DB seated press - (suprised myself) 45lb dumbells x bout 6 reps, 40lb dumbells x 8 reps, 35lbs x 10 reps
Then I decided to do behind the neck presses instead of regular militaries.
95lbs x 2 good clean reps + 1 forced, 80lbs x bout 7 low reps

Cencentration Curls - 35lb dumbell x 5-6 reps, 30lb dumbell x 4 reps + 2 forced, 25lb dumbell x 5 + 1 forced, these completely destroyed my biceps. I could've stopped after the first set and had a good workout.
Hammer curls - barely managed to pull off 5 reps with 20lb dumbells after those concentration curls

Dumbell skull crushers(just felt like tryin em) - 35lb dumbells x 2 then straight to 30lb dumbells x 4, 25lb dumbells x 5, 20lb dumbells x 4, burned like fuggin hell. I only had 20 minutes to work with after my shoulder workout, so arms had little rest between sets.
Then did tricep pushdowns with 40lbsx 4 or 5 reps, then had ta leave.

Over-all an excellent workout, I'm thinkin I'm gonna be huge by summer. I could hardly lift my arms. Today so far tris and shoulders are EXTREMELY sore, biceps are starting to get pretty sore. I need to ******* eat, its becoming easy to slack of with my diet this week, but at least I'm gettin lotsa sleep. I'm goin to eat, leg workout later today.

Didn't lift tuesday cuz I was busy, the stayed up till 6AM today. Slept till 1PM, then worked out at 3. As you can imagine, it sucked ass. I felt really hot the whole day, and the gym wasn't any different. I was exhausted. Managed to get some good **** in anyways:
Leg press machine- 200x10 easy, 230x3, 220x6
Leg extension- 130x10 perfect reps w/ hold at top, 150x10

Hyperextension/glute-ham raises- BWx10, BW+20lbs(EZ curl bar behind neck)x10, BW+60lbsx5 crappy reps, BW+40lbsx6 kick ass reps.

Then just left cuz I felt like ****. Might miss rest of workouts this week.

Kickass workout today:
DB bench press- 60'sx5 hard ass reps, 50'sx6 clean reps, 45'sx7 good reps.
DB flies- 20'sx10 w/ slow ass negatives, 20'sx8
Dips- BWx8(not dissapointing cuz of those presses and flies)

DB rows- 80lb dumbellx3, 70x6, 60x8 (last set kicked ass)
Machine pullover- 130x5 ok reps, 110x8
Chins- BWx2 w/ slow ass negatives

Notes: ass is a cool word.

Really got the blood pumping. I hope these chins start goin up, but it doesn't really bother me cuz my lats were resonably exhausted b4.....

Weighed 181. I'm gonna maintain weight for a while and see if I can burn off some of this god damned fat.

Workouts are looking good bro. Good luck with getting the results that you want. Are you still doing lots of forearm work? I am hitting up reverse BB curls and incline hammer curls for my brachioradialis, DAMN do they work!

Great work,man! Yeah, ass is a cool word.

And
MonStar = Forearm Freak

Notes: I have never been this sore in my life, especially hamstrings and pecs...... jeez...

Just curious what grip you use when you hang form the chin bar. Overhand/underhand, how wide?

Pronated, slightly wider than shoulder width.

None of this pussy mixed grip for my ego tuttut

[Chris Rodgers]

I didn't mean mixed, I meant overhand or underhand foo! I'm gonna try those maybe this week just to make you feel weak.
