Arms BB Curls 9x90 7x90 8x80 Incline Hammer Curls 2x10x30 8x35 Military Press 8x115 Close Grip Bench 15x115 2x8x155 Skullcrushers 8x35 2x8x30 2 sets of tricep pulldowns forget weight cuz it was on a weird station, cuz the gym was closing soon. Good workout overall, couldnt get the 10x90 but still felt really strong and great endurance. also missed shoulders yesterday and got one set of mil press in, after a pretty intense bi workout, and still set a new pr so thats good. hopefully can get a plate on each side with that soon. close grip bench felt really good, first set had no idea what weight to do but we were getting low on time so i just stuck with it for 15 reps, prolly coulda done a few more. will know for next time tho. Next week: 10x90 bb curl, maybe 8x165 on CGBP. Tmrw: legs, weeee -Mike |

legs Squats 10x225 8x245 12x225 7x245 lying hammy curls 2x10x120 8x120 Military Press 10x115 5x135 8x125 lateral db raise 10x17.5 Good strength today. Squats went up, altho I thought my form was a tad iffy at 245. Prolly will try again next week on that, since 225 I thought was relatively easy this week and my form was very good. Decided to get in a mini shoulder workout too, since I did high volume squats and didnt feel like doing lunges. Strength there was very good, considering my best previously was I think 8x115, and I usually do that first thing in the workout (not after legs [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]) So yah. Next week goals: Squats 8x245, better form. Mil press: 8x135 or better. Monday: Chest -Mike |

Chest Bench 9x185 7x185 8x175 Inc DB Press 9x70 8x70 7x70 Pullovers 10x65 5x75 8x70 Pec Deck 3x115x8 Meh, slow strength gains on chest lately. Endurance is getting a bit better. I think I need to up my cals a bit and stop being lazy about food. I was def eating a lot better before. Oh well, still a bit of progress and I know my newbie gains are slowing a lot so I guess its not all bad. Threw in pec deck for a change but will be going back to flies next week. Pullovers went well..I picked up the 75 thinking it was a 70 so thats why I went so high..it was hard haha. Next weeks goals: Id like to do some 195 on bench I dunno how many reps. Maybe 10x70 on inc or maybe move up to 75s for a little bit. Tmrw: Back. plz grip be good..still have some pretty bad callouses (sp?) from...who knows. back last week prolly. Should be fun. -Mike |

Back WG Pullups 10, 9, 7 Deadlifts 10x245 8x275 5x295 6x295 Bent Row 2x8x110 7x110 Meh. Grip was a tiny bit better but still coulda done prolly 295x8 on the last set and more on the 2nd last set as well. Got a set of grippers today tho (not CoC couldnt find them up here, but these go from 100lbs to 350, altho i only got up to 250 and only that high cuz it was a cheap package deal) Also gonna get a callous file hopefully tmrw or the next day. Grippers will be at least a week shipping so that sorta sux but meh. Anyways yah Next weeks goals: I dunno. Depends how my grip is I really think I could get 315x5 if my grip was ok next week so ill shoot for that. Tmrw: Shoulders. Excited for this as its where ive been making the most progress (my shoulders have always been pretty strong) -Mike |

Shoulder Mil Press 2x5x145 5x140 4x140 5x135 Hang Clean 8x95 2x6x105 Lateral Raises 10x17.5 2x10x20 Rear Delt Machine 10x120 7x150 10x140 Front DB Raises 2x10x20 8x25 Very good strength. Beat my PR on every set of mil press so that was sweet. Also did some hang cleans for the first time ever. I dunno how my form was...I think it was ok. I thought the weight was pretty heavy but I didnt go all out since it was my first time. Might keep this in my shoulder day and prolly take out front DB raises or the rear delt machine. Wasnt gonna do front raises today but GF wasnt done her workout so I had time to kill. Also added 5+ lbs on these FINALLY so that was good. So yah, great workout, great intensity, felt good. Next week goals: 5x150? I dunno. Id like to be able to mil press my body weight, hopefully soon. Tmrw: Legs. Note: Got the day wrong yesterday, getting a callous file tonite hopefully.(My callouses were still really bad today the hang cleans hurt them.) Oh yah one more thing...when I was lowering from the clean position back into the hang position, this really sort of hurt my forearms and they got a bit tingly sometimes. Is this normal cuz Im just starting, or a form issue? Also, does any1 have that link of Olift variants? I forget where it is but I see it posted around here a lot. Thanks -Mike |

Thanks -Mike [/ QUOTE ] That's weird. The top of my shoulder joint sometimes hurts from going to the rack position to the hang position. Perhaps try absorbing some of the weight with your thighs on the way down? Ideally you'd want to just drop the weight from the rack position, as I think going from rack to hang position can cause undue injury. Few of us have the right set up to do this though. Perhaps try using some leg bend to control the down portion? |
