My journey to Beast Mode

Did my 3rd upper body workout of GLP 1 today

Workout
Bench Press
100x10
130x8
145x6
155x6
165x4
175x4
EDT 1- 79 reps in 15 mins
Incline DB Bench -55lbs
1arm DB row-75lbs
EDT 2- 72 reps in 12 mins
DB shoulder press- 45lbs
BB shrugs- 275lbs
1 burnout set on Incline db curls
10 mins of LISS

Notes:
Good workout. I used my free sample of BIU today. Great, clean, energy. Alot cleaner and sustainable than anadraulic state. Liked it so much that I ordered a bottle of it today, along with another bottle of KA. Hopefully keeping my diet the same, but adding in BIU and cardio will allow me to put on more clean mass without as much fat. The fat wasn't totally unexpected given the holidays. Weighed in at 172 and 17.5% today

. On another note, I have exploded since I started this BP run, despite the weight and bf. My arms are alot fuller along with my shoulders. I actually have traps now too

. If I could execute a flawless recomp I would look great despite being so light. I know it may be a tall order, but I'm driven, I can tell you that. Along with all of my other posts, any and all critiquing is welcomed.

Soooo happy BIU is doing ya right! This is yet another category killer from MASS. For more info on that, see this thread!

Finished my lower 4th lower body workout of GLP 1 about half an hour ago.

Workout
Box Squat
125x10
185x8
200x6
215x4
230x2
250x2
SLDL
225x8
EDT- 80 reps in 7:44
Leg Extension-225lbs
Leg Curls-100lbs each leg

Notes: Really good workout. Was running short on time though, so I didn't do calves or abs. I have been hitting them pretty hard, so an extra day off won't be a bad thing.

Great work!

Looks like you nailed everything. Watch your frequency now, meaning insert and extra rest day if you feel the need. It all comes together nicely on PR day...

Sadly I won't be able to do my 5th upper body workout of my glp 1 tomorrow. Came down with a little bout of the flu. Any tips to not let this affect me rob? I'm mega dosing emergen-c at 1 packet every hour to an hour and a half. On antibiotics, breathing treaments, keeping my room insanely hot, etc, etc. Trying to nip this in the bud asap. Naturally, I won't be doing anything until I'm 100%. Please, if you are sick, do not go to work. I am 99% sure this is how I came down with it. Had to work with a girl who came to work with strep. Really?

Right there with you this morning. 2 grams of Vit C every 2 hours is what I'm doing. I feel like I got hit by a train....

Achy, headache, with a slight cough?

RobRegish · Post by **RobRegish** » Thu Jan 06, 2011 6:02 pm

Yeah, 12 hours and 12g of Vit C later though, feeling much better...

Two grams every two hours is my standard recommendation. And no, I don't have any studies to back it up but it works for me EVERY time.

Amazing..

Good news and bad news. After 3 days of being under the weather I went to the doctor today. Good news is I figured out what I have, and I'm on a round of antibiotics, along with alot of other things. Bad news is it wasn't a minor cold. I have a case of acute bronchitis AND a sinus infection. I'm feeling alot better with antibiotics in me and knowing what I have, but I'm just wondering when I get back into the gym is it business as usual, or is there some sort of bridge workout I need to do to get back on track.

Man that sucks, especially at this point. Tell you what, pick up at workout #5, the de-load. Provided that feels easy (and it should), you can proceed.

If you're struggling through it, I'll come up with another solution
