Andrewgen_Receptors' Training Log

I'm not a powerlifter and I never will be, so why would I train my powerlifts?
Because they build mass lol. Find me a dude who built a huge chest doing only pec dec or someone with huge quads that build them on the leg extension. I'm not saying ytou have to flat BB bench or BB squat but those patterns are a must.
 
Ended up training with no carbs in my system. Total accident, will slam carbs when i get home.

Abs, Calves, Quads, Hams, Low Back all showing good signs.
Getting sleep in order using 5-HTP. Sleep feels better, but waking up is harder - idk if that makes sense.
Energy has been low but I'm pushing through.
Still holding strength in the gym, though I'm watching my 2nd set strength dip noticeably.

Ngl i really didn't have much in me this session. Motivation low but my people need me.
 
I really should have stuck with cardio today but gym will be closed Thurs, so it was missing now and later or just later.

Slept like 4 hours, total zombie mode. Lowered volume significantly to compensate.

Are the presses on a smith machine or plate loaded hammer strength?

Plate loaded. I like the Smith movement a lot tbh, but it's very unfriendly with my shoulders.

Machine isn't hammer strength brand, it's like precor or cybex or something, idk. Still, similar machine.

Hammer strength will always be better in my book.

Abs and Quads showing the most progress.

Thursday was off plan for turkey day, but I was using this as my free meal.
Friday was off due to withdrawals from dropping adderall entirely (doing better now).
Saturday was still feeling out of it but had my appetite back.

Back at it, off to the gym shortly.

Next week will be weird. Friday - Tuesday I will be out of state prepping my other house for sale. I will not be able to train or stay on diet these days, but I’ll do what I can.
Feel free to drop your travel tips for sticking to difficult macros.

A little burnt out but doing okay. Strength was doing fine, it's my cardio or work capacity that's struggling.
