Haven't looked in here in a few months. Hope everybody is still progressing....
I got a little bored with my splits so I'm taking a shot at Smolov. I hit 495 on my deadlift a couple weeks back and realized my squat was lacking so...I'm giving Smolov a shot. I'm only running the Base Mesocycle...

Read this and then rethink your strategy.
I love DB's...I feel like I get better work out of them, Unfortunately my gym only goes up to 130lb DB's so on days I want to go heavy with chest I've got to switch over to the Barbell. I even use them on back day doing DB rows over BB rows.
I just got my hands on some Rings so now I'm...
what kind of HIIT do you do?
I do Battle ropes/Jump rope/Box jump circuit and I do it in the room where they hold zumba classes, ect.
Did Legs late last night, they felt good so I pushed it kinda hard.
Squat: 6 sets, Finished at 315 x 10 for the last 2 sets.
Leg Press: 4 sets, went up to 22...
Hit 435 x 5 on DL today...I credit that to Gunplay - Bible on the Dash...As far as getting a gallon of water a day goes, I'm not sure what you guys do for work but when I worked in a office I kept a 32 ounce water bottle and just made sure to refill it at least 4 times through the day...plus the...
I've tried one of All-Pro's workouts for about 6 weeks. I got stronger, body didn't change much. It taxed my CNS like crazy tho. I was more fatigued than anything so I stopped it and then went over to Max OT training.
It's finally getting cold in Pittsburgh, had the first snow of the season last night/this morning and it's got me excited...I always do my best gym work when it's cold and bitter outside. I really don't know why though..
Anyway, I found a alternate gym that I'm looking to sign up at. I'm still...
My workouts vary. I started out doing Max-OT, and that was too much of a bodybuilding workout for me...So I switched to WS4SB 3. After that I've been doing a lot of pullups, dips, squat, Deadlifting, ect. I don't really have a set workout routine. I go for what feels good, I almost always...
Heavy lurker on here, but I thought I'd post a progress shot. I started out around 245lbs or so...I haven't touched a scale in months so I'm not sure what I weigh now. Some of you might've seen me post this progress shot on IG for throwback thursdays lol.
Mine is blended..Part Leangains, part normal IF...
I don't follow it all exactly either because at the end of the day it's all about Calories in vs. Calories out depending on if you're Cutting, Bulking or maintaining. I do find that if I lift before I eat anything it doesn't effect my...

Green tea and water are all I really drink...I haven't even had a protein shake in about 3 - 4 months. Once I switched to IF, I didn't need em anymore.
