FAMILY TRIP TO ALABAMA
>:(
Food will probably be a problem as I wont have my own transportation. Im bringing a big bag of Syntrax Nectar Whey Protein Isolate with me so I hope to cram down two shakes a day in addition to the three meals Ill probably be getting. Not ideal but what can you do. Dont have the money for any Meal Repleacement shakes so itll have to do.

Just returned home yesterday. Was able to hit Gold's Gym in Dothan Alabama for two training days (came free with hotel) which was cool. Free weight section was all mixed up and a had a really underground feel to it.
Diet was not spot on by any means. I managed to eat atleast 4 times a day, usually big meals. Back on my normal diet and going to work on some shoulders today.

**Good workout. Love going heavy on front squats. After workout grabbed two double meat steak tacos from a local joint, awesome...**
double meat taco... now your talking!
Instead of doing 40-45 minutes on the bike, trying hitting the treadmill for some quality HIIT. Somewhat of 20:30 sprint:rest ratio. 20 seconds at sprint, stand on sides of the treadmill for 30 seconds, then sprint 20 seconds, etc for 10-15 minutes. Its KILLLLER! and by far my favorite cardio, you'll almost feel the need to spray and wipe down the treadmill belt because it will be drenched in your sweat. Hah.

Im a big fan of HIIT. I used to sled/tire work every week. However, with it being summer (really hot) and me trying to gain some weight, Im laying off the cardio. Im a skinny guy naturally and so me and cardio have a love/hate relationship. Gaining is hard, cutting is too easy.

My current gym are assh0les with that. They expect you to go through an orientation, sales pitch, and all this bullsh*t paperwork just to try the gym out.
However, we can go to Diesel Gym or Retro Fitness in North Brunswick for like $10 bucks. Ill check into it just to make sure because I havent done that in almost a year.
My friend and I have some equipment in crappy basement but its pretty sweet if youd want to train there. Free standing squat rack (no pins or cage), bench press, 2 barbells, EZ curl bar, 350 tire, a sled with cheap rope, 25lb dumbbells, mats for deadlifting, lots of chalk, boards for board pressing (1 board and 2 board), and 4 Elitefts mini bands.

MEAL 3 - Steamed Dumplings (pork/scallions).
MEAL 4 - 2 servings Syntha-6 Protein Powder in water.
MEAL 5 - 1 Hamburger Pattie, side of baked beans, baby carrots, cucumbers.

Back to school so trying to get my schedule right with diet/training/work/school. Throwing around a lot of ideas on how I want to set up my training with a crazy schedule. Not quite sure yet. Contemplating Westside inspired bodybuilding routine, Max-OT, or a Dave Draper inspired workout.
Hit an upper workout yesterday where I worked up to 205x5 (1 second pause) on floor presses then did rows, presses, light beach work.
Today hit a lower workout where I worked up to 225x5 on my box squat (below parallel, 1 second pause) and did some light accessory work (rdls, leg curls, leg extensions).
Just saying, this site motivates me so much more than bodybuilding.com ever has. The members on this site are great. Really helpful, driven individuals, with different opinions on training/dieting but with such respect and openness. This truely is a hardcore forum and I would like to thank AnimalPak and the FORVM for just being damn awesome.

nice, i swear a class in gym etiquette should be mandatory.
I take a while working on chest when benching but normally because I do a lot of sets, did you ask to work in? I generally allow people who lift within 20lbs of what I'm working with jump in for alternating sets.
Nice workouts keep it up.

It was a few big benchers, pushing 4 plates for reps. I admired thier strength, but taking 5-10 minute breaks on both flat benches was annoying. I get the idea of doing a heavy set than a lighter set but come on! Those guys I make it a point not to talk to, very talkative, on thier phones, never re-racking weights, grunting loud on every set, cursing loudly, just overall a$$holes IMO. They benched through my entire workout.

I think this should be mandatory for all gyms, i went during lunch and there were DBs and bars filled up on the floor and in the racks, total mess, so i cleaned up inbetween sets, extrx grib workout i guess.

I can understand you being pissed then that sucks man, luckily the only thing I have in common with them is that I lift more than most people at my gym, then again most people at my gym lift peanuts. The phone BS is outrageous if they are on the phone just walk over and start racking weight/adjusting the bar. When they ask why tell them to get off their phone and do work or leave because if you need more than 1min between sets its probably too much weight.
im normally the first one in my gym on the weekends... and the first thing i end up doing is cleaning up peoples mess from the night before. never fails.

Compared to that mishap with the benches last workout, I went to the gym so pumped and ready. Had a great workout, even bullshitted a bit with some guys who were doing shrugs next to me rack pulling. I either pull sumo or a hybrid stance (short arms, small body frame make regular deads very uncomfortable) so they were like wtf are you doing?

**Good workout. Was happy to start benching again, didnt want to go too heavy so kept it relatively light.**
On a more important note, I was selected to be an alpha tester for Agent O. Im super psyched. Im getting my wisdom teeth pulled relatively soon so hopefully that wont interfer. Already plan on keeping my cals up with some home mass shakes made with protein powder, bananas, peanut butter, olive oil, yogurt, eggs, and whatever else I feel like.

Hit the gym to do some light cardio (20 minutes), calf work, some light abs, and stretching. Nothing crazy, just enough to get a really good burn in my calves.
Also, I do not like the new Forvm set up as much as the old one :(

Exactly. The members, the appearance, the look, everything attracted me to the Forvm. Maybe itll grow on us. I know a few forums I used to belong to allowed for its members to either use the classic set up or the new set ups. Maybe the Mods will get on something like that. I would love the option to go back to the old way. Simple doesent mean bad.

8 lbs lean? You got that bro, judging by your workouts that should not be a problem, especially if you keep your motivation/dedication up. Im tryin to pack on as much as I can by spring. Aiming to hit 200lbs by April, then cutting down to decently lean for spring/summer. Thats the goal for me. Im currently weighing about 185/190.

My friend and I were outside having a beer and we heard rustling in the back of my house. The guy was back there, so I told him to come over and that we werent cops. When he came over, grabbed him in a rear naked choke and took him to the ground as my friend went and got the cops. Pretty eventful and since then just feeling pumped up!*

Strong work brotha. With those side laterals do you do one side at a time?

Strong work brotha. With those side laterals do you do one side at a time?
I switch it up. Sometimes Ill do the entire set one way or split it up, do 5 reps both arms at the same time, then do one at a time. I really try to focus on the muscle rather than going through the motions. Im always second guessing my form on them too, Ive seen so many variations on it.
I put a slight bend in my elbow and lift till my arm is parallel with the ground, I keep the slight bend the entire time and do not have any movement in the elbow. Almost like this... (18 seconds)

Gotchya. Im pretty much the same way, switching it up. I primarily do one arm tho. Its an exercise I feel I can cheat a little bit, and have reaped the results of doing so. Heavier weights stimulate more growth!
