Is the grammar better?

[PizDoff]

Nice stuff young man!



Nito:
Yes this is why I like to have a shake before my workouts, because of the high level of sugars in the weight gainer and in milk.

Yeah I like to shake it and dance before working out too.
People look at me funny in the gym though, I don't get it.

[Canadian Crippler]

l1ke u r such a s1lly g00se!!./`!11!!!

You should see the look on some poeples faces when I do my plyo's, there so confused you'd think I was an oldman with a hard on or something :D.

I was just looking back at less than 2 months ago, where I was doing 8x200. Now I'm at 6x235 with better ROM, it's nice to sometimes look back like this and enjoy the progress :D.

[Stephen Riddington]

Leg looking strong. You'll get even stronger, when you start using the power rack.

[lilmase1153]

nice w/o there Ccrippler.. on those plyo's you did a lunge walk for one mile.. thats pretty impressive....

[Canadian Crippler]

CanadianHomer:
Thanks, and let's hope man. I have a feeling tha using it is going to be a hasstle, I can imagine all the scrubs doing BB Curls and what not in them. I think it would be great if they made a rule where you could only dead, squat, press, lunge, and row in it :).

lilmase:
Welcome, and LOL, I wish buddy. I did 1 lap, and 13 laps = 1 mile. So 1/13th of a mile, :p. It's probably about 70-80 lunges or so.

[Chubrock]

Nice go at the squat max man. I'm sure you'll get it next time. What was your reasoning for squattin on a Smith Machine instead of in a Power Rack.

[PizDoff]

His gym doesn't have one yet.

[rookiebldr]

You should see the look on some poeples faces when I do my plyo's, there so confused you'd think I was an oldman with a hard on or something :D.

lol ;)

As I've said before, you're progress is amazing. 255x1 for squats, ace!

[Canadian Crippler]

THEY GOT THE POWERRACK!

Chubrock:
Hehe, next time I'll be squatting with 25s to get my form down :D. Reasoning, read above.

Pizdoff:
Muahahhaah, you are wrong. :).

Jeff:
ROFL, I'm not sure what that 'lol ;)' is trying to insinuate but I'm pretty scared now :D. Thanks for the kind words man, let's hope I get 1x300 by the end of the school year in the POWER RACK.

[lilmase1153]

Welcome to my journal, and LOL, I wish buddy. I did 1 lap, and 13 laps = 1 mile. So 1/13th of a mile, :p. It's probably about 70-80 lunges or so
oh good cause i was starting to think you were'nt human :eek: good luck with the power rack.. you will soon learn to hate it

Chest/Tricep/Abs

Workout:
repsXweight
BB Bench Press
10xbar
10x135
5x165
5x165
4x165
6x155
4x165

This was done in the new power rack at the gym. I went down 2 reps, which makes me a little iffy. Not sure if it was a bad day, the new enviroment, or maybe the weight's a bit heavier there. We'll see next chest session!

Flies
10x40s
7x45s (+2R)
7x45s

Sweet! These are 2 reps PRd from FRESH flies! I was usually doing 6-8x40s after bench, so +10W was quite a happy moment.

Dips
10xBW
7xBW+10
6xBW+10
4xBW+10

Last few sessions I have had a few hour break between bench/flies and dips, not anymore though. I'm guessing that's the reason for the rep loss, but again we'll see next session.

Pushdowns
8x75 (+2R)
33x45

New PR, and did a 33 rep drop set with 45. Was pretty dumb, didn't really feel it well at all.
Crunches/Leg Raises SUPERSET

Next session is mentally being hyped in my mind.

Finally set my diet to 5000. Hit over 5100 today with 200g fat LOL. I'm breaking my ass trying to get the protein up, I'll see what I can do next time at the grocery store. Hit up my fitday for more info (sig).

Comments and critique welcome and appreciated!

[PizDoff]

Ah, yeah I remembered now, that was where I got my neck conditioning from, good stuff.

[Zearoth]

What's with the high chest volume and low tri work?

Anyways, nice work on the pressing. Yes, I didn't gain nor lose anything on the powerack there. Must be the new bar or something. Felt a little off for me too. :scratch:

[Canadian Crippler]

Zearoth:
9 sets chest, 6 sets tris. What's wrong? I know you consider dips as chest but it's more tricep man, especially if you stay very upright.

Thanks, and it felt just heavier as opposed to off. I dunno, next session I'm going to listen to some Rammstein before I go and set myself up well mentally, because maybe that was the problem (for both of us). It could be that when Belo, Vultaggio, and Levi are watching I try to push myself much harder, atleast thats what mr. baseball told me.

[debussy]

hey congrats on the 5000 calorie diet... sounds intense. what kind of food are you eating ot get so many calories? anyway, i wouldnt bother with so many sets of chest... if you want to get your bench up, work on your triceps and back more. i only do 3 sets of heavy bench per week and my bench is already up to 255.

[Stephen Riddington]

5000 cal diet...

Tell me how do I do that??? beside the normal motto of eat. :D

Session looking well.

[Coke]

Like the session...the multiple sets on the bench press is nice - almost 5 x 5

[ryuage]

chest session looks good, just go in next time even more determined :)

[lilmase1153]

nice session crippler... and yes it is still impressive even though its not a mile cause that would be just plain silly :-) now go tear your chest a new one

[Chubrock]

Well well....looks like CC's tryin to catch me lol. Great session man. That diet is insane. I'd never be able to eat that much. You'll catch me in no time with sessions like that and the way you're eatin.

[Canadian Crippler]

debussy:
Yesterday it was killer but I'm already at 3k today with over 6 hours left till sleepy time, :).

And yes, I have been really trying to get my shoulder and tri strength up ever since reading multiple threads and articles on how that is many people's biggest weakpoint, bench wise. I'll consider lowing the volume aswell, but do you train chest once or twice a week? Thanks for the reply!

CanadianHomer:
2 shakes, each 950 calories :D. Peanuts help, though I try my hardest to get to 5k without them since my fat gets REALLY high. Thank's, I had 11 hours of sleep last night and my chest is still feeling pretty crazy.

