Man - AWSOME workout! wish I could be there too - you guys would be great motivation!!! Can't believe you are throwing 75's up for the hammer curls - you gonna buy new shirts or just bust out of your old one's like Hulk? hahaha Keep it up, dude!

Hey Milk, it's nice to see that the cycle's going well, congrats. With your current diet, workout, and cardio schedule are you running on a calorie deficit? Just curious because you're getting very good strength gains, especially if you're not eating surplus calories.
Thanks

 

[HUNG4RY4N]

Overhand Barbell Rows 315/10, 345/7, 365/5
*most weight I've barbell rowed

Those are insane numbers! Do you do your BB rows starting with your back parallel to the floor, then as you pull the weight up do you start straightening your back bit so your torsos closer to 45 degrees compared to the floor when the weight hits your chest/abs?

Sorry if I overcomplicated that question LOL basically just asking if you use a little body-english.

I would imagine that I'm right at maintenance, therefore allowing me to strip off some body fat and gain muscle at the same time. I will more than likely be adding some calories soon.

It would be safe to say the I do in fact use a little bit more of my body than I should. I pretty much stay as a 45 degree angle and pull the bar up to my upper abs.

Hey man - so what is "maintenance" for you? 3000cals? more?

just curious.

*Triceps were very sore from Arm Day, so my pressing was limited to a little bit lighter weight than I would have liked.
*Decided that I'm going to use a little less weight on isolation exercises for Shoulders because I feel a better pump and more getting accomplished when I use slower, more deliberate reps.

I hate when this happens.

I hate when this happens.

Puts a damper on things for sure.

20 minutes of cardio on the Elliptical

*feeling a little bit jittery from the Clen
*very happy I got motivated to get to the gym to hit cardio for 20 minutes... going to be going 3x a week and shooting for 20-30 minutes of pretty intense cardio (keeping the heart rate in the 150-160 range)

 

[leanbody]

Great intensity, dude - keep it up!

 

[TheMilkMan]

Great intensity, dude - keep it up!

Thanks man...

Thought last semester was going to be my last go round with the bullshit work (I planned on making everything easy on myself and getting everything done ahead of time) but to no avail.

I must like putting way to much pressure on myself to perform in a pinch.

Hey not a bad quality - in life it's all about how you perform under pressure 'cause it don't get easier! Keep that attitude & you'll do well dude!

*really pissed at myself and hopefully I will wake up tomorrow morning and feel fine
*on a good note, I've noticed that my "steroid muscles" have come back... I feel super dense and the pumps I've been experiencing are amazing
