Comments:
Really happy with the maxes. I think that sits me near 300 for regular. Anyways, I was getting so damn pooped after even 1 set of squats that I decided to take it lighter this session and try a max. I've been going HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY on legs for the past 6 weeks I believe, so I guess I needed a break anyway. I was drowned in sweat after doing the leg press, and then it took me 1 minute to catch my breathe atfer the lunges. I was dam surprised how intense my "light" session turned out to be. Leg curls we're such a ****ing burn. Thursday I'm doing some calves and cardio.

[galileo]

ATA - ass to...ass?

[Canadian Crippler]

ankles.

[Guido]

Wow, man. Themz iz some nyce PR's. I'd say you should be at 300 for regulars now, most definitely.

[rookiebldr]

Excellent work, bitch. Your dimensions are getting dangerously close to mine. 14" arms is ace. That's about 3.5" this year? Your chest and leg sizes are mirroring mine too. Don't even think about stopping yet. You've tons of growing to do, son.

[Stephen Riddington]

You still go alot of growing, brother. By the time you hit the frat houses, you'll be a beast.

Terror at the grocery store

Today I did a full grocery shopping at the Sobey's near my house, where I usually don't go due to overpriced products with limited selection. However today my mom couldn't drive too far out. What a terrible place this is.

This first comes evident when I go to choose my bananas. Now I usually buy 1 pair yellow/brown, then 2-3 pairs still green (too last me a week). However as I walk over to the banana stand all I find are really squishy, brown disgusting bananas. What type of absolute moron would actually even consider purchasing these is beyong me. So I rip open the boxes under the stand and find some decent one's, and put them in my trolly.

Next we have Mr. "I'm an inconsiderate assjockey and deserve to be thrown off a cliff". The ******* is standing with his stupid green shopping cart CLEARLY in the way of anyone who would want to get buy. So I say "excuse me" quite dominantly, but the ******* is talking and laughing so loud that he can't even hear me. So in almost a yell I again tell him excuse me, and he moves his cart into the next aisle... THE SAME GOD DAMN ****ING AISLE I WAS PLANNING ON GOING IN AFTER I PASSED THIS MOTHER ****ER. Gawd, didn't take him too long to realize he was STILL in the way and off he moves.

Now I'll move on to the bitch with the big useless purse. First things first, why on earth do old 60 year old woman carry around purses that are big enough to store food for a family of 5? What on earth could someone as useless as herself be holding in there? By the fact that this IS a jewish grocery store, and this whore clearly has never worked a day in her life, her husband MUST be a sucessful lawyer or doctor. Is she really spending THAT much cash of his? Anyways, this bitch is trying to rush through the crowd in the fruit aisle and she knocks me right in the nuts with this floppy purse of hers. She notices what she did, and it is obvious because I am holding my nuts with what I believe would be quite the obscure look on my face. So what does she do about it? She continues to speed walk right by, with a quick "sorry" in her lame ass ****ing monotome jewish mother voice. Sorry? You're ****ing sorry? How about I shove that 30lb purse up your 200lb fat gifelte-fished ass and then we'll see who's sorry. ****ing whore.

But it's not over yet. The grocery store seems to have a different electrical charge on their shopping carts versus the shelves. So everytime I would touch my cart, I would get a shock if I touched the ****ign shelves to get my food off of. Worked vice-versa as well. I must have shocked myself 20 times while there, and I observed half the other customers going through the same ****. I don't know what the **** it is, but I should have gotten a discount for that.

And the worst part.... THOSE ****ING IDIOTS DIDN'T HAVE ANY GOD DAMN PLAIN ****ING CHEESE PIZZA! They must have had 12 different types of pizza's that no one who consider's themselves human would actually ever eat, yet they couldn't even carry 1 ****ing cheese pizza. What a bunch of turds.

[Matt04]

hahahah thats some funny ****. dont u hate the people who only care about themselves and could not give a **** about anyone else.

Atleast u got some good bananas.



hahahaha family of 5. lol

Comments:
Deads were good. 315 was fully locked out this time and almost got a 2nd rep. Everything else sucked. Could barely grip the BB rows, and couldn't even keep my elbows in with the bar. I can never get my elbows in, I'm starting to believe my body just won't allow it. Cut short on time because I had to wait 20 mins to use the power rack, and then being all pissed off about the ****ty BB rows really got to me. Overall a crappy session, with DLs being pretty good.

[Zearoth]

Ehh...dopn't sweat it we all get out crappy days once in awhile. Maybe you're just getting used to the new routine change so just be patient and you'll adjust.

[mrelwooddowd]

I can't believe how much weight you've gained. I think when I joined WBB in late November, you were something like 150? Ace job!

After my deads, I give myself a few minutes to let the grip cool down, and then I do the bent over dumbell rows. Being a "one arm at a time" movement, I can concentrate a bit more on grip, and by the second set, my grip is usually feeling better. I do the barbell rows next, and seem to be doing ok with that arrangement. Barbell rows are new to me (only two workouts so far), and my lats are aching like I've never hit them before. Like you mentioned, I'm hitting the biceps during rows as well, so I may need to check the form a bit.

[Matt04]

awesome session man, deads look good.

10 more lb's untill ya goal on DL's, ull get it easy!

[Hockey66]

Don't sweat it, we all have our crappy days.

[rookiebldr]

Who the **** cares about the rest of the workout, you got 315 on DEADS! Awesome work there bitch! You should be on cloud nine now! Next stop, 405!

[Focused70]

:bow: natch.

Wait till you get to 17... :bow:

*sigh*

Stash

[Stackattack]

Awesome deads crippy. Don't sweat it about the BB rows. Just stick with it. I always do my rows first just because after doing deads my grip is often so fried there is really no point in me doing them doing them. Oh yeah. If you haven't already, get your self some chalk. It helps a lot.

[Canadian Crippler]

Mr. Elwood: I think you'll hit your bi's no matter what you do. I just can't keep my elbows in! Not even with the 45lb bar. It's crazy weird.

Stackhole: Yes, I need chalk badly!

Everyone Else: Thanks. Closing in on my DL goal indeed!

Dude, you need to up that goal for July cause you're gonna own it in the next session or two. Good work.

As if the grocery rant didn't already?

J/K Crippy. People are all no-talent assclowns. Just wait till you start driving, then you'll see a whole new level of stupid.

315 on them thar deady's old boy? Doesn't it feel like the shiz to lift that 3pps? Looks like you'll hit that deadz goal by May. Better reset those goals and make it 350 or even 360 by July.

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks everyone!

Hockey and Guido: Yes, seems like I've destroyed that DL goal yet I have made no progress towards my bench goal. ARGH. And yes, 315 feels very nice and since I go to a loser gym most people are quite impressed by it.

Homz: Pfffft. My whining is what put Canada on the map, son.

Yesterday's session

Monday April 18, 2005
--Push


Workout:

BB Bench Press
12x135
6+1x165
7x155
6+1x155

Tried a narrower grip this time (almost an inch closer) because I feel my grip is too wide. Dunno if that's why my bench stayed the same, we'll see next week. I suck at this :(

Incline Bench
10x115 (+3R)
7x125 (+10W)
6+1x115 (+10W)

This went very well. For me, anyways.

Tricep Dips
7xBW
9xBW (+2R)
6xBW

Placed a white tissue on both dip bars and it really helped me from slipping off (which I have had trouble with in the past). These were awesome with teh afterburn on the tri's. :)

Close-Grip Bench Press
10x95 (+1R)
6+1x105

A gains a gain I guess...

OH DB Press
6x35s
6x35s
6x35s
4x35s

This really sucked! I technically got 8 reps on the first set, but I don't remember if they were smooth or not so I'll call them 6 (aka no gain). And to think I was doing these with 45s fresh 3 months ago. I just can't seem to do **** on OH Presses after all that heavy chest and killing of the triceps.


Comments:
Overall not a bad session at all.

I might do Chest&Tri/Back&Bi/Leg/Deadlifts&Shoulders split. We will see after 1 or 2 more weeks of this.

Brian decided to start a fight with me before the session started. Basically what happened was my mom said she would take us to the gym at 5:00. I wanted to be home for 9:00 and yes, Brian was aware of this. So he says we'll go at 7:00, and that he can bring and I'll pick up. So I say fine. 7:00 comes around, and no Brian. So I call him at 7:30 and he's still at his friends house recording something for a project. This is fine, but why couldn't he tell me in advance that he might not be ready for 7:00?

Brian ends up coming at 8:30, which means I won't be home for even close to 9:00 but I just said whatever because he was doing school work. I ask him "Brian, why would you tell me 7:00 when it was 8:30? Why couldn't you tell me it would be later?". He then responds that he told me he would come at 8:00, and that I should get my own ride if I want to go earlier or use the bus. This ticked me off because I DID have my own ride, but I said I would wait for him till 7:00 so we could workout together. I explain that to him and he starts complaining about how I made him wait 15 minutes once when he came to pick me up. Yea, he did wait 15 minutes. That's because he called me from his car saying "I'll be there in 5 minutes" while I was still sleeping in my boxers. How does he expect me to get up, change, wash my face, bring my dog out, prepare my workout stuff, and make my gatorade shake in 5 minutes?

It gets even worst though, because in the whole 9th grade Brian took us (the clique) to places a total of ZERO times. But we never complained, because I'm sure it wasn't his fault. We (the clique) don't complain about having to take ways dozens and dozens of times for 1 whole year, but Brian complains that I kept him waiting for 15 minutes once. I guess he also feels he now has the right to lie to me about timing.

[Stephen Riddington]

The reason you think it was a weak session is because you're going lower than you normally do on the presses. The muscles are too used to having you benching to a certain point, when you go lower than the point, the muscles doesn't recognize that, thus it feels heavier pushing it back up. I believe it's a good thing, gives them a shock. Overall, I think you did a great session.

[Guido]

[Coke]

The push session does not look bad to me at all...one day you will do some leapfrogging with this (trust me).

[Canadian Crippler]

Homer, that might be the reason... hmm

Guidio, you are one crazy mofo!

Cokie, leapfrogging? Hehe, sounds cool to me.


Some pics:
1) A bicep shot, seems my arms have grown atleast a bit!
2) Everyday Mitch, unflexed though I am sticking my chest out more than usual. I need to work on looking big when not flexing!
3) Lat spread with shirt on. Can't really see much, and the shirt doesn't really stay tight enough to show much shape. but yeah.

[ILL_Mitch]

nice, looking good. A little fat, but good. :p

[Guido]

Guidio, you are one crazy mofo!

Yeah. And I'm 27. Can you believe it?

Nice pics. At your house? I'd say bi's look good but tri's are lagging comparatively. More dips and CG bench!

[getfit]

holy **** you grew! you remind me of that young mexican actor who played in "Y mama tu tabien" :p (not sure if that's spelled correctly)

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks Illist Mitch

Yeah Guido, my tri's REALLY REALLY suck. I've decided to hit them pretty hard with 11 sets of chest/shoulder presses and 5 sets dips/cgbp a week. We'll see how that works.

Haha sylvia, MEXICAN? My mom's indian and my dad's white, not sure how I look like a mexican!

Weight sucked ass today. I came home at around 3:45 and slept until 8:00, then I called Brian as soon as I woke up and he was there to pick me up in 5 minutes. Had no energy and was still sleepy (sleepyness went away though). Lunges, didn't push myself too hard as this session was so damn intense. Not happy with the weights, but to say this is a bad session in terms of hypertrophy would be a lie.

[Canadian Crippler]

Here's my big ass (and a big shlong too :D). My ass actually usually looks even bigger.

[Zearoth]

Wow. Why the hell did you you put my birthday right beside "bigpackage"?

All the fat seems to be going to your buttocks.

You were just tryin to show off your schlong man. Admit it, you were tryin to coax Guido's wife into lettin you handle that for awhile haha. Pics are lookin good tho man.

[Stephen Riddington]

LOL at the comments. You're such an attention slut, Mitch. :D

Good session, bro and the pics are showing you're coming along nicely. The guns are looking sweet, like Guido says, you can develop it better by working on your tris.

I explain that to him and he starts complaining about how I made him wait 15 minutes once when he came to pick me up. Yea, he did wait 15 minutes. That's because he called me from his car saying "I'll be there in 5 minutes" while I was still sleeping in my boxers. How does he expect me to get up, change, wash my face, bring my dog out, prepare my workout stuff, and make my gatorade shake in 5 minutes?

It gets even worst though, because in the whole 9th grade Brian took us (the clique) to places a total of ZERO times. But we never complained, because I'm sure it wasn't his fault. We (the clique) don't complain about having to take ways dozens and dozens of times for 1 whole year, but Brian complains that I kept him waiting for 15 minutes once. I guess he also feels he now has the right to lie to me about timing.

Yesterday's session

Monday April 18, 2005
--Push


Workout:

BB Bench Press
12x135
6+1x165
7x155
6+1x155

Tried a narrower grip this time (almost an inch closer) because I feel my grip is too wide. Dunno if that's why my bench stayed the same, we'll see next week. I suck at this :(

Incline Bench
10x115 (+3R)
7x125 (+10W)
6+1x115 (+10W)

This went very well. For me, anyways.

Tricep Dips
7xBW
9xBW (+2R)
6xBW

Placed a white tissue on both dip bars and it really helped me from slipping off (which I have had trouble with in the past). These were awesome with teh afterburn on the tri's. :)

Close-Grip Bench Press
10x95 (+1R)
6+1x105

A gains a gain I guess...

OH DB Press
6x35s
6x35s
6x35s
4x35s

This really sucked! I technically got 8 reps on the first set, but I don't remember if they were smooth or not so I'll call them 6 (aka no gain). And to think I was doing these with 45s fresh 3 months ago. I just can't seem to do **** on OH Presses after all that heavy chest and killing of the triceps.


Comments:
Overall not a bad session at all.

I might do Chest&Tri/Back&Bi/Leg/Deadlifts&Shoulders split. We will see after 1 or 2 more weeks of this.

Brian decided to start a fight with me before the session started. Basically what happened was my mom said she would take us to the gym at 5:00. I wanted to be home for 9:00 and yes, Brian was aware of this. So he says we'll go at 7:00, and that he can bring and I'll pick up. So I say fine. 7:00 comes around, and no Brian. So I call him at 7:30 and he's still at his friends house recording something for a project. This is fine, but why couldn't he tell me in advance that he might not be ready for 7:00?

Brian ends up coming at 8:30, which means I won't be home for even close to 9:00 but I just said whatever because he was doing school work. I ask him "Brian, why would you tell me 7:00 when it was 8:30? Why couldn't you tell me it would be later?". He then responds that he told me he would come at 8:00, and that I should get my own ride if I want to go earlier or use the bus. This ticked me off because I DID have my own ride, but I said I would wait for him till 7:00 so we could workout together. I explain that to him and he starts complaining about how I made him wait 15 minutes once when he came to pick me up. Yea, he did wait 15 minutes. That's because he called me from his car saying "I'll be there in 5 minutes" while I was still sleeping in my boxers.

Nice story. :lurk:

[Stephen Riddington]

ooooooh, another episode of the wbb's soap opera. :D *munches on popcorn*


Very good couple of sessions. Dude, very impressed with the weights you're lifting.

[Coke]

Liked the entire push sets...try doing less initial reps on your bench work, just my take - otherwise fine stuff.

[Guido]

Dude, Crippy, how come your cloe grip bench is so much lower than your regular bench? I can do almost as much close grip as I can regular. Perhaps you should stick with the wider grip on the regular bench so you use less of your tri's so they won't be so burned out by the time you get to your close grips.

[galileo]

I require food. :(

[Focused70]

Blue Valkyrie needs food badly!

[Canadian Crippler]

Liked the entire push sets...try doing less initial reps on your bench work, just my take - otherwise fine stuff.There are other warmup sets that I don't list. xbar, x95 and x115. The 12 repper isn't hard, but yea the next 3 sets are almost all to failure. Is this bad?


Dude, Crippy, how come your cloe grip bench is so much lower than your regular bench? I can do almost as much close grip as I can regular. Perhaps you should stick with the wider grip on the regular bench so you use less of your tri's so they won't be so burned out by the time you get to your close grips.Maybe you're flaring your elbows out? Dunno, keep in mind I'm still on BW dips while you are up to BW+70. My triceps are quite weak.

I'm also fully focused on gaining size now, so numbers aren't that important to me as opposed to intensity and hitting the muscle groups hard every session. I believe benching with a closer grip will do a fair bit for my tricep development, which is very lacking.

[Guido]

Nope. Not flaring the elbows. I keep them right at my sides. Yes, I suppose that working that close grip more will only help your tri's, which will in turn help out with your regular bench. Work dem tri's, foo! :whip:

[vkefi]

I plateued on my bench a few months back, I started to incorporate heavy arse board presses, and hammered my lats. Weights went up quite nicely. Have incorparated slow partials (-) now on chest day, which too, has helped great.

