Actually this is an OLD job....was my first job ever actually LOL. My father owns a resturaunt so when I moved in with my father I started working in it when I was like 10. I worked there for 8 years before I branched else where. I've had other jobs in between and stuff but I always worked my weekends with my father. I also work for other catering halls and kitchens all along the east coast. I've traveled to florida, delaware, main, etc.... just to work a wedding or a b-day heh.

And yea its suppose to be a 2 man job lol....my father was really short staffed thats why I had to work so I had to carry all the plates for the party while the other waiter did drinks. So ussually it would have been like 3 people working the party...2 to clean and carry the heavy shit then another to tend to the clients needs. I was 2 men last night But hey I had to do it...it was for my father!

How is everything with you today?

I was suppose to go to class today but never did...my girl came over last night and I just ended up falling asleep and never set the alarm clock so there went that idea. So I figured I'd go to the gym early. Had no desire to work legs though!

Leg Press-varried foot stance
320*10*2
340*10
360*10
390*10
410*9 PR
Drop 270*10
Drop 230*10

Quad Ext
90*10
80*10*2

Lying Leg Curl
80*10
90*8*2
80*10

I did way to much quad work compared to ham work IMO. Although during the presses I changed my foot placement so the hams were hit....I def felt them after a few sets of the press. Had no desire to w/o today but went in anyways. Got a PR on the press...gained an extra 3 reps since last week!!! I will try 450 thursday.

I died out early today...adjusting to the new diet that isn't even close to where I'm suppose to be. Next w/o I'll try to focuse more on hams.

10 was the magic number...after my first set of presses I just decided I wanted to stay light and maintain 10 reps the entire w/o...don't ask me why heh.

Nice wo DB ! Congrats on the PR Gotta love it .

I tried to do some DB benching today! I figured b/c I have gained so much movement with my arm with not as much pain I wanted to see where I was at. I tried the 30lb DB's .........and couldn't do shit

That is a really light weight for me especially for flat bench. I use to get the 70's for like 6 reps...but the shoulder started to hurt right away! After just a few reps I felt pain so I just stopped and went back to legs.

Heya gw...yea def gotta love it especially b/c I didnt't realize it until I got home LOL. I was just gradually adding weight and when I got home I did that math and figured out it was a PR. Had I known that I would have gone for 450 today...O well just another goal for thursday.

Brother Bolt, thats one heckuva w/o!!! And great job on the PR!!! Don't worry about your bench, I bet as soon as your shoulders healed, you'll be pressing CARS!!!

I just wish I knew what it was that was keeping me from lifting! Thanks for the words of support though arch!

Man I'm stressing over this test I got tomorrow....actually have two heh. One in my sports medicine class and the other in my exercise science class! I think I got this stuff down but we'll see tomorrow!

Just takin a break and figured I'd come in and post....I feel like working my legs again already LOL! I think something is wrong with me...I'm the only person I know that enjoys working legs and looks forward to the next time. I mean wtf most people don't do them once a week and if I could I'd do em 3 or 4 times a week! I guess I'm just enjoying the strength gains in em.

Someone needs to remind me to weight myself at the end of this week first thing in the morning...I keep forgeting! I want to try it thursday morning before I workout...so someone mention it to me lol. OK off to go study again...got a long day of class tomorrow but its a day of rest so its OK!

No worries on that test DB ! You da man

Thanks for stoppin in boys!! And hell yea I aced both of em! I rock!!! LOL These were like major test for this semester again and I did perfect on em! Its funny how much I've learned about the human body so far this semester. Its just a damn shame that I can't apply any of this shit to the real world yet....well not to my upper torso LOL

Today was a day of rest...diet was way off par but I was stressin over these tests so bad I considered it a reward. Tomorrow I'll be back on the wagon as ussual. I see my mid sections slimming down some so thats good!

Nice work Dead

Today was leg day....had no desire to lift but I did it anyhow! Forgot my sneakers so I had to wear my work boots. I enjoyed the stability for the squats but the presses sucked with em heh.

Squat
95*10
135*8
185*6
195*5*2
205*4 PR!
drop 185*6
drop 135*8

Press
360*8
410*8
450*5 PR!

