A day in the life of me

[Ironside]

Thanks man

 

[Ironside]

Man my calves are on fire today. I added another inch to my calf raise platform yesterday and the added stretch alongside the added weight really destroyed them. Feels good to finally have found something that just might work to grow these little things

 

[Ironside]

Damn I really need to get back on the ball with my log. Shit has been stupid. Work slowed down a lot and I’ve been picking up side jobs in a different state to make ends meet. The wife’s car just went into the shop with about a $600 repair bill too. And to top it off I still need to be able to snatch up some more items for me next run.

Still smashing food and work outs though so I feel good about that.

Today’s workout

Deadlift
Incline Bench
Chin Ups
Lying Tricep Press
Barbell Curls
Calf Raises

 

[Ironside]

Not even noon and smashed 3 meals and a work out already. I don’t like not having work but in the same sense it’s nice to get in my stuff early.

Did something a little different today.

Sold old school German 10x10!

Decline Bench
Barbell Curl
Overhead kettlebell tricep extensions
Hammer Curls
Standing Military Press

Fuck yeah. 500 total reps.

All these guys/gals that have a hard time pushing themselves after a cycle or when not “on” I feel bad for them that they need the crutch.

“IF YOU’RE NOT FAILING, YOU’RE NOT EVEN TRYING”

 

[Stirms]

Damn bro, volume training is no joke. Hope you are taking plenty of bcaa’s.

 

[Ironside]

Funny you should mention that. I drink 2 BCAA/Karbolyn drinks when I train like that. I was getting in the mode to run slin but decided against it so I already have everything on hand for these types of drinks. The drinks are still great for that style of training and I use them intraworkout and post workout.

 

[Raphael3636]

Intra are great even with out slin, especially the Karbolyn hands down my favorite carb supp.

 

[Stirms]

Yeah you have to have something like that or you are literally screwed. I’m doing 5*20’s on some of my lifts now. I drink during and post bcaa,s. GVT I tried years ago for a few months and learned the hard way you had to pound the supps to recover.

 

[Stirms]

I’m going to check the karbolyn out. I’ve not heard of that.

 

[Ironside]

It’s my favorite. I use both the fuel and the hydrate combined.

 

[Ironside]

Lmao. So I’m at the gym training a client of mine and I’m teaching her proper form on lateral shoulder raises. I show her first, which is right in front of another guy working shoulders. I know I’m talking loud enough that he can hear me. My client begins to do the lifts and I’m helping to fix and isolate her form while explaining what she was doing wrong and why. Here is this guy next to us doing the exact same things I was just explaining NOT to do.

Just a funny haha of the crap I see

 

[John]

Your my buddy, but that didn’t even make me smile.

 

[Ironside]

You had to see this guy. He looked like he was a bird trying to learn how to fly out of the nest

 

[John]

There we go, I smiled and chuckled.

 

[Ironside]

Glad I could be here to entertain you.

You were a terminal Lance weren’t you lmao

 

[John]

Would you believe me if I said I got meritorious Corporal, but got lazy after that point

 

[Ironside]

I could believe that.

I got meritorious lance then busted down to pfc then meritorious corporal, then sergeant all in 8 years lol

 

[John]

Ha ha shit, that sounds like a lot of work and fucking fun in 8 years

 

[Ironside]

Bro it was awesome and sucked ass at the same time. I could have been a Staff Sergeant in 8 if I didn’t fuck myself with a DUI. Oh well that time has passed and I’m just a salty veteran with some things we did. You know.

 

[Islandswole]

Man, it’s insane the amount of people who incorrectly do lateral raises
