    So what I am really reading here.....is I can't go less anymore?

    Today I felt great. The partials felt good. Way different than I have ever done. I maxed out. My back was strong.

    Now 4 hours later and after a crap ton of carbs I could actually do more! Is that normal??

    You have a duty to not do less.
    Robert E Lee said Duty, then is the sublimest word in our language. Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more; you should never wish to do less.

    No. That's not normal. You are not normal. You are a beast. I have no idea how your body would want more after that. You are crazy strong with crazy strong endurance. I stand humbly before you.

    posted this on zeus thread, thought it may help some guys here just before workout

    I could easily talk and motivate you into a mindset that will make the next few workouts be tremendous but its keeping that mindset and being consistent with it which reaps amazing results. If it was easy we all would be walking around like freaks but its not easy and it takes a life time to learn and understand. My mindset was my strongest part of my body I even sacrificed many important things in my life to try and become the best I could. The cost was dearly but I was so driven nothing would change the way I felt.

    Have you ever gone into the gym and just started training doing a certain number of reps certain number of sets, looking at your phone between sets, talking to your friends and picking machines what are easier to train on and not as tasking as other movements? I bet the answer is YES because I have and I am sure everybody as. I see it daily and even seen the same guys over the last 10-15 yrs who I know who have stuck it out in the gym still there yr after yr not changing and training the same but coming up to me saying wooow man how do you do it lol.

    Its simple but hard to put in practise but let me go over a few things what might make you think a bit different. Food - you have to consistently feed the body to achieve your goal and once you reach this you have to consistently increase the food intake to maintain the desired goal, this alone is hard work the mindset of this is a whole new level of dedication trust me. Eating to feed the body because every few lbs you put on you have to increase your food intake, and I know you may say you can eat for England but think about eating more and more to support another 40-50lbs. Food becomes a source to maintain and grow and it becomes a vicious circle, you want it you got it eat your way to the top.

    I am sure you know I train HIT so my training is intense and takes one hell of a mindset and motivation to get through one of my training sessions. I truly believe I am gifted with my mindset and drive. I will NOT go into a gym and waste sets and reps going through the motions, I try not to but obviously at certain times I do I'm lying if I say I don't but overall I wont waste that session. I dig deep inside myself and talk to my inner self, this starts before the gym and throughout the session. I talk to myself, I talk and dig so deep into the darkest parts of my mind to release the inner demon what is waiting to be released. I do have certain things I do which I will repost in another post for you which will help but for me any session starts within my mind. I can release my adrenalin within seconds because I am so use to doing it, I have my pre sets rituals I go through to ignite the fire within me and I make that set which doesn't last long the best I possibly can. I am there for one reason only - to grow bigger and stronger and become a freak so I make fucking heads turn. That was my mindset and fuck everybody else I will be that monster I will go to failure and beyond and I will train harder than anyone I know to become the best I can. I dig deep into my life events what ignite terror, what make me so angry I cant even talk about it, I will think of things what make me shiver what ive been through, seen and what make me want to go insane - I use all this and channel it into that set, that tiny little fucking set of a few reps to failure and beyond to force my body into growth to make it have no alternative but to grow because its under serious stress and overload. It all starts within your mind learn this and you will be different than anyone else. I get so channelled into a set I go deaf, I hear a muffled sound and everything around me goes in slow motion, I am in my space and I at one with my body, I know and it knows there is going to be an attack which I need to be ready for.

    You want gains you find that inner self and talk to it, you find those demons and play with them because once you release the power of the mind doing a set is a release of that energy. Think about what ive just said for one min............... You dig so deep into your inner self and find that demon, that fire, that adrenalin and that spirit of fight or flight and you will feel an unbelievable build up inside yourself and the only release is that set in front of you, that weight, that tiny fucking set of weights in front of you what is your answer for the release of that built up energy you have made inside yourself.

