Felt really good today. I like the variety of exercises I'm getting with this program. My dip belt finally got in today, but after I already went to the gym I have been holding a dumbell between my calves lately to add weight.

Cool man P/RR/S kicks ass eh?

Don't ya just love weighted dips? My chest and Tri's are so pumped after doing those.

Yea, i'm liking gopro's routine so far. Weighted dips are awesome! Nothing pumps me up more than being able to do more, even with the added weight, than i could before i started working out.

Off Day!

Weight: 204.5lbs *most likely water weight

Ugh, just found out my gym is closed on easter. Guess i get 2 off day's.

I don't normally write this kind of stuff, but this really boosted my spirits and confidence. A friend who I don't see often, except in really dark bars every now and then, came over to drop off some loot. I open the door, and he immediately says "Goddamn! You've been working out...". Made my day

Easter! Off Day! No Diet tracking!

Not tracking my diet today. I'll be good though. We're eating mostly seafood for dinner, so I should get some decent protein in.

I felt really good today. I did some general strength testing before my workout. I used dumbells with my new weight belt to test my max chin and dip weights. Also met my short term goal of being able to curl 150lbs.

Dumbell Row: 40 x 12 , 45 x 11

Pull Over: 40 x 15 , 40 x 12

Everything was pretty good today. I probably could have done a little more weight on the Dumbell Row, but i was playing it on the safe side. Never done pull overs before, but they were pretty fun. Chin ups rock

Your DB rows will be up round 90 soon I bet.

Take it slow and easy on pullovers too.

Everything was great. The laterals were really intense. My previous workout didn't have much to do with lats.

Begin Shock Week 1

Arm Day!

Weight: 203lbs

*reserved for workout data*

Standing DB Press, 1 arm: 30 x 8 , 40 x 7 *each arm

I occasionally use something like this. Standing with DB's, press each one alternately and bring the bells down and in so your palms are facing you (like Arnie presses). As you push up, rotate the DB and lean your torso away. You end up in a position similar to the old Bent Press lift. Anyway, just thought I'd throw that in.

Good luck for Shock Week Don't overdo the volume which I've been guilty of

Thanks Shock week is going pretty well. Learning some new exercises.
