Sorry for the fuzzy picture. My camera is acting up on my phone
She works out with me a lot. This week she missed a lot of days because of other obligations with the kiddos. Friday we just did a blended workout to hit the workouts she missed.
@Mobster
awesome man. does your gym not have child care?
bro the deadlifts are on point. good work on this. i got mad love and respect @TAGII
wonderful job on this @TAGII It's always good to see some heavy training. Makes me happy.
bros you pumping it up nicely @TAGII 4 plates looking good! and good volume too pumping that iron
Don't get too carried away using straps on your deadlifts. Try and lift as raw as possible, most of the time. @TAGII Otherwise. Great job, as usual.
@TAGII incline dumbbell press is A+. i love the hard work you are doing. 140lbs on 3 sets of 15 is good !
The new gym we joined doesn’t. But my kids are old enough and the gym is only a mile from the house @stevesmi
@2Thick
@ROIDDERS thanks man! I got to get some pictures of some of this equipment cause I don’t know how to describe it. It is very old school
lifting heavy is the bestLifting heavy makes me smile lol
@TAGII man with no pump and food in your stomach you’re still looking killer. This cycle will be an awesome one for your physique.View attachment 118966

for sure. raw is always best
good job!Thanks man!!!

thanks
bros hell yeah big weights@ceo those kilo plate are humbling, I’m used to 4 plates being 405lbs not 496lbs lol
@TAGII shifting some heavy weight bro! Awesome work!
Hell yeah man
@TAGII Solid lifts bro....
Nice job you will get it next time
Big pressing session, opening with 315 triples then backing off with solid 245x10s gave you both strength and volume. Incline smith at 275 kept the upper chest loaded heavy, good balance with the lighter pump sets after. Pec deck slow negatives and that full stack chest press showed control and strength, chest is clearly filling out well. @TAGII
Strong numbers on both machines, leg press at 760 for clean sets and pendulum squat moving up to 630 for 7 shows your base strength is there. Getting that in after a late day proves the drive is locked, and adding the extensions and curls Saturday will round it out with volume. That combo of heavy load and follow-up isolation will blow your legs up fast. @TAGII I have to say your legs look thick and insane! !!!!!

@LevButlerov
EVO family LOVEThanks!
@TAGII you are looking great man! this training is sensational. i love it
bro nice you running out of weights to do. this looks good! the weights looking sweet ! @TAGII
I nearly brought one of those
good work on the training @TAGII Good to see someone doing ass to grass. That's the way squatting should be.
@TAGII the squats are on point. maybe the only thing you can improve on is keep the feet more at a 45 degree angle and not slanted. but that is just me being picky lol
@Mobster the cybex press or the power squat?
I have terrible mobility lol that’s the only way I can get my hips to open up. I know I’m giving up some quad activation but it’s better than being that guy doing quarter squats cause I can’t go lower
@BodyMonster34 I am loving the iron plates in this gym. On the leg press I used 100lbs plate 2 on each side and the added 45’s.
This is a really good training session, man. 630 is incredible. You're pushing some big weights, got very strong legs.@TAGII
@ROIDDERS Thank you sir! My wife always says “is that all you are going to do?” So it motivates me to to do more cause I don’t want that to be “all I’m doing” lol
that is a good wife. She knows how to motivate you.@ROIDDERS Thank you sir! My wife always says “is that all you are going to do?” So it motivates me to to do more cause I don’t want that to be “all I’m doing” lol
Definitely
Bros, you looking really good on these exercises. I'm very impressed.@TAGII Keep up the good work and keep grinding.
you will get there!
@TAGII looking very strong bro! Shifting serious weight!
gotta stretch and work on that. you will end up with hip issues as you ageI have terrible mobility lol that’s the only way I can get my hips to open up. I know I’m giving up some quad activation but it’s better than being that guy doing quarter squats cause I can’t go lower

bro hell yeah, the iron makes me strong@BodyMonster34 I am loving the iron plates in this gym. On the leg press I used 100lbs plate 2 on each side and the added 45’s.
This gym is small but it has plenty of weight!
@TAGII the training pics are killer! Looking like a beast for sure! You’re putting up some impressive weight also
@2Thick had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis when I was a kid. My joints look like an 80 year old man lol. I just work around itgotta stretch and work on that. you will end up with hip issues as you age
@ballin2504 thank you sir!
ah okay that makes sense sucks
Love those old pieces
Incline work with 225 for 4 sets of 10 is solid volume, weight is right in that sweet spot for size. Chest press stack with 210 and bumping to 250 shows strength carrying over, the drop set after was a good finisher. Flies hitting 150 for 12 is no joke, that’s heavy tension on the pecs. The last movement with 60s for high reps rounds it out well, chest got hammered from all angles. @TAGII

