Started doing my meso 3 this week. This is all about the pump. I’ve got really good weights and form this time, so the pumps are amazing. I want to especially sing the praises of barbell face pulls. Holy shit, I think I get the best rear delt contraction I’ve ever gotten from these suckers. Definitely gonna make these a staple going forward for my rear delts!

 

[Rusty]

Gonna have to try those out. Tear delts often get neglected by many.

My rear delts are sore right now and I couldn’t think of why it was leg day and chest yesterday. Just realized with new bar I actually have to pull back shoulders to
Keep back tight instead of just being forced so they are getting work on squats im hitting them with biceps to
Tomorrow will give barbell face pulls a try

Had a rocky week last week but back it hard! These workouts are all super short rest, high reps. Peak week is up next!

@Poppy Yeh I had a bit of a rebound in my weight. App is putting me back on a diet for a bit to take off the bounce. Shouldn’t take long to get it off, just need to focus on eating well and cut out some of the junk.

 

[Poppy]

I hear ya brother. The struggle is real! I was at youngest granddaughters 4yo bday party and abstained from ALL goodies…

 

[Dirtnasty]

I’m downing a honey bun about to order Lantus just I can eat more and gain weight the struggle
Goes both ways like something else round these parts haha

 

[Poppy]

You hanging tight

 

[anabolic_geek]

Yuuup. Made a mistake when I read my spreadsheet. Peak week is next week lol. But yes still soldiering on and lurking as you can see. I check in on you guys every day, I just don’t always have time to comment.

 

[Poppy]

Yo!

Hi! Finishing up my peak week. I guess I can share last weeks workouts since you really wanna know.

I wanna call out the abs exercises in particular too this meso: I really feel like I get a lot more out of including more variety in my ab movements and using these less challenging movements. The hanging knee raises were not scaling well.

Backing off the weights on my front delt exercises is really helping with the pump. I’m also widening up my pressing width a bit and that seems to help too.

Compliance has been not great and body weight is on a slow upswing. Resolved yesterday to tamp this down actually. Gotta slip back into partial diet mode for a few weeks until things cool down and app raises calories back up.

since you really wanna know

Us old people are like kids…we won’t be ignored and will just get louder. Hahaha

I refer others to your log.

@Poppy Not much else to report on lately — this last week of the meso is brutal in the gym and I love it. That said, not looking forward to Saturday

Oh and I talked to coach yesterday and we decided on a maintenance protocol:

1000mg Metformin/day
100mg mast/wk
100mg bold/wk
100mg test/wk
0.2-0.4mL SomaLong/wk

That’s gonna kick in here in about a week and a half when I start my recovery meso. Maintenance will last 13 weeks from there before next blast.

Last week of the meso is in the can. Phew! Now it’s a deload week followed by 3 weeks of resensitization.

It’s a deload week. Missed Saturday but I’m not sweating it. Next meso is 2 weeks of low intensity strength work followed by another deload.

 

[Rusty]

That’s life brother. Miss a day here and there. Either make up for it on next rest day cause it was a rest day or just move on.

Don’t think I haven’t noticed the unusually long periods between your posts….
