Great workout DOMS. I've worked out without eating for 4 hours before, it just does not work. But niether does eating too soon before your workout.

WBM, Day 9: Birth

The Declines are a bitch to do by myself. When I'm done, I have to pretty much do a 140 pound sit up. I hug the DBs to my chest and sit up. The first set is easy, but by the fourth set, it's feels like I'm going to give birth to my colon.

I burnt out a little at the end of the curls, but that's par for the course. I've never been that great at Lying Curls.

I'm really starting to go very deep on the OH Squats. Although I almost fell on my ass during the second set.

I'm not going to workout again until next Tuesday. I'm going to be out of town. I'm going to see if I can make a habit out of running and stretching during that time.

Nice DB Bench numbers! I know what you mean about dumping the weight though. Getting up sucks, that's why I just drop it to the floor in a 'controlled' manner (as in: doing an excentric hammer curl so the weight hits the floor). Especially if you're already on a decline, that's a lot easier. Might be a bit noisy though.

How far off the ground are the DBs when you're at the bottom of the press? Is it possible to get a mat of some kind and lower/drop the DBs when done?

I workout in my home office. If things go wrong, I'm willing to pitch the DBs, but I risk damaging my PC and wood walls.

I can drop them, probably without hitting my PC or wall, but I'd feel like a wuss.

I read the third Dexter novel. I'm going to put the rest of my post in white, so I don't spoil anything for readers of my journal. If you quote, remember to delete that section (otherwise the white text will show in the gray background of a quote).

I liked the book. Yeah, he took it in a semi-mystical direction, but that adds another dimension to Dexter. Otherwise, especially over time, it's just book after book of basic killing.

I really like how Cody and Astor are playing more predominant roles.

My favorite quote (from memory): "He showed my his teeth. You could only call it a smile if you though that torturing animals is funny."

WBM, Day 10: The beginning of the end
This begins the last week of this routine. I'm dead serious about the gains that I've made in terms of size over the last 6 weeks or so. I'm also expecting some good gains in my PRs. Which I'll test a week after I'm done with day 12.

I had to up the RI on the Squats to 2 minutes. It was just too hard to do 10x3 @ 86% with a 1 minute RI. But I'm more interested in moving the weight than keeping a short RI.

After my workout, I went out for a 1 mile "jog" in a brisk 32 degrees in shorts and shirt. Which, according to weather.com, felt like 24. Actually, I think it felt like someone was poking needles in my quads.

I put quotes around jog, because I only spent 2 and half minutes actually jogging and the rest walking. I've always hated cardio and I suck ass at endurance. But that's why I went out tonight. I had to prove to myself that I'd do cardio no matter what. I'm going to cardio my ass off to drop 10-15 pounds.

What kind of program are you training with now, DOMS?

And keep up the hard work with the chin ups, progressing with them can be discouraging at times but you can improve them.

It's called the Waterbury Method. I purchased his books, and chose this one because it's suppose to help with hypertrophy. Which is has.

Good work getting some cardio in just make sure you constantly progress brother D! Squats looking very good to that in itself is a unique kind of endurance.

Posted by: SamEaston

My god man! 10 sets of Squats?? That's amazing - i'd be lucky to drag my ass anywhere after that. Fantastic

Waterbury Method eh? Sounds interesting

Will be good to see how you've improved when you're done - nice work!

Please - if you could, that would be great!

I need to increase strength for a strength competition in March (just a wee one on EB.com, nothing major!), so i was going to go for 12 weeks at 5x5, followed by a stint at something else. I reckon this Waterbury Method might be just the ticket, but im guessing you couldn't really do it for 12 weeks right? I mean, that's just crazy

Oh - and jogging outside in that temperature can't be good for you. I remember rowing on a loch in Glasgow in the winter the day before it froze over. We had to stop every 5 mins so i could blow my nose and every 10 mins so we could take our hands off the blades and stick them up our jumpers to warm them up! Madness!

I know exactly what you mean about the shin confusion. I get the same thing when I start running for the first time after a lay-off. I've actually had shin splints in the past, so I'm extra careful.

You are a star - thank you very much. I'm going to settle in for the night and read these pages!

