Ooooohhh, your new program looks very fun and interesting. I bet you won't get bored on this one.
|
|
That routine looks very interesting. I may copy it soon. Would that be ok? I realy like it!
|
|
Meals look pretty good. Only question first meal seems pretty high in fat/sat fats.
|
|
LOL. Just thought I would ask Assuming 3 large eggs that is 15 g of fat with 6 of those saturated.
plus the ground beef (I guess it depends on how lean you get) |
|
Good luck with the new program. Do you need more pulling on the upper core day?
|
|
You could also not use any outside support all together and rest your non working hand on the adjacent thigh.
|
|
Plyos go at the beginning, unless you are complexing, then you can do them 2-3 minutes after each strength set as an in-between set exercise.
I would recommend doing them at the beginning, though. Keep volume low, and do upper body plyos on leg day, lower body plyos on upper day. |

Seeing there is no much sat fat in the rest of his diet, that 6 grams is nothing. The ground beef will only be 2G of fat for the amount he is using. So it's not that much at all and the rest of the fats throughout the day will make up for it. Besides, sat fat in the AM is good for elevating cortisol levels.

And I'm going to do them without kneeling on the bench. I'm going to do them by simply bracing on the end of the bench with my free hand.
|
|
Jumps to box, 1 leg hops, and depth drops would be a good start for legs
Drop push-up, semi-kneeling side toss, and overhead bounce pass are good upper body ones. Just work on landings and deceleration at first, then worry about explosive strength. Drop push-up Start kneeling and work towards standing. Side Toss- I would stand sideways to the wall, though, and possibly do it in a semi-kneeling manner (Lunge facing sideways with leg closest to wall up and the other one kneeling on ground). Overhead bounce- Drive the ball about 3-4 feet in front of you, directly into the floor. Have it rebound off a wall and repeat. |
|
Good luck with the new program DOMS.
Why not do yoga on one or two of your training days (in the morning or evening, opposite to when your train) so you can have at least one day that is a complete rest day. Also, your snatch should go first on your upper core day. Will you be doing these with a BB or DB's? Also, I think your Lower power day needs some tweaking: I would replace the leg extensions for step ups. And what do you plan to do rep and set wise? |


|
and there is it folks!!
I'm sure you'll make a few more tweaks as it goes along...maybe. Saxon side bends, nice. I am doing those today actually! First time ever. |
|
They look like a lot of fun. Let me know what you think about them.

Noice!
btw, I don't understand your journal title. Could you explain its meaning? ![]() |

I loved that movie except for the fact that even when I was a kid I knew computers didn't work like that.
|

|
So...you are trying to slow down???
Shheesh, DOMS...for a mtrosexual....thought your spelling would be better...What are the guys at GQ gonna think about this??? ![]() |
|
Did u happen to catch that show: 'Trading Spouses' Friday night? They had that freaky 'God Warrior' girl go to a black family's house? THe balck couple are racist towards white people...of course...it was continues till next Friday..where the 'good' stuff comes out...
|
|
When are you planning to start your new program, DOMS- is all in order?
Are you still doing sprints? Any ideas on how you are you going to set that up? |
Day 1: Upper Power, StretchingSo I should be sprinting on Wednesday and Sunday.
Day 2: Lower Power, Stretching
Day 3: Sprinting, Stretching
Day 4: Plyos, Upper Core, Stretching
Day 5: Plyos, Lower Core, Stretching
Day 6: Off
Day 7: Sprinting, Stretching
69 posts and not a workout to be seen.
Oops, make that 70.

|
Yep, all my ducks are a in row. I have all of my food items and my workout has been finalized.
I'm starting today. Here's my plan: Day 1: Upper Power, StretchingSo I should be sprinting on Wednesday and Sunday. |
|
I asked because you showed seven days that only listed my strength days; but I get your point.
|
|
Plyos are power, they are done on the same day. Strength is separate from those days.
|
|
How long did that take you? If your shoulder hurts you better go light on your cleans. Good job DOMS!
|
|
Sorry, snatches... that's what I meant.
What about BW dips and reverse fly's can you do those exercises without pain? |
|
That is what is shitty about working at home. I had to ditch the squat rack... didn't have the room anymore. Now I have to clean any weight I want to use for squats or military press

I use to live in a duplex that was so small that I kept all my stuff out on the back porch.

