so for what it is worth I had not lifted heavy for 4 or so weeks…I was focusing more on higher rep metabolic shit…cuz it turns me on. Tonight I decided to go do some heavy crap for kicks and giggles.

Rack Pulls below the knee 4x some sort of rep scheme
135 x10
190×10
280×8
320×4 I tried for 5, I should have let it sit for 5 seconds and tried that 5th pull but meh

Incline DB Press for an imaginary predetermined rep scheme
35×12
45×10
50×8 I did not even need a friggen spot for this at ALL

Bent Over Rows again a pretend set of reps
100×10
120×8
120×8

Pec Deck
75×12
85×8
90×5

Ok so I was pretty excited I am still respectable in the weight room. These 2 heavy lifters watched me I guess for the entire rack pulls. When I did my last set the bigger one ( he says he is a power lifter..I am working on convincing him he actually has to do more than bench mofo heavy to claim that) asked me if I got the lift and I was all..uh, yeah 4x thanks. His buddy is the behind the head lat pull down guy who asked me if I was sure I was able to spot him last week when i offered to help him when he was benching.

I need the t shirt that says "You don’t have to be ugly to be strong" because this is just bull shit behaviour!

Tomorrow is back to metabolic games!

eats are nailed down. Workouts are hard as hell….what else can I ask for right? Well I will ask for the ability to do this week after week with as much fervor LOL I know my own pattern and I need to defeat it!

You know I was having a conversation with a client last night about adding muscle and noticing it. We were talking about how others will comment on the muscle gain etc but we still see ourselves from our starting points.

I know for myself I wanted bigger quads for a while now. I have recently taken stock in the fact I HAVE added 3 " to my quads. WTF….I was still so focused on "big quads" and being envious of people like Kim Lyons who has meaty legs…..until I looked at my own in a logical way. I now do have the thighs I wanted and need to appreciate the time it took to get them (18 mos)

I also know we all do that when we are losing fat. We feel like we have made little to NO progress until we take a picture and see the difference. For myself I look MUCH leaner in pictures than I do when I look in the mirror or at my body parts individually.

It is a long slow process, this body transformation thing…and it is always progressing and evolving…I do not think we are ever really "done" do you?
