Worked your ass off prioritizing back, quads and hammys hitting them with everything but the kitchen sink. All those days of intensifiers were worth it.

Just the beginning with a lot left to work on.

After all that good to see i was on the right track program wise.

I think I can even do better next time around, knowing what i know now.

 

[dcdogz]

Cardio done.

And i guess my leg growth came at a cost.
Never had this before so couldn't figure it out but have a hemmroid lol.

Pretty bad too. Might have to take it easy on leg presses/ hacks tomorrow a little depending don't want to make this shit worse.

Heard they hurt i had no idea lol. Big yikes.

Hurt like a m’fer. Had to have surgery twice. Keep pushing hard and they will bulge worse. Hurt worse. Be careful with those. If you have to have surgery then you will have to take time off. Wich

Mine right at 12 o clock, i think it's thromposed.

Feels a bit better today at the gym right now and not interfering too bad so far.

It was spasming all night tho fuck that was bad. Despite that i slept good lol.

183

Puts my true weight at 178.5!

Considering the roid (not the good ones)
Did pretty well. I think it helped pushing through a little, and i don't think this happened from the gym because other then the initial rep didn't really feel any pressure or anything.
I guess I don't really clench my butt when lifting.

Adductors was hard as fuck tho lol
Just the positioning and seating was pretty bad.


Adductors
180 x 15 down 5
180 x 14

Lying curls
150 x 13 down 2
140 x 14 down 1

Leg ext

Leg press
580 x 12 same
565 x13
545 x 11 up 50lbs last week quad wasn't feeling right so dropped alot of weight. Quad felt good so tossed on a little extra weight.

Hack squat
340 x 14 up 2
337.5 x 13 up 1
335 x 12 up 2

Smith split squats
Really uncomfortable with my problem, mostly the first rep took it a little easy
225 x 10 down 10lbs
225 x 10

Overall pretty good rested a little extra in between sets and took it slow and carefully.

Cardio later! I think incline walking i don't want to sit on the bike lol

Same foods as friday

oh man great pull day so good. having trouble with the time change a little, waking up at my regular time.
hemmroid SOOO much better, no more cherry sized lump, down to an M and M size.
went to the gym early said screw it so i could have some chill time at home instead of rushing to get kids etc
worked out decently. little tired but sleep was restful enough ill be good today.

ended up being great either way got such good work in on my shoulders and chest, and with some extra time was able to rest a teeny bit more inbetween sets.

side cable laterals
33 x 15 up1
33 x 13 up 1
27.5 x 15 same

incline smith

235 x 11
220 x 11
205 x 11
same, but despite that super effective reps, i was struggling last week to hit this, and it was easier to control it today

flat machine press (crunch version, machine weighted was taken)
havent used this in awhile, but I may toss it in every so often, it felt really damn good.
wont get a ton of use out of it since im close to maxing it, but has a good resistance distribution that the plated one doesnt.
has a banding motion sorta that pulls it back hard and it just feels really good.
240 x 14
230 x 12
210 x 12

seated pec deck fly
chest was pretty smoked
190 x 13 down 1
180 x 13 same
160 x 13 same

upright row
had been swinging weight a bit so dropped a little (especially since roid was uncomfrotable with initial weight), great decision front delts are on fire right now at work
115 x 15 down 10
105 x 14 down 10

db side laterals
35 x 14
32.5 x 14
30 x 15
same

overhead triceps
88 x 15
82.5 x 14
77 x 13
same

ab roller 20 x 4

incline walking 40 min

mostly the same foods but made some adjusments so i can get my fiber in.
added in a carb tortilla, which has a ton of fiber, previously while growing didnt really have to track with all the pumpkin and oats
my fiber intake was in the 50s.

didnt really realize while cutting would be an issue, my fiber previously was 13 before these adjusments lol.
removed the sodium tracker and added fiber at the bottom. total daily fiber up to 47 and is helping tremendously.
gonna run it a bit until this thing heals up. depending how quickly heals, may have to be careful with smith squats on Wednesday but based on how it feels right now I think ill be okay.

 

[dcdogz]

btw those banderita tortillas are fckin massive for the macros

 

[lottalead]

nice you can do it. once you see that 1 in front of the scale youre gonna be off to the races! i really got motivated when i saw 199. didnt want to see anymore 2s. it had been over 15 years since i had seen a one!

excellent work!

i go with happy and then a very long walk and bitching the whole way

 

[dcdogz]

none skipped by choice. i think maybe missed 2 (weather/holiday), had maybe 3-5 scaled back due to tat and injury.

 

[dcdogz]

i started very slow, growth will come just be consistent is all. so many times i stopped early, or dropped sets here and there just because I felt off.
id rather train all weeks in the year and miss a few sets or reps then be out for awhile.

Damn Dog... I just caught up on you... IDK WTF goes on with the forum. I follow you and a number of guys here, yet every now and again it just stops sending notifications! I think it was @Bamm-bamm that I lost last!
I'm gonna unfollow, and then add you back and see whats what.

great pull session!
T bar row hitting so nasty.
hit everything great, few extra reps and maintained really well.
i might have to drop seated row a little feels like im just slinging weight around.
give it a shot on friday and see how it feels dropping weight a little.

did incline walking for 40 min, stairmaster felt a little spicy in my rear.

still feeling so much better, gonna see how ham day goes tomorrow, not sure if ill be bothered or not, I dont think so but well see.

same foods as yesterday, did screw up a tad and accidentally full scooped whey this morning, but adjusted some chicken down for lunch 2.
that meal is super filling anyway. not the worst screw up, but im glad i caught it or would have been over. realized the error as soon as I finished drinking it, I was like damn this tastes really good, ah damn was supposed to be half scoop.

feeling pretty good.

had some really good sleep as well. time change still messing with me a bit, feeling sooo tired around 7 -8 ive been just getting in bed and falling asleep past week. feels good lol.

guesstimating weight looks like im gonna be down another 1lb roughly even if i come in heavy rest of the week, more or less.
back still seems to be the thing leaning up the most, but I held a crap ton of fat there.

 

[dcdogz]

also have a tat this saturday, probably gonna hit my quads the morning of, and take my rest day sunday, with rest day calories.
at least thats the plan atm, depending how quads feel sat morning.

mine tend to get pretty crampy after Wednesday.

might work out nicely due to the roid however, depending how hard I beat my legs tomorrow.

tentative saturday food if quad day happens. ill be traveling so thats why set up oddly.
for trips I prepack all these containers with everything, pre weighed and cooked, and then just visually munch on it through out the day.
