Back & Biceps


********************************************************************************************

**Workout**

Pullups @ 194lbs: 10xBW (+1R), 4xBW+25, 8xBW
== Feels good to gain on these, especially when you're gaining weight. I was actually most pleased with the last set, where I usually struggle with getting 4-6 @ BW. Not a PR by the way I mark it but a gain in strength for sure.

BB Rows: 9x145 (+3R), 7x155 (+10W +1R), 6x155 (+10W)
== Good!

Seated Cable Rows: 10x140 (+5W), 10x140 (+5W), 10x140 (+5W)
== Got my 10 reps for 3 sets with 140, good. Last set was very hard, so 145 next week will be quite the challenge.

Seated DB Curls: 5:6x40s, 6x35s, 6x35s
== These were terrible.

BB Preacher Curls: 8x55, 8x55
== These as well were terrible.

[Canadian Crippler]

pinky: Yeah man my row strength is terrible. Looks like it's on the rise for now though :).

Alke: Welcome back brother!

fixation: Thanks. It's weird that I can do more pullups than some guys who are LIGHTER than me, yet they row so much more. My pullup form is fine too, hmm.

Kevin: Thanks dude.

Hockey: I can say the same about you sucka.

Mase: Not really, many people don't do any direct arm training. Well, atleast not for bi's. I believe ElP said he doesn't do anything for them.

Stack: Well, if you would stop snowboarding maybe you could counter me. ;) Thanks for the good words bro.


I've switched legs from Tuesday to Wednesday. 2 reasons. 1) My lower back is somewhat sore from the BB rows and Cable Rows which on Monday. 2) Half the time I bet I'll end up doing deads on Sunday rather than Saturday, so I'll need to move my upperback workout from Monday to Tuesday, thus legs from Tuesday to Wednesday. I did legs last week on wednesday anyways so it's fine.

[debussy]

I think you should try squatting twice a week. It may be what you need to get passed this plateau.

[MM]

Crap dude it's like you have everlasting n00b gains.

Seriously.

Nice workouts Crip.

[Canadian Crippler]

debussy: Not in a plateau on squats right now actually. I'll probably go light for 1 week (4-5 sets of 75% or so for 5-7 reps) and then go heavy for 1 week (1 set, shooting for a 5RM). We'll see how that works.

MM: Thanks bro.

Legs


********************************************************************************************

**Workout**

Squats: 95, 135, 185, 225, 6x265 (+10W +1R)
== My routine will have me doing 5x5 with around 75% intensity one week, then going for a 5RM the next. This should help me not burn out as fast. This was awesome, though my form could use a tad bit of work since the last couple of reps had too much good-morning in them.

Box Squats: 9x225, 6x225, 6x225
== Holy **** do these ever do a number on your hips. The box was too high (it was actually a bench). I'd hesitate to say these were even parallel. Need to find something lower for next time. Form obviously needs some work as this is the first time doing these. I got the basics of the movement down though, since it was super hard the first few inches off the box and then it just flies up after that. This also goes to show that my parallel squat is likely near 300 for reps.

SLDL: 8x225, 8x245, 5x265
= Another exercise where my form needs work. I'm definitely getting better at them though; I can actually feel it in my hammies now and it felt pretty damn good. Also happy about the weight, though I can't call it a PR since I never wen't heavy on these. Jeff, let's hit up a session next week on legs so you can help me with these.

Lying Leg Curls: 10x110, 8x120 (+10W), 6x120
== Finally moving up on these. I've done 120 for 8 before but with ****tier form. Since I moved to better form I've been stuck at 110 for 8 reps on the 2nd set.

Leg Press: 20x3pps, 20x4pps, 20x4pps
== Gonna keep with this. The 20 reppers are killers and will add to my hypertrophy effort, since squats and SLDL will be with lower reps. I like it at the end of the workout since I can get the same effect with less weight.

Smith Calf Raises: 12x2pps+35 (+3R), 9x2pps+35, 7x2pps+35, 8x2pps+35
= I love this one.

********************************************************************************************

**Workout**

Flat DB Press: 8x80s (+5Ws), 5x80s (+5Ws), 10x70s, 3x70s-->2x70s
== This went quite well. I've gotta cut down on the heavy presses to 3 sets again, as the 4th set was just terrible. The problem wasn't even chest strength, but rather not being able to stabilize the weight well enough.

