Yeah intensifiers like NOS sets, myo-reps, drop sets, etc.

I wouldn't do negatives on rows�in terms of lat activation, its not your best option

@ Fatboy - Good stuff as well buddy. That true grit protein is some great tasting stuff man. I've made some recommendations on it with some buddies!!

Right on brother..THANK YOU so much!!

<<<<------------- this guy left MT
sounds good to me brother been too long. could hit the gym and grab some food.

Sad to hear but regardless, i hope nothing but the best for you brother. I'll definitely be getting a hold of you soon and making this happen!

Loving your perspective on this. Keep lifting y'all, the god of Iron will surely bestow blessings upon those most gainzful.

Thank you...haha...nice!

Been going to the gym with a 10/10 mindset but ending with a piss-poor performance.
Did Rack Pulls as you (papi93) suggested. . was aiming for 405's for 8-16reps, but only got 315's for a few What the hell

[Swuuu]

FBS- Kicking azz in the gym like always man. Like the vid too!!

Did calves and arms tonight as well. . first time they surpassed my mentality for back
Went to the gym with full intentions to break a PR on BOTH rows and deadlifts. . ended up with lifts that I don't even consider working sets

Hey man summer is coming up don't want skinny calves sticking out of your shorts now do you? . Sorry to hear about everything that has been going on. Hope things get better for you!!

Looks like you have had a few good sessions lately though

I've definitely considered this..but never tried it since I felt awkward heh..BRIAN just now told me about bands

I will be on a mission to use bands soon >

Chains are pretty good to for the sticking point on deads just like for bench. Glad your toe is ok!!

Very solid leg day the other day!!

. . .



The Muscle-Building Trainer one Went with your 5day split recommendation. . hope all goes well~


mamma jamma =____=
Haha but hope for a speedy recovery for your dog!

loolllllllll laughed so hard at this gif my stomach started hurting. You should go around asking people if they need anyone to have gifs designed for their websites or other forms of social media. You would be perfect for some kind of gif job lol.

[koweanguy]

Overtrained perhaps?

Perhaps :/
The biggest impact was definitely meal timing. 'Cause of work I would eat a hefty meal around 2pm and lift around 8pm. . basically lifting on an empty stomach
A bit of a radical move but after 3 years with this job. . I'm going to quit actually next month to make a clearer path to getting the physique I want

Keep pluggin away at it Brian, gainz will come

Das it mane..CONSISTENCY!!!

BOOM! Got a PR last Friday AND a gritty session tonight

Had a solid Calves session for both Friday and today

In for gritty workouts

Awww rightttt!!
Always room for gritty people sir!!

[koweanguy]

Last week was rough. Had 4 consecutive days of piss-poor performance at the gym but things began to turn around last Friday~

For Last Friday's Bicep/Calves session, I had a good mind-muscle connection especially with the Seated Dumbbell Curls.
Sneaked in a quick bench session at the end of my workout. . and got a PR Woot woot!! 50reps x 135lbs for Flat Bench. Previous PR was 43 heh

Would call this a 10/10 session!!

And now tonight's session. . it was Legs =______=
Oh geesh. . Yoojungl did Back/Bi tonight but decided to squeeze in a few sets of Deadlifts. . apparently, 185's are easy for her
She's a keeper. . yup yup

That's some great work volume Brian! Awesome to press out 135 x 50 .... I'm happy to press 5
Killer doing legs and deads on the same day as well: that drop set on the squats is just sick and that's one I'd love to be able to build up to, and huge volume for deadlifts ..... 15 x 225 You know that was one of the CrossFit Open challenges to start with 55 x 225 deads

I love that squat pic .... heavy weight on the bar and you just look so totally focussed!
Great vid of the OH DB extensions as well .... really tight form. How do you like those compression bands for the elbow?

[koweanguy]

Severe case of bronchitis w/ Yoojungl the past few days zzz
The cons of having a brutal Deadlift Day :/
Will update as soon as we are back to sanity
