Great to hear T!

Had me a rocking chest, shoulders and tris workout. Felt out of this world and broke my logbook in stunning fashion on all exercises. I was feeling badass, so not only did I do my regular RP sets, after I did my Rp sets I did a minimum of two drops and at each drops I did a minimum of two RP sets. Felt so damn good. My shoulders looked stacked after training. Still sitting around 6.8%-6.9% bodyfat...

Incline Db bench (15-20RP) 10+5+2
Scoop Fly WM
Smith Behind the Neck Shoulder Press (15-20RP) Went up in weight 9+5+3
Side Lateral Descending WM
Decline Close Grip Smith Bench (15-20RP) 11+6+4
Overhead Tricep Ext WM

Work is freaking crazy right now...just taking a little break. I am so happy I am training in the AM anymore. Start the day off right!!!!!!

Do you feel like your work outs are better due to the am hormonal response or the lighter stomach? Just curious I may have to switch my training around too and kind of wondering how I will be setting up my peri work out nutrition and the timing of meal one.

My workouts are better because I train better with minimal food in me. Studies have actually shown that mid afternoon training is the optimal time to train. The AM hormonal response is negligible being on HRT IMO...

Dude, YOU HAVE A COACH.... Work with him on your peri-workout nutrition. These are the things you should ask him. Seriously, I am not being a dick, you are disrespecting Shelby by not asking him and taking advice from a forum instead. He NEEDS to know what you are doing to ensure you get the results you want.

I agree with Atom on the light stomach. Carbs and any fat weigh me down right before the workout. I do better with some protein and that's about it.

Had a good back day today brothers. Started out a little slow (sitting at the desk all morning) but came alive about 15 minutes into it. Finished with a bang and good pump. Reminded me why I train.

This is for off season NOTHING to do with shelby's prep. But definitely agree on the respect aspect there. Just wanted to shoot some ideas... :confused:

You need to be clear then.

OK, so my goal is to increase lean mass and promote recovery without fat gain. A bolus dose of BCAAs and EAAs will create a high insulogenic response (study has shown that a 30g dose of EAAs has a higher insulogenic response than 30g dose of glucose!). With this in mind I wake up and slam an EAA/BCAA mix and have a pre-workout drink. The insulogenic response stops catabolism and promotes protein synthesis.

Then, during training I take in another 25g EAA, 20g BCAA and 10g glutamine along with 40g HBCDs (or karboload). Post workout I have 75g carbs and 75g proteins. Post - post workout (90 minutes post) I have 40g carbs and 65g ptoein and 10g fat.

That give you some ideas? See, I ain't and asshole lol

Went to the gym this morning after working 12 hours. Normally does not go well but I needed to blow of some steam from work so it felt good.

Blasted chest shoulders and tris in 30 min.
I'm telling you guys... if you could train with me ONE time you'd change your tune forever regarding volume.

Back and traps, full blown outa sorts reckless abandonment with no regards to weights used.. Which means I tore the shit up in the 1.5 hr time allowed before I hit the airport.. Fuk Atom don't be a softy we are all dicks because it's true truth as what we read as put forth to us. Abs knows now his reckless off the wall future plans need to be told so no one is not to assume. Lol. If abs would only post what he did in today's workout session now.. This isn't some mini forum .

Lol that is pretty similar to the lay out I was going to run... got some ideas from John Meadows with cyclic dextrins, EAA/BCAA, L-glutamine, and hydro Isolates. Except I won't be running my carbs as high though... staying leaner this off season.

Good shoulder session today. I don't go real heavy anymore. The old joint just grinds, so I shoot for intensity, really squeezing the weight. Now the traps... the 'ol dog still goes heavy.

Make some noise in the gym brothers!
