Really??!! You don't think he's on steroids, do you? :-

TSizemoreWhy I have never! ???

Last nights workout legs. Tired after a long day at work but still hit it hard enough to throw up and be dizzy for a couple hours when I got home and was coming off the pump. Lol

Bodyweight 243

Squat
435x2
455x2
465x2

Leg press to ears

465 is the highest I've ever gone for a double. When I maxed 475 a few months ago I was only able to get 455 once, maybe one and a half, but I could force a 475 max, so I'd say I'm pretty damn close to breaking 500. I may try to peg it next week.

Why I have never! ???.........

Hahahahaha......I didn't think so!! LOL

Killer workout...No doubt I would have puked....probably from the shattered knees from trying to push that weight!!

Hahah thanks man, im trying. :]

Thanks bro, and yeah its a lot, I've done stuff like it more than once though so i don't think it'll shock me too bad

 

[ajdonutz]

Update, well, messing with this new routine already made me remember that my knees and low back won't allow me multiple hits on legs/back a week without major alterations that IMO make it useless. I love the twice a week split doing chest tris and shoulders twice a week, but without messing with the rest of my workouts its hard to make that happen, so maybe one day I'll write it out that way.

Anyways. I'm taking this week aside from Monday and Thursday upper body days and cutting the volume very very low and taking it as a mostly rest week with some reloading and only slight heavy work and going back to my 5 day split next week, so I may update tomorrow, but the rest of this weeks workouts won't be noteworthy

 

[ajdonutz]

Boom. Decided to keep the twice a week workout and modify some shit. Went in tonight and killed it. Chest/shoulders/tris. Planned to try again and max 400 on bench, flew up like 225 lbs.. so I went for 405, got It like a breeze, not even a hesitation. So I went for 415, and I missed it half way. I could have gotten it fresh for sure. So workout was

Felt like an animal. Everything was up 10+ lbs. I'm feeling strong as an ox.

 

[ajdonutz]

So far, this is my week. Banged out the smooth and easy 405 bench last night, and tonight smashed 500 squat on my last set of squats, I saw stars.. but probably had more in me fresh. I feel on top of the world, aside from the light headedness from that fucking leg workout. Lol. Tonights workout:

455x2
475x1
500x1

Leg press to ears

Haven't posted in a bit, but I figured I'd post a few progress pictures. Only one I took, one my fiancee took of my back, and one was taken at a restaurant of my fiancee and I and I just cropped it. The one I took is flexed obviously, the other 2 are totally relaxed.

[HARD AT IT]

NICE WORK!!!! Karma for sure bro!! Keep it up my man=)

 

[ajdonutz]

Ok any suggestions? No issues at all on anything last week, come in today for chest. Hit my warmups on bench 135x6, 225x2, 335x1 and then throw 405 on there which I've been doing that for a month now, and lower down and about 2 inches off my chest my upper pec/delt tie in gets really tight and I decide I shouldn't go any lower, I went ahead and pushed it up myself though I still had the power. Well, after it got real tight and sore. I kept doing shoulder moves to warn it up but then even 135 on bench or the bar on incline and 10 lb flyes would send it in pain. Its still mobile and there was no tearing sound or anything notable other than tightness when I lowered the rep..

I think in going to take the whole week off as I probably needed a reload anyway, and keep taking my osyeo BiFlex and my super cissus and eating like normal, but any suggestions? Anyone ever encounter this? It feels like its the muscle where my upper pec and front delt connect.. its sore and tight right now. Would a week off be enough?

Have you been doing your stretches? the DC delt stretch will address this. More than likely its the biceps tendon and could be trapped. if you can get a massage on it to loosen the muscles then get into those stretches, it always helps me. I did the same thing being in the wrong position on the Incline HS machine one week.