Good luck with upping tEh bench. You look strong as **** in your journal, maybe even a play around with your form ?

[Canadian Crippler]

I'm weak, not strong :(. Oh wait, I had a good leg day. I'm strong once again!!! :p

Wednesday April 27, 2005
--Legs


Workout:

Front Squats
10x135
8x155
7x165
7x165

Regular squats were becoming nothing but a chore. I DREADED doing them. On Thursdays I would say, "****! 6 more days until I have to squat :(". The day of squatting I'd try to find excuses as to why I can't squat or can't go to the gym, but I'd always go through with it anyways. It's made my legs nice and buff, but I'm just too sick of it now. So Front Squats are in for 6-12 weeks, then I might return to regular squats again (MIGHT!).

These went pretty well. Half of the reps were basically ass to ankles, some were not. All were definitely past parallel. This made my delts SORE AS HELL. It felt like how my traps felt after the first time squatting. It hurt, and it was damn fun. I really like this exercise, it's like juggling but with more benefits :D. Weight is quite low because keeping elbows above ground angle is damn hard! I'll need to get the numbers up higher if I plan to have the same "burn" I get when doing regular squats. This really burned up my core; I like that.

Leg Press
14x5pps (+2R)
6x6pps (+2R)
4x6pps --> 6x4pps

This went well. I've done 6 plates for 6 before but my ROM wasn't like this. When I tried ROM like this I only got 3 or 4 reps. Last set, I was trying to make sure my knees didn't flare out and I actually caused them to flare IN; was a huge ass struggle to complete the rep!

DB Lunges
12x55s (+2R)
9x60s (+5Ws)
5x60s

Good! Still not at Guido's level though.

Lying Leg Curls
1x130
Left Leg ONLY:
12x50
8x50
Right Leg ONLY:
10x30
10x30

I hope I didn't inure my hammie :(. I got this uncanny pain in my right hamstring even from the 1st rep of 130. I think it is from yesterday because I was sleeping awkwardly and woke up with a slight pain in that hammie. Went down to something loserific like 100 and still got the pain. Decided instead of dropping the exercise for today I could work on my left hammie (which is a bit smaller than my right). Finished it off with some very light sets for the right one.

Smith Standing Calf Raises
12x2pps
10x2pps+25s (+1R)
10x2pps+25s (+1R)
8x2pps+25s

Meh.


Comments:
Good session for a weakling like me :). I went to the gym today right after school and I like it a lot more. Now I got the rest of the night to do whatever I want (aka eat) and not worry about lifting and getting to & from the gym.

[Chubrock]

Workout looks good Mitch. I hear ya on the whole squatting thing. After squatting 4 days a week for awhile, I just got burned out on it. Now I'm actually starting to dislike leg day entirely haha.

[Stephen Riddington]

:withstupi

My legs are so darn stubborn, i don't see any improvement, physique-wise compared to the rest of my body.

[Coke]

Doing very well with the legs despite your ordeal with the regular squats, good to see the pr's.

[Canadian Crippler]

I've made a list of what I don't like about my appearance:

- Back Acne
- Chest Acne
- Gynecomastia
- Big ribs which make my chest look tiny
- Thin arms
- The fact that I pack on little muscle no matter what I do

I truly hate my genetics. The first 2 should go away eventually, and if they leave scars I'll need laser treatment. The gyno I will hopefully get surgery for. The ribs will always make my chest look small and make me look skinny (There are surgeries but I'm not willing to get them). Thin arms, I can just hope will fill out.

Makes me depressed when I list all this because then I find people who are so undedicated and eat ~2000 calories a day yet look better than me and have none of those problems I listed.

All I can say is that if someone could prove to me that reincarnation occurs after death, I would most definitely kill myself.

- Mitch

[Guido]

Damz, Crippy. Listening to all your problems really makes me feel good about myself. Thanks! ;)

So front squats, eh? Those have just always just looked wrong to me. And painful on the shoulders and clavicle. I for one like doing regular squats, but hey, whatever you like and as long as it gives you results.

I'm glad your enjoying the DB Lunges. They kick your ass!

[-TIM-]

Keep your chin up Crippler. Nothing ever gets accomplished without a little hard work. The older you get, the less those things will matter too. I mean that in a good way. I used to always stress over my body acne and think others would think mine was gross. It's under control and I a have a few scars, but the big thing I realized with age is that nobody really cares what my skin looks like. They may notice the blemishes, most people have them, but it won't make anybody think less of me. Same goes for you. You will realize there are bigger things to stress about than acne or the size of your rib cage.

[galileo]

Dude - don't worry so much. You're young. Keep at it, it'll all pay off someday. All of your problems are problems that come with being your age.


Oh yeah, and shut the **** up.

[Hockey66]

I hear you on the acne brother. My arms are actually one of my stronger points.

"The fact that I pack on little muscle no matter what I do"

Dude, are you ****ing kidding me? Look at your first pictures compared to your most recent. That is one of the biggest improvements Ive ever seen. I was already fairly big and strong before I even started lifting, you've progressed a TON.

[Nito]

ROFL man, ur to hard on ur self. Just accept it, you can't change it :P

[Stackattack]

Do you want some cheese with your whine?
:withstupi

Its all about the small improvements week by week, session by session. They all add up in the end to make big improvements. so quit your bitching!

[Coke]

You are way too young for that type of outlook, most people feel that way at your age but you are on the right track with the workout sessions...things have a way of changing and going in the direction you like.

[Guido]

Awwww gee wiz, sport. Keep your chin up. You're a strapping young lad with a lot of years left ahead of you to meet girls, cruise the mall, and maybe someday follow in your old man's footsteps and become assistant manager at the big company. So turn that frown upside down and go grab the world by the tail. Go get 'em, tiger!

:D

[Stephen Riddington]

Dude, you're way too ****ing hard on yourself. You're 16, and you have lot of growing to do. Eventually most of your "complaints" will go away as you get older.

Hockey made a point, you did make improvements, tons.

[getfit]

:withstupi i'll deal with mitch once i get up to toronto ;)

[Canadian Crippler]

Guido:
You should feel good about yourself, you're jacked now buddy!
DB Lunges do rule :). And the Front Squats hurt but I like the pain :).

Tim Nissen:
Meh. No matter what these things are gonna matter to me. Atleast for the time being. Let me be young and whiny damnit! ;)

Gal Le Lay Oh:
K.

Hockey:
Whatever. That doesn't mean I don't have bad genetics. But I guess we'll see what happens when I'm older.

Nito:
Yeah, I can.

Stackattack:
Bitching is what I do though!
(p.s. I front squat more than you ;))

Coke:
True dat playa.

Homz:
Yeah, I guess I have improved but not as much as I wanted to.

Sylvia:
*flex* Don't make me beat you up, girly! ;)

--Pull


Workout:

Deadlift
10x135
10x185
8x225
4x275
3x315 (+2R or +10W)
1x325 (+10W)

Nice clean reps.

Pullups
8xBW
6xBW
5xBW

Weight is 185lbs. So basically "+4W" but "-1R". Whatever, they felt awesome.

Seated Cable Row
8x165
6x165
9x150

Hmm, not as strong as I usually am today with these. Didn't do BB Rows today, saving those up for the possibility if I do 2 pulls, 2 pushs and 1 leg per week routine.

Shrugs
10x155
10x155
8x155

Thought this was a PR. Guess not. Felt good.

Bentover Lateral Raises
10x15s (+2R)
8x15s

Sets were much smoother than the ones last week. Last set was done with "slow" negatives that weren't quite that slow, lol.

BB Curls
10x70 (+2R)
6x70

Comments:
Very happy with the session. Finally pulling out PRs in many categories. I had a totally wicked pump today, and I was standing in the "good lighting" area. I swear I looked bigger than Jay Cutler, :p. Everything today felt awesome, and I really enjoyed the session.

Up to 185 lbs. That's 2 or 3 lbs up from last week. My diet has SUCKED this week so I'm not sure how this happened. I was weighing myself on less than 1000 calories too!

Threw in some extra forearms work while waiting for my ride (windups and cable preachers w/ hammer attachment).

