* overhead pressing still progressing. it would be nice to top out at 185x5s but adding 5-10lb on this exercise makes it so much heavier. todays 8th set of 150lb did not feel very heavy. some slowing down on the left arm as usual. i might get 155lb 5x 2-4 sets next time. BW still at 198-200lb and with still visible 6 pack of abs.
* squats and upperbody pulling on maintain for now until i get my overhead press to stall. rows at 100-120lb is at a good spot anyway. weighted pullups at 90lb is also decent already. 185lb OHP is going to be awesome.

* i don't like the isolation of my triceps using the cable rope pulldown. i don't want to grow out of proportion. back to compound for tricep - dips. will do them after doing the overhead press so i limit the intensity on the dips.
* high rep seated cable rows for conditioning work. i feel very bloated after the high reppers. i'm on 5-10g creatine per day and 10-20g bcaa per workout. micronized creapure taken with a tablespoon straight to the mouth and gargled with a sip of apple juice.

* don't like the 8 rep sets. takes too much time to recover. i'm back to 5x8 sets this morning for shoulder work. 2-3 min rest. just enough time alternating the overhead press and the cable rows.
* dips starting to feel natural again. a little wider than shoulder width because i have very long arms.

seated calf raises soleus 6x45lb 5x2 sets

* feeling good with the one arm cable rows bracing with the non-pulling arm. the movement feels more comfortable for upperbody horizontal pull than the hammerstrength machine, but it takes a long time to do them because i cannot just camp there in the cable station and take both pulleys for myself (left and right side). i take both sides when nobody is waiting but whenever somebody asks, i just go do 1 side at a time.

chins bw 10x1 sets
seated calf raise soleus 6x45lb 5x4 sets

* will use a 3 or 6 set of 7reps in the small compounds to progress. the 10 reppers are too mentally draining. will go 95-100lb x7 reps on the rows next time. same as the calf raises. bw movement can stay at 10-20 reps because the resistance is very light and the reps are quick.

You look broad like a barndoor. Damn.  :strong:

thanks. my favorite combo for really thickening the back is heavy sets of single arm machine or db rows, and high volumes of moderate-light cable rows. and chins. weighted chins.

this might have been the only good thing that happened to chicago in a long time   ;D

they were also so close to being beat by a home run on the last play.

^^ back loox hyooge.

thanks. one good thing that worked well is building a solid strength base with weighted neutral chins. other forms of lat/back work does not feel as "solid" to use a lot of resistance.

while looking through my old photo bucket for some pics of plants (for scoob), found these really old photos.. HEHEheEHEHe. This is towards the end of when I boxed, probably ~2007.. Obviously good lighting but, really lean. Definitely leaner than I am now, but, i'm getting closer to this. I'm probably around ~142-145 in these pics.



i'm going to throw a pic of kingfish in just for comparison:



holy shit.











i like this mma fighter like physique. been asked before if i'm fighter.

these pics only look good without clothes. put some shirt on and 90% of people think you are on crack.


bump for back pics. sad erectors need some volume work.

* used the cables in the multi cable station instead of the lifefitness. smoother machine makes the weight feel lighter. my side delts are getting thicker now. skipped the overhead press. superset of 20x4 + 40x4 is a bit too much for daily lifting.

* took some body pics to see if my 10 reppers are doing some body reshaping. i'm doing volumes of little compounds because i can keep myself lean-ish at 195lb BW without doing cardio. i have decent spinal erectors (3x45lb weighted back extensions) but it looks like they are non-existent on my back pick. don't want to go high volumes on these because they weaken the squat a lot when sore.

* took a day of vacation from work and will only do thur-sat night this week starting tonight. i messed up on the upright rows because i was doing them using 70lb using mostly my posterior delt + back. i was pulling to the side+up and then to back. this was an advantageous position against the resistance. did them today pulling up and side with my upperbody completely flat/parallel to the cable. so much harder now. feels awkward too. cannot use heavy weight on this. still doing it for the side delts. still a little compound lift. can't be too bad.

