    Went in yesterday for a nice back workout, really enjoying eating comfortably but gonna have to scale it back soon due to less activity form the job and higher intake. Gathering some unwanted fluff from it.

    Happy New Year Folks, hope everyone is having a good 2018 thus far.

    Update... I've been in a sort of limbo since leaving my last job. Not really knowing what to do or where to go but I've finally got a gameplan. Taking the first 2-3 months of 2018 to work 2 jobs as a substitute teacher in the day and waiter at night so I can build up a nice cushion of $3-4000 and then make the move to OKC and continue my schooling as well as be a personal trainer for a well known gym around there. I'll be enrolling in the summer and paying my own way through at the University of Central Oklahoma. I plan on finishing my degree in Business with a focus on Marketing and Finance. I'm also planning on starting fitness modeling later on in the year once I cut down and building a portfolio with plans of turning professional over the next couple of years to help with my personal training. Ideally, I want to combine business and personal training and build upon that. Not sure of the steps I need to take for that, but right now my biggest focus is getting back on my feet, getting back to school, and crossing that bridge when it gets here. Big things in store for 2018 that I feel can truly help my career.

    Pull Power

    Bent Over Rows 6x5,4,3,4,3,2

    Set 1: 205x5
    Set 2: 215x4
    Set 3: 225x3
    Set 4: 235x4
    Set 5: 255x3
    Set 6: 275x2

    All sets super strict other than the final rep of the final set, some swing but nothing major.

    Lat Pulldowns 5x10
    All sets: 160x10

    Shrugs 3x20
    Sets 1-3: 275x20

    Barbell Curls 3x8
    Sets 1-3: 95x8

    Hammer Curls 3x10
    Sets 1-3: 40x10

    Dropset from 40, 8 reps at each weight for a total of 64 reps

    No longer incorporating heavy rack pulls because my back is one of my strongest areas and will grow with any kind of stimulus. Rack Pulls were getting to the upper 400 range and were fatiguing my lower back to where it affected my leg workouts so I scrapped them due to injury risk. I do deadlifts on leg day now as it is so rack pulling and deadlifting <4 times a week will hamper my recovery. With me wanting to have a fitness modeling photoshoot by the end of the year... Its a risk I won't take.

    Stopping the rack pulls has been helping my leg workouts by a pretty big margin, though I will admit I do miss them. May cut leg training back to once a week since they respond so well and start hitting chest with some higher frequency because it still lags after years of training it.

    Lower Hypertrophy (High Rep)

    Squat 4x20,15,12,10 dropset 8

    Set 1: 225x20
    Set 2: 235x15
    Set 3: 245x12
    Set 4: 260x10, 185x8

    Leg Press 3x20

    All sets were 600x20

    RDL 4x15

    All sets with 275'

    3 dropsets on lying leg curl supersetted with 3 dropsets on leg extension.

    Started at 80 on leg curls and did 8 reps with each weight downward for total of 48 reps.

    Same concept with leg extensions.

    Hoping to hit a 405lb back squat on Monday to get back to my all time best. Body weight sitting around 193-195, 14-15% bf.

    This was yesterday's workout and was basically a workout "date" with a girl I've known for a while and has been lifting consistently for a few years. It was nice that what she was doing and I wasn't worrying about having to spend energy more explaining things than it took to work out.

    We went to the track afterwards and did some sprints, 6x100.

    Just smashed a 295lb Bench @ 190lbs. Huge PR and next goal is 315. Closing in on the 3/4/5 elite gym standards. Hit the 405 squat in the past but never have hit a 3 plate bench or 5 plate deadlift. I plan on hitting those numbers by this summer. Was an impromptu lift as I was feeling strong and went for it so I didn't video. Will try to video it the next push workout.

    Got a body comp analysis done and was surprised to see my results. 194.8lbs (after eating for the day, with clothes on) and 12.1% body fat. Don't believe my body fat is truly that low, but still cool to see such a high body weight and a lowish body fat number. For reference, last time I did this on the same exact machine, I weighed 155.2lbs at 9.6% body fat. Numbers may be somewhat inaccurate, but it indicates a pretty high amount of progress. Stoked at those results.

