When I got to the gym most of the people that were working out were finishing up. I had most of the gym to myself an had a great workout. I did a lot if press and fly super sets.
I'm getting close to finishing my cycle. I have about 5 pins to go. So far I've been able to put up 15 lbs without to much bf%! The PIP seems like it has gotten worse since I move on to my last vial. Nothin unmanageable though.
Tonight's menu
2 top sirloin steaks
1 German cheddar jalapeņo bratwurst
Asparagus, squash, zucchini grilled in coconut oil and seasoned with lemon pepper
Pinned glute today and killed legs.
10x10 squat again! I'm up to 245! I was feeling pretty shaky after that.
Hack squats 4 sets with 3 plates on each side..slowly working towards 4. Failure like to come quick with those after the 10x10's
Leg extensions
Leg curls
I'm going bak soon for some night time cardio..the dreaded step mill!!!
I'd be lucky if my knees don't pop squatting that!
I'm lovin the leg exercise after trying this one. Jeep pushin Z!
Yeah it's brutal! Thankfully human project turned me on to it. Between that and hack squats my quads are starting to widen out!!Quote:

Oh ya legs rock man.... Nothing gets me aggressive like a hard leg day ahead of me....Quote:

Tonight's leg workout was probably the most intense one I had in this cycle. It's 45 minutes later and my legs are still shaking.
10x10 @255 squats
Thi was extremely rough this week. I thought I was going to pass out on the last 3 sets. After the last set I dropped to my knees until the tunnel vision was gone.
Hack squats 2 sets @ 315 to failure, I set @ 405 to failure
Leg extensions 3 sets @ 10 reps
Seated leg curls 3 sets @ 10-12 reps
Seated calves 2 to failure
15 minutes of posing
Time to feed! Tonight's meal brought to you by Antoine Vaillant! I change mine up a little from his vid. I'm using kale instead of lettuce and stoneground mustard. No ketchup.http://youtu.be/A5khQ6v_93g
Sounds excellent!Quote:

That being said already up to 255 is impressive too.... Did you get though the whole 10x10??? If so your def gonna puke with the 260 next week..., I swear every time I bump up its a guaranteed puke day. Usually right at set 7... Set 7 is a tricky bastard bc the end still seems so far away.... Once you get to 8 it's seems like your about done lolQuote:

Inspiring for sure!
This is kind of cheesy, but when I feel like I can't get up/can't push, I flip to this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shDNaFhPiJY
And think of going into battle...lol. It's from the movie 300.
Dude if I were dieting like you I doubt I would even make it through the 10x10. I made it through the whole 10 but after set 7 my rests were definitely longer than 2 minutes. I don't know how 260 is going to go!! I had to use chalk to tally my sets on the floor so I didn't lose track last night. I don't even know if ill be able to do that with 260. I'm starting to blackout just thinking about it.Quote:

I had to use one hand to push my other hand close enough to my face so I could get the razor close enough lol..it took about 5 minutes longer than it should have! My arms were looking jacked though :) I checked my bf% with a handheld..in the past it had read me high. It said 16.7%. I'm pretty comfortable where I'm at right now. Ill lose it once I start my contest prep.
I'm not sure what your music style is, but I'm going to pm you some others now. The one I already sent has been my fav for a long time now :)
I would say that your cycle was very successful! You worked hard and have the results to prove it!
I use one of those hand held thingies too. Try setting it, starting it and laying it down (without your hands on it)... somehow it still does a reading?! LOL...
Lol yeah they have a mind of their own. I used a scale that supposedly reads decently..it said 15.7..I think once I start to cut ill do a before and after bodpod!Quote:
