seemed to work. Wasn't cashing out on the 4th and 5th set.Might even keep the first 3 sets the same weight as today and just up the last 2 each workout.

easier way for me when it comes time to stack them at the gym. I don't want to stand there calculating shit lol

Going to start 5x5 like this for squats and go back up. This is Per side not including bar.
35/50/65/80/95x5 Friday
40/55/70/85/100x5 Monday

Add 5lbs/side each lift each day

thats such an odd way to list the weights hahahaha

My weights been stuck around 220, Ridiculous lol
Did my 2nd workout of that 5x5 workout. I like it so far, I gotta figure out a better way for squats as Im getting cashed by the time im on my 5fh set. Ive got the weight per set wrong.

Lat spread just for shits and giggles.



Getting there though. A little bit closer to my goal week by week. Carb cycling a lot and really counting everything I eat. No cheats.

Down to 185. About a month ago I was 195.

Taking a thermogenic and I have been taking some BCAA's. I feel good with the BCAAs so I ordered a ton more and also got some l-glutamine. Other than that I just take protein and creatine.

Was able to hit 265x2 on squats today. No belt. Felt good to do that. Most I've ever moved on squat I think.

Edit:

I've also come to the conclusion I have a sensitivity to eggs. I've been dealing with intense stomach cramps and digestion issues for a while now. One day I didn't have them and I didn't feel as bad. Now it's been a full week with no eggs and I feel really good. Really sucks though as I love egg whites.

I have some cinnamon bun flavored casein and I have been making protein oatmeal in the morning. It's fantastic and it's been working well.

Ran my first 5k today in just under 25 minutes. Pretty satisfied with that.

Also my gf snapped a pic of my back. I think once I lean out more it'll be a bit better.

going to switch it up to the Icecream fitness 5x5. See how that works for me.

forever lifting alone lol. Today was bench day. Might increase the weights for next week. I slacked the last 2weeks. ate like shit, drank like every night. Today I stacked the fridge with good foods

haha I got sick again this weekend. Think its time to go get some blood work done, Seems like the lighter/more healthy I get the easier/more often I get sick. Couple people have suggested it may be due to my 6day training over training. Maybe I'll rework it to 4 days a week.

finally got a gym partner again so I can start upping my bench. Managed a personally best lastnight but its still crap for the size i am.

that's kinda similar to what i do before work out andrew

[benz88]

My accidental cut has me down to 230-5 now. BUT Im losing a lot of strength

I still have yet to lose strength on my cut that everyone said would make me weaker lol.

Kinda Pissed off with the Post Office. Got a new Cycle of Ephedrine for an EC Stack shipped on the 1st of april and it's still not here when it was supposed to be 10days ship max. If I had known I would have spent the extra 20 and got it local. Now I'm a month behind with my "helper" diet.

andy does that article say, how you should warm up instead then?

It might be in there, I'd have to read through it again.

I always do about 8-10 minutes of warm up cardio. Usually on the stairs. Just hard enough to break a sweat and get the heart rate up a little, but not so I feel exhausted.

Then I always do about 2-4 warm up sets on my first lift before heading into the working sets. Seems to work really well for me.