    Lmao thanks man, it was a struggle bus at first. Tried it once and failed, put on some Ozzy and got amped after that... Went up smooth as butter the second time Keep at it dude, you'll get there. I'm roughly 20lbs heavier with some extra padding so I imagine that helps

    Only been eating roughly 1800-1900 cals a day with 15 mins of cardio 6x weekly. Didn't think I'd smash 295 in a deficit but making it happen. Body comp test was done via in body machine, so nothing crazy accurate but its what i've been using as a reference point since I've started. Had one of these same tests done 1.5 years back @155 lbs and came back at 9% bf (9.8% to be exact... lol) and few days ago got it tested at 12.1% 195lbs. Vast improvement imo even with the fact that the machines can be inaccurate from time to time. Goal by summer is to be at 180lbs 9-10% body fat!

    Only been eating roughly 1800-1900 cals a day with 15 mins of cardio 6x weekly. Didn't think I'd smash 295 in a deficit but making it happen. Body comp test was done via in body machine, so nothing crazy accurate but its what i've been using as a reference point since I've started. Had one of these same tests done 1.5 years back @155 lbs and came back at 9% bf (9.8% to be exact... lol) and few days ago got it tested at 12.1% 195lbs. Vast improvement imo even with the fact that the machines can be inaccurate from time to time. Goal by summer is to be at 180lbs 9-10% body fat!
    I'm an Ozzy fan, too. It is pretty remarkable what some good tunes can do in the weight room. But yeah, I see what you're saying on that for sure. No matter how you slice it, that's quite the improvement. Aaaawwwhh shiiiit. In for the documentation of this. Going to be pretty neat to see what the end result is. That'd be a huge improvement for two years' time.

    For sure man, I'm usually a rap guy but Ozzy got the job done this time.

    My body fat storage has seemed to shift over the past couple years so my abs aren't quite as lean, but my legs are cut like diamonds right now whereas it used to be the other way around. Some hammy definition and definite quad definition. Oh well, still gotta cut those 10-12lbs off and can't wait to see the result when I do. I initially planned to cut to 170, but the test revealed me as having 171 lean mass (including bone of course) so I feel like 170 would be a harsh cut. Only time will tell. 180 is the goal and I'll re-evaluate when I get there. Considering last time I was single digits I was sub 160... Being at 180 in the single digit range would be awesome. If only now I could transfer some of my back and leg muscle to my chest

    Down to 186.3 as of this morning. Delts and chest are showing striations, legs are getting veiny, upper back is getting cut up, and veins are starting to pop out of my arms and delts more and more. Losing fat everywhere but my abs, which is strange because that used to be where I'd lose the fat from first. They're definitely visible, but struggling to go from visible abs to ripped abs. Oh well, one day at a time. Fully intend to do a fitness modeling shoot this fall... Sooner if at all possible. Its been one of my dreams since I was 16-17 and I'm now 23 as of a week ago. No time to waste. Want to be at least 7-8% body fat with some fullness from 1-2 weeks from reverse dieting.

Weirdest sensation ever and I know for a fact it wasn't from dehydration because Id been drinking a ton of water. Definitely didn't like the feeling.

    New low weigh in today of 184.0. New veins coming and striations starting to show in chest. 140C/60F/185P currently and just added 10 mins of cardio 4x weekly.

    New low weigh ins damn near every day this week. Hit 183.0 this morning. Looks like my 1,000+ carb refeed experiment last Sunday has paid off big time. Crazy how the human body works!

    Taking a diet break for a few weeks. Started a brand new job as an inbound marketing assistant 20hrs a week for a company in my hometown. In the office on Monday and Wednesday, working from home any other time I prefer. Will still be waiting tables by night every day and pulling doubles on Tuesday and Thursday by taking the lunch shift in between classes. Not gonna be stupid about the break, but I also want to devote more time to focusing on work and paying off school. Will also be fun to have good workouts and maintain a good hormone balance from eating more food. Macros for the break will be 300C/185P/65F.

    Lower Power

    Deadlift 5 warmup sets, 1 AMRAP w/ 405.

    Set 1: 225x8
    Set 2: 275x5
    Set 3: 315x3
    Set 4: 365x1
    Set 5: 405x1

    AMRAP w/ 405. 405x10

    Not gonna lie, I felt pretty god slamming out 405 for 10 reps when I struggled to rack pull 405x10 a couple months ago. This puts my estimated 1RM at 530+, but not gonna hold my breath until I actually hit that number. A true 1RM and a 405x10 DL are 2 different stories.
