I will probably be doing mostly elliptical

[Charlie67]

Going to be cripple tomorrow.

Vascularity starting to show.

All the vascularity in my legs is covered by a protective layer of excessive calories.

Worst part were calves. A large callus recently formed underneath forefoot, it hurt like a mofo

Got a good chest and tri workout in, then 25 mins elliptical. Never got under 50% incline, or 25% resistance. Did kinda a mix of liss and hiit. Definitely lost some water...lol

Guys I've got some fkin irritating phone shenanigans going on the now. The junkie phone is away but I'm still having problems. Took photos last night but my phone literally won't let me save them unless I'm taking the phone with the phone in my hand. Not a video like I usually do to get a full body shot.

I managed to get these photos. So that I have something to put up.

I would ask that I be given an extension or be allowed to use the after pics of last competition due to the issue I'm having. I am in the same condition as shown by the photos and if anything put at a disadvantage due to being pumped in my now befores.

Let me know what you think guys. Apologies for the hassle.

It's all good- end pics from last week or try again with pics this weekend.
I found when I took video/screenshots the quality was really low. Do you have anyone who can take pics for you?

Um... no thank you. That doesn’t look like something I would be a willing participant in.

[hollowedzeus]

Sorted now. Thanks for patience

Shoulders -

Seated DB press 2 wu 2 working
Seated Smith press 3 wo

Smith upright row 2 working
Cable lateral negatives 2 per side

Rear delt machine 1 wu 2 wo

Shrugs BB 1 wu 3 wo


Situation in room was much better than yday, still did poorly initially at the DB presses so moved to smith to squeeze delts for good. Upright rows done at smith feel good too. Finished in a pool of sweat, which also is good. Arms tomorrow.

Mr Smith is going to Robb you of ancillary muscle development.

In a Smith, I can get close to 400 up on flat bench, on real flat bench I did my all time pr of 325 1rm @ 165 lbs.

Say no to the Smith

That's why I use a Smith machine. It makes me feel better about myself

You're killin' it Hammer... Normally I'd say "Keep up the good work"... but with all that heat, I really think you deserve to go eat some donuts.

That's the advantage of Mr. Smith actually, to isolate load on target muscles. What's important is not to abuse it but it's a valuable piece of equip for the bodybuilder.

I don't normally shoulder press on the smith, but f.ex since today I performed bad at DB presses, I used the smith to save the day, but wouldn't have otherwise.

[BG]

Tomorrow morning will be the first time in 3 months. Would make the weekend fun.

Oh man going to be some stiff legs and dropping down to the toilet seat.

[hammerheart]

Thanks.

Lol donuts. It's beef time. Whom would eat donuts when there's beef.

[Capebuffalo]

Dropping down is the easy part. The toilet will stop me. I’ll have to tie a towel to the door knob to pull myself up. Lol

[Capebuffalo]

Going to be cripple tomorrow.

Leg extensions 1 warm 2 working

Leg Press 4 working

Hack squat 2 working

Seated leg curls 1 feeler 1 working

Ah ok, I hear that.

I use it from time to time. It has it's place, as you said. Not to be abused though.

I guess from a pure bodybuilding standpoint, it's better actually. Pump up a muscle.

10 sets flat BB bench
5 sets incline bb bench

You should black out your name on your under wear.

Got in a 15 min bike ride this afternoon, hard pedaling through mud, sand and hills. Legs are toast