* i'm not burning out my lowerback doing the overhead presses by stopping the set and doing a reset when i notice a slower concentric. i take a 30 sec reset on the 8-9th rep on the 3rd and 4th set. i still count it as a set of 10 on my log. when i can get all 10 rep straight, il add weight. the heavy set of 5s (135lb today) are always a continuous set. no point in using something too heavy and wreck my back.
* bw 194-196lb today. still leaning down but i'm still strong. eating a little more to balance the added volumes of the little compound lifts.
* back to doing vertical pulling with chins and weighted chins soon. i tenderized my left elbow weeks back doing one arm lat pulldown with 100lbx10s. that was too heavy. i'm an idiot.

you are under a lot of stress to be craving so much carbs. take it easy before you bloat up, get heavy and lift weaker. then you go mental.  ;)

435+20 with BW under 200 ( even barely ) seems like the best deal you've had in a long time.
This heavy singles finisher thing you've been doing lately is working well for you IMHO. Probably because it is easier to AREG, as opposed to max out singles. Keep it up.

thanks.

yes. it gave me back good confidence in lifting anything over 405 at a leanish bw. a routine 200kg paused squat top set at a sub 10%bw is not a bad place be stuck at.

i'm trying to stay within the calculated 38-40" SVJ using a paused squat (honest and easily repeatable form. squat. hold. go up), so when i feel that it's about that time again to go jumping, i can still muscle up some decent 2-handers.

talking about fat:

198lb this morning. less side fat. face still looks normal.



205lb weeks ago. more fat on the sides. same abs.



180lb- face looks dried up. looks unhealthy. eye sockets too deep. i was jumping best at low-mid 170s. trying to do the same this time around without looking like im 170lb.

one arm lat pulldown 200lb 5x2 sets

* doing more heavy top sets consistently now. ironed out form even more - i feel more explosive and have a stronger concentric when i put the bar's center of gravity down but with a little forward bias. it still looks like a straight up/down movement but i feels a lot better.

afternoon
paused full squats 315(1-1)-365-405 | 435x1 +10 | 315lb 5x1 sets

* called it quits early. too lean,resting and need to catch up on SF giants game. 435 is not intimidating anymore. did it outside the power rack with no pins. did not even hesitate with this even though i'm only 196lb this afternoon. upping carbs a little now.

* resting elbows so stopped heavy upperbody pulling. upperbody push using overhead press is moving along without tiring my back. i watch the speed of the concentric closely and do not use a weight that gets me crawling up. needs to be quick so my back stays fresh.
* bw down to 196-198lb. as long as the 435 is routine, i don't feel like getting heavy/fat at this time.

* ~ = drop set with less than 1 min rest to take weight off. my back felt a little tired from the 155lb ohp yesterday. the 145lb ohp today is also too heavy too soon. i will keep it at 135-140lb max only and do drop sets for more volume.
* no work til wed night. might go 435 tmrw afternoon if i feel recovered already. bw at 198lb-202lb. eating frozen mango from costco for more carbs.

* 3 flat bench and usually occupied. did not bother waiting and used the seated machine. felt alright. will go light but high tonnage. need stronger upperbody push.
* the lat pulldown resistance is effectively halved by the pulleys. the 200lb max stack is 100lb. this is a lot easier to grip compared to the hammerstrength iso lat machine.

* the 45lb+25lb on the seated hammerstrength iso lateral press is too much already. i can feel my whole body tensing. not good in the long run. this machine holds 5-6x45lb and i'm already struggling with a plate. my grip at norrowest and seats at highest position to put stress on shoulders and triceps.

* close grip tricep machine press using the hammerstrength iso lateral press is only at 45lb+10lb to 10 reps. i tried 45lb+25lb but the tension was too much for my lowerback. i served my time doing dips up to 90lbx5 rep+ on weighted dips. where did all my upperbody push strength go. i look like i press 3 plates at least on this machine. i can barely do 1-1/2. lol.

* felt the same way as yesterday. not weak, not very strong. rows are getting easier. can't load more than 5 plates so will go 10 reps and see if my elbows hold up. skipped the one arm lat pulldown. my weak left elbow feels like its about to crap out on the vertical pull. horizontal pull is not affected.  woot.
