I like this idea of training. So it looks like the loading part is heavy and pump part is lighter more reps?

This might work nice for me on this last month of my cut.

Whats up guys. Sorry for the lack of update yesterday. Went to the gym to train and they are closed for some sort of emergency repairs, which really put a damper on my day.

Ended up going to a movie and fell asleep in the theater and started snoring a few times lol. My girl had to wake me because the people in front of us kept turing turning around lol..fuck em.

Anyway so yesterday ended up being a rest day. Hoping everything is good to go today.

Think thats about it for now. Will check back later after the session.

I suppose we will get into the good,bad,and ugly... So had s couple pretty big set backs as far as diet etc goes. First ended up eating a boat load of pancakes in a contest i entered which set us back...then a couple nights ago I ended up having some drinks and woke up the next mornings a bloated mess.

Good news is we are growing well and adding size, bad news is its not all good size..so..coach has added in 20min cardio post workout until we can shed this water etc...gotta stat focused and quit fucking up.
 
Update photo from this morning.

The good thing is you are owning your slippage and obviously telling your coach the truth. Im sure many people aren't 100% honest with their coaches as they don't want to admit to slipping up. Which has to be one of the most frustrating thing for a coach... a client hiding things. A good coach can tell when client is lying or altering the truth.

See, by telling your coach the truth, he is able to adjust stuff to make up for it. Hence the extra cardio. So good on you for owning that shit and not hiding it.


Sounds like you know What you gotta do. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get the train back on the tracks.

Yes him telling me when he's had issues is something every client should do with their coach. I'm very proud of the work he's done and for getting honest. It makes results better for himself in the long run.

These pics are from Sept 3 to today so, 47 days. I'm very impressed with how much he's grown and it shows he's training his ass off.

Thanks Brother. Its never fun doing the walk of shame, but like you said I know hiding it isnt going to help the situation at all. Gotta stay honest. Appreciate you man.Fall down, get back up, fall down, get back up....

I've seen mention of competing thrown around in here.

Do you have a set date when you plan to be ready for a show? What class do you plan on being in?
Click to expand...

No we havent gotten that far ahead of ourselves yet. First we gotta build something worthy of stepping on the stage, then we will figure out the game plan.

I would not even think about stepping on stage at this point, still got ALOT of work to do and gains to make.

Probably in a year it so...we will see.
 
Alright guys, check in time.

Just got back from a good Upper Loading/Lower Pump with 20mins added cardio post workout. Was a good session and the cardio wasnt that bad lol.

Tweaked my back again in the same spot as before. Sucks because it was almost healed then bam right back yo fucked lol. But pushed through and got it done. Couldnt even get the bar off the back for for 2nd set of BB row it hurt so bad. But once I got the weight lifted it was better. Will just keep an eye on it and hope it heals again. Hurting pretty bad at the moment.

Here is how the session went though

Upper Loading/Lower Pump
Bb Row 315*10,9 (+2.5+2reps)
WLPD 160*12(+3.5reps)
Db Press 100*10,8(+4,+3 reps)
Cable Fly 75*12(+10lbs)
Uni Rev Pec Dec 165*15,15(10lbs)
Vbar Press 150*12,12(+10lbs)
Lower Pump
Calf Press 210*20,20,20
Machine Leg Press 235*20,20
Rom Squat 47.5*15
Uni Hammy Curl 100*25,25
Adducter 160*25
Curl Machine 40*20,20
20Min Treadmill

All around felt good. Time to eat.

Thanks for following along
 
Whats up fellas, just another update.

Rest day yesterday so didnt train but did a little low intensity cardio on my treadmill.

Going in tonight for Lower Loading/Upper Pump...Back is feeling pretty fucked up. Having trouble getting up from sitting and moving the wrong way is pretty painful and feela like it siezes up

Gonna hope we can still make some progress tonight and push through.

Other than that all is good. Will report back after training.
 
Update

So went in for Lower Loading Upper Pump Last night. Already knew it was gonna be iffy due to my back, its getting better today but still fucked. Anyways got under the BB for Squats and put 135 on to warm up, went down and immediately going up the pain shot in my back, so I made a judgement call that I always hate to make, but decided not to push it and rather than get even more injured and being out for long just took it easy and basically went through the motions with lighter weights and tossed a few more reps in here and there.

Hate not making progress but sometimes you just know when to pull back a hair. Resting good today and going to ice it etc and do everything I can to be ready to rock tomorrow for Upper Intensity.

Appreciate everyone following along. Will check back later

And that's the best call that you could have made, brother. Live to fight another day vs fucking yourself up for the long term.

Before and after pics are dramatic. Great job to the both of you, GT and Monte.
