    HSS: Chest Specialization

    http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=1236824

    With no work, I can do whatever program I want to know without time restraints. I really like Chris's programs and with eating well and having the time to rest I think I'll see some good progress with this. I'll do Chest for 4 weeks, followed by Back for 4 weeks and then 1-2 weeks deloading. Then Shoulders followed by Legs.

    Here is the first Workout:

    Neutral Grip DB Bench-
    50 x 7
    60 x 5
    70 x 3
    60 x 7
    70 x 5
    80 x 3

    Decline Bench Press, Double Contraction (HARD) SuperSet with 2 Position Cable X-over (8-10 high position, then 8-10 Low)-
    95 x 8/ 15 x 10/10
    95 x 8/ 20 x 9/10
    95 x 8/ 20 x 10/10

    Combo DB/Cable Press-
    25DB, 10Cable x 12
    25DB, 15Cable x 10/9

    Pec Deck, last half of movement-
    15 x 100

    Workout time 40 min

    20 min of walking on treadmill afterwards.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

    Legs, low volume

    Frog Stance Squat-
    70 x 8/8/9

    SLDL-
    225 x 8/8/7

    Toes out Leg Ext-
    45 x 12/12
    52.5 x 11

    Iso Leg Curl-
    50 x 12/9/7

    Standing Calf-
    100 x 12/11/10

    60 sec RI's for all exercises

    My right knee has been hurting pretty good for a few months, taking stairs hurts and such so my quad movements are mainly for that area from what I've read. Hoping to build up and get the pain to dissapate.

    I think I'm taking a dive with the diet as well, very tired muscle wise in the gym.

    I am interested in seeing how this works out for you. I bet you will make some nice gains now that you aren’t caught up in work so much.

    Hey SEXY!!! I've given up the poker. And while I still had money LOL. In retrospect I realised how intensely addicted to it I was and that is definately counterproductive to what I'm trying to achieve here. Yep, I'm unemployed right now.

    Things I can't talk about because of the nature of my job. I just couldn't do it any longer a sleep at night. I plan to go back to school full-time and finish and in the meantime I'm finding what I'm about. I plan to do a lot of writing and I'm looking for some internships or stress free jobs to help out a bit.

    On a real note.. good luck with the job status. I hope this gives you some time off to really focus on your bodybuilding efforts. Nothing like a mini vacation!

    Random thought:

    If you become a pornstar you can make your name "Coccko."

    You may now continue.
