Ugh, I about pulled an all nighter last night doing a project (up till 5:50am), its kinda screwed with my day - I went to Ball State for a stupid muesem visit this morning, then class, then lunch and finally slept from 2pm to 7pm, I am gonna get some food and stuff then hopefully get to the gym by 9:30pm or so... I hope I can get some energy for Upper 1 week A...

Lawl, that sucks... What was the project for? Was it a group project? WTF is with a museum visit... Badasses don't go to museums Andrew... Methinks your sleep schedule's gonna be foox0red... Maybe you should get some Melatonin to help you fall asleep at a normal time or something.

AndrewSS · 11-09-2006, 06:48 PM

^ bahahahaha... its true - badasses dont go to museums... but have I ever been badass? Anyway, I think I can fall asleep by 1-2am tonight so thats ok methinks.

Luckily my fridays PWN, I just have one class @ 10am then nothing else... its awesome.

I am just trying to get some food and energy before going to the gym by 9:30pm or so tonight.

Seanp156 · 11-09-2006, 07:23 PM

Well, get your ass in gear and go! Oh, my fridays are equally as awesome becuase I NEVER have class on fridays

50lbs used

Standing lever rows: 8x3 - 5RM - 75RI

AndrewSS · 11-11-2006, 10:13 PM

^ sean, I am massive, 153lbs is EPIC

Seanp156 · 11-12-2006, 08:48 AM

True Story..... Lawl, the other day I saw this woman doing trap bar deadlifts with like 245lbs... She was hawt too... I was like, omg, she's stronger than andrew.

AndrewSS · 11-12-2006, 05:29 PM

I whilst no have lower 2 for this week because I had too many distractions/obligations today, oh well - this week was decently busy...

Next week I should be able to do all 4 workouts

*edit* sean, I can see your routine douchebag comment already....

Seanp156 · 11-13-2006, 11:04 AM

Lawl.... Lazy ass...

AndrewSS · 11-13-2006, 12:42 PM

AndrewSS · 11-14-2006, 06:27 PM

About to go start Upper 1: Week B, finally - I feel like I hath not beenst to the jim in a while... hopefully I can improve some on my BB benching...

AndrewSS · 11-14-2006, 09:54 PM

Upper 1: Week B: 11/14/06

DB Overhead seated press: 3x12 - 15RM - 30RI
35lbs used for 2 sets (got 8 on 2nd set), 30lbs for 8 reps

Pullups: 3x7 - 9RM - 30RI
BW used, last set got 5 reps

BB Bench press: 5x5 - 7RM - 75RI
135lbs used

DB Rows: 5x5 - 7RM - 75RI
55lbs used

Skullcrushers: 5x5 - 7RM - 75RI
55lbs used

Rotator cuff work

Stretch

- Work out was ok, I didnt do so great for DB overhead or pullups, but atleast I completed my BB benching for all 5 sets without reducing weight/reps

Seanp156 · 11-14-2006, 10:39 PM

Nice workout... Pullups seem pretty good given the RI's to me... Better than I can do

.Benching looks a little better than normal too.

AndrewSS · 11-14-2006, 11:30 PM

^ Doth pose, yeah the benching was a bit better, lately with that weight and whatnot I wouldnt make it to all 5 reps on the last 2 sets, but I did.

I still feel like my bench is purty shatty... I still wonder if I should focus on my chest a bit more... i dunno if more volume is needed, any thoughts?

*post #420... I better go fire up the bong to celebrate duddeeeee.... sean, next time I get intown wanna get blazed and run over some children?*

Umm, yeah we do that everytime you come back... Then we'll hit up the Ozone (company that bought Hot Shots Billiards and Bar) for some drinks and screw some girls on the pool tables.

Benching is pretty slow for me to gain as well... Some of the guys I lift with said that it's really hard to gain on your bench without putting bodyweight on... Where is your slow/sticking point when you bench? Right off the chest?

AndrewSS · 11-15-2006, 12:38 PM

^ Methinks its more so on the bottom to mid part of the lift... I read that FuFu felt like speed benching could help, I also might agree that using more weight to train in a rep range of like 3 reps or so more often could help, IDK anymore ideas?

The bodyweight thing defintly would make sense though...

Seanp156 · 11-15-2006, 03:56 PM

Speed benching *might* help... Other suggestions are flat DB presses (the guys I lift with said that). Also, pause presses: pausing on your chest for ~ 3 seconds and bench presses starting at the bottom. To do those you need a power rack, then adjust the safety bars so the bar is resting on the RIGHT at your chest level and start the bench press from the bottom instead of the top, the will take the stretch reflex out of the lift.

AndrewSS · 11-15-2006, 07:40 PM

^ I might try that.
