Honestly, I'm honored to have this argument of two of the more knowledgeable posters on this board in my journal. Definitely reading over both of your guys points, I'll dissect when I'm done pooping, showering, eating, etc. because I'd love to chime in here.

Lol.. well I don't know that I'd call it an argument. I'd like to think we all are just aiming to learn. I don't know that I deserve any titles so much as most knowledgeable poster either! Haha.. it feels like a lifetime since I've posted here.. and back then I think I spent alot more time posting than actually learning and experiencing! I do research and try alot these days, but I don't think of myself as a pro or guru in any area.. just want to know as much as I can.

soxmuscle · 07-18-2007, 09:43 PM

I shouldn't have said argument, but either way I'm learning because of it.

Thanks guys.

ME Squat/Deadlift, 7.17.07

Box Squats: 135x8, 165x3, 195x3, 210x3, 225x3, 240x3, 255x3, 270x2, 285x1, 300x1, 315x0.

Rack Deadlifts: 325x5x5

T-Bar Rows: 100x6, 125x6, 150x5, 175x2, 125x6

Shrugs: 350x6x5

Hyperextensions: 65x6, 75x5, 85x5

Summary:

My workout last night was incredible. I'm ridiculously sore today and it may be because I haven't hit my legs that hard in a few weeks, but it could also be because how intense my day was. The only thing I'd change was going up so little in squats. I've been able to hit 315 in the past and missed it here because I was performing to many sets.

soxmuscle · 07-18-2007, 09:49 PM

Rest, 7.18.07

- 15 minutes interval training on treadmill

Waking up early tomorrow morning (5AM) to get a workout in before my 9AM court date. Night fellas.

Double D · 07-18-2007, 09:51 PM

Nice workout....it makes me miss westside everytime I read it!

Pylon · 07-18-2007, 10:00 PM

Looks like there's some great progress in here SM!

These Westside workouts that M.J.H. had been performing are right up my alley. Before the change, I was craving Monday and Tuesday for my back and chest days, but then loathed the rest of the week for multiple reasons.

With the variety in each workout, being able to perform reps (DE) as well as hitting max weights (ME)... It's just an all around great program, and I'm excited to continue reading some of the links that Drew and SF gave me.

I can't imagine the above will make you miss Westside any less.. Sorry..

Progress? Some, but not enough. Why else would I be awake at 5:30 in the morning? Ugh... Gym here I come!

I believe the word you are looking for is "debate". In any case, the information being presented is excellent.

katt · 07-19-2007, 07:58 AM

I'm awake at 4:15...

But it's good to get there and get it over with

The only problem with me getting up at 5 is that I don't go to bed any earlier than I would if I was getting up at 8. Last night I fell asleep around midnight, which was nice, but I'm going to try and work on even earlier.

BTW, 4:15 is insanity. Honestly, what is wrong with you?

It makes me angry to think that I was doing regular bodybuilding routines on and off for the last few years.

It's true though. For the rest of my life, I may switch here and there to try out something new, but I honestly see myself continuing in this style for years to come.

Thanks for coming.

ME Bench, 7.19.07

Bench Press: 135x6, 150x3, 165x3, 180x3, 195x3, 210x2, 225x1, 235x⅓.

Incline DB Press: 50x5, 55x5, 60x5, 65x5, 75x2.

DB Lateral Raise: 20x8, 25x7, 30x6, 35x6, 40x4.

CG Bench Press: 135x6x5

Summary:

I was afraid that my overall soreness would hinder my workout this morning and for the most part I was right. I'm not going to say it was a bad workout, but I think I did too much volume on Monday's workout, which I've already taken a mental note of. I can't complain about today's workout though, afterall I finished smelling like a turd, covered in sweat, and was being looked at by the morning crowd as if I had a "God Hates Fags" t-shirt on. Did I mention that work sucks?

katt · 07-19-2007, 09:08 AM

ok dude.... if I can't count 1/2,,, then you can't count 1/2......

That would be a ⅓ (one-third), hunny bunny. But point taken, I failed on 235.

katt · 07-19-2007, 09:11 AM

Shit - and I even have my contacts in...... sorry

No need to apologize, I've come to expect that out of women. They are inferior to me.

P.S: I'm seriously joking about the above, just in case you didn't know my humor.

katt · 07-19-2007, 09:13 AM

humor is all good

Don't think of that time as a waste. It's what us older people call "experience".

It will give you something to compare other types of workouts to. Also, over time, your priorities may change, so it's good to experiment. Hell, even the great P-funk dabbled in body-building for a while before he decided that he didn't want to pursue that aspect. Fear not sox, you're doing quite well.

Thanks, TT. If only you weren't a Yankees fan...
