* did backoff sets on smith machine for better recovery of core while still getting my quads,hams and glutes good volume. did them wearing chucks and 5lb plates. smith at 24hr gym has a slight incline. makes the motion feel very natural.
* woke up midday to watch warriors game. 1st q down 25. fukkit. back to sleep. popo is GOAT. watched highlights later. popo is GOAT. spurs leading with less than 2 mins to go with kawhi out. 40yr manu dunking on 6'7" kids.

* 435x1 was heavier than usual this morning. the volumes of smith squats yesterday added some fatigue. did minimum of 315x5 to iron form and lift stronger later.
* got back to vertical pulling again. tenderized my left elbow weeks back most likely from the 100lb single arm cable pulldowns. will use lighter weights more and do 10 reps. 1-2 sets of heavy 5s to start.

* i got the 405 up so explosively that it reminds me of the time i'm getting the 475 paused. the 455 was smooth without any glitch or grind. probably could have gotten a grinding 475 but i'm getting too old for that intensity.
* smith machine squats as backoffs works. will do more and see if i can turn the morning squats to smith only for more recovery. the multi 315x5s paused squats couple of days ago added some tightness to my lowerback. im sure i'm getting lazy and tired fully bending the knees and ankles on some reps and end up rounding the lowerback to get to full depth. i cant do that on the smith because the bar comes down and forward which forces me to get some good ankle dorsi flexion. will take smith squat video soon.

* the 405 was not as easy as usual. 435 would have been a fight. skipped top set and did backoff 315 on the smith.  il get 435 later but would be really good if i get 455 again.

* my legs were already strong for 435+ but i feel some crushed fatigue in my lowerback. not the fatigue from a rounded lowerback from bad squat form. i fried my back doing volumes of smith shoulder pressing. again. skipped shoulder pressing today and tomorrow morning. il get my 455 wed afternoon.

* skipped the 315x5 backoff on smith to make sure i get an easy 455 later.  not prepping for 475 because my BW is stuck now at 204lb. 208lb+ and il go for it. removed all vertical pushing. i do the chest press with narrow grip and handles lined up with my shoulders (low seat height). it should give plenty of action to my anterior delts and triceps without involving much pecs. will stay with this as long as i dont get DOMS on chest.
* my cable upright rows are improving. i did a good set of 5 using 140 (equivalent resistance to 70lb db). these are strict reps with full ROM. il start to lose the top ROM at 160+ unless i do some sort of rocking motion at the bottom. stack tops out at 200.
* was looking at previous journal logs and saw my Day-1 non-strict paused vid of 455x1 at 192-194lb bw on Feb 11, 2013. (page 75).

* squats form felt solid this morning. not 455 strong but form ironed enough that the 435 did not tire me. another 455 later. did smith bench press with a little incline because i get dizzy when i lay flat. just enough so that blood does not rush into my head.
* i will do another volume sets of smith squats later.

Calves seated calf raises soleus  6x45lb+25lb 5x2 sets
Abs weighted situps dumbell 15lb 5x2 sets

* kept most exercises to 5x2 sets to get good pace going without too much fatigue. was not expecting the shoulder pressing with 205lb to be easy so i went up to 225s. not a back breaking crawl. 215lbs would be perfect for 5x2 sets.
* cable rowing topped out at 75lb. i was doing 20 reppers with this same weight months ago. i can still do 20s but my joints get tender eventually. added weighted situps again. light weight tohelp my core recover faster. 435-455 again by mon-tue.

* so i won't do 5x4 sets on back to back workouts. i'm very strong this afternoon. had to do more volumes.
* just realized a while ago that my shoulder pressing on the smith with 225lb is heavier and has more ROM than the sunday warriors doing their 1/4 squats in the power rack next to me.  i like being 205lb heavy. woot!

