Back

NG Pullups (pronated)

tempo: 2-1-1

bw x 12

Deadlifts

tempo: n/a
RI: 65secs

135 x 8
185 x 8
225 x 5
275 x 3
225 x 5
185 x 6

god, it was good to do deadlifts again after last week off. Doing 275 was easy, i could have easily surpassed my 315 mark but took it easy.

CG Pulldowns/CG Seated Row Superset

RI: 25secs

80 x 8/60 x 8 (tempo: 1-0-1)
90 x 8/70 x 8 (tempo: 3-0-1)
100 x 8/70 x 6, dropped to 60 + 2 (tempo: 2-3-1)

My arms were really fatigued on the last set. Had to decrease weight to finish it off.

Dumbbell Pullovers

tempo: 2-1-2
RI: 30secs

30 x 10
40 x 10

Abs

Swiss Ball Crunches

bw x 30
bw x 30
bw x 30 (holding medicine ball behind head)

Good workout. I love back day. I have been thinking about dropping the p/rr/s routine because i don't really like it. I may decide to do a push/pull/leg routine or go back to my old routine and just play around with the tempo/RI/weights/reps/exercises , etc...

shiznit2169 · 07-10-2005, 12:21 PM

ok, i decided to ditch the p/rr/s routine because it's just not working out. I am going back to my old routine and just playing around with variables such as tempo/rep/weight/RI..etc.

My routine will be like this

chest/bi/abs
legs
shoulders/abs/forearms
back/tri

I am going to be using that routine and start looking at some pull/push/leg routines to see if i like it and might consider trying it out.

shiznit2169 · 07-10-2005, 12:28 PM

Chest

Flat DB Bench

tempo: 2-0-1
RI: 45secs

60 x 6
80 x 1
70 x 8 (took me like 10 seconds to get the last rep up)
60 x 7 (last rep failed)

I tried to go for 80 today. It felt 10x heavier than 70's so i was surprised. It was hard to set it up because my form was shaky as i started it but got 1 rep anyways.

Smith Machine Incline Press

tempo: 1-0-1
RI: 35secs

95 x 8
135 x 8
175 x 3

I know it's the smith machine. Just wanted to try something different.

Cable Crossovers

tempo: 2-2-1
RI: 30secs

50 x 8
55 x 8
60 x 8

I did different variations for each set like standing up straight and then bending over more...u get the idea

Flyes

tempo: 2-1-2
RI: 25secs

25 x 10
30 x 10

Biceps

BB Curls

tempo: 3-0-2
RI: 15secs

45 x 15 (Wide Grip)
65 x 10 (Neutral Grip)

Pretty good workout, felt pumped. I only did 2 sets of bi's and no ab work because i already did bi's last wednesday and did a little work on friday (back day) as well as abs when i was doing the p/rr/s routine so i didn't want to overtrain.

shiznit2169 · 07-12-2005, 12:05 PM

Hamstrings

Seated Leg Curls

tempo: 2-0-1
RI: 30secs

90 x 8
110 x 6

Lying Leg Curls

SLDL's

tempo: 2-1-1
RI: 45secs

95 x 8

155 x 6

Quads

ATF Squats

RI: 65secs

135 x 8 (warmup)
155 x 8 (tempo: 1-0-1)
185 x 8 (tempo: 2-4-1)
225 x 6 (tempo: 2-1-1)

I love to mix up the tempo's during squats. Great killer for my legs.

Leg Press

RI: 60secs

270 x 8 (tempo: x/x/x - constant tension, never locking out)
360 x 8 (tempo: 2-1-1)
270 x 8 (tempo: x/x/x - constant tension, never locking out)
180 x 20 ( i went all out on this, doing as many as i can without stopping. By the time i got to 17 reps, i paused for 5 seconds then finished the last 3)

Calves

Calf Pushes (on leg press machine)

tempo: 2-1-2
RI: 30secs

180 x 15
180 x 12

Standing Calf Raises

tempo: 2-1-2
RI: 20secs

120 x failure
140 x failure

I'm pleased with this workout. I decided to do hammy's first today so that i don't completely neglect it because i'm usually not 100% focused after doing quads first. I could barely walk after doing calves and once again, had to sit down and stretch while catching my breath. Worst part is i have work tonight, ack.

Seanp156 · 07-12-2005, 12:57 PM

Nice w/o. On your leg press, is the machine the typical kind where you push the weight up at a 45 degree angle, or is it the kind where you push your body up with the weight?

shiznit2169 · 07-12-2005, 01:22 PM

thanks sean. The leg press is the 45 degree angle one. Looks like this (on the left)

There is also another leg press machine in my gym that i rarely use. You push up your body weight. The reason why i dont is because it only goes up to 375 and i can do that for 8 reps easily.

