The lat pushdowns are doing a lot of great work now that the weight is up. The negative movement really gets a great stretch on the muscle

That's big weight there on the pulldowns and seated row. Particularly considering you did the straight arm pulldowns before them.

monster session again with good sleep! lat raises a bit one and incline flies you could have done a 15 drop set easy @Farmboy

I absolutely agree, there was a bit extra on the lats today as I didn’t really feel like the first couple sets really hit them properly. Just a bit off with more upper back movement. The last three sets did work for sure

Had the missus with me today so up the weights went on all fly exercises. Definitely some greater challenge particularly with positioning the cables but everything felt very solid. Back to work tomorrow but a short set on one day shift and two night shifts. The fly work will likely sit around the 90lbs now for a few weeks until the rep form gets cleaned up a bit

Boys yesterday was a rough one, I’m sitting in my can and I look up to see water dripping from my light switch Once I’m done raging, I head up to my attic/crawl space to find a bunch of snow blew in from a badly covered ridge cap. Missed work, bucketed out the snow, removed the wet insulation and got the situation drying out. In the process, my heavy carcass broke a 2x4 crosspeice I was standing on and I went crashing down into the joice. Now although this was deeply unpleasant, the joice saved me from falling through my ceiling. Hours and hours of labor so I called that a……..rest day

I’m battered up brothers, the wife took a stone to me yesterday trying to scrub off spray foam residue and took a lot of skin with it. These are the joys of home ownership in the far north of Alberta. The workout was solid and the rest day on the body away from weights had me coming back feeling pretty solid. I reduced weight on some of the curl stuff as I lightly strained my elbows while trying to catch my gorilla ass falling through the attic. Nothing major though

That is quite the update bro. What a fucked up day. Hope nothing got damaged to badly on either the house or yourself. The stone rub ...wow...that does not sound pleasant.
How you managed to get a session in with all that going on is a true testament to your character and focus brother, amazing

Ah I like to whine about my work haha it wasn’t terrible. Getting to bemoan the amount of labor I do is my major motivation

Good sessions solve most troubles. I appreciate the support brother

I’m battered up brothers, the wife took a stone to me yesterday trying to scrub off spray foam residue and took a lot of skin with it. These are the joys of home ownership in the far north of Alberta. The workout was solid and the rest day on the body away from weights had me coming back feeling pretty solid. I reduced weight on some of the curl stuff as I lightly strained my elbows while trying to catch my gorilla ass falling through the attic. Nothing major though

@Farmboy you scared the crap out of me with your story. I thought you were going to say you found a dead body in your attic because I actually saw a story about that where someone died in the attic by shooting themselves in the head and then their blood dripped through the ceiling.

Damn I wasn’t prepared for this response after a nightshift no blood here, just a questionably constructed house that I’m steadily getting up to code

 

[Farmboy]

water in the attic how bad is the snow situation? @Farmboy

strong training though you pushed it 145 tri push

Northern snow, it’s just a pain with the wind. Shouldn’t be an issue but steps were missed during construction

 

[Farmboy]

I'm hoping to get a roofer up here soon

If you can get tin, go for it. Lasts forever, low maintenance and sounds great in the rain

yeah i can imagine snow on the roof being an issue where you live

How much did it snow and what is the most it's ever snowed since you've been living there? @Farmboy

Boys yesterday was a rough one, I’m sitting in my can and I look up to see water dripping from my light switch Once I’m done raging, I head up to my attic/crawl space to find a bunch of snow blew in from a badly covered ridge cap. Missed work, bucketed out the snow, removed the wet insulation and got the situation drying out. In the process, my heavy carcass broke a 2x4 crosspeice I was standing on and I went crashing down into the joice. Now although this was deeply unpleasant, the joice saved me from falling through my ceiling. Hours and hours of labor so I called that a……..rest day

Back in the saddle today, first nightshift

I would imagine the problems you guys have because of the extreme weather. @Farmboy where I live we have a big problem with leaking roofs because it rains a lot. We also have problems with air conditioners breaking a lot.

@Farmboy Bros, overhead extensions are definitely hard work. You'll get a great workout from that. You'll push yourself.

I like the easy curl bar and you're doing 90 lb, which is pretty solid, and you're doing repetitions. I like how you're pyramiding out the repetitions as well. @Farmboy

I like the easy curl bar and you're doing 90 lb, which is pretty solid, and you're doing repetitions. I like how you're pyramiding out the repetitions as well. @Farmboy

Building upwards for sure. It’s nice to bring back to ez curl bar for a different kind of bicep hit

 

[Farmboy]

@Farmboy Bros, overhead extensions are definitely hard work. You'll get a great workout from that. You'll push yourself.

Great great stretch in the long tricep head. Failure often gets a lot of body language thrown in plus some lats too. Great burnout

 

[Farmboy]

I would imagine the problems you guys have because of the extreme weather. @Farmboy where I live we have a big problem with leaking roofs because it rains a lot. We also have problems with air conditioners breaking a lot.

Come with having a house I guess. Anywhere a man goes, house maintenance and reps shall surely accompany him

 

[Farmboy]

How much did it snow and what is the most it's ever snowed since you've been living there? @Farmboy

This has been a heavy winter for sure with more than 6ft in total. That said, we often get freak warmups that bring down the level of present snow before more then piles up

 

[Farmboy]

yeah i can imagine snow on the roof being an issue where you live

Just has a way of blowing in poorly closed off tin. Ach

Put extra time into warming the shoulders up prior to hitting chest. I need to avoid any strains or even longer recovery times when I’m away from home. The lighter weight still brought the pain through really controlling my form and getting that extra stretch/squeeze out

It’s a terrible perk haha travel isn’t great for me. Plus these guys only see me every few months so they steadily watch me bulk up and are fixing to ask me hard questions

Just tell them of they can put bench you then you'll answer any question they have lol

Yea bulking on gear makes it kinda obvious what's going on haha..pretty sure even my parents are suspicious of me at this point it's gotten that bad haha

100% brother, only thing saving me this time is the EQ has kept the bloat away from my head and neck. Definitely a leaner gaining run that doesn’t make me look as beefy

Hang in there brother. Just a bit of load will carry you through this period. Things will improve as you get used to it and navigate it more effectively

@Farmboy Nice job on the cable pulldowns. I like how you are keeping your rep range over 10. Really gives the body a chance to be forced to get stronger.

I like the cable pulldowns and I like the cable chin-ups. Those are really nice together and chest support or rear delt dumbbell flies are also good. @Farmboy

Good job on this. I like the Yates rows and I like the cable pulldowns. And then finishing up with chest supported rear delts is amazing as well. @Farmboy

Last full day, crawling along now. Noting some additional shoulder sensitivity so put time into them

Chest supported lat raises
15lbs x 12
15lbs x 12
15lbs x 10
15lbs x 10
15lbs x 9 worked them around, got blood into them. Felt solid for the rest of the day

Preacher curls - love the bench
70lbs x 12
70lbs x 12
70lbs x 10
70lbs x 10
70lbs x 8 again solid, I love having access to a preacher bench

Laying skullcrushers
60lbs x 12
60lbs x 12
60lbs x 10
60lbs x 8
60lbs x 6 only way to really hit the long head while at the work gym

Tricep cable pushdowns
Half stack x 12
Half stack x 12
Half stack x 12

Tired brothers, very tired. Quality of all the above has taken a hit so I’ve upped volume to compensate. Quality is superior to quantity but when there’s no option, quantity it is

I like the sounds of that. Beef in all the right places and not the wrong ones. Hopefully I get a similar experience when my EQ time comes this summer.
