That flank steak looks great. I saw a video where dusty hanshaw did exactly that and I I’ve wanted to get an instapot since! Just don’t have the space for it rn. Workouts looks sick bro. I love muscle rounds, I’m telling you man reading your log I’m about all set to run fortitude again!

Yeah I stole it from Dusty lol. It comes out fantastic.

I'll sub skirt when it's on sale and just trim it up before cooking

Looking at progress pics this morning. Legs grew 3 inches over the last year or so according to my tape measure.

Slept all afternoon and night 2 days ago. The weekend really wore me out and weight dropped a few lbs from not getting in typical volumes of food.

Training yesterday was upper loading

Standing mid row chest on pad - 225*12, 10

Underhand close grip pull down - stack*9, 2 drops

Plate loaded chest press - 360*10, 7 1 drop

Machine close grip press - 110kg*12, 11

Side lateral machine - 150*10, 8 2 drop

Dats it. Strength is starting to level out some so the real grind starts.

Off today.

Eating. Cleaning house. Napping with puppies [emoji23][emoji240]

Impressive! Fortitude works!
Damn right it does lol.

One of my best sessions lately.

Music stream was on point.

Energy was awesome.

Strength high.

Focus.

Can't ask for much more. Busted some blood vessels under my eyes during Squats lol. Lol like I got punched in the face.

Safety Bar squat - 455*10, 455*7 315*20 widowmaker
Lying leg curl - 80kg*11, 9
Front squat Smith - 255*11, 9
Calf Raise - 130*12, 10, 9, 9
Adductor - 170*11, 7

Upper pump.

Getting legs back finally. Last year I maxed out the bar on safety Squats (495) for I think 8 reps, gotta look back in my log book but, I was pretty gassed at the time. It's coming back with about a third of the gear atm.

Meant to get updated pics but the locker room was packed. I'll snap some one day this week.

Off today. Legs are extremely sore. Hard time standing up sore.

Still mulling over when to start my blast. My goal to be low test was until May and I've hit that. Still not as consistent on training as I would like to be but, not as bad as the beginning of the year.

Typical day of eating on non training days right now -

1-
6 whole eggs
1c whites

2-
60g whey
60g almonds

3 -
230g chicken breast
1c greens
2 tbsp evoo

4 -
Repeat 3

5 -
500g egg whites
25g whey
50g natural pb

6 -
250g flank or skirt steak
2 eggs

Throughout the day I'll also have 2 bananas and split one container of Tuna salad usually after the shake meal.

The tuna salad is -
250g tuna in water
2 whole eggs
60g no sugar added sweet relish
28g Mr Kensington natural mayo

Training days is -

1- pre workout
8 whole eggs
1 bagel

2- post workout
500g egg whites
25g whey
75g chex
1 packet oats (maple brown sugar, it makes a difference [emoji6])
1 banana


3 -
230g chicken breast
250g white rice

4 -
Repeat 3

5 -
500g egg whites
25g whey

6 -
250g flank or skirt steak
2 eggs

Pretty simple.

I've been having one or two free meals a week. Typically a regular meal with some kind of dessert thrown in.

When the blast starts, whenever that is, the free meals go away and more food is added to my regular plan.

Oh! And I've been walking my dogs a few times a week still so, I guess you can call that cardio? Not really but whatever.

Another really good session... I keep in stringing these together I might look decent by years end.

Low Cable Row neutral - 14*26(+3) 15*23
Smith bent over row - 315*22
Incline hammer - 270*25(+2) 240*23
Reverse machine shoulder press - 270*20/180*7 haven't muscle rounded this movement. It's not the best option imo but I'll give it some time.
Cable front raise one arm - 30*22/23
Rope extension - 10*22
Rope crunches - 10*17(cramping)

Good day good day. Strength is still moving up. Weight is slowly creeping up week to week. Averaging about a half pound each week which is fine.

Just biding my time [emoji16][emoji355]

Upper loading went well. The log book is speaking to me and saying we're on the right track!

Weights still creeping up!

Smith Flat - 315*10, 7

Standing dip machine - 230 to failure and one drop

Standing Bb press - 135*10, 155*6

When the arms and delts outgrow your favorite shirts.... Gotta chop em up.

3x problems [emoji17]

Forced all my meals down yesterday.

Actually sat at the table for almost an hour to finish the last one off.... And it was a non training days so not nearly as much food as today.

Today they have gone down much easier. I was at work at 4 this morning so that did help a bit.

Trained after work which I hate. Usually if I have to work a full shift I'll push the training to the next day since I'm exhausted and it wouldn't be a very conductive training session anyways. If I hadn't trained today though it would have been a few days to many off since weekends are very busy lately.

As I predicted, strength tanked after each of my muscle rounds on chest so, I threw it the old curve ball and switched exercises every muscle round. That helps.