    I believe the mind is a wonderful thing and you can use the good and bad parts of your life experience to fuel your goals for the future. I know what fuels me and there are many ways to achieve this all you got to do is find yours. Find your training style, be consistent in everything you do and never waste a set or reps make them count that's the reason why your in the gym to make a difference to yourself, no on else is going to hand it over to you its all down to you and its a fucking long road ahead but you need to take the first step along that road to reach your goal and dig deep inside of yourself and make it count. Make heads turn

    Hi all!

    Nice post about drive Marcus.

    I wonder though, maybe I'll try to tap into some hippie love feeling to move those weights and see if that works too?
    Philosophically speaking, love is a powerful (perhaps the most powerful) emotion, so I'll see if it can live those weights to move instead of just unleashing that hellish fury of my reptilian brain. Lol.
    I'll report back once I know how that goes.

    Food. That's the problem.
    I'm trying (not so much trying as just doing) to eat dirtier.
    I'm so tried of the non stop eating that even reaching a surplus with cheesecake and burgers ain't appetizing nor easy.

    Time to order some weight gain powder I guess.
    Liquid food rocks. (It's a shitty substitute, but it does work)

    Eating clean isn't very difficult, eating clean and enough is though.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Wish you all a happy Sunday!

    i hear you my man its been to the point for me for a long time that eating is for function and purpose not taste so its not enjoyable for me to eat clean either but I do and I agree to get the calories in is tough...liking the hippie love vibe angle you don't kill the weights bro, you love them...

    Anger is what drives me when with the iron, The Big Man taught me a few things. I love it i love my session i don't go in angry or be angry with anyone, but when i am sitting the with them bells with me ear plugs in i think i use what i have been through and it fires me up from my feet i am so fucking angry i just life i never think of the weight.
    It works for me great tool.

    Now 4 hours later and after a crap ton of carbs I could actually do more! Is that normal??

    Just remember to allow yourself a pull back from beyond failure every 4-6 weeks or so. 4 weeks is about the max I can go.w/o moving backwards. You really have latched onto this very well. If you're liking the beyond failure protocol where you incorporate partials, try a slow 10 count negative just on the partials for now for a little more stimulation. I looked back through the lifts.you have posted, and you seem to be very strong on your back exercises. LOL, I suspected you were just from the kick@ss back shot you posted.
    If.you don't know.what I mean by pullback/dropping the beyond failure tools for a week or two every so often, post up and anyone of us will be glad to walk you through it. I think everyone goes through a pullback slightly different, but if you get right down to where the rubber meets the road, a pullback is basically when you lift to failure, but don't use any beyond failure tools such as forced reps, negative only reps, partials, etc.
    Again a pullback is needed periodically just to let your CNS recover from that wonderfully painful stress that is a part of HIT.
    I hope I worded that it reads properly. As far as the timing of the pullback, your body will let you know. It may take a few times to learn to recognize when it is time, but it will get to the point that you will know.

    Re: being able to lift with the same intensity 4 hours after I worked a body part, I couldn't do it. Mentally, my mind may want to do it, but I know if I tried, I.would probably end up with another injury. On the other hand, you seem to be extremely well conditioned, so I'm sure you would give it run for the money.

    Well said Ag. She's been really training HIT 3-4 weeks. With her endurance I figure she has 2 more weeks before pull back. She's listening to her body and takes an extra rest day if needed.

    You've seen her lifts. Your thoughts?

    Find what ever tool you have in your chest to drive that motivation to have the best workout your possibly can. Some use music, some use past traumatic events, some can just turn the light switch and go, so think of the loved ones or their children. What ever lights your fire find it and use it to your advantage.

