done for the day. no abs or calves today, we needed to hit up the grocery store and stuff and wanted to beat the crowd. i will get them in this week though. moved some pretty good weight around and got a really good pump. only thing to note is my bad shoulder was a bit irritated going in and really didnt warm up to well but i didnt have any instablility going on. just a note on that one and hopefully it will be good for heavy back tomorrow and actually warmup like it usually does.

done for the day. great pump and workout today. since i moved so quick through the movements i wasnt quite able to move as much weight as i usually can. it was still a nasty session though. i got a new safety squat bar with yoke today. that thing is freaking money. makes a huge difference in the squat stroke and the back stays so much more upright with ease. my lower back did get a little angry while doing presses today so i opted to do the stiff leg on the hacks again. it is so much smoother and less stressful on the lower back.

done for the day. 2 different rounds of giant sets equal stupid insane painful pumps. i did cut back on weight just a tad today and focused on keeping the contraction for a few seconds and a great stretch. i am trying to allow my joints a little bit of rest because i am hammering the piss out of them on back and chest days. arms is only supposed to be pumps anyway and not focusing so much on max weights.

done for the day. ok the tate upper back thingy. i have no idea what this movement is but we have a safety squat bar and i saw him teaching this movement so i said hey screw it i will try it. i could use a little more upper spinal errector lower trap and rhomboid thickness. anyway you arch your upper back and put your chin to your chest. then your contract your upper back and all the mid back muscles as you left your neck and the bar up. got into set two and yep, cramp and crick in my damn neck haha. it is a really good movement though and i can see how great the application is but i need to figure out how to take the stress off of using my neck so i dont have another freaking repeat. everything else went great today. super fast paced cause my training partner had an appointment. we got it all done in under 45 mins. no abs or cavles today because they are actually sore. day off tomorrow and i need it.

done for the day. we moved pretty quick today. not as quick as i would have liked to but still made pretty good time. again i had to back off on the leg extensions because they make one of the tendons in my knee pop and it freaks me out. no pain or anything just popping and feels weird. great pump today though and moved some really good weight. back actually feels really good and today was my anniversary so i got in a really good cheat meal that actually wasnt to awful bad till i added a cookie into it lol.

TweetStill on point as usual...

Question? Abs: I do t want them ton grow just get ripped and tighten waist or keep same size, I will probably get tuck unless skin tightens enough which I doubt from staying leaner.
Questions is I've been hit to abs every gym session is this ok? I've been doing kneeling cable weighted crunches and a leg raise or bicycle style for second exercise should I be good no weighted abs to avoid to much growth?
Is it OK to work them everyday to get ripped but not grow to much?

Ugh sorry drawn out Nd sounds dumb typing I k ow it's a small muscle that can be worked everyday just a area I want to shred and keep tight ☺

i like abs to be 4-5x per week at most and that is going to be determined by how well you are able to recover. a lot of people dont know this but when you train your abs it stresses your central nervous system just as much as doing heavy squats and deadlifts do. now again everyone's recovery is different and if you have it down you can hit them on all your training days no problem. hell, i didnt used to be able to do so and i am able to now. best way to tell if your not recovering, is if you are getting and staying sore for more than a couple days, you feel like butt hole, your getting sick more frequently and or little nagging injuries are popping up and not going away. as for training those bad boys, what you are doing now is good to go but may need to think about switching movements up each time so your abs to adapt. keep it to 4-5 sets per movement in the 15-20 rep range. biggest thing you have to focus on is a good stretch at the top and when you contract blow out all the air in your lungs and squeeze your abs as hard as you can for a 1-2 count. free hanging knee ups are another great movement to get the lower abs with both a stretch and contraction. absolutely for no reason train your obliques, never never never, they grow faster than any muscle in your body and respond to very little stims

Perfect perfect most of what you added is what I've been do as well, maybe a few more reps and I really focus on the stretch but will squeeze contraction for longer and I meant hanging leg raises I do them as bpak has this shredded guy show in his mi40x videos with a Back contraction at bottom then into abs contract then raise legs it works great... Also I have been changing a bit but always doing the weighted rope crunches but will diversify some more...
Cheers my man
