Today's workout -

bench press RI 2 minutes
12 reps at 45 lbs, 10 reps at 115 lbs (warmup)
set #1 - 3 reps at 175 lbs
set #2 - 3 reps at 185 lbs
set #3 - 1 rep at 195 lbs PR
set #4 - 2 reps at 190 lbs

Wow having a spotter for the lose. On the third set I gave the guy specific directions to not touch the bar unless it starts falling down my me. I unrack and his hands are right under it as I bring it down. I bring the bar up and his hands are still right under it. I did it without help but the guy was pissing me off and I couldn't concentrate on the weight. I did another set at 190 and reminded him how I wanted to be spotted, he did it yet again. FUCKING DOUCHEBAG! I'm never going to ask for a spotter again unless I really need to.

incline dumb bell bench press RI 2 minutes
set #1 - 4 reps at x2 80 lbs
set #2 - 4 reps at x2 80 lbs PR

hammer strength wide chest press RI 2 90 seconds
set #1 - 6 reps at 135 lbs each side
set #2 - 6 reps at 135 lbs each side PR

weighted dips RI 75 seconds
set #1 - 4 reps at bodyweight + 15 lbs
set #2 - 4 reps at bodyweight + 15 lbs PR

close grip cable pushdown RI 75 seconds
set #1 - 4 reps at 150 lbs
set #2 - 4 reps at 150 lbs PR

Awesome workout except for the little bench press incident. PR on every movement. Next week I am going to change the rep scheme around.

Today there was like a fucking social hour at the gym. There were three groups of people in the gym talking and laughing and sitting on their pretty little machines. It was like a god damn coffee shop in there. Some woman that I think I have seen once at the gym was like "oh you cut your hair! blah blah blah" I ignored her because I was thinking to myself "she can't be talking to me". Then she says something like "Why did you shave it", so I was like, "wtf". I turn around and say, "yeah I wanted to cut it" then I smiled and turned around. People just love to socialize at the gym.

There is a group of big rugby players who work out at my gym. You know curls and benches 6 times a week. They half ass everything while working out for 2 hours or so. They see me squatting and i know they are thinking what the fuck, but i think hey they are all the same since day one They started out big they talk more then they work. I hate it do it real or leave. I really need to join a power lifter gym or maybe a roider gym both have good work ethic.

Hahaha, same thing at my gym today... There were like 6 fairly big bodybuilders all huddled around some machine talking... At one point, a trainer yelled out "Hey, break it up over there!"

Then, over by the lat pull down machine, shrug, machine, and power rack area (when I was doing squats in the power rack) there were like 3 out of shape guys standing around talking with lifting belts on, and occassionally they'd do a half assed set of pulldowns or shrugs...

They funny thing is, after I had gone through 3 of my exercises, they were STILL there talking...

In the words of fufu, lawl!

This one time at bandcamp .. haha no seriously

ok, at my gym in college, there are a lot of social groups as well. I mean, there are a couple serious lifters but all these bodybuilding wannabes talk about is girls, parties, and brag about how big they are flexing in the mirror while doing endless sets of chest and bicep work. Funny thing is, they always look at me when i do deadlifts, SLDL's, squats, lunges and so forth and they have this expression on their face like they're saying "What is that kid doing? Why is he doing those exercises?" and so forth.

But like i said, i don't worry much about them. I do my own thing and i know that i am gaining weight and getting stronger each day. Some people have pointed out that i am getting bigger. Those guys still look the same as they did when we started school in the fall.

I always feel so out of place doing deadlifts and squats when I am surrounded by those kind of people. There are these two women that sit on leg curl/extension machines that are right next to each other and just talk talk talk talk talk.

Those people are all around and usually have a crappy strength balance in their body.

Is that the gym that doens't have more than 150 lbs worth of plates?

I don't mind being out of place. It's better that way. I need to be left completely alone without any distractions when i train because i have specific RI's, supersets, and how long i am training for so i get can in and out quickly.

Heh, I somewhat consider my gym a "roider" gym... There are quite a few "non-natural" lifters where I go, but there are SO many people that go to my gym that it's such a diverse group, you get all kinds of people at my place.

