Dread's Carnivore Muscle Thread

Snapshot of the routine. The primary lift is done 5 sets of 6 until I can easily hit 6 reps on the last set, then the weight goes up. The rest is sets of 12.

The order goes Upper, Lower, Pull, Push, Legs - Monday-Friday.

Most difficult and taxing leg day all year. Can’t wait to beat it next Friday! Also, 100,000lbs lifted in less than 2 hours?

So, interestingly enough, I’ve been having some chronic pain all week in my right knee. After I left the gym this morning, the pain was and still is completely gone. #squatsheal

Dread1840 · 2018-12-01 14:03:35 UTC

Very sore.

islandlight · 2018-12-01 23:26:05 UTC

Good sore or bad sore?

Thanks for the thread. I used to weight train but no more. Cheering you on from the sidelines now!

Dread1840 · 2018-12-01 23:46:58 UTC

Thanks Laurie! Good sore, for sure.

So much cardio

Dread1840 · 2018-12-10 15:32:17 UTC

Cute.

I actually have a somewhat active job so I’ll easily log 12k steps. Not much time for it in the morning between the gym and my 2nd job (Lyft). The hustle kind of supercedes a lot of other stuff at the moment.
