Barbell bicep curl: 135 with good form, another 2 with some cheat in the back.

I’m not huge like Srjoker but I’m trying to score some underground trapple sauce so look out.

Can’t add much, expect that I look forward to keeping up with your progress.

Wow, I must be the worst log keeper on the site. What a let down eh? Bonerjams inspired me to get this thing going again.

Are you sure you need so many exercises per body part?? The volume does not seem efficient.

Yeah dude thats a tonne of volume!

Also a peach before training wtf dude eat 100g of pasta pre training!!

been trying to eat a piece of fruit right before training for a dose of fast digesting carbs. And yea the volume was a bit much. I’m unhappy with my back results so far so I thought I would try and really shock my lats into some growth.

I’m also talking about… really just the volume of what you have posted in this thread.

Are these movements getting you better results than hammering fewer with everything you’ve got would?

how often are you hitting back?

Yesterday:

1 Serving ANACONDA
Shoulder warmup

Bench (Week 6 of rep increase program)
135 X 8 (warm Up)
185 X 1 (warm up)
225 X 1 (warm up)

235 X 6
235 X 5 (missed the 6th rep)
235 X 6
235 X 5 1 assisted
280 X failed

I was way too tired. Horribly sore. Maybe doing the Hap Ki Do twice a week is too much. Wahta waste of precious ANACONDA.

Finished off with stretching and some clap push ups.

Stretch
Soft Ball work

Squat (belt)
135 X 8

Havent squated for over a month at the advice of some friends so I could work on my DL. It seems to have worked but I’ll be ssquatting regularily agin now. Also this workout was planned carefully. I have workouts planned for the next two days that require me to be in top notch condition.

I think you could benefit from a premade routine for a while…until you can deinitively say what you want.

That back day looks like…um, a drunk text. lol

You know what you want to do? Are you lusting after a PL comp or BB show?..just wanna turn heads when you show up to places?

That back day is not a regular occurrence. Also Your right, I dont know what I want to do. I do know that I want to compete. In anything. I’m leaning toward a BB show but I’d prep and enter a PL comp first chance I get. Jim Wendler said a good bit about how its never too early to enter a PL comp. Everyone is always going to want to wait until they are stronger etc.

I beleive that a focus in BBing will allow me to bring up my weak points/muscle imbalances better than focusing on PLing.

My immediate goal right now is to hit 5 plates on the deadlift by the end of the month.

how are your joints feeling with the bench program you are doing?
