Sit-ups? We've come a long way since sit ups. I don't know anyone who does sit-ups anymore. So many better options available to work your core.

I’m down for any advice. What would you suggest?

Last week I finally got down to my goal of 180 which is a 40lb drop for me. BF isn’t where I want it to be but I figure it’s time to take a small break and focus lifting strong. No point chasing a lower bf% if I have nothing left to show underneath!

Today was leg day. Trying to grow my quads to the size of Hurt’s forearms.

Squats 8x10
Leg Press 5x10

Leg Curls 5x12
Leg Extensions 5x12
Donkey Kicks 3x12
Hip Abductions 3x15
Hip Adduction 3x20
Sit-ups 100

Interested in hearing how you feel after that session - that's a crap ton of volume just between the squats and leg press! Keep killin it man!

planks, side planks, ab wheel, rope crunches, hanging leg raises ( weighted ) decline weighted crunches, machine weighted crunches. Not saying do all of them but start with planks and pick any one of the others mentioned.

I was in Las Vegas last night for a convention and checked out the Las Vegas Athletic club on a tip from Gibs. Much better then my hotel gym.

Got an arm/shoulder workout in:

Lateral Raises 3x10
DB shoulder press 3x10
Military Press 3x10
Pushdowns 3x10
DB Front Raises 3x10
BB Curls 3x10
Incline Chest Press 3x10
DB Curls 3x10
Fly’s 3x10 (went to hit my rear delts but a sharp pain in my upper trap made me switch it up. Shoulders a little jacked from poor form on my benching)

I think I’m going to spend one more week focusing on keeping my strength then get back to cutting a bit more. Can’t seem to make my mind up but I’m feeling the urge to finish leaning out.

try some cable work for rear delts, like rope face pulls and bent over rear rows with no attachment.

Made the mental decision to continue dropping another 10lbs to finish leaning out first.

Added an ECY stack in even though the diet was working just fine. More out of curiosity then anything. I’m sticking to fairly low doses because my BP is already high and the EY combination isn’t the best for heart muscles anyway.

Morning workout (circuit style no rest 5-6x through each)

Pushups -> Decline Push-ups -> Leg Lifts
Bench Press -> Hang Cleans -> Decline sit-ups -> Machine Flys
Single Arm DB Press -> DB Press -> Machine Flys -> DB Hang Cleans

Evening Workout (Traditional Back)
HS Low Row 5x10
Pulldowns (wide) 3x15
Pulldowns (narrow) 3x15
Back Extensions (Weighted) 3x15
HS High Row 3x10
Leg Curls 3x20 *weak area I’m trying to hit more

I shot you an email but just in case you don't see it I would recommend dropping the Y from your stack. EC alone can be very effective and the jury is out on Yohimbine. Not worth the risks in my opinion given it's harshness on the body. Just my .02.

I’ll check to see why I missed the email - consider it dropped. You’re advice has been worth it’s weight in gold so far.