Looks like this...(on the right)

Well, im off to work. Be back later.

soxmuscle · 07-12-2005, 10:52 PM

any reason as to why you do both squats and leg press?

uhh..i dont know? Why is something wrong with that? The only thing i ever do for quads are squats, leg press, lunges (rarely), and leg extensions. I just like to really blast my legs, unless you give me a reason otherwise.

shiznit2169 · 07-13-2005, 03:15 PM

Shoulders

Standing BB Overhead Press

tempo: 2-1-1

Reverse Pec Deck

My arms were fatigued after the second set, it was tough to hold it for 2 seconds at the contracted part so i dropped the weight.

Lateral Raise/Frontal Raise Superset

RI: 25secs

15 x 8/15 x 8 (tempo: 2-1-1)
20 x 8/20 x 8 (tempo: x/x/x - cheating reps)
12 x 8/12 x 8 (tempo: 3-3-1)

The last set was brutal. The 3 second hold at the top really killed it and it was so hard to hold it for the last few reps.

DB Shoulder Shrugs

tempo: 1-1-1
RI: 30secs

65 x 12
70 x 12

Abs

Weighted Twisting Decline Crunches

COC - i just gripped these until my forearms were absolutely shot.

I went to the 99 restaurant with my brother after the gym and had a big turkey burger and baked potato. It was the first time i have ever tried one and it was so good. I need to buy those at a grocery store somewhere. Does anyone know if shaws or stop n shop has them?

shiznit2169 · 07-13-2005, 08:09 PM

ok, i put some pictures up. This is me after roughly 5 months training. Please dont bash me or anything. I still have a long way to go, but i am pleased with my progress so far. I look bigger when i take a picture of myself than when i look in the mirror.

btw, i took some leg shots but they didn't come out well. I used a shitty cell phone with horrible quality but i will be getting a digital camera soon...maybe.

**P-funk** · 07-13-2005, 08:10 PM

where are the pics??

**P-funk** · 07-13-2005, 08:16 PM

I see them now...

Lookin' good man. Traps and delts look great. You need to learn to pose from your back more or atleast flare your lats and make your back look more impressive. When you just stand there and don't flex it doesn't show you off well enough.

Great work all a round.

Seanp156 · 07-13-2005, 08:18 PM

^^ They're in his gallery (bah, you found em

). Nice progress Shiz, I can definately tell a difference in these new ones from your old one.

hey thanks for the feedback. My bro and i were having trouble learning how to pose. (He's reg56) if you didnt know. We kept posing in different ways to see what looks the best. It was really hard and we even got a little sore after flexing too much. When he was trying to do his back pose, i kept saying "try this and that like what pfunk did" because i remember lookin at how you posed your back picture. haha

oh, your bro is reg....cool....lol, I was looking at his pics before you posted yours and actually thinking that he looked a little like you. It is all starting to come together now. Well, you both are doing awsome. Do you train together?

We dont look alike at all. I'm tall and skinny. Hes about 5'8 and a pretty good mesomorph. We used to train together but now we don't because he goes to the gym so early in the morning. Not only that, he trains differently doing football style training like cleans, squats, bench, deadlifts, etc.. only because he has to build up his strength. I'm more of a BB type of guy as i just do bodyparts only. It was nice to train together since we each had a spot (and made fun of fools who had no clue what they were doing) but our schedules and training styles just doesn't work out.

shiznit2169 · 07-13-2005, 08:31 PM

another thing p. How do you flare out your back? like where do you position your hands and like your shoulders? Similar to what you did in your avatar?

Call me crazy, but i love to change up the tempo ranges, grip handles, RI, etc, etc...I just wanted to give it a try and i loved it. It really keeps my body guessing and i got a good workout out of it. I skipped deadlifts today because my legs were way too sore to even bend down. My right calf is making me limp as i walk so i focused a lot on rows and pullups today.

shiznit2169 · 07-16-2005, 07:36 PM

Tired of it. People always jokingly making fun of me because i eat the same foods everyday, call me a boring person and so skeptical. "Go eat your tuna" they said on a pizza night. "You're not going to get fat, you only live once" ... blah blah blah. "Always drinking water". Why are people so fucking ignorant. Seriously, leave me alone. Why does everyone care what kind of life style i (we) live. Mind your own damn business. Society isn't created for everyone to be the same. I've tried explaining everything, just doesn't work. They tune out or call me crazy, or better yet still don't understand a damn word i said. Worst part of all, even some of my relatives (most of all, my dad) bitch about everything. "What happened to you, you used to eat everything all the time. Now you're eating the same shit everyday. Ridiculous. You don't need to eat meat all the time. You're taking it too far. I didnt buy doritos and pizza for them to sit in the fridge all day." I have told him a 1000 times i dont need that shit, buy the good stuff but he still doesnt listen so i dont even bother with it anymore.

