Thread: MonStar's Journal: P/RR/S for Life!

Archangel: I agree man, no matter what my split is generally for the most part I always progress---for some reason. If I don't hit at least 1 new PR per week I'm dissapointed. Obviously I can't expect to progress on all my lifts, all the time, but I do the best I can.

DeadBolt: You're absolutely right bro, 100%. I used to be anal about overworking certain bodyparts, but anymore I don't even think twice about it. I know that sometimes I am going to end up overdoing it---but I just have to adjust. When I pair up back and then shoulders/traps the next day for example, I know I'm hitting traps pretty much on both days. But whatever. When I did chest today, I know I beat up my triceps, so tomorrow I'm going to go to train arms and I'm sure I'll be feeling the DOMS from today's workout. Oh well.

Chest

Flat DB Presses:

115's x 7
135 x 3!
115's x 7

Very nice PR here today for flat DB presses, hit the 135's for a triple, not too shabby at all. I was pretty impressed, and I think a few of the other guys around me at the gym were, too, lol.

Hammer Strength Iso-Bench Presses:

240 x 6
280 x 4
240 x 5

Not too bad here today, worked up to 3 plates per side for 4. I'm still getting used to Hammer Strength.

Flat DB Flyes:

65's x 7
70's x 6
70's x 5

Diet/Supplements:

Preworkout: 1 scoop of whey protein + skim milk, 25mg ephedrine, 25mcg T3
Postworkout: 1 scoop of whey protein + skim milk
Meal 1: oatmeal + 1 scoop of whey protein + peanut butter
Meal 2: 2 scoops weight-gainer + 1 pint of skim milk
Meal 3: whole-wheat tuna sandwich
Meal 4: 1% cottage cheese + yogurt
Meal 5: tuna wrap
Meal 6: 1/2 whole-wheat peanut butter sandwich
Meal 7: whole-wheat turkey & cheese sandwich

Good amount of protein today, ended up with roughly 280-290g or so today, not too shabby.

Sleep: 8 hours.

Weight: 214.5 lbs. Up slightly from yesterday, whatever.

Awesome PR on the DB Presses. Question, you throw these up yourself or do you have a spotter.

Ditto to blu....awsome work on the flat press my man!! Killer power there!!

bludevil: Hey man, thanks for stopping by, appreciate the support. When I do flat DB presses I first stand up with the DB's and sit down, with them on my knees. Then I basically power clean them back as I lay back on the bench. I don't need a spotter at all to hoist up the 135's. Now when it comes to seated DB presses, I usually get a spotter to help me get the first rep with anything over the 90's.

DeadBolt: Thanks bro, appreciate it. My gym has all the way up to the 140's so hopefully my next power week I'll be able to squeeze out a few reps with the 140's.

Arms

Standing BB Curls:

95 x 8
115 x 6
125 x 4

Really need to work on my bringing up my strength on BB curls, for whatever reason I can just never make any kind of appreciable gains in strength. I have absolutely no idea why, either.

Skullcrushers:

115 x 8
135 x 5
135 x 4

Nice sets of skulls here today, nothing too extraordinary. My elbows were aching a little today, not too bad, though.

Seated DB Hammer Curls:

60's x 7/7
65's x 5/5

Seated French Presses:

115 x 7
135 x 4

Finished up my arms today with some seated hammer curls and then some French presses, my arms were trashed. Good workout for the most part.

Hey Sexy!!!! I'm registered on this site now! Haha, but I guess you'll be switching over to the low-carb diet now?!
