RBurdge84's Training Log

[PillarofBalance]

I just upped your calories more than I feel comfortable doing so I think you'll see quite a difference in energy this week. It's all clean so you won't feel like garbage but should see a spike in energy.

Dammit spongy can't you see I'm trying to kill the guy?

That would make me hurl. I bet a shot of fireball in a vanilla protein shake might be nice...

Hell yeah man. Those are some nice numbers, even more so being natty. Doing some great work in here brother

 

[rburdge84]

^^^thanks man, I'm just happy to see me be able to do deadlifts properly instead of all my deadlifts looking like a Romanian deadlift

Week of rest did wonders

Leg day today, being a fat sac last week did good because today I crushed it

2 min rest
Box squats 5x5 (315lbs) felt real good on this and form was good
Squats 10x10 (205lbs) the weight wasn't bad, but man it got me winded. Also around set 7 my legs were twitching something serious
Glutes bridges 5x15 (70lbs)
Hyperextension 5x10 (45lbs)
Did upright rows while resting for back extension

 

[PillarofBalance]

10x10 anything is hell on earth nevermind when it's squats. Nice job putting the work in. Legs must be looking good these days.

 

[rburdge84]

[rburdge84]

Accessory day, not looking as good as I want in mirror.

So I crushed today's workout. All of this was either a giant set or superset. I am not happy with what I see in mirror. Either looking to small with not enough fullness in muscle or have fullness but too much softness in midsection. Any suggestions would help guys.

Calf raise 3x15 45 lbs
Adduction 30lbs 3x20

Db lateral raise 3x10 (20lbs)
Db reverse fly 3x12 (20lbs)
Plate raise 3x10 (45lbs)

Farmer carry with hex bar 30 yd (315lbs)
Lat pull down 3x10 (115lbs)
T bar row 3x10 (150lbs)

Superset
Preacher curl 3x10 (80lbs)
Rope tricep extension 3x10 (75lbs)

Talk to spongy. That sounds like lack of carbs. Could also be dehydrated.