CoCoa:
Yes, almost. I would have been happier with 1x7 even if the rest were @ 5 or 4, but it was ok I guess.

ryu:
Uh huh, that's the plan for next time. I don't really know what I'm fussing about, even if determination wasn't the problem 2 reps isn't a big deal. I guess I'm just picky, :D.

lilmase:
I don't even think a mile is possible lol. Hmmm, that's my new long-term goal. Lunge for a mile ;). Thanks for the reply.

Chubrock:
Yes, it is heh. Funny thing is I think I could do even more, but the shakes I have are high in sugar so I don't want to go even more overboard. Maybe if the next weightgainer I get has a better source of carbs I'll try 5500.

Today is deads, maybe I'll even out with you on that in a few sessions... though I doubt it.

Which shakes do you use??? :)

The only one that's possible to create a 950 call shake, that comes to mind, is N-Large-2.

[Canadian Crippler]

Which shakes do you use??? :)

The only one that's possible to create a 950 call shake, that comes to mind, is N-Large-2.It's called Mammoth 2500, very similar to N-Large-2 but more sugar and some of the protein is from soy. I will try to switch to N-Large-2 soon, since besides that they are basically the same.

Back

Workout:
repsXweight
Deadlifts
10xbar
10x95
10x135
10x165
8x185

First time doing deads! I think I got the form down because I feel it hard in my lower back, but not the type of "feel" that hurts. Anyways, I wasn't thinking about grip and lost it on the 8x185. Kept this light (obviously), with the 8x185 more like medium intensity. QUESTION: Do you grip overhand or underhand? If it doesn't matter, would underhand be better for someone with weaker grip?

Pullups
10xBW
6xBW+10 (+10W)
6xBW+10
5xBW+10

WOOO! Finally can add weight to my pullups. Aswell, now that I'm infront of a mirror I can see my ROM, and I do believe it was better this time around.

Seated Cable Rows
8x160 (+5W)
5x165 (+10W)

Another nice woo! These are up from 9x155. The set at 165 was done maybe 1 minute after the 160 since they were closing.

Crunch / Leg Raises SUPERSET
50 / 29
20 / 25

This is for sure a PR, too lazy to go back and check. Next abs session will have decline crunches and hanging leg raises, possibly w/ weight.

Very good session to sum it up. The power rack is the best thing that ever happened to that former-pathetic attempt at a gym.

Comments and critique welcome and appreciated!

[Zearoth]

WOOO!

Shut up, Ric Flair.

Haha, nice work bro. The pwoerack IS the best thing that happened.

[Alke]

deadlifts? powerracks?

good stuff maynard! deadlifts are the best, I remember when I started deadlifts all I could do was 105 for reps....

most people use mixed grip (underhand/overhand).

you wont need straps until you get to pulling over 300lbs, if you start to have trouble holding onto anything less than 300lbs work on your grip with shrugs, partials, static holds and forearm work.

glad to hear your on the road to weighted pullups bro, nothing like a set of plates hanging between your legs for reps lol

you still doing the wrestling training...wall jumps and all that?

[PizDoff]

Interestingly enough, I've dropped down to 165.5.....
Damn exams and cold, messing up my eating.

Nice low BF though. :)

(This one is getting too big, we may have to deal with him soon!)

[ryuage]

great session crip, I use a mix grip for deads.

[lilmase1153]

way to really tear it up crippler... very impresses broham

[Guido]

Just starting on the deads, man? Nice poundages for first time. I always use mixed grip, as well. Now that you can do regular bar squats your leg strength should go up, too, which will further enhance your deads.

[Canadian Crippler]

Wrestled today, took one to many spinebusters and my back is in a "WOWOWWOWOW OMG DANG!!!11/1!" right now. I guess it's a good thing though, since that's apparantely how I will feel often once I start doing shows.

[briancurran01]

nice work crippler...185 for first dead session? damn nice bro

[Canadian Crippler]

Brian:
Yes, yes it is.

Alke:
Well I'm hoping I can rep 200 next session, I know that isn't much but I have only been working lower back (with back extentions) for one month.

Hmm, my buddies told me to use mixed but I always thought it was only used for 1RM. I was using overhand, I'll switch to mixed.

I don't really plan to use straps at all, unless I really really must. I'll make sure to get in lots of grip work though, hell I haven't shrugged in a long time anyways!

Oh, I use a belt for pullsups/dips hehe. I find I worry way to much about the plate and not enough about the lift if it's in my legs. There's nothing wrong with using a belt is there?

Yes, I still am training. I do plymoetrics alot, check it out on page 21. I got spinebustered about 15 times (no joke) today, so that mixed with deadlifts from yesterday are just smoking my back lol.

Thank's for the nice reply and let's get you back in the gym!

PizDoff:
Ewwww low BF! Would you like some stones with those sticks? ;) J/K bro, I know how importanty it is to stay at low BF in your field of..... fieldness.

And I'm unfortunately not getting TOO big, just stronger... damn age/genetics!

ryu:
Thank's, I'll stick with mix grip next time.

lilmase:
broham? How about brosteak or broliveoil ;). Thank's for the reply, and tearing up is something I hope to never do to my back :p.

Guido:
Thanks! Yes I except to improve more in leg and overall strength now that I can do regular squats. I'm designing a new routine for my abs and oblique since I heard core strength will aswell help squats/deads.

Bri:
Thanks man, I was quite happy I could pull 185 like that. As said I hope to get to 200 next time and keep moving up from there.

[Hockey66]

CC, I just started do deads a month ago, and they shot up fast. The first time I did them I did 175 x 10. Second week I did 225 x 8. 3rd week 245 x 6. 4th week I pulled 275 x 4 out of my ass somehow lol.

[PizDoff]

My field? :D
Yours is the one where you have to look prettier.

Ours? We just get ugly. Haha!

Hockey:
Wow that's pretty cool. I'm hoping I get the same lol.

Pizzz:
But but.... we're pwetty pwetty people! No, you don't need to be pretty. You need to have a good body, lots of skill, or both :D.

ryu:
Hey, if I were a female squat rack I'd mack Ronnie anyday ;).

Justin:
Thanks man!

[Guido]

Yes I except to improve more in leg and overall strength now that I can do regular squats. I'm designing a new routine for my abs and oblique since I heard core strength will aswell help squats/deads.

