The MeatZatk Attack

MeatZatk · 06-21-2007, 04:06 PM

Just an afterthought, does anybody else feel weaker doing lateral raises as opposed to front raises? I mean maybe I'm just weak in the shoulders, but I'm only using 15lbs on lateral raises. I guess I could use more, but my form would suffer severely.

Double D · 06-21-2007, 11:31 PM

I dont do to many raises unless they are supersetted with a compound exercise....not my style.

I haven't done delt raises in a long time, but lateral raises were the weakest, followed by front and then rear.

Wahoo! I got another job. I'm now caddying at the new premier golf course in the area. I only get paid when I carry bags, so if there's no golfers, there's no cash for Meaty. Anyway, this works out really well for me because if I don't get a job at the longshore hall I can just go down to the course and try to pick up a couple loops. I missed leg/shoulder day yesterday because I worked in the morning and then did training for the golf course till 10pm. My legs are killing me from all the walking so I might just skip the leg day this time around.

Double D · 06-26-2007, 11:15 PM

I really think you need to rethink some of your training. 23 sets for chest alone is overdoing it bigtime. Try to get no more than say 12-15 sets per chest. And as for back I normally like to do a few more sets for back than I did for chest. Something like this:

Chest-12 sets total
Back-14 sets total
Shoulders-6-8 sets
Arms-6 sets (6 for tris and 6 for biceps)
Legs-15 sets

MeatZatk · 06-27-2007, 04:10 PM

the kneeling rope pulls aren't really for my chest (more for the serratus) I just throw them in there as a break before I do my three sets to failure. That knocks it down to 19 which I suppose still seems like a lot. Maybe I'll cut it down to 3x8. I just want to make sure that I'm taxing the muscles enough during each workout.
So I've finished my training for the golf course job. The last two days after I've gotten out of bed I've jumped on the scale and saw eight less pounds each day! I know it's just water weight because I put most of it back on throughout the day, but it was such a shock when I first saw it.

ReproMan · 06-27-2007, 06:43 PM

I agree with DD, I think you could defintely stand to drop a few sets here and there, although you're kicking that workout's ass.

Double D · 06-28-2007, 12:14 PM

Your workouts look good. Your weights are up and you seem to be progressing. I just think you could do the same with a bit less work.

MeatZatk · 06-28-2007, 01:58 PM

Lol, what's the beer game?

MeatZatk · 06-28-2007, 10:37 PM

whoever loses the third game buys the beer in the locker room afterwards. The old guys take advantage of my lack of experience during this crucial match...everytime.

Yeah, tell me about it, when it comes to the beer game, you see 65yr old men diving on the floor and willing to run through walls if it means that you're buying the Bud Ice.

I worked my first loop yesterday on the golf course. The temp was in the mid 80's which doesn't sound too hot, but for western washington, that's getting pretty warm. I got a little burnt and the bag I was carrying was heavier than shit. Bill Gates played the course on Sunday and gave his caddie $20 after the round...20 fucking dollars! They had to call him back down to the clubhouse and have him pay at least the minimun fee which is $35. C'mon, you're worth what, 60 billion? Just thought that was funny.

MeatZatk · 07-12-2007, 10:38 AM

I haven't worked out in way too long...but there's a valid reason. I've got a hemorrhoid. I'm afraid that when I squat or dead lift I'll strain too much and pop it shooting blood out the back of my shorts! I think it'd be fuckin great if a hot chick was walking by and got sprayed with my anal blood. So buying the prep-H was embarrassing, but hopefully it will go away soon enough.

MeatZatk · 07-17-2007, 09:24 AM

Yeah!!! My hemorrhiod is finally gone! Time to get back to work.

ROFL!!!!

I've had a hemorrhoid flare-up before. They fucking suck. Not to mention I was constipated on top of it and I passed stool the size of a fucking cue ball. Talk about a bloody mess, I was fucking freaked out man!! Glad to see that thing has cleared up.
