Deadbolt's Transformation!

DeadBolt · 11-13-2004, 08:28 PM

Well just got home from work another cold ass day of parking cars....worst job ever LOL.

Diet was soso today...not my above lsited diet but it was clean and to the point...nothing crazy so I am happy.

Here was my back/traps wo from thursday:

RR back/traps

Chin Ups-self
x5
x10 w/ spot-very light
x9 w/ spot-very light

Cable Row
165x8
165x8

Pull down-2 sep. handles for stabalizing muscles--much harder
105x10
120x8
***These felt awsome...truely a new exercise I like alot--you feel it so much!!

Stiff Arm Pulldowns
90x15
100x9

DB Shrug
70'sx20
80'sx15
90'sx10
***I feel high reps does me better with traps...I get much better results.

Upright Row
110x9
***Just an added bonus LOL

FINALLY got chinups on my own!!!! I am working on the pull ups now but the chins really ripped my back up...so sore the past few days.

Overall a decent workout, very very fast. Had only 45 mins between coming home from shooting my guns and going to class so I shimmied as fast as possible.

DeadBolt · 11-13-2004, 08:40 PM

RR Legs--first time since knee injury!!!

Quad Ext's
90x12
110x10

Hack Squat
135x12
185x10
225x7

Single Leg Press
s sets @ 90x10

SLDL
95x10
115x12
115x12

Legs felt fine for the conditions. Some pains just form lifting again and alot of soreness the days after. Went super light on presses and SLDL b/c they felt very uncomfortable. I am taking it very easy on legs from now on and not going crazy...I want them in tip top shape. I couldn't manage anything after the SLDL's, curls and everything just brought me a ton of pain,

Now as if legs wasn't enough I must confess me and my cousin got crazy. We started trying out the tri ext. machine for giggles and it ended up an entire arm workout lol. Here it is:

Mach. Ext.
30x12
40x8

Rev Single arm Pushdown
50x8
50x8 PR

DB curl
35'sx6
40'sx4 PR

Preacher BB curl
60x4

Hammer Curls
30'sx8

We just had some extra energy and I actually hit some PR's although on nothing I care about but hell its still a PR lol. I had an awsome workout for arms and legs all in the same day. To be honest i wasn't gonna post the arm part but I figured you guys deserve to know everything thats goin on in my gym.

gwcaton · 11-13-2004, 09:00 PM

DB,

Nice workouts ! Congrats on the PR's

Do you do your hack squats on a machine or with a BB ? A hack machine is the next thing on my wish list

**CowPimp** · 11-14-2004, 12:42 AM

Pretty nice upright rows there. I like that lift a lot; I feel it is underrated.

Hey thanks GW, yea the 40's we pretty kewl to be curling...an experience for me.

Hacks are done on a machine, I can def. go heavier then that though. I love the machine its so awsome. Def. worth your wild to get one but thats all they are good for. Can't really do much else on it so its a tuff decision ya know?

O yea defentily love those Rows. No one ever does them in my gym, no idea why. I can't go as heavy with a BB but with cables I can icrease the weights alot more.

Rissole · 11-15-2004, 04:30 AM

Hey DB, finally got back... if you train in the morn all i can say is drop pre w/o carbs, just prot and fat. Up other meals to bring your cals back up

No cardio??

Welcome Back Bud!

Yea I workout after meal one...in the AM. So the 60g's post w/o then 30'gs in the next 2 meals and I'm ok for now?

Yes I do cardio, its sparatic but I do it. For the past few weeks I have been getting some HIIT in there 2-3 times week but the past week my gym has been under construction so I was unable to do it. We got all the cardio equipment so it should be fun now. Also I valet park cars so I run ALOT at work for hours on end so I have to watch how crazy I go in the gym or else I will be to tired to work.

As for cardio types though I don't feel HIIT ever helps me as much as others. I have experimented before and by using a lower heart rate (60-70% range) for a longer duration (30-45mins) I shed more LB's. I will be mixing it up from now on due to time and some days I will do HIIT and others I will do longer duration.

Hows all that sound Riss?

Rissole · 11-15-2004, 02:08 PM

Yeah sounds cool, the consistancy is where it pays off. No cheating and consistant cardio are the keys. You can shed the BF and keep the mass if your cals are just right

Yea I have been pretty good with cheats. I need to go buy some more meats though. Eating this much meat is burning a hole in my pocket and my pay checks aren't enough to buy the true bulk amounts. I have to save my $$ so I can pay for college LOL.

How often do you re-calculate your cals when cutting? So far I've lost 2lbs and was wondering around when should I start decreasing my cals?

I actually just screwed up LOL. I was wacked out with school and work and had so many things on my mind I skipped it by accident. I took a week or so off then went back into the rotation but once shock chest came I thought it was power again so thats what I did only to realize I had screwed up the next day.

Yea I know I'm a dumb ass lol

Oh it takes time but it won't take you as long as you think. You have youth and knowledge on your side. If I knew what i know now when I was your age I'd be big !

DeadBolt · 11-17-2004, 07:39 PM

CowPimp I love that superset. It gives the most killer pump afterwards. Well I love close grips period...I hate pullups b/c they butcher my shoulder but cg's I can do. I can work so many different muscles with just that one exercise its awsome.

GW Hey Gary don't sell yourself short lol...you look damn good. I'm in no rush to get anywhere. Right now I'm taking it easy with the dieting and just trying to shed a few pounds. Then hopefully once my life gets a little more stable and the depts slow down I can make some better progress...but for now I am doing what I can.
