Monster Ballin’

Not getting in a deadlift session last week, courtesy of Lady Gaga. NO REGRETS. Shit rocked my world.

Concert 1: Mika in Chicago

Concert 2: Lady Gaga in Milwaukee

Life is good. One awesome free-for-me concert a year is an awesome trend to have gotten started. I hope it continues!

But I am behind on posting my workouts so I’ll post last-week’s bench workout.

I’m going to alternate chinning and rowing on this third exercise for my benching days. Just getting tired of chinning.

I’m going to cease doing depletion workouts until I have an event to do them for, they’re just such a crappy waste of time.

I won’t cease post-workout cardio, however. I may come into the gym more often to do cardio as the days get colder. I hate doing cardio but since I’ve bought all this yohimbine anyway and I’ll be getting back into fasting soon… might as well.

Body Weight: 175.5lbs
Body Fat Percentage: 19.1%

Start Time: 10:10AM
End Time: 12:22PM

I’ve been eating a lot. If my BF% next week is above 20% I’m going to do deadlifts and immediately get back onto a strict fasting schedule.

But if it’s still around 19% I’m going to just shrug off the missed workout, hit the bench, and keep gaining strength like a madman until I hit 20%. If I can stay sub-20% as I gain strength, I’m going to keep gaining until I hit a 315lbs. deadlift before I start cutting.

CUT CONDITIONS:

1. 20%+ bodyfat
2. 315lbs. deadlift

If I wasn’t afraid of getting too fat, I’d bulk all the way to 155lbs. lean mass and try to conserve that while shedding fat.
