Enjoy your movie tomorrrow man! Let us know if you see anything good!

gwcaton · 06-06-2004, 07:38 AM

No workout today

No sleep, upset stomach. Might move everything back a day. Hate to skip it altogether.

Rocco32 · 06-06-2004, 08:27 AM

Hope you feel better buddy. Try some Ginger Ale!

gwcaton · 06-07-2004, 08:11 PM

Bench Press
155 x 10
210 x 8
225 x 3

235 x 0

155 x 13
Not good . Don't know if it was because I am not fully recoverd from Sundays sickness or because I super setted bench w/ Cable crossovers. Never done that before. Maybe some of both We'll see what happens next time I guess.

Cable crossovers
30 x 10
40 x 8
45 x 6
50 x 4
30 x 15
Sets 1. 2 and 5 were increases
Super set w/bench press

Barbell curls
85 x 10
95 x 8
100 x 6
105 x 4
85 x 12
Either these were too heavy ( my form sucked) or still weak from Sunday or the fact that I did supersets w/d.b. concentration curls .

D.B. concentration curls
25 x 10
30 x 8
35 x 6
40 x 4
20 x 15

Notes:
Next week will be the 6th week of 12 . After that I will be switching Cable crossover for something different and D.B. concentration curls for something different.
