This is my story, my testimony, my account of witnessing the truth of what Jesus Christ has to offer us, what God has to offer us.

It’s more than anything you could imagine, and I thank and praise God for his grace, and Jesus for healing me by salvation🙌 by @ethanbustard_

Skip to minute 6 for the takeaway

This video is 7 min of reflecting, vulnerability, confusion, reminders, scripture, and revelation

And I wanted to share. Partially to show to other young believers the same realization I had. And partially to show the process it takes me (a person like all the rest of us) to identify where I’ve come up short and how I used the word to find a new way forward instead of forgetting about it.

And MOSTLY because I was nudged by the Spirit to do so

Happy Tuesday by @ethanbustard_

Average bw of 185.5 last week, which is right around desired progress for the bulk (1-2 lbs per month)

Everything feels like it has grown a little

Also making good progress on knee tendon rehab, back up to some decent weight on hack squats. Now I just need to not get ahead of myself (I will probably get ahead of myself)

4000 cals a day, 220 protein

I definitely feel stronger/more comfortable when I do these two things. Rule 1 I saw on social media and rule 2 I figured out on my own + later got it confirmed from a trainer

1. Knew always in line with the hinge point. If you’ve ever gotten to the bottom of the curl and your knees start shifting down and back to get that squeeze, or if the tension in general feels off. It’s because you’re not doing this. That’s leaving gains on the table.

2. You should be able to draw a straight line through your hip -> knee -> ankle joint. This is going to allow the fibers of the hamstring to work directly against the resistance. Versus at an angle (if your legs are flared out). They can do their job better which means they’re going to get stimulated better. That’s potential for more growth.

I’ve seen the most success from focusing on these two things fs by @ethanbustard_

How I do my hamstring curls

As you can see I lose count of reps a lot so I do take videos of almost every set, even if I’m not posting them

Was very pleased with this set, some of the best reps of my life (that’s always the goal though) by @ethanbustard_

Posting this cause tmrw is legs so what happened today has to get posted today

My back day is normally Fridays but I’m out of town this weekend so I moved it to Thursday

425x4 was supposed to move at rpe 7 felt more like 6-6.5
380x6 was supposed to be rpe 6 for both sets but felt like 5.5 for set 1 and 5 for set 2

I remembered a mental cue I used back when I did powerlifting and it clicked for that third set. Gives me much more confidence off the floor and reminded me why deads are my favorite exercise

Nothing feels better than slinging the weight around

450x4 next week 👀

This is the road to 600 by @ethanbustard_

And a current update on what my goals are so yall can know why im doing what im doing going forward

Bulking: trying to reach 195, 1-2 lbs a month, im 183 right now

Bodybuilding: I have a strong conviction to compete next year, haven’t pulled the trigger yet and I’ll explain why sometime, it’s a weird decision. But majority of my training is purely for bodybuilding

Strength training: key word majority. Squat bench and deadlift are fun and I click well with them so I’ve currently got bench and deadlift in the program. Once I hit 315 bench and 600 deadlift I’ll be happy.

So basically I’m in the prime of training right now by @ethanbustard_

Everyone’s all DIET DIET DIET and it’s backwards

You will HATE life if you don’t focus on activity

Would you rather eat 2500 cals a day and go on evenings walks + lift 3 times a week

Or eat 2000 cals a day and rot in the office or on the couch just bored and waiting to eat again

I didn’t even mention the fact that activity helps you fill time which is less time spent wanting to eat

This study exposed what nothing else could

The fact that in a perfectly controlled environment, humans and human error always triumphs

You’re going to eat MORE by habit when you’re always eating pancakes and fast food

So DONT give yourself the CHOICE excepting maybe once or twice a week

Pack your lunches, cook your dinners, eat a lot of fruit, you naturally will be less hungry and consume less calories…without trying by @ethanbustard_

Carbs post workout ✅

If you’re not trying to lose weight it would be smart to get .55g of carbs per lb of body weight every hour for 2 hours post workout

If you ARE trying to lose weight, knock that down to .3g of carbs per lb of bodyweight for the first hour at least

Best sources of carbs for this are gonna be fast digesting ones that contain fructose, glucose, or maybe sucrose:

Honey
Almost any fruit
Fruit preserves

These are unmatched and cheap and my personal favorites by @ethanbustard_
