Will I guess I'm 2 weeks into prep? That went quick lol.
Stepped on the scale this morning since I was waiting for that and I'm at 247. That's up about 8lbs and a little heavier then I would have guessed but I'm holding the same if not a little better condition. Hard to tell with no pics this far.
Part of the reason I decided not to take pics at all or, even look at myself post workout, it's because I didn't want to get in my head. These first four weeks I HAD to increase calories and try to get some tissue back. Now I knew I wouldn't recover it all but I needed to get some progress going. I knew I might get softer but whatever.
So bare with me. Two more weeks and I'll put up "starting" pics of when I do start "cutting".
Today was lower muscle rounds. Buried every fucking rep. Felt my quads all the way up my hips. It's funny, I didn't feel that before my injury..... Better ROM maybe? Feeling the rep with a better tempo for sure.
Leg press (feet low and close, toes not turned) - 14 plates *26
Leg press (feet high, midstance, toes out) - 14*23
Quad extension - 140*26, 140*23
Glute ham raise - 90*22, 21
Calf press ss body weight raise (move from one to the other no rest) - 200*10*10 bw*10*10
These are 10 reps on the press, ten reps standing, ten reps on press and so on for 10 rounds
Adductor - 130*22
Preacher Curl - 90*23
Bb curl - 45*25(no rest after Preacher Curl MR)
PUMPS. My good lord pumps.
