You truly are pwning teh Nutty

 

[Chesticles]

Thanks for the comments guys. Turk, na mate not planning on any shows atm, possibly somewhere down the line. My diet hasn't been overly bad since my cut, but it's not perfect either. So the plan is to clean up my diet on Monday, finish tanning & shaving and start doing cardio for the week, then the week after get back into the gym. I'll see how much weight I put on over my break, then try to get down to 100 kgs, which was the goal last time. I'd dare say it might even be somewhere closer to the 95 kg mark though

But until then, I'll be at McDonalds

great set of sessions there man. I like the sound of using the calf-raise machine for shrugs ay - I'ma try dat. Those legs of yours are looking strong dude, lotta weight for ATG Squatting and those SLDLs aren't too shabby either!

 

[Chesticles]

Thanks bro

Officially back in the gym tomorrow, I did clean up my diet and started doing cardio all this week (didn't see the point in logging it though), and I'm pumped to get back to the iron. I'd say I'll be weak as piss, but my strength will return in due time. A mate of mine wants to start working out with me, he told me he wants to come down with me tomorrow, so we'll see how he goes (IF he goes that is) The split I'm thinking is:

Back/shoulders
Chest/arms
Legs

Boring I know, but I couldn't come up with anything else. As always, any suggestions are welcome fellas. We'll better get to bed, got a big day of lifting weights in the morn

 

[Rocky]

Good to see you back in here. Glad the diet is in check. Let's see some sessions. I'm sure that strength will be back in no time!

Back

All done. Took about an hour 15 to do. Right lower back played up a little on chins, it comes and goes. I was pleased with my efforts for being my first time back in 3 or 4 weeks. Going in for stretching/abs/cardio today.

 

[Hypocrisy86]

awesome work man, dont worry bout strength going away or returning
just stay focused on making those weights your bitches
aight? B?

BB shrugs looking flyyy man, your almost too legit to quit.

 

[MaKaVeLi]

I know how you feel with the strength loss on BB Row, I'm sure if we keep hitting that exercise the strength will eventually return. Dam your shrugs are awesome!