The core work will help with just about everything. In fact, the deads themselves will help with your core strength. You'll get a very hard back from working those DL's, and yes, you will imporve fast. I started with 185x8 and went up 40lbs my second time doing them. Today will be my 4th w/o doing them and I'm expecting to able to rep 275-285x6 hopefully.

Great work! :thumbup:

[Canadian Crippler]

40 lbs lol, thats pretty crazy. If I could pull 2pps next time I'll be more than happy :).


Well, I did something bad to my thumb wrestling yesterday. It might be dislocated, dunno going to the doctor today. Doubt I'll be lifting, and if I do it will be all non-grip needed machines. :(

[Guido]

I think you'll be surprised, Crippler. Deads improve really fast when you're a beginner. I'll bet you a beer you get 2pps next time.

[Stephen Riddington]

Good job with the DLs, I hope I can improve like you do. It'll be cool if I can do 2pps. :)

[Canadian Crippler]

Thank's you two. But I won't be deading for 2 weeks atleast.


I tore 2 ligaments at the bottom of my thumb and hand, so I'll be in a sling for 2 weeks minimum... I'll be working legs (with machines), abs, cardio, and plyometrics.

[Hockey66]

Ahh that sucks man, sounds painful as hell.

Hope you get better soon.

[Coke]

...good way to work around the problem, hope the hand clears swiftly.

[Chubrock]

Damn CC, good luck with ya hand man. You'll heal up in no time and steadily catch me.

[Guido]

Good luck with that hand, man. Maybe it's a good time to take a week or two off and start a new cycle?

[Canadian Crippler]

Hockey:
Nah barely hurts at all, I wrestled a full match with it and barely noticed a thing. That's why I'm so pissed, I'm wondering how 2 ligaments can be torn when I barely feel a thing!

CoCoa:
Yea thanks. No point in neglecting the core, legs, and cardio when they'll still up and ready.

Chub:
Hehe, I had a hard enough time catching you without an injury... I'll have to eat like a monster and bust my ass now :p.

Guido:
Well I'm on Week 6 I believe of this routine, and thus far I have been making gains all over. I'll probably switch it up once I stop making gains or at week 12, whichever comes first.

[Stephen Riddington]

The injury gotta blow. Hope it'll heal quickly, so you can be the first WBBer to be a bona fide WWE superstar. :)

[Zearoth]

That injury looks pretty bad. Hope you get back to the gym soon!

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks for the support you two!!

[Zearoth]

Real ma-tur-eh?

[Canadian Crippler]

Quite so.

[Zearoth]

Quite so.

I feel doubtful.

[Canadian Crippler]

That's because you're not good at the internet.

[Zearoth]

That's because you're not good at the internet.

That may be so, but I'm particularly profficient at life.

[Canadian Crippler]

Which is why I recieve the messages "I'm bored" and "Let's do something" every single day. :D

[Zearoth]

Then you're just as bad because you can't think either.

[Canadian Crippler]

Think of what?

[Zearoth]

General thinking.

[Canadian Crippler]

General thinking of what? I can think, and I don't see how this has anything to do with you bothering me about being bored everday.

[Zearoth]

You can think? Then you must simply be an idiot for calling someone at 2 in the morning several times.

[Canadian Crippler]

Then what does that make someone who asks a person to walk over in the cold at 1 AM with a PS2?

[Zearoth]

A regular person, because you're exaggerating the point just to get back at me.

[Canadian Crippler]

And you're dropping my point of you always being bored to get back at me.

[Zearoth]

What's wrong with being bored? You seem to complains how there's nothing to do time and time again.

[Canadian Crippler]

Lies. I am always pressed for time, except for now since I have the injury. Being bored means you have nothing to do with your time, therefore meanig you have little life. I am making a deal about this because you said you were superior at life than me when it is clearly the other way around.

[Zearoth]

You cannot gauge superiority by any means, let alone by "how much time you have" or by "how much of a life you have". It's just idiocy and a simple-minded comeback.

EDIT:
By also saying that "complaining about boredom" is a lie, then you've never been bored at one particular moment in your life? That's hardly plausible.

Ofcourse I have been bored, I just don't whine about it over the internet.

[Canadian Crippler]

As most of you know, I'll be out the next 2-3 weeks minimum due to a hand injury. I'll see if the gym still lets me in to do legs and cardio but I doubt it. I've designed an ab, legs and cardio routine for myself for the time being. Very light. So today was "legs"

December 21 2004
"Legs"

Free Squats:
100
100
100
-----Could barely walk after 2nd and 3rd set, wow what a burn this gives you-----

Free Lunges:
50
-----Hate these...-----

Toe Jumps:

50
-----Very good, but while I'm doing them it feels like someone is taking a hammer and smashing my shins :bash: -----

[Zearoth]

It's good to see that you're at least doing something while you're with the injury. Let's hope they'll let you in the gym!

[Stephen Riddington]

Good God, you two crack me up. Have you two heard of IM, or you two too bored, and decided to post whore to make things interesting??? :D

Good leg work, like Zearoth says, at least you got something done despite your injury.

[Zearoth]

Lol, Homer.

He's the troublemaker, lol. :D

[rookiebldr]

Sorry to hear about he injury Mitch. That totally sucks. Don't worry too much about the routine. Take this as a much needed rest period for your muscles to grow some. Keep the calories and protein up and get huge dude!

dude crippler im so sorry to hear about that injuries blow donkey balls.. but if you want a good plyometric leg w/o i could give you one.. it put me at a 40 inch vert and running a 4.42 40... its hard work but it beats doing what your doing.. let me know if your interested ok..

[Guido]

Zearoth and Crippler. Welcome to the PWG, the Post Whore's Guild.

Crippler, why wouldn't your gym let you in to do legs? Do they discriminate against non curl-jockeys?

[Canadian Crippler]

Brian:
I'll try to hide the cast-like wrap thing on my arm. And you are the one who happens to be a trouble maker in the current applicable situation.

Homer:
Thanks. Well it was nice to have a slow, casual e-argument since I haven't had one in like 2 weeks ;).

