* resting the horizontal rowing. the 20s using 195lb got something in my right elbow tired. i got a little more ROM on the wrist curls when i used a lighter weight. either that or the full ROM 30s got me tired quickly.
* i got very good doms on my middle back and rear delts whenever i use the double ropes. i prefer to do the pulling on the lat pulldown station but seated way backwards using my own chair and pulling it semi horizontally.

* went heavier on both shoulder pressing and rows. i was able to get to 20s without a lot of grinding (so i dont fatigue myself too fast) by not eating all the eccentrics. the concentrics were explosive. theres always the pause to kill all momentum but not putting too much brakes on the eccentrics save me a lot of energy. makes the motion a lot smoother too.
* did a backoff volume to 50s with the neutral bar and high pull for the rear delts. i could do this indefinitely with the 100lb (200lb stamped but dual pulleys 1/2 the actual resistance) max stack at the center stations. the side stations are heavier and goes to 300lb.

* tried the 120lb x20s on the seated shoulder pressing and it was too heavy for multi sets of 20s. got 1 set to 20 but already at a crawl at rep 18. 19-20 was a fight. not a good thing for the next set to 20. would probably start fighting the reps at 14-15. that would really be bad for my lowerback. back to 110s for now. skipped the dips for better recovery for later.

* did more rowing for the rear delts using the lat pulldown but with seats far back so i'm pulling more horizontally when i angle my torso perpendicular to the resistance. did more rows because my front delts are getting stronger. 120 x20s now. got more room to grow until the machine stacks out at 165lb. using the double ropes for a face pull type movement feels spot on for the rear delts. the diverging movement at the bottom ROM hits that rear delt area perfectly. need double ropes because i got wide shoulders.

* tried the 120lb x20s on the seated shoulder pressing and it was too heavy for multi sets of 20s. got 1 set to 20 but already at a crawl at rep 18. 19-20 was a fight. not a good thing for the next set to 20. would probably start fighting the reps at 14-15. that would really be bad for my lowerback. back to 110s for now. skipped the dips for better recovery for later.

* got sent home early from work for a lunch time offsite 12-3pm. slept 1-3am a while ago and did a morning workout. will sleep 7-11am and enjoy some good food. come back home and nap again and do another night workout.

Forearms cable curls 20 20x4 sets
* did more rowing for the rear delts using the lat pulldown but with seats far back so i'm pulling more horizontally when i angle my torso perpendicular to the resistance. did more rows because my front delts are getting stronger. 120 x20s now. got more room to grow until the machine stacks out at 165lb. using the double ropes for a face pull type movement feels spot on for the rear delts. the diverging movement at the bottom ROM hits that rear delt area perfectly. need double ropes because i got wide shoulders.

* added wrist curls to kill time when i'm recovering between push/pull routine. i can't do much on the neck curls because i'm tired from that and delaoding. i'm doing very high volume sets but still taking as much time as i need to recover between sets. i'm usually good by the 5-7 min mark but up to 10min on the 4th-5th set. if i can't recover the first 1-2 sets within 5 mins, the weight is too heavy or i cut the reps to 15s. grind it out on the 15s until i get strong enough to raise it to 20 reps, add weight and start over.

* felt very strong after taking down 4 plantains post workout this morning 800kcal/200carb (200kcal / 50g carb each) with a 500kcal/100g prot grilled chicken breast.
* had to find a way to add resistance to my upperbody push. the chest press machine i tried again this morning did not feel as good as the dips. cannot add more to my 135-150 dips because i get pushed up on the machine. back to bw dips and will add little weight soon with belt. lowerback felt solid.
* rowing the 180 to 20 reps. no straps. sets take too long. circulation to hands not so good with straps. did the 180 with pause/reset every 4 reps.

* will assume the trap bar is 50lb. its the heavy duty version with the double grip. could be 60lb but definitely over 45lb. since 25s are perfect for not bottoming out, i stayed with the double 25s instead of 25 and some change and lowered the reps to 15. i was losing form on the 16+ reps. the bar will tag my glutes because i'm not rowing to the back when i get tired. 15 is good for now. will bring it to 20 when i get strong on this.

* took my rowing to another level and deload down to 100 but with very strict form - torso as parallel to ground as possible and i grip the 25lb hex plate for a wider grip. the regular heavy rowing with 150 has the same form for the first few reps and then my delts take over when it gets harder. rowing is very complicated.
* during a townhall meeting at work (gene.com), it seems like things are looking good for our anti-myostatin drug for DMD treatment. i was half asleep after a big meal then i hear something from our plant manager and became interested.

* lowerback fatigued a little from the smith calf raises. skipped that and back to seated but with these lighter 20reps, the 4 plates should not hurt my quads. i quit this exercise months ago because the 7x45lb was crushing my mid quads.

* felt very strong after taking down 4 plantains post workout this morning 800kcal/200carb (200kcal / 50g carb each) with a 500kcal/100g prot grilled chicken breast.
* had to find a way to add resistance to my upperbody push. the chest press machine i tried again this morning did not feel as good as the dips. cannot add more to my 135-150 dips because i get pushed up on the machine. back to bw dips and will add little weight soon with belt. lowerback felt solid.
* rowing the 180 to 20 reps. no straps. sets take too long. circulation to hands not so good with straps. did the 180 with pause/reset every 4 reps.

