Wednesday, 4/23

Workout:

Squats. 2x5xbar, 1x5x110, 1x5x140, 2x5x165.

OHP. 2x5xbar, 1x5x65, 1x5x75, 1x5x90, 1x5x100.

DEAD LIFT. 1x5x180, 1x5x220, 1x5x255, 1x5x290.

Squats were definitely easier, but the dead lifts more than made up for it. I was worn out when I left, and still exhausted several hours later. I feel fine this morning, though. I was worried about DOMS after all the dead lifts.

[stardust731]

Wow you're really throwing some awesome weight around! Keep up the fabulous work my friend! You're doing lots of good things in here!!

1 PR today, 1x4x305. Gotta get this hand healed up. I feel like 345 is in my grasp. Squats were good, thought I had 265. Came up just short. It is coming, though.

[stardust731]

Killer workout dude! You'll hit that 265 in no time!! Keep it up!!!

[Super Destroyer]

Got a rude awakening this morning when I stepped on the scales. 246 pounds! Ugh!!!! So I have started another journal, and I will be logging everything I eat and my workouts. I am going low maintenance for the last two weeks of this challenge, then switching over to a low carb keto diet on May 26th. I will also deload at that point on Madcow. I believe that some of this is water weight, and I hope to be closer to 240 when I started cutting, but this is what happens when you bulk with unbridled abandon. I don't like the way I feel, but I am getting back to doing something about it.

Saturday, 5/10/14

Workout

Squats. 2x5xbar, 1x5x115, 1x5x145, 1x225, 1x245, 1x265 (fail), 1x5x135 Quit at this point because of time and just not feeling it. I was still disgusted because I got to the gym at 6:15am and couldn't get inside to workout. (Technical difficulties with the door) Anyway, getting back to work today, and I will get 800 by next weekend!

[Super Destroyer]

Saturday, 5/17/14

 

Workout

Squats.  2x5xbar, 1x5x115, 1x5x145, 1x5x175, 1x5x200, 1x2x235, 1x8x175.

Bench.  2x5xbar, 1x5x85, 1x5x105, 1x5x130, 1x5x150, 1x3x175, 1x10x130.

Row.  1x5x65, 1x5x80, 1x5x100, 1x5x115, 1x5x130, 1x10x100.

 

Only made 2 of 3 on the 235 squats.  I definitely need a deload here.  Bench press seems to be getting stronger since switching to Madcow and benching twice a week.

[Super Destroyer]

The final results of The Bulk: 25 lbs in 18 weeks. I do not think I will ever bulk this long again. Enjoyed it in some ways, but loathed it in others. I think that, in the future, I will limit bulks to 8 weeks max. Just enough time to gain about ten lbs. Two weeks maintenance, then about a 4 week cut to trim ten pounds, repeat.

Got behind on posting here lately.  Eating was okay, but not getting to work out because of the staph infection on my calf has sucked.  I think my eating will get better when I can get back in the gym.  Going back to the doc to let him look at my leg at 2:30, hopefully it won't be long before I can get back to working out.  Also plan to go by work and weigh in.  Being down a few pounds would take the sting out of not being active.

[Guzzi]

Keeping my fingers crossed for you mate, hope it all gets sorted out.  Can't have my Super_Hero out of action!

See a recurring theme in my diet?  Mayo.  I LOVE it.  Oh, well, I ate it and ranch and still lost a bunch of weight before.  

 

Leg is MUCH better.  Wouldn't be as sore if it were not for the gauze he packed into the wound.  Can't wait to get back to lifting weights Monday!!!!

[Super Destroyer]

And, oh yea, peanut butter and milk..... 

[Super Destroyer]

Okay, so I finally head back to the gym today. I don't expect to be overly strong, so I am glad I was starting a deload when I had the leg issue. I am not recording the last three days eating, mainly because it sucked. I did play in a doubles disc golf tournament Saturday. but I was clearly out of gas by the middle of the second round. Had a great time, though. My weight was the same as last Tuesday afternoon, so I will consider today my FRESH start. I am going to crush this cut now that my leg is healed!

[CourtnieMarie]

Stumbled upon your battle log here and love that you post your food

 

Will be following along for encouragement and ideas! Hope today goes well back in the gym!!
