Nice jump up in the squats. Those few reps probably boosted your ego nicely.
Might I make one suggestion? Although deadlifts hit the hamstrings hard, I would suggest you get another hamstring-centric lift in on leg day. If you squat like a powerlifter, then forget my previous statement, but otherwise the suggestion stands. I'm all about straight-leg deadlifts. Good mornings are also great. They will really help your core strength too. |

Hey man, suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks. I do need to add another hamstring-centric lift on my leg days, as I don't lift like a powerlifter. Doing straight legged-deadlifts on top of regular deadlifts would kill my lowerback, aswell as goodmornings. My lower back is dieing after my one or two deadlift sets and I can't even imagine adding any more to my leg day. I am thinking about using the hamstring cybex machine to start next week, but if you have any other suggestions I'd love to hear them. |

Hey, looking good in here, though I noticed your no longer posting your time. Weights have been going up nicely as well, congrats. I say ditch the hamstring cybex machine and do SLDL's. That will help build up your posterier chain better.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

I should definitly continue to post my times, but like the article said, I don't want to plan by the book and feel guilty if I say i'll be done in 40 minutes and Im actually done in 42 minutes. I also tend to spend a good amount of time watching the clock as opposed to working out more effectively. My workouts now last anywhere from 40-60 minutes depending on the day, how im feeling, etc. and considering I have fixed my original problem, I just thought I would bag posting the times on the daily journals. I have yet to do the hamstring machine because frankly, I hate machines. I'd love to SLDL's and may do one set of regular deads and one set of straight legged deads to compenate. |

Good idea, make sure you get your form down perfect on your SLDL and then go heavy!

Chest: Bench Press: 8 x 145 8 x 140 3 x 135 (concluding set) Incline Bench Press: 6 x 115 10 x 105 Decline Bench Press: 8 x 125 10 x 115 Flat Bench, Dumbell Press: failed on 7 x 45's Cable Flies: 15 x 140 15 x 120 + 5 x 160 Close Grip Bench Press: 0 x 115 +5 negatives 6 x 95 +5 negatives w/ spotter I won't say todays workout was bad, but I won't say it was good either. I had some excellent sets of incline and decline, and even cable flies and cg bench press, but I really lacked from the beginning when the only person down in the weightroom were women who without asking I knew weren't able to grasp the concept of negatives. Since I have inquired negatives into my routine, my chest days have been solid but not great mainly because by two sets of regular bench press were so excruciating that I could have left the gym after those two sets and been sort of satisfied. Todays workout I had no negatives to start the day, therefore I saw better sets from the inclines, declines, flies, and cg bench press but really lacked from the regular bench, in other words the main core. Twenty minutes after my workout, I can already feel a difference in how sore my pecs were last week at this time, and currently. Still a solid workout, I really hit the legs hard, Im siked to get going on my back day tommorow. |

As for the cybex machines, I think like rock said, I'd rather just hit the SLDL's and instead of doing two sets of regular deadlifts, do a set of each. Again, thanks for stopping by. |

Nice chest day! It sucks when you rely on others for certain lifts and you can't find anyone to do it!

I am definitly starting to add on some mass to my frame which is excellent. My back is considerably bigger and more defined since I joined IM which is a definite plus. My arms still lack in a sense, but in time I think they will grow, especially when I start to add some more rest into my weeks. It seems as if alot of Expo fans are making the jump to the Red Sox bandwagon. Don't you think it's a little premature? Alot still has to be done in my opinion to have this deal absolutely, positively finalized. Again, thanks for coming. |

LOL , I was kidding with the expos thing ... I lost all my interrest in the expos about 5 years ago with all the moving crap and the selling off good players ... I prefer older teams like yanks / redsox / cubs etc (not so more the yanks anymore , cuz they are just buying their way off to the off season ... ) Thats why The red sox are high in my book now
. I was pretty damn happy to see the sox beat the yankees , comes to show that money doesn't buy everything.Anyways , keep it up for the training , and post some pictures when you have some spare time so we can see your progress |

I just liked the taste of swole. Thats why I recommended it. If you like regular monohydrate, then get that, or some micronized. I used to use Met-Rx micronized from bulknutrition.

Ya , if you respond to monohydrate , stick to that. Swole v2 or v-12 turbo is an alternative for non-responders. Any creatine monohydrate would do the job for you. Its all the same , its like Glutamine , the brand doesnt really matter as long as you can trust the brand.
I know a lot of people who take some prolab , but like I said , creatine monohydrate is all the same thing. Like sugar is the same thing from one brand to antoher. |
