Im doing deadlift tomorrow.

I go to an LA Fitness. I like it and all, but I'll never reach my goals at a place like that

chest is killing me in a good way, tomorrow is leg day!

I need to find a new gym, my current one is starting to get a planet fitness type of vibe in there

Did chest as well today. Flat BB bench, incline DB bench, incline fly, pullovers, and a few sets of dips. Then followed up with some an work and suicides in the bb ball court.

Supposed to do back tomorrow. Going to go indoor rock climbing so I'll hit legs instead.

fuck suicides lol

this chick asked what I was up to this afternoon. I said "meal prep". She had no idea what I meant. So I took some pics. Here they are. 3.5 pounds of meat, 6 cups of jasmine rice, 18 hard boiled eggs. Theres also some habanero salsa and a bunch of avocados involved. Oh and Sam Summer

And ingredients to make chicken pot pie tomorrow night

Did like 15 sets on the old bench today. Worked up to 300. Then did pause bench (pause for 2 sec 1 inch away from chest) up to 250.

Emailed a new gym that sounds promising. Waiting to hear back from them with some pricing and training schedule info

chest day today.

new to this forum. Weighing in at 195 right now. I dropped from 220 to 170 last year and have worked my way up in muscle from there.

Today is bench day for me. I do things differently, so its bench day not chest day lol. I think Im gonna work up to heavy paused singles


Also, I decided to find a new gym. So today starts that mission

Watched a dude out of nowhere tonight throw a bench clear across the gym. Luckily it was empty. Then Flip out cause a dude dropped a plate a little too quick across the gym and threw another and hit the guy. Had to break up the fight as it was only really chicks in there at the time besides Us three dudes lol.

So I've come up with a bit of a plan for myself over the next couple months. Been tough sticking to a good plan this summer due to a little traveling, work, and being sick but I've come up with what I think should be a solid plan.

Nutrition wise I'll be doing a lot of carb cycling. I'll go 2 days low carb (bout 75-100 grams) with higher fat (roughly 70 grams) and 210 grams or so of protein. That puts me right around 2000 calories a day. Then I'll do a high carb day 250+ grams with lower fats (50ish grams) and keep protein a smidge lower to at 190 grams. These days will be right around 2200+ calories. Sundays I'll have a cheat meal.

Sup wise I'll be your usual proteins, BCAA's, creatine, and I am going to cycle a fat burner for the next month (Shred Jym by Jim Stoppani, supposed to be really awesome and safe).

Training wise is 5 days a week. I'm not going crazy with cardio anymore. Little warm up, steady state cardio 3 times a week for 15 minutes and then hiit cardio 2 times a week with maybe some walking on the weekends.

Most lifting sets will go 15, 10, 8, 6 reps and drop sets on some excersises. I feel this kind of pyramid gives me really good pumps. I'll do that for 3 weeks, then go heavy 1 week with 5 reps and below, then go back up with reps the neat week and switch up excersises and the order of them to keep the body guessing. Planning to do this for 3 months. Also keeping rest times at about 1 minute between sets. Maybe a little less for small muscle groups and a bit more for bigger groups.

Currently at about 193 lbs at 17% body fat. We'll see what it's like in 3 months.