Brutus_G · 05-01-2006, 11:12 PM

Lol no fufu that would be my home gym

. I workout at home and at school. 160!!! Really my scale says 161 but i suspect some of it's water. Let the cut begin. Sean so your saying that your roider gym has a weak work ethic to?

Not really, some people where I go work hard, others don't... It just comes down to the person.

fufu · 05-02-2006, 11:32 AM

today's workout -

chin ups(both hands supinated) RI 75 seconds
set #1 - 6 reps at bodyweight (pause for a second at bottom)
set #2 - 6 reps at bodyweight
set #3 - 6 reps at bodyweight

dumb bell rows RI 75 seconds
set #1 - 8 reps each side at 75 lbs
set #2 - 8 reps each side at 75 lbs
set #3 - 8 reps each side at 75 lbs

close grip straight arm cable pulldown RI 75 seconds
set #1 - 10 reps at 60 lbs
set #2 - 10 reps at 70 lbs
set #3 - 10 reps at 75 lbs PR (first time ever doing these)

these went easy, didn't want too much weight to get used to the movement. A great core movement as well at lats.

conventional deadlifts RI 90 seconds
set #1 - 10 reps at 135 lbs (warm up)
set #2 - 4 reps at 225 lbs (warm up)
set #3 - 3 reps at 285 lbs DOH
set #4 - 3 reps at 295 lbs DOH
set #5 - 3 reps at 305 lbs DOH PR

first time deadlifting over 300 lbs, that doubled with a DOH makes me feel happy.

alternating dumb bell curls RI 60 seconds
set #1 - 8 reps each arm at x2 40 lbs
set #2 - 8 reps each arm at x2 40 lbs

seated concentration curls RI 60 seconds
set #1 - 8 reps each arm at 40 lbs
set #2 - 8 reps each arm at 40 lbs

machine curls RI 60 seconds
set #1 - 8 reps at 70 lbs
set #2 - 8 reps each arm at 35 lbs(did single arm curls)

Awesome workout, lasted around 50 minutes. I started taking Xceed yesterday and it really works. I shortened RI's today and I felt like I was ready to start sets after only resting 30 seconds. This is the first creatine product I have taken which I knew actually worked. I noticed it creates more of a pump than normal. Good stuff, a bit expensive, but good. I'm pretty sure it isn't a placebo effect because I generally start using supplements expecting them to not work.

Nice workout Fufu !! My DOH grip sucks =\

static holds work wonders! I had trouble gripping 245 lbs a few months ago but then I started training grip consistantly and it really helped.

Brutus_G · 05-02-2006, 10:45 PM

set #5 - 3 reps at 305 lbs DOH PR

Your a beast man. Is strength training your main goal right now?

ty ty.

Strength is like 60% my goal and hypertrophy is 40%. I don't feel like diving into something like West Side or whatnot. I change up my rep ranges now and then but my squats, deadlifts, and bench presses will be lower for the most part.

fufu · 05-03-2006, 07:26 AM

Weight was 173 lbs this morning. Lower than I thought, oh well! Gained two pounds since I started trying to gain weight again a couple weeks ago. I'm shooting for a pound a week.

I'm gonna throw out some short term goals to make before I go to college.
squat - 315 (this should be easy, I might even be able to do this right now)
deadlift - 350 lbs any grip (again, I might be able to do this right now, but I work up to everything and hopefully I will get it for reps when I do it)
bench press - 225 (I'm guessing my max ATM is around 210 lbs, I've only been bench pressing with a barbell for a short time, hopefully I'll be able to kick the weight up quickly.

shiznit2169 · 05-03-2006, 04:29 PM

I'm pleased with my deadlift and bench strength but i wish i had your squat strength dammit!

I bench 245, deadlift 405, and squat only 255 .. sad

(These are my maxes by the way)

Squats have just come naturally come to me. They have always been the staple of my leg workout. I've been training legs a 1/3 of the time I've been training chest. Considering the time I've trained chest my bench press is mediocre at best. I'm still a novice to the barbell version of it though. Hopefully things turn out well.

405 lb deadlift is awesome btw. Especially at 180, and I'm guessing you were able to do them before you were 180 as well. Very impressive.

Ahg, I am registering for classes and this nonsense of time slots is getting to me.