Vertical Push seated smith machine shoulder press 215lb 5x4 sets 
Calves seated calf raises soleus  6x45lb+25lb 5x1 sets | 7x45lb 5x2 sets

* i don't know if the tightness in my back is from the 455s last tue-wed or from the 205-215-225lb shoulder pressing, or a combination of both. i blast thru the squat routine of 4 sets without any breaks. just the time it takes to add or remove the plates. my shoulder pressing and calve raises are improving.
* i split the shoulder pressing routine into 2 sets of 5x2 sets. did the first 2 sets then did my rowing. then came back to shoulder pressing again after much needed rest. been taking a lot more proteins. 200g just from the musclemilk light. sale at costco this month for 80c each.

* did not feel completely recovered yesterday and this morning to attempt 405+. i could have gotten 435 already but if it turns to a crawl or another mid-back collapse, i will set myself back a lot more days. better be on the safe side.

* 435x1 was not heavy. could do 455 again tmrw if nothing feels wrong. my left elbow is still not ready to do vertical pulling. tried doing bw chins and the ROM on the left is not good. something in there is still tender.

* got a clean paused 455 without a crawl. BW staying at 204lb. resting the upperbody shoulder pressing because my lowerback is still fatigued. upperbody push doing the seated chest press works well as long as i don't use too much weight and start flexing my back.

* had to modify my sleep a little to watch warriors game at noon. il take another 4-5hr nap again and lift at 10-11am ish. 435 was not very heavy. not fast enough that i could have gotten 455. calves need more recovery to get to 7x45plates again. im getting very comfortable using the lifefitness machines. the chest press is awesome. i get the soreness in my delts. the stack goes to 300lb. i have time to grow. 220-240 in the next few weeks. 180 is not heavy.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Human Growth Hormone at Costco
« on: May 04, 2017, 06:28:40 am »
not the actual hgh, but an hgh promoting formula: https://www.costco.com/SeroVital-Dietary-Supplement%2c-160-count-.product.100121701.html

the most sought after PED made it legally to costo.  :uhhhfacepalm:

i know somatotropin because i make nutropin at work (gene.com). serovital claims a 600% increase in natural hgh level. good thing with costco is the return policy. not going to do it myself and waste my time but imagine taking a month's worth $80 and doing an hgh serum testing after using it. if blood hgh serum remains the same, return for a full store refund - no questions asked.

that claimed 600% increase is right there at the anabolic dosage requirement - baseline of 1.5iu up to 8iu+.

im surprised costco took this product. im for certain no $80 product is going to give you the same HGH levels as a $100,000 a month Nutropin supply for an 8iu/day at $400 per iu.

Boxing / Re: Klitschko vs Joshua (Spoilers Hidden) A must see fight
« on: May 02, 2017, 01:14:12 pm »
klitschko said it himself on the post fight interview - i thought the fight is mine already after i knocked him down because he tire himself out. klitschko did not believe a HV can recover from that.

Joshua on a rematch is very dangerous. i fear for Klitschko but i would still want to see the fight. WK can win with a solid right but if the fight goes on to the later rounds.. there is no way he can match the power of the young guy. a WK win will put him (or hes already there) with the boxings GOAT.

* counting the 435x1 reps at this 202+lb bw. im not as strong because of the end of work week but was still able to get a paused 435x1 without crawling and grinding. the 405x1 rep is getting quicker. i know from the 186 singles of 455 i did before how to gauge my squat limit from the quickness of the 405. not there yet but im getting closer.
*  215x5 on the smith inclined pressing was alright. might tire too fast so limited that heavy set to 5x1

* one new old guy at gym giving advice to random people trolled my shoulder pressing. said i would blow my shoulder joints eventually because i'm doing a full stretch at the bottom while im resting the bar on my paused reps. i said ok to avoid more trolling. looked at him and did another set of 195lbx5 the same way.. woot. good thing he was not there to see my squats.
* my left side delt got hiccups. muscle spasm that i cannot stop. im not dehydrated. getting annoying now. been pulsing for hours now.

