another off day... aka cutting... do something!

Reading cardio: 40 minutes... 5-7 minutes of that was 15% incline, wow i couldn't focus on reading breathing that hard, lol.

NO SHIN PUMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1st time in a LONG ass time.

I doubled my potassium ~ 600mg supplemented (pills... not using juice like i do too, ect)... good to know, i made a note in my training journal.

so... being 52* out and sunny... beautiful, snow melting ... my mood is sky high. Shorts and a t-shirt, about damn time. Looking forward to HIIT jump rope outside after the snow's done melting and getting the road all wet.


So yah... i couldn't resist... had to get on the weight floor and dabble a bit..

Dips: BWx8
Cleans: barx8, 95lbs x 8
Front squats: 95x8

DB Shrugs: 190x10, 210x10, 250x5 or 7 ... i dunno, lost grip and dropped 'em.


At a new gym... my old-old gym that's been updated. The one with tweakle's same dipping station... the wide fat bars... oh man, i'm not used to them anymore... i've been narrow grip dipping... these at the negative were all chest, should be a good change of pace I guess.

The DB's are NOT ergo grip thank Zeus.

Should be a good time... way closer than were i'm used to driving to save time too now that i'm all trying to be efficient and stuff with the added school driving (120 miles total a week).

you've got mail.

No more PM's for me, i've cleaned them out... all 3,500+.

If you're non-plat and can't see my sig it says: I've disabled PM's ... only secure email to reach me off Elite: [email protected]

Yes, that's why i posted it ... it was definetly the Potassium I hadn't changed any other factors.

Currently daily:
multi, green tea (AF), gluc R (AF), fish oil (pharm grade PBL), potassium, b5, vit c,... i'm not ordering anymore after i finish up the more expensive supps like fish oil, ect.

Major job change... and focusing on school.

 

[SgtSlaughter]

almost on to the 2nd page for a minute there lol..

I have 2 workouts to update later...

The 15's are fun and hard as hell... DB bench stalled, kinda... staying with 65's ... i have to pause rep them to get 15... from 12 on it's a battle.

Dipping suckssss, lol. The wide bars are a different pressing ROM than I was used to on the closer/straight bars.

I ended up loading up a bar in the rack for dynamic shrugs this afternoon... up to 455x8 i think...

my hip/lumbar/flexors area has loosened up greatly.... i'm going to start squatting again. 3x week... add small weights each time... be up to 135 in 5 months

BW is at 215lbs ... consistantly... eating clean most of the time, but i need to do fitday again because cutting on the same clean food that i was at 230 isn't cutting it anymore... obviously. After this weekends festivities... i'll adjust next week and get back on the decline.

I HAVE TO GET CALIPERED too... fuck... no time and it's simply not on my "priority" list in my head... but i need it done...

 

[JKurz1]

bulk with me bro.....cmon....

 

[Kabeetz]

Just remember Sarge not to cut too draftically... a 100 calories, an extra 700 a week less, might be all you need to get moving south again. Or 150 or 200, etc.

 

[SgtSlaughter]

JK: get to 200 and i'll bulk with you

Kab: You're right... i'll access the situation after the weekend.
