Awesome workout Scar! Especially the bent rows, 155 is kick ass, way better than my best efforts!

Let me know how you do when you get to bent presses, and bulgarian squats. The bent presses take a lot of balance, but even a small weight works you in other ways.

PreMier lol. thanks man!

Delusional thanks bud, I had a pretty decent sweat on that's for sure.

goob thanks goob. I was surprised with the 155, because my PR is around 165, so it hasn't gone down much from the summer.

Sam yeah, they were pretty hard. my biceps are still paining me a little bit today yet. thanks! I'll make sure I read the question next time, I'm still happy though because I am pretty sure everything else on the midterm went very well

Witch thanks man, I have been progressing a bit, but my diet lately is what is keeping me back. how have you been?

vortrit thanks dude. yeah that was a trial run for part of my new routine, I didn't get to the gym yesterday because I had stuff to do, and I had a field trip today.

I'm doing pretty good. Still suffering from mono, but way less intense. I'm slowly easing back into training, just warm-ups and stretching for the most part.

sucks you're still sick, but good that it's not as bad. mono is some tough shit to kick, that is for damn sure!

10-23-'07
Upper A - Damn that fucker in the grey shirt!

Bench Press RI 120
Bar x/10
1x135/4
1x145/4
1x155/4
2x160/3,2

A) Standing OH BB Press
3x60/10,8,6
B) Dips RI 75
3xBW/9,7,6

A) Incline Bench Press
1x105/9
1x95/5
B) Pushups RI 75
2xBW/10,8

A) Cable Chops
2x65/8,8
B) Bent Press RI 60
2x15/8,8

stretched.
walked to and from school 15 minutes each way.

so 2 things made me mad today. FIRST I was no where near my goal of 3 sets of incline with 10-8-6 reps, even with only 95lbs, conclusion - switch the heavy bent over rows from Upper B, with the heavy bench on Upper A, because the heavy bench just taxed me for the rest of the workout. does that sound decent to you guys?

SECOND - my last set of incline, which would have been a third set but I didn't put it in because it was just weak, I lowered the bar and just lost concentration and strength and dropped it on my chest. there was this stupid fucking idiot on a machine in front of me who saw me, because I looked right at him, that just sat there and let me struggle with it!! like what the fuck you stupid dip-shit?! whenever I see someone who's struggling like that I rush over to help because it can get rather dangerous. I seriously felt like kicking his ass after, I know that's a little extreme but I was pissed. same guy I see there a lot that whenever he walks by me he just gives me this look like "what the hell are you looking at?" - that's my rant for the day.

other then that, it was a good workout, but changing the heavy bench with the rows.

keep the routine the same.. heavy bench first, then use DB's on incline next time so this doesnt happen.. really looking at this though, i think you are doing too much volume, but thats just me

Nice looking workouts. A lot of the time I will rotate Barbell and Dumbbell for Incline and flat.

For example.

Barbell Bench
Dumbbell Incline Bench

then next time

Dumbbell Flat Bench
Barbell Incline Bench.

You get the idea, but that's just me, and I have not been real good about it lately.

PreMier great idea man, I'll do that next time, thanks! I find I need to dish myself a little more volume. early this year I was doing a lower, but high rep (8-10) volume and it didn't really do much. I'm trying to get some metabolic work and at the same time, work for some hypertrophy. I'll keep that in the back of my mind though for sure.

vortrit thanks man. I'll keep that in mind too, although I'm a strict routine guy that doesn't like to change things around each week too much. thanks though, it is a really good idea

goob thanks! I have to say I really liked the bent presses, I felt it a lot in my shoulder, but also good balance is a definite key.

Glad to hear you enjoyed them scar. I dare say you could probably go heavier than 15lb's on them, but don't push it, as you can probably tell, they could be potentially destructive.

Wow - the Bent Press looks sooooooo cool! Might have to practice that one before trying it in the gym though!

hmmm... that's really a different move.. I think I may have to try that one also...

The bending down part looks a little hard.. kind of like it would hurt.

It's not as bad as you think, bizzarely, it was the top of my leading legs glute that gave me problems, due to the stretch. Other wise I've not hurt myself at all doing them yet (touch wood...).

Great movement, hits shoulders, lats, obliques, triceps.......a little bit dangerous though, use DB's to start.

Perhaps a 50 lb dumbbell dropped on his foot would make him see the error of his ways?

goob thanks spotting me on that link! looks like you might have started something here with the bent presses, eh?

Sam, katt it's definitely worth trying for sure! I liked it a lot, everything felt decent, but I can see what goob meant when he said it could go bad!

Triple yeah I'm sure he wouldn't think twice about not helping me, or anyone else for that matter, again! lol

so today was supposed to be Lower A, but I have just been so damn busy with school work this week, it's crazy! 3 labs, 2 midterms this week, and a major mapping project due next week, the gym might have to take a back seat to those things for a while.

I was mostly talking about second day loading stuff planned into your routine. As long as your comfortable with what your doing, and getting results, it don't really matter though.

Hey Scar - school comes first, then workouts. There's nothing worse than trying to rush a training session because you're trying to get home to work. I know, i've been there!

Sam yeah it sucks eh? usually what happens with me is that I don't rush my workout, and then I am crammed for time with studying lol. either way it doesn't turn out well. there is ultimate frisbee tonight and I want to play so bad, but I have my last midterm tomorrow decisions! decisions!

I more than likely wont go, even though I want to, and everyone was like "come on..come out to frisbee tonight"

Pylon yeah, it also paid off dividends on the exam too! go figure, eh?

10-27-'07
Lower A - Midterms are over, so let the ghouls come out to play!

Back Squats RI 120
1x135/4
1x155/4
1x165/4
1x170/4
1x175/4*PR

these felt very good today! I need to go up in weight where as the 175x4 was not as hard as I was expecting. very pleased with that!

A) Lunges
3xBW+40/9,7,7
B) Bent-knee Good Mornings RI 60
3xbar/9,10,9

the good mornings really hurt the back. nothing like having a bar resting right on your spine! also, that would technically be a PR because it was the first time I have ever really done them.

A) Calf Press
3x315/10,10,10
B Planks RI 45
3xBW/55sec, 55sec, 60sec

forgot to stretch.
walked to and from the gym - 15 minutes each way.

all in all I am very happy with that workout, even though it doesn't look like much I was sweating bullets!

Nice workout. Congratulations on you PR.

They have pads I use at the gym to put on my bar for good mornings, so I never just put the bare bar right onto my back.

Try experimenting with different bar positions. It shouldn't be hurting your back.

And good job on the PRs, too.

I always hold the bar with my hands fairly close together so that my traps take most of the bar so it doesnt actually bounce of my spine.

Still an awesome workout though dude, congrats on the PR!
