NOTE TO SELF/FLEX FRIDAY

So today we switched up my training routine. I work graveyards (12am-8am) and for the past 4 weeks I would train BEFORE I go into work. Well we decided to spice things up a bit and reversed it. I now train AFTER work. Energy levels seemed lower going into my workout, but after my first set I KILLED it and even broke a squat PR: 185 for 10 reps after 80 reps. WHOOP, NEXT LEVEL SHIT ACQUIRED! So maybe training after work isn't a bad thing, wasn't too crowded either at 7am.

Hit ya with some FLEX FRIDAYYYYY yo!

Some note to self's I realized today:

1.) BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL ON LEG DAY AFTER A PREWORKOUT MEAL CONSISTING OF LONDON BROIL STEAK. During my second intra circuit, I reached down for the barbell to do some lunges and I could taste the steak boiling up to my mouth. RED FLAG RED FLAG! lol

2.) Don't be lazy and do the insane amount of weight a previous BONEHEAD lifter left after not reracking his weights. I was so exhausted, I said fawkkk it and decided to do some really heavy seated calf raises. END RESULT: Almost twisted my ankle :( One injury could throw out my competition completely, no thank you dude!

3.) The powerlifter posse DOES NOT, I repeat DOES NOT train in the mornings! Um winning! They always hog the squat racks in the evenings. I don't think they know anything else other than squats, I always have to glare the evil eye at them on my leg days. Yeah yeah yeah, you can lift 3x more than me girly powerlifter, but do you even AESTHETICS BROGIRL?! lol

3.) Try to introduce a new kind of meat into my menu for meal prep. Repetitive tupperware meals can be mentally exhausting and since I loveeee fish, figured I would experiment with different kinds of white fish. This morning I have discovered the realm of RED SNAPPER! muahahaha I will let ya'll know how it tastes.

4.) About 4 weeks into my prep, I have noticed that my waist has gotten a little "thicker" width wise. I still have a 6 pack throughout the entire day, just a little wider is all. Curious to see if it chisels down again once I cut again. I am known for my tiny waist, so I hope it makes a come back!

5.) During my off season, I need to hit legs HARD! my quads are nice, but they aren't popping and sweeping the way I want symmetrically to the rest of my physique. wahhh. I gots this shit though. Beastmode: ON

5.) PB2 is the SHIZNIT!! I was weary about powdered peanut butter b/c let's face it, pb in it's glorious buttery form is like golden sunshine on a candy ribbon rainbow...nothing can compare. I've tried soy peanut butter once and instantly gave it to my dogs lol tasted like shiiiiit! But this... PB2 is the real deal! Look it up, got it at wal-mart. The nutrition label is even more glorious. YOU ARE WELCOME!

6.) I'M A M'FING BOSS AND DON'T FAWGET IT, YA HEARD?!

Stay Hungry and Devour the Gainz!