[getfit]

hehe mitch! ok i'll let you beat me up this time ;) honestly now! you're doing so well! throwing in new pr's and all be happy my boy! :)

*flexes and they're big* ;)

[Hockey66]

Hyooooooge PRs. You now outweigh me by 5lbs :(

[Matt04]

**** man well done on the PR's. god 185lb, thats heavy.

[Coke]

Pulled off some terrific back work...getting huge, its just meant to be - ;)

[galileo]

Wicked pump for the win!

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks peepers.

Sunday May 1, 2005
--Push


Workout:

BB Bench Press
8x160*
5+1x165
6+1x155

No gains here, again.
*On the 160 set, we accidentally loaded 5lbs less on one side. I was wondering why I was falling off the bench, lol.

Incline Bench
7x125
8x125 (+1R)
6+1x125

Nothing to say here.

Tricep Dips
10xBW (+1R)
7xBW
6xBW

Nothing to say here either.

OH DB Press
10x40s
8x40s
7+1x40s

Technically, this is up 5lb DBs and 4 reps. But now that I'm on push/pull/leg/push/pull, and the session's volume is much less, my shoulder were far fresher so 40s went up with quite a breeze. 40s, that IS still quite weak though.


Comments:
Not too bad.

Today's workout was with rookiebldr and Todd who is from a different board. Wen't pretty quick.

New split = push/pull/leg/push/pull . Because my upper body is lagging a bit and I think it's a more advanced move to hit each group twice a week.

[debussy]

**** your deads are getting pretty good. Not bad on the bench either...

[Stackattack]

Nice session crippy. At this rate one day you to may be able to incline bench more than you front squat :p


New split = push/pull/leg/push/pull . Because my upper body is lagging
lol. I'm doing the exact opposite.

[Coke]

I have nothing to say here - :D ...except, keep up the good work.

[Canadian Crippler]

Stack4Prez

Thanks guys.

[Stackattack]

Why didn't you tell me that your sister was in Australia. I'm totally up for that. :p

[Guido]

185 lbs? Dayaaaaamn. Sounds like your bulk continues to be on track. I've been slacking lately with my workouts (too many distractions) so hopefully you won't catch up to my ass anytime soon.

[Canadian Crippler]

Stack:
You're a loser.

Guido:
You're slacking is equivalent to my best workouts. ****er.


Tuesday May 3, 2005
--Pull (light)


Workout:

BB Rows
12x115
7x135 (+1R)

Pulldowns
10x135
8x150 (+1R)
7x150

K.

Seated Cable Row
5x165

Pretty good.

Windups (standing on dip machine)
2x10
3x10

Buuuuurn.

Static Holds
20 secs

My grip is teh suck.

Comments:
Not TOO bad. Diet has been so damn shabby this week that I lost weight. Probably some mass :(. 6000 a day for atleast one month straight now... come on babay!

Some little gains here and there. My forearms are tiny so gonna start working on those, and as well my grip.

[Stackattack]

:cool:

Nice rows.

[Guido]

Guido:
You're slacking is equivalent to my best workouts. ****er.That's cause I'm freaking PSYCHO. :micro:


Static Holds
20 secs

My grip is teh suck.20 seconds? Weak!!! How much weight are you using BTW? Using BB or DB's?

So what's your weight at now if you've been losing weight? I weighed in at 181 yesterday. :D

[Coke]

Fine effort Mitch, doing upper body twice per week sounds like a plan.

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks guys.

Guido, I was something ridiculous like 181 or 182 yesterday. Most of it is just my weight flunctuating though. I'm gonna start weighing at home, naked, in the morning. My scale isn't accurate but I should get a more accurate idea of gains.

[getfit]

yes naked in the morning is always better ;)

[Canadian Crippler]

Should I snap some photos too??? :p

[getfit]

of you weighing yourself that's up to you mitch ;)

[Guido]

Thanks guys.

Guido, I was something ridiculous like 181 or 182 yesterday. Most of it is just my weight flunctuating though. I'm gonna start weighing at home, naked, in the morning. My scale isn't accurate but I should get a more accurate idea of gains.You don't have a digital scale or a balance scale at your gym? Those are much more accurate and measure in a lot smaller increments so you could track your gains/losses with a lot more accuracy.

[lilmase1153]

nice split cripp it was the exact same one i was on last year good luck with that..


great couple of w/os btw

[Chubrock]

Damn Mitch. Nice lookin workouts, but I see ya tryin to hit on Getfit now haha. Just lookin for an excuse to show her a picture of "mini me" huh man.

[Canadian Crippler]

DLASDDASJASDvbf

[Canadian Crippler]

getfit:
Yes, 'the scale' ;)

Guido:
My gym does, but I'm always wearing different things with different amounts of food in my body and such. I usually poo before bed every night, and fresh in the morning will probably be more accurate. I can also weigh naked :p

lilmaser:
Thanks big guy.

Chubrock:
Yeah man, 'mini-me'. It's about 50% of my height. ;)


Wednesday May 4, 2005
--Legs


Workout:

Front Squats
10x135
10x165 (+3R)
7x185 (+20W)
6x185 (+20W)

Mostly newbie gains on this. Felt good this time around. My elbows fell to low on the last rep of the last set, so to compensate I threw my back further backwards and got my elbows back up. Finished the rep, totally off balance and had to lunge forward afterwards to keep from falling. Hehe.

This was so freakin intense though.

Leg Press
6x6pps
12x5pps
10x5pps

Same as last week. Holy **** was this ever intense. I swear I was almost crying on the last 2 sets.

DB Lunges
10x60s (+1R)
8x60s
8x55s

Not too bad. I can probably hit 12 reps with the 60s, but the burn is too much for me after all the heavy squats and leg press.

Lying Leg Curls
8x130
7x120
8x110
8x110

Gonna try out SLDL again.

Smith Standing Calf Raises
*Tommorow*


Comments:
Good session. Intensity was damn high and I had to to take way to long of rests between some sets. Calves will be done tommorow, after light push day.

[Hockey66]

Wicked awesome great workout! :thumbup:

[Manveet]

Up to 185 lbs. That's 2 or 3 lbs up from last week. My diet has SUCKED this week so I'm not sure how this happened. I was weighing myself on less than 1000 calories too!


Nice work.

When I bulk, I tend to gain in batches as well, even when my eating is very consistent. So don't be discouraged if the weigh scale doesn't go up 1lb every week.

[lilmase1153]

damn mitch nice gains man, your legs will thank you for that w/o tomorrow :)

[Matt04]

nice gains dude. wow 6000 cals now, Thats alot of food.

[Coke]

Props on such major leg work mang.

[Chubrock]

Very nice workout man. I'm thinkin of doin' some front squats, but don't really have an idea of what kinda form to use and all that. Feel like hookin a brutha up with some pics or vids??

[Guido]

Yes do those SLDL's again. I tried the lying leg curl again after having done SLDL's for a month and a half and I went up 20+ lbs on it. The SLDL's definitely work!

[Canadian Crippler]

Thursday May 5, 2005
--Push


Workout:

DB Bench Press
12x60s
8x70s
6x70s

Haven't done these in a month. A little weaker than before, ROM is a little better than before. Not too bad I guess.

Incline DB Bench
8x55s
8x55s
6x55s

Have never incorporated these before. I remember when I tried this once in November or December I was using 45s for ****ty reps.

CGBP
10x105 (+4R)
8+1x115 (+10W & +2R)
7+1x115 (+10W & +1R)

Awesome!

BB Overhead Press
7x85
6x85

Josh cut me short here :D. Anyways, I've done 100 for 8 reps, fresh, going down parallel. These were done touching chest, and obviosly not so fresh. I'd say I maintained strength. Who cares, I want big delts so gotta start somewhere!

Smith Calf Raises
Check yesterday's session. Did them today though.


Comments:
Overall not too bad. Not many gains, and getfit is stronger than me on incline :(. That'll change next session though!

[Canadian Crippler]

Very nice workout man. I'm thinkin of doin' some front squats, but don't really have an idea of what kinda form to use and all that. Feel like hookin a brutha up with some pics or vids??I'll try to take a vid next session :)

Thanks everybody for the replies!

[Hockey66]

Good session man, how you likin the new split?

[Nito]

Mitch, I am almost sure you were using 115 for two of the CGBP sets..

[Stackattack]

Awesome front squats dicknose. :p

[getfit]

I'll try to take a vid next session :)

Thanks everybody for the replies!
oh my a vid mitch! ;)

[Stackattack]

Your sisters in queensland? Damn. Thats like a 12 hour drive.

[lilmase1153]

another strong session by the crippinator

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks everyone. I'm thinking of buying a power rack, 400lbs in weights, and some adjustable DBs. Because...

