Np man. Typically I use oats in place of the breads you see but like I said I was too tired yesterday. I think I'm closer to 4k calories than usual too, but as long as they are relatively clean, I'm stoked.

I don't tend to workout when I have that little sleep. I'm worried that, because I'm so sleep deprived, that I'll blow my form in some spectacular, joint-wrenching, way.

Great job on doing so much with so little sleep!

Yeah I hear ya on that. I'm real cautious in that regard anyway, I never force a rep in that changes my natural cadence. I felt strong, just got tired toward the end of each set.

Thanks man!!

I did a chicken thing for dinner last night too. Two boneless skinless chicken breasts halved, seasoned with lemon-pepper garlic and pepper, then seared. I allowed the chicken to cook for 5 minutes then I dumped a tub of pre-made mild pico de guyo. Cooked that for about 8 minutes, then checked to be sure the chicken was not pink on the inside. Threw in a side of water melon and a baked potato. Fricking outstanding flavor and easy to make.

Looks like you're moving up on them squats there homey. I think that 275 is not gonna be your PR any more for long

Keep this pace and in a month 275 will be your warm up weight

Man, that sounds pretty good. I'll give that one a whirl tomorrow!

You're right, the weights are seriously jumping on the ole squats. Neglected them for far too long, now I'm reaping the benefits. Thanks BC.

They were really that tough? The numbers reminded me of pyramidding bench sets or curl sets.

I always liked pyramids..

I love pyramids, but ya gotta KNOW your limitations when you do them. My last serious injury was from pyramids ... a bicep tear. Didn't even know when I did it that I had torn by bi. I knew pretty quick though and I took me a total of 8 fuggin months to get back from that

. I think it was more me not warming up properly, not stretching properly, all the typical dumbshit ya can do I did

. Of course ... none of youse guys will do none of that kinda dumbshit cuz you're the

of weight training

Scarface30 · 06-30-2007, 07:57 PM

late night + beer = a hellish workout the next day

great job though!

what is meant by the "pyramids" anyway?

AKIRA · 06-30-2007, 11:54 PM

There are different kinds, but in high school it was a bench number (usually 115lbs), but it was made up of a variety of plates.

4 x 2.5s
4 x 5s.
4 x 10s
2 x 25s

Anyway, youd start at 115lbs, do a set of 10, then the 2 guys that are standing on both ends of the barbell would each take 1 plate off, and it starts with the heaviest, 25lbs. Next thing you know youre down to the 2.5s struggling like a bitch, then you do the bar, then pushups.

I used to do them for preacher curls, but when I emptied the curl bar, I went back up .

Not really, that was light weight. When I got on the machine I realized I didn't change the weight so I just did a bunch of reps, then I decided to just run with it. They were just starting to cramp a bit and that was kicking my ass.

, that's for sure. Hell I spent my Friday night playing a damn karaoke game on the PS2. At least I kicked everyone's ass.

A pyramid is doing less reps while you increase the weight done on a given exercise. Some people like working their way back down as well.

Preachers ...

60x8
80x6
100x4
120x2
100x4
80x6
60x8

Scarface30 · 07-01-2007, 08:41 AM

okay, thanks AKIRA and Bonecrusher...that must be 2 different ways of doing the pyramiding, because one is going down in weight while the other is going up..still sounds like a challenge for sure! I'll give that a try sometime. thanks

Eh, its good for a Shock week if youre doing a P/RR/S program. But either way, its a way to break out of a plateau, but you need people to help you.

- stretch

RDL's: (2 min RI's)
45 - 12
135 - 12
225 - 8
315 (w/straps) - 8,8,8

Leg Press: (2 min RI's)
6 plates (total) - 20,20,17 PR

Leg Extensions: (90 sec RI's)
140 - 8,8,8 PR

Felt fucking fantastic today. Probably could have had a few more reps on deads, better safe than sorry though. Leg press was killer, those were true ass kicking 20 reppers for me and that's the most weight I've done on leg extensions also. Still haven't weighed myself in a while but I don't give a shit right now. I'm eating clean, I'm in my caloric zone and I'm getting stronger.

Scarface30 · 07-03-2007, 07:38 AM

nice workout!

definitely better to be safe than sorry with deads!

**Gazhole** · 07-03-2007, 09:10 AM

20 Rep anything is brutal as hell. High reps destroy me, haha.

Awesome going, man!

Also i was meaning to ask, how big is this Repro Graphics company? Because somebody who works in my place all the way over here has just come out of a job with...bing...Repro Graphics.
