I am currently following the Cube Method it's a 6 week cycle basically of 3 major lifts. And one "body builder" day. Here is my spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqGW_VbJoxQqdE44a1h6Rld5S2FDbDI3TW53aEtOX1E&usp=sharing I'm trying to structure my training days a little better and nail down a solid schedule. Mind you for cardio is managed by Diezel and I do it as my warm up. I also have a really fucked up sleep schedule currently. I try to get in bed by 10-11pm. I wake up at 4:30, hit the gym by 5:00-30 depending on how I prepped the night before. I'll do my cardio, then lift for the time I have remaining depending on if I will get breakfast or brought it after. Normally my main lifts don't take long at all, and I'll just do basic accessory stuff. I go to the gym after work just to kill time since traffic is a 2 hour endeavor anytime before 8pm I get off at 5. So I normally don't rush through training sessions, spend plenty of time stretching Deadlifts: Leg Press Hamstring Curls Calf Raises Hack Squat Lunges or Behind the neck Pull Downs Pendlays 3x10 with 30 second rest. Kroc Rows 8-10x3-5 depending on time Shoulder Flys Shrugs or Bicep Curl workout 10-12x5 Wide Grip Cable Curls Supinated Alt Curls Hammer Curls Close Grip Preacher Curls all done with fat grips. Squats: Leg Press 5x15 never really heavy just to stretch out the hamstrings and get blood in them. or Front squats (just doubles or triples, light as well) hack squat lunges calves seated leg extensions lying leg curls Bench: Incline Bench or smith or dumb bells Decline Bench or smith or dumb bells dips either 5x5 or 5x8 never weighted DB flys or incline flies rarely decline flies. Pec Dec or Cable Flies, sometimes both with something else in between. Pull overs. or Tricep Work, the bread and butter shit. Lots of things John Meadows recommends I like to try out. His Tricep Finisher and rear shoulder fly drop sets are life enders, especially that push up workout on a smith rack. http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmSEdfW3LpEKyLiCDWBDdVQ On Bodybuilder day I normally will do abs standing cable pull downs hanging leg to bar raises crunches on one of those bouncy balls and side crunches with a leg raise I also started to do a seated twist with an empty curl bar on my back recommended by Daniel Kory, but I just feel stupid doing it. Or I will do a Push day that focuses on shoulders, barbell press, arnold press, alternating press, flies, pull ups, front raises. Shit like that. I mix in other little things here and there but I really have no structure. I just do what I feel like I have the energy for after the main lifts and the cardio. I never really do any of the main lifts on certain days either, again it's really what I'm in the mood for and what my body says. Today I felt like squatting, didn't follow programming since I didn't have time, just did some warm ups 10x135 and then 5x225 and built up to 5x290 by the 5th set. Had time for some calf raises and then I'll spend my lunch break hitting the rest of my accessory work at the gym on site. I'll probably go back in after work and knock abs out since I should be doing that more. 4 days out of 7 I am doing a ton of volume. The other 3 I just dick around so I'm doing something, always have tons of energy. If anyone has any recommendations for a split or how you'd utilize your time I'd love to hear it. As far as main lifts go, I believe 2 weeks from now I am to have a mock meet and try to set new pr's on my 3 main lifts which will program new training maxes to train off of. I can tell you for sure my strength especially core strength has greatly improved doing the cube method, and it is not WIPING ME OUT like 5/3/1 is, that shit has a mofo wishing for a deload week. Almost hit 225 unassisted on incline last week but the bench has no safety net, so I didn't want to push it. I hit 215 for a paused triple but it damn near was a paused 2 and a half LOL. If you want to start a shitfest go somewhere else. If you want to give input on a steady push/pull so I can consistently train at least 6 days a week I'm all ears. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Here's what I do for 6 days a week: M - Push/Pull Upper Body Volume T - Deadlifts, Front Squats, accessory W - Push/Pull Upper Body Volume Tr - Squats, accessory F - Upper Body Strength Push/Pull (main lifts are 5 rep sets with a 2 sec pause after the concentric portion to take the momentum out of the lift) Su - Upper Body Heavy Push/Pull (3 rep sets) If you want deeeets, let me know. |

The conservative macro's he had me on kept me at a constant fluctuating 189-192 so I gave him the go ahead to get more aggressive. Visually there were changes, but one off day not even by a huge margin kept bringing me back into 192. Thanksgiving didn't help, but that was on me. Most of that is off now, and I expect to be in the 180's by the weekends end. |

Today was a heavy day on deadlifts. finally. my back felt good, got my 400 cals in on the stair master, did some light stretching and some warm up sets with the bar and 135, did doubles from there on up 135, 225, 285, 315. todays training was 385x1, 400x1, and 410x1 I ended up doing 385x1, 405x1, 425x1 all of them felt like the same weight so I jumped from 425 to 455 http://instagram.com/p/iG4DkFCziC/ it says to go up and try a max if you feel good but don't miss. I tried for 465 and got it up to my knee's no problem but I didn't want to push it since I already hit 455 which is a 4lb pr and I didn't sprain my back in the process this time lol. did some accessory work with the time I had left before work and lunch time I will hit back and shoulders. Not a bad day so far after having a flash flu on Monday. Excited in 2 weeks as I finally get to have a little mini meet and see where I made gains on this program. hoping for 470 on dead, 365 on squat and 240 on bench. |

Shitty day... tried for max attempt on squats, my head wasn't in it. Gym was packed, rack was a little funny for me. Lots of things to work on, I think I would've had 350 if I didn't get thirsty and shoot for 355 and fried my cns. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiH-GJCdk6g eh whatever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I tried to go for max bench today, I really wanted 240... 225 felt good, went for 240 and fucking got stuck half way. Most people can't get it off of their chest when they fail a lift. For me I got caught at the sticking point, similar to the second rep in this instagram video. http://instagram.com/p/jA9NemD89r/ |

Welcome to getting old. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
How old are you? I figured you were within 4-5 years of me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
37 I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Ah, well then you're 9 years older than me. Def not "old" though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Tell me that in 9 years. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
you'll definitely be old in 9 more years lol. |
||||||||

My Back has eaten itself in the last 6 years. I'm 34. 137, you can bench so much more than that so quickly. |

I wouldn't go that far, I normally never have a spot with me and nowhere safe to bench. So I just don't do that much bench. I've trying to do a lot more with my new supplemental work, but don't think I'm disappointed with my bench numbers at all. I'm still on a slow deficit so any pr to me at this point is a good pr. I'm not going to be throwing up any huge jumps as long as I'm cutting. |

