Benched 8x4 @ 195lbs. Felt great. Nearly failed on the final rep of the last set. Then inclined DB 60x15, 12.

Smolov jr inspired benching. My plan is to bench 3x/week: one day of 7x5, another of 8x4, and then a light day working up to a 90% single or so. I want to get back to repping 2 plates again!

Benched 7x5 yesterday... felt good. It was at 185lbs but I think i can get back to repping 2 plates quickly. I need to work on increasing my GPP. Maybe cardio can help with that a bit.

I moved and joined a rec center that has a bball court, but a really run down weight room. Can't even find all the dumbells but I'm trying to make it work. Tempted to just buy a power cage, bench, and some dumbells and put it in my living room if my roommates cool with it...

Completed my hajj   :personal-record:

Barely lifted, also got sick during it. And there was TONS of walking in intense heat, and barely any sleep was had. I didnt expect it to be so difficult.

Dropped to 182lbs and not even fasted. Lost a lot of strength and muscle. Im supposed to be crazy cut at 182 but nope! incline db dropped to 85x5. Wow. Just benched today and managed 185x5. But to be fair, i never bench anymore

Despicable numbers lol. Should start logging every workout again

Whats the squat plan after june?

261
Incline db has dropped to 100x5 for a few workouts now. Rdl went up to 405x8 after a day of pigging out. Those glycogen stores really make a difference

262
RDL at 405x7 now. Did not expect to be gaining strength tbis ramadan. Not even getting much protein. Weight is around 194lbs fasted. Looking to cut afterward. Hard cut, get down to a fasted 187 or so and go back to my clean bulk

I remember at some point the name of this thread was corrected to Kingfish. But then this site had some issue and adarqui rolled it back some days/weeks/idn what, and it reverted to Kingfush again. Been that way ever since.

Correct it again  :raging:

^ Oh yeah if I go back to my squatting 3x a week no doubt i can get back up to 4 plates quick. I'm just thinking long term. Don't want my hamstrings to fall behind and cause any imbalances. I remember this program being the most effective for me for squats:

monday - squat x4, x7, x7, 90sec rests
wednesday - squat x2
Friday - squat x4, x7, x7, 90sec rests

if i hit 4 reps, increase by 5lbs. So that was about 90% of my max. Same with the 7 rep work. If i hit both sets of 7, increase. The wednesday squatting for 2 reps was the same weight as the Friday following it.

The combo of high frequency, intensity, low volume but still some metabolic adaptation from the short rest period seriously boosted me

Inclined 100x7 last upper bodynworkout
Today is upper body again, I dont know if ill hit 8 but i better because i havent been able to hold back on the sweets  :uhhhfacepalm:

Edit: wasnt feeling too good, still hit 7 though!

267
Incline DB benched 100x6!!! That ties my all-time PR. I think i weigh heavier than the last time i did it though

Binged today again. Freakin halal guys...

Squatted 315x5 as well. Been about... a year since i was at that weight? Also RDL’d 405x5 earlier this week. PR is 445x6 i think, somewhere around there

I cant believe squat singles of 405 used to be my bread and butter. What the heck. Thats so unreal to me. Not trying to say its impressive, but rather just the fact that it feels so out of reach for me right now yet i used to be at that level. It feels unreal that i used to do it.

Got some more food pics   :ibjumping: lazy to upload and post now. 2:34am, time for an hour or so of sleep. Had too much tea.

Fasting probably shrinks your stomach or something. But yeah man just eat 3 dates drink water and pray maghrib in congregation, make dhikr, and then 2 sunnah rakats. Should be like ~12min time total. Enough for the dates to settle in a bit and so it should curb going all out after that for the main meal lol

Good Job Man. You are more consistent then me.
Man. I am unable to do all that. But it's good to see that it's helping.

Which part looks tough for you? Are you referring to having just a small iftar before maghreb and you just go all out on the food or what lol


Weighed in at a dry fasted 192lbs yesterday, or maybe 193lbs i forget
Crazy how much water weight one can actually hold

Guys how do i stop binge eating
This is ridiculous
Pretty much un-did my cut

missed this. when did you start binge-eating? you don't have a history of it that i recall.

I never posted about it before but lots of times when cutting i’ll give in for a day and go all out on processed carbs. This time indid it for like a week straight, maybe more? Jumped up to 200lbs FAST but that includes glyogen and watee weight. I was a dry fasted, glycogen depleted 182lbs at the end of my cut a few weeks ago.

Do you IF?

Kind of allows me to enjoy binges and still stay lean lol. I do always feel not so great after a junk binge though.

Yeah i do IF. Without IF i would never be able to cut lol

Ramadan is coming soon. That should help with that soon. Unless you start binge eating once you break your fast.

I already do nafl fasts here and there. Also helps that we eat 3 dates and then go into magrib prayer - gives the dates some time to settle in the stomach before having the real meal so you end up eating less overall. Also eating the sunnah way when possible seems to help: sitting on floor, using three fingers to eat instead of silverware, and eating small morsels at a time