Lying Leg Curl
70*10
90*8
90*7

Squats were tough to get into....felt uncomfortable maxing out when your not in the right mind set. I was all over the place just wasn't a good day of lifting I guess. But I hit my PR so I was happy. Did a triple drop set with em after the 205 just for some extra reps. Burned em out nicely!

Presses could have been better. Thee steel toes were uncomfortable....450lbs diggin into your toes is not fun. I did fail on the 6th rep though, had to use my hands to finish the rep so I didn't count it. I was pleased with my outcome and hit another PR! I will aim higher next time....I'm shooting for 8-10 reps come monday. I like the way I'm progressing...coming along nicely.

Hams were destroyed after the squats I guess...had no energy left in em to do these. I wish I could do some SLDL's because thats the only way I get direct ham work in. LLC's and single leg curls kill me and I hate doing them...very painfull for me.

All in all not a great workout but it was a workout non the less. Tried out some chest presses, lat pulldowns, and BB curls. The shoulder is feeling better but still not going back to lifting till I can get an MRI. Hopefully soon!

Nice wo Dead !
Congrats on the PR's


Whats the word on the MRI ?

Thanks GW!

The word is "never-gonna-happen" so it seems. This shit is taking forever! But theres nothing I can do...I can't get it on my own b/c I can't afford it and my pops cant change his so I just have to wait until they accept me back into it. I figured within 3 months I get benefits from my new job....I'll get it then LOL.

Off to work for the first day. Had to get up at 6am to get ready today for training....not use to getting up this early. I'm never up before 7:30 and thats only days a week heh so this is a major change!

Hello Brother Bolt, sorry to hear about the MRI not happining. That royally sucks. Take care of it and best of luck with the new job!!!

Well a little update for everyone I guess....

No training today was working all day....I got the job! Today was at school from 9am-12:30pm--work from 1pm-9pm. I ate at 8am then at 8pm...my only 2 meals of the day. That sucked LOL I was starving!

I think I have thursday off so I'll go in and do legs them hopefully.

Glad I started working again....its only $10.50 an hour to start but its better then nothing. I drive an abulance around and pick up people to bring them to and from the hospital. Once I learn the routes and get my paperwork down it will be cake but till then there is alot to remember heh. The next 2 or 3 months will be hectic as hell for me! Work and school full time plus a girlfriend and the gym. I am only taking summer I classes now just so I have some free time to myself and just work a few more hours. I could use the $$.

Hey DB,

2 meals !!!!!!!!! AAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHH !!

Only 10.50 / hr. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would kill for that ! None of the full time employess where I work have had a raise in over two years !! Which ironically was when the owner built his 1/4 million dollar home !! That fat bastard! I'm off Thursday and am headed for god knows where . LOL Hopefully a job interview ! LOL

Heya big 5-0 hows it hangin?

Yea I ment to grab a tri-o-plex but forgot it at home this morning....Ill grab one tomorrow for sure! I guess it will help me cut lbs LOL...not the way I want to but it may work!

10.50 isn't to bad I guess but I was suppose to work security for 15/hr....job never fell through! But hey for a college kid I'll take it.

Congrats on squats PR Deadbolt, what kind of stance do you use and how low do you go on them?

I use a standard shoulder width stance....I vary it all the time though. See'ing as thats all I can do I try to change it up some....but never go to powerlifting stance b/c it eliminates alot fo the quad. And for depth always below 90deg's. I don't go ass to the grass but I break the 90deg mark.

Ah ok, I didn't realize that a powerlifting stance eliminated a lot for the quads, I've always used an extra wide stance (and gone to parallel). I've heard that if you go too low on a powerlifting stance, you might suffer from shin splints (whatever that is). I guess I'll have to change that up and see how it works for me. Thanks

Congrats on the new job!!! Hey Brother, 10.50 is more than you would have if you didn't have the job!!! It will all work out in the end, you'll see!!!

It is much easier to hit below 90 with a wide stance as well as it is easier to put up more weight b/c your at a limited range of motion....you don't need to move as far. And shin spints come from more then just squatting....its a common occurance with Xcountry, track, or any other sport that required running.
