Gazhole · 10-10-2007, 10:51 AM

Strong pressing, no wonder you didnt do any cardio. Run after all that and youd be bits on the floor :P.

Seriously, looking good

PreMier · 10-11-2007, 10:43 AM

fucking grip! goddamnit. anyway i got my #2 coc last night, and suprisingly i can almost close it. I get it down to about 1/2" or so. man thats fucking hard.. i will be practicing with the #1 today.

squats were really heavy.. my form started to go down the drain after the 2nd set, but whatever.. its my last week for heavy anyway. oh and no cardio.. i was hoping that by cutting out the hiit i would gain some weight.. but NO. I have been eating chocolate and shit too. weight today 186

P-funk · 10-11-2007, 12:15 PM

if your grip is failing that bad on RDLs, you have two options:

1) do cluster sets. So, if you are going for sets of 6 (like you were there), do 3 reps, set the bar down and rest your grip for 15sec, and then do 3 more. Try nad lower your rest between clusters a little bit each week until your grip builds up.

2) Use straps and work your hamstring (that is the goal anyway) and then, when you are done with your RDL sets, load the bar up heavier than your RDL sets and do some static holds for time to work your gip.

Scarface30 · 10-11-2007, 04:01 PM

even with bad grip, those are some good deads! can't imagine them with a better grip!

I train a guy who was a world champion arm wrester and he told me when they would train they would take the COC and squeeze it closed (putting a penny between the two handles). Then, holding it closed you try and do wrist curls with it. I can see how that thing would build your grip like crazy! I can barely get a good wrist curl with the 'trainer!'

I tried that with my little Sporter model. My write started popping.

That's some brutal shit. Thanks for the tip!

im a dumbass.. i was always under the impression that a romanian dead was similar to a traditional deadlift, rather than a SLDL

fuck fuck fuck

i have been doing pretty much traditional deadlifts

I noticed! I'm not surprised that min0 played a hand.

PreMier · 10-14-2007, 10:52 AM

my calves are so fucked up, i can hardly put my legs straight.. i havent been to the gym since thursday, didnt have time to go yesterday. been kinda depressed to, and thats not helping much

DOMS · 10-14-2007, 10:56 AM

What's wrong with your calves?

PreMier · 10-14-2007, 11:36 AM

did a workout called crazy calves. you get an aerobics step, and get on the smith machine.. i used 10lbs on each side. each set consists of:

reps
50 all the way up/down
25 half way up
10 one leg
10 other leg
25 half way down

whats up bro?

hell if anyones depressed lately its me...lets see you top me?

PreMier · 10-15-2007, 10:09 AM

well, a lot of it stems from this girl i like.. she is really LDS and has a very strong faith.. well, im not so LDS. i was raised in the church, but kinda grew away from it. i like who i am.. i feel i have good values and morals.. and dont understand why i need to go to church to show that.

im in salt lake city, and its all about extremes.. you have very extreme LDS people that are all about the church, and then you have all the chicks that go to the bar and sleep around w/ a bunch of people. there doesnt seem to be any inbetween.. i mean there is, but its small.

so basically im at a crossroads.. im 25 now, i want to have a good healthy relationship. this girl has her head on straight, she has direction, and knows where her life is going. she is also into fitness. its like a perfect package except for the religious aspect of it all.. I know life is all about sacrifices, but how much would i need to eventually sacrafice if this did work out? i dunno, i guess im just confused.. so i told her i would read some scriptures with her and maybe go to church..

so im just worried if this isnt who i am, will she stil laccept me, or will she need to move on?

Oh and this is the workout that I will be doing for the next 2 weeks, again thanks to P for the template help.

DB bench 2 sets x 8-12 reps
standing overhead BB 3 sets x 8-12 reps
bench dips 3 sets x 12-15 reps
reverse grip pulldowns 3 sets x 12 reps

deadlift 2 sets x 8-12 reps
leg press 3 sets x 8-12
step up 3 sets x 12-15
calves

bb rows 3 sets x 8-12
CG pulldowns 2 sets x 12-15
prone incline t's 2 sets x 12-15 reps
bb curls 3 sets x 8-12

PreMier · 10-16-2007, 09:51 AM

so here is todays workout.

warmup consisting of walking knee grabs, walking heel to glute, external shoulder rotations, jumping jacks(50).

crunches 40 reps x 2 sets

DB bench
35x10(wu)
60x12
60x12

standing overhead BB (strict form)

95x8

Bench dips

and i can almost close the #2 gripper! i can get it about this close |-|

weight today 186lbs

but i can see some veins in my shoulders now

Scarface30 · 10-16-2007, 02:45 PM

tallcall · 10-18-2007, 12:44 PM

Everything looks good man! How are things going?

PreMier · 10-18-2007, 04:59 PM

good i guess. just have to take life one step at a time. i have come to the realization that first i have to decide where i want to go in life, then i decide who will be going with me. so i need to take life step by step. this always happens to me to.. i find a girl i like, and i fall.. and then i dont date because falling sucks

bet you werent expecting that eh? haha

also i might do this workout for 3 weeks instead of 2(if P doesnt mind). i kinda like the change and doing higher volume.

oaktownboy · 10-19-2007, 03:58 PM
