Video/Documentary (Until Episodes Run Out):


I was not used to this high volume/long workout duration but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely need at least one other person to lift with on this day for a spot on some of the barbell benching but it felt really good overall. Fatigue set in near the end so it didn't bother me too much. Definitely feeling the effects of not enough sleep later on in the day.

Saw Toy Story 3 with my GF and it was pretty good but could have been better IMO...nothing will ever beat the original.

[baco_bacon]

Now whenever people mention not locking out, I always think of Wolf-Baron's video lmao

Really good workout Kyle, jealous of your incline. I'm happy that I just hit 135 and here you are repping it out like it's pussy weight haha

lulz, thanks my incline movements have been moving up fairly fast, im not too worried about the weights im pushing on hypertrophy days as much as i am muscle-mind connection/form

by not locking out on bench etc i am referring to the form in this video:

(Around 1:00):








Going to bed in a bit, have to wake up fairly early to lift then gonna go to my buddy's grad party for a bit then starting first day as a busboy lulz.

[Champc98]

Wow, that looked intense. Must have have been a shock coming from Max-OT. This routine looks awesome and good work man.

[Blake_2010]

Dude that's so much more volume compared to Max-OT. Definitely was probably a big shock to your body. Brb posting past few workouts in log. Check it tomorrow brah.

Video/Documentary (Until Episodes Run Out):


I do my back workouts very specific and have recently found the exercises that worked for me so only did a few of the ones that RJ selected.

Worked out with Dan, Jay had to work. Very solid workout, pretty impressed with my endurance throughout.

Decided I'm not going to sign up at the other gym, and just bought a 3 month at my gym (already paid for one month and they had a deal so just had to pay $35 more...very good price and the other gym, while better is just not necessary. If I am scheduled to lift and my main gym is closed, I will most likely just use the other one and sign-up for a month or two but the startup fee is like $50 fuuuuuuuuu.

Got my Scivation Xtend....zomg best tasting supplement I have ever used (srs). Refreshing watermelon ftw.

Have to go to my buddy's grad party for a bit then work @ 5...first day at bussing let's see how it is. Be back around 10ish.

[xKyle10]

I'm liking the new log!

thanks B

Strong past few workouts bro! Awaiting hypertrophy workout 95mins must have been intense.

Haha thanks man it seems they are all going to be around 90 minutes or so for the hypertrophy and like 45 minutes for the power days.

Wow, that looked intense. Must have have been a shock coming from Max-OT. This routine looks awesome and good work man.

Yeah dude definitely a shock but thats a good thing.

Dude that's so much more volume compared to Max-OT. Definitely was probably a big shock to your body. Brb posting past few workouts in log. Check it tomorrow brah.

Still adjusting to it and will check it out when I get a chance

New journal is BALLER man. Keep it up!

thank you sir

Holy sh*t at volume man, definately would be burnt out

Usually green mag and now xtend keeps me at it along with an energy drink or velocity xt (pre-workout energy supp) allows me to have maximum intensity for the duration haha yes supp whore.

how do u like all this volume, you adjusting to it?

Definitely like it a lot more than max-ot, still intense as hell but for double the time and not going as heavy. Allows me to work on proper form/MMC better (muscle mind connection)

diggin this rjperkins split so far brotha man, looks good!

thanks Jon, technically it should be called the "Kyle Wood split" because I am changing a lot of exercises minus the power days haha

Diggin the new volume brah, feels good amiright?

Indeed it does good sir

[Champc98]

[Vizag_Lifter]

Aren't underhand pullups the same thing as chinups?

[baco_bacon]

Strong pullups man.

Aren't underhand pullups the same thing as chinups?

[xKyle10]

Strong pullups man.

Aren't underhand pullups the same thing as chinups?

EDIT: At least I thought so lol



Fuuuu 50 x 12 DB Shoulder Presss.....................................

[Wolf-Baron]

[Wolf-Baron]

brb lifting in pants

<3

dude you have no idea lol

jeans feel comfortable as sh*t when I lift.
If I ever want to break a PR, it would have to be in jeans

[xHoward]

Looks great in here Kyle. Pressing movements are pretty strong even with all that volume. Good call on not locking out. It seems to keep constant tension on the chest and increases the MMC.
