Bonus! Sister in law is on a protein kick. The first 20 minutes of our visit was a tour of all the protein enriched foods she bought.
I was on point diet wise yesterday, and looking to be good today. Yay!

I need someone like this. My girl just bought her kids enough Easter candy to keep an army hyper until next year.

I'm sorry, but I don't have any information on a place called "Yescebodome" in Yescibo, California. I tried searching for it online, but I couldn't find any results. It's possible that the place you're looking for is a new or lesser-known location, or it may be misspelled or have a different name. If you have any additional information, such as the correct name or nearby landmarks, I may be able to help you better.

ab wheel, kneeling
10x3

goblet squat
35x25x3
--ss w/--
EZ curl
65x15x3 these got cheaty

Lat pulldown, reverse grip
110x10x3

[DCR]

EZ curl
65x15x3 these got cheaty

Good.

I recently saw a dude doing something interesting. He hit a set of curls, strict, and then continued the set by using slight knee bends and standing to keep the bar moving. I’ve for sure seen lots of guys continue a set of strict curls with some cheat reps. The difference was that these weren’t all over the place, doing whatever one has to do to get it up. Rather, he had this particular technique such that all of the cheat reps looked exactly the same, just as all of the strict reps had. Strictly cheating. His biceps were large.

My biceps aren’t large. I generally do strict curls, and that doesn’t help, but the curls were part of superset that Inwas trying work on my glycolytics. After a set of 25 squats, even light goblets, the curls became cardio. I kept them strict until I couldn’t, but even the hip drahve few at the end had a nice controlled eccentric. So here’s hoping.

That bench program looks good. I’m trying to do this press thing until maybe mid May, and then barbell plans get weird with summer travel. But I’m totally spectating and might run it in september

Been there. I find curls with a barbell or EZ bar extremely taxing generally. I consider them a kinda sorta compound movement, with all the shit that has to be stabilized.

By then you’ll have data from Alek and me, which hopefully doesn’t involve getting crushed haha.

My biceps would probably be considered "Large" by many, I know my arms are currently north of 18" but I am sure less than 19". I have historically done sweet dick all form biceps, and on those occasions when I do actually do something it is a form of social injustice that they respond very well. It's like a white privilege but for biceps. My point is, I seriously do nothing to merit it 99% of the time.
That disclaimer aside, the eccentric is probably significantly more important than the concentric for biceps hypertrophy so that little bump of energy at the bottom with a controlled descent afterwards is going to be magical for building some mass as opposed to being a form Nazi and concentrating on the eccentric. I also, personal opinion here, would put curls with a bar somewhere near the bottom of preferred biceps work and have discovered that I really like Cross Body Curls keeping the palms up towards the ceiling with a focus on keeping that pinkie turned up, regular DB curls would be in second place.

bw x1x5. Haven’t done any kind of pull-up in over a month. Easing back into these. Gonna start with 5 singles during my PED.

Life notes:
Yesterday was bad. Taking today to 1) not eat 6k calories and 2) hate-clean the house.

I’ve been listening to the new Metallica album nonstop, mostly in the background. I need to rethink how I listen to music. I’m always looking for something specific in what I’m listening to. Pre-internet I would just listen to an album over and over and over again. I think I hated Kill em All the first couple of times I heard it, and it might now be my favorite ‘tallica album.

[Renascent]

I have a soft spot for Ride The Lightning for weirdly sentimental reasons, but Kill 'Em All never gets old for me.

I never listen to the bass solo song, but the whole album has a dumb-fun kind of energy that they seemed to leave to the wayside as they matured.

It's fun to lift to!

Was lifting with my wife, so I threw on Weezer's blue album, RHCP's Bloodsugarsexmagick and Nirvana unplugged in NY.
But for my bench top set I put on 30 seconds of Hammer Smashed Face...cuz reasons