Jeff:
I'm really hoping to gain some weight (yes, and fat) since I look like a skinny **** right now IMO. Half of wrestling is the "look", so this will probably help that.

Pizzz:
Yes the plyo's are a good help, thanks.

mase:
Yikes, 4.4 40? I'm surprised some program hasn't gobbled you up yet heh. Yes, I am interested in that plyo routine if you could post it that would be great :).

I doubt they'll let someone with a splint and wrapped hand into the gym. We will see though.

I'd really like to see it. Thanks!

[lilmase1153]

ok heres the program. wish i had pics but il explain best i possibly can ok.... ill give you the 4 week plan to see if you like it ok..

jump ups now these you will do like explsoive squats. go down no more than parralel and than explode up try to get about 12 inches or so off the ground adn repeat so as soon as you hit ground go into parralel and explode again.. now what your trying to concentrate on is the fast twicth muscle here so you really wanna explode on these till you hit your reps...

sinlge leg step up these will require a strudy chair or something like that.. so you out your leg on the chair or whatver and make sure that your quad while on teh chair is parralel to the ground.. now what you do with these is use only the leg on the chair to push yourself up as high as you can get and while in the air switch legs so the one that was on the ground is now on the chair and repeat till your finsihed

thrust ups with these your gonna be standing with knees bent just slightly as not to hurt your knees upon impact. now thrust yourself up using only your calves and as sooon as yo hit the ground immediately thrust yourself up again concentrating on legs being stright and only use of calves in this one.. youll probly only get like 4 inches or soo off the ground but over time it goes up as it works the fast twicth.

calf raises ok these you will need about a 2 inch raise a step or a blcok of wood whatever.. now you will do one leg at a time.. so with the first leg you do the ammount of reps your supposed to and immediately switch legs and begin with the other. as soon as your finished go back to the leg you originally started with and when finished with that do the last leg one last time.. it gives eacch leg about 25-30secs of rest)

burnouts ok stand up and raise heels a little off the ground so only the balls of your feet are touching. and when in taht posistion bounce yourself up no more than 1-2 inches using only calves and repeat for rep scheme

ok heres the 4 week program with how many sets and reps are in each week

jumps ups wk 1 jumps ups wk 2 jumps ups wk 3
(2 sets of 25 ) (1 set of 50 ) (1 set of 75)
jumps ups wk 4
(2 sets of 50)

step ups wk1 step ups wk2 step ups wk3
(2 sets of 15) ( 2 sets of 20) ( 2 sets of25 )
step ups wk 4
(2 sets of 30)

thrust ups wk1 thrust ups wk2 thrust upswk3
( 2 sets of 25 ) (2 sets of 35 ) (2 sets of 45)
thrust ups wk 4
(2 sets of 55)

calf raises wk1 calf raises wk2 calf raiseswk3
( 2 sets of 25 ) ( 2 sets of 30 ) (2 sets of 35)
calf raises wk 4
(2 sets of 40)

burn outs wk1 burn outs wk2 burn outs wk3
(1 set of 100 ) (1 set of 200 ) (1 set of 300)
burn outs wk4
(1 set of 400)

ok on all excercises wheres there is more than 1 set you must rest no more than 2 minutes. if you cannot complete an excersise full rep scheme than break it down with a couple 15 second rests... to get full gains from this you must follow rests and form and try not to cheat as it is very easy to in this.. when i started this i was kinda new to working out but i gained an inch a week for 8 straight weeks.. oh yeah almost forgot these are tp be performed m-f so five days a week... good luck if you have any questions let me know and ill do my best to answer them

[lilmase1153]

you better be happy cause this took me a long time.....

[Canadian Crippler]

Awesome mase!!! I'm gonna do this even after I get back to the gym, vert is very important for me.

Is it ok if I do 4 times a week? Again, thanks a bunch buddy.

[Canadian Crippler]

Thursday December 23, 2004

Today I did the plyometrics outlines by lilmase. I'm really likin these. The height one gets on the one-legged chair jumps is pretty wicked.

One-legged calf raises were super iffy for me. I couldn't keep my balance so I switched it to two-legged with double the volume. Mase, is this alright?

Anyways, I did "week 1" of what mase outlined here: http://wannabebigforums.com/showpost.php?p=953828&postcount=583

[Alke]

dam, count me in....I dont have acces to a gym and I should be doing something.

[Stephen Riddington]

lilmase, can this be included with my leg session, or should it have it own day??? Cuz I would love to find ways to make my legs stronger.

We should start a clan, call ourself "The Plyometrics". ;)

lilmase says to do it 5 times a week. I'll have to gauge it based on my legs feel day to day but from his results I am definately trying for 5 times a week.

[PizDoff]

I am so doing that tonight!
Fear my flying back kick!!!!

(Hip a bit hurt from yesterday but we'll see!)

[lilmase1153]

nice a lot of you trying this. i promise you if done right you will be ahppy with the results... merry christmas crippler

[Canadian Crippler]

Pizdoff don't make me give you the peoples elbow.

And merry christmas to you too mase, and everyone who reads this journal!

[PizDoff]

I'm going to open all presents with an eleven-foot pole. Ten might not do it.

[Canadian Crippler]

Cool!

Some pics: http://wannabebigforums.com/showthread.php?t=57525

[Guido]

Wow, Cripp. You've made HUGE progress! Much thicker overall and especially in arms and chest. Your back pics look just like mine. Keep at it and you'll be massive in no time.

[Alke]

nice work crippler!!!!!

pics look thicker, keep eating, dam your already at 5000+ caloreis arent you?

[Canadian Crippler]

Guido:
Thanks man! I was gonna take new pics in March but I think I'll expand that to April now that I'm off for awhile.

Alke:
Thanks!!!!! Yea I am "bulking" at 5000, but since I'm currently not working out and also very reliant on others to make some of my food (one hand :() I'm lucky to hit 4k.

[PizDoff]

For jump ups above....

Please explain some thoughts on:
1. Why to only parallel in jump ups?
2. Weighted? Not weighted?

I did some weighted ones last night.

[Canadian Crippler]

lilmase does em' weighted. I don't, I should, I can't.

[Chubrock]

Saw the pics man. AWESOME work. Ya lookin much much thicker, at least to me. Wish I was that lean.....

