July 24

Sumo Deadlifts
205 x 5
245 x 5
285 x 5
325 x 5

Incline Bench Press
145 x 5
175 x 5
205 x 5
235 x 5

Chinups
BW x 5
BW x 5
BW x 5
BW+15 x 5
BW+45 x 5

Side Laterals
35 x 10
40 x 7

*Made a little adjustment to the program today, switched up to the 5x5 linear version of the program. The dual factor was too much volume for me and I was feeling pretty beat up, and with not sleeping well, work and extra activities, it wasn;t gonna fly. Sure the easy first 2 weeks were ok, but after saturday, I could tell I was heading for problems..

this setup is a lot less volume, still 5x5, but you work up to a top set of 5 instead of doing a heavy 5x5 with the weight all the same. big difference on the deadlifts, the DF routine called for 5 x 5 at 310 today, I think my back would have snapped. The one heavy set at 325 was PLENTY.

this method allows for small increments on that top set every week of like 5 or so pounds, so it is a good progression, whereas the DF method, you bust your ass off for 6 or more weeks for one increment of progression.

i feel great after this workout, a lot more refreshed than after the bashing I took on Saturday.

Decent workout....deads were pretty easy, dips were easy, the pulls were pretty easy, the curls were kind of tough though for some reason. I really hate curling, but hey, it's beach season, gotta do what we gotta do right?

the high pulls were kind of fun actually...a lot better for the delts than doing stupid side laterals, lol, so anything that replaces side laterals is ok in my book

My back is fine today actually, and to add insult to injury, I had to unload 50 printers off the FedEx truck and down into the storage room in the basement of my building, plus move 30 PCs to a new spot and about 100 laptops and 50 flat panels to another storage room in the basement, with just one other guy, so yeah, the back held up ok for now

And yes, the dips were pretty easy...kind of like you and your chins

I actually work in the middle school in the district. I am at the high school occassionally, but not often. The middle school kids are punks man...you would think if you saw some bald headed 215 pound guy with tattooed arms coming at you that you would give him room and space in the hall ways? Nope...I am the one getting out of THEIR way.

Not so much attitude, although one computer lab class from last year always called me "Strong Guy" when I walked in the room. "Hey, it's Stong Guy again", or "Damn, that guy is jacked", and my personal favorite was when they asked me if I take steroids....I laughed quite loudly, "Why, do I look like I do?", "Well, yeah". That's kind of a cool compliment, even if it's from 14 year olds

*Edit--notes
ok now that I have eaten dinner and attempted to cool off, I can post some notes about the workout
--my basement workouts need to be changed on really hot days, I mean it isn't even funny, I feel like I am working out inside a plastic bag, for lack of a better description. Just doing one set feels like an entire workout, sweat pouring out of me like you would not believe. Basically it sucks, but if I can get through on of my workouts in these conditions, I think I can do anything training wise....

--Squats were cool today, they felt good. Widened the stance a little bit more, now it's about 1.5 times shoulder width, and it made a big difference. the 285, I wouldn't say was easy, but all three reps were pretty much struggle free.

--Bench was tough--got a nagging pain in my right shoulder that I can't get rid of. Killed on my warmups, but actually went away as the weights got heavier . the 307.5 was spotter and safety stand free, meaning, I had each rep. Rep 3 was a fight, but not really. Saturday's workout calls for the same 307.5 but for 5 reps...that will be tough. Might break out the spotter stands for that. BTW, this is where fractional plates (1 1/4 pounds) come in handy, so you can make small increments for a better chance at success.

--The rows just suck, I hate them...they are quite tough.

--Chins felt good, the BW+50 felt a bit tough, but maybe cause it was so far into the workout and I was already overheated and had a headache by then. So I will chaulk it up to that.

I do give them real evil stares when I am not in a good mood, like don't even think about getting in my way or messing with me today, or else youre gonna lose.

They know their place when I give them the evil face (no pun intended!)

thanks man! yeah, I know I gotta keep an eye on the shoulder...i already stopped doing inclines and overhead stuff, so hopefully that will help.

I really like the 5x5 programs, something I definitely recommend to anyone looking for a change

Posted by: Stewart20

yeah, speak for yourself, I don't buy the old excuse...if anything, it just makes things a little bit more difficult, but we can do it all the same.

