Strive For Moreee

So this leg workout isn’t part of the program it was supposed to be an off day today but I’m bored as hell and got some new preworkout in the mail that I was impatiently waiting to use tomorrow so it went down today. BPS Stimrush. Great preworkout IMO. Will definitely buy again.

Could barely walk up out of the 27 rep hack squats. They literally destroyed me. Massive pump achieved.
 
Smashed a cheat meal tonight for the first time in awhile. California Grilled Chicken Sandwich (grilled chicken, bacon, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, onion) and two orders of sweet potato fries. Curious to see how that effects my weight in the morning. Also had this crazy Oreo crusted crazy ass donut this morning. Forgot about that haha. Oh well. Gotta live a little bit. As long as I’m enjoying training and my lifestyle that’s all that matters. I’m not in prep. Just aiming to stay tight and continue to gain muscle and compete early next year in my first show.

Dude wow that sounds sooooo amazing. You eat clean, train hard and rarely cheat on your diet so I say well done sir. Hopefully you posted a pic of this feast on OGH’s thread

I didn’t. I was out shopping. Got like “hangry”. Saw Red Robin and just went in haha. No time for pics. What’s getting on my damn nerves though is I’m holding fat in like the love handle area and it’s like mentally driving me insane.

It’s probably for the best I can’t see it. I still have one more serving of chicken, mustard and oats to shovel down ugh

Red Robin is the shit! I destroyed one of their Royal’s a few weeks ago, the burger with a fried egg on it. Fuck my stomach just rumbled at the thought.

Yeah that’s what my buddy got. Definitely looked damn good. I was pretty satisfied with my sandwich. I wanted to cheat but not go too far off the rocker. Idk why but anymore when I eat some crazy shit I just get sick anymore.

Chicken mustard and oats sounds like an interesting combo. Too bad I literally despise mustard haha. Although thinking of some weird combos I eat one of my favorites are chicken rice scoop of peanut/almond butter and cinnamon.

A wise decision. I’ve plugged the royal into my fitness pal before, looking up the stats now... oh boy haha

For that fat content, you’d think there would be more protein! Fuck what a rip. Tastes incredible though ha

Fortunately I love mustard so it’s an easy add to boring ole chicken. Cinnamon very nice, You probably already know but just in case, cinnamon also improves insulin sensitivity.

Bet the burger is pretty damn good though. It looked like it. I’m gonna have to try it some day. Bet a good bit of that fat is from whatever type of sauce they put on it. The California chicken sandwich I got had like 38g of fat when I plugged it in. Including the mayo, bacon, and cheese so I figure drop the mayo and that’s probabaly 20g of the fats right there. Anyways. A cheats a cheat haha.

And yes. I burn through a lot of cinnamon. It can definitely be used in many many ways on all types of shit. I recently became a fan of “G Hughes Smokehouse Sugar Free BBQ Sauce”. 2g of carb per 2tbsp. Hickory flavor is very very good.

Yeah but you did it right, that’s how to do a cheat when it’s portioned out. I get in serious trouble when I order up a meat lovers pizza. I will destroy that bad boy before I know what happened, then it takes days to process all that nastiness lol. Walking into the gym like a preggo. You’ve seen this movie before.

Bro thank you so much. I’m gonna look for that BBQ sauce tomorrow, great suggestion

Yeah it’s honestly very good. Walmart carries it that’s where I normally grab it at. Trust me I get it. I could EASILY order up a loaded pizza and breadsticks and crush the whole thing with no regrets. What’s even more fucked up is how appealing that sounds right now haha.

Well, what was pretty noticeable today was the fact I was most definitely stronger on NPP and SD than Tren and Var. Also, I just feel run down right now. I’m looking forward to the deload coming up soon. Think I’ve just been pushing too hard for too long a period of time without giving myself a week or so to catch up in added recovery. Think it’s just finally caught up with me this week.

Looks like your getting in some killer work outs man. Not to be a dick but doing another round of Orals again might be what’s wearing you down.

No your absolutely right. I felt great on the NPP and SD. Not so much on tren and Var. Regardless of taking a few week break from orals in the middle it’s still very taxing to the body. Which is easy to neglect. Definitely not the smartest move but, a learning experience.
 
It could be that your kidneys are being taxed more then the liver which is something often overlooked. Also during long blasts like this I feel like I have a lot of lactic buildup. Making recovery more difficult. You deserve a nice long deload my man.

I’m taking two weeks. In all honesty I couldn’t agree with you more. Believe it or not I do take precautions and listen to my body first and foremost. But, in the same breath feeling “good and strong” allowed me to overlook proper rest and the deload I probabaly needed 8 weeks ago haha. More or less it just came to light today looking at changes in weight, visual changes, and strength changes the last couple weeks compared to the beginning. I know just because I “feel good” I still need deeper recovery. DOMS aren’t really an issue the muscle soreness and ability to jump into the next session without needing extra day of rest and whatnot wasn’t the issue. I can just physically feel I need a good week or two with like 70% of normal working weight to just fully give my body a break. There’s no lack of nutrition, and definitely no lack of intensity in training, but what is lacking is I’m only giving myself about 80% proper recovery and it’s finally caught up to me.

Solid workout today. Start back to work tomorrow have been off for the last 5 months so not looking forward to that or having to build a new daily/weekly routine around shift work which of course will always be changing. Strength felt pretty good today. Added some weight to machine presses, 10lbs to incline Barbell for x6 since last week which was nice. Changed up my diet a bit also. Protein was at 350g and I dropped it to 325g and raised carbs from 350 to 375g and fats are staying at 75g.

224lbs I’m these taken post workout today. My right arm is so much more freakin vascular than my left it drives me insane. Anyways. Goal is adding muscle and getting stronger. Not looking to be no instagram model shredded right now. I wanna get bigger, stronger, and not lose control in body composition which I don’t think I could ever do anyways. But still. Keep calories up even after the blast. Only about 4 weeks left. Finish Gamma Bomb then start another Meadows program and keep growing.
