Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[The ADD]

^This, and if @VRO wants size on his shoulders/arms/chest, then a program that focuses more on upper body hypertrophy would definitely be better. Lifting 3x a week for hypertrophy ain't it, and the volume is so low and the exercise selection looks turrible.




@VRO, if you can go to the gym 5-6x a week I'd look at certain Push Pull Leg templates or the PHAT template on simplyshredded.com. If not, I'd look at PHUL. It's a 4 day upper/lower that should still yield better hypertrophy gains than this.

This program looks like Fierce 5 or Greyskull and a bro split had a baby.

The other things is shytting on a 5x5 program. Jokes that it’s going to make you look like a bullfrog. Talking generally here but hypertropy just turns into cardio if you don’t have the capacity to continually lift heavier weight. You don’t optimize growth potential otherwise.

fukk what they talmbout, I got big as hell all over () doing StrongLifts 5x5 when I first started.

Brb being over 200 pounds and lifting more than 70% of the gym in my first 6 months of lifting (ever).

Dude in the rack next to me was struggle-benching 155 and 175 (for sets of 4-5) with no safeties. Whole body was shaking like a leaf, but at least I could tell he had his leg drive.

After flat bench he moved to 185 decline. Homie was benching for at least an hour.


As I was leaving, one of two dudes that was fukking around asked me if I was done with my rack after I wiped everything down and put up all the weights. He looked annoyed.



Have to wait 50 minutes for a rack because @All-Black the Necroverse is sumo deadlifting in front of one and the king of all fukkbois is benching and decline benching in front of one, coli fitness crehs.

I whole heartedly agree despite only doing back squats the last month

once I hit this number it’s back to front squats

Almost passed out a minute ago, my chakra levels dropped off a cliff like . Some mass gainer and two bagels later and I'm back. Prolly shoulda ate dinner last night.

Will prolly head back to the gym again after the Bravens game.
Front squat, OHP, Pendlay Row and a run planned.


Sixth squat session this morning. Today's gains are brought to you by Total War. #POWDA
- Worked up to a 100% single (430) low-bar, then light back-off doubles
- Benched 95% for a paused single, then back-off triples
- Sumo deadlifted 92% and worked back down to 4 plates (singles)
Lower back is fried from deadlifting yester and squatting and pulling today.


@Booksnrain please check my work. Only 7 more weeks of the Bulgarian Method left before I head OT and go back to 5x5.

This week's diet:
- McDonald's
- Krystal
- Whataburger
- Had barbecue yesterday. (Ran through a rack of baby backs for lunch.)

I'm down almost 3 pounds this week.
I need to get back on my 3 pounds of pasta a day program and get right.

@portcityplaya come check my math.

My cholesterol levels are actually low as fukk. That shyt runs in my family. The docs ran them labs and was on some .

This blood pressure on the other hand... (The caffeine in the POWDA and almost no cardio doesn't help. )
