Good to see you still rollin', big guy. Hope the new year really treats you better!
 
250. Started to harden up a tad this last week now that things are rolling better in training.

Upper loading. Had to switch up a couple exercises since there were a million people there.

Bb row - 365*13(+1), 335(+10)*12
Rack pull - 495*15(+3)
Incline hammer (sub for Smith) - 380*10, 360*9, 180*4*4
Seated fly DC - 130*15/9/4
Db lateral (sub for star press) - 35*15/14
Triceps press down - 90*12, 11, 9
 
Lower loading

Safety bar squat - 405*15(+3), 365(-40)*15(+5)
Seated leg press close - 230*19(+5), 16(+3)
Lying leg curl - 150*13(+2)
Adductor DC- 150*20/13/6

Yay was upper muscle rounds.

Hammer mid row - 4pps*25(+2)
Dante row - 90(+10)*26
Pull-ups - bw*4/4/4/3/2/1
Flat machine press - 310(+20)*23, 290*23
Cage press (new) - 115*24
Db lateral - 35*25(+1)
Dual bicep cable curl - 45*26(+3), 45*23

Those dang Dante rows get me every Fucking time. I keep them out because you can't use a heavy load but, I get the most brutal stretch ever from them.
 
Gotta tell you.

ole monte has really made a life change. Went from a non body builder to a BIGG and trainer. I personally went more on the path of a spiritual Guru.

If Monty and Heavyiron had a child and i mentored that child then more than likely Jesus would hold off on the second coming.

of course I need to mix in the Admin’s money.

:)

Merry Christmas

Lol. Now THAT would be a dangerous combo
 
You made a radical change man. Not that we are friends but the amount of effort and determination it took for you ?

Shit, maybe I’m over stepping.
 
Lower muscle rounds.

It's getting real when you're adding 5lbs a side to the leg press.....

Leg press high - 14+60(+10)*22(-2), 14*22
Split squat - 90*25(+2)
Lying leg curl - 90kg(+5)*23
Adductor DC - 130*18/13/8
Abductor DC - 130*17/12/7
Jm press - 90*26(+2)

Almost started adding volume this week..... Then I remembered "doing more isn't the answer usually, do what you're doing better". Truth

Upper loading. Fun fun.

Switched back to a flat press machine for chest since I pretty much maxed out the plate loaded dip machine and I'm not comfortable to do them with a weight belt given the way the station is set up. The floor is too far and the foot holds to catch yourself are too high. If I were to get stuck at the bottom of a rep I would definitely risk some injury with a few plates strapped to me.

Circled back to dumbbells for a delt set. I really like them but, getting them up is a bitch and I don't want to waste any energy. Just testing progression really.

Cybex dual axis row - 250(+20)*13(+1), 250(+20)*11(+1)
Dead stop Bb row - 275(+50)*10(-2), 225*10
Star flat press - 360*11, 8
Cable fly dc - 120*13/6/3
Db shoulder press - 85(+5)*14(-1)
Db lateral - 45(+5)*17 drop 30*12
Ez curl - 80(+20)*15(-10), 80*12

Starting in the groove. Starting to see new all time highs in strength and form is better then its been ever probably.

Ride this shit out. Just gotta keep up with the food.
 
Lower loading.

Terrible weather today so I decided to train instead of rest. I'll take tomorrow off when its nice and hopefully I can walk.

Hack - 545*12(+2), 495*10, 315*14
Single leg seated lp - 70kgx12, 11
Hs SLDL - 490*13(+2)
Adductor DC - 170*20(+1)/10(+1)4
Abductor DC - 170*20/11/5
Jm press - 90kg*12, 11

With my weight climbing in starting to get back pumps on leg day regularly. Still able to train fully but, my rest is painful between sets. No orals, just fat.

IML Gear Cream!
Those muscle round sets absolutely kill!!! Lol
Damn right.

I mentioned a kid asked me a week ago if he could train with me, well my last muscle round day for legs he was getting there right when I did so I pulled him in.

Told him what we were doing and he said "6 sets? that's it?". Yeeeep.

At the end of the session he knew why lol.

Nah. That's a rest pause set.

Muscle rounds -

Use your twelve rep max weight.

4 reps, rack, 5 five deep breaths, again, again, again, again, again (you should fail between rep 1 and 4,if not, next session you go up in weight.
