Rodgerthat trying to pick heavy things up.

Alright for real workout entry because I'm slackin.

Bench press 245 5,4,3,2,1 @8PRE
Incline bench 165 3x10
Cable fly 30s 2x10
Cable fly down 25s 2x10
Cable lifts 17.5 3x10
Tricep double rope 35s 6x16
Chest dip BW 4x16

The pointless PR is that I static hammer curled 75lb back against the wall without leaving for 5 reps each arm. Why you may ask? Because I had a lot of "gym bros" there that think because I usually never workout my arms it makes them weak and wanted to prove that a weighted pull up or heavy bent over rows will indeed keep your arms strong. Big no, strong yes. So these 15.5" arms still have some strength.

Also haven't really said much about my diet. I'm currently bulking up trying to get to 210-220 for training then cut to 198.

I'm doing this with 3800cals+cardio lost cals. What this means is that if I do burn 500cals doing cardio I'll eat 4300 total so that I maintain my 3800 regardless of daily activities difference. I'm standing 193 this morning with isn't great cause I was 197 last week but I was eating 6-7k daily dirty food kinda tweeking about the life situation but now I'm hyper focused and working hard.
Also the calories I eat to replace the cardio ones are oven roasted peanuts cause I just put a solo cup on my scale and fill it to desired amount of grams with nuts to make the difference and I'm feeling great eating the nuts right before bed.

I'm currently only tracking total calories and total protien as my total calories flux so no point trying to set a carbs and fat number but fats usually are below 120, protien is 220 why? Because that's the weight I want to be and I like the 1g per lb of BW thing for protien makes me feel best.


I've also started rolax into my pct as of yesterday to rid the last little bit of my gyno I took... Too much mg yesterday as I forgot I had taken morning pills and took them at night too. But flip side my gyno is incredibly small only I can notice it and it takes some work to find the nodule so hoping 4 weeks of rolax off cycle will get this all gone.

As for another life event, I may have a new lady in my life now been working at this one for a couple months now and listening to @bhog noble words of wisdom finally sealed the deal. Everything's more satisfying when you need to work for it right:p

Right on bro.
 
I'm not gone gone, I'm lurking still for sure. I'll never be gone just taking a step back. It's been a crazy few days trying to move back to my old naighbourhood and the place I lined up fell through so I have my truck full of all my crap with a rental moving trailer that has my car bike and toys in it but nowhere to go... So I'm laying in a hotel bed figuring it out. Highlight of the weekend was Saturday's workout. Pushed it on squats cause my legs all better with a top pyramid of 365x1 3sec pus 385x1 2sec pause 405x1 1sec pause then deadlift AMRAP PR 405x12. That's it I'll see ya later when I got some time.

Damn bro, im sorry to hear that, tough situation yet you still seem pretty positive. Very admirable trait and one that will help you when life kicks you in the balls. I hope things get better quick bud, i can tell your a good guy and if you lived in my neck of the woods i would gladly help you out.

Keep that positive attitude up man!
 
Got a place to stay, buddy had an extra room I can use. Had to put all my toys in storage only kept my barbell and bumper plates so that I can do backyard workouts and conditioning workouts or "crossfit" I ain't trying to hide it. My old coach heard I was back in town and wants me to play ball again, I'm going for Wednesday practice next week to see if I can still compete. It's a very high level game and I haven't played for 3 years now, my coach is hoping I still have my old skills but I really don't know if I can perform at a top end level for a sport I haven't played. Going to be focusing on maintaining my strength while conditioning myself. Found a gym too that's alright has enough weight and there's a communal chalk bowl so that's cool. Start work with my bro on Sunday again so that'll burn some cals too. Switching my diet up to 2900 calories (300 under maintainence) P220g C300g F90g then I'll be cutting 25g of fats every week for 8 weeks then hover at whatever that is for weight and just hopefully maintain a 315 touch and go bench 450 raw squat and 545-565 deadlift. I'm doing my best to stay on top of everything in life and trying to follow along with the none bullshit threads here too, pretty stressed out right now so it's cool reading my mesobros logs and seeing them crush weight even if I'm not actively saying anything. Only down side so far is my dog isn't diggin that he has to stay at my moms place right now, it's really hard to find a place with little notice that is fine with a 120lb German Shepard.

