LOG: BACK TO BARBELL BASICS

4/29 push C
Had a good session as far as pump goes but pressing strength was down tho. -2 reps on both smith press sets. Tris was ok and shoulders was good. Didn't write down 2 exercises. I was just tryna concentrate tbh. The smith press was 135 rest pause set.

The physique is looking good for 6.5 weeks out tho.

5/1 pull C
Man the chest supported row has been calling my name for weeks now and I finally caved and went to the other gym on train at and used it. WTF have I been thinking skipping that. I know I love it. When the old one broke, I just stopped going over there even when they got the new one. I'll be doing that from now on instead of Smith rows 2 workouts in a row.
The workout was good although pump could've been better. It's like the back was firing great but the pump just wasn't holding. Prep problems I guess

There's hardly any good lighting accessable at this place tho unfortunately
I dunno, after looking at these pix, maybe pump was better than I thought

Push C 5/4/26
Had a pretty good session. Pressing strength is still going the wrong way a little bit but that always happens in prep. Since I added the orals and tren in maybe that'll help it level off. Coach looked back and I'm about 15lbs heavier than I was last year at 5 weeks out so that's cool af. Just hope it holds and translates to stage. So we'll see

5/9 push day
I thought I was just 1 day behind but damn I'm 3 workout behind. Just more of the same for the most part. Getting leaner and pushing as hard as possible. This prep has gotten rough even tho I'm still eating plenty. I did hurt my knee a little yesterday on the hack squat and couldn't even finish them. Gonna get an X-ray tomorrow just to be safe. It's not swollen and walking is ok but any squat or push motion hurts pretty good.
Just for fatigue purposes , got rid of rack pulls this week and put in cable rows. Also, today used a barbell cause the smith was taken and was not waiting that long. Could've used the hammer store but wanted to keep it as close to same as possible. Didn't go crazy with it either just to be safe. Gotta nice session in tho. Titties and tris cramping like any other day for what that's worth. Heres the workouts and will update pix tomorrow
