I was not used to this high volume/long workout duration but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely need at least one other person to lift with on this day for a spot on some of the barbell benching but it felt really good overall. Fatigue set in near the end so it didn't bother me too much. Definitely feeling the effects of not enough sleep later on in the day.

Saw Toy Story 3 with my GF and it was pretty good but could have been better IMO...nothing will ever beat the original.

I do my back workouts very specific and have recently found the exercises that worked for me so only did a few of the ones that RJ selected.

Worked out with Dan, Jay had to work. Very solid workout, pretty impressed with my endurance throughout.

Decided I'm not going to sign up at the other gym, and just bought a 3 month at my gym (already paid for one month and they had a deal so just had to pay $35 more...very good price and the other gym, while better is just not necessary. If I am scheduled to lift and my main gym is closed, I will most likely just use the other one and sign-up for a month or two but the startup fee is like $50 fuuuuuuuuu.

Got my Scivation Xtend....zomg best tasting supplement I have ever used (srs). Refreshing watermelon ftw.

Have to go to my buddy's grad party for a bit then work @ 5...first day at bussing let's see how it is. Be back around 10ish.

[CallmeKing]

Nice workout lots of volume. I have the watermelon as well. Took me a while to get used to didn't like it at first but, its tasty now. Ripped really likes it. Looking forward to you killing this new routine

i actually was just tasting the powder first time i opened it and fell in love...just a quick question, it says 3-4 scoops/day and the scoops are fairly small, do you have to do 4 scoops or can you just do 2 and get the same effects or do you need 4?



and thanks man, new routine is sick im lovin it...not sure if i should do the second chest day because im thinking it would just kill either strength on the upper powder day or wouldnt be recovered enough for next week so i might leave it out and do what im doing right now

I do four only on deadlift days and two on other days. BTB does two everyday I think. It runs out quick at 4 a day.

Hours of Sleep: 8
Calories Consumed: (Update) Protein: g Carbs: g Fats: g
Weight After Workout: 165.5 lbs +2 lbs in 1 day (water)
Cardio: (Update)

Hack Squats (Between Parallel and ATG): 4x8-12
45 lbs (12 reps)
50 lbs (12 reps)
55 lbs (12 reps)
60 lbs (12 reps)
About a minute or so rest between sets, starting with 60 next week.

Seated Leg Extensions (Lowest setting/Furthest back): 3x8-12
90 lbs (12 reps)
110 lbs (12 reps)
130 lbs(12 reps)
30-45 second rest between sets, lactic acid built up on last set. Start with 130 next week.

Leg Press (Knees to Chest): 2x12
6 plates/270 lbs (12 reps)
7 plates/315lbs (12 reps)
Adding another set next week, gonna start with 8 plates/360 lbs next week, about 45 seconds - 1 min rest between sets..

Lying Single-Leg Curls: 4x8-12
70 lbs (12 reps)
75 lbs (12 reps)
80 lbs (12 reps)
85 lbs (12 reps)
These felt solid, crazy pump on that last set starting with 85 next week.

Hip Abduction/Hip Adduction SUPERSET: 4x10-12
130 lbs; 130 lbs (12 reps; 12 reps)
130 lbs; 130 lbs (12 reps; 12 reps)
150 lbs; 150 lbs (12 reps; 12 reps)
170 lbs; 170 lbs (10 reps; 10 reps)
Exercises done one right after the other, about 30 seconds rest between sets. Machines both max out at 190 lbs so need two exercises to superset eventually. Any suggestions?

Seated Calf Raises: 4x12-15
70 lbs (15 reps)
75 lbs (15 reps)
80 lbs (15 reps)
85 lb (15 reps)
Finally figured out how to get more ROM by dropping this lever that holds the plates, feels really good going all the way down/up controlled. INSANE pump, 10 second rest between sets.

Had to lift by myself...Jay's work schedule has been raping him so he's either lifting at his house or going by himself when we can't lift. Was supposed to go with Dan but tried calling him and texting and no response, so not sure what's up with that. My other buddy Khanh (asian kid I used to lift with) apparently injured himself on DB shrugs the other day so couldn't lift with him.

Had to rush through the workout because gym was closing soon. I need about 2-3 more exercises in there, I'm thinking walking DB lunges and either narrow-stance squats or front squats? Any suggestions for supersets? Gonna max out the abduction/adduction machines in a few weeks.

Went home and saw a ****in black widow on my towel outside so I snapped a pic of the little guy (was all alpha jumping and ****):
