Lightly sparred against a fighter who actually been in bouts...



Intimidation definitely creeped in, but i didn't fear the moment...

Im seeing the jabs better and countering off the angles...

Catching teeps and kicks, but got alot more work to do

Muay thai gonna be at least 3/4 times a week+gym...

Just finished wk 3 of this Squat Everyday kick. Legs no longer get sore but the cramps from not stretching.

I was tired af even though I was off yesterday. Hit my daily min and 1 more squat, then pulled a 10# sumo PR.

My energy levels have plummeted over the last 2 weeks, I'm gonna have to eat dirty just to maintain. Finna start stuffing my face like a fat kid, word to Heavyweights.

Did your legs itch?

 

[1LurkerChick9]

Did your legs itch?

Yes, only slightly though, It's usually much worse. I tried to take it easy since it's been awhile

 

[Gully Bull]

Started German volume training today
100 reps - 27.5lbs - DB bench press
100 reps - 27.5lbs - DB row
100 reps - 10lbs - DB pec fly
30 chin ups

didn’t realize til I was done that I was only supposed to do 30 dB pec fly lol

Did my push/pull this weekend, gym was kinda dead


Realized I've not been doing enough hamstring work. Did the machine curl for the first time in a while and was hella weak



Did hunnids on the dumbbell bench finally Crazy how bench/pressing feels way better for me after doing legs (squat/hack squat), guess I don't warm my body up enough.

I cannot hit my calories or macros. This shyt is mad frustrating. Protein and Fats are easy to make up (whey supplement, peanut butter, almonds, peanuts, chicken breasts).

However, I cannot for the life of me get Carbohydrates. Unless I start gouging on bread (and tuna combos). White Rice (Jasmin) is trash compacter status. Probably need to start designing 700 - 750 calorie meals then work up.

Also Ive been doing SL 5x5 and outside week 1 - and I swear there is no mind-muscle connection. Exercise feel ineffective asf

Feeling like Im playing in the gym.

1 pound of noodles and almost 2 lbs of pasta sauce with meat () on top of mass gainer and a nikka still losing weight/just barely maintains.


I don't know what to do brehs, besides drinking a shytload of milk.

Can't help with the macros part (see above).

As for SL 5x5, mind-muscle connection is irrelevant. As long as you moved the weight with good form/didn't get injured, that's all that matters. Rinse and repeat until you stall.

If you started out light like Medhi advises, there really shouldn't be any MMC because you're not moving heavy enough weight. Also, in my experience, MMC is much easier to establish on isolation movements and harder on compounds. SL is all compound movements.

Lastly, remember MMC is largely irrelevant when it comes to strength. SL is a beginner strength (not powerlifting) program. If you really want to focus on MMC that badly, find a beginner bodybuilding program.
