Friday Update

Wake up @ 200
Post Workout @ 198

Traps/Triceps yesterday. Normal workout with my normal heavy weight.

Biceps/arms today. One of three variations, today was the seated plate loaded curls. bar, 10, 25, 35, 45, 55 .... 180
Good arm pumps.

Thinking about 3 plates or 315 for reps on heavy leg day tomorrow, still working up to the heavier weight. Left adductor does not hurt, but I do feel something at times.
One day at a time...

very impressive update, keep an eye on that pain

Saturday Update : Heavy Leg Day

Wake up @ 199
Post Workout @ 194

I do lose weight post workout on Saturday/Sunday. It's a longer workout. Sometimes I get another BM at the gym.
Also, I steam and sauna at the gym. It's kind of my spa relaxation day. So its not uncommon for me to drop so much
weight, I do drink fluids while I work out as I get thirsty.

My adductor feels decent. Instead of ball squats I have been doing box squats, actually sitting on the box. My first group is on box length that is barely at parallel for me.
This is due to my tibia length. I am doing them banded.

10xbar no box
10x135 box
10x225 box
11x10x315 box (Yup, 11 Sets of 10)
10x225 wide box
10x225 narrow box
10x225 no box wide stance
10x225 no box narrow stance
10x135 wide box
10x135 narrow box
10x135 no box wide stance
10x135 no box narrow stance

Felt very good, pretty easy to me. No issues on the adductor.

Took the box off the squat platform and put on the edge. This gives me below parallel squat. No bands. I do sit on the box.
10x135
10x 225
2x5x315 (Much more difficult to start from sitting position below the parallel)
10x225 Wide Stance
10x225 Narrow Stance
10x135 Wide Stance
10x135 Narrow Stance

All in all pretty good. I was surprised at my lack of strength on the lower position at the higher weight. Something to work on.

I did trap bar deads afterwards
RDL version
10x70
10x160
10x250
10x340
5x430

Standard Trap Dead
5x430
10x340
4x340 Trap Bar Pulls (kind of like a rack pull, but with trap bar)
10x250 Deads & Trap Bar Pulls
10x160 Deads & Trap bar Pulls
10x70 Dads & Trap bar Pulls (2 bumper plate 10s)

Smith Machine Squats
Back
10xbar wide/narrow
10x45 (each side) wide set & narrow set
10x90 (each side wide set & narrow set
5x135 (each side) wide set a& narrow set
Front Squat
5x90 (each side)
10x45 (each side)
10xbar

Overall very happy with my squatting. I would almost say I've healed up well. In fact maybe I've grown some adductor muscle.
Who knows.

My cycle starts next Saturday, so I will post some progress pics this week. Will also get more detailed starting next week.

Just getting primed...

That's a lot of sets

Sunday Update

Wake Up @ 198
Post Workout @ 193

Chest/Shoulder Focus today. I do 5 top sets on Sundays. That first set is kicking ass.
I got 21x225 on the first incline with 15,12,12 and 12 to follow
I got 10x225 on the front military press with 6, 6, 6, and 7 to follow.
No spotter today.

I can't complain, weight is going down and strength is going up. That is the perfect combo.
My past experience has shown as I cycle and focus on a show, I can slowly lose the first 15 lbs and I am still very strong.
At this point, I would expect to start losing some strength around 180.

This is due to the fact that I still have fat to give. Most of it is around and in the belly area. My lifting belt
is still two notches away from last year peak condition. Also, I should have been leaner last year. I am really trying to focus on core
and stomach control. Vacuums and such earlier.

I would expect Feb to be in the mid 190s, March to be in the lower 190s/high 180s, and April in the mid 180s.
This month I am still eating, I'm just eating cleaner. I just had a sweet potato with cinnamon. Less and less processed junk.
More and more clean foods. All great ingredients to easily recomp which is my goal at the moment.

Happy Sunday. Let's get it!

try to change you diet now so you can dial into the show more
