My Quest to COMPETE - BEAT THE DISEASE!

[JKurz1]

Damn...I feel like I have lost everyone....has the excitement of my anerexic posts lost its flavor since my weight has increased, I am no longer the weakest dude in the gym, I am eating and I am resting????


Well, Houston...we have a problem. My weight is coming back down. I hope it's water, but I am 167ish today when I was over 170 last week. Nothing to get crazy over, as my cals are always lower on the weekends, but maybe it's all that bloat and water from the test and food ingestion shocker.

I got legs today. Knees and lower back are driving me insane, but I am scared to take a week off of sqautting for fear that my workout won't produce the results, mass gain if I skip em. I have thought about front squats one of the weeks out of the month, but havent....I just have read so much about squats, mass, testosterone, than to skip or alter my routine would be dumb.....

should I honestly be doing ZERO cardio? FOr how long? Till my weight gets where?

If your problem is getting this bad, you probably shouldn't be working out at all. In highschool there was a girl who was an awesome runner, but she weighed 86lbs. For 6 years she wasn't allowed to run, swim, weights, nothing or they'd send her ass back to the hospital. I would think someone would have mentioned this already. Maybe they did, I didn't read every post. Your discipline is amazing but still a disease. I hope the best for you and your tribulations.

Come and work out with me,


I am on a cycle 95% of the time,

Eat what I eat and work out like I do,



I am not saying I am better than anyone else,



It is simply that gear, diet, training, sleep, rest, exercise is such a way of life, I don’t think about it, don’t talk about it, It is like church Monday, Wednesday, Sunday, I’m usually there,


And I am at the gym 5 days a week at least 1.5 hours a day, Cardio, weights, abs, could be there 3 hours, but it is an intense 1.5 hours.

Injections Sunday and Thursday, depending upon the cycle,


I weigh 185, in good shape, always improving, 5’5” 56 years old.

TUESDAY OCT. 10TH.......

Well, I made a switch and did hammys yesterday. Cals were a tad low this weekend and I just didnt feel I would
I would be able to get in a decent chest workout. Sad thing is, today I don’t really feel like it either. Bizzare, cause I always loved chest day. Maybe I am just burnt to a krisp. Who knows, I just feel week, soft, and fat…my stomach has been giving me fits and it just all I can think about. My weight this am was 168. Weird cause like I said I figured I would have dropped some lbs……wondering what my bf % is. I had a good squat session sat and a good arm session Sunday. Yesterday nailed str8 leg deads….all increases in lbs.

Maybe I am fucking myself and afraid I wont get 80’s on dbell press but I haven’t flat barbelled in MONTHS….should I make the switch over today? Can you give me a good routine to hit if I do? Is this a good idea or is dbell press a better movement?

Thoughts:’

Flat bench barbell presses: 5sets
Set 1 warmup - x 15
Set 2 moderate heavy x 12
Set 3 heavy - x 8-10
Set 4 workset to failure - x 6-8

Incline dumbbell presses: 4 sets (you want to take a 3-5minute break between these two excercises... Perfect time to go do a few sets of Calves and relax/get your mind set for the next sets to come.)
Set 1 warmup - x 12-15
Set 2 moderate heavy - x 10-12
Set 3 heavy - x 8-10
Set 4 heavy MF'er to failure - x 4-6

Decline hammer strength: 3 sets ( Set 1 heavy - x 12 (really squeeze and concentrate on the contraction)
Set 2 heavier - 3 x 10 (slow negative 2-3second count down, 1-2second count push, feel the burn!)
Set 3 failure - x 4-6 (You're ready to go home but you got one more set! Take a few minutes inbetween each of these and make each one count.)

Jeff, I like barbell....the reason being you can handle more weight and overload the body. I do feel dumbells have a place and are a great lift too. If you're getting the itch to move to the barbell for a while, then do it up, you'll go noplace but up for a while.

The approach you posted is fine by all means.

I'm just going to tell you what you already know deep down inide......you're progressing, don't mind-fuck yourself with worry.....all lifts are up, you're up 28lbs......everything is going how it should.

So If I go barbell for both this week, I should stick to my above plan? Not go 5x5?

 

[BiggT]

In my opinion, either your plan or '5x5' is fine, thats not important, what is important is that when you go barbell, that you choose a plan and be consistent with it for a time and up the poundages on that plan.
