1 Year to leave "Do I even lift?" Status.

[Gibb1991]

Haha no man i dont take risks like that deathly afraid of catchin anything if u went on vacation anywhere would u take a chance like that even with a tourist?

Ehhh tough call. As of right now I'm gonna say no (although if it was a fellow tourist and I had a condom probably yes) but if it was a local just seems like something is wrong lol.
But then again if shes right there I'll probably just go for it..

Nice man. I can't wait for reading week, I'm eating 1750 calories a day but not loosing fat anymore (hitting PRs everyworkout so I'm wondering if I found the recomp range of calories) so I know I'll have to add cardio. Reading week I'm gonna basically be chilling, summarizing some chapters, and working out. So glad I don't have any assignments this year.
Going down town tonight looking for depressed girls, I suggest you do the same

Was a weird night. DT was dead so the rumours I had heard were un true. My friend wanted to get some McDonald's so we did, and while we were there we got three girls phone numbers lol. So random tbh.

Before that I did a quick chest workout, this was after barely eating all day because I was at school 8 am- 630 pm and I was exhausted, but still fairly decent weights moved.

Super set with decline DB flies with 25 lbs till failure
Hammerstrength flat bench

haha man wat a weird night eh, well just reached jamaica. when we were driving there was a coconut stand on the side of the street, dude had a machete slashed the coconut and put a straw and drink out of it. the motto here is "no problem", everybody is chill. There are a lot of exotic foods, juices jamaican apple, june plumb. had coconut ice cream, so relaxing haha. An uncle offered me to smoke, so it was pretty funny everything is so at ease.

[MilkBender]

Sup MB, good to have you back. Thing's are good, shoulder is 95% better, I just can't flat bench but DB press and DB bench are fine. Cutting atm, sick of being chubby lol.
Picked up some Cookies and Cream whey by ON, tastes like chit unless mixed with coffee and splenda, which happens to be the way I drink 90% of my protein anyways so it's ok. Also got some No Xplode which is amazing overall.

This has nothing to do with working out but my professor posted this announcement and I thought he was a real cheeky kunt, " Your midterm will be February 14th, from 5-7 pm. I apologize again for wrecking your Valentine's Day dinner plans, but hey, Statistics has been around forever and you've only been dating that guy for a few months.

nice, give us some picture updates. can't fap to your log all day :3

I started doing DB bench and shoulder press a while ago, I can appreciate your db bench/press now. 55x10 bench was super hard, and 45x8 press was pretty hard lol


also strong professor

Lol, he's a sick professor. My pictures are so potato man, I'll post some up soonish. Cut is more of a recomp now though, I'm eating close to maintenance and hitting PRs every workout.

Sore as phuck. We went to a different gym today (our gym has three locations we can go to) and this one was like an old school 70s hardcore gym. Everyone there was huge lol, the equipment was so old school. It was actually really inspiring to be there so we basically had to go hard.

[Gibb1991]

Knee flared up hard today, so it was a little girl workout for legs and abs

-So weird that this machine is so different from the other one at my regular gym. The regular gym I go to the machine says I'm using 135 lbs to crunch, it's definitely hard to pull it down initially so I believed it, but these were humbling.

Not a good workout. Idk what was up, knee wasn't great all day and I slept like 5 hours, so maybe the combination of the two. Off day tomorrow since it's family day anyways then Tuesday chest with my friend, wednesday should be back. Pumped for back day, heading back to that sick gym that we've been going to the last two days and they have so many back machines it's insane.

[Gibb1991]

Me and my friend realized we always do triceps, if you check my log we end up doing it like 2-3 times a week sometimes lol. So we figured we would use this day for biceps.

[Gibb1991]

This illness is weird, at night I felt awful, slept like 9 hours and didn't wanna move from nausea, but I woke up feeling way way better so I went to the gym. Feel worse now, might be the pre workout I took, I'll skip it tomorrow if I'm up for the gym at all. My weakness was pretty evident this session, strength was less than I expected and stamina straight up wasn't present.

Under hand Pull downs
120 lbs x 12, 8
-Just nothing in the tank at this point

Disappointing but I was feeling light headed and wanted to puke the whole time, so really this was a 100% effort workout even if it was weak.

[Gibb1991]

Alright guys, not much of a difference between these pics and the last posted but I this is like 7 lbs less and a whole new lighting/ angle. Will be using this style from now on because it is way to hard to get a pic of my back without help lol.

This was mostly a random day added, really wanted to do a quick workout before studying all night. Felt good since I never really do arms but I felt like I had no drive for some reason. Like, I got the reps I wanted but didn't get a pump, didn't feel satisfying like other arms days in the past. Probably because my exercise choices were limited due to crowded as phuck gym and bro's being everywhere (literally no bench open the entire hour)

[Gibb1991]

For whatever reason DB doesn't bother my shoulder at all on flat, but if I do barbell I get pain as low as 135. I know it's not the weight either because I've done 135 for 15 reps before and it felt great. Also DB bench just hit my chest hard man, I can feel the muscle tearing up it seems.
Incline barbell just because I've never really done it and I wanted to try it for a few months. Decline barbell because it's hard as phuck to get the DB in place on decline, no other reason really.

seeing real good progress. can see the top abs, the loose skin does take away from progress u made. is it possible to get rid of it or u gonna do surgery?

I've had it since grade 11, last year I got lean as phuck (not much mass obviously lol, but was lean) and all I could see was 4 pack because of it. It's super phucking discouraging tbh, I haven't looked into the price of getting it removed but it's something I want after I graduate. Two more years hopefully I'll have filled it out a bit so it will be a small surgery.
Increasing muscle mass, getting body fat really low, and patients should help. It's honestly better than it used to be and when I have less fat it looks less noticeable.

yeah man if you just crop the bottom, looks like a complete different image, should be something to look into. In high school i was overweight at 145, I did starve like you all of a sudden, but 10 pounds didnt really affect me so i was lucky.

got back into the gym today, felt good, but lost some strength, haha cant even catch a break, lose strength so fast

I know man. I stood up from my computer one night in the summer and I could only see like just above my belly button and up, nice 4 pack, vascularity in chest and shoulders (should take a side photo for you guys, I actually got sick chest/shoulder veins going on right now) but that bottom area pains me lol. Honestly think I would feel totally different without it, but right now there is a lot of fat in there too.
10 lb isn't a big deal tbh, my weight loss was around 50 lbs. You can drop 10 and it shouldn't effect you overall.

And nice man, how was your strength affected by the break?

Yeah haha man makes me want to go lean, might put up a pic, tell me if i should keep bulkin or not.

did chest/back, usually bench 185 for 5 reps, I struggled to do 2, same with dls at 255.

I dont know man, a week break, and already lost some strength. Strength is the first to go, mass wise no change.

Please feel free to put up a pic. Strength does go fast though unless your on top of it. It'll bounce back in a week or two though , probably be stronger for it.

That arms workout I was so unsatisfied with was good man. Woke up stiff as phuck and triceps were full on sore later in the day. New chest veins are showing which is cool too.
Off day today. Possibly off day tomorrow too since I have a pass or fail math test thurs after noon but not sure yet.

Was summarizing chapters lol, gonna study a bit tonight, then tomorrow after clinical. Dat first day of pediatrics son.
The math test really isn't a big deal, I probably won't pass this first shot but then you get math help and two more tries. Don't you worry about old Gibb

EDIT

Weighted chip ups and dips? how much weight do you add?

EDIT

at the end of the workout, do 35's for dips as much as i can, then keep lowering it to just burn it out

chinups add 25 do as many reps, then do ez bar curls.
