Looking somewhat filled out and juicy tbh. All kinds of water and food retention gains. Gonna start actually logging food for a bit to get back in the habit. Prepare once again to laugh at my diet.

Had to do a bit of tissue padding on everything after..

Trying on shirts in burton afterwards with a huge pump was difficult. Bet the woman was wondering why it took me half an hour just to try 2 shirts on

middle pls

Skillmister · 23 May 2013 at 15:20

Strong leg shake. They look far easier than they felt :X Also i ****ing hate mixed grip.

Far too easy, get some weight on there

You say that but they were ****ing hard. And all of the 140 reps felt like i was going to snap

Still not bad repping close to what i was before my break

Skillmister · 23 May 2013 at 18:30

Yeah brah. Maybe i need to work on some lighter speed work? Every rep on anything 120kg+ is slow as ****, even if it's relatively "easy" in a reppable sense. (Need you to observe me tenderly and give your professional opinion basically)

I just feel super awkward with mixed. Maybe lack of practice idk just puts me off big time. Goals are get huge and have some kind of respectable DL, so not too fussed

Is the weight on your heels?

Pass.

I think so

Skillmister · 24 May 2013 at 14:39

Leg day take 3

Got in the gym and there were about 18 people using the rack so not even a chance of squats. Secretly relieved because my back doms are out of control today. Decided to adventure into hack squats

Hack squat 80kg 15 120kg 8 8 8 8 8

These are pretty fun.
Leg press ?!?!?!?! Dunno wtf is going on with this but i swear it's impossible to use unless you have hilariously flexible ankles. Must be missing an adjuster somewhere..
Split squat 15kg 8 8 8 - wobbly as fuu
Calf raise 40kg 20 50kg 15 15 12
CGBP 60kg 8 70kg 8 8 7
DB Curl 15kg 10 8 8
Bench dips +30kg 15 15 15
EZ bar curl 35kg 7 30kg 8 8
Rope pulldown 25kg 8 8 8

Disgusting arm pump / 10

Skillmister · 24 May 2013 at 15:15

I can't have stick legs, i walk to the gym.

Skillmister · 24 May 2013 at 15:42

One like this

CGBP 60kg 8 7 6

For the first time today i was not the smallest guy in the gym

One guy about equal with me but not as lean (yay competition), and another who had clearly just started on 5x5 or something and was doing 40kg deads with a belt and banana back :x If i see him again i might say something..

Skillmister · 28 May 2013 at 14:36

Squats 60kg 10 80kg 8 100kg 8 6 80kg 8 8 8 - Started to miss depth on the 100s. Back still does not want. I get pretty insane quad activation on squats though that's for sure.

Was feeling a bit tired this morning, 3 nights in a row of poor sleep so decided to double scoop craze. O lawdy lawd

DB Press 25kg 10 27.5kg 8 8 8 - Easy, needed to use 30s really but they are being repaired and the 32s were too heavy

BB Press 50kg 8 55kg 6+2 5+3 5+2 - love having a spotter
Seated DB sideraise 10kg 12 12 8+4 - The burn was strong in this one
Bent over db flys 10kg 10 10 8
Face pulls 40kg 8 8 6

Pumped as ****. Vasc as ****. Heart rate high as ****.
