    Finished the week off with a 2nd round of chest/Delts last night. Since I’m now doing chest twice per week, my 2nd day is considered my pump day and here I utilize more cable/machine work and only do 2-3 exercises for limited sets this day. Rest periods are kept to 1 min or so which makes the workout only 45 min-1 hour.

    Plate Load Incline Press:
    3 warmup sets of of 6 reps
    3 working sets of of 5-8 reps

    Machine Press:
    2 Warmup sets of 6
    3 working sets of of 10 reps

    Machine Fly:
    2 sets of 10 reps

    Rope Pulls: (rear Delts)
    2 Warmup set of 6 reps
    3 working sets of 10 reps

    Machine Press:
    2 Warmup sets of 6
    2 working sets of 10 reps

    Hey Drew,

    Feeder set is just to get a feel for a bit more weight other than the warmup and to gauge what weight I’ll go up to for my actual working set.

    Hey Isaac,

    Appreciated and thank you for the questions!

    1. Not eating enough! As a former wrestler, eating wasn’t something I needed to do for a sport that I had to cut in order to make weight.
    So when I switched to bodybuilding, my appetite just wasn’t there so I’d only eat maybe 3-4 small meals a day not knowing eating more would have been more beneficial.

    2. No particular order:
    -Dexter Jackson
    -Flex Wheeler
    -Shawn’s Ray
    -Lee Labrada
    -Lee Preist

    3. We’ve done that before with Pancakes, Eggs and Potatoes

    4. I love the gym and atmosphere there in Kuwait. As long as I’d be able to still have Matt handle my nutrition/diet and my family was OK with it and taken care of, yes absolutely!

    5. Tough call!
    I’ve got a few guys that if they nail it, can win but on paper, it’s Roelly’s show.

    Hey Wade,

    Thank you!

    Still keeping diet clean but the only thing that I do that works best for me is more cheat meals through the week, especially on leg and back days.

    Last night I came home after training I had my bison and white rice meal and then ice cream as my bedtime snack.

    When I got to bed, I couldn’t sleep and my stomach was rumbling because I was still starving so I got up and had protein pizza with ground beef as my topping.

    I’m a hard gainer and have a fast metabolism so I pretty much can eat whatever I want, which I need to keep my weight up.

    Hey Everyone!

    The past two days have been super busy and exciting! I was in Texas with the GASP Team Training, filming content and having a blast!

    We trained at Destination Dallas, which is one of Bodybuilder friendly gyms in the area. Had a ton of great equipment and amazing environment with everyone working hard!

    The first day we got there we trained back and off the bat noticed the weights here were much heavier.

    2 Working sets of of 10 reps

    Chest Support Row:
    2 Warmup set of 8 reps
    2 Working sets of 8 reps

    Lying Row:
    So here we lay flat on our stomach and have the camber bar underneath and rowing the bar up. This was TOUGH!
    2 Warmup sets of 8 reps
    2 Working sets of 6 reps and then one drop set of 10 reps on the last set

    Seated Low Row:
    2 Warmup sets of 10 reps