I just finished my first 5x5 program about a month ago, and i saw great results with it. In fact, i am planning to start another one just after Xmas, then i can re-evaluate where i am and what still needs to be done to get me looking better!

I will definitely give this a go at some point - just trying new things makes me really excited about going to the gym!

Thanks again DOMS

Shin splints are a bitch. Such an annoying injury, but can be avoided by stetching your legs well beforehand. If I don't stretch before a run, I feel their onset pretty quickly.

You know i got them before i started using arch supports when i went running so maybe you should buy some and try em out.

Stop running

Stretching, proper shoes, proper warm-up, progressive resistance, softer underground. The usual.

I tried to do the 5x5 a second time, about 4 months after I stopped the first time, and I couldn't do it. I think I need to take a year off between those workouts. But YMMV.

WBM, Day 11: Burned

Once again, the 10x3 @ 86% just toasted me. I did a 1 minute RI between the first four sets, but had to switch to two on the remaining sets. Plus, they had a detrimental affect on the following shoulder workouts (Military and Uprights).

I think I may have aggravated the injury in my left shoulder. But that's okay since this is the second to last workout. I can tough it out for another day and then give it some time to heal.

Edit: I stand corrected. On the Upright Rows, I was suppose to do 45, but, by mistake, did 50. Which happens to be my old PR. So, not only did I do well, but I'm pretty sure I could hit a new PR if I tried.

Yeah, for bad math skills.

great workout DOMS

this new training program seems great. would it be recommended for someone who is trying to gain a little size? and as for the 10x3 at the beginning is that to keep the strength up?

Thanks, Scarface!

Everyone is different, but I packed on enough size that it's easily noticeable. That's why I chose this exercise. According to Waterbury, it's meant for hypertrophy. And, from where I sit, the man is honest.

Strength and size are not mutually exclusive. If you get one, you're going to get some of the other. But I you're correct. Doing a 10x3 and upping the 1RM % from 80 to 86 has probably done wonders for my 1RM. My current PR on Bench is 190, but I just did 10x3 @ 165. I'm willing to bet that I can hit a new PR.

Posted by: goob

Great job DOMS, that workout looks brutal. Your pressing strength is very impressive.

Posted by: SamEaston

Hi DOMS

I've had a read through the Waterbury Method pages you posted up and it looks like it's going to be the most difficult thing i've ever done. I have a couple of questions though, maybe you would have time to answer?

Firstly, Im guessing i will need to do a one rep max for each exercise before i begin? Did you do that?

Second, what do you do on the days inbetween workouts? Are you allowed to do anything, like cardio, or is it not recommended?

Third, and last

, what are external rotations?

Thank you so much DOMS - you're very good

I've always made it a point not to put my bench before any other part of my body, but hell yeah, it's good to see it go up. I'm betting that I can hit 200 when I test next time.

Hell, my next routine will focus on just my bench. w00t!

Yes, I tested my 1RM on all of the exercises in this routine. You can find them at the end of my last journal. I didn't want to shortchange myself by guessing or using a 1RM calculator. I think that really paid off.

Up until last week, I didn't do any cardio. I use to hate cardio, but I'm learning to like it. Between the heavy squats and running (if that's your poison), you need to keep an eye on your knees and shins.

It use to be 190. But now I can do 10x3 @ 165, so I'm guessing that I can probably hit 200 or so. I'm moving my family up to Boise this next weekend, so I'll have to wait until the following week to find out. This week I'm going to finish off my routine. Probably tomorrow.

Posted by: DOMS

Oh, and my current body weight is around 210 or so. But I haven't weighed myself in a couple of months, so I'll need to do that this week.

I don't know. I've yet to have it tested. But I'm going to be getting 3 weeks of "me" time, so I'll get it tested then. I'm guessing around 15-18%. But that's just a blind guess.

WBM, Day 12: Fini

Today marks the last day of this routine as well as my last workout in this house. I'll spend about two weeks in an apartment, and then it's on to Boise.

Change bring opportunity!

I have to admit that I slouched in my final workout. I took 2 minutes between the majority of my sets. Working at 86% is a bitch. I clearly understand now why this routine is only 12 days.

