Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Hey brother curious if you ever run into motivation issues. I feel like I am dragging my ass to the gym I'm still putting in the work cause progress is still being made. But the fun is gone.

only two times that i lose motivation and have to force it. 1 is when i go way to hard for way to long. it goes away when i give myself more rest days and 2 when i get a shitty training partner working with me. some people just absolutely suck the fun and life right out of you. other than that not at all. you may need to take 3-7 days off to give your system a little break. 2 days is usually good for me most of the time

db pull overs 60x10/3
hypers x15/3

done for the day. great day in the gym. went with a faster pace than usual but pump and strength were outstanding. we focused heavily on text book perfect form and super long contractions. as soon as contractions were breaking the set was over. we killed it for sure. the t bar deads off the platform were unique and different. i usually use my attachment and go off the floor so i had a tad bit of a learning curve going on with them but i still felt them were they were supposed to and got good solid contractions. i actually didnt feel them at all in my hams, glutes or lower back even without a belt. good stuff and another successful day in the books.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

That's a good one that ascending set after all you had already done nice. I think I tend to go a little to fast on leg day. I go at the same pace as say chest. Do you think slowing down a bit would help

only times i slow down is when i have to wait and when i do heavy squats and leg press. the majority of time i go back to back with my partner. so maybe 1-3 mins on those heavy squats and presses then 45 to a min and a half for everything else. usually takes me about 2 hours or less even with cardio on a good day

legs/cardio

5 min stationary bike warmup

seated leg curls 90x10 105x10 120x10 135x10 150x10 160x10/4
squats 45x8 135x8 185x8 225x8 275x8 315x8 (felt smooth and good but stopped here just to be safe)
leg press ascending set 290x6 380x6 470x6 560x6 650x6 740x6 830x6 920x6 2min rest
leg press descending set 920x6ds 830x6ds 740x6ds 650x6ds 560x6ds 470x6ds 380x6ds 290x10
glute kick backs ss 120x8/3ss
walking lunges ss ss x 50 yards each 3 rounds
sled drags 230lbs additional resistance 4 rounds 40 yards each

done for the day. not extremely happy with today's performance at all. had to wait a few times which made me cool down more than once. still babying my knee a little bit to be on the safe side as well. it felt off a little on the first couple of sets of squats then 315 was smooth as butter. i pulled it there because i knew i had fast paced and heavy leg presses on deck. so i didnt want to get it fired up before getting there. i did all the squats with a super super slow tempo and long pause in the stretch and contraction. i was trying to get a feel of if it was pulling or anything. not my strongest or best day in the books but another successful day nonetheless. the sled kicked my ass pretty good too. glad i am refueling all my glycogen today and tomorrow. i did get 150g of carbs in before training and another hundred during. so i think that helped out a bit. may be a little dehydrated though.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

they are awesome for different angles, not messing with something that is bothering you and even better isolation. i like to do a ton of different variations myself, the only thing that sucks for me is i dont fit in a lot of the machines in our gyms haha

Brother I would love for not fitting to be one of my problems.

I've been getting to use machines on my arms since I started going with my wif in the evening. I feel it has made a big difference