Upper Muscle Rounds

Flat machine press - 270*26 (+3),270*17(fail)180*10

Start pull down machine - 120kg*26(+3)

High Row Wide Grip (holding posts not handles) - 150*25

Dual handle cable row feet on floor (here's a fucking ego buster for ya lol) 100*23

Incline DB raise - 30*23

Seated DB raise above chin - 20*23

Triceps rope ss cable Ez Curl (2 sets wide, 1 set close) - 80*22/80*23, 70*21/80*21, 60*22/70*22

Hanging knee raise - 5*20

Those cable rows will get you right lol. You can't leverage with your legs so it's all back. If you're keeping your lower back stable, which you should, you can't go very heavy but you get locked in with the lats very well.

I've been neglecting my biceps for a while and I guess I need to start training them seriously again before they get under 20'. They grow with very little work so it shouldn't be too hard.

What day is it? High Rep leg day! Yaaaaaaaay..... Fuck me. High rep leg days are brutal enough. Throw in focus on progressive overload and you get laying on the floor after sets and almost puking.

Safety Bar squat - 315*20,20,17
Machine Lunges - 70*17, 15
Calf press - 260 *25, 24, 22, 22
Standing leg curl - 90*25, 23
Hanging knee raises - lost count
Cable curls - 4*15-13

Crooked ass walking ass.

Kroger had beef chuck steaks on sale for $2.99/lb yesterday.

So I got six lbs. Making it the same way I make my flank and skirt steak, in the instant pot with fajita season, onions and peppers.

I know a lot of guys won't get certain cuts of red meat due to higher fat content but, skirt and chuck are pretty lean if you take the time to trim them up. Maybe a little more fat then flank but, still not too much to be concerned about really.

Seated machine fly - 130*15,11

Lower loading

Replaced pre workout carbs for an intra today to see if the gas tank would be better. Seemed better but it'll take a while to see if it's consistent.

Intra was just 50g hbcd and 15g Eaa's with some Citrulline and glycerol added.

Leg press high feet placement - 16 plates *12, 16+50*10, 16+70*7
Extension - 170*9, 150*8
Sldl on hammer toes elevated - 135*12, 10 (Adductor wasn't right so I didn't push it)
Calf press - 300*12, 15, 11, 10

Upper pump and abs

Still struggling to keep weight up. Getting tighter but I'm not worried about that, just want to keep the scale stable while doing so. Guess we add more food.

Getting closer to pulling the blast trigger but I really don't feel like it..... Weird. Usually I'm having to hold back but this go I'm just not excited to blast right now.

Longer I'm off and can maintain or keep progressing on the cruise doses the better the blast will be anyways.

Cereal of the day

Four lbs lighter then my high weight last year but given everything that's happened this year and only being at a cruise dose all year, I'm good with it.

Lower ab***en is such a cunt. Gets fat quick.

I'll blow 255 away. 265 goal is on track.

Training was upper muscle rounds. Very very good session again. Train is starting to roll. Will be adding more weight next session for sure.

Plate loaded Pulldown - 230*26, 22

DB row in Incline bench - 45*28, 50*22

Hammer dip machine - 270*26, 23

Trifuckta (dusty hanshaw special he got from Dante, 15 full rom laterals, 15 partials, 15 5 count holds, it sucks) - 30*2 rounds

Dead stop skullcrusher - 70*23 (great variation for those of you who get elbow pain doing typical skullcrushers. They're hard to.)

Hanging knee raise ss cable crunch - 4 rounds of 15-12 reps no rest

Gonna go a little harder on ab training. Adding in vacuums and gravity assisted vacuums every day. Seeing if we can pull this waist in some. Never going to do a vacuum pose but, I want to be able to have full control of my Transverse Ab***inis.

Lower muscle rounds

Dunno what was going on today but the mind muscle connection was probably the best I've ever had.

Felt my quads all the way up to my waist and glutes/hams were contracting HARD.

Lighter weights then usual but, due to the above, it was agonizing.

Leg press low mid stance - 10*26
Leg press high close stance - 10*23
Cable Romanian split squat - 35*11(completely fail) bw*12(completely fail)
High pad hyper extension with cables - 40*23, 22
Calf Raise - 100*23, 22, 22, 21 (held stretch between sets for 1:30)
Cable rope crunches - 80*23, 22, 21
Straight set bicep curls 3 wide 2 narrow - 80*20, 18, 15, 15, 14

That's a wrap.

Upper loading

Low Cable Row mid grip Underhand - 18*12, 20*8, 11*15
Viz dead - 495*12, 8
Bb bench - 275*10, 7
Star shoulder press - 360*11, 7
DB curl ss Underhand extension - 40*12/80*18, 40*9/80*15, 40*7/80*14
Hanging knee raise —4*12

Shoulder is still having some pain. I think it's the Smith pressing actually. I haven't used a Smith to do a lot of my pressing in forever and, I stopped for this very reason I believe.

I moved to the Smith since strength has been going crazy and I wanted to make sure I got every rep out of every set. I still don't go to failure on Smith but the reassurance let's me dig one or two more out usually.

Today with the Bb pressing there was zero pain.
