Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Biscayne]

I basically want hypertrophy in my chest and abs..

Yep, if there's one thing I'm DESPERATELY trying to get is hypertrophy in my chest and abs. And I'm not even looking for extreme hypertrophy. I just got done doing assisted handstand pushups for the upper pecs, and I'm GASSED. I've done 40-50 reps so far, with short breaks inbetween. It's tough. Breathing hard, gasping....

That stretch

Read about it on TNation and gave it a try. My ass and hamstrings are the most sore they've been in years.



Was back day for me and did some barbell and dumbbell rows. I scheduled deadlifts today and it just so happened everyone else was on the wave also. It also just so happens that people wanted to be Rick Flair with the weight dropping and grunting. Mind you there is a "no dropping the weights" sign and nikkas were at the most doing 365 for singles. A rack is finally open and these dudes start staring at me. Only went up to 405 for controlled reps today and then one of them had the balls to tell me that I should drop them and save energy. That I should loosen up more and use a belt. I swear I was getting trolled or they were that oblivious. I just looked at him and put my headphones back on.

It gives you an estimate of how many calories you burned through the day. So I adjust my eating to that.

It has sleep monitoring and heart rate monitoring that I check sometimes too

Nothing but an expensive pedometer if you ask me

I wish my arms would grow..... Calves on the other hand I wish I had a lower inset but fukk it. I don't even hit them and they are on fleek

Man I am a subscriber to the deload wave.... hit legs today for the first time in weeks. JFC. Took the DO out of DOMS, I can barely walk

T-shirts aren't a problem for me in the arms because they usually give, and I rarely wear them except at the gym or underneath another shirt or jacket.

Button-ups, dress shirts, and suit jackets tho I had to wear my suit and black dress shirt for a funeral last week and I could barely move my arms it was so tight.

Found a Paleo meal plan spot near the crib, going to try it out with my girl for a week, i think I will more than likely stick with it even if my girl doesnt enjoy being that I did the math and it comes out to the amount I pay for groceries if I were to prep for myself.

I need to take a forced week off

Like few weeks ago I started hearing crack sounds on the lower part of my leg whenever I tried to get into deadlift position or squatting. Just ignored hoping it got better, it never did yet. Now my left knee feels Kind of tender. So fuk it really isn't worth it. Hopefully I get back on track resuming super bowl Sunday.