For those of you here that want a serious lifting thread this isn't going to be one for the next little while. For those who enjoy reading my diary keep on keeping on!

Glad you found something brother bear, just keep doing what you can and keep your head up, thats what i tell myself everyday when i wake up in the morning and i just want to quit, not even about the gym but just life in general, just keep pushing forward cuz at some point the shit storm has to break, right? Hahahah dont let that stress get to ya too much, ive been sttuggling for the past two years out west here trying to make it on my own and shit man i still gotta say, could be worse, could be back in florida strung out on meth and alcohol. Lol dont mean to get all preachy, probably saying this to you more because i need to hear it more than anything else, but hopefully you'll keep pushin along just like i am bud!

This was my old stomping grounds 8 years ago, use to ride with my golden retriever back when he was a pup. Fast forward and here I am again with my Shepard, very nastalgic day.

Workout highlights
Squat high bar 275 no hands 2 reps :cool:
405 2 second pause with SBD wraps
Bench 250 5x5 competition pauses with spotter calling down and up.
Hit 200lb BW but going on an adventure this weekend so I'll be back to 195 by the end I'm sure.

Recent purchases because stress makes me online shop
Got some slingshot black gangsta wrist wraps and a new fullboar slingshot cause I outgrew the arms on mine (how about that @Thenewera been working the pythons lol up to 17" flex :eek:)
Also ordered some more anavar cause my last order was dbol and did a big order with the pharmicist as well for the next couple cycles.

Next cycle starts in 5 weeks
1-12 500mg test e
1-10 400mg tren e
1-3 12-15 40-70mg anavar
8-10 40mg halo
15-19 pct

Cycle may extend to 16 weeks depending on how the summer turns out and where I'm at for the end of cycle.

You bastard... I'm just a medley 16.5 ... That next cycle is mine without the anavar and halo!! I'm loving it so far. Glad to see ya back posting. Full boar huh? My benc was never heavy enough to need that one

No way flexed your arms are significantly larger then mine they must be. Full boar just cause it's got the tapered arm holes much better then the OG slanger. Hopping one day I'll need the Maddog with a 500lb bench :cool:

I'm posting here and there but not like before just lurking mostly

The hell do you mean "no hands"? What are you a magic bear now?

It's just having it high bar then balancing when you go down, saw it on the ol Facebook with some dude doing 405 no hands so i wanted to try it.

Apparently there not bear, apparently not!
And oh shit is the full boar the yellow? If so that's what I have. I found it helped me busy through a huge platue the when I trained for strength
 
SBD wraps or sleeves? Either way good squat, good to see your leg is better and good to see you here.

SBD wraps 2m training version I've had em for a year and only used them 2 times so figured I'd crack em out since I've been reading about all the wraps in the powerlifting thread. Honestly not a fan of wraps though I think it only gives me like 30lb

@Thenewera ya yellow = full boar and it's the most clutch bench breakthrough I've ever had too I was stuck at 275 for a 1rm then go that and 4 weeks later smashed 315
 
Hey bro, I just caught up on the last few pages and am glad things have started to turn in the right direction. Keep on pushing bro, good things will come. In the meantime.. A man, his dog, and mother nature- what else does one need! Cool pic

Weird same exact plateau I broke with it.
 
So I work out in a rec centre now it's not too bad has everything but bumper plates and I got those at home so I make do. Anyways dude comes up to me to me to fire up a conversation even though I'm wearing my fuck off big headphones

Dude: hey man I have to ask you, what are you on?
Me: what?
Dude: I've seen you a couple times and I thought you were one of those guys with all sort of gear and posing but you don't really look like you lift but your numbers are huge, so what do you take?
Me: 6L of water, 4 chicken breasts and 150g of oats daily.
Dude: No I mean what kind of roids
Me: hardworkorone
Dude: *gives weird look and walks away*

Moral of the story is apparently I don't look like I lift in a rec centre crowd :/ guess I gotta stop wearing my Walmart XL shirts to the gym and start to wear tank tops and stringers to show off my bean pole arms like everyone else lol. Also I don't know what's up with the area that I live but literally everyone has workout gear knee sleeves, wrist wraps, belts the whole nine yards as if powerlifting a trendy now?
