I've been following along and I must say the weights you're tossing around are impressive. Do you just start off with your top weight on these sets, or are there some warmup sets that aren't listed?

I warmup beforehand. I usually dont include that because I really didnt see a point of it... I figured it would be a bore to read.

I usually do about 2-3 minutes general warmup and then gradual weight acclimation for about 3 sets....6-10 reps NTF.

Well thanks, buts its nothing really. Its just gradually getting stronger over time. Dips have always come easily for me, it just so happens that is one of my stronger exercises. I owe it all to God given strength and hard work in the gym.

Im really not that big guys... a shade over 6'3 and about 250lbs, give or take.

250 spread over a 6'3 frame looks solid, but nothing near competitive really. I would have to REALLY dig down and eat.. and I already do that, but Im talking about getting some bf added as well... I like the gradual approach.

But I appreciate the words.. I will try to tape a workout... but I dunno how I would get that setup :P

camarosuper6 · 01-11-2007, 12:22 PM

One very big issue, at least to me, is the fact that after 120... the dumbells skip. Someone stole the 130's and then it goes to 150 and 190.

WTF... I know 150 will be too big a jump... and 190 is just out of the question at least for a year :/

at least for a year....haha that's funny. I find it amusing you are even entertaining the prospect of incline benching 190lb dbs....however, that being said, why do I have a feeling that you would actually do it?

Double D · 01-11-2007, 12:34 PM

Whats some measurements?

camarosuper6 · 01-11-2007, 12:39 PM

haha.. I was more thinking along the lines of maybe 190 db rows... 190 press?

I think its do-able. I think within one years time I can get there. No doubt.

But the DB situation is very irritating....

I have no idea about measurements really. I know my waist is about 37 inches...lol... arms probably 18ish? maybe a shade bigger? Im not really caught up on measurements... Im hooked on numbers.

Stewart20 · 01-11-2007, 12:43 PM

well, i have adjustable dbs at home to work with, so the weight isn't an issue for me, but the awkwardness is a huge factor. It is hard enough to get 130 lb dbs into position to bench, then when 4 of the plates on the db handle are 25s, it makes it that much more interesting. plus, to fit all the weight on there, you need to have the 18inch handles, so it limits the range of motion a tad when you bring the dbs together at the top.

But I guess for rows they would be fine. I never liked db rows though, I always felt they worked my arms more than my back

camarosuper6 · 01-11-2007, 12:45 PM

Yea.. there is def a mind/muscle connection you need to master for db rows.

Double D · 01-11-2007, 12:49 PM

I have the same problems with the damn db handles. I hate putting those 25's on there its such a pain in the ass. And then getting the db's onto your lap and the edges jabbing into your leg. Pisses me off.

Archangel · 01-11-2007, 04:18 PM

Wow, Impressive to say the least!!! Good Stuff!!!

Got a SUPER great deal today at Vitamin Shoppe... which has virtually replaced my online shopping, because they are comparible in prices in most proteins and creatines without the shipping and handling.

The discount rack had lots of Pro-55 Blended protein for 2 bucks a 2.5 container!!! Only because it expires in April!

I bought 7 buckets for 14 bucks change along with my Creatine HSC.

Archangel · 01-12-2007, 06:13 PM

Gotta LOVE good deals, Good Stuff!!!

camarosuper6 · 01-12-2007, 07:38 PM

Today

Delts/Forearms

Military Press (seated)

1) 255 x 5
2) 255 x 3

Hammer Press
1) 335 x 7
2) 335 x 5

Lateral Raise

60 x 6 x 2 sets

Had a very deep/dull ache in my forearms... had a hard time with laterals... this happens to me from time to time when doing low rep programs...ugh

Archangel · 01-12-2007, 07:44 PM

Wow, you can move some serious weight!!! My arms would fall off with that kinda poundage, Inspiring though!!!

I could never workout in a place like that. How could I do DB curls?

yes I am

you been down here before?

lmao @ the curls comment

Double D · 01-13-2007, 05:02 AM

So do you normally only do 2 all out sets for each exercise? It does make sense putting everything into 2 sets instead of drawing it out over 4 or so.

I was thinking that might a good way to workout once softball season gets underway or at least for part of it.

camarosuper6 · 01-13-2007, 09:54 AM

Ya know... it really depends.

Here is kinda how I see it. Each week I want to make some kind of progress, whether it be weight increase, rep increase, or overall load increase.

If I cant weight increase, I try to rep increase, if that doesnt go quite as well as I would like, I then increase the sets by 1. Start low, around 6 sets per bodypart, work my way up to 9 for larger... up to 4-5 for smaller.

Triple Threat · 01-13-2007, 10:02 AM

When you deload, do you stay away completely or do a lighter workout?
