Destroying the Pendulum - Mission: Steady Progress

[NaturalPursuit]

215 lbs (60% of his 1RM) w/ 60 second rest between sets

That rest period must have killed!

[Bnizzle163]

Lol guys, I didn't die . I've been fighting a cold for the past couple days so just laying low. Feel like blah.

[NaturalPursuit]

Hope you feel better bro! Loading up on anything to help with the cold?

The gf brought me some crazy ginger tea remedy that helped tremendously. I'm back in the gym and killing it . Down 6lbs from 204 to 198 and looking pretty tight. Trying to get things to single digit body fat before I hop back on the gain train. I was up to (estimated) 14.5% and now it says 13.2, so heading in the right direction!!

Definitely would be interested in what it was haha!

Solid plan! Growing at a leaner physique is much more productive

Some Highlights

Down to 196.6lbs! Lost roughly 8lbs so far.

Hit 315x6x3 on squat followed by 275x8 (paused last rep and BARELY got out of the hole lol) - Inna saw that one

Rocked 275x9, then 285 for 2 sets of 6 with a slower tempo on bench, which is down a little but I'm 12lbs lighter than my high weigh in.

Can see all of my abs again, though they're not "popping."

Cardio twice a week has really helped with higher rep work.

Girlfriend is stronger than me. FML.

[NaturalPursuit]

Solid progress dude!

LMAO! Whats the girlfriend stronger at?!

Thanks, broham!

She's just stronger willed. Doesn't quit lol. We did a 30 work set leg workout the other day and she didn't complain once. Did EVERY set and exercise I did. 1 hour and 20 minutes of blasting it!

Here you go my Eskimo brotha!

[Bnizzle163]

Proud boyfriend is proud .

[Bnizzle163]

Haven't updated much. Still hovering around 196 this week, doing 400 cal cardio 2x's a week. Taking in roughly 3k calories and losing .75-1lb a week on average.

I hit 275 for 9 on bench the other day at 196, which I'm cool with.

I was doing the 110's on a moderate incline for sets of 8 on push hypertrophy day.

280 for sets of 12 on leg hypertophy day.

Things are moving pretty well. I'm hoping to get into single digit BF before adding more size. Let's get it .

[jaredmus]

So keeping all the strength I'd say things are going well then!