Originally Posted By: Artomantium So like....10% in the next 5 years or is this a 10 year plan? Slow and steady Art, as long as things keep moving in this direction I imagine I'll be in the low 180's in the next 8 weeks and maintaining pretty much all of the mass I have. Which is the goal, in no rush to get to the number. You already know that. |

Still working with Cory, the burger definitely is at the threshold of things. everything else fits. macros suck right now, will get suckier once I make it to the 180's I imagine. posting blarg update in a sec okay took longer than a second http://roadtotenpercent.blogspot.com/2014/01/i-dont-know-what-to-title-this.html |

It seems for the past few years, you've been so worried about losing an ounce of muscle that it's gotten in the way of you losing weight. I guess you could look at it like video games. I don't want a new set of gear if it's going to lower my stats. I'm not going to the gym to bust my ass to be weaker. Everyone has a different goal in the gym, some people use it as a supplement, some people like to maintain or speed along their weight loss by high reps low weight or whatever the fuck. I like to go in and fuck shit up... When I did the paleo challenge in 2012 and dropped 30lbs in 2 months, a LOT of that was mass, and every bit of progress I made on my lifts went kaput. Now if you look at it from the perspective "well you can just cut, have a six pack, and diet your way back up in weight." Maybe if I had your metabolism, eating schedule, etc, etc. It's clear I was destined to be a fat fuck, I get fat breathing air. At 1700cals daily after 2000-2200 calories of cardio I'm still slowly re-comping. What makes ANYONE think I could just "bulk" and not get insta-tits in 3 weeks... when they obviously see I'm barely eating the same amt of food anyone who posts in here is, that I wouldn't just get fat again super fast. Art can cry about me giving advice and not having a six pack, and gamby giving input and not having a six pack. pretty much anyone that doesn't have a six pack giving advice is a fucking idiot. I don't care who can or cant have a valid input on lifting and training and nutrition based on looks. I am not interested in bro-ing down to show conditioning for any reason what so ever, not interested in mood swings, or experiencing impotence or loss of sex drive because I want to be peeled. I'm also not ranting at you, but I just don't see why if I'm reporting progress, it's not good enough or not fast enough for everyone else? That's what this forum is for, that's why I'm posting. that is all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I know you're not ranting at me. And I understand about not wanting to get weaker. I'm not complaining about the speed at which you're losing. I just feel like your single-minded focus on not losing muscle mass is hindering your fat loss goal. I dunno. I just feel like maybe your defeatist attitude (ie destined to be a fat fuck) would be turned around when you realize your goal, regardless of how much your lifts went down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
You should change the name of your blog because IIRC, that was the goal when you started working with Diezel. |

Here's the cold hard facts, again. You've never been in shape. Not once. You really don't lift *that* much dude. I mean c'mon, you can bench 225 like once, you squat 3#s and dead 4#s, I mean, congrats but I was doing that out of highschool. That's really not impressive. It's certainly not impressive enough to be an excuse. It's not like you're some really strong/big powerlifter who really doesn't want to lose gains, dude, you're a chubby average guy with half decent strength. Let's be honest here. That is what annoys me the most. You'd love to actually be big and ripped but you won't be because you make fucking excuses about every single thing. |

Other than that, which isn't something you can overcome, you have no reason you can't. You're far more into lifting and "fitness" than I am. I'm simple, I mind my diet and tweek where appropriate and lift and run. I don't have videos, blogs, coaches, etc. The only thing stopping you is yourself. |

The strongest I've ever been has also been the lightest I've been as an adult. Now I was still carrying a bunch of weight compared to "yous" guys but I don't think weight loss and maintaining strength are mutually exclusive. Especially at the strength levels we are talking about here. Art and Silock and Diezel are absolutely great knowledgeable members on this topic. To argue with them for the sake of doing so, which is whats happening is frustrating to watch. Either way, keep working hard 137! |

Keep wasting your money on useless garbage that does nothing for you doe. Looks like its working great! You totally understand muscle physiology and training. many muscles ,so shredded, much amaze |
||||||||
|
|

Yet you know everything and nobody has any idea of what your condition/training/nutrition looks like. But we all know you know everything and are more than ready to fire off that advice ALL DAY. you're the joke in this instance dude. I'll keep taking my re-packaged milk thistle. I'll keep making gains. You keep making +1's on your post counts. |

How has your gainz / body comp come along so far while following Diezel's plan? I haven't seen pics or really kept up. The FF has been slow in general. I can't look for myself. Wouldn't look right scanning pics of men in undies while at the office |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
what I do or look like is irrelevant, though Ive posted plenty of pics and even mentioned routines. Thats a tired troll topic. Find something new. I dont need to post weekly pics in order to keep my e-cred up. I thought I dont post up any advice? Now I post it all day? Make up your mind. This is (one of your many) threads with you spamming us with your hideous blog. Youve been lifting and being fat for ages now and you still havent made any progress on lifts or very much fat loss. Youve been floating more or less in the same window for so long now. You start to make some fat loss progress but then something gets in your way and you balloon back up. We have all supported you(including me) at some point along your roller coaster of mediocrity encouraging you, but you then turn around and insult everybody. You ask for advice or opinions and you turn to your typical attention whore drama queen ad hominem attacks on whoever is the flavour of the day. You keep up this lame excuse about losing strength and boners if you try to cut weight. No one is suggesting a drastic cut in calories such that your strength will fall off, nor will you ever get down to a peeled no boner level(under 7%). Even at 12% you would look a million times better, and feel better in a number of ways. Its well known biogro is the same old bs thats been re marketed for decades(colostrum). You did ask for clarification(lmgtfy works well doe) but you had to stick in some irrelevant ad hominem and be the typical pos you try so hard to be. |

You lost some weight. Good. You have a shit ton more fat to lose though, like always. Also, your blog states those are post-gym pics. So, the gains I see is you've lost a cup size and some back rolls. This is good but, you're nowhere near "big" or "jacked" or even in shape. It's time to get out of your own way. |

I just want you to get lean and strong and then we can mess with all these different techniques and methods. Get lean. You'll be taken much more seriously. |

Weather I'm taken seriously or not is hardly a concern here. I offer advice on things, take it with a grain of salt. not all of us can run for a bit slam beer and lift heavy, be over 6 foot and lean you goof |

