[bigcwithane]

Okay update for Friday. Ugh, it was rough for me I tried to keep it as clean as possible but I only got close to really food three times while I was in Cleveland so I had two " healthy granola bars" and two six in plain turkey subs on wheat, then I got home lifted and and had my pwo shake and went out to dinner for my moms birthday I had steak asparagus and broccoli, then they had cake and my aunt was just hasseling me about how I never eat pie cake ice cwean etc. So she peer pressured me into finishing hers so not that bad but it was the end so it hadthe most icing. Anyways all in all it wasn't awful and my weigh in at the army was 195 probley do just to water I'm looking a little better in the mirror I think and I wouldn't say any weigt was muscle because I have had no time for cardio this week, so I will definitely kick start the cardio Mon. And turkey say won't affect me I'm only eating turkey and my grandma is making me my own special sweet potatoes, but they are canned so they might have some sugar.

Sounds like your still moving forward. Good stuff.
Your 1RM's are impressive. WAY more than I can do that's for sure.

[bigcwithane]

Thanks first. I've been doing good on my diet besides the little bumps from Thursday, And friday.

[bigcwithane]

Alright yesterday was the start of a new w.o routine. It webt like this

Deadlift 10x10 225lb
One arm row 5x20 40lb
Db curls 3x20 55lb

Also did 30 min fasted cardio in the am, diet was 100% I missed one meal though because i was running around like a chicken with my head chopped off finishing up my army paper work.

3 sets of 20 with 55lb db's. That's damn impressive.
I bet you could up the weight on those rows though. (are they bent over rows?)

Nice job big. Keep it up.

Are you sure you didn't switch those poundages up, I don't think I can do 20 reps of dumbbell curls with 55's.

[bigcwithane]

It was barebell curls and dumbbell rows

Update for today
No cardio
Bench 3x15 155, 165, 170
Incline 3x15 135

[bigcwithane]

It was the straight bar with 5's on each side

[First6]

Oh okay. I was gonna say! LOL
That sounds more like it.

Diet has been 100% - I LOVE hearing this! Keep it up.

[bigcwithane]

Yeah that is way to much for a set of 25.

Update for today
Leg ext. 3x25 40,50,60
Ham curl 3x35 40,50,60
Seated Calf raise 3x25 95
Bicycles 3x20
Toe touch 3x20
It was a okay workout I don't feel like my legs got that much of a pump like how all my other w/o have been. The abs were really hard though.
Also diet was 95% today I had a couple noodles that my mom made and a small small small bite of pumpkin roll. But all and all not to bad. Posting pictures sat too. And turkey day won't me to bad for me so I shouldn't harm anything.

[bigcwithane]

Ended up eating more pasta but I put it in my calorie counter and my carbs are fine for the day. Calories were still in check. Just wasn't a very cleav source

[tbody66]

I'm liking all of what I'm seeing, it's okay that the legs aren't "feeling" it, since we are focusing on brining the back up, your legs will not shrink during this program, I promise, and if you aren't feeling it to heavier or do some top off reps on your last set.

Can't wait to see the pics.

[bigcwithane]

Update for today
30 min fasted cardio

Bent over row 2*12 145,155 1*10 165
Lat. Pulldowns 2*12 135,140 1*12 150
T-rows 2*12 135,140 1*10 150

I felt like this workout was a good workout but it just went really fast I'm used to taking longer than a half hour to lift. But besides that it was good plus my back is sore from monday.

[Twist]

Don't work back if it is sore. Lower back is the most common of injuries and it takes the longest to heal out of all muscles in the body (that I know of).

Great job hitting the gym on TG day! It will do you well.

[bigcwithane]

Thanks twist yeah ill be good to Deadlift on Monday. My lower back isn't like ache hurting pain its like sore not used to a 10*10 workout sore

[bigcwithane]

I don't think turkey day is going to derail me. I had one player of sweet potatoes(candied) turkey and broccoli cheese casserole End. But I am stuck at my grandmas until late so im just gonna eat turkey the rest of the day.

How's the partner doing with this?

Very important here, also, are you keeping your abs tight during all of your back exercises?

everything has been good besides thanksgiving was a little worse than i thought not a lot tho. i only had a bite of my girlfriends pie because she said i never eat any and it was thanksgiving, the sweet potatoes I ate werent healthy sweet potatoes and turkey is turkey, also had a little bit of ice cream. i dont think all of this killed me but i would have been better off if thanksgiving wasn't real haha.

partner is doing the same split and body parts on the same day but is keeping it is the 8-12 rep, and he has been pretty sore he says.

I think i keep the core tight when i deadlift, but i cant honestly say yes because i wasn't paying attention. will do on Mon. though.And yes the 10x10 is a killer, this is a first for me so I need to get used to it.

Yes we are, little big man, so you just pose and post and we'll do the rest, and don't worry if there isn't change then we'll change things so there is!

If anyone can't notice the differences they are blind. Dude your pecs are pulling up, your waist is dropping, the love handles are shrinking and the lats are widening. You are rocking it!

Update for Sunday. It got crazy my first three meals were perfect. Then I went to a concert with some friend unplanned and I didn't get to eat for 8 hrs. Once I got home I was so hungry I walked on and saw brownies and ate them not even knowing because I was so hungry then I was like sh1t you f'ed up. So I made my casein and layer down. Hopefully it didn't mess stuff up nut I was starving I only ate 900 calories and I was in moshpits just sweating so much it was a sauna.