Once again, i ignore every fucking comment they say...but i had to get that off my chest (sorry for being bitchy). Just cant wait til i'm on my own and show the fools that all my hard work will pay off. 10 years from now, look at me...and now look at you. Those will be my exact words.

Anyone else get this bs? I hope you dont.

Seanp156 · 07-16-2005, 08:13 PM

Damn dude, that sucks.... I don't really get any of that from my friends or relatives (although, 3 of the friends I hang out with are "bodybuilders"), but sometimes when we all go out to eat together I'm a little hesitant, but you really can't let bodybuilding take over your life. If I'm hanging out with people and I'm hungry, I'll eat what's there (and try to make the healthiest choice available), when I can eat clean, I will. My parents are actually proud of me for starting to eat better and have said it's starting to influence them to do the same.

Some of my friends will poke a little fun at me trying to be a bodybuilder, but it's usually all in good fun. Just keep doing what your doing, and when they all have beer guts from college, you can show em your abs

**P-funk** · 07-16-2005, 08:21 PM

people always love to make comments like that to me too (or at least they used to). The thing is people say these things out of jealosy. Misery loves company. They go and eat pizza and shit all the time and they know how unhealthy it is for them to do that, to always eat garbage. You come a long and eat healthy and it makes them second guess themself and then the only way that they can feel good about their pizza is to have you eat it also. If you are eating it they wont feel as bad. Instead you don't so it guiolt trips them. They get jealous of you and your healthy ways and decide to poke fun.

Just like alcohol. When I gave up drinking a lot of my friends would still try to get my to drink and get hammered or smoke pot or whatever. They were really upset that they were still doing that shit and by having me there doing nothing it made them feel bad about themselves and so they would pick on me.

Fuck it. Don't listen to them. People always make fun of what they don't understand.

I used a shitty cell phone with horrible quality but i will be getting a digital camera soon...maybe.

You need to learn to pose from your back more or atleast flare your lats and make your back look more impressive. When you just stand there and don't flex it doesn't show you off well enough. Great work all a round.

It really keeps my body guessing and i got a good workout out of it. I skipped deadlifts today because my legs were way too sore to even bend down. My right calf is making me limp as i walk so i focused a lot on rows and pullups today.

People always jokingly making fun of me because i eat the same foods everyday, call me a boring person and so skeptical. "Go eat your tuna" they said on a pizza night. "You're not going to get fat, you only live once" ... blah blah blah. "Always drinking water". Why are people so fucking ignorant. Seriously, leave me alone. Why does everyone care what kind of life style i (we) live. Mind your own damn business. Society isn't created for everyone to be the same. I've tried explaining everything, just doesn't work. They tune out or call me crazy, or better yet still don't understand a damn word i said. Worst part of all, even some of my relatives (most of all, my dad) bitch about everything. "What happened to you, you used to eat everything all the time. Now you're eating the same shit everyday. Ridiculous. You don't need to eat meat all the time. You're taking it too far. I didnt buy doritos and pizza for them to sit in the fridge all day." I have told him a 1000 times i dont need that shit, buy the good stuff but he still doesnt listen so i dont even bother with it anymore. Once again, i ignore every fucking comment they say...but i had to get that off my chest (sorry for being bitchy). Just cant wait til i'm on my own and show the fools that all my hard work will pay off. 10 years from now, look at me...and now look at you. Those will be my exact words. Anyone else get this bs? I hope you dont.

I don't really get any of that from my friends or relatives (although, 3 of the friends I hang out with are "bodybuilders"), but sometimes when we all go out to eat together I'm a little hesitant, but you really can't let bodybuilding take over your life. If I'm hanging out with people and I'm hungry, I'll eat what's there (and try to make the healthiest choice available), when I can eat clean, I will. My parents are actually proud of me for starting to eat better and have said it's starting to influence them to do the same. Some of my friends will poke a little fun at me trying to be a bodybuilder, but it's usually all in good fun. Just keep doing what your doing, and when they all have beer guts from college, you can show em your abs .

The thing is people say these things out of jealosy. Misery loves company. They go and eat pizza and shit all the time and they know how unhealthy it is for them to do that, to always eat garbage. You come a long and eat healthy and it makes them second guess themself and then the only way that they can feel good about their pizza is to have you eat it also. If you are eating it they wont feel as bad. Instead you don't so it guiolt trips them. They get jealous of you and your healthy ways and decide to poke fun. Just like alcohol. When I gave up drinking a lot of my friends would still try to get my to drink and get hammered or smoke pot or whatever. They were really upset that they were still doing that shit and by having me there doing nothing it made them feel bad about themselves and so they would pick on me. Fuck it. Don't listen to them. People always make fun of what they don't understand.