I'm 219 pounds today, as I've been "cutting" for a few weeks. I'll go to 215 then up it and this summer I'll be a really lean, really jacked, 218-220 pounds. It works |

ever thought about the Sling Shot or something similar? That bench is CRAZY weak. |

Originally Posted By: WB2 ever thought about the Sling Shot or something similar? That bench is CRAZY weak. Yeah I bought one, I do overloads with it on the weekends and it's actually part of my lifting program. There just isn't any point putting it on for anything under 200lbs that doesn't require like 12 reps. I did 245 for 3 this weekend with it. I definitely feel it since it really helps you get if off of your chest and to that sticking point and from there it's all you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Me personally, if i were you, would NOT be doing 12 reps of bench. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
all depends on where in the cycle he is. volume definitely has its place in getting stronger. Its hard to grow your max bench without a spotter though imo, unless you have a nice rack set up with hooks. |
||||||||

Quote: Most people can't get it off of their chest when they fail a lift. For me I got caught at the sticking point Anytime I fail a bench lift that's how I fail too. I have really long arms though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I never fail off the chest. It's always at the top FMTriceps |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I fail middle. Sometimes I sit there for 5 seconds and about 1/3 of the time, I can power through. |

Originally Posted By: Impulsive Your back get sore with that many sets? Not at all, it's the reps day that normally fills my erectors with blood.

I mean, I don't even want to hate here as you're doing good things for yourself and you have enthusiasm, but what is this shit? Neither your workout nor your physique is "of note," so.......video blog every single fucking set you do? What's the motivation? "Look how many dead sets this light skinned low rent lookin' Rick Ross motherfucker is doing today! Goddamn he mad at them weights son!" You seem like average Joe taking this shit a little too seriously, throwing out 'erector muscles' and can't find 1st gear with your diet over a millennia. That gut is fucking ponderous at this level of attention seeking behavior. Fuck. I'm going back to OT. |

Sorry I don't post about how my wife has me in the doghouse or how many other meaningless things are posted like when to take in protein and shit like that. If there is one thing I like to do and am particularly good at it's lifting weights. I film myself lifting weights for the following. 1. I don't have anyone watching my movements to see what adjustments need to be made if any. 2. To keep a record of my progress. Why do you take pictures of your kids? Why do you take pictures of loved ones, why do you use camera's and media devices? Quote: You seem like average Joe taking this shit a little too seriously, throwing out 'erector muscles' and can't find 1st gear with your diet over a millennia. That's quite funny. Can you post a picture of your supermodel body again and your lifts for comparison. I am an average joe, I take what I do in the gym very seriously, and throwing out erector muscles is exactly that. Someone asked a question, I answered it. Whats the problem with that? Quote: That gut is fucking ponderous at this level of attention seeking behavior. That same gut consumed everything you see here before the weight lifting session. lol yeah, go look up what an inzer belt does to someones torso and get back to me. Quote: Fuck. I'm going back to OT. Good, you should stay there. You really have no business in here anyway. |

The thing is, you have an awful lot of time and footage and charts dedicated to this yet your results are really lacking. A 400# deadlift isn't really impressive bro dog. I'd be impressed if you lifted like you do now and shed all that fat for once. Let's not pretend you don't want to look jacked too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
and I mean come on, you're doing 195 pound bench press with a bench shirt/device on. C'mon dog. Something is lacking in your approach to this. |

I will be the first to admit that saturday and sunday I normally am not as strict and it's been a setback, so I've forced myself into spending sunday afternoon meal prepping for the week so shit is brainless and I can consistently eat what I've prepared without getting bored of it. 10-15g of fiber for every 1000 calories as well to make sure I hit that goal daily, while not required. I think that was the most challenging aspect to hit fiber while being "flexible" So I expect some desirable body comp results for the next 6 weeks as long as I stay the course. |

Keep that up with minimal slipups and the results will come. Yes, it's boring and monotonous....but fuck it. 90 days of that will yield great results. Btw, how did you cook the tilapia? Just bake? It stinks up my apartment so I kinda gave up on fish for meal prepping. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I bought a cast iron skillet, it's how you prep the fish. I pretty much just rub it down with flake salt, some cajun seasoning, and pepper. once everything is on the skillet, squeeze out 1-2 limes worth of juice, and then zest with the limes. oven should be pre-heated to 375 takes about 11-12min, once you package the food let it cool before you cover it up otherwise it will continue to cook due to steam and will give that stank ass fish smell. re-heating you can microwave in 30 second intervals or you can use a toaster oven (my prefered method) set it to around 280 and reheat for about 18min Since I can set it and forget it, go back to work. Never stanks! got the idea from here http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/bobbys-baked-tilapia-recipe.html I also tried with the butter the first time. real velvety! |

So much hate! I follow on IG but dont really watch much of the videos. But i will say this time around i personally have noticed the changes. I think hes on the right path for once. Even if he is slipping in some delicious treats. Which i also do. I.e. a whole box of teddy grams. |

I didn't say you were hating, it was more the cali weather vs snow weather jokes lol. yes 70% is freezing here. |

Originally Posted By: Artomantium Good stuff You should really switch to decline for awhile though so you can get your numbers up I did some decline today, ended up getting 225 for a double without my slanger on. I definitely need to get that in a bit more, especially dumbbell work to help with the wicked strength imbalances. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Decline is great for breaking plateaus. Once you're doing solid sets of 3-5 @ 275 on decline you should be repping 225 flat no issues Another thing, is extended triples at heavy weight. 225x3 for 10 sets. I think you might be pretty close to that right now. But keep at what ur doing cause ur def improving your bench. Those things I said helped me break the 3 plate plateau I had back in college |

BUNCH OF CRAZY ASS MOTHERFUCKERS UP IN HERE. How do you not just overheat like crazy? I'd workout naked if I could. Such hot. Most sweaty. So passing out. My gym's heat went out in the middle of winter a couple of years ago, and it was about 40 degrees inside the gym. Wearing shorts and a cut off t-shirt, I was still sweating my ass off 15 minutes into my workout. I guess I just heat up and stay warm for a long time. Besides, working out while it's hot is detrimental to your work output. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I normally have compression pants and a long sleeve on, so it's already wicking sweat from me. |

I mostly work out around sunset so it's nice and cool. Talking about regular lifts, olympic, power. So don't get a whole lot a sweat going. So for those times I love wearing sweat pants. |

After this winter I feel like my body has been weakened to the effects of cold. I did chest today with sweats on. |

