OK I miss masks now. My "don't bother me I'm working" face game is weak af rn
Beach trip really killed my momentum on the program I was on so I'm winging it again. Working back up to my old maxes from when I was bulked up so I can pass them easy on a re-bulk.
3 heavy bench/squat + accessory days
2 active rest days. full body (nothing heavier than 35 lb dumbbells and 15-20 mins of hitting the heavy bag)

Put 30 miles on the bike over mixed terrain in 20C+ today. First decent day in May. Really hope the weather sticks around long enough so i can acclimatise to it, because fucking hell it was a struggle. Had to take twice as much water as usual.
By Blue Go To PostAnyone have experience with L-Citrulline?for lifting i take a daily shake of protein + creatine + citruline malate (+beta alanine on gym days), seems well researched and spoken highly of by many reputable coaches... but honestly i have no idea what i'm supposed to be noticing lol. my recovery time is likely reduced, but that's probably from the creatine. the citruline malate i buy is cheap though, and i'm not sure what the formulation is so there's a good chance i'm not even getting enough citruline in.

I’ve read 6 grams is a decent amount but that’s really just assumptions. I got the powder without the malate. Looking to go ssj2 on my runs with this...

By Euros-batong Go To PostGot those open hip flexors 👀My breathing is wonderful. I run 1.5 miles inhaling and exhaling thru my nose. Going to up that to 2-2.5 miles in the future. These Pegasus 38’s are clean AF. 💦💦💦

Last week of this strength building program.
I need a new hypertrophy program for 4 days a week without supersets and with 2 leg days that also include back and bis
I may just build my own honestly

By Patriotism Go To PostLeaving for a 3am gym session ladsThat's the best. Especially if its cause you got fully rested and woke up early and you get that pre-work workout.
I just can't make myself go to bed early enough to get up that early and not feel like shit.

lmao I haven't gone to bed yet
By Patriotism Go To PostLeaving for a 3am gym session ladsLove both. Going either really early or when I fucked up my sleeping during summer, I love going in the middle of the night.
First day of the gym went great, not to many people aswell.
Just going for high reps and low weights but still, I'm going to feel it tomorrow.

Was back at the gym this week--no mask restrictions. Haven't had a sore throat in a year--of course I get one after my second gym visit.
To be fair it was probably touching shit and using my phone rather than mask shit, but fuck. Make sure yall sanitize your hands and phone device immediately after leaving the gym before contaminating your vehicle.

Maybe from the sweating + airconditioning?
It's probably fine, don't scare yourself to much. You can always get a test if needed.
i was sooo close to doing a muscle up. think i would have had it if i tried it fresh, but did some chest and shoulder work beforehand so was already fatigued, and the transition point between pullup/dip fucked me up. anyway i kinda hurt my shoulder so won't be attempting it again any time soon. rip
i hate deload weeks but I really did go hard while I was unemployed. my left hip/groin and shoulders feel like shit
dropped about 25 lbs on a cut overall between picking soccer back up and cutting. but it's time to put on about 10-15 back on and see if I can push past my xmas maxes

Ran 12.5 laps on a 400M track or in other words, ran a 5K in under 24 mins. Probably a fluke unless I can consistently hit something like that, but I’m impressed.
How is it it a fluke if you bettered your mile time too, blue? Sounds like training is paying off, so just stick with it.
By Euros-batong Go To PostHow is it it a fluke if you bettered your mile time too, blue? Sounds like training is paying off, so just stick with it.True. Ever since I’ve found a 400M track I’ve actually timed my mile run into the low 7’s where as before I was using google maps to estimate my mile run so it was off. I’m confident I can get it below 7 minutes fr this time and thats why I’m working on longer distance running to help improve that.

I’m confident I can get it below 7 minutes fr this time and thats why I’m working on longer distance running to help improve that.Depending on certain conditions (weather, running speed, GPS accuracy, ...) Google Maps and such can be off by atleast 5-10 %.
It's great for averages but I wouldn't exclusively rely on it for laptimes.
Having a Polar watch / Garmin sport tracker would improve on it but that's a cost you may or may not want to make.
Wow! It’s ok for him to miss leg day once in a while.
In other news, I can consistently do 14 pull-ups now and almost hit the 15th but just miss it. Slow progress but progress.

By data Go To Postuhhhhaww yiss my calves look better than Thor's
Well I’ll be damned. Tried hook grip for the first time on deadlifts today but it’ll take awhile to adjust to. Didn’t feel comfortable doing it for my heaviest set but it felt better doing hook grip on my previous sets vs alt grip.

20 of that 25 is back. Never actually did a proper cut and bulk before. I look wild. Always been in good aesthetic shape but I get comments left and right rn. Xmas maxes (245 Bench / 300 squat) will be a breeze when I do decide to test them should I'm comfortably repping 90% of that now. Thinking of 255 and 315 in a month or so.

been dabbling w/ Deadlifts at lower weight but I think I need somebody legit at it to help me out. I refuse to do sumo (purely out of ego lol) but I cant decide between Hook/Mixed grip.
Been doing a lighter but more extensive shoulder routine (less weight but 2 exercises more, trying to hit every muscle group in the shoulders twice but doing mobility exercises.
Results are starting to pay off.
Finally improved my bench after a long time but not going to go to crazy before I reinjure it.

I refuse to do sumo (purely out of ego lol) but I cant decide between Hook/Mixed grip.Deadlift is a GOAT exercise definitely the best compound lift. The gains on your core from it are amazing honestly the most gains on my abdominals and obliques came from this. It does make you a bit wider though so like more boxy in your midsection. Just watch tutorials on how to do the lift. It doesn't really get dangerous until you pass 315lbs