    Sorry for not posting much recently,.but have been very busy taking care of the beast. He seems to be improving slightly and the vet thinks I may be right about this.being a reaction to the heartworm/flea medication he takes called Trifexis. There are a few reports online of similar reactions that people are attributing to that medication, but no definite data. He is drinking plenty of water and passing urine very well and also has been getting.up and walking around for 5-10 minute spells, so as long as he isn't suffering and is making improvements, Mrs AG and I.will take turns sleeping and staying outside with him. If he gets to the point that he can't function or is pain, then we will do the humane thing. It will hurt if it comes to that, but thats the price we pay for all.of the love and devotion they give us.
    I did try to work chest last night, but it is.too soon. As soon as I hit my second warmup/feeler set, I.got a brutal pain behind my.left.eye, so I called.it off. I'm not out of the game yet, lol, just have to get over.this head injury. There's still some blood moving around sub q and has settled over my left eye, so I look like hammered shit multiplied by 2. If I make any typos, please disregard them. I keeps disposable scapels on hand and started to make a quick small cut in one area at my l. eyebrow, but Mrs. AG walked in and begged me not to, so I didn't to keep her from any excess worries. Every time I do a little home surgery she freaks out. You would think after all of the close calls that I've had, she would realize I'm fairly durable.
    Have been doing lots of cryo therapy.with the homemade ice packs.and.it is keeping the swellimg down somewhat and helps with the discomfort. I generally.don't take too many pain meds other than NSAIDS and occasionally Flexeril, but I.did take 1/2 of a 7.5mg Lortab just to knock the edge off

I looked back through the lifts.you have posted, and you seem to be very strong on your back exercises. LOL, I suspected you were just from the kick@ss back shot you posted.
    If.you don't know.what I mean by pullback/dropping the beyond failure tools for a week or two every so often, post up and anyone of us will be glad to walk you through it. I think everyone goes through a pullback slightly different, but if you get right down to where the rubber meets the road, a pullback is basically when you lift to failure, but don't use any beyond failure tools such as forced reps, negative only reps, partials, etc.
    Again a pullback is needed periodically just to let your CNS recover from that wonderfully painful stress that is a part of HIT.
    I hope I worded that it reads properly. As far as the timing of the pullback, your body will let you know. It may take a few times to learn to recognize when it is time, but it will get to the point that you will know.

    Re: being able to lift with the same intensity 4 hours after I worked a body part, I couldn't do it. Mentally, my mind may want to do it, but I know if I tried, I.would probably end up with another injury. On the other hand, you seem to be extremely well conditioned, so I'm sure you would give it run for the money.
    Extremely important and to note being able to train with the same intensity 4 hours after a intense workout should tell you something very important

    My thoughts? She is mentally and physically tougher than 80-85% of the people that lift and she does so with an incredible drive. She would outwork pretty much anyone (male or female) without a doubt.
    In another 6-8 weeks, I think we will all struggle to keep up with her. Personally, I find it motivating as fvck.
    I'm thinking you're dead on it about her pullback. I had a little mental bet withyself that it would be somewhere around 6 weeks, and that if she didn't take a pullback we might have to sedate her.

    Everything you just said is 100% true. Lol. I don't know sedation would work. We'd probably have to lock her in a room for a bit.

    It does tell me something very important. Lol.

    But I couldn't have done it. Maybe a couple lifts with light weights, but that's strictly me telling myself I can do it in my mind.

    After I wrote that, I did a little shopping and then rested on my couch. I had nothing left but laziness

    For sure aware of my back and arms from elbows up . Feels great.

    You're right about that, Cape. Marcus has mentioned a certain room at his place. Called it a cellar, I believe.


    Fitchick, if.anyone around mentions the word "cellar", rip off one of their ears,.throw it in one direction, and you run in the opposite direction.

    Ha ha!!! You might have to sedate me! Lol!

    If my thyroid crashes and my meds T3 and T4 stop working that it the only thing and cortisol that can drop me.....:knocking on wood that never happens again.

    Great advice and I am glad you agree with cape. Maybe we can arrange my pull back when I am in cali at my parents farm for a few days in mid June. Oh wait that's way too late.
