Maddog's Mayhem II

[Anthony]

Madchihuahua, bummer about the 405, but you're getting close! Next attempt!!

[vox]

I am surprised and not surprised you went for 405lbs already. Didn't you just start doing squats again?

[Maddog]

Yes

Heavy stuff. Any problem getting those 120 lb dumbells into postion for overhead presses? Are you seated or standing?

[Maddog]

Yeah they are tough to get started. I actually had trouble this week with the 110's. I missed getting the left side up and struggled to get started.

I do seated presses.

Chest. Monday June 21

Dumbbell Press: 120x12,130x10,140x7
Incline Bench: 245x10,265x7,285x5

Man, I've never been stronger on db presses as I was this week. Incline didn't get the same progress but I did get an extra rep on the last set.

Maddog

[vox]

Nice work, you got an extra rep on both dumbell and incline bench

Tell the gym to start ordering some new dumbells.

[Maddog]

Going to cut the weight back on the Spider Row. It was abit too heavy. I will prolly start at 225 and increase by 15lbs.

Not training legs this week. Had to go to the chiropractor. I tweeked my back abit last week during squats.

Maddog

[vox]

Just wondering how your back is doing, did the session help any? Have you been taking some time off, or just not posting?

[Maddog]

Dumbbell Shoulder Press: 100x10,110x4

The first set of shoulder press was good but after that I was just exhausted so I called it quits for shoulder press.

Chiropractor went well and I think I'll be doing legs agin this week.

Spider Curls: 50x11,60x8/7(1),65x4

Bumped up the weight on hammers and spiders. That was nice after yesterday's workout.

Maddog

[Anthony]

Nice work. Cry me a river about the 110's on shoulder press. What are your plans for legs this week?

[Maddog]

Chest. Monday June 28

Dumbbell Press: 130x10,140x8,140x7
Incline Bench: 245x11,275x7,295x5

Still moving up. I've never been this strong on these exercises. I could have had 9 reps second set. I will try for that next week.

An-Tron, I plan on doing the same routine but may lighten up on the weight for front squats. I feel great right now and I will be going to the chiropractor again Tuesday night.

Maddog

[Anthony]

Nice pressing. Did you train legs?

[Maddog]

Spider Row: 225x10,245x7,265x5

Anthony, I didn't do legs because my lower back muscles were still tender from the chiropractor session.

Maddog

[Anthony]

That's good to hear. Gives me an extra week to catch up. Nice work on the pullups ... pretty crazy someone your size adds weight to the belt!!

Chest. Monday July 5

Dumbbell Press: 130x10,140x7,140x6
Incline Bench: 255x10,275x7,295x4,315x1

Thanx Cocoa.

Energy level wasn't great. Went for a 2 hour bike ride with the brother-in-law. What a dumb idea. Well my mountain bike is just a tangled ball of metal now in my backyard.

I went for 3 pps for incline bench and got it. I've been talking to An-tron about some things on benching like keeping my lats tight and bringing my shoulder blades together and it work well on the 315 attempt on incline.

Maddog

[vox]

lol@tangled all of metal.

[Anthony]

Where did you mangle your bike? A friend of mine tore his leg up pretty bad when we went out by the dam (the old resevoir?). Nice work on the incline, foo!! Now GTFOMB!!

[Maddog]

I mangled my bike in the backyard with my bare hands. Thats what it gets for wasting my energy and f@#$ing up my workout.

An-Tron, no one tells me to GTFOMB!!
