We also spent a day at the Adventure Island Water Park in Tampa. Very relaxing family trip.

Sounds great. I'm sure we'll be heading back down to Brandenton in March. Siesta Key is awesome.

Didn't have a spotter on the free weight sets, so I think I could have got "1 more" on most sets. So far I'm really liking this "JerseyCrapp" training. My concerns are how the left elbow will hold up, and overtraining. It looks simple, but it is pretty intense. My plan is to switch up movements often, and only do this for 4 weeks tops, then go back to sets with 3-5 minute rest intervals for a few weeks.

yellowmoomba · 08-23-2006, 08:03 PM

Are you going to patton that "JerseyCrapp" training ??

Good luck with the elbow

I bet you can't wait for 9/9/06!!!!

Yeah, 9/9 is circled on the calender (like I need to be reminded). My palms get clamy just thinking about it. I was SO excited about this season, but after the pre-season number 1's, I don't like the way it has started for the Bucks. Still should make for an interesting college football season, especially compared to the usual NFL yawn fest of overpaid, cry baby free agents

I LOVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Didn't have a spotter so I cheated myself. That is the one problem with DC if you don't have a wo partner. I don't have a problem asking for a spot, but to ask someone to spot you for a set, then wait 25 sec do another, then 25 secs and another.... I can't expect anyone to do that, and I won't ask. Machines are the answer, but we all know you can't do an effective program with all machines

why don't you just use DBs if getting a spot is a problem?

Why didn't I think of that!

Actually, with DB inclines I have always had a helluva time getting them into position starting at 85's or so. I feel like I use a bunch of energy just hoisting them up. To hoist them, put'em down and back up in 25 seconds, twice... I'd rather just live with underachieving with the BB.

yellowmoomba · 08-28-2006, 06:57 PM

You got the whole family working out now ??

JerseyDevil · 08-28-2006, 08:15 PM

Actually the missus has been working out for a while now. My two 13, almost 14 year olds just started. Bill has been doing great! I am so excited about that. Brittany is starting soccer, and although she 'works out', she has absolutely no focus. Just goes from thing to thing in her pursuit of constant entertainment

M.J.H. · 08-28-2006, 11:45 PM

Dman workouts are looking solid man, keep it up.

That sounds typical for a 13-14 year old ...

8/30/06

Deadlifts
135 x 5
185 x 3
225 x 3
275 x 3
315 x 2

Damn my deads suck. Oh well, my pull strength has always been below par, so at 50 I doubt if they will improve much anytime soon. I WILL get these up to 315 x 6 or so. Not that interested in singles. I've had some lumbar problems and I think that is always in the back of my mind.

Leg Extensions
100 x 10
165 x 8
215 x 12
22 sec RP
215 x 8
22 sec RP
215 x 6

Decided to ditch leg press for now. Left knee is still suspect.... are we seeing a pattern here? It's hell getting old

BB Curls
45 x 8
65 x 5
85 x 5
95 x 10
22 sec RP
95 x 5
22 sec RP
95 x 3

Hammer Curls
30's x 8
35's x 8
40's x 10
22 sec RP
40's x 5
22 sec RP
40's x 4

Need to increase weight next time.

Question. There is a guy in my gym who is pretty big. Most of his workout looks solid and he is strong. BUT he does BB shrugs with... get this, 815 lbs for 1 rep singles. Does that make sense? Seems to me that is just asking for problems.

yellowmoomba · 08-31-2006, 06:45 AM

Hey Jersey 315 x 2 is respectable. Most people don't have the balls to deadlift

CF starts tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JerseyDevil · 08-31-2006, 08:00 PM

Thank you for the support, I appreciate that man....

(pssst, who is CF?)

did you ever consider doing trap bar deads? Ask YM about them. I used to do them in my old gym that had a trap bar and I just got one for my home gym and did them today for the first time in a while. They were a very fun exercise...you can lift a lot of weight with that bar and it doesn't wreck your back. I could never lift 350 for 6 reps with a regular bar like I did today with the trap bar, and my back feels great. I mean, if you can lift 400 pounds with the trap bar and only 325 for the same reps with a regular bar, which would you rather do? It's still 400 pounds right?

and about your question...makes absolutely no sense to me, lol
