Had a very good push day yesterday. Was feeling pretty strong so I decided to see what I could do on Barbell flat bench. Worked my way up to 500lbs for 1 rep and it went up easy. Didn’t try to max out just wanted to test the strength. First time with 5 plates on each side even though I think I could have done that much last offseason. I probably had another 25lbs in the tank.

Checkins with coach yesterday. Weight is down a little sitting at 278lbs. Feeling a lot harder lately at this weight. I guess I’m growing into this weight now.

Hey guys. We are doing a deload week this week and I won’t be logging anything. Will check in here and there until I get back at it! Have a great weekend!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Deload is going well this week. My hunger seems to be going up which is weird since I’m cruising right now. Body is feeling more energetic already. Looking forward to getting back at it next week. It will be exactly 7 weeks from tomorrow when we start prep. Getting excited!

Weekly checkins. Weight is down to 275lbs since starting my cruise at around 278lbs. Feeling tighter and body is feeling good during this deload week.

Quad day and it was pretty awesome. Hadn’t had a leg day like that in a while. Legs felt strong and so i kicked their ass. LOL, always nice to have a new PR while cruising. 11 reps at 24 plates on leg press. I had probably one more in me but didn’t want to push it that hard after coming off of heavy hack squats.

Had a really good push day today. Went wide grip on all movements for chest due to a tip from an IFBB pro my height. He has a great chest and he swears by it for longer arm front delt heavy people. I can’t argue against it. My pecs were pumped and didn’t feel anything in my front delts like I normally do.

Well had a slight setback yesterday doing legs. I tweaked my groin on the pendulum squat doing close stance of all things. It was also on a Backoff set which was lighter. Anyway on the way back up on my 9th rep I felt it and I had to rack it immediately. It’s a little tender today so will be taking it easy the next few days. Hopefully it will good to go here soon.

Good pull day. I had to make some adjustments my elbows are flaring up again. This happened last year as well. Tendinitis in both elbows suck but I have been pushing pretty hard during this cruise to keep progressing.

Had a great hamstring and glutes workout yesterday. Loving where my strength and recovery is at right now. I hope I can maintain this though most of my prep this time around. Will be managing training fatigue a lot better this around. If needed I will implement less volume if I see a big decline in training strength and intensity. Same with cardio. I will most likely move to elliptical vs treadmill as I get closer to end of prep.
