Chest and shoulders today. This is a short light w/o. Still have a little ways to go on the shoulder heal up.This w/o is the one where I have to be patient and smart. Both of those attributes have been fairly elusive for me . lol.
Lungs are clearing up so I am hoping for a nice o2 increase soon.
Hope you are all having a good week. heading out shortly. oh yeah my training partner resurfaced . This is good as he is a really good one.

[thebrick]

Hey guys... sorry I haven't logged in a few days...but I AM DONE! I graduated with my MBA... FINALLY COMPLETE. The official grades are not in but I believe my GPA was something around 3.94/4.0...

I've been having some real trouble sleeping, possibly stress. I am waking up every hours or so (and I'm not on tren) and then end up falling asleep around 4:00Am and I get up to hit the gym at 5:00AM. Still, training has been good.

I am not sticking 100% to the exercise selections I have listed in my program, but the major key exercises are staples (squats, rack deads..etc). For example, today i swapped 1-arm DB rows for 1-Arm landmine rows / t-bar rows.

So today was:

1-arm landmine rows 5x10
rack deads 4 x 10, 8, 6, 6 went up 10-20lbs
Stretchers 4x12
Superset of underhand pulldowns 3x8 and straight arm pulldowns 3x12
Low Cable wide neutral grip rows 4x8 last set was a quad drop set -> killer

 

[turbobusa]

Thanks T! Right now and probably for a very long tiem I am going to keep working for the Dept. of Defense. I can't beat the retirement benefits and work/life flexibility is incredible. Compared to private industry, the stress here is much less, I can take off whenever I want, people value spending time with family and encourage you to take care of yourself first and work later. Yeah, I would make a ton more with an MBA in private industry, but in the long run, this is probably the best option for me to pursue my fitness goals and professional career.

 

[turbobusa]

I'm expecting to see some tumble weeds come blowing trough here.
Hey where are is everyone? AA brick Jim and muah .
Hey I'm gonna go hit a great arm session. Talk soon... IB call home..

[AtomAnt]

What else is new, complete destruction this AM. Did Some Supersets to get that metabolic stimulus. I felt myself starting to go hypo towards the end and had to add some extra carbs... Had to be the effect of training which was definitely at a quick intense pace.

ss Db Bench 5 sets 15, 12, 10, 8, 8

SS Incline BB bench constant tension reps 4 sets of 6

Decline Smith Bench 4 sets of 8 and last set did a quad drop set

Where Is everyone? Been off the grid but in steady training to prevent catastrophic mental failure. Good shoulder session today, kinda loss of appetite and so I tapped out sooner than I would have liked.

Glad to see Jim back.. Always good to read his info..
Brick and Turbobusa glad to see u. PoP the top January so watch Out. Gosh I'm off..

 

[Ironbuilt]

OK so now where art thou?
Cardio and pretty good back day since I have dropped some exercises in my session which I am sure I over train. Now 4 exercises per body part and stacking weight for a shock effext and ive gained some amazing to myself strength
.possibly some shitty attitude helps too.. Anyway stay warm and have a good weekend you guys..
