Yeah I saw your comment on Andy bobs picture so I figured you knew him. Didn't realize we were all connected in some way. I've had a pretty solid week so far as far as the workouts go. I've actually thrown in some jump rope inbetween sets on shoulder day and been doing cardio about three times a week. But running in vibrams keeps you on your toes so my calves have been sore for days. But they are probably my #1 body part that needs work. Ive been mixing up my workout and throwing in some big super sets to kill me early. And then have to go light the rest of the workout. It never fails that when I get to the end of a drop set some cute girl comes in or walks by and I'm over here curling 10 lbs dumbbells.

Looking solid James.

I'm doing a hard ass diet right now. Cutting back to about 2000-2500 calories per day and carb cycling. Sundays I have about 300g's carbs to load up. Then Monday I have about 175 grams, and Tuesday about 110 grams. Then back to 175 and so on. It's working really well. I'll have to grab a pic.

Also, you guys are some fucking beasts with squats. I can hit 225 for 6 but I like doing volume for legs. My typical sets for squat go: 3 warm up sets, then my working sets of 15,12,10,8,8,6 and a drop set. Then into 6 sets of front squat, dead lifts, Romanian dead lifts super setting with lying leg curls. Then I superset leg extensions with leg curls.

My legs no longer fit in 2 pairs of jeans.

Welp time to get serious again.
I'm swearing off booze for 45 days, sticking to a strict regimen for eating, amping up my running, and doing a full body routine for that whole 45 days.

Goals are to drop 10lbs, run a 7 min mile, bench 230lbs, squat 250lbs, and dead lift 250lbs.

I squat twice A week, Im increasing pretty good right now at 20lbs a week. Currently at 255 up from 200 at the begging of Feb.

[JLowery28]

I just finished the isatori "hyper growth plan" and I enjoyed it. The whole program is geared toward raising your bench 20 lbs and squat max 40 lbs. it's a 28 day program so those are good gains for such a short program. My initial squat max was 375 and when I finished it was 415 so it worked. But my bench max only went up 10 lbs. but I was supposed to max on Monday and I didn't end up maxing until Saturday so it had been almost 2 weeks since I had done barbell bench at all. So I figure it's my fault. But bulking season is over and it's time to lean down. Hit a max weight of 190. Currently around 186. I'm debating doing a physique show this summer but I haven't decided. Here's a picture of me from today. Typical mirror underwear selfie.

[Average_Jerk]

Chest day today, Did Legs yesterday and Managed to not bail doing squats this time lol

Also my old Gym Snap Fitness fucked me over and charged me for March, Even though I gave them the month notice that they asked for. My Credit Card company won't do shit either. I advise everyone to stay away from those crooks.

I used to work for them, I can confirm they are crooked

[Average_Jerk]

Testing all my one rep maxes this week. Starting The Cube Method on next Tues. Its a program designed by one of the lifters I follow. 4 days a week which is exactly what Im looking for to fill me schedule.