The second cycle of the cube method has been completed, I will test for maxes on Saturday and am currently building my new spreadsheet right now with my training program for the next cycle. I am shooting for a conservative 470 on deadlift, will try for 400 on squat, and will also attempt 245 again on bench. http://roadtotenpercent.blogspot.com/2014/03/cube-method-cycle-2-complete-check-in.html wish me luck, or failure. Diet has been on point these last three weeks, finally going to be steady in the 180's for a week now that I've eliminated any influence I previously had in my diet aka ditching my fat training partner. |

snapped my shit up in the opposite direction, have an abdominal strain from deadlifting... that'll learn ya. http://youtu.be/yIBXBgpzaFs |

How bad? Light rest, then recover? I've been a roller coaster of minor shit lately. A month back, pretty sore back from DL over 400 for reps. I rested it, then went to reasonable heavy on the squats and that aggravated it a bit. It's mostly gone. I have been working my bench up since my surgery and was able to rep almost near what I did pre-surgery. Then, two days later, I'm sitting at work and my shoulder just gets sore as fuck and I was definitely weaker/affected a bit this last week. So I took it a bit easy and now my knee feels like it was hyperextended after running stairs and my run yesterday was one of the worst ever. Ah well, it's at least minor shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
coughing hurts. pain area is way too close to my heart so I can't use my marc pro on the area to help with recovery. basically can't do anything without a weight belt on that requires me to tilt more than 45-90 degree's. luckily last two days are squats, and my clean day which I haven't posted the video for yet. but it was a shit show. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Maybe take a rest bro. Your body might be talking to you. |

It was also 90 degrees in the gym. I lost one shirt at a time. But mainly I said "BETA HARDER THAN ME" and tagged him in the vid of me doing the clothed deadlifts. Quote: Hex deads are fun. I should do them more often. It's good to keep your core out of it, focus more on legs, more like a manual leg press. Especially at a deficit. And Lewis, it won't happen again, trust me lol. |

I made a recent post on my blog talking about slowly taking up a caloric surplus. I guess when not logging in your food for a few days then sitting down to do it really puts things in perspective how fast you can let things get out of hand. I've been having issues with recovery from workouts in general and have realized the programming I'm following really doesn't mesh too well with cutting calories. Which isn't a big deal. I have 4 weeks left in my program right now, and I'm just going to slowly add in calories back into my diet and also do maintenance cardio so I don't fucking bloat out of anywhere. After that 4 weeks is up I most likely will be consulting a powerbuilder coach to determine what the best approach for my goals of building strength while recomping are. Cory's helped me out for the past 35 weeks with this and I've made great progress with my recomposition, and I don't want to throw the work he's done away granted if I was a lot stricter I could've made more progress in that regard. I'm not unhappy with where I am now at all. http://roadtotenpercent.blogspot.com/2014/05/sup-strangers-whats-been-going-on-with.html |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Good luck, man. You have definitely progressed. This long term stuff is why I hate slowly cutting calories. It takes so much focus and mental dedication that it's easy to get tired of it after a while and slip up. I'd rather just do something severe and focused and get back to eating normally as soon as possible. |

As long as I am able to build lean mass, while maintaining recomp, and then diet back down again. It's no different than adding clay to a nice vase and continuing to shape it as I please. In short, it's a good thing I do what I want for me, and not you. |

So, how are your lifts doing? |

Which is actually a bit more challenging than I thought, no different really than trying to show up and lift shit with a semi set goal, but still based off of how you're feeling. I feel a lot stronger on bench, squats feel iffy but deadlifts also feel like they're staring to see some movement, so hopefully I'll be able to break 500 there pretty soon, shooting for at least 420-430 on squats and hopefully 250 on bench. |

ib4 faggot shut the fuck up you have tits omg I dunk basketballs and won the homecomming game.... So a few months back, I think it was May I was around 183, this was as lean as I got before I started to plateau in the gym. We've seen this multiple times... I've signed up with a coach to handle my nutrition and programming for 15 weeks and it will go beyond that. Really focusing on base building and really getting my strength up through RPE and a whole bunch of fancy terms I don't really know. You may know, auto-regulation. So I bench twice a week, Squat twice a week, and deadlift twice a week. The second lift variation is always a paused movement. I also am doing 0 cardio right now, the focus of nutrition is to raise my BMR, gaintain so maintain a 198-205ish weight so when I go to cut for a meet it's not a drastic 30-40lb cut to get to whatever weightclass. You'll probably skip all this shit, I'm making it too complicated, I'm fat and should eat 1300 calories, tilapia, brocolli, and kale juice for pumps and vascularity building. This was taken this morning, I'm averaging around 204lbs, I was sitting at 200 but ever since a beer pong weekend for 4th of july I've been struggling to shake off that beer weight so we cut some carbs until I even out. And most likely will kick it back up once I'm down to 200. I'm not physically happy about the weight, I know it has it's purpose for the weight I want to move. I have about 7 more weeks on this training cycle and then I test maxes. I think 415-420lbs or maybe even more on squats about 500 or slightly more on deadlifts and I'm hoping for 265-270lbs on bench. bench press * deadlifts : http://youtu.be/CFaY2xuesDA overhead press * squats : http://youtu.be/aJOHHEvXRQk I'm currently walking the walk, putting up a picket fence, eating broccoli, and carrots, feel strong, kale in my blood. |

Also who are you really angry at? Are you angry with me, a guy you've never and most likely will never meet or are you angry with yourself? |

Are you still doing the body scan thing? |

Because my DEXA scan and BodPod scan gave exactly the same results, I'd rather go with the $15 BodPod scan from my local university. I wonder how much variance there is between an InBody and DEXA and BodPod. |

I don't think you need to get fat to get stronger. More to the point, I don't think getting fat is worth it our makes a big enough difference. Also your canned underwear model line stinks. Rethink that position. I don't to be a model either but I certainly don't want to be fat |