Im sick of going to the gym and waiting to use equipment.

Im sick of being stuck not able to workout on weekends due to ****ty operating hours.

Im sick of busting my ass to find ways to get there and back.

Im sick of missing friday's session nearly every other week because the gym closes before 9:00 PM.

Im sick of holding in my farts every time I lift.

Im sick of dropping DBs because sitting up with them makes me fart and I can't do that at the gym.

Im sick of a couple of those trainers.

And finally, having my own equipment would be loads of fun. I have $300 right now, so I'm looking for a job to get some more $$$ and buy this ****. I saw some 15 year old working at loblaws so I'm gonna call them up and see what I can do. Maybe with my strong knowledge of nutrition they'll put me as an operator in the health aisle :).

[Nito]

Sobeys is a great place to work. Someone from my work, works their and when the manager isn't there, all the workers just eat food :D If you're just looking for a short time job, and you don't want to last long, telemarketing is another good option. You make money quick, hours are up to you, and you get paid in cash.

[lilmase1153]

damn cripp if i had to put up with as much s**t as that i dont know if i could handle it but getting your own stuff would be great for you for the time being..

good luck with all of that mitch

[Coke]

No way, stay in the gym man. Just go to the gym when you can and go all out when you get there. Let one go every now and then around them trainers, lol - :D...good luck on the job tip Mitch, folks would glad to have you aboard.

[debussy]

Good god you're getting strong. I advise you not to build a home gym because you will get stronger than me. j/k though... I think it's a good idea obviously... since I'm going to buy a power rack this summer.

[Zearoth]

Does this have do with me not taking you anymore? Lol

And can I come workout with your equipment? Thanks bud! :thumbup:

[galileo]

Thanks everyone. I'm thinking of buying a power rack, 400lbs in weights, and some adjustable DBs. Because...

I have(/had) my own equipment and it was a very good investment. A few words of advice for your purchase.

· Make sure you get a high quality bench. (Adjustable, if possible) When I got my bench, I opted for a less expensive one and it was unstable and frightening. I felt very unsafe when my bench numbers reached their high points.

· Make sure your adjustable dumbbells fit olympic plates with the squeezable collars. I have 2 sets of adjustables, one fits with those screw on collars and one works well with the same collars I use for my barbell. Unfortunately, the good ones are thick dumbbells, which made it extremely difficult to increase my dumbbell rows.

· Get a dip/chin attachment. It's a worthwhile investment.

That's all.

[Nito]

Yeah I'm with gal...if you can try to get a power rack that has a dip/pullup station attached. I know you like those excercises.

[Focused70]

It looks like projecting your farts into your cell phone is doing wonders for your bench, young Jedi. :)

Stash

[TTT]

Nice work Crippy. You're doing the same incline DB weights as I am without even training for it.

You should just let all that gas go in the gym, it's great for keeping people away from the equipment :D

[Guido]

You should just let all that gas go in the gym, it's great for keeping people away from the equipment :DI agree, man. I just let that gas go anytime, anywhere. Just ask Lynn :D F-A-R-T spells RELIEF! :fart:

[Stephen Riddington]

I am very impressed with the weights you are lifting. Keep it up, young man.

[Canadian Crippler]

Josh:
I'll take a look at Dominion and the Sobeys down at Rutherford. I might just consider working 5x a week, long hours in the summer to get a big flow of cash in. We'll see.

Masey:
Yeah man, today it got even worst. I'll explain in my session post.

Coke:
Hire me Cokie, ;). I'm still reconsidering the home gym idea. If I can find a gym with long hours that's easily accesible and has a lot of equipment I'll jsut do that. They have built this huge new gym near my house, so I will probably check that out and might do that instead of the home gym idea.

depussy:
Move down to TO and we'll split 50/50 :p.

Zearoth:
If I do purchase equipment you will not have much access to it. As you have said many times, I'm simply not reliable.

Gal:
Thanks homie. When you say make sure my adjustable DB fit olympic plates with collars, are you saying that I should be using the same plates for BB and DB? Or have seperate "DB" plates for DBs.

Josh2:
Yep, I love em'!

Stash:
Not really, I've been on 165 since the start of 2005. Though my ROM has increased drastically over that period.

TTT:
Haha, yeah man but some of these curl jockeys have attitude :rolleyes: .

Guido:
You're the best man. Lynn has pointed it out in your journal several types if I remember correctly. Deadlift farts are the worst. I swear, I can take a 30 minute dump before I deadlift yet I'll still fart like there no tommorow. I really love farting so a home gym is a good idea in that aspect :).

Homz:
:o Thanks broham.

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks peepers.

Workout:

BB Bench Press
12x135
6x165
4+1x165

In an effort to build this chest up, I have decided to touch my chest now. I was about 1" off before. Strength retained, which I was very surprised about. Next week I want 9 reps; I've been on this weight for WAAAAAAY too long.

Incline DB Press
7x55s
8x55s
5x55s

Same as a few days ago, however the incline was more inclined this time. We'll build from there now :D.

Tricep Dips
10xBW
7xBW
7xBW

Same reps as last time. 4lbs heavier.

OH DB Press
7x45s (+10W)
6x45s (+10W)
10x40s

This exercise is climbing like a mofo.


Comments:
Good workout.

Minimal person records, but form and ROM was perfect today.

I'm up to 186.5 lbs now.

[Hockey66]

Bench plateaus suck, in a month I've only gone from 185 x 4 to 185 x 5

[Stackattack]

Nice workout. Good idea on increasing your bench rom.

[Coke]

The push workout looks damn good Mitch.

[Guido]

Nice workout. Good idea on increasing your bench rom. :withstupi I have to agree. Doing that full ROM is only going to help you in the long run. By the way, you've been quite quotable lately.

Case in point:


Deadlift farts are the worst. I swear, I can take a 30 minute dump before I deadlift yet I'll still fart like there no tommorow. I really love farting...:thumbup:

So...yeah. 186.5 lbs? Just when i was catching up to you in weight, you go get fat on me again! Dammit.

[Canadian Crippler]

Quote me again then :p. Yep, I'm a fat 186.5. I don't look as big as you though :(.

Today Nito, Zearoth, dMz and I were bored in health class. We decided to name as many WBB members are we could. We got 116 :D.

[YoBrickWall]

Canadaincrippler- nice workout. .damm right now we weigh about the same. you might have me by a lb though

YBW

[Canadian Crippler]

Haha good to hear bro. You're still a lot more jacked than me though man. And a hella lot stronger. Most people find it hard to believe I weigh more than 165.

[YoBrickWall]

Crippler- LMAO. yeah i know everyone thinks im 20lbs heavier.

YBW

[Canadian Crippler]

That's good though man, you'll just look bigger than all the guys in your weight class when you compete!

[Zearoth]

Looks like you're met your deadlift goals and nearing your squats too! Now get tat bench up!

[Guido]

Quote me again then :p. Yep, I'm a fat 186.5. I don't look as big as you though :(.

Today Nito, Zearoth, dMz and I were bored in health class. We decided to name as many WBB members are we could. We got 116 :D.116? Wow. Ya got me beat there. I doubt I could name more than 50.

[ryuage]

damn you weigh more than I do....

[debussy]

your db bench is decent... but your regular bench is kinda sad hehe... maybe you need to bring up your triceps?

[Chubrock]

Workouts have been looking pretty good man. I mean not as good as me HAHAHA, but still pretty good.

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks kids.

debussy: My push strength in general is poor. It's a mix of everything; my shoulders are weak as well.

Here's yesterday's session.

Tuesday May 10, 2005
--Pull


Workout:

BB Rows
12x115
8x135 (+1R)
6x135
10x115

Form was still off today. Not sure what to do, as my form is ****ty even on the 95 sets for warmup. Everything feels fine and I don't hitch the weight, the problem is my elbows flare out.

Neutral Grip Pullups
9xBW
7xBW
7xBW

For a change. The grip was so slippery, lol.

Smith Shrugs
8x195
12x175 (+something)
12x175 (+something)

Too lazy to check for the PR, but it's +something for sure.

BB Curls
8x70
12x60
9x60

Nice pump :D.

Windups (standing on dip machine)
4x10 (+1)
3x10

Ouch, lol. Gonna need to make my own one of these as the one at my gym you cannot add more weight to.

Hammer-Grip Preacher Cable Curls
10x70
2 more stupid sets.

I call the sets stupid because Josh kept making me laugh and I had to drop the weight.