Incline BB Press: 6x145, 7x135 (+2R), 8x125, 6x125
== This went quite well too, with the exception again of the 4th set. Not sure what to mark down the 145 as it isn't a flawless +10W (lost a couple reps), but the 2nd set is +2R from last week fo' sho'. Again, this will become 3 sets next week and then I'll be tossing in DB Flies once again.

Dips @ 195lbs: 9xBW, 6xBW, 5xBW
== Better then last week, still sucky.

Deads, Shoulders & Abs


********************************************************************************************

**Workout**

Deadlifts: *warmup*, 0x365, 1x365
== Phew. Today was supposed to be far less intensity, less weight, more reps, more sets. But the gym was closing early so I figured I'd just do 1 heavy one. This is 10lbs short of my PR and there is no way in hell I would have gotten 375. Weaker? Possibly, but I think I could credit it to my hips still being somewhat tolled from the box squats on wednesday. I think the weights at my gym are heavier than at Petes as well. We'll see next week :).

DB Shoulder Press: 10x50s (+4R), 6x55s (+5Ws), 4x55s (+5Ws)
== Mmm, happy with this.

Arnold Presses SS Lateral Raises: 8x35s 10x15s, 8x35s 10x15s
== Gonna keep in this superset from now on for the side delts. This felt good, first time doing Arnies. Will move up next week.

Smith Shrugs SS Rear Delt Machine: 12x2pps 12x90, 9x2pps+10 (+1R) 8x105, 8x2pps+10 9x105
== This SS was just because the gym was closing in 5 minutes. Felt good, trying something new instead of bentover flies. Kinda liked them too :).

[rookiebldr]

must be nice to sleep in until 3 in the afternoon everyday.

As for the deads, it's amazing how I find different gyms affect my 1 rep max. It my just be the day, the conditioning, diet before hand, but I swear the weights are different at each gym. lol I found them heavier at Pete's gym not lighter. :(

Its all mental, weight is weight but your telling yourself your not used to these weights, asking yourself if you can do the same weight with these weights? And thats screwing you up.

[getfit]

oh my mitch look at all your fans ;)

[rookiebldr]

yup, it is all mental. And I can't even figure out why I want to max out on deads when I really only care about the look. However, I do know that max deads have been awesome on my traps and back for growth... so i continue. :)

[rookiebldr]

oh my mitch look at all your fans ;)

LOL fans? He's my bitch, that is all.

[fixationdarknes]

Nice benching and deads.

About the dips, I really think you have a lot more in you but since you're doing them after 2 benching exercises, you get a bit tired out. When I tried Dips fresh right after a benching warmup one day, I hit 14 (almost got 15) reps. But when I did BB Bench, then DB Bench, then DB Flies, and Dips at the end of the workout, I couldn't even get 4 reps.

[Matt04]

Matt: Who said this was a lighter day?

sorry dude thought it was.

anyways nice DB chest press and deads man.

I'll bet if you had taken it easier and then tried to go for max again NEXT week you'd have pulled solid 385.

I know exactly what you mean, i've been told my form looks solid but im just not feeling it in my hams like everyone says i should.

[Alke]

you wont feel SLDL until you pulling 415










just kidding, looks good bro. I never really "felt" SLDL either.

[Coke]

Good stuff - the 5 x 5 squats are difficult to pull off...the entire effort was cool, especially the high rep leg presses.

[Anthony]

Nice leg session. I find I "feel" SLDL more when I put all of my weight on my heels, almost as if my toes are not touching the floor (although I'm sure they are).

[Canadian Crippler]

KevinTank: I know man, isn't it weird?

Alke: Thanks man. It must have done something though since these hammie DOMS are no way fully from leg curls, lol.

Coke: Thanks, the 20 reppers are tough but I really love em.

Tony (by the way, what's up with "Anthony"?): Thanks, and welcome. During one of the reps my toes lifted off and I nearly fell back off the plates, so it seems I am "lifting with the heels". We'll see how it goes next week.

[debussy]

anthony has a good point... keep all your weight on your heels. it will give you hamstrings a better stretch.

