Just different lifts going probably 60% of my max, 10 second rest between sets, 2 minutes between exercises. For example today was:
Front Squat
Back Squat
Rack Pulls
Pushups
Bench Press
Close grip bench press(No sets, to failure)
Lat Pull Down
T Bar row
Good Mornings
Bullshyt dumbell curls (No sets, to failure)

Basically getting my work capacity up, and as long as I eat and sleep, I'm good to go and my numbers are going up. Problem is, it took a couple weeks to truly figure out how to get the bench to hit chest harder than front delts and tris, but back is fukked up cause
I have to concentrate hard as hell to activate my back. And I do everything with strict form, no momentum, slow and controlled, so my biceps SCREAM after the first back excercise:sadcam:My form is fukkED up.

I hope you're not doing anything like that routine once you begin aiming toward progression. Has crash written all over it. The fact you're already hurting is a nice hint.

HELL naw. Just wanna get my work capacity up to keep my mental edge. Easy to quit on sets when you feel like you've done enough. I used to be king of that shyt.

Also, my issues came cause I also go out 5 times a week putting up 200-300 jump shots. Suddenly everything arm related is fukking me the past 2 weeks. Then again, I've always been a high-motor lifter, so 5x5 feels weird. 6x8 was what I did, but honestly, I stopped growing after
a year:mjlol:Even getting the weight up. Gotta be open to anything and everything, now.:francis:

If my pops keep raising his voice at me on the phone we might have a marvin gaye jr/sr situation on our hands.

My pops a square sometimes we talked last night about a lot of shyt but I told him I was drinking and he was like alcohol is bad for you and kills brain cells and I was like nikka who gives a fukk really old man but I ain't say it like that or curse but nikka was still mad. SMH

:banderas:I had no idea making your own healthy smoothies could be this satisfying.

I'm damn near not wasting anymore fruits and vegetables like I used to.
Don't wanna eat it? Look up a recipe to drink it instead.

These avocado, ginger, banana, smoothies is :wow:.
I'm never going without a good blender makes all the difference in the world.
