Very good deadlifting there D and i like the squats

Double D · 12-08-2006, 05:00 PM

Fufu My dead man is probably a weak 430 or so. That drives me crazy since my 1rm on squats has to be over 400. I ought to be able to dead way more than I squat, I dont get it.

Gwcaton It is very intense. Its the first time that I have done these in forever. Stew wont be to happy with these, haha.

Gaz I get so down on myself whenever a have a weak day!! I prepare so well all week to kick ass, and then throw a shitty workout like that together just makes me mad.

Akira ME-Max effort DE-Dynamic effort RE-Rep effort
All revolves around westside training. Which I have benefitted from alot. Bench has went from around 280 (which I was running alot) to a current 330 or so.

Trips You know I would never make fun of you, haha. So when are you going to make it to Illinois to play some ball with me?

Archie I sure hope my squat is over 400, I am positive it is now.

Brutus You may have some puny arms as of now, but with your dedication and hard work it definitly wont be for long, I will gurantee you that! Seemed like mine were 18 over night!

Brutus_G · 12-08-2006, 05:51 PM

I know this will confuse you D and maybe you will just sputter in bewilderment wondering how i can live with myself. Maybe i was hit on the head as a child with a very heavy object multiple times.

I don't care that much about arm size. My arms are 11'' and i could care less as long as they don't get way out of proportion. I just want bigger lats,chest,traps,thighs,and hamstrings. Speaking of arms i got alot of acne there on my triceps is that odd?

Double D · 12-09-2006, 12:01 AM

Ya I dont know why any man wouldnt want to have big arms, but its cool with all the things you mentioned will come the arms along the way. As far as the acne I have no idea, just as long as its not really bad I wouldnt worry about it.

RE Upper day at 5pm today! Lets do this shit!

fufu · 12-09-2006, 12:05 AM

Well some guys can squat more than they deadlift. Ed Coen for example, one of the greatest powerlifters.

Double D · 12-09-2006, 12:07 AM

Ya you are right, besdies I think I would rather have a bigger squat than dead. But still, I want a large dead as well. Its not like I dont do em, but they just arent going anywhere.

Double D · 12-09-2006, 05:48 AM

By the way Fufu, Ed Coan is a fuckin beast! Good name drop.

BulkMeUp · 12-09-2006, 08:21 AM

I want bigger arms... well i also want bigger legs, bigger lats... heck i want a bigger body!!!

Deadlifts have gone up for me without any real specific focus on anything. I just do heavy triples and doubles and it seems to go up. Benchpress on the other hand....lawl, I have to put alot of hard work to get that to go up.

True story. Dead lifting would go up if i did jack shit ,but my bench i gotta do DB work ,rotator cuff work, back work ,arch work, and speed work to get like a 5-10 pound improvement. Dead lifts i dead lift and bam it's up 5 pounds in a week.

Oh well at least i can squat and row pretty good also.

Double D · 12-09-2006, 06:28 PM

Double D · 12-09-2006, 06:33 PM

BMU I would love for some more size on my arms as well. I want 20 inches one day, but 2 inches to go I just dont see it happening.

Fufu Wish I could say the same, I just am not going to give it any soecial attention. I will work on it hard and if it goes up it does and if not o well.

Brutus My bench just seems to jump for me, we are opposite, put us together and we could be dangerous.

We could strike fear into all the vegetarian's hearts and scare little children.

The fat skinny cardio freaks would be crushed with my dead lifting and your benching. 45 plates would be thrown and havoc wreaked.

Double D · 12-09-2006, 07:07 PM

Thats right, and you wont be feared because of your arm size and I will be because of my arm size, so you will be like a calm storm that all of a sudden explodes and I will be the storm that everyone fears.

"Gay", haha.

fufu · 12-09-2006, 07:21 PM

You have nice pull-up capability, do you ever do them weighted?

That workout looked certainly good to me! Espically considering that 135lbs you used on your Decline presses to 'just get form' is 20lbs heavier than my working weight!
Will you be switching up your routine once you start cutting? Or you sticking with this?
Also got your diet for the cut worked out yet? Or are you just going to kind of 'wing' it so to speak?

Double D · 12-09-2006, 11:07 PM

Fufu I have did them weighted a few years back, but right now I dont have a weighted belt. I used to use 45lbs. plate. And get about 6, but my pull-ups arent that good anymore. I am better rowing than I am doing more of a vertical pull.

Tom I dont have a diet prepared yet, I may need some help with that. BTW today I have had:

I am on midnights so bare with me.

Woke up at 4pm (an hour before my workout)
Fish oil
2 cups of yogurt
bannana
2 cups of skim milk
(Yeah no oats, didnt want to go on a full stomach)

Had a diet rockstar energy drink on the way to my buddies garage (Where I worked out today)

Postworkout meal (About 6ish)
1 cup of yogurt
Bananna
2 cups of skim milk

1 hour later 7 or so
8ounces of chicken breast
1/2 cup of brown rice
bannana
Fish oil
wanted to cook some broccolli, but got really lazy

10:30pm
Scoop of whey (Stole some of my brothers)
1 piece of pizza (couldnt help it, it was free)
Forgot my Natty PB at home

At 1:30 I am planning on eating 8 ounces of chicken 1/2 cup of broccolli
1 cup of green beans and some fish oil or natty PB.

I know it needs some work so far, but its much better than I have been eating. Normally its been more of a see food diet. Well to an extent, I eat no junk just alot of foods with a high protein content.

Burner02 · 12-13-2006, 06:19 PM

NICE skulls, brotha...w/ my elbows...I'll never get to go heavy w/ those.
But...maybe next time u should put the delt press before the skulls? Or did u do it that way on purpose?
