hmmmmmmmm ok what did i do today. awwww shiat now I'm in trouble, to much blood in the alcohol system. It's hitting high levels memmory starting to fade......................

dvlmn666

j/k but beer sure does sound good right now

Shoulders:
3 sets Hammer strength Behind the neck Iso Press
3 sets Upright cable rows
3 sets Lateral Raises
3 sets Reverse Pec Decs

Traps:
3 sets machine shrugs - last was a drop

Tricept:
3 sets - Straight Bar Pushdowns
3 sets - Machine Dips
3 sets - Seated Tricept Extention machine (cable version)

ABS:
4 sets Laying Leg Raises with extra leg raise at the top 15,15,15,15

Cardio:
60 minutes on Precor Eliptical, I wonder if that damn machine is right said I burned over 950 calories. **shrug** if I did, that's cool if not oh well it felt good

IT, this drop set thing you suggested is kickin my a$$. My back is killing me today. (but in a good way)

irontime

Well sucks to be you buddy, cause I'm sure not going to be buying you any. But you are more than welcome to watch me chug the case you're going to be getting for me j/k

Glad to see you are loving the drop sets, are you doing them for everyexercise now?

dvlmn666

yep, every one of em. Plus usually at least 2 of the 3 sets as well (depending on how many I get on the first set). Plus with nobody showing up all week, I really pushed it.

The hardest part that I've noticed is the weights I can use changes big time depending on the order I do the exercises in. That's why sometimes the first set I'll hit 6-8 without a drop. But then I bump it up considerable to have to do a drop to hit that. Hope I'm doing that right

We'll see who'll be doin the drinking when this is all done. And hell when ya get back from the summer might just have to do another round

You know so you can have a chance to get me to buy you a beer. j/k

irontime

No idea if you are doing that right, if it burns like hell then you are doing it right, I guess this is what I do (don't know it I put this down before, sorry if i'm repeating myself)
warmup set - 12 reps
middle set - 6-8 reps
final set - 3 reps, quickly drop the weight in half and go till I die.
Not sure if this is the right way to do it. I just screwed around a bit and I like doing it this way.

And a competition for next year too, wow, I'm getting two cases of beer just for working out, thanx dvlmn, you're a pal

Hi dvlmn666...I wanted to drop in your journal and say a few things. How about if I needed some Strength Beyond Strength? Or mabye I'm Becoming someone else? Gosh, if I could only get 5 Minutes Alone. Or Use My Third Arm, or go to Planet Caravan. But I really don't want to have Hard Lines, Sunken Cheeks.

Holler if you hear me.

p.s.: I'm quite interested in the six-pack challenge.

My little man!

dvlmn666

now, that one suprised me, and worries me a bit. on the other board you had a backdoor boy on your avatar, yet your able to name some of the best Pantera songs

but anyway, what would you like to know about it? Basically me and IT before he leaves decide who managed to get the closest to getting the six pack without losing alot of muscle.

see we'd have to take a vote on letting you in on it though. after all you already have a head start, well at least on me you do

and thanks for stopin into the journal, feel free to stop anytime

Miss LeDix

What can I say? My musical tastes are varied. But really, I have the Far Beyond Driven CD right here next to me. I told my husband that you had a cool name for your journal (because I am looking for a cool name for my new journal) and he told me that it was the name of a Pantera album. And then he showed me the CD, so I decided to mess with you by talking about them. Worked, didn't it?

Don't worry, the BSB are still one of my favorites.

And no, I don't want to enter the challenge, I just wanted to know more about it. I know that both of you can have an awesome six pack if you work hard enough at it.

My little man!

this is actually the best i've ever been, so I'm not gonna stop now. in the end i want to get back up to 220 but with a 6 pack, but that'll have to wait til I actually see a 6 pack hehehe

So you spent a lot of time on your knees when you were younger?



j/k, Sorry bro, too tempting to resist.
Are you taking some sort of gelatine caps for your knees? They help a lot. Even eating some jello is good for them.

awww shiat, I shoulda knows that was coming. lmao, I set myself up for that one.

but nah, it was wanting to play basketball to much, and was wiling to sacrifice my knees because I'd screwed up my ankle and played anyway.

gelatine? I'm gonna have to try that. Thanks dude

If you are going to do the pill form then the caps are called
'glucosomine sulfate' or something like that, I'll get the correct spelling for you later if you want. But basically it's the same shit that's in jello and it's what is in between your joints. Supplementing this makes a big difference I noticed as I was running (crawling) mountains and my knees started hurting too. They were better after I started doing this.

yeah if you could get me the name of it. Sounds exactly like the aching I'm have to get rid of, only happens when I do alot of cardio. But doesn't bother me on leg days, it's weird like that.

I'd apreciate it dude.

irontime

Sure thing, I have to go back to the dorms pretty soon so I'll have it for you in a couple of hours.

Hey dvlmn,
Just curious.. in your post for today's workout.. you put cardio at the bottom.. do you do cardio last?

I do it first thing when i get to the gym, then i work out... is that okay? or is it better at the end?
(( this may be one of the stupider questions i have asked... but , ah well... ))

Shake Ya A$$!!!!

dvlmn666

yeah SG I do cardio last all days except for leg day. On leg day I have to do it first to warm up my knees.

I used to do it before my workout but found that I wasn't able to work on the weights as hard or with the same intensity.

I don't really know if one is better than the other. But I would think if your trying to cut it would be after the workout, just do to the fact that you'll use the carbs and food in your stomach during the workout, and then hopefully burn just fat during the cardio session.

I see alot of trainers having there clients doing it first though, not really sure if it's so they can double up a little bit between customers or if it's actually better.

But I have heard that it's also a good thing to start with as it warms up all your muscles and gets the blood flowing to them to help prevent injury.

I don't know if I answered the question, but hope I helped.

and by the way it isn't a stupid question, never a stupid question when it's trying to help better yourself

Miss LeDix

Hey dvlmn! I think there are people that think you should do cardio first and also people that think you should do it last. As usual, there are many opinions. You do make a good point about doing it last so you can give your all to the lifting. However, you should 'give your all' to everything you do in the gym, right?

I don't do cardio and lifting on the same day. That way, I can devote all my energies to one thing only. Ever thought about that?

And one last thing, a quick 5 minute warm up is a great idea to do pre-lifting. Gets the blood pumping and the muscles warmed up!

My little man!
