Congrats on the PRs buddy!

Whats your diet looking like?

Also, I'm curious how much rest time do you take between sets?

ES for 1 minute for chest - 55lbs - ooooh yeah

Standing Military Press 20rp - 14+6+6= 23 reps w/95lbs - Not a PR but I missed last Friday sooo possibly has something to do with that

ES for 1 minute for shoulders - broken arms lol

CGBP 20rp - 15+8+6 29reps 140lbs PR

ES for 1 minute for triceps - 40lbs - YOUCH PR

BB Row 1x6 - 200 lbs -- 1x12 - 145 lbs - Almost back to normal here


MONDAY-

Squats 1x6 F - 1x1 225lbs - Felt an awful pain in my calve today. Felt like it did about six months ago. I really didn't want to aggravate it further so I skipped squats today :(

Preacher curls 20rp - 13+10+6= 33reps w/45lbs too easy....WAY TOO EASY : ) PR guess it was from not doing the squats haha I still had my strength for the next stuff

Hammer Curls 1x15 - 30lbs PR Not really all that hard

ES for 1 minute for bicepts - amazing

Pullthrough 3x10 - 140 lbs - PR Go up to 150 next time no problem

ES for 1 minute for hams - I really hate this stretch

No calves - did abs instead

I'm going to ice up the calve it feels okay as I sit here and walk on it but when I added weight it was in a lot of pain. I think I may have gone too deep the wrong way during my warmup - ARGH!

Otherwise a good PR day!


*****Hey thanks Johnny! My diet is geared more towards fat loss and i've been doing well so far:

"Meal 1--3 scoops whey, 4 eggs, 1 banana (remove banana on non wo days) 3 green tea tablets + vitamin, 1 Sci Pill after meal

Meal 2- 3 scoops whey, 4 eggs, 1 banana (remove banana on non wo days) 3 green tea tablets and 1 sci pill after meal

Meal 3- 8oz ground beef or steak salad + dressing, 2 tbsp olive oil , 1 sci pill after meal

Meal 4- 3 scoops whey, 4 eggs, 2 tbsp of olive oil,8 fishoil pills

no pre workout meal

no carbs postworkout just have 3 scoops of whey +4 raw eggs

Meal 5- 8oz chicken breast, salad, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 sci pill after meal

Meal 6- 2cans tuna 8 fish oil pills

1cheat meal a week no more cheat days and cheat meal is only allowed if you do all cardio sessions

Cardio 5days a week first thing in morning 30min weighted back pack work walking up and down a steep hill 2 days 1hour long walk

**I take 15 extremely deep breaths between each restpause set (RP) I might sneak an extra one or two but I follow that pretty damn strict. It's brutal and DC is an amazing tool that's really helped me put on a lot of muscle with a really good simple diet.
