Approved Log My journey to a better life

[trespassing_minds]

Perfect way to mix things up and meditation is such a good way to relax.

It definitely helped having someone who practice meditation for a long time to walk and talk me through our process

I still struggled a lot not to fidget and move but did find sort of 1 to 2 min blocks my body and mind would stop..

Like everything practice makes perfect and always great to learn something new

$188 a year for a gym membership

That's crazy ... like $15 a month. I knew the Derrimut gyms were cheap but not that much.

You're training is next level @trespassing_minds really impressive. Progress photos are looking good as well. How are you tracking with the diet?

Nice mixed session overall but a few tweaks could maximise it. For the incline chest press, great progression but always aim to control the tempo on the heavier sets for better muscle activation. On rows focus on a full stretch at the bottom and a strong squeeze at the top to hit your back more effectively.

For tricep pulldowns, 50kg is strong but drop the weight slightly if form is breaking to keep the range full. Cable raises are good for delts, but try slowing down the reps or adding a pause at the top to really engage the muscles. Rear delts, just make sure you’re not using momentum to finish those sets.

Yeah they have increased it a bit this year for 12 months up front its around 240 I think now.

Diets is is still pretty good have increased from 1750 cal to 2200cal non training and 2400 on training. I do a 50% protein 25% fat 25% carb break down

Had prob had a few to many treats of late being xmas and Nye but back to reality now and time to knuckle down

Cheers, am a fan a slow controlled lifts. Occasionally I will increase the weight and you will see that in my workout and comment next to the weight. Often it will say felt slopy or to heavy.

If I can't move the weight slow and controlled or feel the form is being compromised to do it I have zero worries about dropping weights.

My cable shoulder exercises I love have become my favourite movement and add them to almost every sesh at the end. Nice long slow stretched movements for the burn

Very similiar to my morings minus the Var.

A little bit of feedback based on your goals to gain more size. I think you're doing more sets than necessary which can lead to fatigue and slow down recovery. E.g. for compound lifts like chest press and cable rows, aim for 4 -5 sets of 6-12 reps and for isolation movements like lateral raises or rear delts, 3 - 4 sets of 8-15 reps is plenty. Focus on controlled reps with good form, especially on heavier lifts, this way you can maximise muscle engagement and avoid burnout.

I normally do for my bigger movements
2 warm up sets 3 to 4 working occasionally like my chest press today if I have moved weight up and feels no good I will record the set and drop weight to add another

My cable shoulder I train each non leg workout so normal get 2 to 3 times week so I stick with 3 sets as they are at the end of workout have found since adding higher rep 10 to 15kg lower weight and doing them couple times week they have developed much more then when I was doing machine flys with heavier weights

But think you for the advice. My growing I think will also come a little more down to my food intake as I had just completed may to November 24 calories restrictions of 1750 per day

 

[musclemaniac]

Keep up the good work @trespassing_minds

Your approach is very well calculated and recording each of your training sessions is perfect. The only real way to grow is to increase those calories. The challenge will be to keep them clean

Yeah have moved from my rather aggressive 1750cal per day to 2200 non gym day and 2400 on gym day

Keeping the same 50% protein 25% fat 25% carb which my body seems to like

Keeping with whole home cooked foods as much as I can unless I am travelling for work which then just make smart protien choices at restaurants.

But thank you so much for your support.

It's the hardest when you're travelling. I try to go for the pokie bowls and grilled chicken.

Do you find the pre-workout loses it effects after a while? I like to give it a break for a few days then start again. When I take it everyday, I never get that same rush.
