    Was experiencing the afterglow effects of cough syrup(dextromethorphan) high :yahoo: and decided to try and hit the weight I missed last DL/bench day, that day was just not really my day. I knew I could pull and push that amount but for some reason could not.. Achieved new PR's straight ahead. Pretty pretty happy I'm finally getting my pressing stronger. I learned that the bench press isn't like squats or DL's where you can add 10lbs into it every week and expect to hit it. Increments of 2.5 or so has such a huge difference. :sport:

    Masala Maker out!

    I don't know how I got stronger by a huge amount in such a short time crazy stuff. Last week ago I couldn't lift 315 off the ground. All my lifts improved when I started rowing heavy. Worked for me.:sport:

    I won the Eclipse Gym 24/7 Primes Challenge on doing 315 on the Deadlift with proper form and a second on the lockout. Pretty stoked. First time I've ever won anything that has to do with physical performance. Excited to view the video they're gonna up of me and get my 315lbs Deadlift Club shirt :sport:

    Calling Jettie - Mag Eclipse gym ka nga kahit 1 month lang tapos unang session mo dun pakitaan mo agad ng above 315 DL para may t-shirt agad lol.

    Excited na sa another cycle ng 5/3/1/:yahoo:

    Sobrang laki na ng improvement ng mindset ko on lifting weights. Alam ko na yung limits and how to push myself and when to back off. :sport: Cheers to everyone for your help.
  • so this is your 5/3/1 week (3rd week)?

    Great numbers! anong template ang gamit mo? Triumvirate?
  • Hey Master DSD!

    thanks man. I feel awesome about it! Yung template ko is yung boring but big most of the time + 1 more assistance exercise ( rows, c&j's cause I like doing them, power cleans etc.)

    Finafollow ko yung 5/3/1 ni Jim Wendler, sa percentages, using 90% of your max, training optimally instead of maximally etc. Sobrang nagustuhan ko kasi no BS. pero sablay lang ako ng sobra sa days. I'm always itching to train kaya hindi ko na gagawa yung proper spacing of workouts minsan rin naprapraning ako ginagawa ko lahat ng lifts in a day.

    so ganto ina aim ko sana gawin mostly:
    monday: cardio, bench/deadlift
    tue rest
    wed: loaded carries, squat/ohp
    thu rest

    Pero pag friday na at gusto ko na mag buhat ulit, diretso nako week 2 ng program 3x3, and so on hahaha. So far so good.

  • Journey Update Oct 1:

    Hindi ko talaga nabantayan ang pagkain ko this last 3 weeks dahil sa girl problems haha. Stress eater e.
    Been eating packs of Annie's Hany bars straight at yung favorite kong bubble gum marshmallow ice cream ng big scoop.

    BW: 193 to 202lbs.
    Physique/Strength change:
    Nawala yung definition ng 4 pack abs "hack" ko haha at yung visible striations ng arms ko.
    Bigger arms, larger frame. Pants size from 32( nasusuot ko na dati jeans ng siyota ni Ermats) to 33/34.
    Overall Strength Gains: DL's from not being able to lift 300, to having 345 as a new PR. 220 squats to 250. etc.

    Not concerned much with the weight gain ATM since I'm getting stronger and I could easily lose the weight if I go too far.

    Bilis talaga ng strength gains mo bossing
  • Oo nga boss Yatez e swerte lang. Sana hindi mag plateau kaagad. Backing off training this weekend to rest my weary joints and bones so I can come back stronger.

    Update:
    Tumataba parin ako at 205lbs, 36 waist line na bought new jeans today. Hahaha. Crazy.
    Nawala yung eating right "groove" ko. Been snacking a lot. Need to ease back into good habits.

  • Still eating at around 1000 - 1500+ surplus. Mostly food that are easily accessible.
    I feel better, going to eat right again starting today. Around 205-208lbs zone. Really feel better around the 200 zone. I feel a lot stronger when I look bigger if that makes any sense hahahaha..


    Trained at the nearest gym yesterday. The floors were rubber zig-zags and it was nice to be able to drop the barbell. It was hard to gauge if my usual strength was still there due to the gym having KG's instead of LBS on the plates. Having to bust out the calculator each set but still the weight's not feeling the same. Felt heavier. Anyone else have this experience?


    I can't ignore my right rear delts anymore. It's tight as hell all day everyday. Every rep pressing heavy load overhead hurts it like hell. I've been stretching a lot recently and I hope it helps.


    I've only gotten heavily into rows last month and I'm starting to get obsessed with back development. Sobrang gusto ko gumanda likod ko hahaha. Want to try bodybuilding but torn between strength and aesthetics at the moment. Haven't tried bodybuilding training yet though.

    sa Eclipse ka bro. Mabini branch yan? ang lakas :sport:
  • Yes bro! Hinihintay ko pa yung shirt ko! haha! Kaya ako na enganyo sa Eclipse dahil sa challenges e. Something to work towards to aside from my own being. Gusto ko ma hit yung 225 on the bench press by the end of the year.

    Salamat ng marami ndgllb. Sobrang nakaka motivate lalo sa journey to self-improvement when people look at what I've done so far in regards to my physical self at nakaka tulong rin ako sa pag motivate sakanila to push forward with it. The feeling na the work you put into it has made kahit even the smallest ripples and vibrations in people's lives. Nakakatuwa e.

    At the moment may dalawa akong friends from work na sumasabay na sa routine/workouts ko for weight loss and nakakatuwa na nag proprogress sila in strength and fat loss.



    Sobrang bilis ng fluctuation ko in weight nakaka loko.
    Started eating decent again today.

    Breakfast
    10 hardboiled eggs
    2 bananas

    Katakot yung likod mo during the initial pull brah. Rounded back. Disaster waiting to happen. You need to sit down lower and tighten up your lumbar and thoracic spine. Take care of your back. Yan ang pundasyon natin palagi sa lifting. Don't put it on compromised position.
  • DSmallDivideDSmallDivide Posts: 4,565
    While i'm not really used to do oly lifts on a normal basis, tama si riddler back shouldn't be rounded also same as doing deadlifts you need to kep the bar as close as possible to your body and don't swing the weight forward. just saying.