I've only recently started doing sldl's and am experiencing the same deal trying to feel it in my hams. I think i'll steal the advice that was given to you:;)

Hey fatty! :D Wow 197 I can't believe it. You've got about 5 lbs on me now. That's okay, you go get fat and I'll just worry about getting stronger. ;)



BTW, I predict within 3 years you'll be 300 lbs of pure, ripped, muscle. Ronnie look out!

[Coke]

Damn Mitch, may as well say you at 200 now - :thumbup: ...session is looking nice and thorough bro.

nice quick session cripp. at least you got a w/o in when you thougt you werent going to..

Are you stuck at 135 on the BB Row??? Last time I was here, you're were benching, and deadlifting heavier than me, and you were doing 135 on the BB Row at that point.

I know mitch rows more than 135. These were obviously light sets for him today.

Jeff: Hair does a man good. :angel:

Mase: Yeah it was a relief to reach my buddy just in time. The gym is actually very good; there are dozens of guys in there just when I go who are on some serious gear and are freakin huge. I saw someone benching 405 for 4 or 5 reps RAW. Not so much in comparison to many lifters, but that's by far the most I've seen live. :D

Session was done in 40 mins or so... then ****ed around with flies for a few mins and posed off. I looked biggest today than I ever have with any pump. :) 198lbs.

I'm really working hard on strength; though the numbers I am most looking forward to increasing are the overhead presses, pullups, dips, squats and deads. I kinda liked this lower volume approach, just 2 heavy sets per exercise. I find when I do 3 heavys it just kills me. I'll likely stick with something like this in the future.

Wow, incredible work there. Hitting PRs left and right.

[Stackattack]

LMAO. I only just noticed your new sig.

In my defence. I saw an ass and a frillyred g-string on a computer moniter with poor resolution. Being Builts avatar, I naturally assumed it was builts ass.

I was only trying to be polite


NOW EAT SH*T AND DIE!!!!!

[fixationdarknes]

lol...polite? You know you wanted to :hump: it. And what's with this poor resolution excuse? tuttut

[pinky8713]

I agree with fix. Ya know man, admitting your homosexuality is the first step.

[Stackattack]

lol. when i first saw it my immediate thought was "thats not a very nice ass" But seeing as it was in builts avatar and due to the girlyness of the underwear i just assumed it was builts ass(Though im sure builts real ass is actually very nice, unlike that abomination of gender confusion in her avatar). The thought that it could be a mans ass never even occured to me so i posted a comment anyway much to my everlasting regret.
Builts deception resulted in complete and utter /pwnage.


And what's with this poor resolution excuse?
Its the best i could come up with.

Aww hell, who the do i think i'm kidding. i knew it was a manass and i loved it.









:hide:

[fixationdarknes]

lol...Stack, I respect the admittance.

Lol I remember I slept through a leg session one time and I was SO F'ing pissed the next day! I know how you feel.

[Zearoth]

Lol. temp = temporary. A little gimmick that we picked up very early when we started lifting about people who would lift for about a week saying how they'd get big, then disappearing the next week. We use this just to motivate eachother when we miss sessions. Also used as a derogatory term to insult others. :)

Whee... First time pretty much ever attempting a 1RM on my deads today. I pulled 295 with one pretty damn slow rep. It's kind of frustrating that I couldn't get 300 but then all of a sudden 295 was possible. Damn, 300 looks about 10x better than 295 when you write it out. Oh well. 3pps here I come!

Calf raises will be done next time on the good ol' seated raise. I was doing about 175 on those for about 9 reps so let's hope to see some sort of improvements.

Deads: 135, 185, 225, 315, 0x385, 0x385
= BOOOOOOOOO. I think I'm getting my hips too low now. Got in a few inches off both times. 315 actually flew up. Trying again next week =/

Overhead DB Press: 7x60s (+2R), 5x60s, 8x50s
== Went well.

Ahnolds: 10x40s, 5x45s
== Eww.

Side Laterals: 10x20s, 6x25s
== 25s were sloppy.

== Not bad.


********************************************************************************************

**Cardio & Other Training**

One-Armed Hangs: L-4 R-3 BW, L-2 R-4 BW
= These are tough, especially at my weight. The freaky asian Zearoth can do 11 seconds with one arm. My goal is to add a 45 and do 5 seconds.

Farmers Holds: 16secx100s, 15secx100s
= About 1 min rest between sets. Likely will have this over 30 seconds in a matter of weeks thus will have to start using rack lockouts with a BB.

