Sean's going for strength.

fUnc17 · 02-28-2006, 11:00 AM

Looking good sean, whats your weight? Oh yeh, i used to play d2, I still might have my account.

Seanp156 · 02-28-2006, 12:22 PM

Thank ya Func, I'm around 184-185 right now (5'10"). I was 185.4 on Saturday which is my normal weigh in day, but last night before bed I was only 185.7 after having water and food throughout the day which I thought was odd...

**CowPimp** · 02-28-2006, 04:14 PM

Workouts looking good Sean. How are you liking them?

Pretty well, I was pleased with the pullups yesterday, but the decline pressing sucked... I'm wondering if I should keep the declines where they are, or move them to first in the workout so I'm not fatigured from the OH press and pullups...

My lats are more sore than they've ever been today... Trying to maintain the same weight for 8 sets is REALLY hard though, the last two sets I usually have to drop the weight some.

Don't worry about it. Your pressing muscles will be slightly fatigued, but you already prioritize horizontal upper body movements on the other day. I setup the routine like that on purpose. People generally put too much emphasis on the horizontal plane when it comes to upper body movements, but the vertical plane is just as important in my opinion.

Ooo, I love soreness in the lats. I rarely get that. 8x3 is definitely a demanding protocol. The first half of the sets are like okay, this is kinda tough but not too bad. As you approach the end you have to fight nail and tooth. If you don't quite make it, that's okay. Just keep the weight the same and shoot to hit 8x3 in full next time. Take your overhead press for example. Next time start at 95 pounds, and try to maintain that the entire time. If you only hit 2 repetitions on your last set or two, then try to hit 3s where you fell short on the next session.

Seanp156 · 03-01-2006, 10:28 AM

Yeah, I definately shouldn't have started with 105 for OH presses, I'll try to keep it at 95 the whole time next session. Hopefully I can do the same with squats and get 225 all 8 sets instead of dropping it to 205 the last 2.

I think I'm actually gonig to do the 2nd lower workout today instead of the 1st again... I was going to do the first again b/c I didn't want to mess the schedule up, but it doesn't really make a difference, and I don't want to do the same lower workout again.

Thats a lot of protein. Now im hungry...

DeadBolt · 03-01-2006, 10:43 AM

Yeah, I sometimes feel like that too, it helps a bit if you try to look up, but doesn't totally take the problem away... I'm supposed to do an 8x3 of them today

Thank ya, but I'm still not as strong as when I was on Westside, hopefully I'll get back there... It does kinda suck when they start changing things in online games after you get used to em...

Hey no worries man its all a mental deal your just use to throwing around different weight for different reps! Its 2 diff types of training bro you just need to realize that and also realize you still have the power....just keep at it bro your gettin there!!

Thanks DB, yeah this is DEFINATELY a different type of workout...

---------------------------------------------------------------

Good workout today, pretty brutal overall... My hams were screaming on the glute/ham raise and hypers...

Deadlifts
225lbs x 8 sets x 3 reps
75 sec RI's

Front Squats - still getting used to these for sure... hardest part is getting used to how the weight feels on the shoulders... Since I broke my collar bone, there's a little piece kinda sticking up like a spear through my skin almost (that's how it feels when the bar hits it)... If the bar so much as grazes that it hurts SOOO bad...

95lbs x 3
105lbs x 3
115lbs x 6 sets x 3 reps
75 sec RI's

Glute Ham Raises (never done these before)
couple warmup sets w/ bodyweight
10lbs x 2 sets x 10 reps
BW x 2 sets x 10 reps
45 sec RI's

Hyper Extensions (really hard after all that other stuff)
25lbs x 10
10lbs x 2 sets x 10 reps
BW x 10
45 sec RI's
stretch

155lbs x 5 sets x 3 reps
~75 sec RI's

BB Rows
155lbs x 8 sets x 3 reps

BW x 9
BW x 5
BW x 4
~45 sec RI's

Push Presses (I don't know if I should have these in here, I was REALLY tired by the time I got to them...)
85lbs x 4 (forgot I was only supposed to go to 3)

~30-45 sec RI's?

Lat Pulldowns (kind where you load the plates)
75lbs x 10

85lbs x 2 sets x 10 reps
~45 sec RI's

stretch

**CowPimp** · 03-05-2006, 01:33 PM

Good looking workout Sean. How's the weight loss coming along?

Seanp156 · 03-05-2006, 04:28 PM

It's going alright, at 183.6 this morning, but yesterday's diet was crap... Today's isn't the BEST so far, but I guess it's not bad... We ate at Mongolian BBQ after the Arnold

. I actually just got back... There are quite a few "sales sluts" there

.

I'm actually hungry now... I guess it was about 2 hours ago when I ate and we did a lot of walking

Archangel · 03-05-2006, 06:56 PM

Great w/o BRother Sean, sorry we mised each other!!!
