Check in!! @Raptor Labs @Raptor Rep

like I said in previous post 106kg fasted Wednesday morning very odd feeling as some shirts I feel reasonably large in and some make me look like I don't even lift which is doing my head in.

all in all, happy with how I look best I've looked at 106kg, my heaviest was 110kg but it looks nothing like this, so I'm interested to see what 110kg looks like this time around.

hopefully can keep progressing and making progress until prep starts which will be in the next 8 to 10 weeks max I can imagine but not my call see what coach wants to do.

pretty sure he is making the trip down for nationals as well so that will be awesome to finally meet him and hopefully not disappoint.

If you don't look like you lift then the rest of us are really screwed mate!

Your back is looking insane! Can't recall if I asked previously but what do you put your back size down to?

lot of deadlifts and rows early on, back has always been a strong point so it probably would've made progress no matter how I trained it

 

[Freakfitness]

Wow man, crazy size, your looking really good

thanks bro!!

 

[Freakfitness]

Rest day thoughts.

this has far been the most productive off season I've had by far and it's funny how people say it's just a matter of being consistent and that's 100% what it is, and to some that looks very different some think what they're doing is more than enough but in reality, it probably isn't and you won't figure that out until you go through it enough times and each time get that little bit better at doing the basics and nailing the day to day things such as sleep, going to bed at different times and not sticking to a schedule can have a huge impact on recovery and growth.
eating off plan more times than you should will kill progress in the off season as well if left unchecked.

I've actually grown to like rest days I used to hate them but now I just use them to get shit done that I normally wouldn't have time for especially selfcare like massage and relaxing to make sure you actually get some recovery.

rest days are also good to give your digestive tract a bit of a break with lower calories needed as output is less which i think some people also mess up because they overeat and just gain excess body fat.

Chest + delts (heavy set listed)

@Raptor Labs @Raptor Rep

Incline fly x3. 16.25kg

incline press x2. 70kg

Flat press x3. 60kg

Normal fly x3. 105lbs

Side lateral x3. 12kg

Rear delt x3. 12kg

Starting to track weights a lot more now, I've always gone in and done what feels right on the day mostly but still trying to progress week to week, I've gone through phases of recording weights and trying to beat the log book approach but found that took all of the fun out of it for me being so militant with it.
don't get me wrong I still track progress but I'm not so stuck in the ways of I need to lift heavier this session as that can lead to not only injury but also put you in a bad headspace because you feel like you failed.

Yes we want to progress but the main thing to this whole bodybuilding thing is consistency, as long as you show up and work your ass off that's all that really matters not numbers on the machine.

Check in!!

Food was increased the previous week and only ended up with a 200g increase so 106.2kg which I was happy with, and he wants just to marinate at this weight for a little bit before either adding more food or by that time prep might have even started, it's a little over 20 weeks I'm pretty sure but I'm still in pretty good shape so he might just let me roll on for a bit before food needs to be pulled.

going to be the best starting position for a prep I've had normally i get a little soft and end up having to pull 15 to 20kg off but this time I'm thinking around or not even 10kg which will be crazy if we can manage it.

weight isn't everything but I'm keen to see how close to 100kg I am by the time we cut down, realistically I'd be happy with 97 to 98 peeled but we'll see i could be less.

Normal fly x3. 105lbs

Dips x2

Side lateral x3. 14kg

Rear delt x3. 14kg

This was a tough one today I think I'm starting to get run down so joint and body were feeling it so wasn't out to break any records, will see how I feel tomorrow good be bringing my rest day forward possibly.

it's hard to pull back when all you want to do is keep smashing things and get better but just pushing through sometimes isn't the answer and could possibly set you back furth so listen to your body and rest when you need it.

got check in tomorrow as well so could be holding some fluid but we'll see when I upload the pics,
all in all still happy with how everything is going just hoping that pumping the glutathione
from driven nutrition will bring me right.

