Haha you might not have a light day. I don't think you do in fact. It was just a thought. I have them fairly frequently now because I'm injured & lazy. :) Down the road you might need to take it easy for a week if you have to deload or need to give yourself a break.

He's on the SS strength program. Its pretty much ballz out everyday. lol

What I meant is that AT FIRST you may not notice a lot of muscle growth because your primary strength improvements will come from adaptations in the nervous system. Basically you body learning to RECRUIT the muscle you already have quicker and more efficiently. I was not saying you wouldn't get growth just not to expect it, necessarily, right off the bat.

^^ This is very true. If your body isn't used to lifting heavy then it basically just takes practice to get 100% of your body working in the same direction to lift the weight.

That's why I tell people that pretty much no matter what they do when they first learn a lift..as long as it's good quality...they will be "stronger" the next time.

Yup, I'm definitely feeling stronger..
I'm not KILLING myself out there, though, as I don't want to get stuck, and my form gets bad (well, badDER.. lol) when I try to push it.. I'm going to add some weight to my chin-ups, next time I do them, and try to progress them that way, as I'm stuck at 10, and my next reps are less and less.. |

Had pizza against my will.. :( Wife vetoed my steak and salad plan.. Was lousy pizza, too.. Oh well, I've been eating clean for weeks, so one cheat meal won't kill me.. PreWO shake 30g of Whey, 70g of waxy maize, 2.5g of Creatine, some walnuts. WORKOUT A No warm-up, really.. Just some stretches and some jumping jacks.. SQUAT NWx10x1 50x10x1 50x7x1 120x5x4 (last WO was 110) Last rep on 3rd set was crappy, so did one more set. BENCH PRESS 50x10x2 120x5x2 120x4x1 100x4x1 Dunno what happened, but couldn't get my last rep out on my last set for love or money.. Arched my back trying, and of course put it into spasms (still tender today).. Tried doing a backdown set and couldn't even do a full set of those.. I WAS in a bit of a hurry.. More time between sets needed? Hope I'm not stuck.. :( ROW NWx10x1 30x10x1 70x8x3 Back was bad for this one, so I didn't do much weight.. Should have done pull-ups instead, maybe? FRONT AND SIDE PLANKS 30sec PWO shake 30g of Whey, 70g of waxy maize, 2.5g of Creatine, some walnuts. PWO Meal Banana, 30g whey, milk, 1 tbsp of PB Pizza about an hour after this.. Really crappy pizza.. >:( |

Weight after b.f. and b.m. = 211lbs. Pre WO shake 2 bananas, 30g of whey protein powder, milk, 2.5g Creatine. Workout A 10 minute run front plank SPLIT SQUATS NWx10x1 50x10x3 (was 40) BOSU PUSH-UPS x25x12x12 (was 22,10,10) DEADLIFT 90x5x2 140x5x1 (was 130) Form probably still sucks, but it felt good.. Thought back might still be an issue, but no deficits, there.. Probably helped that my lower back was all pumped from the plank and the push-ups.. FACE PULLS "7"x10x4 FRONT AND SIDE PLANKS x30sec. CRUNCHES 15x3 Post WO shake 30g whey, 70g waxy maize, 2.5g Creatine Post WO Meal Steak stir fry |
So long as you have carbs at a meal or two before your workout, you won't necessarily need to supplement with carbs in your PrWO shake.