Pissed about the deads. But look at the sleep.... I don't expect to PR off that especially since the night before last I aswell only got 3.5 hours.

Grip training is here now. Gonna try to purchase some CoCs and HGs whenever I get a chance.

Saying "**** it" with diet today and getting to sleep on time. Not gonna do squats this week cause I did deads so close to legs... we'll see how the LB feels.

Maybe switch to conventional deads for awhile then go back to sumo. Just a thought.

Yes he does, there's a picture of him doing it somewhere in Rookie's journal. I may try switching to sumo soon and see how I like it.

[bdckr]

Welcome to the world of grip :) My only question is, what took you so long?

When you buy your grippers, if you find a place that sells CoC grippers at a reasonable price, let me know.

Just starting off, those hangs are pretty good. I think you'll be surprised at how fast you improve.

[Guido]

Lol. temp = temporary. A little gimmick that we picked up very early when we started lifting about people who would lift for about a week saying how they'd get big, then disappearing the next week. We use this just to motivate eachother when we miss sessions. Also used as a derogatory term to insult others. :)Ahhhh. Finally I understand...TEMP! :windup:

[Guido]

So you're doing farmers holds now, eh? Are you just copying EVERYTHING I do? j/k

Last time I did it with the 100lb DB's I got 50 seconds. The record on the PL team is 2 minutes 16 seconds. We both have a long way to go. :p

[Canadian Crippler]

Jeff: That would rid me of my strength though :(

Sidior: Thanks, nothin like yours though Mr. Tank

Hockey: No reason to yet. This is the first time I haven't made a gain on Deads since a month or two ago. If it happens for 2-3 more session I'll consider it. Might drop deads all together for a couple months and focus on Rack lockouts, hypers and GMs. We'll see.

fixation: Hockey is wise and all knowing :D.

bdckr: I must thank you though. Likely would never have started it without your influence :D.

I'm gonna see what I can find from local guys I know, though I don't wanna buy used since most of those will be worn out. I think a couple stores carry the IM's or CoCs but for $10 more than online. Then again, factor in shipping and this might be cheaper.

Note that the grip work was done after DLs, shrugs, and everything else. My grip was already fried from them shrugs, lol. I think I can hit agood 5-6 secs with both hands fresh. I might dedicate a day to grip work (and as well still do it like this after some sesisons). Again though, a "wait and see" situation. Still trying to get in rack lockouts.

Guido: T-t-t-t-t-temp!

I could have gotten more on those if they werent done after deads and shrugs and one armed hangs. My hands were so dead, lol. They werent really to failure either. I just kinda stopped at 15secs since Im more focused on increasing my grip for the duration of 1-3 reps (5-8secs or so)

[fixationdarknes]

Yes he does, there's a picture of him doing it somewhere in Rookie's journal. I may try switching to sumo soon and see how I like it.

I see. But even if you could potentially be stronger with sumo, how would you know right away? Wouldn't you have to get used to sumo-ing for the first month or two?

[lilmase1153]

999 Left beeeYotch...

sweet session bro, grip work=HELL although i think i need to start soon since my grip is that of a little girls or Gmans same thing right :D

[MM]

DB presses look pretty good. Were you doing singles on the other DLs?

[Canadian Crippler]

fixation: A few weeks...

lilmase: LMAO. Yeah, that punk Guido really is a skinny bitch. Oh ****, he can read this. :p

MM: 10 with 135, 8 with 185, 6 with 225, 2 with 275, 1 with 315...

[Canadian Crippler]

So my new goal weight is 250lbs by February. This should give me enough time to cut down for the summer and look super huge and ripped.

Missed back today as my whole back (lower and upper) are sore from deads, shoulders and traps. My whole schedule is ****ed to be honest... I'd likely be better off switching to Zdawgs split. We'll see in a week or two.

[pinky8713]

250!?

[getfit]

250!!1!!! you better start eating everything in site even the furniture ;)

[Stackattack]

250 eh? Looks like it'll be 10k cals per day for you. And i'm sure you know how fun thats going to be:D

[fixationdarknes]

lol...you're gonna be huge.

lol...you're gonna be huge.

250 is a little ridiculous but then so are you - :D ...having said that, U can do it!!

60lbs by February?! That's nuts. I just don't see how you can eat like that or think that you can eat like that.

