I've been eyeballing my meals as well. Weight gain was a little faster than I would like, but seems to have trailed off. I've added ice cream and Halloween candy all month and still haven't gained all that much. Gonna make a better effort to carb up before both volume and intensity days.
Gotta say - it's great to have you back man!My Journal (RIP 05/11 - 09/13):

RPT - Squats - November 11, 2012
Barbell Squat:
45 lb x 10 reps (+42 pts)
135 lb x 8 reps (+75 pts)
225 lb x 4 reps (+110 pts)
265 lb x 3 reps (+127 pts)
295 lb x 1 reps (+106 pts)
[static hold: 385 - 10 secs]
325 lb x 1.75 reps (+160 pts)
295 lb x 3 reps (+155 pts)
295 lb x 3 reps (+155 pts)
Working on form a good bit cause my depth has sucked lately. Legs wider out. Can feel it in the groinal region already
the 1.5 rep was weird. i came out of the hole just fine. i think i let off the gas (unintentionally) a bit because i got more than half way up and was doing fine and then all of the sudden got stuck higher than what would usually be the sticking point. once i started driving hard again, however, i apparently overcompensated in my left leg and started having that side of the bar drive forward getting me in a twisting position. the balance and the integrity of my back's positioning were completely compromised so i bailed for safety.
didn't keep pyramiding down because i wanted the intensity more than the volume. i tried doing a static hold but it did more harm than good, i think. the issue areas were my left shoulder and my elbows, they were real tender after that with each set which made it hard (read: impossibur) to stay tight in the upper back and thus made the weight feel heavier rather than lighter. oh well.
Chin-Up:
5 reps (+32 pts)
5 reps || weighted || 25 lb (+47 pts)
5 reps || weighted || 25 lb (+47 pts)
cliffs: good session overall. didn't want to be out there at all cause the holiday, so i feel good about it considering my mental fight. hope everyone had a good thanksgiving.A better read than 50 Shades of Gray and Twilight combined, srsbrah: http://tinyurl.com/jblylifts

ha, thanks man. i was expecting worse, actually. nearly immediately after the sesh i had that growing pains type of dull ache, but today i feel good. can tell i worked, but not any true/inconvenient soreness aside from left side of my lower back/upper butt which i guess is from the stabalization ordeal that went down during that weird failed second rep.
ya, idk what i'll do in the future w/ them. in the past i sorta did them by way of bb calf raises or squat lockouts, but i always did them after i was done with my squat session. in those cases it was a general CNS adaptation thing (instead of immediate and preparatory) and the elbow/shoulder deal didn't matter cause i was done for the day after finishing them up. this go round it seems to have done at least as much, if not more, harm than good.
oh well. live and learn.

185 lb x 10 reps (+40 pts)
185 lb x 10 reps (+40 pts)
135 lb x 20 reps (+32 pts)
In a rush to get to a wedding, ~30 second rest in between each.
cliffs: hoooooly crap. my elbows were killing me. my first rep of 160 came straight down onto my chest cause my elbows were screaming during the bottom of my descent. i'm guessing it's from the heavy static holds the other day on squats. caused them to get pretty tender that day. i've gotta start downing the fish oil again, too, to help offset this kind of thing.
besides the elbows and being rushed (heading to a wedding), the session was good. would've had more for the AMRAP sets had it not been so painful. i was bullheaded to get as many as i did. i'm sure that'll pay off in the long run. deads tomorrow, first real session in 3 weeks, can't wait!A better read than 50 Shades of Gray and Twilight combined, srsbrah: http://tinyurl.com/jblylifts

Here's hoping that it's from the squats. Speaking of taking fish oil, I need to get back on that supplement time. Also known as multis and fish oils...

RPT - Deads - November 25, 2012
Barbell Deadlift:
45 lb x 10 reps (+42 pts)
135 lb x 10 reps (+77 pts)
225 lb x 6 reps (+128 pts)
315 lb x 3 reps (+178 pts)
375 lb x 1 reps (+182 pts)
415 lb x 3 reps (+349 pts)
375 lb x 4 reps (+303 pts)
these felt great. haven't had a legit dead sesh in 3 weeks! better still, the gym (normally completely empty on sundays) was full of some real bros. was gratifying to destroy 415, first rep flew up.
Hammer Dumbbell Curl:
20 lb x 15 reps (+19 pts)
20 lb x 15 reps (+19 pts)
20 lb x 15 reps (+19 pts)
20 lb x 15 reps (+19 pts)
jeez, elbows still tender. so much that i couldn't do normal curl. brb, overdosing on fish oil.
Barbell Shrug Superset:
135 lb x 10 reps (+29 pts)
135 lb x 10 reps (+29 pts)
135 lb x 10 reps (+29 pts)
135 lb x 10 reps (+29 pts)
slow, 1-2 second hold at top. wanted to make up for my quick shoulder hit yesterday without overdoing it since i did do some yesterday.
cliffs: great session. deads felt super strong. 375 was easy breezy. first working rep flew up really well, too. 3 was more a grinder than i'd have guessed considering the first two reps. i'll chalk it up to tiredness. been pulling the night shift w/ our kid the past few nights. was up w/ him from 345 to 630 this morning before catching a quick hour nap before heading to worship.
and, like i mentioned above, there were half a dozen bros in there. made me a bit more nervous as to whether or not i was up for the working set since i hadn't touched it in a few weeks. they were certainly all eye balling me. when i looked up at the mirror before pulling it i could see everyone watching, lol. two of the dudes walked around bowed up the whole time, coaching each other during their to-failure, partial-rep tricep pushdowns. another guy knee-bended 315 with his spandex shorts for the lolz.
but, though it was real gratifying, it was also slightly demoralizing cause they were all really stout. i'm busting my arse here and stay relatively skinny-fat. laaaaaame.
in it for the long game, though, so it's all good. great session!A better read than 50 Shades of Gray and Twilight combined, srsbrah: http://tinyurl.com/jblylifts

no need to be jelly, brah, they're just my jam.
thanks man. they've just been real achey, quasi-tendonitis'ish lately. i think the big increase in benching (and changing back to bb bench at that) had gotten them a bit worn and then the other day i did some static holding before squatting and i really felt them take too much pressure/weight at that point so they've been terribly sore during workouts since then.A better read than 50 Shades of Gray and Twilight combined, srsbrah: http://tinyurl.com/jblylifts

notes: not much to say besides elbows feeling a ton better, no real issues there. wrist wraps help to alleviate that pain point, too. huge pump on AMRAP set. 10 wouldn't have white-lighted. i was seriously at like 99% lockout, just could actually 'click' it in, but was high enough to re-rack it, ha. anyone else totally let their butts go wild the last 3-5 reps of your AMRAP? at about 7 reps in my hips/butt were flying all over the place to get the job done! ohwell, work is work.A better read than 50 Shades of Gray and Twilight combined, srsbrah: http://tinyurl.com/jblylifts

325 has been a sticking point lately so i dropped it down to work on things a bit better. had a marine buddy with me who helped me stay more upright, was nice to have the help and motivation, thus the repeat of 275 instead of another taper down
