Training and Random Thoughts

I mentioned in a previous log that my leg training wasn't going well at all.  That being said, it went surprisingly well. I went light on squats and went for reps and had a pretty good warmup. I think with the extra recovery I'm now giving my legs, I think they won't hurt as much. I have a second back session on Friday, so looking forward to that and making step by step improvements to that bodypart.

As I scroll through Instagram and Facebook the one thing that annoys me is the "Fitness meme" culture. Look, guys.....we get it, you've broken down life and success into percentages. You've made a mockery of lions and think you can walk with them (they're wild animals. They will fuck you up), and i especially like how everyone dreams.

Just. Fucking.Stop.

In powerlifting percentages are GUIDELINES. Not hard and fast rules. You think your training, diet and real life gives a good goddamn fuck about your "Life is 99% work and 1 percent sleep" bullshit?

No, it doesn't. Your training will be an ebb and flow and if your diet is on point, you'll be ok. You'll be tired as fuck if you don't sleep, so please stop with the dumb shit. Take a damn nap.

I still see reading is a fundamental attribute that most people don't use. Proof of that is when people post one-sided argument websites pushing an agenda that's usually along party lines OR they post parody websites that you should damn well know ain't real! Stop that too!

This has to have been the shittiest football season I've ever watched. Mainly because one team is mediocre and the other is just flat out terrible. I'm talking about the Huskers and Bears. Nine wins is not, I REPEAT IS NOT, the pinnacle of success in college football. In fact it shouldn't even be a measuring stick. Conference wins and National Championships is what matters. Super Bowls matter. Not the second place finish. So miss me with the nine wins arguments. Besides, if the Bears had the Huskers record, they'd be in the playoffs.

Ok, time for work. Drop a comment below or on my Book of Face page.

Show Plans and Training.

I haven't done a post in quite awhile. Mainly because I'm just lazy as all hell on the blogging tip. Mainly because of life changes.

Life changes like.......

-Graduating college
-Working a lot
-Working a lot

So what about training?

Well it's been good actually. I've made the transition back to bodybuilding from powerlifting. I got hurt during a USAPL meet here in town and just decided that I need to step back from the max poundage a bit. So since April I've been bodybuilding. I feel like I've started from ground zero and I've built something respectable. Now that I'm in the tail end of my offseason,  I feel like this is the best I've been in awhile.

I'm not super lean, but I'm not out of shape either. But you can tell I lift. I'm not a believer in being the most leanest guy in offseason. I don't believe in being fat either. So take it for what it's worth.

My current split for the past few weeks have been

Mon: Legs
Tuesday: Chest/shoulders/arm flush
Wed: off
Thurs: Back
Fri: Legs (secondary workout)
Sat: Chest/shoulders/ arm flush

The "arm flush" is just a quick superset to get some blood in the arms. Nothing crazy on that end. I drop back to once a week Legs and chest and Back and shoulders/arms twice a week for four weeks or so.

My main goal for show prep is just to be in shredded condition. Period. I have the size, I have the shape. I just need to bring the condition and the chips will fall where they may. Shows are in July and August. so I'll keep this up as much as possible until show time.

Lets get in on!!
