Tempo Tempo Tempo On muscles like your lateral delts, getting the most direct time under tension is crucial. One approach is to beat your shoulders to death with set after set of regular rep after regular rep, put quite a bit of wear and tear on the quite delicate shoulders, and eventually develop an injury OR use isometric pauses (a pause of the peak of the muscle contraction) and slow eccentrics. Time under tension is CRITICAL for muscle growth. Time under tension can be made up of only dozens and dozens of traditional reps or you can util...

Want big pecs? Want to get better at staying tight on bench? Give these a try. Do 5 reps with a 5 sec eccentric on incline then immediately do 5 reps with the 5 sec eccentric on flat. Focus on squeezing the pecs at lockout, during the eccentric, and when pressing. Control and actively squeezing your upper body during the entire exercises are key. Do not sacrifice these things to try to move heavier weight.

New progress pics coming next week. I think every 2 weeks will be a good amount of time in between to see some progress. Waiting to weigh myself as well. I think I’ll be lighter due to less water retention but who knows.

Back day was really good today. I’m starting to get some activation and scapular mobility on the left side that I’ve not had in a while.

This weeks deadlifts. I was going to use straps so I still had hand skin after but they just throw me off. My deads have never moved so good. I’m really excited about the efficiency and hip strength. Box squats have really helped build my hips/glutes.

I’ve been eating pretty clean recently, not really by choice. By not eating tons of food, much not clean, my Inflammation is way down. I thought I could destroy a few things from the pizza place last night but it was like Kasserine Pass.

Adding in 2 shakes a day. I’ve always been a big advocate of them but I’ve had trouble drinking them lately until last few days. An extra 100g of protein a day, what will happen?

This was not fun. I’m hoping it will be with some more practice. My cardio is god awful right now and I hate that. I can not recommend “strongman” types exercises enough for not only strength training, but also cardiovascular health and conditioning.
