DE Bench Speed Decline Bench Press 150 x 3 150 x 3 150 x 3 150 x 3 150 x 3 150 x 3 150 x 3 150 x 3 Standing Military Press 95 x 8 95 x 7 90 x 7 85 x 8 85 x 5 + 75 x 5 CAT100...er..50 Dips 15 12 13 10 Hammer Strength Incline Press 90 x 5 100 x 5 110 x 5 100 x 5 90 x 5 Dropset Nautilus Lateral Raises 100 x 8 85 x 8 70 x 10 55 x 15 Dropset Overhead Machine Pullovers 60 x 8 50 x 4 40 x 8 30 x 8 Summary: I had a good workout tonight despite pushing it back from this morning to after work, to about 9 PM when I finally felt ready to go. I'm really starting to take a liking to this Westside jazz. It's excruciating, it's quick, I feel like I'm getting stronger, and it's been an overall excellent week-plus. I was disappointed about the dips, or lack thereof. I was planning on doing the CAT100's but was dying after hitting only 50 reps and didn't want to die right at the beginning of my workout. ME Deadlift/Squat tomorrow. Diet:

Do you have a dip belt? I know once I got to 12 or more reps I got me a dip belt. Now I couldnt do dips without a dip belt, I could go all day.

The gym I go to doesn't have a dip belt, but I don't want to buy one because at school they have them available for no cost.
I've always done low reps (0-10) or strictly heavy negatives, so I'm not having much of a problem performing bodyweight dips in the 10-20 range. Hopefully I'll be able to hit 5 sets of 20 reps or something of the sort to do those inevitable CAT100's that SaturdayFever promotes. |

I decided to do some bodyweight dips over the winter. I was weighing about 220lbs. I did my bodyweight about 40 times. At that point I said....yep time to get me a dip belt. My last one broke and I went without for a while....

This is true. I tried the whole negative thing, but it just got repetitive.

ME Squat/Deadlift Rack Deadlifts: 135 x 5 185 x 5 225 x 3 255 x 3 285 x 3 315 x 3 345 x 3 375 x 3 405 x 0 T-Bar Rows: 135 x 6 135 x 6 135 x 6 135 x 6 w/ spotter 125 x 4 Superset Single Leg Nautilus Extensions: 125 x 6 140 x 6 155 x 6 170 x 6 125 x 10 Shrugs: 350 x 5 x 6 Hyperextenions: 25 x 10 x 3 Dropset Barbell Curls: 115 x 1 105 x 3 95 x 6 85 x 6 75 x 8 This is last nights workout. My diet was pretty good but I can't remember exactly in order I ate it like I would have had I posted it last night, I was just exhausted afterwards and decided to take it easy. I don't know about the rack deadlifts, I felt alot more hamstrings than I am used to, but that's a good thing. Really hit the t-bar rows hard, haven't done single leg extensions in a while... All and all a good workout. I'll be in the gym for ME Bench tomorrow, although I'm really trying to stretch everything out right now because I'm still a little sore. |

ME Bench Suspended Bench Press: 135 x 5 150 x 3 165 x 3 180 x 3 195 x 2 210 x 1 210 x 1 210 x 1 210 x 1 210 x 1 CG Bench Press: 135 x 6 135 x 6 150 x 6 150 x 6 165 x 5 DB Shoulder Press: 60 x 0 50 x 5 50 x 6 50 x 5 50 x 5 50 x 5 Dropset Hammer Strength Dips: 125 x 6 120 x 6 115 x 6 110 x 6 105 x 6 100 x 6 DB Lateral Raise: 25 x 6 30 x 6 35 x 6 (not that good of reps) 25 x 6 Pec Deck: 140 x 6 160 x 6 180 x 5 200 x 3 I had a fantastic workout this morning. I didn't think I would be able to hit my chest, shoulders, and triceps hard today because I was rather sore yesterday. I ended up stretching every hour and I woke up feeling no strain at all. I tried suspended bench presses for the first time and really liked them. I was disappointed that I couldn't get as much wait as I wanted, but the sets were pretty good. I also did some relatively heavy/interesting close group bench presses. They were similar to a JM Press, another new exercise for me. I was pissed about the DB Presses. I tried 60's and just couldn't do it. I was on 50 two months ago, I thought I'd be up to 60's or 55's by now but I just decided to do 5 sets of 50's for old times sake. All the acccesory exercises were great. I had never gone heavy on the pec deck and today I nailed my chest doing so. Diet:

DE Squat/Deadlift Speed Bench Squats: 175 x 3 x 5 225 x 3 x 3 135 x 3 x 2 Bent Over Dumbbell Rows: 75 x 12 80 x 10 85 x 8 90 x 6 95 x 5 100 x 3 Hip Abductor / Hip Adductor: 100 x 10 / 125 x 10 75 x 15 / 100 x 15 75 x 15 / 100 x 15 75 x 15 / 100 x 15 Dropset Lat Pulldown: 175 x 5 150 x 5 130 x 5 110 x 3 90 x 5 CAT100 Machine Shrugs 180 x 10 140 x 12 100 x 15 90 x 15 75 x 13 50 x 20 Hyperextensions: 35 x 10 35 x 10 35 x 10 Single Arm Dumbbell Preachers: 30 x 10 30 x 8 I had an excellent workout this afternoon. The squats were superb. I searched for a box but just settled on a bench. They're a little lower, but I was still able to do some nice speed squats. I was surprised at how heavy I was able to get with the DB rows. I picked up the 75 pound dumbbell and cranked out 8, then 10, before struggling to 12. I had planned on performing only 5 sets, but I wanted to give that 100 lbs dumbbell a shot. I asked a buddy to help me on the Lat Pulldown Hammer Strength plate loaded machine, those sets were brutal. I also haven't done the Abductor and Adductor machines in a while, so that felt really good as an accessory to my squats. The machine shrugs were pretty cool. I planned on doing dumbbell shrugs, but I saw somebody using the machine they have and I wanted to give them a shot. They were great. The hyperextensions were incredible. I wish I had been doing these all along, it irritates me that I hadn't been doing them in the past. Needless to say, after three sets I'm fried. I threw some bicep work in at the end for shits and giggles... Diet:
Off until Monday. |

After my workout last night I went right to bed so that I'd be ready for my workout before work this morning, so I never got around to posting my journal entry.
I brought my workout journal to work today after my workout in hopes that I'd be able to write them up during my lunch break but I was never around a computer and ended up not having enough time (what else is new?). Did I mention that I left my notebook there? If I can get into work tomorrow sometime I'll pick it up and post, if not, expect three journal entries on Thursday. Fuck. |

I did try Tate Presses which were fun. Everything else was supersetted or something of the sort. |

I don't understand sped bench press if you aren't using something for accomodating resistance. Otherwise you spend half the time decelerating.

ME Squat/Deadlift Platform Deadlifts: 135 x 3 165 x 3 195 x 3 225 x 3 255 x 3 285 x 3 315 x 2 345 x 1 360 x 1 375 x 0 Hack Squats: 200 x 6 x 5 Machine CG Chindowns: 175 x 6 165 x 6 155 x 6 150 x 7 150 x 7 Hyperextenions: 50 x 6 x 3 Tuesday's workout was good. I was able to do real well on the platform deadlifts, and I can almost feel my hamstrings and entire posterior chain getting stronger by the workout. I've also jumped up quite a bit with the Hyperextensions. I've pretty much made them a staple in my workouts. Good workout. Tomorrow I've got a DE Bench day. |

Well, if we can all agree that speed bench is performed as an effort to increase the speed with which one can get the bar off the chest and into a zone where the triceps can take over the lift, then why add acomodating resistance necessarily? I'd almost argue that only the first 4-5" or so are really important anyways.

I've progressed with my bench, my deadlift, and my hyperextensions. I've yet to actually squat heavy on a ME day, I had planned to tomorrow but I scraped the shit out of my knee on Tuesday night and it's been killing me ever since.
I should probably just grow a pair, huh? ![]() |
