1/31/06 Chest and Triceps - Shock week:

Chest

Superset: DB Decline: 45x10
DB Decline: 45x8
DB Incline: 35x8
DB Incline: 30x9

Dropset: DB Flatbench: 40x9, 35x5, 30x7 (couldnt believe how tired I was)

Superset: BB Skullcrushers: 45x8
BB Skullcrushers: 40x9
Bench Dips: 45x12
Bench Dips: 45x10

Then 3 sets of ab workouts, and 6min on the stairmaster and got 37 floors in that 6min time... I dunno why I got so light headed after that.... kinda sucked even though it wasnt that much.

Anyway, I really like shock week, it feels good... I just hope I did it right, thanks!

Looks like you did most of it right, but on things like the DB incline and decline, you generally don't want to superset... Perhaps there are exceptions...

oh really... why is that? I thought on that little routine you showed me via AIM included dbincline in a superset... or do you mean having db incline and db decline in the same superset?

Don't recall that... I think in my routine it's DB Decline Bench, then DB Decline Flyes.

I mean... you don't want to superset things like incline and decline bench with each other, because they're essentially the same exercise with a little variation.

Look pretty decent... You might think about doing a little less biceps and some more rows/lat work though... I dunno.

well... yeah I only got a 2 day workout week again... so yeah, I have adjusted my routine to getting my workout done on monday: back/biceps (might change biceps to triceps) wednesday: legs/shoulders thursday: chest/triceps (might switch to biceps)

anyway, I often leave for chicago on fridays, cutting out my workout on that day and the weekend, so I am adjusting my routine so it doesnt happen anymore!

DB: 65x12
lever: 110x12

You slacker !!!!!!! No legs for 2 weeks ... Methinks you should just drop the towel/pad and get used to it... I use to use a pad, then I tried it without and I've never thought about using one again, the weight feels so much more stable without one.

i didnt want to skip but when I left for chicago I couldnt get to it, then the week before hand bad luck prevented me, I had 2 times the weight room was closed un expectedly. Oh well, I have adjusted my routine to be done by friday so going anywhere for the weekend doesnt get in the way of working out

2/9/06 Chest and Triceps: Power week.

BB Flat bench: 135x5
145x2
125x6
135x4

^ kinda disapointed, although I have been doing well with DB flat benching... so its not all that bad. BB flat benching is probably one of my least favorite lifts and I have become fairly stagnant with it, I think maybe it might be hurting me to be using BB benching only once out of every 3 weeks since the other 2 weeks are DB flat bench. Any ideas?

BB Incline bench: 75x7 (way to easy)
95x6
115x4 (pb)

Dips: BW: 7
10x6
15x6
20x5 (pb)

DB Skullcrushers: 25x5
20x6
25x3

Bench dips: 45x7
45x7
45x7

Cable push downs: 60x5
50x8
60x4

- overall not a bad workout, I am a bit disapointed with my flat BB bench, but oh well. I was happy with my BB incline results and my dips.

*oh... I was swapping out the attachments on the machine I do cable pushdowns on, going over to another machine for the attachment I like to use for pushdowns, so anyway I go to clip it off and the braided metal cable was frayed alittle. I didnt notice so when I reached up I poked my hand with the metal, didnt really feel anything. I looked up at the cable, and there was some older dried blood on it.... pretty damn gross (hopefully no AIDS or hepatitus... LOL) So yeah, awesome, I tell the person at the desk and apparently it was reported but nobody did anything about it. Anyway, just a little thing that happend...

Same with me... My BB bench seems to have stagnated... I'm going to use DB's only for a while... When I did Westside it seems to help a lot when I used incline DB Bench for 4-6 reps, and I was suprised when I switch to a BB for incline.

Lol dried blood on the equipment??? WTF? Did someone decide to slit their wrists there or something?

Nice job trying weighted dips

I'm about to leave for back/tri day today

heh, yeah this was my first week doing weighted dips... lol but anyway I liked them I plan to use that now. Yeah.. the blood was gross, especially since I cut myself right where someone else did on the cable. Have fun with back/tri day, I might do that too, switch my biceps to chest day and the triceps to back. Might make more sense.
