My lifting has been spot on lately and I'm eating more but not gaining weight. Had a big guy tell me I looked huge at the gym and wanted to know my weight. When I told him what I weighed, he said I looked 15-20lbs heavier. He weighed 255 and wasn't fat so that was quite a compliment.

I hope he saw that my wife was there today if you know what I mean.

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR YOUR CALVES BRO?

NEED A SPOT? /POSITIONS JUNK RIGHT OVER YOUR CHIN

My calves are ****ing horrible. They never grow. :crybaby:

Rest time. Save it.

That's just me, though. I'm glad when I'm not tired after a workout because it means I'm probably not overtraining.

For instance, today was my highest weight day of the workout week. I'm not tired and feel like I could do the whole workout over again. I'm glad I'm so energized, though, because it usually means that I'll have good workouts next week.

However, if I'm beat after today's workout, it's probably time to take a week and recover.

Most advanced routines have a prescribed reset period or de-load week.

You just can't keep progressing linearly forever. Your body just gets tired.

I do 5/3/1. 3 hard weeks, then 1 deload week. Once you have been pounding the iron for years, you needs some schedule decreases in intensity usually more frequently than when you began lifting.

You have to know yourself. If a person loves to work out, they will be chompin at the bit to get back after it. I am sure Silock has well over 20,000 hours in the arena of fitness, needless to say he doesn't have to worry about soapy titty time distracting him.

LMAO

You should probably take it easy once every 8 weeks or so.

That doesn't mean you have to do NOTHING, but either do half the weight of your normal workouts that week, or half the sets.

Don't think about it as an impediment to your progress. You won't lose any gains you've made in a week. Think of it like an oil change in your car. Preventative maintenance.

I just got distracted.

BRB, headin' to DOLLYWOOD!