I feel a lot of people underthink stuff, and rely on broscience and genetics to get them through their goals. Nobody just ups and does powerlifting, it requires a specific approach and no two individuals are the same. Quote: It seems crazy to me to do that to bench 250 and squat 400lbs. How is that crazy to anyone? I've never had a strong bench, it would be crazy to me if Art could also squat 400lbs to depth with his incredible bench or deadlift more than 450lbs. Same goes for anyone else who says they put up any particular numbers and has no physical proof of such. I've tried basic base building for bench, stupid accessories, and I've come to the realization through trial and error that the only way to bench more is to BENCH MORE. I currently am benching twice a week now, tons of volume all auto regulated some days it's more, some days it's less but still same reps and sets. Close Grip, all Paused as if I was at a competition. It's inching it's way up to 300 finally, but I have a long way to go. I also have a slight rotator cuff issue with my left shoulder, it likes to come out of the socket at a particular angle.. and that's the horizontal bench angle. LOL EXAMPLE Quote: I'm sure this sounds negative but it isn't meant to be. I'm on your side hoss. I want you to be awesomesauce and 183 you is almost full rico suave. And I hate to sound defensive, everyone is very dismissive like they're walking greek gods, nobody is talking about their downtime, but they sure are talking and posting a lot when it's chisel season. I've advised my coach that I have no desire to compete at 198, which is why I'm being captive at this weight, so we will begin a taper to move it back down to 181. That's really all I'm going to post about rico suaveness, road to 10 percent is the name of the blog and it's still a goal, just not what my focus is currently. |

I don't list my max lifts anymore either, it's been too long since I've even attempted a true 1rm in the big 3. |

My wagon has child locks. Fucking impossible to fall off of completely. |

Yep. I was running in a girdle after hernia surgery and running in a sling asset shoulder surgery doing split squats. After being too heavy, I don't want to go back. |

I love when Wayne is so mad at himself he has to lash out and me and others on this forum. Yeah, I can't possibly squat 405 pounds or dead lift a measly 450. That must be the secret I've been hiding these 10 years since the Fitness thread. Please dude, I was doing that in freshman year of college. Yes Wayne, the big secret is out, we all only post when it's "chisel season" and not during our "downtime", that's the big conspiracy. It can't possibly be that we actually enjoy working out, and we know proper nutrition and we've been doing it so long. You're right. I'm not ripped right now as I type this. It's like your last rant, last time you yo-yo'd, omg I'm an Al Bundy talking about the old days I've posted pics for a decade. A solid fucking decade, you're not going to catch me slipping bro. I'm jacked, I workout, I eat right, I know what I'm doing. You're mad at yourself because you've never in the past 10 years of talk even lost your bitch tits. Now you're a "powerlifter" yet your blog is titled "the road to ten percent". Bro, this just in, YOU'RE NOT THAT STRONG. Like, at all. You're not a powerlifter. |

Old age? I'm 35. Call me old when I look it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I'm 35 too!!! HUGS I also look better than I did at 25 imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I look far better at 39 than I did at 25. I mean I'm still ugly, but physically I'm wayyyy hotter. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I was a bit stronger at 25 than now, but 40 pounds heavier. I wish I would have known then what I know now. Lots of years working pretty hard and even eating fairly clean only to realize it was all about portion control. |

Do you have a workout partner? I had never been able to bench very much, but that's because I always worked out by myself. I could do like 10 reps of 135 and struggle like hell to get one rep of 225. I started going to the gym with some guys at work and lifting heavy for about 2 days per week. Now I can do 225 like it was 135. Having another guy there so I could lift heavy and go to failure everytime = Gains City. I am shocked how much stronger I got in maybe 4 months. |

Wayne lol at "dieting"... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
=( I got put on poverty macros, but I told my coach there is no fucking way I'm trying to compete at 198. I don't even lift as much as him, so back to 180 I go. Should be interesting to see what squat gains I made, that's going to be the shittiest lift day of them all. Back is super tight in my rhomboids most likely from the paused work on sunday so I'm going to take today off. Managed to bench 200 for 9 reps yesterday which has me at an estimated 255lbs 1MR now, we're slowly creeping up the ladder to 3 wheels. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
LOL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
What's wrong with result macros, err, I mean, "poverty macros?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Wayne can't lock down the diet, ever. Fuck it, smash food and move weight. |
||||||||
|
|

Move weight lolz Dude is a joke, it's really even too ridiculous to be real. |

Art why don't you shut the fuck up once...? You're far from "impressive" and you're here talking shit to a fucking guy trying to improve himself... A big bench does not a "man" make phaggot... |

|
|

You shut the fuck up, dudes a fucking clown show. Youtube blog sig picture avatar countless threads all over the course of a fucking decade it's annoying as fuck I'm not the one doing the shit, I don't have a blog, a youtube channel, I don't say shut like "amrap", I just work out. |

I usually wouldn't attempt that without a spot but, I felt like unstoppable today. The pyramid went like this 135x30 185x20 225x12 275x5 315x2 335x1 and then back down, when I got back to 225 I just did x10 sets with that in conjunction with pushups to failure. 3 mins between sets. Done. No algebra or magic formula involved, that's how I felt today and it was good. I could probably find over the course of 10 years that you claim I'm a faggot, that any workout you've ever talked about or had claim to fame of, was bench press. Oh and you're good at throwing and catching the winning touchdown, putting in fences, and moving logs since your job for the longest time was that of wolverine in hiding. Quote: For a body building style, I like CT Fletchers style of working out. It works for me, I mean, I don't follow him but my personal style is the same way. You should still be progressing set to set, every set counts for something, reps aren't just for the sake of reps. You gotta get your swoll on dog. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsPKfahw-B0 youtube logic, ct fletcher style methods... how about nutrition art? Quote: Going to the Bahamas this summer. Got be complete beast. In this thread I will outline how to go from animal to beast in 12 weeks. Starting picture... ending picture great progress, please tell me more.

Did you seriously just ask me about nutrition? Seriously? Yeah wayne, I look like I look cause of genetics lol. Nigga I work out and eat right, when I get home tonight I'll post pictures of me from 05 (242 pounds) to now. There ain't no secrets or spread sheets involved, it's about consistency. Your problem is you like to talk about lifting yet you're chubby and weak, you want respect but you rant and rave when people call you out. Youre a joke. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
you're 6'2 215-217lbs and your max bench is 335lbs, nigga please gtfo you're the one with pathetic numbers. |

