235x8
235x6
205x10 *Easy

OH Press
135x10
145x8
155x5
105x10 *Easy
*I am so exhausted at this point!

Close gip Bench

185x8, failure

Side Raises

*This is a super light weight

Workout time-40 minutes

Rest in between sets was 1 min 45 secs-2 mins.

What is the deal guys? Was it just alot of reps or what? I felt really weak.

Bakerboy · 01-05-2007, 11:07 PM

^ Maybe you need to take a week off- rest up. Our bodies have their own way of telling us who's boss. When was the last time you took time off?

Double D · 01-05-2007, 11:08 PM

About 2-3 months ago.

Double D · 01-05-2007, 11:28 PM

BTW-This is for Brutus. I decided to do some hang cleans the other day. did 3x10 with 185. Those are tougher than I remember.

Oh yeah? THats some pretty good numbers for a while off you still must have it. I wouldnt go over 10 reps when doing cleans. I also think you need to take time off or just go really light for 1 week like 5-6 reps from failure.

Archangel · 01-06-2007, 08:55 AM

Just my opinion, but I think you need to take a week off, and cut some volume down!!!

I agree with Arch. If you can't stand to not workout at all, how about a deloading week?

Tom_B · 01-07-2007, 06:12 PM

2-3 months is exactly the perfect time to take a break .. every 8-12 weeks you should rest, whether it be a week of COMPLETE rest or a week with two or deload workouts. I know right around 8-12 weeks for me exercises stop progressing and I might even lose reps ... a for sure sign it's time to relax.

Also During this time I would eat a good dose of Protein/Fats AND carbs while sitting at maintenance calories. Your body not only needs a break from training every once a while, but also from dieting.

Other than that how are things going??

I smell a debate coming!

Double D · 01-07-2007, 10:56 PM

Everyone I have been gone for a few days which is unusual for me. I am taking 5 days off. Whatcha think is that enough? Last day I lifted was Friday and I am not going again until Weds.

I got a bar story it includes me throwing a guy through a table. You guys will love it, will post it later.

camarosuper6 · 01-07-2007, 10:58 PM

I love to rest and deload.

I usually break in some way every 4-6 weeks.

how about a whole week?
and..I gotta hear this!

Double D · 01-08-2007, 12:33 AM

Well went to the bar last night and me and my buddy walk in. As soon as we get there I have a guy come up to me and ask me and my buddy, what are you guys drinking? I say, bud light, my buddy says Keystone. Well He comments back to us, So your drinking Keystone and you look like you need a punch in the face (to me). I started laughing. I told him well do what you gotta do dont hold back. So after a few words were exchanged I walked to the bar to get a beer. About 10 minutes later I saw him coming after me. I stepped to the side and pushed him into a bar table gashing his head wide open. I actually walked away at this point. I went to the bartender and demanded a free beer, because this was horse shit that he spilled my new beer. So he kept looking at me the whole night. Right before I left I walk up to him and say, well I am leaving you wanted to be a big shot and hit me from behind now yours chance. i will walk out and you can come at me from behind, but you had better knock me out because I am going to make both eyes match. I went outside waited 10 minutes. His brother comes out, and says you arent going to fight my brother, I say so am I goin to fight you because I would love that just as well. He says well no yadda yadda yadda. My buddy ends up ripping my shirt off and saying to this guy, do you want to really fuck with him. By ripping my shirt off it was ripping the sleeves off of my shirt. It was funny, but now I am not so happy because he ruined my shirt. So I ended up telling his brother to get his happy ass back inside before I fuck him up. He walks back in and out walks 3 guys, but behind them walks out 2 of my buddies. At this point I was so ready.

Story will contiune later.

Burner02 · 01-08-2007, 12:53 AM

do u have 'come fuq w/ me' tattoed on your forehead?
I NEVER have these problems.....

1) your friend drinks...keystone?
2) he riped your shirt off?

answers:
1) introduce him to a better beer...that swill is only good when u are a poor student
2) shoulda punched him for ruining your shirt...and as he was picking himself off the ground...look at the other guys and said: He's my friend...what do u think I'm gonna do to you?

Double D · 01-08-2007, 07:58 AM

Ready for what was the question. I had no idea what condition these guys were in. I was told from another guy that these guys were huge crack heads and werent so much drunk as they were cracked out. And if anyone knows about trying to fight a crack head you know you have to really beat them to even get anywhere. They feel nothing. So picture this, theres about 5 of them and 4 of us. I am thinking I like my odds since the guy who wanted to start something with me was a soaking wet 170lbs. I was thinking this should be over quickly. Right before something happened the cops come flying in with their lights on. I was actually made to leave. I asked the cop do you really want me driving he said, "I dont care just get outa here, I know these guys you are fuckin with and I dont like where this is going!". At this point I am thinking wtf? Why is he picking sides with these guys? I am completely thrown for a loop on this one. I call my buddy who is from there. I tell him the whole story he tells me the cop actually buys stuff off of these guys. So I guess to make a long story short, nothing happened whenever the guys came out the door other than the cops pulling up and running us off. This was fine with me at this point, I was so drunk I am not real sure I could do much at this point anyways. I probably wouldve lost to the guy weighing in at 170lbs, haha.

