How is the machine training holding up for you? Do you miss barbells or dumbbells?

[wave_length]

Back/Biceps (Last Friday):

- Close Grip Cable Pull Downs: 13 x 100kg
- Situp Superset

[wave_length]

I stopped training for the whole week. Felt I needed a complete break.

It's more a matter of what I can do without pain. I miss dumbbells because I like DB training.

Chest/Triceps (Monday):

- Seated Bench Press: 5 x 120kg
- Situp superset

Slowly starting again with the training. After the rest week, I feel better again. Will still only do very short training sessions this week.

Back/Biceps (Tuesday):

- Close Grip Cable Pull Downs: 10 x 100kg
- Situp Superset

Rest day yesterday. Just had no time since I was very busy the last few weeks. Will probably do two light training sessions today and tomorrow and hopefully resume training in full capacity next week. But it's OK, the body needed some rest anyway after 1 year of 5 days / week training.

5 days a week of weight training? Did you do one body part a day?

Hey Wave!

Good to see you back at it! Quick question, I'm been cutting for the last eight months with excellent success following your rules, but recently, my strength gains have plateaued working out three times a week, what do you suggest to get over the hump? Lowering the weight and doing more reps? Taking a week off? Changing exercises?

Thanks!

Hey there, I would try all of the above. Start with the one you find most likely to work.

[wave_length]

Just a quick update since I haven't been active for a while: I'm very busy right now and will probably not be updating for a few weeks. I think I'm still a little overtrained so I'll go easy for now. Will start updating again ASAP.

[iDrive]

Hey man, good to see you around. How are things? Dream physique already achieved?

And wow, 28yo, another old fart.

Yeah, can't outrun time... the cardio will destroy my gainz

Far from my ideal physique, I moved into a new job where I travel a lot and it's hard to get the motivation to eat right and train in hotel gyms. Not completely out of shape but muscle has gone down and weight has gone up. Cardio fitness is also up though Trying to get into a schedule with the weight training again, using your log for inspiration!

Not really overworked since I don't work anymore. But had to do quite some research for investment decisions.

And traveling a lot can be tough, I (used to) know.

[nads786]

How are you researching for investment opportunities? I know this has nothing to do with lifting but very curious.

[DocJekyll]

Hey man. Just checking in. Take a little lay off? Or just not posting?

How's it going?

Internet, books, friends in the same position, mainly.

Took a little break but back into it since beginning of this week.

[zDanTheMan]

No more updates??

[wave_length]

No more updates??

Came back from vacation and then had surgery for a dental implant so just training lightly for the moment.
I'm old, my body starts to fall apart.

[JustBulk]

hi?

[wave_length]

I'm slacking, I know. It's just not my top priority right now.

[wave_length]

Quick update: after a few struggles like hernia surgery and torn back, I‘m back. This time bigger and stronger than ever with the goal of repeating my condition from 10 years ago but with roughly 15lbs more muscle mass. I'm in week 7 of my shredz, dieted down from 187lbs to currently 174lbs.





I hope to be shredded at about 165lbs.

[Ric_Daddy]

How’s it going now? Are you still training?

Would love to see another thread like this from you.

Well maybe I‘ll start another one.
Still training, 6 times a week, 51 yo.
