great stuff. will throw that in there if this comes up with someone in the future.

 :highfive:

 ;) what good is a bigger and stronger heart if the chamber design fails because of too much muscle mass. i won't even consider pharma preworkout (cialis/viagra) even with all of its benefits to blood flow because i don't want to mess with my blood pressure and HR. caffeine (lots of it) is as hardcore as il go.

* bw 192lb. 3rd rep of 405 is going to be very heavy.  doubles are alright. added more weight on the calf raises. had to reset at rep 14 but got all 20 reps with good ROM. i sometimes reset on the 20 rep sets at rep 13-15 because of either grip issues, or just burnout tired. as long as these are only a few seconds and the weight i'm using got to straight 20 already or is 20 rep doable when i'm fresh, i'm ok logging them as 20 reps.

* feels good to cardio on cold day. end of 3-day work week. recovery a bit on sleep and i'll come back strong again. need to find a way to lock myself on the dip machine and start using more resistance. 120 is the heaviest i can do without getting pushed up. the machine has foot rollers to hold u but the position is awkward. i do the dips narrow grip if both feet spread upfront. i let the resistance go all the way up until the handles are almost in my armpit. luckily i dont bottom out.

dip machine at 24hr gym.

pharmaceutical cheat codes are dangerous. if you're even considering that, at this stage, i'd say you've definitely stumbled on to the "wrong track".

if you were already in "peak athletic condition", and were contemplating PED's/pharma to push yourself past your limits, that would be more understandable. That's when you contemplate something like that (if you aren't anti PED), not when you can make tons of gains the simple way.

losing fat is easier, the more you have.

gaining muscle is easier, the less you have.

improving fitness, is easier the less you have.

improving vert & speed, is easier the more detrained you are.

you have most of those things in your favor right now .. focus on the basics & make progress. People look towards everything but the basics, when trying to make progress. It's really incredible when you think about it. I'm on another forum where there's tons of "bodybuilder" types, and it's incredible how much sh*t people consider without first considering proper training. They are interested in all kinds of pharma when simple cardio or high frequency lifting in comnination with a proper diet, would do the job. It's mind blowing to me.

I personally would never take anything that risks my health or threatens to shorten life span, just to gain muscle, lose fat, or improve performance. To me, that is "disordered". It's interesting to me that the "substance abuse bodybuilding" crowd is not considered disordered - I think because it's such a huge money making market. Here, people are shortening their life spans by many years, dealing with all kinds of adverse health effects, taking all kinds of crazy chemical concoctions, just to change their appearance. Most of these people utilize this stuff way too early - hard training & proper diet would have given them the same & better results. It's incredible how many people fall for this pharma garbage IMHO. I mean to each their own, but, I personally respect natural bodybuilders & such who achieve their physics by just eating clean, lifting hard, and staying healthy. Somewhat of a rant, but, I just feel like resorting to things like TRT/hGH & such is usually considered way too early, which sounds all kinds of alarms to me.

Same thing goes for the performance crowd. You just have to be so careful. What if taking steroids/hgh caused you to really grow fast, but your tendons lagged behind & you end up wrecking one? That's the age old story about PED use and performance: muscles grow fast, tendons/ligaments don't .. injury risk sky rockets. So that's a major concern, among many others.

Also, "will not stop until 425 or injury" sounds self destructive. That was basically my advice/warning to you in your journal, I can see you doing stuff like this. Everyone on here admires determination, but if determination is really kamikaze self destruction, it's not determination. It's hard to snap out of this mindset, so not sure how to convince you to be more patient and/or work on weaknesses while dealing with your current injury. I mean in the end that's your decision. But, I guess I also speak with alot of experience in that department, so it's easier for me to recognize when people are going down that path.

