Come winter bulker Ill be hitting about 2 dozen a day as well.

i started it on monday man. i used to break it down quads mon chest/bis tues delts/traps weds back/tri thrus hams friday and off sat and sunday. now it is just all out craziness with lots of tweaks and different muscles being attacked on different days and legs are all in one session. my diet will also change at some point in sept because i am bringing on a new coach for my offseason and prep for 2015 big show run. as for the eggs i love them and if beef doesnt go down i will be hammering 3-4 12 egg meals and maybe a chicken meal or two. these prices on food is just plain stupid. i did the math on my steaks and it is right at or just over 40 bucks a day. no way i am putting that kind of money into beef

let me tell you also gusto these training setups are stupid brutal. give them a try as i go along. i havent been this beat up and sore in a very long time. my legs feel like i just finished scout swimmer school after the marathon run on legs monday. 12 sets of squats was just the icing on the cake and i am a leg training monster that broke my own self off haha

Tweettoday:

back
10 min treadmill warmup
cable pullovers 40x20 55x20 70x20 (lat warmups)
meadows rows 25x15 35x15/2 70x8 90x8 115x8 135x8 (super super heavy for me today)
rack deads ss 135x5 185x5 225x5 275x5 (warmups) 365x4ss 365x4ss 365x4ss 365x4ss 365x4ss
chins ss x10 x8 x8 x6 x5 (lost strength on these really quickly and going from racks to these is super silly)
stretchers 50x10 75x10 85x10
banded hypers x15(10)/3 did these with a medium red band and first number is banded and second is after dropping the band

todays back session should be called the back wrecker. my mid and lower back are still pumped and trashed. lats pumped up really good but the mid and lower back seems to have taken the brunt of the attack. so much so that people pointed out to me that you could see my spinal errectors poking through my sweatshirt haha. now hopefully it will start to grow freaky after that one and the many more to come. abs are much better and calves arent no where near as sore as i figured they would be. prob going to hammer those with the workout tomorrow

i dropped full deads awhile ago. i dont think i need a ton of more work to my legs so i figure i will maximize the back using this movement as opposed to full deads. i think it is far more effective at targeting the back anyway at least for me it is

TweetJust checked out those meadow rows on you tube. Will be giving them a try this coming week. Look like a good change up to one arm dumbbells.

i like doing them on the tbar apparatus better than off the floor. you get a better stretch i believe. cool thing about these rows is you can move around the bar and change the angle that it hits the lat and mid back. so every time you do them or even every set you can crush a different angle.

those of you that actually know how i train i really dont do a whole lot of bicep work. i am using this new system and i am doing everything to the t. reason why i dont do a ton of bicep work or really focus on them is the judges told me not to hammer my bis to much and get out of proportion and also i had a partial distal tendon tear in one of my arms that i didnt get fixed. i dont want it to come all the way off so i am very gentle when it comes to bis. i did pick up a sleeve which is what the doc suggested to me and i am still in the process of stretching it out where it isnt horribly uncomfortable. 5xl isnt big enough which surprised me and the knee sleeve was to long to use on my arm. got to work with what you got.
