May Week 1 of 5
Sun April 29
morning
Squats 315-365-405, 225 5x3 sets
Shoulders smith machine close grip bench 225 2x2 sets, 275 3x1 sets | seated machine dips 135 10x2 sets | seated shoulder press machine 90 5x4 sets, 90 10x1 sets
Rows seated cable rows neutral grip 255 5x3 sets | seated rows high pull neutral grip 100 10x1 sets, 150-165 10x2 sets each | trap bar rows 95 10x3 sets, 145 5x2 sets
Neck neck curls 90 5x7 sets
* 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.
afternoon
Squats 315-365-405, 315 5x2 sets, 315 10x1 sets

Neck neck curls 90 5x4 sets
* 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.