Brother DOMS, saw the title, loved it and had to drop in, hope you don't mind!!! W/O looks good and solid, what kind of pain do you experience in your shoulder??? I have a kinda popping feeling in mine, but no decrease in strength, so I don't think its a cuff problem, at least I PRAY its not!!! Have you tried DB Overhead presses, or Hammer Strength equipment??? Just a couple suggestions!!!
|
|
That is a good philosophy. I tend to be all or nothing. If I cheat a little I say well I already fucked up so I might as well go all the way. I am finally starting to get away from that.
I bit into a cookie at work in a moment of weakness, but then spit it out. Not my best moment. |
|
I hate Step ups with a passion but I do them anyway. Usually the ones you hate is the ones you need to work on those most

|
Ya I agree with Archie, I would give those a shot, of course start light and be sure its not bothersome! But if not then go up in weight, but I dont think I need to tell ya that, DUH!!!! Good luck DOMS!
|

![]() It's not that I don't like them, it's just that I don't think they belong on Strength day. |
|
Love lunges definitly continue them, these have so many advantages to them!
|
I'm still working on my endurance and step ups really kills me and it's so hard to do shorter RI AND superset after stepups. But that's the point, working on my strength and endurance so they are good for that.
|
Guh...hate lunges. I'd rather do 5 sets of 20 squats than lunges...guh.
Hey DOMS, I've got some shoulder issues too, and the OH DBs didn't bother me a bit. ('Scuse me while I beat this dead horse some more....) ![]() |
|
Because they leave me dead

No problem.
Yeah, 6 oz. ought to do. No need for that addition protein I had you put in the cottage cheese. Just the red meat will do and the almonds
No problem.Red meat is one of the best. If you don't want to do that, then get a casein protein powder. |

Best remedy to prevent eating shit, is to not bring them into the house.

I find flushing quickly to be the best remedy. Saves time leaving the house and all.

I will have to try that, I was really not enjoying the taste.

I wanted to make a specific mention of the salad that I eat for meal 3.
The dressing that I use (the olive oil and the apple vinegar), along with the raisins are great! I've eaten more salad in the last four days that I think I did in the last four months... |
|
Doing well Brother Archangel!
I'm about to do my Upper Core day for the first time. I'll be back in an hour or so. w00t! |
|
I'm the same way with cutting. I've been going strong since Xmas, no problems. But when I start out, it blows.
BTW, if the dressing are making you unhappy, try using regular mustard instead. It's low cal, no sugar, it's tangy, it's got flavor, and if you look around at a hot dog stand, you can get lots of it for free! (Sounds crazy, I know, and you will get funny looks. But Archie can testify that it ain't all bad, and I promise you WILL be remembered by any waitress who serves it to you.) |
These really do work the core. You have to balance on a DB while raising the other above your head and bring it back down, while doing so in a slow and methodical way.|
Saxon Side Bends: Kill me. Kill me now. If you though that the only way 10 pound DB could hurt was with a violent blow, think again. These hit my core in ways that no other exercise has. The level of pain (and I'm not talking about lactic acid) is high. These aren't for the faint of heart. Try 'em once; just once. I dare you.
|
Not to worry. You'll get used to them someday.
|
You'll really like them tomorrow.

Oh man Saxons SUCK!!! Good stuff Brother DOMS, lookin solid in here!!!
|

|
Nice work, DOMS. I was thinking of using some of these (like saxons) for a second w/out at home. Let me know if it hurts to stir your chocolate milk in the morning.
![]() |
|
Usually, the DOMS from a workout take 24-36 hours to manifest. It's barely 12 hours later and I'm already feeling it.
I mean, for crying out loud, my intercostals hurt!!! Good stuff! |

|
Yeah well I believe I am in. I was suppose to workout tommorow so I am going to start with the Upper Strength, and then go from there. My Bench will be DB Bench. I havent did T-Bar rows in years, and I havent done yates rows since college so this is a very good change for me. I intend to gain some serious strength on this, if not some serious balance. The overhead squats will eat me alive however!
|
|
Are you just going with 3x4 on your strength day or are you switching that up, and also what about RI on that?
|
|
Oh no, in no way shape or form am I making fun of you!!! Saxons absolutley KILL me, so my hats definatly off to you for doin them!!!
|
|
You know it's funny, when I start my hardcore cut, just before a contest, my weights actually stay up until just about 2 weeks out, then the weights stay the same, but reps drop slightly!!! I hope to maintain muscle size that way!!!
|
I wish!!!
Me TOO!!!
|
See as how we'd all be eating the floor, I wonder if it counts as a cheat meal?
|
Good Stuff!!!
