Today it was awful so I don’t feel like logging much

Do you have a photo of this dog ? Hahaha

What do you mean when you write not hanging leg raises ?
Keep logging I follow it :wink:

Not yet but I’ll take one.Here’s a pic of my dog for the time being

Lmao I mean these ones

Thanks for following bro

A post to organize my thoughts a bit and look before I go lift

Even though strength on squat and bench is my priority I also wanna be big and jacked.So here are a few thoughts on my training for the future
1.I’ve lost a quarter to half an inch from my arms but that’s nothing given the 20 pounds I’ve lost.Due to my focus on bench I’ll always hit triceps hard.On biceps on the other part I’ve been lazy sometimes.So here are some goals to keep me motivated

Barbell curl 32.5 kg x 30 40 kg x 20 50 kg x 10 60 kg x 1
Hammer curl 16 kg x 30 20 kg x 15 25 kg x 8
Reverse grip ez barbell curl 30 kg x 25 40 kg x 12

I’ll also make sure I did 50 total reps at least as soon as I’m done on bis,either with a second movement or with the same one

Plus they’ll help me pass the 14 inches on forearms(now they’re at 13.3-13.4)

2.Upper chest is a must for a great physique.So after my upper body workouts I’ll do some incline flies either with cables or with dumbbells.After all they’ll probably offer me some chest rehabilitation too

Here I’ll focus on controlled tempo and stretch and squeeze and not pay any attention to weight(of course I’ll pick something demanding)

3.I’ll start doing heavy shrugs more often.And I mean almost never going bellow 100 kg.I really think that just holding something heavy stimulates the traps.So getting my shrugs up to 140 kg x 15 sloopy reps,120 kg x 30 and 100 kg x 50 is a goal

4.I think my calves have grew a bit,but still I have a lot of way to go.Now they’re just above 16 seated and flexing.So I’ll keep focusing on heavy smith machine calf raises and then drop back and do many reps.I’ll try putting in 1 heavy set and then doing more sets until I reach 100 reps

That’s all for now
