Well as a hard gainer I’m guessing that means you probably won’t have a problem staying lean, you definitely starting to get that grainy look going… I can’t wait until I can get lean enough to have that kind of definition…

Blessing and a curse

 

[samgraves82]

You know What happens to slackers don’t you..? I don’t know what it is but, the answer is on “back to the future”
I started fortitude training at birth.... or maybe I was just poor, had 10 siblings! Lol

11/29 upper load/lower pump
Let me just say off the tip, my calves were fuckin pissed when I got to the calf raises today. I purposely skipped one leg exercise because they just weren't ready but now I regret it cause they feel fine tonight, aside from gd calves . It won't happen again tho!! Caught myself by surprise a couple times today doing bb rows and rack pulls. I thought, with 12 being top of rep range, 405 would be plenty bit at rep 15 my lungs collapsed I'm pretty sure. I looked back at old logs and hell I pulled 500 for 12 during prep so I'll start with that next week and see what happens.

BB rows
225×12
245×11(dunno how the hell I got 11 more reps. Not uncommon to get "stronger" on 2nd set but I figured 8 at best. IT MUST BE THE GOLDLINE INJECTABLE ANANDROL

RACK PULL (BELOW THE KNEE. LOWEST HOLE ON RACK )
405×12

FLAT DB PRESS(you've seen me get plenty more reps but not with this tempo)
100S×10/7

DB PRESS
60×12/9

LOWER PUMP
LEG EXT/SEATED HAM CURL SUOER SET
25/20
30/25

12/1 lower loading/upper pump
I was supposed to do 2 sets of squats but an argument sort of happened and my head was elsewhere so I didn't do it so I didn't hurt myself. I'm still a bit paranoid about my back.

Squat
335×8

Leg press low and close (in hind sight should've made that lost set up here)
5 pps +10lbs × 14

Smith stiff leg deadlift
225×12

Adductors/abductor super set
120×12/120×12(the abductor hurt my hips for some reason)

UPPER PUMP
machine pulldown SS w/ pec deck
120×22/20
75×23/20

Machine preacher SS w/ rope pressdown
40×20
60×25

12/3 upper muscle rounds
Last exercise was supposed to be skull crushers but I was already running late so just grabbed a cable and pumped the shit outta Tris real quick

 

[samgraves82]

12/4 lower muscle rounds
Hot damn the pendulum squat murdered me took me 6-8 mins to finally get back on my feet. Also, just couldn't get what I wanted out of hammer preacher curls so added some DB curls in since had the time. I'm fine doing preachers with a low cable but free weight just messes with my elbow/arm too much.
