Balance's Beasting Cycle And Workout Log

[balancefighter]

Thanks bro! If you got the personality for it can be a great job

I had to go in the gym today to train somebody so I jumped on the scale when I was done. 220.5 This seems more like it. No bloat and feel like I am losing a little bit of fat. My diet has been pretty clean. So a little over 10 pounds halfway through the cycle. I am happy with that. If I could finish at 225 I will be happy

nice workout for bein shitty one bro. Up that water intake, my lethargy got bad some days. Then again i was runnin on 2 hrs sleep a lot because id have work at 4 AM

BTW are oyu only doin ur last set to failure? for example on your cgbp, is the 225x12 and 245x10 to failure?

 

[balancefighter]

No I do a lot of stuff to failure. If I do 5 sets the last three are usually to failure. Except on squats deads bench and military. I usually try to do two or three good warm ups getting me ready for my working sets then everything is to failure. Iso stuff and cable work I don't usually go to failure. Water intake should be good I'm getting close to two gallons a day. I think I deff need to up my carbs though. Thanks for the support bro

 

[the.gladiator1987]

Oh alright cool, 2 gallons is a lot lol ur good on that brotha.

So for isolation do you make jumps like with the compound movements or do you stay at the same weight which should be kinda heavier to where its close to failure or to failure?

 

[balancefighter]

With my iso stuff like cable work for my chest and the little bit of cable stuff I do for my bi's I usually stick around 10 to 12 reps which is just about to failure on each set. Then on the last set ill usually kill it and go past failure.

 

[Tblock1]

Awesome progress as always. Nice close grip bench too! 315 up next?

I need to work on my water intake. I don't even get 100 ounces most days and I'm back on creatine....