On the otherhand, you're a lot younger than me and nature is on your side. I'd like to take ten solid pounds by February, and still have a few abs/veins to show for it.

Good luck dude.

Then all hell will break loose and I'll have to send a hitman out on you. :ninja:

Legs


********************************************************************************************

**Workout**

Chins: 10xBW
= Waiting for Josh...

Leg Press: 10x5pps, 10x6pps, 4x7pps
== A bit disappointed with the 7pps. I was doing 7pps+25s for 6 back in the day... since then my squat has gone up 50lbs AND from about parallel to almost ATF. So I really don't understand, lol. Maybe my ROM on leg press is deeper now, dunno. It's only to a bit past parallel.

BB Lunges: 6/6x135, 6/6x135
== Had to walk out of the rack over the sides, around the weight tree, in between the pulleys and pec deck, and down 1 step on the track. These were wobly as **** and form was off. Took me some time to get it down but even then I was nearly falling, lol. Gonna have to work on it and find an easier way to get it up.

Lying Leg Curls: 10x120, 7x130, 8x120
== Ken is better than me at these =/.

Decline Crunches: 10x45, 5x50, 7x45
== Josh is better than me at these =/.

Smith Calf Raise: 10x2pps, 7x2pps+35, 9x2pps+25
== I'm alot better than Josh and Ken at these :D.

********************************************************************************************

**Cardio & Other Training**

Phone Book Tears: 1x250pp
= Just showing my bro. I forgot to mention I started these. I worked up to 320pp 2 days ago.


********************************************************************************************

**Sleep (night before)**

3:30 AM - 8:00 AM = 4.5 hours.


********************************************************************************************

**Overall Comments**

Back is still sore from deads. I was gonna do squats anyways with Josh (light, high rep) but he was sore from moving furniture so we gauged for leg press today. Lunges must stay, I am FEELING those today. A little too much in my joints though. Going back light and working on form.

As I've said to a couple of other people, I find BB lunges extremely difficult. I can't keep my balance well, and so haven't even bothered getting acclimated to the exercise. Why do you walk, as opposed to doing them in place?

Nice looking workout. No comment on the phonebook tear...

[Focused70]

:lurk:

[Hockey66]

CC temped out on squats. They're too hard for him. :(

[getfit]

:spam: wait i thought you were strong kiddo! ;)

[Guido]

Guido: Loser. The second I'm 25lbs more than you I'm gonna call you "son" and "boy". :DDoesn't matter. I'll still kick your ass...son. Respect your elders! :whip:

[Zearoth]

CC temped out on squats. They're too hard for him. :(

I think this is a surefire way to tell that Mitch is losing his dedicatino to achieve his fitness goals.

[bdckr]

I'm gonna see what I can find from local guys I know, though I don't wanna buy used since most of those will be worn out. I think a couple stores carry the IM's or CoCs but for $10 more than online. Then again, factor in shipping and this might be cheaper.

Note that the grip work was done after DLs, shrugs, and everything else. My grip was already fried from them shrugs, lol. I think I can hit agood 5-6 secs with both hands fresh. I might dedicate a day to grip work (and as well still do it like this after some sesisons). Again though, a "wait and see" situation. Still trying to get in rack lockouts.

$10 more than the on-line price, or the total on-line incl. shipping? If it's in the range of $35-$40 Cdn, then that would be really good. Let me know if you have any luck. I've got a #3 and #4 coming in, but I might be tempted to get a #2.

I don't mind buying used, depending on the gripper. I wouldn't buy Heavy Grips used, because the price for new is so low. I've got a used IM#1. I've got a used Robert Baraban gripper coming my way (steel handled RB 260), and a bonus is that I got it off somebody who has a lot more experience with different grippers (especially the tougher ones), so I have a better gauge of my progress (apparently the RB 260 is like a tough #3, and the #1 is slightly harder than average). Besides which, RB grippers are expensive to ship from Austria (this one's coming from the U.S.), so it becomes an even better deal.

If they aren't modified (e.g. filed), I've read that grippers tend to hold up pretty well after the first 100 or so closes when te spring seasons.

Nice job on the phonebook tears. I've got to save a few for the next meet so we can go over technique. With your size (I'm assuming big hands to go with it) and good technique, you should be outdoing me in no time.