One thing I think more people need to realize is, the "want it now motivation" is *usually* a recipe used by those who are unsuccessful. These are usually the people who want to transform themselves at some point, but are just so impatient, they want to achieve it as soon as possible. The flip side is the elite/pro/dedicated athlete who seems to understand it's a very slow grind that will take many years of extremely hard, focused, dedicated training.

beyond that, health #1

 :headbang:

this is the simplest way i tell people why anabolic steroids for accelerated muscle growth is a very big health risk- your heart is a muscle. your heart will grow. there is not a lot of space inside your chest cavity for an overgrown heart. you will have a big heart with little chamber volume because its collapsing to itself. your heart will be under a lot of stress. the heart has no rest days. you will die sooner.

Was pretty extreme to go from 315 - 385 - 405 sets in such a short matter of time  :headbang:  hope u can recover fast.....

not really a big jump in intensity because i already have the leg mass to move 455 just a couple of months ago. triples more for practice on breathing and feet placement.

King, I think you are a special athlete. I have tried to replicate your squats by going full and pausing for years now. But it is finally catching up with me. I am now having hip problems, knees always sore.

I am saddened to say that I don't think I can copy your squats anymore and i will be like the other gym bro's that do half squats from now on :( 

maybe all you need is to simply get yourself in a leanish bw and restart the building process.  flexibility improves too as you get less fat. goodluck.

right because he didn't work for his money against Maidana, Hatton, DLH, Judah, etc..  :trollface: Those were tough fights for him.

Floyd also deserves some respect for actually fighting in that sloppier style to make the fight more entertaining. He fought in a completely different style than he's used to.

yes. a 40 yr old had to flight sloppy to make it interesting against a 29 yr old prime mma fighter.

King, what kind of salmon do you eat? The steaks or the leaner fillet?

Also do you do some kind of more hamstring/post chain focused workouts anymore like goodmornings or GHR?

the costco salmon individually wrap fillets. salmon bellies when im on caloric surplus.

still have a GHR bench at home but rarely do p-chain focused exercises. volumes of paused 315s get my hamstrings going.

respect for the mma guy for not gassing out like an idiot in a pro boxing match while making the fight interesting.

floyd took some decent hits. about time he worked for his $3M/min fighting salary.

Your HR @ 4 mph + 5% incline definitely improved over time, curious to see how it adapts to 7.5%. seems like a tough walk.

i got tired a bit from it this morning. slept 7.5hr/8:30-4:00pm. i usually just sleep 6hr /9:30-3:30pm on afternoons (and another 10:30-2am at night).

not too bad doing it for 15min. need a good pacing song this time.

* did another straight set to 40 on the situps. doing them with the bent knee situp board on highest setting plus resting on 2x45lb plate on floor at the front for more incline. high incline feels so much better. i get full ROM just like when you do them on a GHR bench.
* skipped the walking. im still 194lb. don't want to go down 190-192. 405 might feel heavy. 405 was still easy this afternoon. same straight sets just resting while changing plates. sub 5 min routine.

* did the weighted situps using cable resistance. i did them before with db behind the head but strained my neck because of the grinding to 20 reps. first set to 20 using an equivalent 10lb was alright. did another set to 20 after a few mins because the 10lb did not feel very heavy. slowed down too much at rep 10. called it a day.
* the calf work was not very heavy at 4x45b+25lb to 20 reps because i've been doing the calf work wrong. since the 4x45lb does not feel very heavy at all, i was doing the set with a continuous muscle tension set style cadence. if i do the same style on a heavier weight, i'm crushed.
* calf work - i did them paused/explosively this time and the whole thing is totally different. to keep it simple - the continuous tension style bodybuilding reps are mentally like a flat power effort throughout the ROM. (which is bs IMO if youre not on AAS because the weight is too light to cause growth). the reps im doing on everything else is a burst power effort after the pause and hoping that when the momentum decay catches up, the ROM is already done. 

here's my new favorite abs work setup. cable resistance and max incline using 45lb plates at front.

Uh-oh, the tonnage is going up! 2 sets of 315 now!  :ibsquatting:
