Nasty, Freaky, Ugly Size

With every thing you have gained -were do you see yourself - LBM or even onstage weight compaired to last year?
Keep forgetting to ask also- how did you make out trying the Primal Defense?

So I cut early this year and I was about 225-230 at what would have been four weeks out. Picture below.

I'm hoping for five more lbs by stage next year so I can either squeeze in to heavies or just go right to supers. If weight continues to climb at this rate, I'll be close to that. Currently hovering around 265 but we're taking a break from pushing the food up so the look gets better week to week.

Primal Defense was a great find. I actually recommend it every time someone asks for a pre/pro biotic now.

Sorry for the lack of updates but, life has been hectic.

Two Saturdays ago my oldest daughter (14) had surgery for ovarian torsion. It went well and no issues after.

The following Monday she got her mri results back on her ankle that was giving her problems. Torn Ligament so, she just had another surgery Friday to fix that.

The week before my middle daughter fell at the football game and hurt her arm and went to the er. Broke. Also, we saw she had new cuts on her (she was in the mental hospital last month for cutting) so there's that.

But, here we are!

Bruuuutal fucking leg day.

Lower Muscle Rounds

Smith box Squats - 275*26, 23
Quad Extension (2 count hold) - 90*23
Sissy Squat - bw *22
Glute kickback - 80*24, 22
Adductor - 110*22
Abductor - 110*25
Walking Lunges - 2 rounds of 30, last round was forced reps for the last five on each leg
Seated Calf Raise - 115*24, 23, 21
Preacher Curl - 90*23
Drag curl - 95*22

The box Squats were deceptive. I want to get a bit more hamstring recruitment on my thigh sets so I threw them in. They torched my legs but, I'm not sure I can progressively add weight since I'm holding the bar during my rest.... The Smith rack is right between a comfortable racking point too so, I'll see what happens.

Walking Lunges were just extra because I'm stupid. I know not to add volume but today I was seeking punishment.

Family is always first brother. If time is needed to repair that part of your life, then the gym and little gym updates for a forum are unimportant. I know you know this, but there are people out there who don't get it, I've seen them, and it's mind-boggling. Also, people who do not have kids will never understand. My thoughts and prayers go out to your daughters

Looks like the program has changed...………..?

No. Still doing fortitude Training.

I actually pulled volume back a tad recently. When my food skyrocketed I increased volume a little hoping to utilize the extra calories..... I knew better and, in turn, it seems my legs have lost a little size. They show the same size on tape measure but, the fullness went away... Dunno but, I kicked myself for bit then fixed it.

Thanks man. It's starting to settle down a bit so, hopefully we finish off the year like we started it!

Lol not for this guy.

Ty!

Hoping to add five lbs to that condition by the time I get on stage next year.

The scale doesn't really reflect that I'll have that much weight gain but, pics say otherwise.

Back has been a major focus. July 3rd on the right. One week ago on the left. Width has gotten drastically better imo.

 

[montego]

Lower loading.

Killer session.

Leg press feet low mid - 14(+2)*20(+5), 14(+2), widowmaker 8*21

Single Leg press - 90*11, 7

Sldl - 335(+10)*12(+4),8

Adductor - 170*12(+3), 10

Bicep and tricep super set after

Upper Muscle Rounds

Stilllllll getting stronger.

The Smith was taken and the other was broke. Had to use the hammer row which I haven't used in a while so, I worked off my last muscle round on that machine from my log book a few weeks back.

Hammer row (per side) - 180*27(+3)
Hammer row (both sides at the same time) - 90*23
Close grip pull down - 16(+1)*23
Star Chest Press - 280(+10)*24, 28(+10)*22(+7)/180*6
Cable front raise - 30(+10)*23
Cable Lateral - 40(+5)*25(+1)

Dats dat.

 

[Concreteguy]

Hey, you gotta start bombing the calves brotha. The back width is a huge step in the right direction. Compare the sweep on the tat wings to the new sweep on your lats. BAM!

I've been hammering them but they are stubborn lol.

Lower muscle rounds today.

Fucking hate it when it rains cause every dickhead who works outside and gets rained out is in the gym. Sorry if I offended any of you dickheads.

So, the squat machine I typically use those rotation was in use by some asshole doing every kind of leg movement known to Pakulski. Adapt

High close leg press (heels only on plate) - 12*27, 25, drop stretch set - 6*8
Leg extension - 90(+10)*27(+1), 25
Lying leg curl - 130(+20) *23
Adductor (rest pause) - 110*17, 8,5
Calf Raise - 280*29, 27, 25, 22
Hammer cable curl ss hammer grip triceps extension (used the neutral grip row bar) - 80*26/27, 80*25,24

Hamstrings cramped like a motherfucker after the curls. They always do for some reason.

 

[montego]

Upper loading

Meh session. Nothing ground breaking. Subbing tbar for one arm Bb rows the next few weeks to see what happens. Gonna get strong af on these.

T bar row - 5 plates *9, 8,backoff set 3*15
Assisted pullup - 14*12, 10
Incline hammer - 380(+10)*8, 370*8(-1), backoff 270*9
Star shoulder press (turned this into a single big drop) - 450*5(-2[emoji17]), 360*5, 270*7, 180*12
Cable lateral with wrist cuff - 30*20, 15
Preacher Curl Machine - 100*10, 8, 90*12
DB extension - 30*20
Neutral grip press down - 80*20, 17

Dunno what the dip in strength was from. I guess I've been increasing weight every week for months now so, it was bound to happen. Possibly the extra set of Incline hurt the shoulder press I'm guessing.

 

[montego]

Lower loading. Went well!

High wide leg press - 18*19(+2), 18(+4)*8,10*20 widowmaker
Duck squat - 300(+20)*12, 300(+20)*8
Sldl - 405(+85)*6(-6)
Adductor/Abductor - 170*12(+1),15(+1)/12,14
Calf Raise - 280*23, 21, 19, 19

Little update on where I'm at with my growing phase.

264.4 this morning empty.

I'm chubby, I can't walk up stairs without being out of breath, I'm stuffed all the time and I feel like a fat shit lol.

I'm also strong as fuck and have a different look, especially when I'm training. It's that bursting full but not completely separated "he's strong as a bull" look if you know what I mean....