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks man.

[Coke]

You are young...that is the bottom line, so you cannot have a finished type of physique that older guys have but I give you much props...that is one hard body and in a short while may be one of the best around - good pics!!

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks for the critique and kind words!

Well I've been one lazy ass lately. Crappy sleeping schedule, no exercise, and **** all diet. Tommorow = revamp.

Hey, man. The holidays will do that to you. Maybe the week off for rest is just what you need, though. I know I'm looking forward to getting back into it, though.

[Alke]

did your plyometrics today yet?

[Canadian Crippler]

I'm such an *******. I've still done **** all, and I woke up at 5:00 PM today. Arph, I'll start the plyo's again today and fix everything up by tommorow.... I hope.

[Guido]

Wow. How did you manage to sleep so late?

[Canadian Crippler]

Played with myself 3 times.













;). Playing poker online 'till 3:30 AM or so.

[Alke]

heh.



you better not turn into a lazy ass, if I can do HIIT you can do plyometrics.

I suck at card games.

[PizDoff]

The Christmas break is to catch up on your sleep.

*Cough*
Right.

[Chubrock]

HAHA, just admit it man, you love bein' lazy.

Did the plyometrics, some stretching, and neckwork. Woke up very very late AGAIN so diet still stinks.

1 week until the visit to the hand specialist; I still feel some strain :(.

Might change up plyo routine to include depth jumps and some other stuff, not sure yet.

[ryuage]

keep at it crippler! hopefully the hand heals up fast.

[Stephen Riddington]

LMAO at this.

Crippler, you have way too much time on your hand. But keep it up. :)

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks ryu, man,


LMAO at this.

Crippler, you have way too much time on your hand. But keep it up. :)Yes, and isn't it ironic that CanadianCrippler is crippled?

[Nito]

Yes, and isn't it ironic that CanadianCrippler is crippled?


Lol.

[Guido]

Where you been, Crippy?

[Canadian Crippler]

Eating :p.

[lilmase1153]

whats up crippler... how them plyos going man.. and hows that injured wrist i think it is?? anyways man take care bro

[Canadian Crippler]

Everything's good! About to do the plyo's actually.

[rookiebldr]

Eating :p.

good, as you should be. Time to be 180.

[Chubrock]

You best be eating if ya wanna catch up with me LOL. JK buddy.

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks dudes. I want to be 200lbs by Jun 21, 2005. That's about 1.5lbs a week. But my diet won't be in order until I can get this cast off. I think I can hit this goal, though by the time I'm 190 I bet I'll need something crazy like 7000 cals to gain at that rate.

[Canadian Crippler]

Plyo's were good, I suck at these calf raises. Diet stunk again.

[ryuage]

whats so bad about the diet, eat up and eat everything! :)

[Coke]

Want to see you with it - go for it bro...200lbs at 16 is mean, lol.

[Canadian Crippler]

ryuage:
It's really hard for me to cook with one hand. I can't even mix the oil in my natty without getting messy.

CoCoa:
I'm thinking if I do hit 200lbs, my bench would be more than 225. I want most of it to be LBM, though I don't mind if some is fat yet I rarely do put on fat. My long term goals are alot bigger and will require alot more dedication that these though; Bench press of 415 by the end of high school. I'd be more than happy with 350 though.

[Stephen Riddington]

Cocoa is right, 200lbs at 16 is downright nasty. You gonna be one huge mofo.

[Chubrock]

Geez buddy, you better not get to 200. You'll be down right SICK, and then I'll have to refer to ya as sir lol.

[Canadian Crippler]

Well by the time I'm 16 near 17, as long as BF doesn't go to high I could go for 230-250. That would be awesome :D.

SETBACK: I weighed in at "156" on the school scales. It's 4 lbs off, so that means I'm 5lbs less than before the break :(. Keeping in mind my bulk and water consuption was little at the time, but still I'm sure I lost something. Oh well, I'm hitting 200 no matter what!

Did the plyos today.

[Canadian Crippler]

Tommorow I get diagnosis on my hand. I pray, I truely truely pray I can start lifting again.

I've upped my goals to 245 for a bench single and 285 for a squat single. I feel I can hit these goals provided I recover fast from this injury and don't fall through any other setbacks.

[Chubrock]

You'll get it buddy. I've got a feelin ya strengths gonna explode once ya get back to lifting.

[Guido]

Hope the hand diagnosis is good, man. I think a good goal for the DL would be 300 for now. You lost five lbs? That sucks. How many cals have you been eating? I'll hopefully be 160 naked by the end of next week.

[Canadian Crippler]

Ok. a story, some good news, some bah news, and some more bah news.

Story:
The doctor removed the cast and confirmed a torn ligament at the joint of my thumb and hand. He said it is partially healed now. I am strained when bending my thumb far back and far forward. He says it takes 8 weeks total to heal, I'm down about 3 so 5 to go!

Good news:
I can lift again! Doing back today.

Bah news:
No presses of any kind for sure. I need to focus on gripping with my 4 fingers and almost nothing with my thumb; if I can do this succesfully I can lift heavy and regularely for everything. If not, I must go light and possibly cut out some other exercises. There POSSIBLY goes my deadlift newbie gains.

Bah news:
Can't wrestle for 5 more weeks.

Overall I'm happy with this news, I was sure last night I would be stuck in another cast for awhile. I can where this little removable velcow cast during the day and take it off when lifting. I want to keep it on though, it's very small and if it doesn't intefere with my lifts it will help keep my finger secure.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chubs:
Heh, I should be keeping it light atleast for the next couple of weeks. And all I can do for shoulder's is upright rows and shrugs, lol.

Guido:
300 would be a good goal, but that depends on if I can work heavy from now. I know my bench goal is going to suffer, hell I'll be more than happy to hit 2pps now!

Deadlifts

10x135
9x185
3x205

Oh jesus ****in' christ. This SUCKED. I cannot grip with my injured hand well, so anything more than 1pps surely just slipped through my hands. I think I could have done the 205 for 7-9 reps, if not surely more than a triple! I'm gonna have to try singles for awhile since a) can't grip for excessive reps b) I keep worrying about my thumb and not paying attentions of sticking my hips out, heels through the floor, etc.

