continue to build up the muscle memory that's what you have to do to build the base

That's the plan, steady as she goes, I do want to get to the "finish line" of my goal physique and strength as quickly as possible. But want to ultimately stick with all this for so long that it is lifestyle change for me. Feeling the best I ever felt. No neck pain in weeks now. (knock on wood*) I am the strongest I have ever felt and I'm wearing the wifey out.
Feel like the Six Million Dollar Man-We can rebuild him, We can make him stronger, We have the technology.

More weight on the farmers - like 60lbs then 100lbs

Next round I do on carries I will do the 60lbs, probably going to want to rip my arms off from the pump I get in my forearms. Pretty damn intense as it is with the 40lb'rs. But, I seen a quote the other day that has been sticking with me. - YOU EARN YOUR BODY! - and buddy I'm feeling like $$$ right now. Challenge excepted!

Going to try to push it an still do 60ft/10 rounds 4 sets. Ill update

 

[DiabolicalGainz]

Ordered more plates, 50lbs total/ 4-10lbs and 2-5lbs, and a 25lbs weighted vest. Wish my wallet was feeling like Six Million Dollars, lol Buying workout shit adds up quick.

Try and find used equipment it's not expensive

 

[2Thick]

new weight training equipment is going to be very pricey

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

I remember I ordered 45 pound rubber weights the shipping alone was like 150 dollars lol

 

[Wootoom]

look for discounts on weight training equipment from gyms that closed or from people in your town who want to get rid of their stuff

 

[JasonPriest]

you definitely have to remember it will take months and years to build up muscle memory

Shit goes fast around here or your driving fucking 4 hours round trip to try to maybe get it. Had a fucker sell a press machine while I was driving to meet him. Great idea though I always have my eyes pealed for the deals.

@DiabolicalGainz leg press got sold or chest press?

@DiabolicalGainz leg press got sold or chest press?

It was a leg press, I believe it was Titan brand. He was only wanting like $100 for it. Had cash in hand. Pulled up to this dudes house to his apologies and excuses. Said a family member called him right before I got there and he was going to sell to them instead.

Looking at this as a lifestyle change is the exact right mindset.

WORKOUT- 5/09/2024
Cardio 2 mile on treadmill, 3.5mph speed/no incline

Delts-Triceps-Biceps-Forearms
Cable Pull Downs Ropes(High) - 40lbs 20reps 4 sets/LSTF 23
Lat. Pull Downs - 50lbs 20reps 4 sets/LSTF
Close Grip Bench Press - 150lbs 2reps/120 10 reps 3 sets/ Straight sets NEW PLATES
Seated Dumbbell Lat. Raise - 20lbs/e 20reps/Straight set
Preacher Curls - 30lbs/e 15reps 4 sets/Straight set
Incline Pronated High Row - 15 lbs/e 20 reps 4 sets/ LSTF 24
Forearm Curls - 20lbs/e 25reps 4 sets/LSTF 31

Got my plates! Put all of them on as soon as I got them and tried 1 rep. It felt like I could do more. So I kept it loaded for my workout. I got 2 good solid reps with it loaded, I do feel like I could maybe push 1-2 more out but 1 RIR isn’t bad for growth. I’d like to push it and see. You will surprise yourself sometimes. Thought you were gassed out but put up 5-10 more reps. Either way fucking awesome workout. Feeling stronger everyday, and can finally see my body slightly changing. It’s a great ego boost gets me motivated and keeps me focused.

The only bad workout is the one that didn't happen.
