Everything is going pretty well....im making big increases every workout and right now my numbers on pretty much everything are as good as they've ever been. So the next coming workouts I'll be entering uncharted territory on workloads so there should be some nice PRs heading my way!!
My weight has climbed a bit, but unfortunately I can't say it's all muscle. I'm hovering around 200 lbs now and while my condition and vascularity is still good, it's not my best. It's obvious I may have added a couple pounds of fat and/or water. I'm going to try and stay the course I'm on for at least another 4 weeks with my caloric intake and lack of cardio in favor of gains....them somewhere around mid January I'll be adding the cardio and dropping the cals to clean up and tighten up. For now I'm looking to jist get big and strong! I want that 4 plate bench I've been looking for to hit a new PR. My 1 rep max hit last cycle was 385 at a 192lb bodyweight. On Monday I hit 350 for 4 very easily, and I'm getting stronger every workout. Stay tuned!!
This herniated and bulging disc in my back makes some progression very hard, but I do what i can. My lower body I feel is lacking because I can't do any variation of squat or deadlift. My back is actually very dense and thick but I feel I'm genetically blessed there which helps. No deadlifts, bent over rows, tbar rows etc kinda sucks.
