Logging workouts is a hassle.
I’m working out like always, but I’ve fallen behind logging the workouts. My workouts are usually 40 sets or more so it takes forever to record them. Lately, logging the workouts just hasn’t been a priority. I logged a few tonight, and I’ll try to get caught up again within a couple days. I don’t understand how so many of you just do 20 set or 18 set workouts. What the hell is that? THAT’S a workout??? WTF?!
My weight room was closed for three days so they could move the machines around and make the weight room "better". Since the weight room was gonna be closed, I decided to get in one hell of a workout the night before they closed so I could heal during the three off days. I worked out for about two and a half hours completing 68 sets. I believe that’s the most sets I’ve ever done in one workout.
My estimated bicep curl one rep max is still around 130 lbs. My bodyfat is still around 11-12 %. I’ve gained several pounds(mostly muscle). My arms are 15 inches now (growing). Lats are noticeably thicker too. I feel like I’m on the verge of increasing my bicep curl one rep max (along with other lifts). . . . I can feel it getting closer. I’m trying to really hit my triceps and further develop that horseshoe shape. It’s there now, but it could be better. It’s hard to get my abs as tight as I’d like because the skin’s just a little saggy. (I was pudgy/fat before) I’m patient and I’ll give it years before I get upset or anything. I can wait. As long as I’m making progress, it’s all gooooood.
All for now.

I would have to disagree w/40 or more set workouts. Even the PROS don’t do that man! There is this thing that people think "MORE" is better, and if you really look into the science of bodybuilding and how muscles react to stimulation, more is really BAD. I mean why do you have to so many sets? Are you not lifting heavy enough? Just curious is all.
Best of life,

I guess I’m of the mind set that if the high set workouts are doing the trick, why mess with success? You have put some significant size on your arms over the past couple months and that’s a good sign - while maintaining your bodyweight so we know your not just getting fatter (just the opposite in fact). However, I wonder, have you ever tried a lower set workout with fewer reps and fewer reps along with more rest in between? That is the usual recipe for mass building. Might be worth trying for a few weeks if you haven’t before. In any event, keep up the good work!