Comments:
Pretty ****ty session. Everything felt kinda poor and awkward, dunno why. My BB rows need so much work.

Today I was supposed to do legs, but dMz *sorta* ditched me and could only go later on like at 6:00. I had to leave to wrestling at 6:50 and had no ride to get back from the gym any earlier. So not sure how I am supposed to catch up on legs since I have sessions the next 2 days. Any suggestions?

Some little gains here and there. My forearms are tiny so gonna start working on those, and as well my grip.

[Coke]

Every workout counts - props on the effort...combine the sessions one day, just take out the minor movements.

[Guido]

Still got some PR's, so it was a good sesh. Just do some legs at home, mein. Single leg squatty's, single leg calf raises (with DB's), some Hamstring Hypers, and you're good to go, yo.

[Chubrock]

I agree with Guido on some of the single leg stuff. This is also going on a very different platform so to speak, but you could do some plyometrics. Do some standing jumps, box jumps, 1 legged squat jumps, Monkey ****ers, agility drills, heck just about anything your heart desires. It may serve to provide a bit of a break for your lowerbody but still give you a workout at the same time.

[rookiebldr]

Form was still off today. Not sure what to do, as my form is ****ty even on the 95 sets for warmup. Everything feels fine and I don't hitch the weight, the problem is my elbows flare out.


Is your grip wide enough? I wouldn't worry too much about the elbow flare esp if you're feeling it in your back.

[Nito]

Don't blame it on me. Blame it on Bird Man!

[getfit]

be prepared mitch next time i'm in TO we're going to train! ;)

[Stephen Riddington]

LOL Mitch's bitching as usual.

Like Cokie says, each session counts, you made an effort to go to the gym. That itself should count for something, it can be a mark of your character. If you feel you have a bad session, ignore it and move on; because dwelling on that will make you have more ****ty sessions. Once you get the habit of getting past bad session, the better you will get in your sessions. I don't think there's one person on the board that never had a bad session. Poor sessions are part of bodybuilding, think of it as a motivation factor.

[Canadian Crippler]

Coker:
Doubt I can do that. Almost all my movements "count", in the sense that one movement isn't really more important than the other. I also doubt I could do squats AND leg press AND bench AND OH press all on the same day.

Guido:
Great idea man, I'll take it!

Chubrock:
I've been planning on doing plyo's anyways. I need to plan out a good routine for it first though. Any suggestions?

Little Jeff:
I guess I do feel it in my back, but A LOT in my bi's as well.

Nito:
Who the hell is bird man.

Sylvia:
I'll bring my A-game, chica!

Homz:
K. Bad session piss me off, there's nothing I can really do about it. I DO NOT mind if my weight does not go up, or even if it goes down. What I do mind is when movements feel like crap and the exercises feel awkward.

[SW]

Take this to heart: Bad sessions don't happen, they're just small bumps in the making of the superhighway known as Mitch :)

[TTT]

Hey Mitch,
Try lowering the weight a bit on those BB rows - this usually helps when I have that exact same problem. Can you feel it in your bi's mostly as you complete the top range of the movement? I find that if I have just a bit too much weight on, I have to compensate by using my arms more to get the barbell right up to the top. But that could just be me.

BTW, your hair is crazy as ****. :thumbup:

[Canadian Crippler]

TTT:
I'll try with lower weight again. The elbow problem was occuring just as much with even the 45lb bar, so I'll just try out different grips with the bar then move up to 95-115.

Will:
Lol, I hope so.

Thursday May 12, 2005
--Push


Workout:

DB Bench Press
7x70s
6x70s
6x70s

Last exercise in which I haven't put ROM all the way down to chest with. Weight stayed about the same, increased ROM, so I guess it was ok.

Incline BB Bench
10x125 (+2R)
6x135 (+10W)
6x135 (+10W)

Flying up on these.

CGBP
8x115
9x115 (+1R)
6x115

Meh. Thought I had gained more.

BB Overhead Press
7x90 (+5W)
5x90 (+5W)
7x80

I like doing these in the power rack, but I some guys were waiting when I was doing incline and close grips so I decided it would be nice to let them use it.


Comments:
Overall not too bad. Most stuff felt good, but the OH Press was kinda awkward with the skinny ass bars and having to clean it first, lol.

[Hockey66]

Nice push day, those inclines are progressing well.

[TTT]

You had to clean the bar first? WTF? haha :)

[Coke]

That Mitch ain't foolin nobody, he's got it all under control - I'm serious...dude has got $hit on lock.

Super push day, plenty of red to show for it!!

[Stackattack]

Nice work man. The Inclines are looking good.

[YoBrickWall]

Crippler- looks good. keep pounding away

YBW

[Stephen Riddington]

Good overall session, bro.

If you're concerned with range of motion on your db bench, perhaps have Brian or Nito help you out, or lower the weights until you get the hang of it, and move on to higher weights. The ROM on DB bench is slightly different than BB bench. For me, I bench the DBs until the weight plates touches skin before pressing back up.

[Canadian Crippler]

Hockey, Coke, Stack, YBW:
Thanks guys. The inclines feel awesome and I really enjoy this exercise. I'm thinking of throwing in decline instead of flat if I don't gain on flat soon.

TTT:
Haha, you douche. Not CLEAN like with windex. Clean as in a reverse curl + squat combination.

Homz:
Having no problem with DB Presses actually. I too make sure to touch my chest before pushing back up, and throwing the weights up initially doesn't seem to be a problem.

Friday April 29, 2005

Workout:

Deadlift
10x135
10x185
8x225
4x275
6x315 (+3R)
3x325 (+2R)

This went awesome. I'm sure I could pull 340 now or so.

Pullups @ 186lbs
8xBW
6xBW
4xBW ---> 4 negatives

Eh, the last 2 sets were kinda crappy. I don't know how I'm supposed to get up to weighted while gaining 2-3lbs in BW a week and training for hypertrophy as opposed to strength. This was weaker than usual though.

Smith Shrugs
9x195 (+1R)
9x195 (+1R)
9x195 (+1R)

Some nice small gains here. Reps were cleaner than last time as well. Except for the final couple reps.... a little bit of calf raise here and there :cool: .

DB Curls
6x40s
8x35s
6x35s

Curls are so boring -_-.

Decline Crunches
12x40
6x45
6x45

6 reppers kinda sucked. Workout was superbly rushed at this point. Didn't get to do ab pulldowns. I'll probably do some leg raises off my bed tonight.

Comments:
Very happy with the deadlifts. Nothing else was notably good, pullups were pretty bad. I left happy because of the DLs though :).

[Hockey66]

**** you, I hate you.

You've almost caught me in the deads.

[debussy]

You're killing me with those deads :cry:

At least I got my bench... for now. I can't believe you weigh more than me now.

[PizDoff]

Glad to see you are keeping a sanitary workout here.

[Matt04]

Nice session. deads are going up like crazy nows days ay.

i reckon ull hit 405 sooner than you think

[Stephen Riddington]

Nice effort in the session, pretty impressed with your deads. Keep it up.

BBTW: Regarding to ROM, good to know that you're fine in that dept with db bench.

[Guido]

Dayman, yo. You're wuppin' up on that sheeit. Must be all that eating you've been doing. Looks like you're about keeping pace with me, so I'm gonna need to keep scrambling to stay ahead of you!

[TTT]

Hehe, I thought you meant you had to clean the bar.... you never know what kind of gunk lives on those bars.... :)
I don't find it too bad getting the bar up into starting position though. Maybe it's because I'm not lifting much.

And damn, those deads are awesome.

[rookiebldr]

:omg: Those deads!

[Focused70]

Oh, stop whining :nod: your deads strength = nothing short of outstanding.

I wish I could pull 340.

Stash

[Coke]

You ought to be well pleased, U are doing so damn good...liked them deads too.

[SW]

Hey man, just read up and things are looking good. This effort will most definitely reward you greatly if you carry it through your life.

Workout:

Front Squats
10x135
10x185 (+3R)
6x195 (+10W)
4x195

185 was very nice and crisp. 2nd last set, form was a little off as my knees were going a little too far past my feet. Last set form was VERY off so cut it short at 4 reps.

Leg Press
6x6pps
11x5pps
8x5pps

No gains here. Last 2 sets were knees touching chest. Very intense and my legs respond to this VERY well.

DB Lunges
9x60s
9x60s

First set was off, second set was smooth. Felt good, didn't push myself as hard as usual as the leg press left me barely walkable.

