realworksuks vs [Focus] - "LIKE DONKEY KONG, SON!"

jeez your bulking soon eh?! Why not just switch to a higher carb diet so that you can exercise all you want, and continue the cut?

Anyway... this is my training from yesterday:

Deadlifts
225 X 8
275 X 4
225 X 8

Yep, was in a rush again.

Weighted pullups
bw X 10
bw X 10
30 X 6
25 X 8

Seated rowing
100 X 10
120 X 10
140 X 8
130 X 10

Shrugs
85's X 10
95's X 10
85's X 15

Wrist roller
15

bodyweight ab routine..

Yep!

ALSO, I woke up yesterday and today and didn't have caffeine pills... I am trying to get off them a bit and only use them pre-workout.


Oh, and after my workout I rode bike and ran a mile. The running was tough on me, it was tough on my knees and lower back. My knees are destroyed from squatting and extensions... I think I should stop going below parallel, it seems tough on the knees, what do you think?

That's essentially what I'll be doing. Upping calories slightly, getting more carbage... and then adding a couple hundred calories every week or two until I find a point at which I consistently gain 1-2 lbs a week. Which may take quite a while, the first month or two of which I will continue to shed body fat pretty fast, as I will also be upping my activity dramatically. Like, ridiculously. :D

Trying to quit our dark mistress, eh? Not me! Caffeine is my homeboy.

I dunno. I was having issues, but they went away. Good shoes make a very noticeable difference. What are you using?

Unfortunately, this is something I don't really know much about, sorry. I haven't gotten up to speed on this stuff, as I'm pretty much invincible. I do occasionally get slowed down or slightly injured, but I never stay that way for long. XD But afaik, ATG/Full squats are actually the best for the knees, contrary to popular mysticism.

Does it hurt when you're not doing the activity, or only during? Cause if it's a constant thing, I would definitely go find a good sports doc and get it checked out. Could be quite a number of different things.

Guess who has 10 grams of ephedrine and is about to hit that **** with some caffeine and aspirin, and go for an epic run?

Weeeeeeeeeee. :D

Edit: Not all 10 grams, relax. Although that would have been quite the hilarious end to my stay here. :p
 
Curses...it appears I don't actually have any aspirin. Or anything even remotely like that. I don't get headaches, or colds...or, yeah. Sooo, I guess the first hit will not be a true ECA. I will get some aspirin from the co-op on my way home.

Training

Ran 3.0 miles in 26.5 minutes - 8.5 minutes/mile. PB!

Thoughts

Schooled my previous time by a minute and a half per mile. Not bad for my day off. ;)

Also, thanks T~spot. I feel very big, y'know.
 
I am really looking forward to hearing how the ECA stack works... I hear it's the only "diet pill" that actually really does something.

We're such druggies.. :p

MY PUMPITUDE WILL BE FEARSOME

Kinda being dumb about it, though, as it'll be hard to tell what's what with regard to the creatine and the ECA. I figure take both, come off creatine at some point, note effects. Attribute the remainder to ECA. In terms of performance, I mean. Fat loss and such, it's all ECA all the way.

And though I've only been loading the creatine for two days, I think I can actually feel the difference. The "deflated" feeling has dissipated, mostly. The next few days will be exciting indeed. :D

Can't WAIT to see what happens tomorrow. Most of the potential performance enhancement effects of the ECA stack occur immediately, so rep upper day should be a blast. And the creatine should be starting to kick in, if it's gonna do anything. Oh, and the potassium might have an effect, too. Damn, I should really have incorporated one thing at a time... But any which way, I was gonna supplement potassium anyway, for general health. Oh, and I'm doing BB bench instead of db, but for massive reps, which I've been wanting to do for a while, so good times is coming. <3

Thoughts

Woah. :D

I don't know if it's all of it, or some of it, or what, but something I just started taking is working. Everything on the board is a personal best, and completely destroyed last week's workout.

Accidentally did too many reps on the first set of the B group, haha. But apparently, it wasn't a problem. :cool:

Limiting factor on the bench was very, very obviously my right forearm. It was working hard while everything else was hardly working. So, I've come to a decision:

Straps on all sets of the RDLs (That's one exercise, on one day - Tues), and direct grip work twice a week. My forearms were completely destroyed today. I could barely hold my empty plastic shaker cup on the way home, no jokes. It weighs something like 4 ounces, and is maybe 2 inches in diameter. XD This will mean making sure my forearms are progressing as fast as possible, but also let me move some real weight on my RDLs. I will monitor and stop using straps when my grip catches up. And it will. I was shocked I was able to hold on to those 80 lb dumbbells today!

Also, since it seems 1:30:45 is working just fine for the E, I'm taking 2 days off from it (sat and sunday), and if all is still (BETTER THAN!) well, going up to 1:15:30, and then 1:10:15 the next week. C and A absolute values are static at 250 and 325. Remember kids, be responsible! :D

New Program...!

I started a new program designed specifically for fat loss, I am not sure exactly how I wanna do it, it’s a circuit training program that I made up, it was insane how high my heart rate was.

I did 1 set of each and then went to the next exercise, and repeated 3 times, very little rest between each exercise, just enough to switch the weights.. Then I took like 3 minutes after each circuit was completed before I started again.

So I did for my first circuit
Bench
Squats
Seated Row
Military Press
Good morning

Then my second one was
Lunge
Traps
Rear and side delt raises db
And I initially put stiff leg deadlifts in here but decided to take it out.

Then my third one was
Leg curls
Abs
Calf raises

It was sick man, it should get me pretty ripped. I think I want to do like a max effort lower and upper body day once per week… to try to keep my lifts up there.

But I realized I was trying to do two things at once and progress wasn’t great cuz of it, so I am going to start lifting for fatloss.

Focus is that DB Mili Press per DB or all together?