I think the only difference between us in our 30s and people that are in their teens and 20s is that they are more naturally lean than us. We are and can be every bit as strong, just maybe not as lean as a younger lad

Well, as you can see, this is not a 5x5 workout, but rather one of my old westside routines that I dug out of my routines folder. While I liked the progress on the 5x5, it was becoming to repetitive and I was feeling a bit run down, also getting some nagging pains, like in my shoulder. Too much benching. And my lower back was taking a pounding from 2 days of squats and one day of deads each week.

At least westside you only go heavy once a week on the lower body, so hopefully i can still push some big numbers and recover a little bit in the lower back and shoulder areas

No seriously, do you have a window in your basement? can you put a window unit in???

Plastic bag! LOL I like that, it's what it feels like that's for sure...

I actually have 3 windows in the area where my home gym is, but I honestly never even thought about putting an A/C in the windows....I'll have to check that out, the windows are really old, I have to see if I can take them out and replace with a unit...

Good idea I am glad you thought of it

yeah, it was a minor miracle, lol

but you see, inevitably, I always wind up changing due to something not working with the old routine, usually told to me by a nagging injury or pain or something...

eh, who am I kidding, I just can't make up my mind!

What's your plan for Westside ?

Any specific goals you want to hit? I'm trying to figure out some new goals myself.

I dont really have a goal per se, but if I did, it would be to develop and strengthen my core strength, abs, low back and hamstrings.

I always used to think big biceps and shoulders were the key to lifting big things, but then I noticed one day when my back was sore, how much I felt it in my back when I lifted something, anything really.

So I want to make my back-side (not my ass ) as strong as I can make it.

I am also gonna incorporate an upper back movement every day, even the lower body days, as I want to get those numbers up as well. So on the bench days, I will work with rows, and on the lower body days, I will do pullups (bodyweight for max reps) and chinups (heavy and weighted)

I didn't bother posting the routine I made up, but if you would like to see it for some ideas, let me know and I will post it


Posted by: yellowmoomba

Sounds good but I would not hit your back more than 3 times a week. Your lower back will take a beating with deads and squats. Pullups, Chins and Rows are definitely the way to go.

well, it's only one back exercise per day for 3 sets, so it is possible to do it everyday, it isn't a lot of volume per day. To be honest, I have made the best progress on my back work by doing lots of frequency and less volume per session

What's the concept behind "speed bench" ? I'm not much of a "westsider"?

Well, the "theory" is that you train yourself to lift fast so that it can help you to put up the maximum attempt faster. For example, when I did my max decline bench the other day, the 350 went up, but it took a few seconds. The speed training is "supposed" to help get that 350 up faster. You use a lighter weight to try to achieve maximum velocity in the lift. Kind of like, what can you throw with the most velocity....a ping pong ball, a baseball, or a bowling ball? The baseball....

I have never seen a true benefit from doing speed work, but obviously it works since the big boys do it. Only thing I got in the past was sore elbows, as the speed work is quite tough on the joints. I would like to stick with it though, assuming my elbows don't act up again to see if I can get some kind of benefit out of it.

yeah, it's like you know your legs can do so much more,but you just can't do more cause you can't hold the damn bar!

Such is the limitations of working out at home, no leg presses for me

Had my wife put her hands under the bar, not even touching the bar for the 355 attempt and nailed it. It is amazing how psychology plays into these lifts. I got smoked on the 360, I moved it maybe 4 inches off my chest if that, then I nailed the 355 with her hands there. Wierd....

Posted by: Burner02

was'sup, big guy!
Nice #'s!
It's amazing what the mind will help you do when it's been 'tricked'....
when I was abloe to lift heavy, I'd have the spotter have hands on bar...bit not to help unless I needed it.
When u have a spotter, you know you aren't gonna get pinned under the bar, so you really let it rip...where as, w/out spotter, you will hold back some. that 'hard-wired' process in your brain..

so I figure the trap bar will let me do great lower body workouts without killing my back, so I think once I get it, I will be going exclusively with the trap bar for a while, till my back can "heal up" a bit I guess

Let me know how you like it. You might also consider getting some wrist straps so you can really load up the weights. I only use wrist straps on Trap Bars Deads and DB rows.

Hopefully I will receive my trap bar by next wednesday, so I will include trap bar deads (or squatlifts as some people call them ) and shrugs with the trap bar in this workout....

didn't do decline crunches cause the tops of my feet are badly sunburned from a fishing trip yesterday and the tops of my feet need to rest under a bar on my decline bench, so I skipped these too

Once you start using 130s for DB rows you'll want 'em That would probably be like "rowing yourself' ...........

yeah, doing ok I guess, real busy lately, I have only skimmed through a couple of pages in your journal and I'm glad to see you slowly getting back to normal.

