Just poking my head in to say hello and give a status report.
I won't be on fatsecret at all this weekend, nor will I be following my normal daily routine when it comes to my diet.
I'm off to the white mountains for 3 days. My wife's best friend is getting married, so we are going up for that as well as some much needed R&R from the crazy life that we have been living over the past year. Work-eat-gym-sleep repeat. Day after day after day.
I say that I'm getting away from it, but I decided that the very expensive inn that we are staying at all weekend is worth it for two reasons:
1. Jacuzzi hot tub in every room 2. Private gym fully stocked with all the benches, racks, barbells, and dumbbells that I will need to STILL do my workouts- am I sick or what?
I promise I will remain mindful of what goes into my mouth still, but I won't be counting calories or macros for 3 days, I'm on a clean bulk right now anyway, so the calories dont matter too much.
Current workout routine for those interested:
Day 1 Chest: Incline bench Press (2-warmup sets), 5x8 Decline bench press 5x8 Incline Dumbbell Fly 3x10-12 Dips 3x20
Day 2 Legs: Barbell Squat (2-warmup sets), 5x8 Leg Press 5x8 Leg curl 3x10-12 leg extension 3x10-12 barbell lunges 3x20 Seated calf raise (Full pyramid of 120 reps)
Day 3 Active rest (cardio day)
Day 4 Shoulders: Barbell overhead press (2-warmup sets), 5x8 Side lateral raise 5x10-12 Front raise 5x10-12 cable face pulls 5x10-12
Day 5 Arms: Chin-ups 3x10 barbell curl 5x8-10 Preacher curl 5x8-10 standing Dumbell Curl 3x10-12 Tricep dips (vertical vice 45 degrees) 3x25 Skull crushers 5x8-10 Cable push-down 5x8-10 cable kickbacks 3x10-12
Day 6 back: Barbell deadlift (2-warmup sets), 5x5 Wide Lat pull-downs 5x8-10 Seated cable row 5x8-10 Machine row 3x10-12 pull-ups 3x10 Calf raise 2x50/10 (managable weight for first 50, heavy weight for last 10)

just enjoy it dude, we can't be on it all the time everytime, it makes us dull people. Sometimes a little vacation from the routine is just what the doctor ordered. We know how dedicated you are and you will be right back at it when you come back.

So true Alex. Gotta' deviate from the norm. We'll make ourselves crazy if we stay on the same path day in and day out.

If anyone has earned it, it's you Chad. By the way. You're right. I miss food. You're a monster with the lifting. Oh to be young. I'm doing 3 days a week 5 x 5. I just started it, but I can feel aches where I didn't feel them before. I'm spending the next half hour finishing my squat rack. Then... weigh in time.

Yeah NM, The Workout routine that I do keeps me sore somewhere on my body 7 days a week.... Each muscle group takes about 4 days to recover, and each group gets hit as a primary once per week and as a secondary once per week. Example: On chest day Triceps are the secondary, back day biceps and legs are the secondary etc. So BAsically I am sore all the time. By the time a mucle group fully recovers I am already working it as the primary again. It's been pretty effective so far, and I have come to enjoy the DOMS...because it indicates to me that I am indeed working the muscles as hard as intended. If I don't get DOMS from a workout then I work harder on the next one.

I know what your saying Chad. DOMS and I have really gotten to know one another in 2014. At first we just casually spent time together but in mid-May things started getting serious after I got the power rack. No more dating and flirting. We pretty much starting going steady after that. Overall I would rate my relationship with DOMS a 9 out of 10. It could be a 10 out of 10 if she would let me walk normally after squat day. :) Good job Chad, keep at it.
