Thanks for noticing and pointing that out...guess it pays to look back sometimes.

Chest/ Bicep workout
Bench 115# for 8/6/6/ and 120# for 6. Will take this up next week
Dumbell Press 50# for 8/7/7
Flat Flyes 50# for 8/6/6/
Barbell Curls 90# for 8/6/6 and 95# for 6
Hammer 50# for 8 reps and 47.5 for 6/6 reps. Form got sloppy so backed off a bit
________________________________________________
Chest and Bicep day
Added an extra set to the Bench and Barbell curls this week. No big gains on the weights. Was a good workout today and my arms felt good and pumped.
Starting to notice some increase in size and the shirts getting a bit tighter.
Will take some measurements next week to see it it's all in my head

Take care all

Today is Back/Abs day

Pullovers 60# for 8/6/ and 65# for 6
Lying Row 110# for 8/6/6/ (Lying on elevated bench face down lifting barbell up 20# from last week)
Pull Downs 125# 8/6/6/4 (up 5# from last week. Used chinning bar...sure seems to isolate the Lats)
Dumbell Rows 70# for 8/6/6/6 ( up 5# from last week)
Rear Delt Bent over lifts 20# for 8/8/8
Crunches

Increased a few pounds this week...nothing major though. Went slow on this workout to make sure I worked the whole range of motion (if that makes sense). Made some notes in my w/o log to add some more weight next week.
Later Guys

Thanks Gary
Yeah. One arm at a time. I try to keep my back as flat as possible and realy focus on getting the most from each lift ... or as you say ROM...geez I'm learning new lingo all the time.
I really like Dumbell rows...I notice a few guys in the "training" forum call it the most under-rated excercise

**P-funk** · 03-24-2005, 07:31 PM

nice DB rows.

LiftinBear · 03-25-2005, 05:16 PM

Skull Crushers 32.5# for 8/8/6/ up 2.5#
Pull Downs 60# for 8/8/7/7
Shrugs 160# for 8/8/8/7 used a Barbell this week

Thats it for now

PreMier · 03-25-2005, 05:35 PM

Nice workout Tim. Good to see those numbers going up.

M.J.H. · 03-25-2005, 05:40 PM

You start off your back workout with pullovers? Are these DB or Nautilus?

Actually with pulldowns. The pullovers are Dumbell
I'll start posting in the proper order...does the order matter?

Hey Jake and Gary,
Thanks for the encouragement .
Have a great weekend Guys.

LiftinBear · 03-28-2005, 06:37 PM

Quads/Hams/Calfs...
Squats 160# for 8/6/6/8 going up to 8 reps next week
Leg Extensions 130# for 12/12/12/12/ Up 5# from last week. Went nice and slow on these
Leg Curls 60# for 12/12/12/12 up 10# from last week. Took these nice and slow too.
Lunges 50# for 12/12/12
Standing Calf Raises 50 for 12/12/12. Really focused on the ROM here. Was getting sloppy last week.

Sure got a nice workout on the leg extensions and curls by slowing it down. Felt like I got the best of the negative motion too.

Want to get my squats lower next week.

Thats it for now.

Youre gettin better everyday. Nice work.

Are you supplementing with anything?

Thanks du510

I haven't been supplementing other than with protein drinks, multi vits, and Flax oil. Have to admit I don't know that much about supplements. Tried Creatine a couple years ago but it made me feel sick all the time.

What kind of supplements were you thinking about?

PreMier · 03-28-2005, 09:04 PM

Fish oil is a must IMO. I take that, along with whey and a multi. I also use glucosamine chondroiten and MSM(joint care).

Whey protein, multivitamin, and flax is a good way to go. Like Pre said - fish oil is good. I hate the taste associated with it, though. Flax is a good substitute. I personally use Glucosamine/Chondritin w/ a prescription sulphur drug for my joint pains... so Id recommend G/C if you get any joint pains.

Creatine is another good choice. Im not taking it right now, but its not a bad idea to use it. The upset stomach maybe a result of taking too much. You wouldnt want to take more than 5g or so per serving.

Looks like youve got a solid supplement base, LB. No need to go much further.

Thanks for the opinions guys.
I may try Creatine again in the future in smaller doses. Last time the guy at GNC had me loading up on the stuff. Man...did I get sick...cramps, dizzy... dehydated...etc. Left it alone after that.

PreMier · 03-28-2005, 09:25 PM

Yea, there is no need to load.. Also look into the newer creatine products(tri creatine malate/cee). They should help with that. Du, fish burps are sexy