I'm 6'3" but, thanks. And that was without a spot lolz |

I had given Wayne as much shit as anyone, but the dude is working towards "something"... Sure he loves to yo-yo, but Christ man, you're over the top with your incessant killing on the guy... I've become "friends" with Wayne over the last year, he has his "issues" just like the rest of us... he's getting stronger, and instead of adding anything useful, it's always "you suck", "you're a joke", "you're weak" or some variation of such... You think you're "impressive"... you play the big fish in a small pond on CSi well, but in the grand scheme you're "weak" too... Plenty of guys I know that'd blow your ass out of the water in any lift... Wayne, you fucking clown, step away from the cronut and lift a bar... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
95% of the fucking guys in here are the same as Wayne, they just don't make it public... which is why most of them grovel under your feet like you're some kind of superhero... Oh and i still can't bench 315, probably not even 135 right now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Nobody grovels under my feet And come to think of it I'm closer to 6'4" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
And wtf? I like wayne, I consider him a dear friend. I'm helping. I tried real advice years ago, no results, I tried support and cheering, that didn't work. Wayne makes his best progress when we have 45 pages of me berating him on an open forum. I'm doing my best bro |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Seems to me the dude likes to lift a lot and also likes to eat a lot. Based on the posts, he puts his time in gym-wise, then can't put the fork or camera down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Ok. New rules. I'm drunk. Wayne, I'm going to full support you, I won't give you a single piece of advice unless you ask, I'll fucking rally you on though. 3 months. That's it. If same shit, I'm going to hate, again, for your own good. I'm on your side though, I always have been. Fly to NY and I'll fucking train you. There's a holiday inn really close. We got this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
See? I always said Art was a good guy. He loves errbody. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
and really you chose my beginning pic twice and you know what? I look like beast fucking man in that pic, which was the point. I maintain, I'm always jacked. right now I'm jacked. I posted vids today too, watch them, observe my overall size. I'm large. I will help you. Quit your job, bring enough money for food and stay in my garage. I have a huge garage. Stay there. Lift. I'm dead serious. |

it be cold soon though. Prepare for that. |

This could be the winning strategy. Wayne has way too many delicious food options near him. Art can keep the food under lock and key and dish out accordingly. This will work! |

I bet he could put together and market a decent KickStarter with the time he uses to document everything else. Needs a good name - "No Cupcakes at ArtCamp"? |

Obesity! haha yeah it's not a flattering photo at all. I am low carb right now so I will always look flat and round. Being fat too doesn't help! I think we've found the sweet spot macronutrient wise and if necessary we may introduce some slight liss cardio in the speed the descent back to 180 up. But I'm not trying to lose at a rapid pace for obvious reasons. |

I know it's good and I'd eat it, but if you're weight isnt going down, there's probably a reason. |

Lots of powerlifters follow carb backloading, I was just doing it to avoid eating carbs throughout the day. I could drink gatoraids instead of eating a bag of candy. It's not like it was snickers they all were the same deal, just simple sugars carbohydrates, sucrose. I could get away with eating a fuckton of pineapples too. They're just more expensive. Quote: Why eat bags of candy? You're probably eating too much carbs and sugar. That slice of pie is "1 slice," but I bet there's 600 calories in that motherfucker.

Quote: I know it's good and I'd eat it, but if you're weight isnt going down, there's probably a reason. I don't do cardio. That's a last resort since it will take away from energy required to perform the session. Art can make all of the jabs he wants, since june I've added 30lbs to my squat, 30-50lbs to my deadlift, and 30lbs to my bench. While maintaining an average bodyweight of 202lbs. I'm not shredded by any means nor is that the point. But strength is going up and that's really all I care about. |

Regarding the comment about your coach and "finding a middle ground".... I'm assuming you are shelling out a decent amount of cash for this coaching, correct? Why not go with what he says? Does his guidance fall in line with what you're currently doing regarding diet? It is possible diet, lift heavy, lean out, and make strength gains. Also, I'm not talking about going full on kale/chicken, but we all know you still eat shitty foods...often. I know you give zero fucks about fat gain, I'm just curious and trying to figure out your logic. |

Does his guidance fall in line with what you're currently doing regarding diet? Yes, it falls in line. meal timing for the most part everyone has agreed really is irrelevant... I eat most of all the proteins and fats during the day, minimal carbs and try to just load the carbs up at my allotted amount nightly so they're available the next day glycogen wise. Logically that makes sense but don't want to get all bro sciency and technical. I eat what I'm supposed to, period. Quote: It is possible diet, lift heavy, lean out, and make strength gains. Also, I'm not talking about going full on kale/chicken, but we all know you still eat shitty foods...often. Worst I've done as of late was korean bbq last night, I couldn't tell you the last time I had a cupcake or poptart, hell even cereal. Quote: I know you give zero fucks about fat gain, I'm just curious and trying to figure out your logic. Right now I'm just doing what I'm told and trying to make the most out of it. |

I've pretty much been eating the same thing for the last three weeks... americano in the morning with splenda, dash of half n half 60g protein isolate roughly 55g protein bsn syntha 6 2 scoops, 16oz of fat free milk - 14g fat / 50cho / 60g protein rice cakes, normally one package in the pm - fast acting carb instead of bags of candy ramen for sodium little bit of carbs 10oz of chicken thighs 4-7oz of sweet potato home made marinade 6oz of troll caught tuna, some light mayo, relish, spicy mustard, hard boiled egg mixed baby green leafs with a 1/2 tsp of light olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette Today I had the starbucks pastry which eliminated the rice cakes and ramen from the picture... Instead of the shakes sometimes I will just make a fat 16oz top sirloin steak. which is normally around 18g of fat 0 carbs 100ish grams of protein. Really just depends on schedule, no cronuts, donuts, blah blah blah. |

Wayne, try this combo. Haribo "golden bears" and hershey's chocolate bar (or kisses) just get the proper ratio of gummy bear to chocolate in each mouthful. |

I see the MFP history. There's a lot of junk on there. Lock that shit up for 90 days and the fat would fall off and I highly doubt lifts would suffer. |

Strength is only relative to the person and their % VS their bodyweight...not to Art's size. He's what...195-200lbs? EXRX standards basically have his deads and squat @ advanced and his bench/OHP @ the top end of intermediate (based on the pic he posted earlier). You're what...225? That puts your EXRX deads and squats @ over 480 & 410 respectively and your bench @ 305 (this I'm sure you beat). Even if you can beat those deads/squats numbers...I srsly doubt you're crushing them. Even so...he's been at this probably a 1/3 of the time that you have. You've never come from fat to strong. |

Point is...you're NOT in the elite column. So you're looking down on a guy that really fits within the same columns as you do. And he did it without the genetic advantage that you did it with. Not sure why you keep hating....over and over and on and on......The dude has progressed in strength nicely and has said for years that getting shredded isn't his goal. |