Lying Leg Curls
12x110
8x110
10x100
9x100

Focus on slow negatives and controlled reps here. I've plateau'd this exercise fully and need to try and get in some SLDL instead.

Smith Standing Calf Raises
12X2PPS
9X3PPS
12X2PPS+25
12X2PPS+25


Comments:
Good session overall. Not too many gains, but left me very sore.

[getfit]

front squats @195 is no joke! well done mitch you'll whoop my a** when i come down! :D

[rookiebldr]

Awesome front squats! you'll soon be front squating as much as I'm squatting! :(

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks guys.

Today was a push day but something weird happened. I was doing my incline BB press (1st exercise) and I got a MASSIVE migraine. It felt like when I got kicked in the head and knocked out for 2 seconds in wrestling a few months ago, except this time the pain lasted for a couple minutes and I wasn't knocked out. Went lighter, focused on breathing, and the headache pain was increasing less but still increasing none the less. Decided to call it easy and cut out all presses, so I did some light flies, dips, pushdowns, lateral raises, and front raises. Most of that stuff was good, though the headache was pretty rough all the way until 1 set into the dips. If this persists I might take 1 or 2 weeks off from all heavy compounds. I REALLY do not want to though, so let's hope this problem clears (I was getting the headaches doing leg press yesterday).

[Matt04]

that sucks man, get yaself checked out so its nothing serous.

[Coke]

Hopefully its nothing major...you've been doing very well and I'd hate to see you take a few steps back.

[Guido]

Ya, mein. That's blows big donkey balls about the headaches. Just when you were beginning to inch closer to me, too. Too bad... :)

[Canadian Crippler]

getfit:
Let the battle of the sex's begin! :cool:

Jeeeeeeeeeeeff Thompson:
Lol, not my fault man. Get off the nice, padded comfortable leg press and get that bar on those traps!

Coke, Matt, Guido-san:
Thanks for the continued support. Problem persisted into today, though the workout still ended up pretty good.

Friday May 20, 2005
--Pull


Workout:

Deadlift
10x135
10x185
8x225
3x275
1x315
1x345 (PR!)

The headaches were coming back on the higher rep sets (especially on 2pps), so I made the decision that it wasn't worth killing myself with 4-6 reps and I might as well just stick to 1 rep maxing. Felt good, 345 wasn't TOO hard. I have so much leg DOMS, so I was VERY surprised with this lift.

Pullups @ 189lbs... Lat Pulldown subbed in
7xBW
...
12x135
12x135

Got a MASSIVE headache on the pullup. Even worst than yesterday's, man did this ever hurt lol. It's a shame because I'm 3lbs heavier than last time and the 7th rep wasn't even hard (last week I did 8@186lbs). Even Lat Pulldown was giving me some head aching so kept it light.

Bentover Lateral Raises
12x15s
8x20s
13x15s (+1R)

Felt pretty good!

Smith Shrugs
10x195 (+1R)
12x195 (+3R)
14x195 (+5R)

I was looking in the mirror last night and thinking "Damn, my traps got bigger!". I guess I was right.

BB Curls
10x80 (+10W)
8x80 (+10W)
7x80 (+10W)

I had mentioned to Jeff a couple nights ago that my biceps mysteriously got bigger when I woke up one evening. Again, I guess I was right.

Windups
5x10 (+1R)

I need to make my own adjustable one of these, as the gyms is not. 10lbs on this is getting to easy, I could have gotten a 6th but the gym was closing and I was already 1 minute overtime. BTW, I do these standing on the dip station for increased ROM.


Comments:
Very happy with this session. When you go into a deadlift/back session with leg DOMS and headaches, you don't expect much from the session. Then when you throw out PRs left and right, it really makes you happy and proud.

[rookiebldr]

awesome prs. I guess it's time to measure those big muscle guns again. Nice going, Mitch.

[Stackattack]

curse you and your front squats. And Damn nice Dl's.

[Coke]

U ain't skippin a beat even with them damn headaches Mitch, they could be diet related (have you tried more carbs before the session?)...like the pr's, they are everywhere bro!!

Those bars were like ice bro. To quote latinomasfino's cousin, "**** this **** y0!".

Pretty bad. I went in thinking I would have to stop the session because of the headaches, but they didn't act up all that much so everything went fine. Next week it's time to get some PRs.

Threw in 2 sets of pullups and 2 sets of rear delt flies to catch up a bit for the missed back session due to that stupid ****ing whore, Queen Victoria.

[Chubrock]

Good to see the headaches weren't there. Nice job on the benching. You're fairly close to me on the Incline DB Press.

[JTyrell710]

This kills me. Your bench is only slightly better than mine, but your deads are BEAST man. What the heck. Congrats on the deads, i dont know what else to say- they're awesome. Your journal is inspiring me to do some deads.

[ILL_Mitch]

Lol, I ain't catching you buddy. Knowing my weakness I'll be onto 60s and then stuck there for ridiculous amounts of time.

Eyyyyoooooooooo:
Thanks bro.

JTyrell:
Yeah, deads and squats are my better lifts. I think I could have pulled 355 that day if I sucked it up and pushed myself, but I was having headaches so took it SOMEWHAT lighter.

[TTT]

Nice work, despite the headaches! Those must really suck.
Try taking some time off - I took two weeks off and I don't think I lost anything significant. As long as you keep eating and just doing light exercise, you should be fine... even one week would probably do you good. That's what I would do, anyway.
But it looks like they're clearing up on their own, so maybe you don't have to :)

BTW, your deads are fricking amazing.

[Guido]

Have you gotten those headaches checked out yet? Dayamn, bro. Those deads are looking mighty. Must...not....let...you....catch me. *gasp*

lol@ stupid **cking whore Queen Victoria. I almost forgot it a was a holiday for all you cuhrazy canucks.

I don't wanna take time off and probably won't unless it gets bad again. Thanks for the props.

Guido:
Yeah, no school so that's good and all but I hate missing sessions.

Homz:
I find myself either really happy with a session or really angered with it. I'm not blessed with genetics like Guido to gain on everything at once for such long periods of time, so chances are if I make good PRs on lets say a pull session than I won't make any on push that week. It could be age related, as at 16 puberty can be holding me back. It seems to ease my mind in knowing by the time I'm just 20 I'll be uber jacked. Maybe not Chase jacked, but something of some sort none the less.

Front squats are out and regular squats are back in. I feel there were just too many limiting factors with the front squat (balance, core, etc.) to use it as my primary movement. If I ever do upper/lower split again or legs more than once a week they will definitely be back in.

Weight was sissy today. Haven't done them in 1 month so that might be why.

Leg Press
10x5pps
10x5pps

Intense as hell, headaches came back on the 2nd set so cut it short there (had 2 more in me I think). Knees to chest, so freakin intense!

DB Lunges
9x60s
8x60s

Man was I ever dead from the squats + LP. Totally tripped on the 5th rep, 2nd set. Nearly fell over, lol.

Lying Leg Curls
12x110
9x110
9x100
10x100

Tried SLDL, no luck with that. I think I got the form down pretty well, but I still felt it somewhat in my lower back too. Doing deadlifts just 2 days after this session, so I'll need to stick with these ****ty leg curls for now. May try seated or single leg ones for variation. Huge decline in weight today on this, wtf happened?

Smith Standing Calf Raises
12x2pps
9x2pps+25
10x2pps+25
8x2pps+25 ---> 6x2pps ---> 12x1pps

Lots of teh burning :).


Comments:
No gains at all this session, even went down in strength. Everything felt ace though... size over strength for now, so I'll just say I'm neutral with my opinions on this one.

Had to take a dump after the 1st set of squats, and held it in all the way to calf raises. Holding in protein shakes + chicken burgers + pizza = no good. dMz was lucky enough to hear it live, lol.

Hardest part of the session was getting up from the can. I swear, there is NOTHING more relaxing than sitting down and taking a dump just seconds after a nice, intense leg session.

[Chubrock]

Nice lookin workout bro, even though the numbers weren't as high as you'd like. Wish I was eatin good pizza all the time lol.

[Zearoth]

hAet

Disqust

[Stephen Riddington]

Good overall effort, keep hitting the gym and the gains will come.

Eventually you'll get bigger, perhaps you'll bound to have a late growth spurt or something. :D

[Coke]

Awesome intensity on those legs bro - U about fell over, lol...glad to see the squats back in the mix.

