Journal for 07'

Luke95 · 02-06-2007, 08:48 PM

Hello. It's been a while since I've had a formal log. I figured I should start one

I'm a Bio Enginerding student in Detroit.
I'm 5'10" 180ish.
I love pulling.
I hate pressing. (mostly because of the mental stress of being 'under' the weight)

My workouts are pretty much full (upper) body lately. I squeek into the gym between classes.

My diet is a free for all during this season. It's so freaki'n cold outside right now. My glasses froze "solid" on the way to class yesterday. I eat ANYthing I can afford to keep from getting sick.

My supplements range from a B complex and my minerals to my Seroquel

My goal? My SOLE purpose in the gym is the stress outlet. Everything else will fall into place.

I am hoping for comments and advice

Luke95 · 02-06-2007, 08:56 PM

Here are a couple recent workouts.

1-31

I’ll put up my workout from today. Mine have been mostly exercises that I can exert some real force on lately. I usually superset with something light and controlled to failure though.

Hammer Curls
65 x 6
75 x 6
80 x 4

Straight bar pressdown
200 x 6--à 150 x 12
200 x 7--à 150 x 13
200 x 6--à 150 x 9

(EZ bar cable curl) à bent side laterals
(200 x 4-à 130 x 12) à 20’s x 9
(200 x 4-à 140 x 11) à 20’s x 9

L 100 x 9
R 115 x 5
L 115 x 5
(4 minute rest)
R 125 x 6
(4 minute rest)
L 125 x 6
I start losing my grip on these. My back wants to keep pullin’ though.

Stiff arm pull downs
150 x 12 x 3

2-2
Hammer Curl
75 x 6
80 x 6

Straight bar Pressdowns ---> Side lateral raises
{200 x 12 ----> 35 x 6} x 2

Weighted crunch
200 x 25 x 4

Good to see you back here. You certainly have developed alot since you were last a regular poster here.

Bio-Engineering Eh? What are you looking at for a career?

Hey ID! I haven't posted on here 'regularly' in a LONG time

I'm transitioning into a Tissue enginerd'ing program. I want to grow organs and understand disease (mostly autoimmune disorders).

I also have a huge interest in cancer research. My senior project will be along those lines.

2-7

Overhead BB press (from the floor, so this includes racking it)
135 x 8
155 x 8
175 x 3
185 x 2
I throw a lot of lower body into these. They are by no means isolated

Straight bar press down ----> lateral raises
200 x 8-----> 30 x 8
(200 x 6 + 150 x 9)----> 25 x 9
(200 x 7 + 150 x 10)----> 25 x 8
(200 x 5 + 150 x 7)----> 20 x 13 + F
You'll see that I do lot's of pressdowns. THis is mostly because I like them. I like them because I feel I have a great level of control in the movement. I feel I can isolate certain parts of my tricep contraction.

I hope someday to have the classic tricep 'step'.

EZ bar Pullovers
135 x 5 x 5

Incline press BB(SLOW 4 second negatives, explosive open palmed positive)
135 x 5
145 x 5

fufu · 02-07-2007, 01:12 PM

Workouts look good.

Why no lower body? (besides the deadlifts and push press)

I just haven't been feeling the legs much lately. I'll get back into them when the weather warms up a bit. Around that time, I drop most of the upper body.

I've been enjoying having one semi-full body routine lately. I can gage how I feel and have a better sense of what heals how fast and what responds to what.

When running weather is back, I"ll be pretty much doing semi full lower body/back.

BTW, my BB idols

Bill

Larry

Zane

Kevin Richardson

And Greg Plitt

**IainDaniel** · 02-07-2007, 01:37 PM

Ah I thought you were into Mechanical Engineering or something along that line.

I was mechanical. I switched 2 years ago to Chemical with the Bio option.

I worked as a Mechanical Enginerd for 2 years for ZF Sachs Automotive. (Suspension and Vehicle Dynamics).

I don't think Mechanical is a good place for me to work for money. It's a great hobby though!

Someday I'll have 5 or 6 Porsches

I dig this Targa. I'm window shopping

Tom_B · 02-08-2007, 02:34 AM

Hey great to see ya around again!
Any particular reason why you do more leg work during warmer months?
Bio-Engineering huh? Sounds pretty neat. How many more years you got?

Hope you're having a good one!

My body just hasn't been asking for any legs lately.

I'm at Wayne State

Spud · 02-09-2007, 05:53 AM

At Toronto, bioengineering is an optional minor that most engineering students can take. Is it the same way at Wayne State? I want to find a place that offers a full out, jump right into it Bioengineering program. That would probably mean their grad school is pretty good for it.

Check out University of Illinois @ Chicago. They have a full out BIo program that has five paths. I am interested in a Tissue engineering program they have for a grad application.

Spud · 02-09-2007, 04:29 PM

The graduate program in Bioengineering looks VERY interesting. I have 1 or 2 more years till I graduate. Hopefully 2, as it would mean I have a 16 month co-op job.