Chest & Triceps


********************************************************************************************

**Workout**

Flat DB Press: 7x85s (+1R), 10x70s, 6x70s
== Yeah, gonna go back to BB maybe. We'll see. Last set was bad, lol. I die out so quick.

Incline BB Press: 5x155, 10x115
== Last set slow, elbows out. Trying new ways to stimulate the chest rather than triceps.

Machine Flies: 10x135 (+1R), 7x150 (+15W)
== Ye.

Dips @ 197lbs : 9xBW+25 (+1R), 5xBW+35 (+10W), *1xBW+35*, 10xBW
== Good. On the 3rd set, the ****ing rubber handles slipped and turn during the rep. Shoulder and arm twisted and I fell right through, lol. Lucky I didn't get hurt. Tore those sumbitches off and used a kleenex since it was kinda sticky on the metal bars under the rubber handles :p.

Pushdowns: 10x75, 5x85, 8x80
== EXACT same as last week. Dejavu!!!11

Decent session. Gains are definitely slowing down... must eat more. Ive been getting like 5100 the past few days and havent gained a pound with that. Yuck. More food :(

**Feedback**

MM: Phonebook tears are for finger and hang grip strength. Also very fun and it will be great once I can get a full book!

As for the lunges, yeah they are weird. My legs respond to them very well though, so I'm gonna work them.

Stash: Indeed :)

Hockey: How'd you guess?

Sylvia: Don't be a bad girl. ;)

Guido: Pffft. Elders shmelders. I'm 5lbs heavier f00!

Zearoth: What? You temped out on deads last week? but.... but why?

bdckr: I'm quite confident I saw them for $42.99 somewhere. I'll keep you updated.

I don't know much about grippers so most of that confused me, lol. I know I'd rather throw in an extra $20 than waste hours looking and contemplating different orders from different places. I'd much rather get Stretching Scientifically than grippers at this point though, so we shall see.

I've got like 8 phonebooks still lol. I have some of those thick ass 1800pp whitepages from the late 90s. Jealous? :D

********************************************************************************************

[bdckr]

You can't go wrong either way. Grippers are a lot of fun, and Kurz really knows his stretching. Did I mention, down to between 8-9" off the ground?

8 phonebooks? I don't know how you control yourself. Each time I get a couple phonebooks, they're done by the end of the day.

Here's the 1424 pp beast from yesterday:

[fixationdarknes]

Dood nice workout. Congrats on the PRs. Good luck with the phone book...lol, I wish I could rip a phone book.

[lilmase1153]

big #s on the db press mitch.. ace w/o you big old canadian focker

[debussy]

phone book tearing has more to do with technique than raw hand strength.

Canadian Cripple, what are you trying to achieve with grippers anyway? Crushing grip has little carry over to supporting grip just so you know. Grippers are just good if you want to hurt someone when you shake their hand.

[fixationdarknes]

Grippers are just good if you want to hurt someone when you shake their hand.

But I DO want to hurt someone when I shake his hand.

I did about 350 pages the other day...took a few tugs, but I was vyer surprised how fast I got the first tear.

********************************************************************************************

**Workout**

Flat DB Press: 12x70s, 10x70s, 6x70s, 10x60s
= Did chest just on Friday, so went light on these. Boy do I die out quick.

Machine Flies: 9x150 (+2R)
== Got bored waiting for a bench warmer to finish his sets. Won't knock on him too hard as he's a really nice guy.

Bentover BB Row: 10x135, 10x165 (+2R), 6x185 (+20W), 10x145
== Went well. Not too happy with my form on 185 though apparantly it was perfectly fine. Might just be the feeling of losing grip with the heavy weight (heavy for me atleast).

DB Military Press: 3x55s, 6x50s, 5x50s
== This took a big beating. Usually I do these fresh and with 60s for 5 smooth reps. Now after chest and back I am WEEEAAAK at these. Big hit on the ego for sure.

Pushdowns: 8x80, 9x80 (+1R), 8x75
== W0rd.

Seated DB Curls: 9x40s (+3R), 6x40s (+1R)


********************************************************************************************

**Cardio & Other Training**

Phone Book Tears: 1x300pp, few sets of form work
== My form on these has gotten worst. I had mastered it and ripped 320 quite easily, but since then something's been going wrong. Review time.


