sick pumps, took selfies in between each set

 

Abs on a skinny guy are like tits on a fat girl...it doesn't count.

Unfortunately for me, I've only worked out twice this week. Legs on Monday and shoulders and triceps Wednesday. I think I've got the flu. I worked through it Wednesday, but felt like shit the next day, so I've been taking it easy. I feel like I'm losing all my gains haha! I lost my appetite, so I've only been getting like a third of my macros. Haven't lost any weight, though. Damnit, I'm ready to lift!

 

Ohhhh yeah! Me too. Mandatory tank day too!

Agreed

I was feeling off a couple weeks ago too lack of appetite .. Just pushed trough it. But a flu is much worse haha. Feel better man

 

Thanks, man. I've been weighing myself everyday, just to make sure I'm not losing weight haha. I don't really have an appetite, so I've been drinking the shit out of my Serious Mass protein shakes and popping vitamin c pills like m&m's haha.

 

That's the best thing to do bro. Also when you rest/sleep throw on some sweats and a lot of blankets to sweat the sick out

 

Will do. I wish my gym had a sauna. I'd be in there with all the creepy naked old dudes.

 

Fify

 

Dam phone

 

That, too. Abs on a string bean are just as bad as a fatass that can bench 400...

 

what about muscles and tits on a fat guy

what about a fatass that can squat 400

 

Thoughts?

 

So instead of doing lets say a (12,10,8,6) with weight increasing per set you would do (6,8,10,12) with weights decreasing?

 

No you start out at a weight that you can only hit 6 reps. For basically any compound lift I guess. Then next time you do that workout again, you should at least hit 7 reps, and so you keep using the same weight you did as the first time, till you hit 12 reps for a couple sets Im assuming. And however long that takes. So i think its saying like day 1 will be 3x6, and then the rest is different for every person but you want to be able to get to 3x12, before moving to a much heavier weight (for just whichever exercise you can get the reps on. It also doesn't specify how many sets.)

To me, it seems like it would work. Curious to what others think though.

 

That's what I kind of do.....before moving on to a higher weight hit a set amount if reps for the weight I'm doing now.

Keeps your form pretty good to. you always have to test the waters every once in a while......

But I work up and then start counting.....

So right now for squat I'll work up to 205 then start doing the 'if when I get 3 good sets of 8 I'll start working on 225' etc. keeps you from hurting yourself to.

Right now I've done 2 good sets and about 3 good ones of the last set. Once I do that for 2 workouts in a row I move up.

 

monday wasnt a good enough leg day... So I did legs yesterday

3x10 warm up front squats w/150
5x5 squat up to 225
5x10 inverted press up to 450
5x10 hammy curl up to 150
5x10 seated calf raises w/150


now......Now I feel like a cripple

 

Ok gotcha. Seems like a good way to up your bench, deads and squats.

 

Are you having good results? Right now I want to lose some bf% and pack on some muscle mass. Im assuming if I keep my diet on absolute track, then ill slowly lose the bodyfat while keeping my strength. Do you do this technique for all lifts/exercises you do?