Pullups
10xBW
7xBW
7xBW
6xBW

Meh, -10lbs but my ROM owned and my hand had no inteference here. I got this headache after the 1st set, and my bis and traps started killing me!

DB Rows
10x55
9x70
9x75
5x80 (+5W)

I thought I was doing 80 before... ended up I was only doing 75. So a PR indeed. These were nasty however. The ache in my head went away after the 2nd set so cheers to that. Pulling with my right side was fine, but more grip problems with the left. After regripping 3-6 times each set, I managed to pull up the same numbers but wow was it a hastle.

Seated Cable Row
7x150
5x150
6x150

These stunk. ROM was horrid.

Decline Weighted Crunches
12xBW
12x20

12x40

I like em'. Just trying out diff. weights right now.

Captain's Chair
12xBW
12x20
12x30
12x40

Last set was pretty tough. Is this what htis exercise is called? It's like the hanging leg raise only your set up like in a chair without a seat.

And overall crappy session. Form was off at many parts, ROM sucked at some parts, and weight was pathetic at points. I'll credit it one ting though; my back feels worked like a mofo.

Comments and critique welcome and appreciated!

[Nito]

Those headaches happened to me too, I'd bet your not breathing properly on your excercises, try to focus on breathing. Also what your doing could be to strenous, I made a thread about those headaches which are called Excercise Induced Headaches a while back, and got some useful information on them, search for that thread, it may help, because those headaches get worse if you don't fix what your doing wrong.

[rookiebldr]

Looks like a great workout to me all things considered with that hand not gripping properly. Don't push it, you definitely want the hand to heal cause you ain't wrestling with injuries.

Nice job done.

[Canadian Crippler]

Josh:
Looked into it, all I saw was for breathiing. I'm getting a headache again now, I think it's just me today.

Jeff:
I made a big mistake working heavy on my first day back, with a partial injury. My next 3 sessions (shoulders/bis, legs, chest/tri) will all be lighter.

[lilmase1153]

keep truckin bro and if you feel like your pushin it too hard just chill.. good luck with your goals man

[Guido]

Everything looked pretty good to me considering it's your first day back. Great job on those DB rows but too bad about those DL's. You'll get there, man!

[Zearoth]

Nice work on your first day back. damn, you must have strong abs there. Where do you hold the plates?

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks everyone!

Brian, I held it on my collarbone.

[Chubrock]

Good lookin workout man. Don't go pushin yourself TOO hard and end up ****in your hand up again. Everything will heal in time and you'll be back to kickin ass shortly.

[ryuage]

great to see you back ina ction, but be careful not to injure yourself and end up having to take a longer recovery then you originally would have to.

[Zearoth]

Oh. Now I see, you;re doing crunches. I do full sit-ups. I only use the 10lb weights right now.

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks guys, I wear my little cast still so I basically cannot re-injure it. Just my grip with it sucks and it's quite a distraction.

Brian I'm doing situps dude. Though it makes no difference once you pass the sticking point anyways.

[Den Fisher]

Thanks dudes. I want to be 200lbs by Jun 21, 2005. That's about 1.5lbs a week. But my diet won't be in order until I can get this cast off. I think I can hit this goal, though by the time I'm 190 I bet I'll need something crazy like 7000 cals to gain at that rate.

Damn 7k?

I don't know how much I'm getting in anymore, as I don't keep track.. as I should be. But I keep gaining so it's all good.

It's also gettin' annoying walking around school with my pants unbuttoned and halfway unzipped. Just had to go buy 2 new pairs today.

Keep at it man!

[Zearoth]

Brian I'm doing situps dude. Though it makes no difference once you pass the sticking point anyways.

Well it does say crunches in your journal entry... I don't understand how you think its just as easy. I find it much harder since you're going through an extended motion.

[Canadian Crippler]

Den:
Lol. At 5000 I still haven't gotten a gut. If you're unaware, I injured my hand and couldn't lift for 3 weeks. I still can't for another 5, but I can do some light work. You're gonna p00n me on everything now, lol. And yes, I predict I'll need 7000 by the time I'm at or near 200lbs.

Brian:
Yes it might be harder, but not more beneficial since you have to drop the volume for an extended motion that doesn't matter.

[rookiebldr]

w00t!!! go for the 200! Be a monster. :)

[Focused70]

:(

it's only 5 short weeks, dude.

just focus on my Star Wars countdown and all will be well. Only 129 more days to go! lol.

D00d! I thought that was high school is all about :hump:

Crippy: 7,000 cals seems way high for 200lbs. You'd get up to 300 at that rate, even with all the lifting and cardio.

[Canadian Crippler]

Well I'm getting 5000cals @ 165lbs gaining no more than 2lbs a week. When I was 150, 3000cals made me gain about 1.5lbs a week.

[Nito]

7 K cals a day would be sweet, I wish I could do that, so you gonna post today's workout? :)

[Chubrock]

Alright shrimp, get that hand fixed so you can keep up. NAH, just messin wit ya man. I got pick on ya now while I can. Here shortly you're gonna be hhyyooggee.

7000 cals a day, I wish i had the money to support that. :(

[Guido]

Yeah man I'd be flat broke. I'd literally eat myself out of house and home.

[PizDoff]

Kids these days.

[Canadian Crippler]

7000 cals? I said WHEN I'm near 200 I MIGHT need something AROUND 7000 cals. Everyone getting so overzealous in here! ;)

Josh:
Moooo.

Chubs:
One day at a time, my quotable e-buddy.

ryu:
That's what BCC did or so I heard. That would be nuts though.

Guido:
Yeah, I really hate it though. I don't really care much for food and eating, so I'd prefer a slow metabolism since it would suit me well.

Homz:
Lol, cheers to me being in high school :D.

Guido:
Well my grocery bill (paid for by my mommy :p) @ 5000 cals is about $300-$400 CAD a month, so it wouldn't be TOO much.

Squats
10x95
10x135
10x165
8x185
4x205
2x225

Very happy with this. Today I did not work to my full potential, as I wanted to slowly get back into it seeing as this is my first legs session in about a month. Also, this is my first time doing squats in a rack (I've always used Smith). I've decided to increase my ROM a bit aswell, I feel going a little below parallel really does "it" for me.

