Time to stop messing around and grow, already!

True that. Plus, being so focused you don't really remember doing sets, or going to heavy your vision gets blurry. Nothing beats it. It also looks badass whenever you go to bench and all of the veins in your chest, shoulders, and arms bulge out.

I like doing leg press really heavy, and then a fart squeezes out because I'm pushing so hard

aild54 · 11-02-2009, 04:09 PM

Personally, I fart like right before I squat. It allows me to focus on the exercise, not keeping a fart in/letting it out.

Sometimes when i fart before I squat it makes my cheeks slipper..... Nevermind. Sorry bout that chris. lol

Hahaha, it's all good, Mike. I swear, ever since I started eating the "right" way, I fart like 20x more. They're super brutal, too.

This morninggg...
5 minutes on the treadmill
Dynamic stretches
Flat bench
45x13x2
75x8 (warm-ups)
115x6
135x6
145x4
150x4 Personal best

BB rows
45x13x2 (warm-up)
95x6
115x5
125x4 (poop form)
95x5

Reverse grip pulldowns
70x6
90x6
110x5 Personal best...I think?

I realized that with BB rows, I don't pull the WHOLE way up. So, I'm going to start doing less weight and get it through my ****ing head to stop and squeeze. I do with every other back exercise...except that. Push presses don't hurt anymore, but I'll take it easy on my shoulder until my upcoming deload is over. My diet has been awesome lately. This is the first time in my life that my boxers, pants, and shirts are feeling tighter. This is also the first time I've been slapping more weight on the bar EVERY time I lift. I'm really happy, so let's keep this **** rolling. HIIT last night and some more today...

**projecthatch92** · 11-03-2009, 10:58 AM

look at you chris, hitting 2 PR's every workout

**mikeh40+** · 11-03-2009, 04:40 PM

rmike · 11-03-2009, 06:21 PM

Very nice work chris! Them pb's are pouring in for you, keep doin it brotha! You have been making great progress. I need to be as diligent as you are dietwise, lately I have been eating bad. Just not the right stuff, the past week has been rough but I made a promise to myself to do better and I cant let myself down. Right buddy? Haha right!

Mikeeee, if it comes down to not having time for meals, don't be scared to skip a workout. I'll skip a workout before I skip a meal.

Haha, thanks, guys. I owe it all to having better form, spot on diet, tons of sleep, and lifting in a 4-6 rep range. Expect new pics in the next couple of days. I had a "special" girl taking my last pictures, and we no longer hang out. I got my best friend to take my newer ones. He has an awesomeee camera, so, the quality will be a little better on these upcoming ones.

n88tr · 11-04-2009, 01:08 PM

How are things going buddy? You've put on some size besides what those emaciated pics show in your album??

Really well, man. Thanks for asking. My strength has been shooting up, but I'm not sure about size. For a while, I started putting on fat, or I was retaining a **** load of water, so I backed off on my carbs. I'm not sure about mass gains, I guess we'll see in these upcoming pictures. I look in the mirror every day, so I can't really judge.

aild54 · 11-04-2009, 06:38 PM

Oh ya, I forgot to post this morning's workout. I watched a video about squatting pre-workout, so I had squats on my mind. Because of that, I accidentally did them first. Oh well.

5 minutes on the treadmill
Dynamic stretches
BB back squats
45x13
95x8 (warm-ups)
135x6
155x6
175x5 Personal best
135x6 (super slow and deep)

SLDL
135x6
155x6
185x6-drop-155x4-drop-135x4

Anddd that was that. I was extra hungry today, but also super sleepy. i dunno why, though. I'm going to try to get 9 1/2 hours of sleep tonight, and hopefully some more at school.
KETO MONDAY!

**projecthatch92** · 11-04-2009, 07:18 PM

aild54 · 11-04-2009, 08:05 PM

Haha, I realized how perverted it sounded after I said it.

**projecthatch92** · 11-04-2009, 08:33 PM

aild54 · 11-05-2009, 07:35 AM

Hahaha, "that's right, boy. Get in there nice and deep-like."
Good find, Phil.

aild54 · 11-06-2009, 07:56 PM

Todayyy, I did a little more than usual. This is because I deload next week, so why not tear it up?

5 minutes on the treadmill
Dynamic stretches
Lat pulldowns
35x13x2
50x8 (warm-ups)
70x6
90x6
100x6
110x5 Personal best

DB rows
40x6
50x6
60x6

BB shrugs

235x5 Personal best

BB curls

65x6
70x4
45x21's
45x15's -drop-DB curls-10x8

One arm pulldowns
20x12x3

For the one arm pulldowns, I was alternating between hands, with no rest at all. It was just to pump up my lats. Crazy pumps today. I start keto on Monday, and I'm pretty excited. I'll type up my diet on Sunday night for you all to see. I have a pretty good idea of what's going down. It's going to be ****ing awesome. I have a feeling I'm going to have to go a little higher than the calories I have written down. Right now I'm getting 2650-2850 cals a day, and not gaining much bodyfat at all. We'll see how it comes together when I start, but if I don't gain much, I'll bump up my cals both during my carb up and during my low carb days. I'm really, really excited. YOU GUYS DON'T EVEN KNOW!

**mikeh40+** · 11-06-2009, 11:15 PM

Haha, I'm not trying to shed any, YET. I'm bulking with keto. It'll be nice to have a supressed appetite, especially whenever I do cut. Thanks for the kind words, Mike.

aild54 · 11-07-2009, 01:03 AM

I would eat more, butttt keto in a few days. Are you guys as excited as I am?

**projecthatch92** · 11-07-2009, 01:29 AM

Omg so excited. I could harly sleep last night.

Chris, I posted some new pics in my log. Give me some criticism!!

**mikeh40+** · 11-07-2009, 07:36 AM

talk about excited, yea i keep walking around the house in circles wondering about this new diet,,

aild54 · 11-07-2009, 10:24 AM

I knew you guys would be off the walls with excitement, too. Hahaha, ahhh, almost workout time.

aild54 · 11-07-2009, 12:30 PM

I actually had a workout partner today, it was nice.

5 minutes on the treadmill
Dynamic stretches
Seated military press
10'sx13x2
45x8 (warm-ups)
65x6
85x6
100x5
110x4 Personal best

Decline DB bench
30'sx6
40'sx6
50'sx6
52.5'sx6

Skulls
45x8
65x6
70x6
45x21's

Rotator cuffs

Anddd that's a wrap. I'm out of weight to slap onto the dumbbells. I'm getting more for Christmas, and I won't be doing decline DB bench anymore until then. So, it's all good. I had a cheat meal on Thursday, and I'll have another small one tonight at work. I don't normally cheat this much, but keto starts on Monday, and I won't cheat while on that. The most I'll cheat is once a month, on my carb up days. It's my way of getting taste desires out of the way, for now. Plus, the extra calories won't hurt.

**HawaiianPride.** · 11-07-2009, 12:45 PM

Congrats on the PB. Here's some greenage for motivation homie, you better pay me back with another PB next session!

You could probably have a cheat meal everyday and you would still be shredded. Congrats on the PB, they always make you comin back for more.

I like and I don't like having a training partner. It always helps for motivation reasons, but I find myself talking way too much inbetween sets. I'm just a chatty cathy
