No training today.

Cardio got pulled down a lot from what I was doing this last week.

Went from 30 minutes a day to 20 minutes 3x a week. Fine with me. Only reason I was doing it was to tan lol.

Grinding along again. We've got tens of pounds of muscle to add.

Fuck no. Pile of shit. Just got rid of it, would have been more then it's worth to fix it.

Keeping petty tight. Body weight is holding around 228-230 in the mornings. Updates sent today so I'm guessing I'll get a food increase.

So overall diet will stay where it's at but, 2x a week I'll have a meal of whatever I want.

No limits put on these meals but, knowing me, it'll be high calorie "cleaner" meals. Maybe a burger and fries but, sushi, steaks and potatoes, even sea food or Italian will probably be the go to goodies.

Sushi, I do plain sushi as in fish on top of rice. No rolls typically.

As big of a steak that the place has with loaded baked or sweet potato and two salads.

Grilled, broiled, baked fish and rice or potato.

Chicken or steak with pasta.

The key is just staying away from the bread and fried shit during these meals. No value in those foods when calories are already high so I normally avoid them or have few. No fried shit ever.

Bread....... I did have like 6 rolls from Texas Roadhouse last week lol. Can't always be perfect

Since the show you really kept your conditioning well...bet you wish you can walk right on stage now lol.

Lower muscle rounds today.

Felt good.

My knee that was bothering me, left, seems to have gotten much better but, we'll see as loads get heavier and my strength is back to normal.

Focusing on the rep is making a difference here since I'm not using as much weight but, I gotta keep in the mindset to beat the log book with static form. Can't change it.

Seated hamstring curl - warmup, 4 sets working up to 70% 15 rep max or so. I dunno how to describe it lol. Just a touch of burn? Let's go with that.

Leg press Mid Stance - 12 plates *27, 12*22
Split squat on squat machine - 70*24
Lying leg curl - 60kg*25
Standing calf raise holding stretch - 60kg*26, 60*23
Ez bar curl - 70*26
Ab machine - 140*25

Those Fucking split squats were AWFUL. Felt that shit all the way through my quad to hamstring to glute to lower back lol. I like it! Those are going to be a new staple.

Weights increase next rotation. I like seeing that.

Will continue to pound out this training blast to get strength back up and then, I'll move up a tier in volume possibly. Probably not since I haven't done lower pump in ages but, might.

 

[Montego]

Off training today.

Sent out my split for coach to look over and see if I'm neglecting anything or he's got alternatives to exercises I'm already using.

Sometimes you can get a bit complacent with your own training so it's always a good idea to have anther set of eyes.

I did change out some things from the prep to now. Going to use a little bit more db work for chest and shoulders. I've stuck with machines since I don't have the little nagging pains with them.

Also moved back to db rows instead of the chest supported t bar machine. Mainly because our chest supported t bar machine was gotten rid of and the new one is terrible.

Doing split squats on a machine now as I noted Yday. Felt the movement better this way.

That's about it.

Work tonight then train tomorrow. Upper loading lower pump

 

[Montego]

Upper loading/lower pump

Felt pretty good. Gassed hard though. Back being first in my rotation sucks the energy right out of me so, I might switch chest and back to first body part week to week.

Bb rows - 365*12, 365*9 back off 315*11
Snatch grip rack pull - 405*12
Incline db - (way too light but I haven't done them in a bit) 110*15, 110*12 B/O 80*15
Db Shoulder Press - (same here) 65*18, 65*15
Seated laterals - 30*18

Pump stuff was 25-30 reps to failure however I needed to get to failure. Slow eccentric, half reps, whatever. These weights aren't tracked since the method to get to failure changes a lot.

Wide high leg press 2 sets
Seated curl 1 set SS Knee extension 1 set
Calf Raise 1 set

Post Workout

1c oats
16oz Whites

Cinnamon, sweet and low, lots of pink saly

This is my oatmeal bowl btw. Holds a bunch lol

 

[Montego]

Couple from today

12oz Whites
1c oats
Cinnamon
Pb Fit - this shit is Fucking garbage! Who really enjoys this stuff? I got a couple small single serving packs to try, not that I would use it, just wanted to see what they hype was and, thank God I didn't get a big tub. If you want pb, just eat natural pb. I don't care what the macros are, it's not that big of a deal


250g chicken
225g rice
Buffalo sauce (the low fat no sugar one)

I would post more food pics but, it's all the same shit every day, just more or less of it.

 

[Multislacking]

PBfit is really only good as an ingredient imo. Like adding it to your shake or something. Been a few years since I used it though, so they might have changed their formula. Pretty sure I have a jar in the pantry that is probably a solid mass now.

Thanks, Monte. The pbfit topic caused me to clean out the pantry a bit today. My pbfit was only 5yrs past expiration. Still kinda powdery but smelled like death.

Now if I could only throw away those canned pickles that were a gift from someone who is no longer here... Maybe in another 10yrs the wife will be ready to part with them.

Gotta love True Nutrition! I have been using Super Beets from humann for a couple years. Almost out. Gonna try TN's beet powder. 4 Tbsp? Is that a standard dose? Or super dose lol

2 tbsp is a common dose intra or pre training.

My intra is half a gallon and I drink the entire thing during training though so, about the same.

You can also choose your flavor for the beet root. I think it's like $8 for a lb.

If you use the code Montypesto at Truenutrition.com it'll get you 5% off
