Just entered the dungeon here and after my eyes adjusted to the dark, I shit my pants when I saw all this volume on presses. Who does that to themselves?

Something weird happened! Felt some pain in the outside left area of my left knee when performing the pigeon stretch. While Squatting the pain ran up into my lower, outer left glute and popped. The pain has subsided but I discovered I've been overstretching and static stretching before lifting is a bad idea. My mutant 242 lifter homie sent me a bunch of dynamic type of stuff I should be doing to loosen up. Evidently, static stretching prior to lifting just loosens the joints/tendons as opposed to being tight ready to rock!!! Interesting stuff. Squat University on IG and some of Donnie Thompson's stuff I'll be utilizing prior to training. Static stretching and things of that nature will be used for recovery purposes on non training days.
Still hammered the ole Wheels! Felt AWESOME! Was moving really quick until that incident listed above. Seems like lots of random things continue to happen on leg training days that make me drag out training. SICK OF IT! Need to move quicker and stop bullshitting. The legs are growing so that is what keeps me going! #ALLFODEMGAINZ
Pre-Workout:
Upper Band Stretching, Lower Static Stretching, Grid X Rolling & Lacrosse Ball Work
Sooooooooooo YEAH! Turns out all the Pressing on Shoulder training days my pecs, shoulders and triceps aren't recovering as quickly as they should. My pecs were tapping out much earlier than they normally do hitting Chest yesterday! I said I'd be listening to my body more and I will do just that.
Pump was sweeeeeeeeeeet! Felt good. Time to get my Bench Pressin back in order =)

P.S: Most likely resting up, may get the urge to get some cardio in. Have my daughters little recital this evening!!! Going to be so cute =)
Hit it hard yesterday! Felt good to see my Deadlift FINALLY moving!! Have had recurring injuries and pains that have stifled it for a bit. NO MORE! My back fried out when I got to pulldowns. Felt soooooooooo good to feel the muscles give out =)
Pre-Workout:
Squat U, Best Deadlift Warmup Routine
Hit it hard yesterday! Even got in some CARDIO! Yeah, that's RIGHT I SAID IT! Felt good. Been a lot going on lately so I got very drunk Friday (been a long time) and rested up Saturday so no training on those two days. Don't tell anyone =)

Squat U, The Best Shoulder Warmup and Rotator warmups
HAMMERED the ole GUNZ! Felt good. Had a STUPID pump! Pecs were still fried from all the Overhead Pressing yesterday. Barely could hold the weight over my face for Skullcrushers! Fun times and oh yeah, GAINZ YOU FAKKAHZ!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVING this cold crazy weather! Been rainy/drizzly/foggy all day, should be in South Texas! I bet we'd see some phantom bucks and the hogs would be out tooooooooooo!

Was a bit wore out but CRUSHED the ole Wheels regardless!!! Am exhausted today, haven't been sleeping well. Good news is final mediation got pushed up quite a bit!!!! Will all be over soon!
Anyways had a sweet Pump! Quads are coming along nicely, been trying to let my knees come more forward when Squatting and setting my feet lower on the plate on Leg Press. Also been pausing at the top and bottom on Sissy Squats and MAN it sets the Quads on fire as a finisher! Had some distractions and interruptions but FINALLY nothing was hurting while training legs.
Got the kiddos today for a bit! Will rest up. Not sure if I'll train Thursday, if I can get to bed early enough tonight and have no more sociopath ex-wife law related interruptions or other stupid shit that would be just swell =) perhaps I might get some sleep for a change!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pre-Workout:
Upper Band Stretching, Lower Static Stretching, Grid X Rolling & Lacrosse Ball Work
Pecs were still sore from all the Pressing on Shoulder day, need to seriously back off on so many Pressing movements on Shoulder day. Still got in some work! Pecs were nice and pumped. Switched it up and used the American Press Bar, similar to the Swiss Bar but the Swiss Bar is for Overhead Pressing to mimic a Log Press. The American Press Bar has thicker handles and seems to be more heavy duty. The pec stretch is intense because having the handles at a neutral setting on the bar and the bar being so flat, you get an increased range of motion! You know what that means.....GAINZ!!!!!!!!!
Am exhausted, not much sleep this week. Got the kiddos this weekend and WILL BE SURE to crash early, LOL! Next week will be interesting due to Christmas and my time with the kiddos, not sure if I'll rest up or not. If I decide to rest up next week, I'll hit this workout again next time I train. I HATE starting off a new three week wave on a sub par training day!!