Hows the delts - plus its good to see you use 14kg DB for lat raises - goes to show its the technique and not the weight in that exercise.

it's hard to pull back when all you want to do is keep smashing things and get better but just pushing through sometimes isn't the answer and could possibly set you back furth so listen to your body and rest when you need it.

got check in tomorrow as well so could be holding some fluid but we'll see when I upload the pics,
all in all still happy with how everything is going just hoping that pumping the glutathione
from driven nutrition will bring me right.

Check in!

She's been one of those weeks, could feel myself getting sick Monday and by Tuesday it was here hahah.
haven't been sick in a while so it was a little annoying and I knew that would mean time out of the gym which really isn't the worst thing I've been going hard for a while now, so the break is probably what I needed.

towards the tail end of it now should come right in the next day or so then I can get back into it and start progressing again!

photos are trash I got up later as I was sick and the sun has completely washed me out and I couldn't be bothered doing it again, so you'll have to wait till next week for better shots haahah.

Arms (heavy set listed)

Cable curls x4. 13.75kg

Rope pushdown x4. 35kg

Preacher curl x4. 60lbs

Overhead extension x4. 35kg

Close grip smith x3. 2 plates

Hammer curl x3. 18kg

Arms have always been a pretty decent strong point for me but as I've gotten bigger it seems now, they need a little more work especially the triceps so that along with legs has been the focus point.

I feel both areas have improved slightly and my physique is pretty well balanced atm which I'm happy with, now it's just a matter of growing everything.

I know most hate training arms but I look forward to it, nothing like getting a filthy arm pump and feeling jacked ahahah.

prep shouldn't be far off now and I have nothing to worry about as @Raptor Labs @Raptor Rep will look after me with whatever I need and I'm very grateful to be a part of such an amazing team!!

only just coming right from this cold as well it rocked me for the better part of a week so hopefully I've seen the worst of it, might be worth seeing if the boys stock thymosin a1 and ll37 incase I run into this problem again hahah.

apologies for being a bit absent the past week, been busy travelling after getting over sickness as well but I'm back and going to try post a bit more to make up for it!!

switched a few things up I have now put my back day to Wednesday and moved arms to the weekend as sometimes I feel weekend sessions I don't have the same intensity as I do during the week, so I'd rather do an easier session such as arms on the weekend and make sure I make the most out of my only back session for the week.

weights are back on the rise post getting sick, joints and muscles all feel good now and I'm ready to keep progressing, I've also dropped my mg's back a couple hundred as well as I found all I was getting from the increase was unwanted sides, haven't told coach so I'll see if he notices.

Check in!!

Considering the travel and coming off sickness I wasn't upset with this check in, weight dropped a touch from previous week 107.3kg down to 106.5kg but I actually feel like last week was full of inflammation and i have more lines in my legs so can't complain.

no changes as the week was not 100% but that's fine, hopefully can stay healthy and in routine from now until September and see what progress can still be made.

feeling so much better now and ready to smash the gym and do the best I can to bring the best package come September.

Chest + delts (heavy set listed)

Incline machine fly x3. 85lbs

Incline press x2. 70kg

Flat press x3. 60kg

Normal fly x3. 105lbs

Side lateral x3. 60lbs

Rear delt x3. 15kg

been loving this workout and strength has been going up!! I've also been focusing more on progressing strength again as I went away from focusing a lot on that as my coach is very high volume so hitting real heavy weights for multiple was just too taxing and burnt me out, so volume has come down a bit to 2 sets for most exercises so I can really focus on getting stronger again.

I actually think it's not a bad thing going between the 2 if you respond well, doing some higher volume pump work then going back to some lower volume but heavier weights. I find I grow just as well doing both, so I like to mix it up and it keeps me interested in training as well.

I feel like I get the best of both worlds as people always debate which is better well why not just do both and either find out for yourself or do it because you enjoy it.