* busy gym at 5:30pm suddenly got quiet and mother of god.. that guy got up after pausing 4 1/2 plates.   :headbang:
* bw still at 204lb but the 405 concentric is so quick already. did 455x1 paused again and it was not a grind. smooth concentric and it did not tire me. probably get it again  tomorrow. the 315x5 backoffs felt like an empty bar.  i'm back to nasty strong again.

* 455x1 paused again with only a 2.5hr nap between the workouts. i usually only sleep 3-4hr max during the night and another 6.5-7.5hr during the day depending if its a work day or not. the 455 was heavier than yesterday and there was a slight crawl. not grind enough to not tray it again later. i did not break anything otherwise i would have skipped the 315x5.
* rewarded myself and bought porterhouse to bake at home for breakfast. its already a warm summer day. it would be really nice if i can recover strongly after i sleep later. i have a vacation from work today so i should be able to take in more fatigue for a wed afternoon lift.

* 405 was still very easy so i had to go for it. 3rd workout in a row to use the 455x1. got more than halfway up with good momentum but i underestimated my core fatigue from the volumes of shoulder press. my midback caved in the moment i slowed down a little. i was so close to getting the rep. i failed at the quarter squat height. very rare that i make it all the way up there only to collapse my back. i know that i failed at a higher point than usually because the damn thing made so much noise when i dropped it to the pins. stood up, removed plates, clean 135lb and set up the 315. the backoff set felt good. i just put too much fatigue on my torso stabilizing muscles.. but i did it anyway. 205lb 5x2 sets on the smith. cut down from the usual 4 sets.
* cable upright rows feeling better the more i do them. the machine i use tops out at 150lb (75lb effective).  i'm at 120lb now.  more room to grow.

* resting the squats. 405 felt good. good thing with having a higher top single - resting routine becomes a very quick session. no rest from 315-365. 3 mins to 405 and 315 right away. done. took me longer heating up (hand dryer) and putting my adistars.
* skipping the shoulder pressing this morning. might do 5x2 later if my back improves.

* resting. squats felt normal. back fatigue almost gone. left tricep / elbow tired now from all the pressing. left arm lat pulldown felt very heavy so i had to stop and do lighter weights for volume/recovery. something 25-50%max of working weight.

* 1-2 days away from complete recovery of lowerback from the beatings of heavy volume shoulder pressing. did 195lb 5x2 sets today just to keep the movement going. i'm never broken from squats, rows and calves. shoulder pressing, dips and cable one arm vertical pulling gets me busted whenever i do too heavy+too frequently.

anybody watch the joshua klitschko fight last night - not big into boxing but the hype for this over here was huuuge and it matched up to expectations

best heavyweight fight in a while.

dr. steelhammer at 41 handed a 27 yr old prime champ his first knockdown. klitschko could have finished him at 7-8 but joshua was able to survive and take it to 11.

cannot say anything bad to the performance of both fighters.

* was planning on an easy 315x5 this workout and peak to 435x1 later. was already strong again and did another 405x3. added very light cable upright rows for my pulling because i need to add some side thickness to my delts.
* it would be so good if i still get the 435x1 later.

* 435x1 paused was not max. i didn't glitch and grind. +10-15 more. this 202-204lb bw is working but i cannot continue eating more because i will eventually get fatter and fatter after 208lb+.  i remember again how i was able to single 455s daily for weeks. i was 210lb thick. it makes so much difference.

* shoulder pressing on the smith on 1 set only because i had to be at work. i just pissed off my shoulders because the set felt very light and needed a 205x5 to feel satisfied on the pressing. will make up for it tmrw. limit the horizontal pulling in favor of the pressing.

* stronger calves not a fluke. still consistent in getting 5s on 7x45lb plates with strict paused and no-arms form. i also get the last rep high enough to lock the machine into place. most times il use my hands to get the extra top ROM to put back the lever support.
