Goddamit Eric. I thought these were pounds. I was so relieved that I wasn't the only one that struggled with the heavy weights. And wtf is this: [ QUOTE ] I know I'm not very strong and because of my lack of strength, it's sometimes a little disheartening but the kind words help me keep on pushing! [/ QUOTE ] How is bench-pressing 200lbs not strong? Hyachachacha, you put me on life-tilt. [/ QUOTE ] |

Re: The EricW log
I'd rather not give any stats 'cause I'd prefer to remain relatively anonymous on the net but let's just say I'm not impressive at all.
Today: Front Squats: 66x5 for 5 sets Romanian Dead Lift: 93x5 for 5 sets Standing Military Press: 50x5, 50x5, 52x5, 52x5, 52x3 |

Re: The EricW log
Decent workout today. It was my first "de-loading" workout so everything came up really easily and felt light.
Front Squat: 170x3 for 3 sets Bench Press: 155x3, 175x3, 195x3 Pendlay Row: 130x3, 145x3, 165x3 I'm a little frustrated though because even though I've been going to the gym etc, I'm not really making any progress. I'm still really skinny and not strong at all. |

[/ QUOTE ] Are you gaining weight? If you're not gaining weight, you're not eating enough. You can workout all you want, but without a caloric surplus your body simply can't add muscle. Try eating a *lot* more. If you find yourself gaining fat, cut back a little, but I doubt that will happen. |

Re: The EricW log
Hi friend,
I noted a few posts back that I'm mainly just trying to retain muscle mass while also retaining strength. My crappy commute + school makes me too lazy to eat the amount of cals that I need to gain weight [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Anyways, today: Romanian Deadlifts: 205x3 for 3 sets Standing Military Press: 115x3 for 3 sets I also just started training calves again. About 6 months ago, my right ankle went through a 2nd degree sprain and it has not fully healed until now. I went about a good month before I was even able to walk normally. Needless to say, because I haven't been able to train calves, my calves have atrophied terribly and now they're extremely small and weak. Single leg DB calve raise (with a 2 second pause at the bottom, and a 1 second contraction at the top): 25x9 (both legs), 25x8, 25x8 |
