RIR training? will be funPUSH Day
GREAT workout today. Had a great discussion with coach about RIR training. While I thought I was close, and I was, I wasn't getting it exactly right. Got some great information and applied that and it was like a lightbulb moment. It just clicked and I got it right. Definitely made a difference in my training today and moving forward. Thank you, coach!!! Let better gains begin!

Big hunger is a good thing no matter whatPULL Day
Today's workout felt amazing. Definite increase in strength and went up as much as 20# on a few exercises. Mind to muscle connection seems to be getting so much better. Doing the RIR correctly certainly helps. It's helped me to focus on each set better if that makes sense. It is literally like going from standard definition TV to HD. Felt so good. Hunger is shooting through the roof this week. Whoa! That's fun. But other than that, great day to be in the gym as always!

Yes. Of course it gets a lot weaker as the reps go higher. But I can do very good ones for about 5-6 reps. Working on that number!Big hunger is a good thing no matter whatand looking at your pics you're getting MUCH stronger and bigger there.
Are you able to pull in with pull ups?
Lean sirloin is on the menu today!bro if hunger shooting up you need red meat. that the best solution here. @BigD9795 load up on the steak and beef
@BigD9795 considering adding yoga to your routine.....take on that suggestion.........Rest Day/Active Recovery
Stretching and mobility exercises. Treadmill time for steps. Should top 15k steps today.

Drop the weight so you can ramp up the reps.Yes. Of course it gets a lot weaker as the reps go higher. But I can do very good ones for about 5-6 reps. Working on that number!
bro hell yeah red meat a day keep the cowboy awayLean sirloin is on the menu today!
Thank you, brother! My coach plans the routines and I follow them to the letter!@BigD9795 Proud of you, man. This is a hell of a workout routine. You put together some good training, I like the wide grips.
I've never really done yoga, but been considering it for the many benefits. Especially stress management to keep cortisol levels down.@BigD9795 considering adding yoga to your routine.....take on that suggestion.........
@BigD9795 nice work on the pull day. You’re looking lean big guy. Keep it upPULL Day
Today's workout felt amazing. Definite increase in strength and went up as much as 20# on a few exercises. Mind to muscle connection seems to be getting so much better. Doing the RIR correctly certainly helps. It's helped me to focus on each set better if that makes sense. It is literally like going from standard definition TV to HD. Felt so good. Hunger is shooting through the roof this week. Whoa! That's fun. But other than that, great day to be in the gym as always!

Been Struggling with insomnia the last week or so. Got the training on point and going well. Hunger is ramping up big time. Been spacing out meals/snacks and utilizing different food types and timing to help as much as I can. Time to aggressively get after fixing the insomnia so I can get rest. Don't want anything to slow down gains. Stress, anxiety, probably increased cortisol levels. I will figure it out.

Sleep has been lacking lately. Insomnia is kicking my butt. Sleep study slated for tonight. CPAP and other measures are likely in my near future. I don't care what it takes, just have to get it under control. Still had an intense leg day. Feel good about it. Strength still increasing. Going up in weight on most exercises fairly steady. Loving that! Once I get this sleep thing under control, can't wait to see how things improve. A plan is in place, so at least things are getting addressed.

Generally! I don't get bored with it, so provided digestion isn't needing a change, I stick to the plan.
I don't have a photo of the unit, but it's a Resmed one. Of course they convince you to trial the top of the line oneGot 3 hours with the mask on last night- apparently this isn't too bad for a first time (mask takes getting used to), but will stick at it. Interesting to see that my watch logged last night as a really good sleep (even though I was up a few times taking the mask off/ putting the mask on). I don't put too much stock in the sleep scores that my watch gives, but I did find it intriguing.
This is true- you can buy a machine without a study happening. And they don't treat you any different- still get the same help. Only thing that it might be useful for is the initial pressure set up (the more you stop breathing during the night, apparently you need the pressure higher). But my health insurance covered part of the cost and didn't ask for the sleep score/ doctors referral, so it wouldn't have changed anything here, either.@BigD9795 You can do a CPAP without the sleep study, just buy one.we were just talking bout CPAP with @hypogaeum you can check here

I have a Resmed S9 that is older. I have figured out how to get into the setup of the machine and have been working on getting the settings correct for my situation. I completed a sleep study last night and should know exactly how I need to program it and get it up and running soon.

PUSH Day
Pretty good day today. Still having very rough nights of sleep. Had a sleep study and waiting on results. Also exploring other options with my doctor. As part of addressing this, I have decided to come off any/all high stim pre workouts which I have always really liked using. So, that is going to be tough for a few weeks. But it is FAR more important to get my rest and recovery back and cortisol levels where they need to be. I still took a medium level pre as I titrate down. But plan to keep the pre's very simple moving forward. The one area I noticed the lack of caffeine and exotic stims was cardio. It was kind of brutal. But got it done.

Big leg day you going to have huge hammiesLeg B Day (Hamstring Focused)
Had a good workout today. Feeling stronger in spite of titrating myself off of high stim pre-workout. The only residual from that is the energy fades a little faster and the post workout cardio is a little harder. Got 8.25 hours of total sleep with 3.5 hours uninterrupted. That's the longest uninterrupted I have had in months. Felt good. Still working on sleep issues. Hoping to get it ironed out soon! Check-In with coach has been submitted and waiting to see what is next. Coach bumped my carbs by 30g this week! AWESOME! Breakdown below.

The tough ones are the ones u really got to earn it, its a good feeling at the endPULL Day
Good workout today. TOUGH at times since I am titrating down on high stim pre workout. Intensifier was awesome though. I always love doing hem even though they push you to the max. The back pump I got was great. I could really feel it this morning. I think where I felt the lack of high stim the most was during cardio. Had to push hard this morning. LOL

It's an intensifier that my coach put in there. It is only done on occasion. Not on a regular basis.You're doing too much volume on the lateral raises, you should drop that to 3 sets imo
I love the Kelso shrugs after the back routine!! That is one of my favorite moments, I just never knew what it was called until now.PULL Day
Took a bit to get going this morning. Sleep quality wasn't great and still working on that solution. Was tired today, but most lifts didn't suffer and still feeling stronger. Weight is trending up and feeling fuller for sure. The wife said I am definitely physically thicker/bigger. Putting in the work and enjoying the process.

Yeah, I love PUSH AN DPULL DAYS!!! I love the pumps I feel from working the back and the kelso shrugs pump up the traps. The straight bar cable curls are definitely a staple for me.I love the Kelso shrugs after the back routine!! That is one of my favorite moments, I just never knew what it was called until now.
And the straight bar cable curls are badass!!
I think part of the issue with sleep quality might be overtraining, do you use any device to track sleep?PULL Day
