You can take a smith machine as far as you like.
“Wow I have legs!”
I’m laughing at myself, feeling a bit sore from comically light for a bunch of sets of five.
This is how I’d add/I’m adding leg work, meaningful leg work back in.
Comically light, a bunch of sets of five.
“Wow I have legs!”
You reawaken them, it always feels good.
It’s a smith machine – the smart route forces you to ease into it – cause smith machines force you into a wonky bar path – not smart to load up too quickly.
Ease into the poundage, starting comically light…for a bunch of sets of five – you’ll strengthen the long asleep tendon and ligament strength.
I’ve built their strength running as long as 8-9 months of squat every day.
At this point I’m committed to staying at pf, making the place work for me.
Committed.
No need to quadruple my monthly gym dues at the “hardcore?/powerlifting?” places replacement.
I think I’ll smith squat comically light…for a bunch of fives every few days, and call it good.
Some leg work is better than none leg work, and I’m on the “cutting” lifestyle by work alone – this will make me stronger, and help ride the weight loss down to a higher quality build.
It looks like I’m becoming a bodybuilder.
Smith machines always feel heavier to me than the same barbell poundage.
3p for a bunch of sets and reps – I’ll be strong enough, besides I’m eating, sleeping, breathing back work…I’ll be strong.
Lots of back work.
Probably end up at something like a lean and mean 215, that’d be quality, “greyhounded up” in Wes Watson video terminology.
215 hitting lots of chins, heavier in leg development – I like the mental image.
We’ll see how I even get that “light”, it’s been around six years since, and that was barely eating in the vegas heat…the same circumstances lol.
(barely eating, in the heat)
Then ease back up to 235…a beast.
I know I’ve got that size potential.
It seems to me that all naturals need to force feed up to a heavier weight than is their comfortable as nature intended athletic weight.
You change somatotype that way – at the very least shifting towards mesomorph as you’ve forced your body to add a bunch of muscle.
Then you lean out, keep all your strength (it never leaves), then add some size back, and are a beast ; and it’s cause you did what most never were willing to try.
Fasting is easy.
Force feeding was more effort.
I’ve never “dieted” as per standard bodybuilding bunch of small meals chicken breast, broccoli, and clean carb protocol.
I prefer to take an hour of my day to do pushups at the gym, than five minutes at home.
I can lift a barbell at home when I choose once I buy a house, and that’s soon, then a client or two a day on barbells in my home gym.
Keep a big ole dog around the place, name him “woof woof”, “bark bark”, or something similarly amusing.
Cause it adds to the gym atmosphere.
For now – this job, get clients, keep training – I’m never taking a day off from training!
