15 days brother!!!!!!

Here is what is on the menu tonight


Machine press – Work up the weight doing a full range of motion with a 1 second squeeze doing sets of 10, until you get to a weight where you fail at 10 (true failure). That is work set number 1. Do 2 more sets there and on the third set, do a high intensity set and add two drops. After the second drop do partials until you hit complete failure.
Total Work Sets – 3

Machine flye – 4 sets of 10 here with a hard flex on every rep. On the 4th set do an extra 5 forced reps or cheat if you need to get them or drop the weight a tad to get a few more reps, then do a 7 second isohold, and then do partials to failure.
Total Work Sets – 4

Super Set
Dips – Leaning forward heavily to stretch your chest. 4 sets of 8-10 reps really flexing your chest at the top.

Stretch pushups – Just go to failure on each set
Total Work Sets – 8 (4 supersets)

Super Set
Machine rear laterals – Pyramid up. Sets of 20, 15, 12 and 10 reps increasing the weight each set. Hold the flex for 1 second in the contracted position on every rep.

Incline Bench Dumbbell Front Raises – Raise the DBs to above eye level and alternate hands when doing these. Kill all momentum at the bottom of the rep.
Total Work Sets – 8 (4 supersets)

Super Set
Dumbell side laterals – Do 10 reps here with strict form.

Over and back presses – Over and back equals 1 rep. Do 10 reps
Total Work Sets – 8 (4 supersets)

Hammer Strength Machine Press - 1 set of 25 reps to failure then increase the weight and do double drop set on your second set. Start with a set of 12 and once you reach failure, drop the weight, rep out, drop the weight and go again.
Total Work Sets – 2

Rope pushdowns – Warm up, then do a HARD set of 15. Rest is very short (you should barely catch your breath) and go to failure every set. 4 sets of 15, 12, 8, 8. Try to lock out on all sets, but as fatigue sets in you may not be able to get full lockout…no worries go to ¾ lockout and get your reps
Total Work Sets – 4

Seated rope extensions – Do these facing away from a pulley with the pulley set low. 3 sets of 12, and at the end of each set let it sit in the stretched position for a 10 count.
Total Work Sets – 3

Close Grip Smith Bench – Use a slow 3 second eccentric and push to ¾ lockout and then start right back up. Hit extreme failure on every set. Keep reps in the 8-10 range. On the last set do a double drop set and go to failure on each drop.
Total Work Sets – 3

Was gonna hit arms today but waited on the wife to get home and she didn't wanna go so naturally I didn't go.

 

[thebrick]

More tests and a biopsy for me in the next 2 weeks. They saw some things. What happens from here? Not sure just yet.

Its been a struggle to eat. I trained some arms yesterday. It helped.

Phoe, cherish your wife. Those things come first. Glad you have found your soulmate.

You all have a great weekend.

She's strong for her size.

 

[AtomAnt]

She's strong for her size.

Thank you!

Yeah, she doesn't fuck around... her strength has gone up a ton. She's "off" now and still holding on to strength, but we had to take volume down a tad. Her coach is one of my friends, as I refuse to do her diet LOL and he takes her through leg workouts and I train with her for the other days.

He's got her eating a ton and she is still pretty lean, very lean actually. After our wedding, she wants to step on the gas haha

With the exception of HRT (prescribed) I've been clean for a good while... it is sad when your girl uses more juice than you lol

 

[Sandpig]

That was awesome, Atom

 

[MattG]

Hit chest, back and delts as planned yesterday. Now i am watching myself shrink and let me tell you i fucking hate it! I was running drol on top of test, and was blowing up like crazy...biggest I've ever been. Then my old friend Mr. Gyno showed up despite running 25mg daily exemestane. Dropped the anadrol and waited a week but gyno didnt get any better, so I've been on letro for a week now which as always is shrinking my lumps up. But man, goddamn letro has dried me out bad, libido is gone, joints hurt like a bitch, and i've lost almost 10 pounds. Hate what you have to go thru when you get gyno

 

[Phoe2006]

Killed arms today on my lunch break

 

[Sandpig]

Matt, you'll get it back.

I've lost 13 lbs myself
Going back home to RI and CT in two weeks. I'm sure I'll put it all back on while I'm there