Leg Curls
8x110
9x110
5x120

Pretty good, still not what I was doing before but I wasn't expecting that.

Standing Calf Raises (3sec hold @ positive and negative)
14x300
12x300
12x300

Good. I believe this is a PR, if not then atleast equal to last month's. :)

BB Shrugs
10x135
10x155
10x155

Missed Shoulders/Bis yesterday due to hyooge DOMS, so I threw this in. Done light due to faulty grip (injured hand).

Decline Situps
10x35
7x40
5x40

First and for most, Brian you are right about the extended ROM. Anways, did these on a bigger decline so they we're harder. Felt em' strong though.

Captain's Chair
12x40
6x50
7x50

Grr, don't really like these all that much. Might try hanging next time.

[Zearoth]

Nice squats bruh!

[TTT]

I'll say. Especially for a 15 year old! Good work man.

[Coke]

Great leg session...like them squats bro, got 225 already - :thumbup:

[Stephen Riddington]

Nice session, especially with the squats.

[ryuage]

great squat session, its surprising how much more an inch or two feels on them eh

[rookiebldr]

Most excellent leg day Mitch. Nice squating and making me feel like a pansy. :swear:

[Canadian Crippler]

Chubs:
Thanks! It feels like a much more natural movement, to tell you the truth I failed on the 9th rep of 185 because I leaned forward too much. I guess I gotta focus on my form alot more now that I have to actually balance the weight.

Bri-Yan!:
Thanks bro!

TTT:
Thanks, I try :D.

CoCoa:
Well my smith max is 255, I'd think once I get used to the movement here my regualr squat max will be the same.

Homz:
Thanks buddy.

ryu:
For sure buddy, that extra inch really makes you go :eek: . I might try ATF next time, see how that works out.

Jeff:
Lol, you're not a pansy until I squat more than you. So that gives you... 2 months? ;) j/k, thanks for the reply!

[rookiebldr]

:withstupid Better make the goal 315 this year.

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks you two.

I'm actually staying away from goals right now, I feel I am compremising form, ROM, and safety just to keep my numbers moving along (SOME exercises). For the next few weeks at minimum I just want to concentrate on the lift at hand, not what I did last week or what I want to do next week.

Chest/Tricep

Workout:
repsXweight
BB Bench Press
10x95
10x135
7x155
4x155
5x155
3x155

Pretty good. This is roughly 10lbs less than what I usually push, which is ok since I haven't done chest in 2 days short of 1 month. I have really bad stamina, I die out so quick!

Incline DB
10x35
5x45

Don't really like these after heavy benching, and I don't think it's really neccasary since shoulders basically have there own day. Might do some flat instead, maybe stick with DB flies.

DB Flies
Now this, this was weird. I used 5lbs less per DB because it's first session back, and my right elbow kept bending awkwardly causing me to drop the DB. Some guy looks at me and tells me it's too much weight. So I try again with the same weight, and own the 1st rep. Guy goes "there ya go.." and then the same problem happens with the 2nd. I don't know wtf was going on but I hope it's better next time.

Dips
7xBW
7xBW
5xBW

Pretty good. This aswell is 10 lbs less than from 1 month ago, and is understandable.

I was dead at this point, so just played around for the next 30 minutes. Did about 6 sets of pushdows (different machine however), then did some kickbacks ( :D ) and machine flies. God do those machine flies suck.

Was doing decline crunches, and I accidentally farted LOUD right beside some dude doing hypers. He started cracking up, luckily no chicks were around.

[Stephen Riddington]

good session, but it's totally normal for having a not neccesssarily a weak session after being away from the gym, especially after recovering from the injury.

LOL@ the gas explosion. :)

[TTT]

HAHA! That's some funny sh** man.
Oh yeah, and about those machine flyes, I actually find some machines work better for me than using dumbells! I don't know how or why, but I guess it just depends on the person. The machine that worked really well for me was at my uni gym (that's a long way away from where I am now). It had swing-out arms with grips on the ends, instead of fixed pads.
Anyway, good work dude, you're benching more than me and you're only 15!! :whip: I'm sure you'll make it big.

[Chubrock]

Nice workout man. Def. not bad for comin off that injury. Just cuz you're gimp now though, doesn't mean I'm going to let you catch up with me.

[Coke]

...lol at the db flys, it probably all boils down to technique...doing damn good with the benching.

Long time since I've checked in here. Good to see you're still going strong.

Stash:

*Commiserates with Stash*

Justin:

Back

Workout:
repsXweight
Pullups
9xBW
8xBW
6xBW
6xBW

Nothing to be real proud of here. Still not strong enough to get back on weighted pullups. Not bad though.

DB Rows
10x55
8x70
5:6x75
5:6x75

These were done much nicer than last weeks, so it wasn't as heavy. This is about matching what I was at before the injury, which is fine. My left is usually not weaker, if anything it's a little stronger but today was different. Eh, these were good I suppose.

Had to cut the session real short because I had to go for some family dinner. I don't know why I didn't make gains from last week, maybe it's time to switch up the routine or something. This routine was working awesomely for me before, so I really hope everything works out fine.

Comments and critique welcome and appreciated!

[Stephen Riddington]

You cut your session short for some puny familial dinner??? Boooo!!!





JK, man. Still you got some stuff done.

[Canadian Crippler]

[rookiebldr]

Mitch, give it a another week or two and then re-evaluate. The routine has been working thus so it's not time to toss it yet. :)

[Focused70]

Nice job btw.

Stash

[Zearoth]

Chubs:
Haha, actually I missed shoulder/bis AGAIN yesterday because I went to an old friend's house, we went downtown and ate, and then saw WWE RAW live. I did due a few sets of very high incline bench and BB curls at his house though.

Legs

Workout:
repsXweight
Squats
10x135
10x185
5x225 (+3R)
4x225
4x225

Very good. I suck at high reps so I like working like this, and maybe I'll throw in one set of high rep squats afterwards. This is 3 reps more than last time, though this is still 10lbs less than Smith (expected). Also tried some ATF, either I don't like them or I don't like them after squats.

