Deads ReHab...

DeadBolt · 04-19-2005, 11:44 PM

Well in the shower I noticed my legs looked a little beefy...more so then normal. So I measured them when I got out...I thought they would have been bigger LOL....only 26.5".

Last time I measured them in novemeber they were 25" even....its all fat I know. Just figured I would share that with you LOL now I'm really off to sleep.

Archangel · 04-20-2005, 06:35 PM

Only 26.5??? Keep it up, glad the job is going well!!!

Yea I know they are small but on my 5'6" frame its impossible to find pants/shorts that fit right!

Job is doing good...just got off shift. Drove for like 9 hours after I calculated all my traveling time....man I'm beat! Off to the sack!

Rissole · 04-20-2005, 09:46 PM

And which leg did you measure.....

LOL your to funny

I like having bigger legs then the average joe but man finding clothes to fit em is hard as hell! I can't stand super tight pants....I don't like them baggy as hell either I like a normal fit but that seems nearly impossible anymore LOL.

Squats
Deadlift
Machine Bench Press
B/O Row
V bar Pushdown
DB Curls

Alaric · 04-22-2005, 12:23 PM

Just out of curiosity, how much time do you usually spend on a full body workout??

Archangel · 04-22-2005, 05:21 PM

Sweet, How did the shoulder feel? Welcome to the world of FullBody Brother

Al Thanks for stoppin in bud! This one only took me about 25 minutes but they can range on your goals. Depends on how fast you feel like movin lol

Brotha Arch Hell yea man feels good to be back in the gym. Shoulder felt ok...no pain but a little discomfort I guess I can say. As long as I don't max out I'll be fine! I use to hate full body w/o's but after not lifting for 3 months this was my best damn full body ever lol!! I will stick with em for a while till the shoulder is ready for more volume.

4-21-05 Full Body Time: 25 minutes

Squats
135*8
185*7

Deads
135*10
185*6

Machine Bench
75*15
105*10
120*8

B/O Row
80*12
100*10

Vbar pushdown
90*12
100*10

DB Curl
20's*10
30's*8

Rehab cuff work

Squats-Had no desire to squat...they were actually shitty reps b/c I just wasn't in that mood...should have done the press. I am going to go lighter from now on and go as deep as possible with controlled reps. Funny a few weeks ago I was squatting 205 now 185 feels just as heavy. I dunno whats up.

Deads-Cake walk...I will gradually increase but I see 225 in the near future

Bench-Started light but the 120 got the tingle in the shoulder...I will stay around these weights for a while.

bo row-these felt good....def lost strength in my back though I use to go alot heavier then that.

pushdowns-surprised these were that easy...didn't lose much strength here.

curls-these bothered the shoulder a tad...gotta stay light on the curls from now on.

OVERALL great w/o happy to be back. Flew through the w/o with 20-30 sec RI's. Finished in just about 25 minutes....and for the record my traps are fuckin SORE!!!! Those deads nailed em hard heh!

Alaric · 04-22-2005, 07:41 PM

Looking good, for your squats, maybe going deeper has affected your numbers or maybe just you not feeling it today. I'm sure that if you keep going deep/focusing in on them, your squats will explode through the roof!

Sorry if I missed it, but did you have a shoulder injury recently?

gwcaton · 04-22-2005, 07:55 PM

Nice wo DB,

Be careful with that shoulder !

Don't make me open a can of MoFo on you!! LOL I crack my self up LOL

Hey thanks for stoppin in bud.

I've gone heavier on the squats and went way below parallel with em....in the 200's but lately I have no desire to squat. I think b/c I have been squating tooo too much so I'm losing it. I may back off some and come back to them in a week or so.

Yes I injured my left rotator cuff....it was either a very bad sprain or its torn

Oh I am def carefull GW! I can't afford to hurt it more....non of those lifts were done to failur or anywhere near it. I still had alot left in me I just wasn't gonna push it!

Archangel · 04-23-2005, 09:24 AM

Thats one Heckuva W/O there Brother Bolt!!! Your'e being smart by not pushing too far just yet, Nice lookin numbers your throwin up there too!!! Totally agree about Deads frying your traps

Be careful with that shoulder, keep it up, I love the full body routines. Your a stallion Brother, keep pushin!!!

Heya brotha thanks for the kind words! Yea I have a tendency to push myself to far coming back from an injury or a break so that w/o was tuff to manage hehe. I'm use to going all out and puting as much intensity as possible....its hard to limit yourself.

Archangel · 04-23-2005, 10:21 AM

Your doin GREAT Brother, how is the shoulder holdin up? I hear ya, its definatly hard to limit, especially if your used to going ALL out!!! I said in my journal you could take my entire w/o, I'd let ya do it and watch

(So I don't have to do it)

Shoulder is ok...its sore the past couple days with work then lifting and everything but its not a bad pain. Just sore. I want to go workout today...I just need to get off my ass shower and get to it LOL.

Archangel · 04-23-2005, 10:30 AM

If your shoulder is still sore, maybe only do SuperSets once a while or somethin, those things shred my shoulder!!! I know you'll be smart about it

Good Luck Brother!!!

Yea for now I am just going to stick with what I'm doing. Just till the shoulder is better some ya know.

I was thinking of sticking with these 6 exercises...do it like 3x week and stick to the same exact weights each week. If I feel I need to go heavier then I'll up the weight once a week and do that 3x's rather then every workout.

Archangel · 04-23-2005, 10:43 AM

Now that is an excellent plan of attack my Brother!!!

DeadBolt · 04-25-2005, 10:11 PM

Today was a good day in the gym! I got out of class an hour early so I didn't rush at all today...heres how it went:

Squat
185*7
205*6
225*3 PR!!!
~~Clean reps below 90deg

Deadlift
185*6
195*4
205*4 PR!!!
~~Grip failed...I could have gone more but couldn't hold it!

BB Bench Press
95*10
115*8
135*4

B/O Row
100*10
100*8

V Bar Pushdown
100*12
120*10

DB Curl
30's*10
35's*5

Rotator Cuff Work

Today was a good day in the gym LOL...2 PR's!

Squats were tuff those really drained me. I put everything I had into them and they felt great. Such an ego booster with this new PR lol.

Deadlifts I lost my grip the last 2 sets thats why I only got 4 reps. I'll be hitting 225 in em in no time...gotta start working on my grip. I am going to incorporate some static holds or something.

Bench felt tuff....I lost ALOT of strength in my chest. I was putting up alot more weight for more reps a while ago...this is goin to take alot of work to get my bench numbers back.

B/o rows aren't getting easier LOL....back is alot weaker then normal.

V bar...these felt good lost no strength here

DB Curls are down alot. I was curling 40's now I can barely get the 35's up.

Alaric · 04-25-2005, 10:20 PM

2 New PR's in one workout session, congrats and good job!

For your deadlifts, are you using any straps/chalk/belt or are you going all out raw?

Don't worry about that bench press, I'm sure you'll get your numbers back up there in no time!

Thanks for stoppin in bud!! Always a pleasure see'ing you here.

All raw for my deads....no straps,belt,chalk nuttin! Just grab the bar and pull heh!

I'm hopin my muscle memory is as good as others around here...but I'm not pushing anything. I'm not lookin to screw my shoulder up again!

Alaric · 04-25-2005, 10:42 PM

Anytime man!

The fact that you're lifting it raw makes it that much more impressive! Nothing beats the feeling you get from the flesh-steel connection

Most definitley, as long as your shoulder is ok, that's what counts most!
