Line - "We Can Rebuild Him"

[Line]

I'm baccckkkkkk...

I took my last two weeks of summer off from training because my job was getting too stressful from both a physical and mental standpoint so I decided to let me body completely recover. I feel great physically and ate very properly yesterday and technically started my bulk-training today.

Let me tell you this, I'm eating a ton of good calories and trying to keep the bad to a minimum. Yesterday I was probably sitting in the low 190's and I can guarentee you that within a few weeks I'll easily be sitting over 2 again and it's all gravy from there.

I took it easy on myself because I'm getting back into training but once my training partner arrives later in the week I seriously plan on leaving him dead on the gym floor. Hope you enjoy today's session:

I stretched well after finishing each individual body part and then went on to start training abs with a giant set of:

-Bicycle Crunches x 20 reps
-Lying Stiff Legged Raises x 15 reps
-Oblique Crunches x 15 reps

...however, after one set my abs started to cramp up and I figured it'd be best if I ended things there. Overally I felt great after my workout and it's good to be back in the gym. My strength was alright and will return soon (especially with the shitload of food I'm eating) and soon you'll also see a big increase in volume as well after I settle in.

Sorry I haven't been around to everyone's log, I promise I'll do my best to get there now that I'm back at school and have time. Take care everyone.

shit man I've been gone from the forum for two weeks I'm glad I havent missed anything from you. Still strong man, and that strength will come back in no time. Good luck with the bulk man, theres a few of us starting to bulk all around the same time now. Palmetto, you, and Me, this will be interesting, cant wait to see some awesome results from you big man, cant wait to see some hell blazing sessions.

......... once my training partner arrives later in the week I seriously plan on leaving him dead on the gym floor.

Wild sex???




Jk, good to know ur back man, best of luck with the training.

BTW those red and blue colors in your post have to go, look pretty

 

[MexicanMuscle]

hell yeah Debate Master Line is back in action. great session man, big numbers as always. ur db incline is huge man.

 

[Chesticles]

yeah buddy got up the 100lbs for reps! Nice work

 

[FOOTBALL FAN]

good session Line mate have fun back at school

 

[CJU]

those incline presses are huge 0.0 almost as much weight for as much reps as your flat bench....wtf? sorry bro, but you can't call that a "getting back into things" workout, that was a heavy session.

 

[Line]

Tweak - Yeah brother, I know there's a bunch of us cool guys who are bulking right now, so we should have a bulking contest

Also, it's scary to think this could be my last bulk until I do my first show!

Rob - Thanks bro, but I like my red and blue colors so the log is easier to read, but just for you I'll come up with a different color scheme, asshole

MM - I appreciate the post, and yeah, for some reason I felt really strong with my incline DB's even with taking so much time off. I take it as a sign of good things to come

Chesticles - Yeah buddayyy! Soon I'll be putting the 100's up for reps on Seated Shoulder Press too

FF - Oh don't worry bro, I'll definately have fun back at school...I just have to try and not have too much fun

I appreciate the post.

CJU - I see you're banned but when you come back I hope you keep checking out my log because you'll see my flat bench will take off in no time. To be honest, Bench was never my strongest lift and my muscular endurance is shot now after taking time off. Thanks for posting though man, just wait because more weights and volume is on it's way real soon


Update: As of now, I'm eating my big breakfast and lounging around a bit. I will be training legs later today but I may be a bit cautious because of a small strained-feeling I have in my groin that I don't want to make worse. Nonetheless, I look forward to blasting legs for you guys sometime this afternoon.

 

[Q80_Musclehed]

My brother Line .. ur chest and bi's session look very intense and hard .. awesome man .. keep those numbers up .. and looking forward to see ur leg workout

 

[Project Evo]

Hey, welcome back Line, great to see you posting your log again. And I see you've bounced right back with a stunning performance.

Cracking comeback session, sweet work indeed brother. We're just going to see those numbers increase beyond belief mate. Can't wait!! Really good to see you back mate.

 

[Line]

Brother Q - Thanks man, the numbers will get up soon enough. I was pretty happy that my strength wasn't completely gone during that session but I'm certaintly not satisfied.

Evo - Yeah, big increases are on the way both in the weights I'm using and the weights on the scale. Thanks for the warm welcome on my return, mate.


Well today was my first leg day back and, like an idiot, I probably put a little too much into my session than I should have. Right now my body is trying to adjust to several factors such as new equipment, training again, and eating much-much more food than I have been. I feel that in two weeks my body will be running like a well-oiled machine again but for now each session is going to be a struggle and today was no different. A few times I felt a little light-headed and sick but I pushed on and perserveered. Mentally I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to be last pushing myself harder each time but I know with my inner strength, God's support, and all you guys behind I can't fail. Here we go...

[Clint]

holy shit man, those Front Squats are freaking massive!!! along with the back squats, huge weight right there. That Leg Press is big right now too man, getting back up around 1000 pounds is going to be crazy! You crushed them hammies too man, excellent session, your really going to get scary strong during this bulk phase Enjoy that dinner man, superb session right here.

 

[Hypocrisy86]

good work on dem BB front squats man.

U will def make that 1,000mark on leg press soon!!!

 

[Chesticles]

Back AND front squats? Awesome work man, you would of had to crawl out of the gym

 

[Project Evo]

I'm hugely impressed with that leg session Line, massive numbers from the top all the way down. Is it helping that you feel you're back training in the right place? I'd have thought that'd always give you a little "extra".

Simply monsterous squatting mate and that leg press is gonna be off the planet in a few weeks time. Excellent work on the hams and calves too mate. Truely brilliant.

 

[MexicanMuscle]

wow! amazing session bro. huge numbers everywhere. those squats are awesome, and so are the front squats. u came back stronger than ever buddy!

 

[BigBen]

THATS RIGHT BABY! THATS HOW U SUPPOSE TO TRAIN! GET THAT MONEY LINE U LOOKING GREAT ALL ACROSS THE BOARD BABY!



Im excited for u bro! Great name change on your log, just like u said bro ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH GOD! REMEMBER THAT! Train hard eat harder and get huge baby! JOES GONNA KNOCK U OUT!

Tweak - Thanks, brother. Right now my legs are sore and swole as hell, including my hamstrings which I have always felt look awesome when full and can't really be over-developed. I was a bit pissed off I couldn't do more weight but I'm really looking forward to putting up the numbers I know I'm capable of.

Hypo - Thanks man, but the best is yet to come with front squats. Soon you'll be seeing three or more plates on that exercise. Trust me.

Chesty - Back and Front Squats in one session is going to be pretty much standard from now on. I was able to walk out of the gym, but one day later now it's much, more difficult LOL.

Evo - The thought of knowing I'm in my permenant home for training for the next several months feels great. It's really not that hardcore of a gym but the equipment there is great and I can still go about focusing on myself without being bothered by fitness fags lol.

MM - I appreciate the comments but believe me, I'm not close to being stronger than ever. That being said, I will be bursting through PB's really soon (maybe not as many as Evo though; that bastard).

BB - That's exactly the video I had in mind when I renamed my log! LOL

It feels great to get back to training super hardcore and bulking and it's only going to get tougher from here. Right now it's a strain on me to eat as much as I must and going from 0-60 right away with my training.

 

[Clint]

thats the first time I've ever seen that video, it was flippin great. Line in 5 years

 

[Line]

My training partner came back to school today and without even unpacking he decided to meet me at the gym around 6 PM to get back into the swing of things. It was great to see him because now I have someone to push me even farther than before.