********************************************************************************************

3:30 AM - 8:30 AM = 5 hours.

9:30 AM - 1:00 PM = 3.5 hours


********************************************************************************************

**Overall Comments**

New split.. upper/lower/rest/upper/lower/rest/rest . Some things were fresher (curls for instance) so good increases. Some things were more fatigued (millies) so a hit on the ego there.

Overall I'm happy with how this went. BB Rows especially.

********************************************************************************************

**Feedback**

bdckr: My form is so off that they just frustrate me, lol. I'm looking for more books for the day I get these down! Good work on the splits btw... I'm still as unflexible as a steel girder :(.

Matt04: I don't :(.

fixation: Should progress very fast once I get the form down.

lilmase: Thank's asshair. :D

debussy: Yep, it has to do with both though. And yes, I just want a strong grip to break peoples hands. There is SOME transfer over though.


********************************************************************************************

[pinky8713]

Nice lifting dude, especially the rows.

I forgot what you told me or if you told me - What made you go back to an upper/lower routine?

[debussy]

nice lifting

[TTT]

Good work Cripster.
Good luck with the phone books, that looks pretty hard.

[Guido]

What's with the phone book tearing obsession all of a sudden? I have to learn about this technique so I can rip up some Chicago phone books. Those mofo's are like 2,000+ pages for the white pages alone.

Smith Calf Raise: 10x2pps+25, 7x3pps (+20W), 6x3pps (+20W)
== Wen't well. Pause at the bottom... however my heel ends up resting on the ground a bit cause' the pilates stool is freakin' short. Don't know if this matters or not?

Cybex Ab Crunch: 16x110, 10x130, 8x130

********************************************************************************************

**Overall Comments**

Not too shabby. Good thing I went light because 385 on deads woulda been a no go today.

Some stupid trainer starting giving me **** about dropping the weights when I do deads. I first tried to explain to her if I go any slower I'll wreck my back, it's just the way the exercise is. She decides to tell me I should be going lighter because dropping the weights in inappropriate and distracting. This is coming from the gym that has tons of guys dropping DBs after presses and where half there members scream to eachother across the gym about totally negatable topics. The gym had to replace like 5 pairs of DBs because jackass kept dropping them, but rather than even saying 1 word about that she gets one about deadlifting. Ticked me off, so I told her to go watch a powerlifting meet and she'll understand. Apparantly this was bad attitude so she starts mouthing off at me, which advanced me to tell her I'd be happy to leave the gym for good with a full refund of the membership price. Then she left. Whore.

Incline DB Press: 6x65s, 5x65s, 4x65s, 6x60s
= Pretty weak on these. Shouldnt be this much less than my flat. ****, it's only 5lbs more than my overhead and this incline aint even that high.

Seated Cable Row: 10x165 (+1R), 7x180 (+15W), 7x180 (+15W), 7x180 (+15W)
== Got a huge blister on my hand so all pulling was kinda off today. Opted for SCRs. Went well, good weight :D.

Arnies: 10x40s, 9x45s, 7x45s
== K.

Dips @ 197lbs SS Standing DB Curls: 14xBW (+4R)/8x40s, 12xBW(+2R)/6x40s, 10xBW
== The regular dip station was out of order so I had to resort to using the one I dont like (thin handles, kinda narrow). I was surprised that my strength was still there with them since I usually have a problem with it.

**Overall Comments**

Quicker workout, done in about 50 minutes. I had a buddy whos new to lifting come in so some of the time was spent explaining and helping with form.

Word. Back doesn't feel fried enough from the SCRs and chest kinda feels like it still has juice in it... I guess thats ok though since Im hitting it twice a week. Gotta get used to it.

In other news, I need to get laid before mid october via a bet with a buddy. This is especially hard for me since Im bad at woman, pretty ugly, and I don't really like girls my age at all. I am getting MUCH better at this though... even getting a few smiles when I wear my good (tight) t-shirts :D.

2 cuties (about my age) were hitchhiking right near my street... too bad I was with my bro instead of a buddy else I woulda picked them up. Had a pump too hehe.

I got my G1 license today. Gonna go out with my mom and bro alot this next few weeks and learn to drive well enough to take the car out at night. This is likely the only way I can win that bet.

(and yes, much of my life now is revolving around ways to pickup woman without being a poser gino *******. It's a hard task at my age :()