I've seen recent pics. You're not in elite. Not even close. You're simply genetically large and you lift. Based on the pics you posted I actually wondered if you lifted anymore. |

Would share your lifts and proof that you're not full of shit with the numbers? Or are you just going to hate on everyone that doesn't do it your way, drinking heavily all week while telling us all to eat clean? |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I'm full of shit and you're "clowning" me on the subject of lifting? Too good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Well...I asked you to back up your mouth and all you have is bullshit in return. Yeah...you're full of shit. You're strong and large. Big fucking deal. Just put "lift heavy, eat clean" in your sig and STFU already. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Do I have to post a picture and video per day for a decade or something? You're trying way to hard junior. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Just post a pic of you DL'ing 500lbs and squatting 425lbs. Otherwise you're just another advanced lifter like the rest of us. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Here, you show and prove, have someone take a picture of you next to a measuring tape |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
So...you won't do it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
im not a fucking tool so no, I'm not gonna ask someone to photograph me in the gym so I can run and post it on a civic forum to shut up some 5'6" clown who broke his arm curling. So no, sorry |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Keep trying to make this about me. You cannot lift those lifts. You're just an advanced level strength guy like 137 and myself. You're a clown. You bag on him for his diet and all you brag about is your alcoholic life. Because your genes pass the calories and his doesn't. FULL OF SHIT |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
You need so desperately to be taken seriously. Now you're on my lifting level |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Probably...but you're always going to measure overall...and no, I'm not as far as that goes. LB for LB I submit that you're as average as the rest of us until otherwise proven. Weight classes are relevant. Its within your power to shut me up. Or its not. Your move. Of course you could just deflect like you have been. |
||||||||
|

I'm intermediate and PROUD OF IT! |
||||||||

|

|

|
|
|||||||
I remember a time when people used to lift weights and shit... http://youtu.be/OrH6rOHM_Eg |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Me too, now it's just bizarre. I envy those with a home gym. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I absolutely LOVE having a home gym...I'll never go back to using local gyms again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Our facility is pretty good I have a cheap setup at home but the problem is my basement ceiling is to low to do squats down there. And I only have like 300 pounds maybe. I need to set up my garage. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
You need like 7.5' for a rack, maybe less for a smaller topless rack. And for OHP you'd need 8' easy, of course you could do seated. I guess 7.5' is too much to ask for a basement? But to NEVER have to wait, travel or wear earphones? Grunt all you want!! Try heavy weights without worrying about the embarrassment of failing? I TRIED 305 squat yesterday...only made it about 10% back up and then bam. Amazing how 5lbs can tip the scale. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I can't wait for the day I have a home gym. Until then I'll continue to go to the gym at ~5:25 am before work. Maybe 10 people in the entire place and I'd say 6-7 of them are doing cardio. It's early, yes, but no waiting, no douchebags, so it's all good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I have a 7.5 ceiling but it has all the gas and water pipes running a few inches below it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I'd think you could manage with that. You'd have to have a topless rack and do seated OHP...no? I'd think you could still have a pullup bar too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Negative |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Well I mean I can't do squats and I hate doing pull-ups with a low ceiling. I have a big detached garage though, I could set that up. Then I could film myself all day for your enjoyment |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Now you SEE!?!?!? I film myself for form reasons on the heaviest lifts. It's been helpful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
No, I don't see at all. |

So, I didn't want to make a separate thread, but I just got my allergy tests back. In the category of food, I'm allergic to: Corn Wheat Milk Tomato Peanut Some citrus Awesome. No wonder the "all meat diets" work best for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Mild allergies or severe? When I was a kit, I had a test and I was allergic to tons of shit, but none were severe except fish. Fish will dead me. |

Class III/IV. Enough to cause a clinical reaction. Not enough to dead me. |

IMO being allergic to that many foods, especially as an adult, is exceedingly rare. My dad is an allergist and I used to work in his office in the summer during school. I can't ever recall seeing a patient allergic to all that shit at once! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Yeah, I got a referral for an allergist. My doc was like "Uh, I dunno, man. You need to see a specialist." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
well that sucks... I will eat a donut in your honor lol. j/k it's max week shooting for 260 bench 500 deadlift 420 squat if I get more, I get more, if I get less then I get less. just motivation to grind while we taper off this useless weight. sitting at 203 this morning. Started this program 16 weeks ago at 202lbs so weight stayed the same, lifts have gone up. Considering getting a scan to show increase in muscle mass from the last measurement I got. shooting for an overhead press pr this week as well. here is some footage I sent my coach really just focusing on technique on the lifts. My deadlift is a bit hitchy, but it's due to the sciatica flaring up again. |

It's called a seal row, it's a pain in the ass to set up obviously but it takes your lower back completely out of the row so you can focus all on the upper back (lats, traps, rhomboids) Depending on the type of bench, this can also be done with a barbell, unfortunately we don't have any normal benches, they all incline.

Once I get back on track I'm going to have to start going to a real gym again for the support and mptivation of seeing strong people. I think the best thing about this gym environment overall is that the strongest people there want feedback too and are willing to also point out things that you could be doing. They kick it to you straight, nobody who is strong wants to hear that every lift they did was awesome just because it's heavy. At some point they sucked too, so they're all super humble and cool. Crossfit, always felt like everyone was out to get you, they were all up in your shit "what did you get, oh I got this, oh I beat you today." that was really unappealing to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Yep, I tried crossfit for a little bit and all the people were cool, but I just didn't like it. I felt like with speed and time being factors that I didn't focus on form as much and form is extremely important to me due to my low back problems. Yep, that's what I loved about my gym when I was my strongest back in the day. We were all pretty serious and we would help each other with form and everything. I never could have achieved what I did without that support system. |

|
|

I can relate...I was trying to lose weight for a half I ran this past Oct and I was in a weird spot of gaining weight...ended up nearly 10# over where I wanted to be. Crazy. Turns out I had substantially reduced my cardio without really adjusting my intake for like 3-4 weeks. The taper just made it worse lol I'm sure this doesn't help.my bad |

You chunky Wayne! I like that odd squat bar. Just skipped through without sound bc work, but what is that thing called? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
It's a safety squat bar, involves more of your core to stay upright. |

If I say I suck at carbs then hey I went over 25g shit happens oh well. I also go over protein all the time too, my adipose fat storage is my midsection thighs and ass. Those were the cards I was dealt, such is life. I'm sorry I'm not an appealing powerlifter, not everyone can be dan greene. ohsnap |

