MM107's Bulking/Progress Thread w/ Pics

[mm107]

Ya, thanks CK. As i was doing them i was realizing how i punked out on my last set of Abs. I got to get you EF'ers out of my head during the gym lol i feel obsessed, but look it pused me harder and further then i wanted to do, so i guess i LOVE YOU GUYS!

Im also upping my Ab workouts. Not for the "i need abs for summer" but because i need more ab core strenght. I want my abs to be tight as shit so i can blast through a heavy sqaut of pull some serious weight.

I treat my ab excercises like any other excercise. I never really trained them, but now as im going heavier and heavier, i can tell my abs are weak. BUT i will catch them up.

Im also thinkin of splitting up CARDIO + Weighttraining. Only problem is i feel i will be drained for heavy lifting later in the day.

Even tho I SAID i was trying to "cut", i still am, but im eating clean, HUGE tho. lol Guess its cool cuz i can see my abs coming in slowly.(Def quicker then i can tell since i seem em daily)

Cardio/conditioning work in the AM and lifting in the PM works really well, as long as you refuel yourself throughut the day.

Great Tricep Workout today, W/O Partner wasnt there, so some big guy, named Ron, benches close to 500. Closegrips 316. Wanted me to workout w/ him. He was trying to get me to use the Smith Machine, i wouldnt, he tried but i wouldnt cave.(Thanks to EF). But he loves the hardcore workouts i go through. I scream, i motivate and he loves it. He said i remind him of how he used to workout at the hardcore gtyms.

Today is LEG Day for me, so im gonna KILL THAT SHIT.

Im gonna eat some chicken/broccholi w/ brown rice 1hr before.
Might do some DE work today, with speed, and exploding up. Ill see how i feel!

Might hit up my ABS again, last AB day was SUNDAY. I want to hit ABS 3x week for building my core up. But i dont think i hit biceps in some time so might as well do those.

I am watching you

If it works for ya go for it .. if it doesn't you already know what to toss

Nice volume with the heavy CGBP sets. that builds you a nice, wide base of strength and work capacity. Yeah, scrap the kickbacks, they are a truly worthless exercise. Personally, I'd just hammer more volume with backoff sets of 8 on close grip and bag everything else, save for some skull crushers or pushdowns for a few high rep sets just for mental reasons so you can leave the gym 'pumped'.

You also got me in the mood for some type of bagel sandwich.

LoL go have one, you lift like a beast. =]

Yea im going to lay off the kickbacks, they really aggrevated my shoulders.

Bunny, yea i know what has to go, its my breakfast, the bacon, its only 1 strip literally. So i know there is fat in it, but i consider it breakfast.

BigTT, do you do bicep work? Is that the reason you like to hammer? I always though hammering was more for tricep, but i recently read it wasnt.

DEF gonna switch tricep work to only, Closegrip/DIPS/Skullcrushers/Hammers.

CK dont worry girl i got you covered on thursday!!!

Thanks bunny for crackin the whip, im gonna try to find something else to eat morning. Such as a bowl of oatmeal =]
