    No mate! I think sumo is more of a leg exercise. You are engaging mostly adductors and glutes! With the conventional deadlift there is a lot more lower back loading!

    Good morning everybody! Really looking forward to my pull session today! Mind muscle connection with my back has improved so much. I was always struggeling feeling my back in the past. Especially lats! But it has improved a lot and I think my development shows that! At least I hope so!

    Wishing everone a happy new year, a lot of new muscle tissue and may all your goals turn into reality!

    For me is a rest day today! Tomorrow I’m going to train with @lionkings at das Gym in Vienna. Really looking forward to it!

    Bodyweight is still between 80 and 81kg in pretty good condition which makes me look much heavier than I actually am!

    I totally agree with corinne. And 4 days a week should be more than enough. When i was at my peak strength levels sometimes i down regulated to just 3 times a week to match my abilities to recover.

    Never stop when there is something left in the tank! But I wouldn’t take more than 2-3 breaths even during my final reps!

    You should at least have a few aminos before your cardio to protect muscle tissue! Yes I think having fast acting carbohydrates will help!

    Like Corinne said, there are better times the rest of the day to do your cardio but if post workout is the only possibility I would have a shake with fast acting carbs right after when you have trouble eating!

    A little imbalance between left and right side is normal. When it’s really severe and visible maybe see a good massage therapist or chiropractor to make sure your spine, hips, shoulders and everything is in line and at the right place

    Sleep and recovery was great the last few days and the weights are flying during my sessions. Did 135kg x 4 on the incline barbell benchpress. Not long till i will take 140kg for a ride and i think that’s not bad for an 80kg dwarf ????

    Incline barbell bench press
    Smith machine shoulder press
    Cable triceps extensions
    Kettle bell overhead extensions
    Side lateral machine
    Upright rows

    Underhand grip barbell rows
    Hammer strength low row
    Cable pullovers
    Rear delt machine
    Dumbell shrugs
    Incline bench kettle bell curl
    High cable curl

    From my point of few this is far to much. 250mg of test e should be more than enough for the first cycle. Taking so many gear from the beginning will limit your possible gains later on.

    Use your weapons wisely. Only one at a time and see how your body reacts on this tool and if you have maxed out you can stack it with another one but not right from the beginning.

    Good morning. I really love Christmas but I’m glad the holidays are over with all the family parties etc. I love to be back in my normal daily life routine again.

    Did a little shoulder and triceps yesterday. Pump was amazing but didn’t have a lot of stability in my left arm during dumbell shoulder press. Need to get a massage again.

    Bent over laterals
    Dumbell shoulder press
    Handcuff side laterals
    Handcuff cruxifix raises
    Triceps rope extensions
    Barbell skull crushers
    Cable overhead extensions
    Upright rows supersetted with reverse shrugs
