On a River Named Emotion
|
Journal for 07'
Hello. It's been a while since I've had a formal log. I figured I should start one
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  Last edited by Luke95 : 02-06-2007 at 10:10 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 (200 x 4-à 150 x 8) à 20’s x 11 EZ bar pull over 135 x 5 155 x 5 165 x 3 + F (couldn’t quite get it done) DB Rows R 100 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 DeadLift 225 x 4 315 x 4 405 x 2 430 x 2 Single arm DB row 90 x 6 125 x 5 x 2 Single arm DB flat press 70 x 5 80 x 5 85 x 4 x 2 Super Wide grip lat rows (least arm involvement as possible) 150 x 12 x 3 (SLOW for a good stretch) 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 |

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 Naturally Intense .com  And Greg Plitt  |

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      |

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! |

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.

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.

Here are a couple quick dodgey photos.
I'm on this new medication. (about to switch actually) It's been messing with my metabolism. I can tell I have a lower free level of glucocorticoids...... strength went up a bit. I didn't realize how much my back really did grow! That's cool. I'll keep eating at this pace for another month or two. Then I'll dial it back, bring in more leg and lower back stuff.... and some mild cardio.      Last edited by Luke95 : 02-21-2007 at 08:53 PM. |

Damn, your strength has really gone up buddy!!! Pics are looking great...can you post some from like when you first joined along with these? It'd be cool to see the progress.
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...