Burner to answer your question, I think alot of people underestimate me sometimes simply because like my buddy says, "He doesnt look like much, but you ought to see him under that big shirt.".

Ya he did ruin my shirt, but he also said he would pay for it. I also think alot of people like to start things with me because we are the new guys out of town and we are always going places where we know no one. And at these po-dunk bars its easy to pick out the new guys. Besides I am your typical Abercrombie guy. I wear the Abercrombie clothes and things like that, so sure I am an easy target sometimes, but hey I like it that way, it makes it fun. Its a little better than my buddy, he likes to wear pink shirts now and then, and that has trouble written all over it!

Triple Threat · 01-08-2007, 10:05 AM

You need to find a classier type of bar. Either that or start going with an army.

CLASSIC!

BulkMeUp · 01-08-2007, 10:13 AM

regular fight magnet, arent you

I'd stay away from those type of bars. Not worth the trouble. Who needs crack-head zombies to fight with

Stewart20 · 01-08-2007, 10:17 AM

dude, I know you're only 25 and all, but you have a family, don't you think you should try to be a little more aware of that before you go and rumble with people? One of these days the law of averages states that you will get your ass handed to you HARD....now do you want your kids to see you all beat up for no reason?

of course, if people start with any member of your family, you have full reign to kill them for all I care, but to start nonsense bar fights with crackheads is a little silly at this point, to me anyway. If you were single, hey, that's another story, but that's just me. Personally, I love to look the part, but in reality, I would probably get killed if in a fight, I am not a fighter at all, I am a lover

...but, at 5'10" 225 lbs, at least I might look like someone not to fuq with, so getting big acts as like a built in deterrent

Of course, if I HAD to throw down, I am sure I could splatter a 170 pound person on the pavement, but I would rather not have to find out....

Rant over.....
although I do have to admit, these are very entertaining stories!!!

Triple Threat · 01-08-2007, 10:49 AM

There's a lot of wisdom in Stewart's post. You can probably handle yourself in a fist fight, but what if some drunk or doped up jerk pulls a gun?

Ah, good point Oh Wise One....Totally true, that is the one thing that stops me from confrontations 9 out of 10 times is the thought of the other person having a weapon. One on one, mano a mano, I have no problems taking on anyone, hey, if you can beat the crap out of me, so be it, but once they take out knives, guns, etc, that is just not worth the risk.

DD, talk to Burner about that one

yellowmoomba · 01-08-2007, 11:43 AM

Good story

Tom_B · 01-08-2007, 12:48 PM

Your break sounds perfect! (lol it's actually what I'm doing .. last lifted on Friday and I plan on starting back up Wednesday).

LOL Brutus why are you so against carbs? What did they ever do to you?

And RE: on the bar story...
BAHAHAHA! omg I'm losing it laughing! You almost got into a brawl with a bunch of coke heads, but then a bunch of dirty cops showed up and save their dealers! LOL such an amazing story, defintly keep that one in the back of your head.
I don't know why but this reminded me about the other day ... me and my friend were talking about her childhood - and her most strongest memory is eating Pizza at 3am with her family. See her dad use to be a bouncer, so he would come home every morning around 3 or so with a large pizza while everyone was sleeping. And becuase he was always drunk he'd stumble a bit wake everyone up, so they'd all go downstairs to see him, open the pizza, grab a wet cloth to wipe off the blood from his knuckles while he tells them all about the fights he got into that night. LOL her family would gather around her father at 3am, wiping blood from his knuckles as he tells them his latest bar fight story. She loved it.

(But yes .. it is dangerous.. you never know how fucked up the person you're dealing with is. However you gotta have a bit of adventure in your life! hahaha just try not to get into stuff with coke heads who deal to cops.)

They made me fat thus causing me to develop a eating disorder for a long time. Also it should be noted that they are the reason most people are fat. Most people have some allergy's to gluten. People have a fat ass tolerance for carbs(except 1/4 of the population). Carbs make one hungry. When i say carbs I'm excluding fruits and veggies except potatoes. Its easier to overeat carbs then protein and fat.

fufu · 01-08-2007, 02:14 PM

I think the reason most people are fat is because they are lazy and don't want to change their lifestyle and eating habits.