P.S: Resting up and playing with the kiddos! Y'all enjoy your weekend!!!!
Had a blast with the kiddos this last weekend! My daughter had a bit of cold that I caught. She was tested earlier in the week for Covid and the results were negative, so no worries there =)
Looks like I'll be resting up! Have the kids again from Wed-Fri bringing them back to Mommy at either noon or two on Christmas Day. Will try to get some training in this coming weekend, unless we decide to head down to South Texas! We shall see.
STILL ALIVE! Hit one day of training on Christmas Day after I brought the kids back to my wife cause I was a bit pissed that I had to bring them back at noon. Besides that no training!
Have been busy with law related stuff. Final Mediation is Thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could all be over and I can get some sleep again =) On that note, not sure how training will work. Going to be a super busy week!
GET SOME,

P.S: Training to be determined, if I do train it will be Chest!
First training session of 2021! Wooooooooooooooooo! LOL! Anyways, solid pump! Pecs did fry out quick. Amazing how a bit of time off does that. Plus, I helped my parents move some heavy furniture last weekend and my pecs/delts were a bit sore. Go figure!
Despite being wore out, surprised I even got this in! Only got in 10 minutes of cardio after lifting, but figure I'll break in slowly and not overtrain as I'm known to do =) Not sure if I'll train today, have a bunch of law stuff this afternoon. You know, every time I say that I always end up training, LOL!!!!!!!! GAINZ!!!!!!!! Gainz are just too fun I tells ya!

Training to resume today! Mediation got pushed to a later date, I was furious but my ex is a sociopath and alcoholic so it was no surprise. Even her lawyer is getting fed up with her, LOL!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Frickin K I L L E D I T yesterday! Had a blast training! Blared loud thrash metal and was screaming and going nuts at times!! Even though I was exhausted, I still was able to push it and have an awesome training session. Pump was sweet and everything was hurting =)
This session seems random but it popped into my head! Didn't want to overdue the Deadlift training, simply because the last time I did I tweaked multiple muscles LOL!!!!! Going to be smarter regarding training and after seeing what I post below, y'all will probably say I'm out of my gourd again =)
*Will train Saturday, and am seeing my chiro today to get rid of some minor nagging pains. Going to get TONS of rest! Really haven't been sleeping well the last 2-3 weeks (a LOT going on, don't ask!). Hoping to rest up and not do shit but eat, train/cardio, drink some beers, smoke some cigars, sleep and relax.
Hit up some late night Shoulders, Saturday night! Drank a bunch Friday (long ass crazy week) and was draggin a bit Saturday. Still having trouble sleeping! I just pray once this is done my sleep will no longer be uninterrupted. Didn't drink a wink Saturday and my sleep was still interrupted.
Pump was sweet! Shoulders have been sore, been a while! Feels great. Wanting to focus on getting my Seated Military Press strength up. Glad I have a few different bars I can use too! GAINZ shall cometh and it'll help my Bench tooooooo! Who honestly doesn't want that? Chicks dig a big Bench and big Pecs, it's just a FACT!!!! GAINZ.
Pre-Workout:
Squat U, Best Shoulder Warmup, Rotator work and Band Pullaparts
Forgot to post this yesterday! Kickass GUNZ training session! Pump was sweet! My triceps died out with the DB Overhead Extension. You know what that means, right? GAINZ!!!!!!!! Went nuts too, been taking in tons of caffeine lately because sleep has not been good for a long time and it's really starting to catch up with me.
Pre-Workout:
Squat U, Best Shoulder Warmup, Rotator work and Band Pullaparts
Gave the Wheels a good ole THRASHING!!!!!!!!! Felt awesome! Nothing like a hard hitting Leg Day! Had a killer pump. The Rackable Cambered Bar is a real bastard! It's unstable/wobbly and just hammers the erectors/low back and lower abs! Fun to switch up bars each three week wave, but that first week with a new bar is almost shocking each time. Makes training fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!
Going to save GM's and or any other hamstring/glute focused movements for Back days to compliment the Deadlifts. Again, trying to be smarter with my training =) Notice I said SMARTER not less crazy =) =) But ya never know.....that's why y'all follow my thread!!!!!
*I've also started performing Sissy Squats and Calf movements in a more slow and controlled fashion; otherwise, too much weight is being used =) So much GAINZ so lil time!
