Growing phase Log. GET SOME

[Sparky573]

Going to start this log in attempt to have it so I can look back on it. As I’ve never logged training. Or diet. I’ve been really upping intensity and I’m pushing and fighting for more tissue as we all are. Im focused dedicated and as prioritized as I’ve ever been. This is going on second full year of training. Other than years ago I’ve built everything in the past year and only been consistent for a little over a year. So here we go. Planning on doing national qualifier in 24’ so I need to squeeze every bit of growth I can before then.

Start weight. 227 lbs 6’1
Calories have been around 4,000 still dialing it in.
Training 2 on 1 off. Chest tri shoulder. Back, bi. Off legs.
Gear. Just started two weeks ago. Blood work looks good as I cruised for 6 weeks. Everything in range.

Off day today. High carb day. Went a little crazy 5800 calories
Diet today. -5 whole eggs with two bagels
-8 oz chicken. 2 cups of white rice. Tbsp fat
-8oz chicken. 2 cups of rice. Tbsp fat

Tomorrow is back day but I’m still toasted from yesterday so I may take another day for recovery. But I’ll be back tomorrow.

Hello everyone. Today was back day. Had my usual breakfast. 5 whole eggs. 1 blueberry bagel w/light cream cheese. 1’english muffin. 2 cups milk.

Felt pretty crappy today. I can feel the systemic inflammation creeping in due to my previous training sessions. Yesterday I was off, Thursday was push day, Wednesday legs. Legs recovered better but my chest shld and triceps are lit up and it’s been 2 days since I trained them. The more intense training has def resulted in more fatigue and hitting me hard the next few days. My body’s not used to this though. So tomorrow is leg day on my 2 on 1 off split. May take a rest day though and listen to my body. Because it’s screaming it.

Anyway, ate breakfast then ended up falling asleep until about 10:30. Woke up took some supps. Went to the gym.

How old are you? Have you always had systemic inflammation issues?

 

[Sparky573]

How old are you? Have you always had systemic inflammation issues?

26. I don’t know if I used the right word choice. I know that’s pretty vague and can mean a lot saying systemic inflammation. I think I’m backed up a little from the day before, and my bodys pretty beat up from training. Im also prob getting a little toxic from a bombs.

Shut up

Chest day. And holyyyyyy smokes things are cranking up for sure. I was on the way to the gym getting that feeling I always look for on my way. That’s the mentality of a madman. Ready to outwork everybody and destroy anything in my way. I was harnessing that energy. Feeling more ramped up than usual, it is approaching 3rd week on this protocol so things are starting to pick up. Anyway, I was feeling intense. Knowing my sets to failure were going to be a battle. I was prepared. 1st movement was a seated chest press. My set to failure was good. Everything felt great, chest shoulders all working well. I was on one. 2nd movement was incline smith. I was feeling good so for my failure set I threw on 225 and repped 10 which is good for me. My pump was insane, chest was filling with blood. Now I’m revved up to the Max. Probably looking like an insane maniac, grunting pushing out those last reps with sheer intensity. I love it, I live for it. So, to the cables. I done an incline fly movement. And holy smokes the upper chest felt full and this had been a very week point in my structure. So I’m pumped to see it progressing. I pumped out flies until I couldn’t anymore. By this time I was sweating out my oversized t. Listening to kick start my heart Motley Crue on repeat the whole time in the gym, I’m a NUTT. and I love it. I take off my pump cover to reveal what is most def the most insane look I’ve ever had. Shoulders wider and fuller than a house. Chest pumped beautifully together with the shoulders. It’s safe to say today was a great workout. I than went to finish with a couple tricepcmovements and shoulders.

Here’s the workout

Seated chest press. Warm up set
Moderate set 12 reps
Failure set. Stack for 10

Incline smith
Moderate set 170x12
Failure set 225x10

Calories were 4,100 today. All clean calories

It's not any work at all when nobody follows you or gives a shit like mine, lol

 

[Sparky573]

Yeah you right but I can’t be handsome jacked and literate come on man I gotta leave the literate part to you.

 

[Sparky573]

You got one? Lol and but still like having someone film my workouts because I don’t even wanna walk in the gym let alone press record and stop every 30 seconds

 

[TomJ]

Yeah you right but I can’t be handsome jacked and literate come on man I gotta leave the literate part to you.

1/3 ain't bad. Shouldn't take you long to get the other 2 with hooked on phonics and a couple dumbbells

Lol wait what two do I not have? I’m confused. Or you saying you’re 1/3 ?

 

[Oakley6575]

Following. Do you have any starting physique pics?

 

[SparkyKarl]

Why type "Gear" and not tell us what you're running?

 

[TomJ]

Lol wait what two do I not have? I’m confused. Or you saying you’re 1/3 ?

You poor poor boy

 

[Jenn_is_Jenning]

Lol wait what two do I not have? I’m confused. Or you saying you’re 1/3 ?

If I may translate:
He's saying you have 1 out of 3 of those qualities, so let's break it down.

The 3 qualities in question are handsomeness, being jacked, and literacy.

To get the remaining 2 qualities you need hooked on phonics and some dumbells.

Hooked on phonics would help with literacy and the dumbells would help with being jacked. By process of elimination we can now conclude he believes you are handsome.

Which is still a very nice thing to be.
