I'm close to Philly, just across the Walt Whitman. Yeah I thought maybe you just hadn't recorded the other workouts. Well it looks like you are making great progress!

I know that hurt!

Paynne · 07-17-2004, 06:29 AM

Yeah I've been giving it 150% so I'm not sure if the strength gains are PRRS or just me trying harder. Still have a long way to go to get to respectable weights though.

Great job Paynne !
there's nothing wrong with the weights your using if they are giving you results. Plus I'll bet you are doing better than most regardless of age

Hey next Aprill when I'm no longer fourty-something can I still visit your journal ?

Oh weight I'll be fourty-eleven ! That works, I'll still be in the club !

Strength is a relative thing. No matter how strong you get, there will always be somebody stronger. But who cares? The fun part is improving.

Paynne · 07-19-2004, 01:53 PM

Chest/Shoulders/Abs - Power

DB press 75x7,80x5,80x5
Inc DB Press 60x7,65x4,65x4
Weighted Dips 40x6,45x4,45x3
BB Shoulder Press 90x7,100x4,100x3
Shrugs 235x7,245x5
Lateral 35x5,35x6
Decline abs 25x10,30x6,30x5
ran out of time for cable crunches

Time to go run around like a maniac because we have to show the house at 7pm. I can't wait until this whole moving thing is over and done with

gwcaton · 07-19-2004, 05:31 PM

Paynne,

do you have a trainer/wo partner ? How the hell do you get 75/80 lb db up so you can bench them ? If you hoist them your self

JerseyDevil · 07-19-2004, 06:16 PM

Good workout Paynne! 80 pounders for DB bench is some good weight.

Paynne · 07-20-2004, 07:08 AM

I just use my knees to push them up. I've never had a training partner, I don't know anyone as insane as I am to work out at lunch time.

Paynne · 07-20-2004, 01:06 PM

power - legs

squat 185x8,195x6,205x5
leg press 230x8,250x6,250x6
single leg ext 70x7,80x4,80x4
Lying leg curl 110x9,120x7,130x6
SLDL 185x8,205x5,205x5
Seated calf 135x5,135x4.5
Calf on leg press 300x10,320x8

I gotta be really, really careful of my knees on the squats. The thread on squat form helped a lot. I went a little wider, toes out, concentrated on spreading the floor, and that seemed to do the trick. I also can't go to parallel without it feeling like someone jabbed a knitting needle in my knee, so I stop just short.

Off to go to great adventure water park tmw.

If it's as hot as it was today it'll be the place to be.

Paynne · 07-22-2004, 11:59 AM

Back/Abs - Power

Rack DL 225x6,225x6,225x3
Bent Row 175x6,175x4,155x6
Weighted pullup 10x4,10x4
CG seated Row 150x6,160x4
Decline crunch 30x7,35x4,35x5
pulley crunch 150x7,150x7

Bah, no energy, no motivation. It's either:

Rack Deads fried me
Because of the crappy diet at the waterpark yesterday
I'm in serious need of a week off
All of the above

gwcaton · 07-22-2004, 12:16 PM

Looks like a good workout to me .

I must be the only one on here not doing deadlifts. Guess I'll give them a try when I start my next bulk in about 10 weeks. Hell I might even try them in my up coming cut. What do you think ?

Everybody swears by em. And I'm in serious need of whatever gets you bigger.

Lift heavy to keep the muscle during a cut...so why not? You'll be DLing like 400lbs in a couple weeks.

Paynne · 07-24-2004, 06:35 AM

Arms - Power

BB curl 95x3,95x3,95x3
Preacher curl 75x6,75x6,75x4
Hammer curl 40x6,45x3,45x4
CG Bench 155x4,145x6,145x5
Skull Crusher 85x6,85x5,85x5
1 arm overhead ext 30x6,35x3,35x4

Felt much better today. I think I used the EZ bar last time for the BB curls, does it make that much difference in how much weight you can use? I went down a rep but everything else went up.

CG bench needs as much work as regular bench does.

I should stop being so lazy and post some meals. I'm at ~3,800 cals a day and weighed in ~164-165 this morning which is up ~4-5 pounds in 7 weeks. Gotta get a freakin accurate scale one of these days.

Way to go ! I like the EZ curl bar for a change of pace, i do think I lift heavier with it though.
Congrats on the weight gain !

Paynne · 07-26-2004, 05:21 PM

Chest/Delts - RR

Inc DB Press 60x7,60x8,60x7
Bench Press 155x7,145x9,145x6
Flyes 40x10,40x10
Single arm DB Press 40x8,40x7
Bent Lateral 35x7,35x7
Cable Side Lateral 10x15,15x12 ...isn't side lateral kinda redundant?

Decline crunch 35x8,35x7
Double crunch 20,20

Bah, no increases to speak of. I'm needing a week off but I want to finish the cycle first.

gwcaton · 07-26-2004, 05:53 PM

How much longer until this cycle is over ?

Paynne · 07-27-2004, 06:17 AM

Next Friday. You never looked into PRRS? I like it. Even though I didn't get increases yesterday my chest is sore today. Yeah I know soreness has nothing to do with hypertrophy, but it has to mean that your body can't adapt to the routine, so no need to change up routines routinely
