good bro workout
I used to find time off, or deloads killed my training when I got back to it.. now they have the opposite effect. I think you need to pass a certain neurological threshold (my, don't I sound scientifical?) and get to the place where the form is so ingrained that you can take time off without your body rewiring itself to suck at the lifts.
Or something

What, no more inspirational vids? I guess I'll take science 101 instead. LoL You may be right though. I'm not so advanced that I'm grinding myself down w/ super intensities here. I can pretty much run close my 1RM for quite awhile. But when I take a week or two break, and then ramp up again, it feels like I'm taking 2 steps back. I need to figure out how to stay at the edge and just back off a tad, and get right back into it. Trial and error.

As if setting PRs in the under 200 range isn't gay enough already. LoL But how else can I get the chicks if I don't get the gunz??? Actually, it's pretty efficient. I get gunz by working the muscle that makes up 2/3 of the arm. LoL I don't bother w/ bis.
Power shurgs. Always power surgs. Never strict anything really. LoL I'm up to 325 on 'em but after deads, I was feeling t3h weak.

Chix dig abz bro, gunz are what get the guyz all jealous and shit but the ladies are all about the abz. Make sure to measure out your oats and casein & count every last almond if you want that lady-killer bod
Doing regular shrugs after deads isnt the worst thing in the world, you already burned your traps pretty nicely.
PR K if I had any

Week 5, Tues. (workout 1)
Squat
5x5x195 (+ 10 reps, hard but not that bad)
Bench
5x175 (+2.5, five away from old PR . . . it's only taken like 2 months, LoL)
13x140
Pullups
2x5x25 (fatter this time so this is decent)
. . . weight strap broke so repped out w/ BW & some chins
Knee Raises
12
11
6
I'm constantly tired. I almost didn't lift even though I had a nap beforehand. Just tired, and I haven't been doing much volume so WTF? Just crumby genetics? Who knows. I'm not stressed at work, just working longer hours. Oh well.
Damn BiggT for discussing Animalize2.63 w/ me today. Just talking about that crap gave me a wicked lower back pump on like my 2d warmup set. That was annoying. No more talk about Amolify0.2.

Nice workout, is that a 5x5 PR on the squat??
Do you lift after work? Sometimes riding a desk all day is worse than manual labor in that it drains your energy in a psychological way. Sometimes napping more than 20 min. or so can do more harm than good too, lol.....I don't think you're tired due to genetics, I think it is more or less mental.....do you get better workouts on weekends when you can lift when you want, rather than going after work? Also, what does your eating through the day look like.....lack of food or the wrong stuff at the wrong times, as well as dehydration can lead to feeling zapped.
If you don't want to discuss XtremePumpz69 anymore, fine, but you're the one who will suffer with sub par pec-delt tie-in development, and thus pick up less chikks on 'myspace'.

5x5 PR. I monkeyed w/ 3 sets of 5x195 for the past 3 back squat workouts, and wanted to see what that did. I hope to hit a 1x5 PR this Saturday. Things are moving the right direction, just slowly.
I am at a desk all day, staring at a CPU. I come home pretty tired and sometimes take a 25 min. nap which usually really helps. Weekends are better workouts b/c I'm not trying to rush to get 'em done. Preworkout tonight, I had 2 cups of wheat chexs and 2 cups of milk. Lol It's usually not that bad. During the day, I'm pretty much hungry all the time b/c I'm trying not to add 2-3 pounds per week, and I can do that real easily. I'm actually eating "less" than I'd like and I'm still gaining weight. I'm at around 3100 k/day and that'll give me a pound a week if I skip cardio. The suck. Lol I could eat 3600 real easy. Foods aren't real clean but not total crap.
Just tired. But things are moving the right direction.
