Sean's going for strength.

Archangel · 03-06-2006, 04:47 PM

For being tough on you that was a heck-uva w/o BRother Sean!!! My reps are going to be higher on my new routine, so that means weights will be slightly down!!! Lookin good in here my Friend!!!

Haha. Compounded with 30 second rest intervals, it is a big hit to the ego. God I hate that shit. Wait until you see what I have in store for myself after my competition. It'll make you puke just reading it.

Hehe... When I'm done with upper/lower i'll probably go back to westside, but I have no idea how long I plan on upper/lower.

Seanp156 · 03-08-2006, 03:03 PM

Today's workout was... meh. The overhead presses and chinups were a bust. I'm not sure what to do for chinups b/c I can't get 12 reps with my bodyweight... Should I use the assisted machine for going that high, just do lat pull downs, or just do each set with my BW until failure (which is what I did today)? Decline were fairly solid... The Dorsi Flexor Row machine was broken, and I love that thing... I just did DB rows instead.

Overhead Press
85lbs x 12 reps
75lbs x 6 reps
65lbs x 8 reps
30 sec RI's

Close Parallel grip Chinups
BW x 5
BW x 5
BW x 2.5
30 sec RI's

BB Decline Press
155lbs x 4 sets x 5 reps
75 sec RI's

DB Rows
70lbs x 2 sets x 5 reps
60lbs x 3 sets x 5 reps
75 sec RI's

Skull Crushers
60lbs x 5 sets x 5 reps
75 sec RI's

stretch

I turned in my application to the gym today, and e-mailed their human resource guy, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed....

Archangel · 03-08-2006, 03:58 PM

Great w/o BRother Sean, hope you get the job my Friend!!!

Seanp156 · 03-08-2006, 07:27 PM

Definately not a great workout, but thanks

Ok, I got an email back from the human resource manager... He said they have positions available at a couple locations, but they're a little further from me than the other options... Instead of the one I go to (5 min drive) and the other two that are about 14-16 min drives, these are about 30-35 min drives... It's not exactly ideal, but I don't know if I should just take what I can get, and hope to transfer to a closer location later or not...

DeadBolt · 03-09-2006, 08:46 AM

Seanp156 · 03-13-2006, 03:45 PM

Thank ya, though sometimes how slow progess is can be frustrating... Anyway, I didn't get to the gym this afternoon, I was REALLY tired... I haven't been sleeping well the past 3-4 days, I think b/c the weather's changing and it's getting pretty warm and humid out.

I just decided to sleep in, and study for my final tonight, and get to the gym after my final...

Archangel · 03-13-2006, 03:49 PM

Rest is ALWAYS a Good thing BRother Sean!!!

They're pretty good.... At kicking my ass

. I'm definately not used to keeping track of my RI's... That alone adds a lot more challenge, plus I haven't done high reps for a while either...

Yea boy higher reps are brutal!

I never really track my RIs to a 'T' but I know week to week with prrs how long things need to be.

Seanp156 · 03-13-2006, 10:55 PM

Are any of these ava's better than my current one? I can't decide if I like either more than my current...

DeadBolt · 03-13-2006, 10:58 PM

Nope keep the current one.....you look pretty beefy in your current avi! Only way people would realize your a small little weak fucker is if they come here
