Re: Gusto's Journal

Like you in a previously mentioned workout I didn't have much left in the tank after those dumbbells.... Also the incline was a high incline.... All they got in my gym lol. Let me know if you need more excuses haha

get the adjustable over in the smith so you can hit that low angle incline. that's what we want to be doing any way and not so much stress on the front delts

Re: Gusto's Journal

Only had time for the basic workout today. Wanted to hit calves abs and cardio as well but I had my kids waiting on me. That being said apparently its a liability for the gym if two kids, without a membership) sit quietly reading in the lobby while their dad lifts but if they had memberships they could run around the gym and play dangerously on the equipment... yes I witnessed that yesterday. Luckily nothing got said to me until I was 90% percent done with the workout so I just finished up real quick. On another venting note people really piss me off sometimes... was in great need of a flat bench to do dumbbell presses at the beginning and some inconsiderate jerk off had "a few more sets of some different things" before he was finished.... he then proceeded to do standing... yes standing... tricep extensions, bent dumbbell rows with only his hand on the bench, and close grip presses with a dumbbell held in a pullover position.... so in another words 2 inch close grip presses. I was so fricken fuming mad I almost lost it. Anyway rant over. Killer workout, felt very strong. Think I could have probably hit 150s for about 6 on those flat presses but the workout called for sets of 8 so I held off.

Re: Gusto's Journal

Once the fall comes and it is cooler outside your appetite will be back up. Hard to eat enough when you are super busy and worn out. You are successful and you will make it happen again this year.

Re: Gusto's Journal

Killer workout today. Awesome pace, burn, and pump. I mentioned to guns this morning during my breakfast that my appetite was in the shitter. I've been forcing food down and every day for probably the past two weeks in the gym I've felt either like I had a rock in my gut, nauseous, like I was going to shit myself, or all three LOL. Anyway he temporarily cut my diet by about 25% to drive my appetite back up and I already felt much better in the gym today. Its sucks cuz Im trying to add size but hopefully it will help in the long term.

Re: Gusto's Journal

Really good secondary legwork out today. Nothing insane or heavy but just a good pace and good pump. I added in the iso holds on the leg curls, and I added in the leg extensions and hip abductors as well. Let myself slack a little on my final meal. Typically I try to limit myself to only one shake a day and the rest whole food. But I honestly just wanted a break from cooking and cleaning at night.

Re: Gusto's Journal

Great workout today, only thing was that mass cake sat in my stomach like a big gut bomb and wouldn't digest. Almost lost my lunch on those dumbbell row double drop sets. That double drop set on the dumbbell rows was absolutely insane. Was freaking pissed when I found out about guns numbers. Thought for sure I had him on that one lol. Kind of fun though to have the guessing game friendly competition going.

Guns is being nice in his thread. Felt like a big ***** today. Had a very uncomfortable feeling in my left ham and lateral glute. Really felt like pushing it on squats would have been bad.
