Not to mention they only go up to 110.

I'd be worried about an injury for no transition from 100 to 180 ... quit a jump. Great weights and a great job getting there brother ... just don't wreck your cuffs.

I don't put it in the journal, but I do some stretching before. I'll throw another warm up in there to be safe next time.

Elliptical: 10 minutes

Squats:
45 - 12
135 - 12
225 - 8,8,8

Leg Press:
6 plates - 12,12,12

Leg Extensions:
125 - 10,10,10

Really didn't feel like lifting at all today, so I just wanted to make sure I got some work in period. No progress today but I'm just happy I went.

**Gazhole** · 03-07-2007, 06:03 AM

Eh, not every day can be a championship day.

Save your energy and have a good one next time

Was by no means a bad workout though, dude!

Yeah, I just haven't had the motivation over the past 2 weeks. I had a stomach virus pretty bad last weekend and this is the first time squatting since.

Thanks, I guess it was a decent session!

6 plates on each side? You asshole. Ill catch up, you watch!

Whoa whoa, I just noticed, I thought you were going to ditch leg extensions?

Just 6 plates.

Flat BB Bench:
45 - 12
135 - 8
185 - 8
225 - 8,6,6

Seated DB Shoulder Press:
45's - 12,12,12

Dips:
BW - 10,10,10

DB Lateral Raises:
25's - 12,12,12

Incline DB Flyes:
35's - 6 (shoulder = ouch)

Tricep Pushdowns:
150 - 12,12,12

I was pretty happy with today. I have been utilizing a slow negative on the flat bench for the past few workouts, and my numbers are holding strong. I have a little discomfort in my left shoulder, not sure what from, but it's pretty annoying. Might have to put presses on the back burner for a while.

I haven't had 2 straight months of training in God knows how long due to illness or injury or fucking something!!!

AKIRA · 03-09-2007, 11:05 AM

Negatives on the bench is a bitch. In fact, NOW I remember why I didnt opt for a barbell bench instead of DB Bench for the Power week. If you get stuck, youre fucked.

I didnt make it to the gym yesterday. I was hung over and never knew why...until I saw 6 pics put up on my myspace that I have ZERO recollection of. Needless to say, I am still not into drinking for a while. Yes even this friday night. I will be going to the gym tonight.

Good workout, looks like you are kicking the volume back up.

Thanks, my upper's have been pretty close to this volume for the past few weeks, but it seems my legs respond to much lower volume, which I'm not complaining about.

fufu · 03-09-2007, 02:08 PM

Actually I am the same way. I've done plenty of 6-8 set days on lower, I love them.

Double D · 03-09-2007, 05:58 PM

I always have a spot, well almost always. And I like doing negs that are heavier than my max bench. I put 345 on the bar the other day and hit 2 negs. It killed!

Elliptical: 10 minutes

Squats:
45 - 12
135 - 3
155 - 3
185 - 3
205 - 3
225 - 3
245 - 3
265 - 3
275 - 3
280 - 2
290 - 1
300 - 1 PR

Lying Leg Curls:
125 - 7,7,7,5

Hypers:
35 - 7,7,7

CG Pulldowns:
205 - 7
225 - 7,5

DB Curls:
35's 10,10,10

Decline Sit-Ups:
BW - 12,12,12

OK, so on paper today looks pretty tough, but it was nice change of pace actually. The only thing I didn't like is that with the extended RI's on squats, the workout took me a little over 90 minutes.

I'm gonna go ahead and call 300 a PR for a squat considering how low I go now compared to how low I used to go back in the day. These are "perfect" squats now and I get compliments all the time, hence the PR.

I grabbed the first Westside template I found, so I don't know if this is right or not but I'll continue to go by this layout cuz I like it.

**Gazhole** · 03-13-2007, 06:59 AM

Fucking nice, dude. Very nice.

Im looking at a Westside style program for myself at the moment aswell. Big it up motherfucker :P.

Good going on the PR also

Thanks man, it's nice to change things completely every once in a while, it's liberating!

We almost posted simultaneously in each others journals.

We must have a special connection...

...will you marry me?

And aye! I cant wait to start. But first i have to write the program, lol.

145 - 9x3

Yates Rows: (90 sec RI)
165 - 12,12,10

Hanging Leg Raises: (60 sec RI)
BW - 12,12,12

Pretty happy with today's workout. Haven't front pressed heavy in a long while, and I'm only a few reps from a PR already. It's only day 2 of this routine and I'm already loving it. My shoulder warmed up today and I had little to no pain for the workout, so that's good too. People were giving me weird looks while I was doing the speed bench, so I just gave them a look like I knew something they didn't

.

A few chicks that used to workout at my first gym have joined this gym. All I can say is HPOA. The one tall blonde chick has what I like to call a "breezeway." She wears spandex and you can see right through her legs at the crotch. Leaves little to the imagination. Love it.

**Gazhole** · 03-14-2007, 07:13 AM

Nice going dude!

How did you find the Speed Benching? Ive never done it.

Enjoying Westside so far?

You couldnt do me a favour could you and email/PM the Westside template you used? Just for research *shrugs*.
