NOTES:
-feeling insanely strong, looking insanely big, and REALLY feeling tremendous in general!
-first time I rolled up my long pants during calves to see the work that has been done on them...needless to say...I was pretty happy with their progress!!! Still a long way to go to get them to where I WANT THEM
-post workout stretching and foam rolling has been amazing! I can almost do a front split, side split is coming along, I can bend my body into an upside U on the floor, I can kick my legs above my head, my depth on exercises have improved dramatically, and so much more! TAKE YOUR STRETCHING SERIOUS! The benefits have been amazing!

Yeah sams it where its at! Gotta be careful though as some things they cheat you on.
On off days, I keep my macros the same. The rest days are where your body needs the calories to grow...the workout days are where your body needs the calories to use for the workout. Just how I feel about it...been doing it this way and progress has been incredible!!!advertising not permitted

yeah i agree, i just have a hard time justifying calories (mentally) when i'm mostly sedentary on days off... goes with the fear of getting fat i guess lol
keep the extra notes coming! it's a good way to give us insight into your current focused thoughts. i completely agree about the stretching and foam rolling too. i can tell SO MUCH of a difference on days where i don't foam roll. sadly i don't usually have a lot of time to roll PWO, so i always say i'll do it later, and it never happens. i'm trying to get in the habit of it more but you know how well a schedule like we run can put the kabash on something like that..."The weak-minded would shrink away from what must be done for fear of being ridiculed by the wicked" - Terry Goodkind

Eh, no need to worry about the extra cals bro! All needed to grow! you can drop the fat later lol
And as for stretching and foam rolling...for me to be able to fit it in with my schedule I just make it as much a priority as my workout...tough sometimes but I make it work.
Goodluck trying to schedule it to work man! It does take a lot of planning but WELL worth it!!!

Thanks man! It was crazy hard...gotta hit 225x8x3...WILL HAPPEN...
And yeah it takes a while to get used to...for every exercise that I do...I focus SOLELY on the targeted area I'm trying to work...once you get that MMC on your quads over your lower back its a tremendous exercise!! Hacks are great tho...wish my gym had a good one...the one they have has a pad you put at your lower back...BLOWS for hacks but is tremendous for calves!
Haha...and I had my 3rd back session of the week today
Thanks man! Gotta get stronger...wider...thicker...BETTER...