That id an awesome machine!
You're getting thick as well from the pics I've seen
Pics look really good Bru
Deadlifts moving for sets of 7 and 8 at 415 is strong pulling, that’s a solid base of strength. Hammer rows stacking to 3 plates for clean sets backs it up well, good mix of heavy compounds and machine volume. Cable rows finishing heavy at 260 then backing off for reps is the right way to load the back, you’re progressing well.
Pressing and laterals look strong, pushing 60s for reps on the cybex and still getting volume with drop sets is solid shoulder work. Rear delts were loaded heavy too, hitting 240 on the pec deck shows you’re building density there. Arms look balanced, curls consistent in the mid 30s and preacher work with 100 for clean sets is no joke, triceps finishing heavy ties it together well.
@TAGII
Big numbers here, moving 900 on the power squat for reps is no joke and following with solid volume on leg press keeps the load high. That kind of weight will drive leg growth fast as long as recovery and food are lined up.
what did you eat today? @TAGII
Machine right?
legs is on point. the power squat and leg press is amazing. keep up the good work @TAGII
@TAGII bro good training dayum. 900 pounds? you are a real man
you are looking fantastic on this one @TAGII legs are on point. the power squat is outstanding
@TAGII The leg training is also hard training. it definitely is what separates the pretenders from the real winners. Glad to see it.
bros this some good training if you ask me. very STRONG the way you throw that iron around. very tough to stop you @TAGII
Very proud of you on the leg training. @TAGII Not only did you hit some power squats, but you also followed it up with some leg pressing.
That’s roughly around 250 to 270g protein, 260 to 300g carbs, and 60 to 70g fat putting you in the 2800 to 3k calorie range. Solid protein from eggs, chicken and the double meat sub, carbs mostly from belvita, rice and the bread, fats spread from the eggs and cookies. Not a bad setup if the goal is holding size and leaning up slow.
I had to guess but not bad @TAGII
@LevButlerov Yesterday was a little low for me. Normally when I go to subway I will get two subs but on of the guys that works for me brought me lunch so I didn’t complain. I try to be closer to 4500-5000 calories.That’s roughly around 250 to 270g protein, 260 to 300g carbs, and 60 to 70g fat putting you in the 2800 to 3k calorie range.

That’s still a solid day of eating even if you felt low, that burger with fries alone packs a big hit and the sandwiches on top keep the protein moving. Collagen shake is fine but I’d throw in a whey or casein too since collagen doesn’t give much for muscle. If you’re pushing 4500-5000 cals regularly you’ll be in a good spot, another sandwich before bed makes sense and keeps it easy.
Strong pressing with those dumbbells, 90s for 13 is big especially before even touching barbell. That 315x2 shows the strength is there but the elbow flaring up is what’s cutting it, you might need to swap some of the heavy flat work for higher rep pressing until it calms down. Good volume on flys and the chest press after, arms looked covered with those preacher sets and dip machine numbers. Solid session overall, just manage the elbow so it doesn’t stall your pressing.
@TAGII dang brother you put the work in in those legs this time. Way to kill it.

Good work Bru
Chest and shoulders look pumped in that pic, all the pressing volume clearly hit hard. Incline smith and heavy chest press numbers are strong, and finishing with dips and pec deck locked in the pump. Arms getting work in between rounds tied it together, solid chest day overall.

I really love your volume, though I see no push ups or did I miss? @TAGII
Looking pretty damned good
@TAGII keep up the hard work man. the upper body looks yolked. those arms are popping like a champion!
bros you always bringing the heat @TAGII arms are the size of a watermelon. looking huge and ripped!
good job on this man. upper body training is on point. the physique is jacked! @TAGII
@TAGII the physique looks outstanding. make sure you are hitting those legs too. the upper body is where it needs to be
the arms are HUGE! Not only that but they are extremely lean. @TAGII You are showing why you are a lean mean fighting machine.