[Guido]

I find myself either really happy with a session or really angered with it. I'm not blessed with genetics like Guido to gain on everything at once for such long periods of time, so chances are if I make good PRs on lets say a pull session than I won't make any on push that week. It could be age related, as at 16 puberty can be holding me back. It seems to ease my mind in knowing by the time I'm just 20 I'll be uber jacked. Maybe not Chase jacked, but something of some sort none the less.Hmmmm. Could be the puberty. The fluctuation in hormones from dayd to day could be affecting your workout's somewhat. But if you look at in on a longer term basis, you are making very good gains. In fact I'm jealous, cause I wasn't anything even close to where you are now until a few months ago, and I'm almost 28 years old. When I was your age, I was a 5'6", 115lb twig, and could have probably barely benched 100 lbs.


Tried SLDL, no luck with that. I think I got the form down pretty well, but I still felt it somewhat in my lower back too. Doing deadlifts just 2 days after this session, so I'll need to stick with these ****ty leg curls for now.I know, man. I had to do Leg Curls, too, cause I knew I had deads in two days. After this week I'm going to have a regular schedule and I'll keep them at least 3 days apart.

[METALASIAN]

Session looks uber-strong. Nice squats man.

[TheMachine]

Great job on those squats and DB lunges are the $hit!

[Chubrock]

I agree with what Guido said about your hormones. Hell I'm gonna be 19 shortly, and still feel like somedays I'm all outta wack.

[Canadian Crippler]

Chubrock:
Presiden'ts Choice Four Cheese Fromaggo is the shiz!

Guido:
Yeah, no school so that's good and all but I hate missing sessions.

Zearoth, Nito, Coke, METALASIAN:
Thanks dudes. Squats will hopefully pop back up this next week or two. I was doing 225 for 6 parallel back in February, then switched to ATF and dropped down to 185. Worked my way up to 225 for 8, then switched to Front Squats for about a month. Couldn't get the leg intensity I get with regular squats so I'm back to those and hoping to break the 250 barrier for reps sometime soon.

Homz:
I hope so, I really wanna get taller!

Guido:
I still can't help and be jealous of you though. To think at a time we were even in size and strength, lol. I want to get deads 3 days away, but I'm not sure how I can fit this in my schedule in regards to wrestling. Brian and I will need to figure something out.

TheMachine:
Yep, I do love what they do to my glutes. Can't even sit on the can the next day, lol.

Chubs:
With your strength and gains, you don't need to worry nor care about how you feel. :)

--Push


Workout:

Incline BB Press
8x135 (+2R)
12x115
11x115

Headaches came back quite strong on the set of 135, so went with lighter weight for the other sets. Headaches still there but not close to as bad.

Flat DB Flies
12x35s
6x40s
14x35s

New Exercise. My shoulders gave out on the 40 set, a problem which I've almost always had when I did these in the past. Looks like 10-14 reps in stagnant for these.

OH DB Extentions
12x50
12x60
5x65

New Exercise. I love this one. Elbows will surely flaring out on the 65 DB set, and possibly on the 60. I was REALLY focusing on keeping them in but not sure if I accomplished that. Video camera will be a next week's session.

Lateral Raises
12x20s (+2R)
9x20s
11x20s (+1R)

Headaches surely would have came back on the OH Press so kept that out for this week. Might SS lateral raises in with them regularly as I love this exercise.


Comments:
Some gains in strength, everything felt ace and great freakin' pump. I'm likin the higher reps. Not too bad at all... for a bodybuilding based session :D.

[Chubrock]

Bout time I saw some high reps in here bro. Great session man. One word of advice though. Make sure you keep those rotator cuffs nice and worked/warmed up. I find that DB Flyes put soo much ****in stress on my shoulders that it ain't funny.




Just saw that I'm post 666. MUWHAHAHAHAH COME TO THE DARK SIDE BITCHES!!!!

[Stackattack]

Yup. Db flies totally kill my shoulders too. Nice inclines.

[TTT]

Nice work Cripster and hopefully those stupid headaches will leave soon. And yeah, I'd say you'll be fairly 'jacked' by the time you're 20 :)

[Coke]

The OH DB extensions are sweet, glad to see you have discovered them - ;) ...pushin on strong Mitch.

[Zearoth]

Hot dog hAet!

[Canadian Crippler]

Had a pretty nice back session, will post it up later.

I'll be taking this next week off to hopefully calm the headaches for good. I'll be eating like a mofo and MIGHT throw in an upper session and lower session, each with low volume and pussy-like exercises (curls, pushdowns, and what not). Wrestling on Sunday, possibly Tuesday, and Wednesday.

[Guido]

The OH DB extensions are sweet, glad to see you have discovered them - ;) ...pushin on strong Mitch.Hell yeah man I love those things. I used to do them all the time, but it gets hard as hell after a while to get the dumbells up there when you get into the heavier weights. I just tried doing them last week with an 85 and it was a b*tch just getting the thing up into the start position. I love how they do hit the tri's, though.

[ryuage]

all you need to do is bench and curl, you'lll get hyoooge.

[lilmase1153]

all you need to do is bench and curl, you'lll get hyoooge.
heck yes you will :D

but on a real note mitch you are really killing your w/os bro it sucks that you have your head aches and hopefully that will go away soon with your week off..

best of luck bro just keep hittin the weights and youll be alright

[Coke]

Have the doc take a look into those migraines real soon...he'll probably say U are way too intense mang - ;)

[Focused70]

:lurk:

for the migraines, they're genetic -- I get them from mom. I don't have them ALL the time, thank god....but when one hits, it's a day spent in a dark room. :(

Stash

[Jabberwocky]

Razor Ramone and Sean Micheals ladder match is the best wwf match of all time.

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks guys.

--Pull


Workout:

Deadlift
10x135
9x185
6x225
4x275
3x335 (+10W)
4x315

Argh. Form was off on 335. Should be better next time around.

Pullups @ 189bs
8xBW
6xBW
4xBW

Hmm. Last 2 sets were damn ****ty. Dunno why I die out so quickly on these.

Smith Shrugs
12x195
8x215 (+10W)
8x215 (+10W)

DOMS galore the next day.

Seated DB Curls
10x35s
9x35s
8x35s

Got on the wifebeater to see the pump in the mirror. Looked good, awesome lighting. Gyno shows like hell in it though.

Other stuff that I forget the weight of:
1 set of windups
2 sets of wrist curls
3 sets of decline crunches
3 sets of standing ab pulldowns


Comments:
Eh, happy with the deadlift PR but the form wasn't good this week. I want my back to stay in tact so if my form on this weight isn't better next week I'll be working lighter.

[Canadian Crippler]

I've decided to step things up a notch.

Back last summer I was bigger and stronger than Josh & Brian (Nito & Zearoth) by a far margin. Since then I've put on more weight than they have yet Josh is nearly as big as me and Brian is bigger now. It's time to take my lead again and leave these two mofo's in the dust forever.

This week I will be resting for the headaches, but I will have 1 lower and 1 upper session (with loser exercises like machine flyes and leg extentions). I am going to eat 6000 calories every day no matter what. I'm making my diet into almost pure liquid (shakes), with the addition of eggs + cereal for breakfast and whatever my mom makes for dinner. I'm going to go to bed by 12:00 to 12:30 and waking up bright and early for breakfast, some WBB browsing and a nice, smooth protein shake. I'm gonna be working on my flexibility and hopefully will get to the splits in a matter of months. My vertical leap sucks so I will be working on that with plyometrics. I hope to do both of these in the morning before school, if I can't pull it off summer is only 3 weeks away so I'll have a ****load of time.

This all sounds like a plan to me. Now, time for some pre-kicking my clique's ass measurements:


Height: 5'9" (a tad more)
Weight: ~187lbs

Waist: 33"
Chest/Back: 44"
Arms: 14"
Forearms: 11.9"
Legs: 24.7"
Calves: 16"

[Coke]

Superb effort on the deads, form doesn't have to be perfecto - good workout...great plans for getting huge.

[Chubrock]

Sounds like some ****in GRADE A plan bro. Keep ya eyes on the prize and you'll get em no matter what. Great job on the deads also man. You pull much more than me you bastard lol.

[METALASIAN]

Good luck bro. Don't grow too fast. :evillaugh

Sure it all sounds good and easy on paper, but let's see what you make out of it. Lol. HOw am I a mofo all of a sudden. You're the one registering to #compliment forums and saying "you're big" to everyone.

Which reminds me I have to take measurements

[JeffWillConquer]

You sound motivated. Just out of curiosity, how much were you eating before this jump to 6000 cals?

[JeffWillConquer]

Oh, and benoit sucks.
