Yeah, I did come off a little harsh there but you know if you want to gain you'll have to eat more. I'm in a pretty similar boat, and forcing myself to eat more has made a massive difference to my energy levels and general outlook on life.

today is off day which is good because I can barely walk. my gains have been really good I think, I just started my third complete week and my lifts have increased ~10lbs/week. I'm expecting it to slow down, yesterday was actually pretty difficult, we'll see how tomorrow goes. still waiting on my gainer.

breakfast/lunch is a hodgepodge of whatever was in my house because my usual foods (yogurt/chicken salad) are out.

Food:

ICE CREAM SANDWHICH
plum
dried cranberries

It's 12:40 and I already have probably 2500 calories down

I kinda just shot past my first milestone which was 135 which is pretty cool! Never surfing before a workout again (is what I said last time), I feel like I've thrown away a week of gains because I have to wait until Monday till I can do this workout again which sucks

Also gently caress smoking the day before a workout, increased appetite is cool but I always feel like I'm in a daze the day after, my concentration wasn't where it should have been.

Fuuuuuck. Surfing today, one of my best days turned into one of my worst days when one of my fins not only ripped out of the socket but also ripped out the socket itself.



I guess I can fill in the hole and have a "real" fish or get it repaired I guess but honestly this board keeps getting dinged/hosed up and it's pretty frustrating how fragile it is, I might look for a sturdier used one or something.

We're moving today and I guess that means we can't have any real food in the house so I'm just chowing down on snacks and stuff and gainer stirred with milk because the blender is packed

The key to building disgustingly massive shoulders is to have real good form and actually isolate the muscle instead of getting other random poo poo into it.

Seriously do not give a gently caress about what you can lateral raise, just make sure you can feel the pump. I use 15's and 10's for delts, after heavy DB press, usually.

Okay , cheers bro.

Did arms/chest today since I'm going to be at my Uni's orientation Monday-Wednesday and I'll do legs on Wednesday. Bench stuff was kinda weak I think because I was sore/not recovered in my triceps. Saw large gains in curl though. Decreased cable crunch because I wanted to make sure my form is good, I think I might start adding those in on either Thursday or Friday.

I usually feel like I have a little bit "left in the tank" after arms day and I could get rid of it doing higher numbers of reps at lower weight(though definitely no reps at working weight) but I dunno if that would even help. Maybe I'll give it a go next time.

Weighed today, 134, nothing like self hatred to motivate you to work out. It was probably because of the weekend and stuff but I'm still pretty pissed, I'm eating till I feel sick and the entire concept of food is disgusting to me now. Nothing sounds good anymore ever, hopefully this is just a phase. I don't even think its possible to make my toxx with this setback but I'm still gonna work loving hard.

This really applies to any muscle. The closer to perfect the form is the better. Eventually you develop a connection between your mind and muscle so you can feel the contraction in the targeted muscle and ensure that you're not involving other muscles. Often times with raises people use momentum and trap involvement in order to throw around weights they really shouldn't be using.

This obviously doesn't mean pussy out and not increase weight when you can.

Have shoulders later today, hopefully I will be fine after the surf.

Edit: nope! Ugh. I always tell myself I'll be fine but I really need to be fresh and have like a good amount of sleep in between surfing and any arms lifting. Didn't have my phone to track lifts so just "did whatever" for triceps and shoulders. Decided smith machine sucks for seated military press, I should do it standing.

Got bored and pulled 185 on the trap bar today to see what my working weight should be, decided that it went up too easy and that I'd shoot for 225. I couldn't do it(or was afraid to go 100% on it idk which) but I feel like I'm pretty close to doing it and maybe could on a good day. I'd try tomorrow but I'm doing deadlifts
