Hey guys.

Last journal has been retired.

No long intro here. This here is going to be my log of workouts, food, drinks, and experience. Feel free to fill the pages with bullshit, unless I don't like you. But, this is where I will be for a while.

First day will be Monday, 15 August 2005.

Thanks for stoppin by, fellas.

Hey Min0, I found a good gym in Elmsford. Theyre not all country-club types.

BodyWerx. Its right off the Sawmill. They sponsor a lot of the local BB shows.

Cool.

Don't laugh, if I'm ever upstate me and Du may train together.

Du · 08-15-2005, 08:36 PM

CI - Thanks. If you are familiar at all with my last journal, I am all about experimentation in adaptation. Therefore, youll see a whole slew of workout routines in here. I figure if I continually adapt, my body will be forced to do the same. See if you can figure out the routine I am starting with. We can make this a game throughout the thread - "guess that workout routine".

Sox - Ill try to keep the real lifting in here, and keep the anti-damon rhetoric unspoken. ("Try" being the key word here.) Good to see you here boss.

Rocco - I still like that name better than your old one. Never forget where you got it.

Big Mike - Good to see you here. Keep me updated about what we talked about via PM.

Min0 - you consider Tappan area as upstate? Im only 20 min away! You ought to come up sometime, my gym is great. Its really what Ive been wanting for years. DB's to 150, squat rack, leg press, hack squat... you name it, its there. Its a hole in the wall, all old equipment, but there are some great people there.

================================================== ===

So, tonights workout. #1 for this journal. What better way to start than with legs?

Warmup
Bodyweight hopping around the barbell area. Some ATF squats with just the bar.

Squat
225*6
285*5
305*6

Leg Press
280*6
540*4
540*6

Extensions
205*6
255*7 + 30 second static hold

Curls
135*6
145*6

SLDL
225*6
275*6

DB Mil Press
65s*6
90s*6
90s*4

Upright Row
65*8
95*6
105*5

Calf Raises
leg press machine weight * 40
leg press machine weight * 20

================================================== =====

Overall, the workout felt good. I am still nursing a hurt back, so squats weren't balls to the wall. Leg press is good. Extensions were killer, curls felt good. SLDL's, I can definitely go up in weight. Mil press - decent weight, but was running out of time. By the time I got to Upright rows, too, my shoulders were killing me. I intended on doing side laterals as well, but as you can see, that didnt happen.

Tomorrow is another day. Thanks for stoppin by fellas.

**Cold Iron** · 08-15-2005, 10:19 PM

Du- I'm actually really interested in the philosphy your buddy I think mentioned to you, when you guys were talking about only hitting a few real intense sets for each muscle,(more acclimation) in order to allow you to hit each muscle twice as frequently.

**soxmuscle** · 08-15-2005, 10:55 PM

It's very interesting, and worked for me greatly in the four weeks that I used it there Cold Iron.

Nice workout du, what are you focusing on with this routine here?

**Rocco32** · 08-16-2005, 06:29 AM

Great w/o!!! What stance do you take for your squats? I'll never forget where I got my name

Du · 08-16-2005, 08:00 AM

Cold Iron - Thats a good routine. Youll see it in about 3 weeks.

Sox - Thats part of the game, you gotta guess the routine.

Rocco - my squats are about shoulder-width. Sometimes just outside. I have a problem with leaning too far forward though, so I am trying to work on that.

Thanks for stoppin by.

**King Silverback** · 08-16-2005, 04:02 PM

Awesome numbers there my Friend!!! I'll definatly keep you posted!!! Thanks again, much appreciated!!!

Du · 08-16-2005, 08:17 PM

Thanks boss. And for the PM's - youre welcome, anytime.

Good lifts tonight. Back day here in NY.

Warmup
little bit of biking

Deadlifts
226*6
315*6
405*5
425*1 !!!!

BO Row
135*6
225*6
225*5

Pulldowns
210*6
220*5

Seated Cable Hypers
220*10
220*10

CG Cable Rows
160*7
200*6
220*5

CG Pullups

Im psyched about the deadlifts, I haven't done DL's at all in years. It feels good to have more than 4 plates on a side, the bar bending.

On a side note, Im also psyched about the fact that I am about to finish another tub of protein. Right now I am taking Cytogainer and regular whey. In less than a week, Ill be on All The Whey (Chocolate Mint) fulltime. Ive tried it, and its damn good.

**Rocco32** · 08-16-2005, 08:43 PM

I tried All the Whey and didn't really like it. Congrats on the Deadlift, that's really impressive for not doing them!!!

**soxmuscle** · 08-17-2005, 01:01 AM

Du, you still got me fooled. It's not HIT or HST. Your combining legs and shoulders followed by back. I will figure this out... Great workouts man, keep it up.

Oh cool, I get to bullshit... um I hope!

Good luck with the new journal Du, workout looks awesome!

Du · 08-17-2005, 09:00 AM

Rocco - Which protein & flavor did you get from them? I got 10lbs of Chocolate Mint, I believe it is a blend. Smooth like isolate, the creamy taste of concentrate. Still not a milkshake, but I like it.

I was thinkin about your comment after first seeing it... and I realized that was my first time, ever, doing DL's. Ive done SLDLs, and I did lots of powerlceans in highschool, but never actually deadlifted. I want 500 by the end of the year.

Sox - If I can keep you fooled, I can keep my body fooled. I think after next week, youll figure it out.

BC - Youre good people, bullshit away. Good to see ya here.

I think I tried the Vanilla. I'll have to try again. You'll definately have 500 by then!! I hope to have it soon as well.

Damn, nice w/o! Your strength is really up there.

**King Silverback** · 08-18-2005, 03:46 PM

Not a big fan of the man, but cant deny that is a good picture.

Im doin well. Had a long weekend - Bachelor party on Thursday, then had my little sister down at my apt all weekend. Took her to NYC for dinner and a little sightseeing, she has never been there.

Did legs tonight, quite the humbling experience. I left my numbers out in the truck, so Ill post em up tomorrow. I planned on doin legs and delts, but when ya cant walk and your back is too pumped too painful, its time to stop.

Ill let ya know tomorrow.

And on a side note - All The Whey chocolate mint is phenomenal. You guys gotta try this stuff.... so tasty, so smooth.

**DeadBolt** · 08-23-2005, 07:34 AM

Heya bro glad to see a new journal started! Congrats on the deads....not bad for the first time LOL. Lookin very strong!

All The Whey is good eh? I am lookin for some new ones bc mine are getting so blahhhh. I am using designer whey right now but I'm sick of it!

**Rocco32** · 08-23-2005, 12:16 PM

Let's see those numbers Du!!! I'm sure they will humble me (though I'm already meek

)
