Quest for Strength
BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com Ive started quite a few journals but i never really stay faithful for more than a week so hopefully this time i will be more focused
 ... my goal is not really hypertrophy but strength and speed... i want to be as strong as possible pound for pound.. the reason being i want to play football on the D1 college level.. dont mind being benched, i just want to make the team.. ive played football every year from 7th to 12th except 9th grade because i broke my wrist before the season... so i dont know what id do without it... that being said..My current 1RM are unknown because i havent maxxed out in about 3 months... 3 months ago my Bench was 300, Squat 420, Deadlift.. unknown, and Powerclean unknown.. One day next week when im fresh and back used to workingout everyday i will do all of these on an Off day to find out some percentages for my workouts instead of guesswork... my weight is dropping, at first i was upset but i guess thats ok.. i went from 197 to 189.. im not sure when i lost this weight but hopefully i will put it back on... I injured my leg last week which messed up my training split.. so my split for this week is Monday: Upper Back, Shoulders(Delts), Biceps Tuesday: OFF Wednesday: Chest, Triceps, Forearms Thursday: OFF Friday:Legs, Lowerback SAT: Cardio, speedwork, plyometrics SuN: OFF The week as i planned it in the beginning and that i will switch back to will be Monday: Upper Back, Shoulders(Delts), Biceps Tuesday: OFF Wednesday: Legs, Lowerback Thursday: Jogging/Running(unsure of distance and intensity.. im going to try it as "active recovery") Friday:Chest, Triceps, Forearms SAT: Cardio, speedwork, plyometrics SuN: OFF keep in mind the goal is not to get bigger, its to get stronger and faster anyways any comments, critiques, or questions are welcome... i dont have a detailed workout because im usually pressed for time but after each day ill give a summary of my work..  |

Well i did my cardio for today, unplanned... Sitting at Tires Plus waiting for my car and my mom calls and asks me to find a way home so i could be here to sign for a package... had to walk/run fricken 4 miles home from tires plus so i could be here when the package came in, while my car was getting fixxed... and this shit still isnt here...

Thanks everyone... ill start off with this as Day 1... with my "drama" today i didnt find an oppurtunity to eat, i spent most of the day waiting at Tires Plus and then i decided to walk/jog home... i guess thatll be my unwanted cardio, 30 minz... when i got home i took 3 Anavol Capsules(2600g "proprietary Blend.. Creatine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, Glutamine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, and Citruline Malate)... 30 minz later i ate Frend Bread Pizza by Stouffer's(its really good).. 480 calories, 25g fat,16g protein, 47g carbs, 1130mg sodium, 40g Cholesterol...
Drink about 3 bottles of water so far throughout the day... 7:00 went to subway for 6in Tuna, lettuce, mayo mustard, salt and peper, american cheese, on itallian herb and cheese bread... not sure on the "nutrition facts" but it tasted good 7:30 wendys nuggets, fries, and a Hi-C Im sure in this journal most of my criticism will come from my poor eating habits and love for fast food... im trying to stop so i guess i will be training my mind and body.. workout specs tonight whenever i get a chance to get to Gold's |

Todays Workout:
CHEST: Flat Bench: 2x5 @ 245 1x5 @ 235 1x7 @ 225 Cable Crossovers: 2x10 not sure of the weight.. it says 18 i dont know how much it is though it felt hard so i just used it. im used to working out at home so i dont know all the machinery that well... Machine Flies:2x8 135(total so i guess thats 67.5 each arm?) TRICEPS Skull Crushers: 3x10 @ 65(ezbar) Diamond Pushups: 2 to failure.. lost count it hurt so bad.. I intended to do dips but i ran out of time i had to pick somebody up but im satisfied w/ the Tri workout FOREARMS Forearm Curls: 3x15@65(ezbar) Not sure of the name but ill call them "Biker Curls"... forearm curls where my Palms are facing my body im gripping the dumbells and curling like im reving up a motorcycle? does that make sense? "Biker Curls"?: 2x8@35lb dumbells in each hand curling away from body. Then 2 sets the opposite direction so curling towards my body After that i ran for 5 minz on the treadmill and ate a plain fried chicken sandwich from Chik-fil-A and drink a protein shake.. tommorrow if i have time will be Speed Training, i haven't put together a routine so ill be thinkin about that tonight and tommorrow.. otherwise itll just be rest and eat day..

Been doin flat barbell for as long as ive been working out, time to change it up. I wonder how long i'll be able to walk into Gold's for free without them asking if im a Member..

LEGS
Box Squats: 1x10@ 275 1x10@ 295 1x10@ 315 2x8@ 345 Leg Press: 1x10@ 315 1x10@ 405 1x10@ 455 1x8 @ 455 Leg Curls: 3x10,8,8 @ 120 Leg Extensions: 3x10 (forgot how much) Calf Raise Machine: 3x20,15,10@ 220 I have found a problem w/ my current training routine that I will have to work out... i want my gym time to between 45 minz and an hour the above took about the right amount of time meaning i did not have time to do lower back specific exercises.. Thus I will devote a day to what I will call "THE CORE" Monday: Chest, Triceps, Forearms Tuesday: Back, Shoulders, Biceps Wednesday  FFThursday: Legs Friday: OFF(Active Recovery for Legs) Saturday:THE CORE(ABs, Lower Back) SUN:hmm maybe start back at Chest, and rotate the schedule accordingly, i dont need an entire 7 days to recover at this point... any comments on the above? |

Thanks, thats a better one because it shows the percentages of your max as well, It came out 11 less than Men's Health for 345 @ 8 reps it showed 428.. i only use it because I do not 1RM squats or powercleans for fear of injury
i'll have to edit my signature because this calculator is probably more accurate |

I did the same thing but it was a minor injury, more like a pull, back when i used to Max every time i worked out, the old chest 4 times a week routine
 Im less concerned about getting hurt on bench than squats though... ive seen too many people load up that bar and crash to the ground.. its a scary sight  |
