used to hate leg days.....now i'm starting to like them (now that i don't feel like puking halfway through anymore)

however, the day after is awful.....feels like someone stabbing me in the ass, hamstrings and quads

 

You have a whole day dedicated to DLs? Curious to hear the break down.

 

That actually sounds pretty good. I might have to steal that one.

 

Lol funny but so true

 

You always know tomorrow is going to suck when the soreness starts to kick in that night.

 

Or just a few hours after! Didn't get the chance to do legs with any weights for the past two weeks. Finally did legs today and they are already b*tching!

 

did legs yesterday at work and had to sit on my bed to put my pants on.

today im just walkin bow legged like im afraid my dicks gonna drag on the ground

 

I'm on session 17 of SL5x5, I haven't had to deload yet, adding 10lbs each workout. I'm glad I got back in to it.

Also:

 

Had 3 different people comment today about how much bigger I'm starting to look. Makes me feel better about paying to pick up heavy stuff.

 

before and after pics? No homo!

 

Squat like crazy the next couple weeks.

Yesterday -9-7-5 @ 205 - 225 - 245 245 was a bitch

Next week 7-5-3

And then I think it is 5-3-1

Might be missing a few in between but it's along those lines. Can't walk at all today.

 

Don't have any on me at the moment. Before pics were on my computer that crashed. Might have them backed up. Not sure. I've only been back at it for a month and a half after not doing anything for 4 years. So, I'm not sure that I'm gettin bigger as much as I'm just toning up. But, hey, if they wanna say that, I'm good with it. I finally broke 150 lbs yesterday. Started at 144 a month ago.

 

I'm getting to the point where I'm counting calories. I found a great android app call myfitnesspal. Yesterday I got 3567cals of "real" food.

 

does the app have any preset foods like a 1 lb tbone is xxx calories or a banana is so and so calories?

 

Yea. You can also scan the barcode and it uses the nutritional facts used on the packaging, you just adjust your portion to the serving size.

 

how do you do that? or somethin like a fruit?

 

Yes. You can adjust serving size.

Ueah. I love it. Helps with planning my daily meals. For instance, today I will finish with 3529 because all my meals are already made for the entire day.

Fruit is already in the database. You just choose which size best matches.

 

My macros+ is another great app like that.
