Summer cycle

Honestly I don't know why but I remembered brutus doing them and thought I might as well see what they were like. Have to admit felt pretty good.
You get some great trap activation when you shrug heavy... I read a lot about static holds too... I will do a few shrug sets at 75% 1rm and then one last set where I hold it as long as I can. Stretches the shit out of traps and builds grip strength like a mofo.
 
I forgot to mention that I only took between 40-60 second breaks between sets and about 3 minutes between exercises. That was the hardest part was keeping the resting periods short

They did feel good. I normally do the static hold on my last rep when I'm using DBs. Another great thing for grip is grabbing some heavy ass DB and doing farmer carries. Just plan a route pick them up and walk.
 
I was supposed to do legs but since I had a really good day Monday and did dead lifts again yesterday I decided to just do some arms heading into my couple day break

Really looking forward to this break. Probably only going to be 2 days out of the gym but it will be much needed. Plus I'll probably throw some cheat meals and do a re feed with some pizza and other good stuff. Hopefully come Sunday or Monday if I can hold out I'll feel brand new and ready to get down with some good tren.
 
I swear it takes more dicipline to stay out of the gym than it does to go. I've been itching all day. But I've literally laid around the house and haven't done a thing. Don't think I'll be able to take another day off though. I have to admit a day of nothing but sitting and eating does a body good

On a side note I've been on DFL tren A for 11 days at 150mg eod and I felt like I was dying on the lunges. But as far as UGL tren goes it seems to be decent.
 
Chest/bicep

Not gonna lie. My chest days have seemed to go to the shitter (well at least max strength). It may be mental and the fact I did switch a few things up as in doing incline first and more reps shorter breaks. But anyway I did flat BB first everything felt heavy as fuck.

It's been weird my endurance has been great but I made to many changes in my routine. So I'm going back to each muscle group 2x a week. Well most muscle groups 2x a week. The break down will be this for now.

Monday- legs
Tuesday- chest
Wednesday-back
Thursday- legs / arms
Friday- active rest day
Saturday-chest
Sunday- mostly shoulders/some back

I may throw a few arm workouts in on some of the days here and there. The way I did it before was heavy chest day on Tuesday and reps on Saturday. Same thing with legs. Deadlifts will be done on either Wednesday or Thursday.