On a positive note, I was very strong on the Leg Curls. This has routinely been an exercise that I've struggled with. But tonight, it felt absolutely easy.

My next workout will be the Total Strength Program aimed at benching.

What the fuck? I attached two PDF files!

When I get to work, I'll report them.

Posted by: DOMS

Okay, I'm uploading the PDFs again.

Well...it just told me that I've already uploaded them.

So here's the links:

The Waterbury Method, page 1 & page 2.

Posted by: DOMS

Okay, I feel like a moron. They're attached to this post on the previous page.

Posted by: katt

No you're not a moron.. I printed them the first time. They may have gotten lost in our "glitch"

Nope, they're there. It's just that I've written two large posts to Sam, I went stupid about which post I attached the PDFs to.

But I'd be happy to blame the computer.

DOMS - thank you!

Great workout DOMS. I can't wait to see what you would put in that blog of yours. No holds barred, DOMS let loose against the Mexican nation....

Should have some good comic potential.

I'm not going to do a blog. I'd rather just post some tidbits here. Besides, you wouldn't really want to know what goes through my head each day. I tried to tell a friend once, but he told me to stop.

Posted by: DOMS

I forgot to mention that I picked up a new chair (similar to the one below). It really does feel good. But you need to have good posture to enjoy it.

My chair isn't silver, it's black. The silver one in the picture makes me think it's missing the stirrups.

Posted by: SamEaston

That's cool! It's similar to my mums chair for doing on-site massage, except that one has a bit to rest your face and arms on. I bet it's actually quite comfy, no?

Yes, it's very comfortable. But only if you have good posture and a strong back. Otherwise, I'd imagine it'd be rather uncomfortable to keep your trunk up.

Posted by: SamEaston

Yeah, and you couldn't take a power nap on one of those either! One minute you're feeling a bit tired, next minute you're on the floor

How could one possibly enjoy this besides for porn?

Kneeling is more natural then sitting with your knees at 90 degrees. It promotes better circulation. And, like I said, it's only comfortable if you don't slouch.

I have to agree with the above posts...only comfy for gettin freaky

Hey DOMS - hows the moving going?

I love moving into a new house. Everything has its place and is all neat and tidy.

Doesn't last long though, does it? Given a week or two its all covered in dust and those glass cabinets now seem like a really bad idea!

Change bring opportunity!

What's up with Boise? I thought you had your sights set on moving to LA?

Boise in the hood??????

DOMS won't like that....

DOMS invites five of his friends to his new house to check it out.

Friend 1: Ey man, is that one of those porn chairs?
DOMS: No, it's actually very comfortable.
Friend 2: I saw Jenna Jameson on one of those, that shit was shot.
DOMS: It's not a porn chair. You just need a strong back to sit on it.
Friend 3 coming back from the toilet: Ey DOMS, that's a porn chair isn't it?
DOMS, slightly agitated: It's a normal chair. It's really comfortable.
Friend 2: Jenna thought it was more than just comfortable.
Friend 4: I'm with the rest of the group, that's definitely a porn chair.
Friend 5: Shit I'd like to fu...
*DOMS knocks friend 5 out*: IT'S NOT A FUCKING PORN CHAIR DAMNIT! IT'S REALLY COMFORTABLE. YOU JUST NEED GOOD POSTURE TO SIT ON IT DAMNIT!

The family, and stuff, is already moved up to Boise. I'm staying down here in a hotel until the 21st.

Yeah, I like cleaning house when I move. But I really, really hate to move otherwise.

I will, but I have to wait for the housing prices to fall enough before I can afford a house in LA. The type of house that I'm looking for sold for $700,000 10 months ago. Those same houses are going for $500,000 now. I'm going to see how far they'll drop over the next year.

The house I have in Boise is 2000 sq. ft., 4 bed, 3 full bath (including a master bath), and a 3 car garage. And it only costs $960 a month. It's a good place to hole up until I'm ready to go to Cali.

It's all done. I'm just holed up in a hotel until this Friday and then I'm leaving Salt Lake. It's like leaving Las Vegas, except there's no Elizabeth Shue-quality hooker and booze.

Just for health reasons. I figure it'll do me good to cut out the carbonic acid and sugar substitutes.
