yep yep, fun and easier

I'm in such a wanna-bake mood......not a huge fan of cake, but this one looks delicious. "Heaven and Hell Cake"...devil's food, angel food, peanut butter mousse:

Needs more PB mousse though

The fun had was rediculous....but if I had some of that cake, it would have been PERFECT

Much More PB moose....though the weekend had a couple of "tiny" mini disasters if you catch my drift.

LittleMan55 · 07-01-2009, 03:56 AM

Solid delt sesh! The hard work is definitely showing in the pics bro.

keels141 · 07-01-2009, 04:03 AM

Good sesh mate, and glad to hear you had a good time at Tahoe. That lake looks very nice. I find when I have a time constraint at the gym I seem to have a much more productive workout, much more intense. You sound pretty busy these days mate!

soundcheck129 · 07-01-2009, 05:11 AM

Whoo you're back! Who's the jacked dude in the pics?

lorinelise · 07-01-2009, 07:01 AM

Quick workouts FTW! Looks like Tahoe was aweosme

Lazy days here in MD lately. Nice pictures, now post moar!!!

Oh and lol @ "tiny" disasters

Xhale12 · 07-01-2009, 07:14 AM

Awesome pics man! I bet you had a great time out there. Nice delt session as well. 25 min workouts FTW. God Bless!

The Arabic · 07-01-2009, 07:16 AM

Dude - you have changed a great deal - still one keto (too lazy to read the entire thread).

DTrulez616 · 07-01-2009, 07:21 AM

Glad to hear you had a good time. You wasted no time getting right back at though with a quick session, solid. YO YO YO!!!

cyde · 07-01-2009, 07:22 AM

Excellent. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Lake Tahoe. My weekend was great as well, but now it's time for me to catch up on the logs.

New pics! You are looking 100% better than the last set I've seen, and I'm not just saying that. More mass on your frame definitely suits you, and you have the strength to back it up. Looking swole with clothes > abs

If I had more time I would have rested between sets a bit more so the heavy sets would be more productive, but meh. Very busy these days ...

Thank you sir, no keto.....low carb and I don't mix as in, it's not optimal. It's EASY though so I'm not ruling out going back to some low carb thing.

Wow you're right, that swirly face you're making IS weird!

So last night....cranky boyfriend + hyper love-craving German Shepherd + crying when Achilles dies even though I've seen it 12582872347 times (Troy

) + early workday = Fail at texting back

Xhale12 · 07-03-2009, 07:29 AM

Awesome pics man. I have to check out tahoe sometimes. Was your girlfriend there with you? How have you 2 been? God Bless!

LayzieBone085 · 07-03-2009, 09:38 AM

Oh he busted out the sax!

You should see the kind of swirls I can do during the day, not at night

That's fine, and funny -- I don't think I've seen troy except where Pitt fights that big guy and takes him out in one slice....epic. I need to watch it! I love that time period. Crankyness ftl but hyperpuppy must have made up for it.... a tad?

Thanks bro and you know it, I take her everywhere lol -- it was actually an "anniversary" gift for her, that and a violin she's wanted since she was 4 but never said anything about it....talk about water works and infinite good boyfriend points

That I did! it was a great idea me thinks. Nothing like playing outside at night on a beach....second night I drew a sizeable audience

.....

MarkVI · 07-03-2009, 12:42 PM

Back

WOW I felt like total crap this morning....

BB rows - underhand

135 x 20
225 x 15 (PR I guess)
225 x 12
275 x 8 (PR)
225 x 12 RP 6 RP 3 Drop to 135 x 12 RP 6 RP 3

Yeah I was frustrated and such so I made a less than wise training move I guess...

Wide Grip Lat PullDowns

120 x 12
120 x 12
135 x 10
150 x 6 Drop to 105 x 20 (widowmaker)

Seated Cable "low" row Super set with face pulls

105 x 12 --- --- ? x 15
120 x 10 --- --- ? x 15
120 x 8 --- --- ? x 15
120 x 8 --- --- ? x 15

Rear Delt Flyes

10's x ~ 15
15's x ~ 15 RP x 8 RP 5
15's x ~ 10 Drop to 10 x failure --- --- back to face pull x failure

DB rows -- NO rest, just back and forth

Wanted to try this....kind of like a RP Giant set

85 x 10
85 x 6
85 x 4

Per side, as pretty good!

I have been having some lat "achyness" issues, I got them in Tahoe swimming, last night at work moving stuff around....so I went less volume and didn't do the extreme stretches which is what I think may be doing it....they're not recovering properly etc....

This morning I not only felt down physically but also mentally, until I grabbed the iron in my 3rd set of rows, then it all changed.

I feel AWESOME now and will hopefully be going back for some cardio/biceps right before work but most likely I'll just go on a stroll in the 90 degree hot weather to grab an ice cold drink at the store ~ 1-2 miles away so....yeah.

LayzieBone085 · 07-03-2009, 12:49 PM

I sometimes get that too.. wake up.. feel like junk.. dont feel like doing much.. go smash a session and hit a PR and feel like a million bucks.. good feeling isnt it

?

Mirin' those rows dude 275x8

Good workout alex, back is looking wide.

How do you think your intensity level is for your workouts? Sweating after the first few sets? Do you think your progress so far is where it should be?

Do you use monkey-grip for pull-ups, pull downs, etc? I feel it alot more when I use that grip.

Just getting things rolling...

fgfan1 · 07-03-2009, 08:05 PM

hey man, very nice workout log you have here- very nice workout today too btw, damn 275 barbell rows are insane. loads of pr's even after vacation- you're a beast. feel free to stop in my log any time for questions/comments

Fitto13 · 07-03-2009, 08:22 PM

I'd feel awesome too with those rows man!!

How you liking the underhand grip??