I don't get the hate. Wayne stated many times he doesn't give a fuck about diet or looks. Heavy ass weight only. I have a friend who is very into powerlifting and has been competing for years. He's carrying a ton of fat, and also moves a ton of weight....no fucks given. |
||||||||
|
|

thats just not judgemental enough for cSI tho. After all, we have so many acclaimed body builders here. Just ask |

To be fair he did get real sassy for just pointing something out that wasn't malicious. |

The one guy on this forum that has like 80 fucking user names and is more skitzo than rosamund pike in gone girl is going to come in my thread and casually poke around. nah, bye felicia. OB1 has no place in my thread. And he beats me in 1 lift LOL! Okay my bench is 280lbs right now, please tell me you're benching at least 20-30lbs more currently otherwise all you have is your height and fitness bro. |

Wayne where is 280 bench vid...? |

All of this hating on Wayne is beyond played out. It's been years. You know what you're getting with him. He's admitted as much. He's not going hardcore with the diet. He recognizes that he'll probably always be carrying more fat than he wants. He also works his ass off (figuratively speaking) in the gym. He's got dedication, and no matter your views on his physique, you have to respect that. No, his bench isn't world breaking right now, but there was a time when that was true for all of us. For some of us, it's STILL true. My bench isn't very high, either, and I've probably been consistently lifting longer than Wayne has. I'm not saying you have to LIKE what he's doing. But if you don't, what does it matter? This is his thread. He can post whatever he feels like. View it or don't. Like it or don't. I don't think he cares, really. I just hate the needless hate. CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?!?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Wayne can get "in shape" if he wants... I got him down to 187 and he was on his way to getting an "aesthetic" look, but he found powerlifting, and adding strength was more important for him vs getting lean at that point... I was disappointed he chose to stop cutting but hey, you gotta do what you want... I consider Wayne a "friend", as we interact on other social media and seeing people talk shit to him, just to needle him annoys me... I mean there's "ribbing", and then there's just being a dick... |

This thread is a roller coaster of encouragement/discouragement. Wayne's doing what makes him happy. I can't fault that. The dedication and analysis of it is kinda interesting. |

Squats @ 305 looked effortless, that's awesome. |
||||||||
|
|

in case anyone is curious, the lifting fed I am going to participate in. USAPL, rules for the bench are. feet need to be flat, butt, back, and head must all be in contact with the bench throughout the lift, you also have to wait for commands. The start command, the press command once the bar touches your chest, and then the rack command. miss any commands, no lift, butt comes off of the bench, feet off of the floor, head off the bench, no lift. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
head on the bench seems like a really odd condition... |

Hating my body right now. Slow recovery, especially bench. My bench can't get back to normal fast enough. When is your first meet? I had to postpone my first Oly meet. Might have to postpone my first Power also. |

Just started benching 135# last week, lol. I tore some connective tissue in my shoulder/chest/bicep. Was doing dips with 3x45# plates on the dip belt. The annoying thing was, before my injuries. I was strong enough to break all of the California State Powerlifting records by 20-50# each. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
So, how often are you benching? |

were you asking how much I'm benching or how much Jayson is benching? I am benching around 3 times a week. My program starts off by peaking hypertrophy and then tapers off into heavy singles, doubles and triples for shorter sets and I'm sure there will be a peak week or two in these next 6 weeks and then a straight up and well deserved deload because my legs feel like doo doo. I am currently tapering on down in my program. Here is what the the last 6 weeks have looked like and the 7th week is what I'm doing this week. We've also decided to just keep my weight up at 215-220 and build off of that for a while instead of trying to fight the gains by dieting down to 205 while intensifying the training. A lot of things will be removed mainly on the 5th day and subbed with more bench, ohp, or general accessory work as I feel the cleans and turkish getups were more for fun than actual purpose. |

I forgot this was Wayne's thread lol I try to bench on my squat days. Mon/wed/fri. I couldn't even do one push up in December so I shouldn't be complaining. Nice logs Wayne. I was just about to ask you what your programming looks like. |

That's right in line with what you were lifting at the gym, though, right? That's pretty damn good, man. I'd be happy if I were you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Also went 9/9 all white lights. I got paranoid as fuck because my brain was in autopilot, some guy smoked his bench and got red lighted for lifting his head. and I was like fuck fuck fuck I'm going to lift my head now haha |

More meets? to lose weight again. going back down to 190 Out of sheer ignorance--why would you want to go back down to 190? Easing back on the powerlifting thing for awhile? The training was brutal man, I haven't had that much of a "dead period" to really focus on leveling things out chemically in my body. I was eating poverty with a refeed, training needs jumped up. But calories had to stay in check and no cardio to regulate anything or to create a deficit. So I went from eating like 2100 calories to almost 3500 and still never felt like that was enough, 0 cardio. 4-5 hour lifting sessions. That was just the first block of training I posted earlier, the 2nd half got worse. weight kept going from 215-210 then back up and without cardio there was no way I was getting to 93kg/205lbs in 7-8 weeks so I just went up to the next weightclass and used that to my advantage letting me eat my way into the meet. But now I'm sitting at 225lbs and I'm not willing to do another strength block and let it get any higher than that. That was not the purpose of me giving up looking like a sexy boy to become a total fat ass again, so I am just going to coast and drop back down and also kick back on training. I didn't realize how stressful training 5 days a week could be, then tapering down to 4 days and now I would like it to be 3 days. While most don't think 5 days is a huge deal, 5 days a week at 3-5 hours a session is like a part time job. Nutrition was basically whatever was in front of me, or how I felt emotionally rather than being disciplined and motivated to be a chef too. Just so many things out of my control, at times I'd finish a week of training, then free time was dedicated to sleep maybe a solid 4-6 hours of that a day, playing video games 2-3 hours a week, grocery shopping and then trying to cook for the week 5-8 hours for that as long as I don't have a family engagement, wedding, etc to attend. so yeah I need a fucking break because this being fat shit isn't cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
sounds like it's not as fun as it used to be, I think many [most?] of us struggle with motivation here. I know I do. Normally I try and picture what I wish I could become or do and that so far has been successful in motivating me to keep going. Of course my sights are set super low and I'm only working out like ~7-8/hrs week with a bunch of that on the weekends. I'm super ok with project mediocre mid-packer lol |

I DGAF what you're into, if you're doing it for that many hours a week, it'll likely lose its lustre. Congrats on all of the efforts and actually making it to the meet. Nice work. Good luck in the next phase. |