* lowerback did not tire from the shoulder press this morning. keep this going. i like how this machine hits my front delts. feels like an isolation motion for the delts because i barely feel anything on my tricep. its an overhead press with split handles that converge at the top.

* will assume the trap bar is 50lb. its the heavy duty version with the double grip. could be 60lb but definitely over 45lb. since 25s are perfect for not bottoming out, i stayed with the double 25s instead of 25 and some change and lowered the reps to 15. i was losing form on the 16+ reps. the bar will tag my glutes because i'm not rowing to the back when i get tired. 15 is good for now. will bring it to 20 when i get strong on this.
* squats tired. deload to 10s.

* was planning on doing trap bar RDLs but decided to skip it so i don't tire my back. used the trap bar for rows and the movement felt great. i can use this exercise for volumes. this pulling is more on the low to mid. something very good for the lower rhomboid area. the top ROM has to be pulled towards the rear end because thats the only way the bar clears my glutes. sloppy form gets checked with that.

* very strong this afternoon after taking in 200g+ carbs worth of mangoes post workout this morning. thats 800kcal from carbs, 500kcal from the double chicken breast and 200kcal from a potato. 1.5K kcal x2meals roughly meets my 3K+ daily to maintain.
* will start incorporating carb timing into my routine. my physique bros do that all the time but i was not convinced that it will have a big impact on me because i dont have the same hormone levels as they do. i thought il just get fat. il try it slowly. same daily calorie total but will shift some calories in pre and peri workout shakes. got the quick acting carbs (karbolyn) from amazon already and some good quality hydrolized (quickest acting) whey from costco (iso100).
* might do this intra-workout carb routine after i get better with the metabolic sets of volumes. il max at sets of 10s and try to decrease my rest time.

* modified my lifting schedule for mondays as i have a 2-6pm work meeting. had to start the morning workout early at 2-3ish am. had the gym to myself again and did the routine circuit style.
* 7hr fasted since 7pm and had my first day of pre-intra workout fancy carbs. took 25g karbolyn preworkout and sip thru another 25g intra. did not feel any sugar rush or heart palpitations from the carbs. must be mentally pysched because of this and did so many sets of 20s. was planning 10s only. weights used for the metabolic sets were not very light. still in the 50%ish+ of heavy sets. i looked thicker after the volume sets. veins got thick. not a bad feeling.
* did not rush thru the workout like a newbie but was excited that i'm not running out of steam. the 315x10 on squats yesterday was too heavy for 10s. have to lower that so i don't burnout. the 315 this morning felt heavier even with my bloated legs full of glycogen.

* i cannot go a lot heavier on the machine dips because il get pushed up. 150 tmrw morning on dips. doing the pulling also without the straps. i dont want to blow a bloodvessel in my hands because the sets take 2min+ to complete.

* drank more coffee to stay more awake for my daytime meeting but got me a little dehydrated at the end. slept 4:30pm-7pm and was 192lb dry. did my 25-50g pre-intra carb drink again. i was surprised that i was very strong this afternoon. i got going and added 10lbs to my volumes.
* i cannot go a lot heavier on the machine dips because il get pushed up. 150 tmrw morning on dips. doing the pulling also without the straps. i dont want to blow a bloodvessel in my hands because the sets take 2min+ to complete.

« on: April 24, 2018, 06:23:28 am »Hi King Beast,
do you recommend feet touching narrow stance full squat?
I think that may have been why i got my right knee to be achy.... I was doing a 225lb super narrow full squat , feet literally touching
thats something i leave for the bodybuilders doing high reps/moderate to low weight with the goals of shaping their quads.
doing that form with heavy weights is taxing the knee area too much. you can do it but dont go too heavy. big guys doing it with little weights and high reps are on metabolic training.

* i showed this exercise a few days ago to 300lb+ samoan beast and my buddy was able to rep 135-150lb for 10 controlled reps. thats a weight most people use for lat pulldown.
* i'm using 60lbx5s. 75lbx3 max so far as i'm only doing them for a few weeks only. got a lot of room to improve.
high pull rowing. 180lb fail. i got lifted up. 165lb x10s.

* posterior shoulders work hard on these. dont feel much on the mid back. the mid rowing takes care of that.

* found a way to do the high pull rowing using another setup. i was able to go heavier than 140 because of better leverage on keeping myself planted. did 180 and i was not able to keep myself seated.
* did volumes of squats on the smith to keep fatigue low. the movement feels very good.

* felt like the smith machine squats is very quad and glute driven without any action for my p-chain. added some very light sets of hex bar DL to get used to the movement again.
* did my seated cable rows elevated a little sitting on a 30lb db. the movement felt a lot better because the pulling is very close to being horizontal.
* about time i started doing some calf work. i have an afternoon work meeting today. woke up early and 2am gym time. i had everything to myself. did all circuit style. strong breakfast of chicken beasts and potatoes. big sleep and lift again tonight.

* tried to see how much volume i can do on the 100lb high pull. the middle pulleys max out at that weight. got to 40 and became bored.

* added volumes of 10s for volume backoffs. will try if intra workout carbs + higher volumes make a difference in making me thicker and stronger. i know it will not be as effective when ur not anabolic as those on cycle but it doesn't hurt to try.
* this volume idea is already working in a way because i'm very lean right now at 194lb but the heavy squat singles are feeling easier lately as an effect of the back-off volumes. must be the blood/nutrients making my legs fuller. will slowly play with the volumes and make sure i don't overdo it and burn myself out. il still be doing this daily or twice daily.
