8x8 on squats is killer! I tried something close once and couldn't walk for a week, literally.

Yeah thats right BTB, a killer! Im impressed by my friend whos only been lifting with me for about 2 weeks, almost a raw beginner in lifting, n he too performs the 8x8's with me, not the same weights obviously but he dont ever complain hes a real warrior this guy

That is being a warrior. I think i did a 10x10 with 60 seconds rest and after about 6 sets that became 2 minutes rest. I was limping so bad that week.

Supplements and food!

Trying to gain some weight now and add some serious muscle, am at about 5000kcl a day from quite clean sorces and it works well.

extra multivitamins/minerals and omega 3 caps
Creatine and a blend of caseine and whey protein
Extra minerals (Calcium and Magnesium) in the evening wich i find prevent and recovers muscle soreness real good. And extra vitamin B1 and E in the evening, Sometimes
Extra vitamin C during daytime.

chest/tri today.. feel very weak in my bench and tri movements at the moment, doing about 50% of 1RM in dropsets now instead of lifting heavy, got to balance the strength in my left shoulder to be able to lift heavy again.. And still quite painfull when trying to go a little bit heavy, feels like left shoulders gonna pop out of its cap when putting to much pressure on it. Not very fun going light but needed though.

Todays workout looked like this

Inc BP 4 sets of 8-10 160lbs
BP 6 dropsets of 180->110lbs to failure
Laying Cable flies 3 sets
Standing Cable flies 3 sets
CG BP 4 dropsets 130->90lbs to failure
French press 6 sets of 10, 80lbs 45 s rest
Pushdowns 4 sets started at 80lbs and added 10lbs for each remaining set
One arm pushdowns 2 sets left arm, trying to add some strength to left tri, its lagging behind

Lasagne, Sallad, wheydrink with creatine Pre W

50g of whey protein and banana Past w, in 1.5h more lasagne and wholemilk,