But if I were you, I would go for the ju jitsu....why the hell not? but then again, I am sure if anything happens again remotely like what happened you will probably just go apeshit on the guy naturally and won't need any martial arts, just fist #1 and fist #2

no step up, just bent till my knee was about an inch from the floor....

and I hated them! They are hard as hell! I did them on wednesday also and my legs and ass were still sore from those 3 sets! But I really need to do them since they place less stress on my lower back and still hit the legs real good. I am trying to protect my lower back, a little more than I have been, which is one reason I ordered the trap bar.

My first attempt at full body workouts, inspired by YM and his fantastic workouts. It was tough...my conditioning sucks ass. I tried alternating rep ranges on the exercises, I split my full body attempt into 2 days that I will rotate m, w, and f. one day, the exercise for the bodypart will be 6 reps, the other day 10 reps. For example with chest....db bench will be 10 reps and regular bench press will be 6 reps, etc.

2 sets per exercise is fun though ...no messing around, get in there, pound away and get out, lol


Posted by: Bakerboy

Damn fine workout. Two sets per exercise is a good idea when starting a full body program. Very smart.

Hey S20 -

The program looks good. FBWs are the way to go!! Nice DB Presses (you bastard!!)


Posted by: yellowmoomba

FYI .. on your third day you might want to lower the weight and increase the reps but do "different exercises". Always use compound movements for at least 75% of your workout. For example - if you squat on Monday for 6 reps , do 10 rep deads on Wed - try to do Lunges with 15 reps on Friday. You'll still hit your legs pretty good with Lunges.

so what you're proposing, is to do say 3 different exercises for each body part with a different rep range? Intriguing idea, that way I can spread the 6, 10 and 12 rep sets (I don't like 15 reps, is a waste to me) across the week, so that there isn't one rep range predominantly for each day.

I will definitely think about it

Exactly - keep changing the rep range. One week do deads for six reps next week do deads for 10 then the following week either add more weight than you did for six reps or go for 7 or 8 reps

Sorry I haven't been too talkative lately guys.....my best friend's mom died on wednesday night from an out of the blue heart attack and to add insult to injury, my wife has been in the hospital for the past 2 nights and tonight as well for observation for pre term labor stuff. she is 33 weeks and 2 cm dilated already.

She got 2 steroid shots for the baby's lungs (I tried to get her to smuggle me some of that, but no dice ) and she is on some medication that starts with a T to stop contractions

so all in all, its been a damn fine week

Sorry to hear about that ........ I wish you and your wife well

Not a good week at all... Really sorry to hear of your friends mom. My folks are up there in age and I am dreading that day(s).

It's been a couple of days since you posted. How is your wife and baby doing? Everything will turn out fine .


Posted by: Stewart20

thanks for all the kind words guys

mom is home now and is on bed rest, so hopefully this will delay things a bit. So far, so good, but it's only been a couple of days.

as for my friend, he is hanging in there, it's just gonna take A LOT of time, thats' all, but everyone in the end winds up ok, their loved ones would want it that way, especially his mom--no doubt she is in a better place now, so that gives us some comfort at least....

BW+60 x 5 (RP) 3
total reps=14

Chest Supported Rows
180 x 5
180 x 6 (RP) 2
total reps=13

DB Curls
60 x 7

total reps=14

Hamstring Curls(crappy home machine free weight)
100 x 10
120 x 6 (RP) 2
total reps=8 @ 120


well, it seems DC training is getting some good results around here, so I decided to take a stab at it, only my version will be SteweyCrap training, cause I don't think I can muster the intensity to make one double rest paused set work for me. So i am experimenting with one straight set followed by a rest paused set. I am aiming to fall in the DC prescribed 11-15 total rep range, and once I hit 15 I will up the weight.

Let's face it, I can't make up my mind, so I will just try everything...I haven't lost anything really, so it's all good.

things are going good....wife is resting at home, today is 34 weeks, one more to go, then I will be A LOT more relieved.....but all is going well right now....i think work was too much for her at this stage....she's a tough one though, she wanted to work right until the end and gets upset because she sees other people doing it....well, I say to her, but you are not other people...don't worry about them, worry about yourself and that's it!
