midwestern town, so I don't see much variety, lol. I didn't realize that was a thing, I figured he made it up from his equipped lifting days or something. He might be doing the same routine you are.
He might be doing something similar, a lot of people are into the Elite FTS bands and chains now... John Meadows has a handful or programs he's released, a lot incorporate bands and other similar tools. You ought to try deadlifting or benching with bands, what a difference...

This is perfect timing. Just moved to a new town and lost my lifting buddy. Cant seem to get focused on what I used to do. Matter of fact, thanks to @gr8whitetrukker for making every other day leg day. Already seeing new growth after a couple months of eod.
Okie dokie, well yesterday's leg day was NO joke! I feel like I was hit by a semi truck, I think my CNS is a bit shot, gonna make sure to eat a ton and use insulin 2x today. Glutamine, BCAAs and creatine will be on deck, as well. I can't wait to start the dbol and drol, but this NPP is definitely kicking in now.... Looking full and hard this morning. Quads we're extra vascular, too.
If you guys want a good leg day, give this a try! Here's a layout of what yesterday looked like:
Seated leg curls- A few warmup sets, then work up to your 10 rep max. The last set of 10 should be VERY hard, maintain form, though. Don't compromise volume by jumping to your 10 rep max within a few sets, I did 6 after the warmup.
Lying leg curl – Do 1 set of 30 here. This is a drop set. Do 10 hard reps and
then drop the weight and do 10 more, and then drop the weight and do 10
more. After your last set I want you to stretch each hamstring for 30 seconds.
Squats- Work up to a weight you can BARELY get 8 of. Once you hit about 3/4 lockout, go back down. Control the weight the whole time, especially on the descent. I think I did 7 sets total.
Leg extensions – drop set of death – You will do 4 sets here. Pick a weight and
do 8 reps with it. On the next set go heavier and do 8. On the 3rd set go heavier
and do 8. On the 4th set start heavier as well. After you do 8, pause at lockout
and do a 5 second isohold then drop down to the next weight and repeat. Keep
repeating until you get down to the weight you used on the first set. This is
going to test you mentally, good luck. I was literally in AGONY.
Calf raises- 2 warmup sets. Then, do 10 full range reps followed by a 10 second stretch at the top, then 10 partial reps, followed by another 10 second hold and lastly one more group of 10 partials, this is 1 set... Do this 2 times. Those of you who follow my workouts KNOW how much I love this one. I know a few members have mentioned they've seen results from this!
If you wanna do abs, which you should, do 4 sets of hanging leg raises, 20 or so reps.

Guys, a quick update on a little easy meal prep for your "bulk":
Buy the protein pasta (whichever you like), two jars of whatever red pasta sauce you like (I like the Organics Roasted Garlic) and 2lbs of 96% lean ground beef. Cook your beef, add your sauce, and let simmer for a bit. Cook your pasta, and then meal prep begins! I try to eat 1/2 pound of meat per meal, so this makes 4 servings for me.... This is EXCELLENT on the macro scale. Add as much pasta as you're allowing yourself, I typically will do the equivalent to about 30g of carbs, this will also add about another 10g of protein from the pasta.
User tip: The bowtie shapes are the best ones for this recipe, the spaghetti is second best.

Damn how did I miss this one??!! Subbed! You're logs kick ass WP!
I just got my first chance to read the first couple pages of Sentinel some birdy gave to me
I like what Meadows is all about. This is my first time reading anything about him. I like the high frequency layout and its refreshing to see a WO where there ISNT a planned arm day with a zillion sets.
Got a bunch of reading to do yet
Will implement soon

Agreed, my gym doesn't have some of the machines he uses so there will be some substitutions. Overall Looks great. Will start after work.

Yeah, I liked that too. Although, Im more of a apple crumb with the family kind of guy. Still applies.
That roughly translates to "2 sausage biscuits, hot cakes, a hash brown and orange juice from Mickey D's"...., to me. I don't know why I love that gross shit so much.
Duh, cuz its crazy delicious
just thought this pic was interestingThis is John Meadows early on
Proof he isnt a genetic freak like alot think these IFBB guys are
Alot of hard ass work to get where he is now. Consistency