Leg Press
10x3pps
10x5pps
6x6pps (+40W)

This was hyooge!! I haven't leg pressed in over a month now, not to mention these squat sessions are now alot more intense than before. So 40lbs more than my past post-squat leg press record. I coulda pulled out a couple more reps, now I don't know why I didn't try!

Leg Curls / Standing Calf Raises (3sec hold @ positive and negative) / Leg Curls / SCR / Leg Curls
7x120 / 13x300 / 5x110 / 6x300 / 4x110

Had to go, so no time for abs and I had to throw in a superset. This burned like crazy, and is probably the best I coulda done with 2 minutes left in the gym!

randy orton rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stephen Riddington]

Nice leg session, as usual you own me on those depts. :swear:

[TTT]

Haha, you had to take a crap? Was that a comeback? :)

Seriously awesome leg workout. Hopefully I'll catch up to you one day...

[briancurran01]

nice work man...leg press is impressive

[Coke]

nice work man...leg press is impressive

I am impressed as well...doing some good a$$ leg training!!

[Chubrock]

Man don't worry about me havin you on squats. You absolutely own me on leg press. Great lookin session buddy.

[ryuage]

great leg session, squats and leg press looking strong.

[Guido]

Dude, your leg workouts are looking strong! Your squats and leg presses are getting pretty close to mine now, and at 15! You'll be a monster by the time you're my age.

[Canadian Crippler]

lilmase:
Thanks bro, still wanna get to 315 soon though! And yea, Orton is good.

Homz:
Less curls, more squats. :D. Thanks bro.

TTT:
Not a comeback, I was replying but really had to take a poop. Thanks for the props dude.

Bri:
Thanks man, the leg press I use only has room for maybe 3 more pps :rolleyes: .

CoCoa:
Thanks dude.

Chubs:
Thanks! Yeah, but leg presses are always different at different places. On some I'm sure I could do even 7pps, while on some I'd probably work at 5.

ryu:
Thanks dude.

Guido:
Yes, yes I will :). No way I'll catch up to you soon though, as I've said a billion times you're at the prime gaining age.

[lilmase1153]

wheres your w/o Huge....

[Guido]

Crippy: All this talk about prime gaining age. Man, you're hormones are raging right now. Your test levels are about to get as high as they'll ever be. How could I be the prime gaining age? I'm one step from being an old man!

[Focused70]

Everyone knows the 20s are the prime age. One of them anyway. :)

Stash

[Canadian Crippler]

Today will be Chest/Tri/Abs, wednesday is a rest day mase.

Yeah that's true Ryan, but at the same time puberty can be a real b!tch. So yes, this is a good gaining age but it doesn't compare to the 20s as Stash said, especially early to mid.

[briancurran01]

i wish i would have gotten started at my 20s that is where i gained alot of my width...lol but not from lifting...just imagine if i would have been lifting doh i am a dum dum

[Stephen Riddington]

I wish I started earlier, but I'm happy I started now, because I'm slowly getting big. Maki says, my broad shoulders helps alot, makes me look more thicker for my weight.

Chest/Tricep/Abs

Workout:
repsXweight
BB Bench Press
10x95
10x135
10x135
4x165
3x165
3x155

Not too bad. This is a little better than last session. The problem is, this doesn't even come close to the gains I was making before. Dunno what happened with 155, my muscle stamina totally blows! Let's see what happens next session.

Flat DB Press
10x45s
8x55s
7x55s

Haven't done these in over 4 months. I can look at it in two ways: a) it's only 5lbs less than what I was doing 4 months ago, which isn't bad. or b) my bb bench got stronger but my db press didn't. I wanna put up 60s for 8-10 reps next time, let's see.

Dips
9xBW
6xBW

A little better than last session. I'm not feeling these like how I used to, this is another exercise that I'm looking forward to see next session.

Skullcrusher/Pushdown SUPERSET
9x60, 6x60
6x60, 5x55

Jeez, I've been at 60 on skulls for 2 months now. Time for OH DB Extentions.

Decline Crunches
10xBW
7x40
6x40
7x35

I'm really DOMless when I work heavy w/ low reps, I'll probably stick with 30/35 next time.

Comments:

Kinda disappointed, I thought this would be a great session when I walked in. I was 164 lbs today, up from 162 about a week ago. Gonna up my cals to 5500, try this routine out for 1-2 more weeks, and then switch it if my gains still lag.

Comments and critique welcome and appreciated!

[lilmase1153]

not a bad w/o there crippy..

[TTT]

I didn't think it was half bad...
5500 cals eh? Man.... hope your stomach stretches, otherwise it's going to be one hell of a puke-fest :)
Good work dude.

[Chubrock]

Good session bro. You'll get them 60s up next time with no problemo. Just keep thinkin you want to surpass me, and use that as motivation. Oh yea, I almost forgot......Come get some haha.

[Guido]

You're doing all right, man. Considering you're still just getting back into it after a fairly long break. Patience grasshopper.

[Stephen Riddington]

:withstupi

[briancurran01]

Nice work Cripp. Your leg press kicks ass

[Canadian Crippler]

Today was supposed to be back, but couldn't get to the gym. Diet isn't at 5500 yet, I'll be happy to hit 5k today.


mase:
Thanks!

TTT:
And I'm trying it without weightgainer since I'm out till the 22nd or more. This is gonna be tough.

Chubs:
To be honest, WBB is a great motivation to keep me with my diet, and keep me researching... but when I'm actually lifting, it's never on my mind :angel: . Oh yea, one thing... ITS THE CHAIN GANG IN THE HOUSE, WE ROCKIN THIS JOINT WORD LIFE!!! :( :rolleyes:

Guido:
Patience, that's a funny word. I'll give it 2 more weeks then.

Homz:
:hump:

Bri:
Thanks. If so, that's a surely sweet extra! But not the purpose I weightlift :).

TTT:
Lol, it's quite funny you say that because I'm usually thinking of two sweaty men in tights wrestling eachother instead ;).

Stash:
:moon: :hump:
;)

Stack:
Thank's man, it's gettin up there for sure!

[Focused70]

I keep telling ya Mitch, I only like my farts. Any other fart just doesn't cut it. :burger:
