Whats up I'M, Ive been here since December and Ive been reading all your journals and I'm finally getting around to starting my own! Ive been training since high school. I was only doing basic things like push ups, situps, and pullups, I also had a EZ-curl bar I would do some stuff with. But Ive learned alot more since finding I'M, I had no idea about compound lifts, leg training, and the importance of diet until that point, and I still have a hole lot left to learn so I'm hoping this will help in doing that.

Right now my split is Mon-Chest/Shoulders/Triceps, Wed-Back/Biceps, Fri-Legs/Abs. Ill be changing to a 5 day a week split some time soon, well see how things go for now. As for the diet, I don't count my cals or any thing but I eat around 5 pretty clean meals a day and get plenty of EFAs. I don't do any cardio right now because I'm trying to gain weight but I do wanna loose some body fat during the process so ill prolly switch things up a bit later.

I am completely open to any suggestions, and thank any body willing to help.

JailHouse

Ill start off with my Friday leg workout! This is my first leg day since coming back from a 2 week break, so I kinda took things easy.

Stretched out for about 5min, then got to work

This was definitely not one of my best work outs, but it felt good to get some blood flowing in my legs again!

goob

Nice Squatage! How do you find front squats as compared to back squats?

JailHouse

Thanks Goob! I like front squats, balancing that weight in the front hits your arms and shoulders nicely.

JailHouse

This morning I woke up around 9am. I ate 5 hardboiled eggs, 2 hole ones and 3 just the whites, and a bowl of cheerios with 2% milk. I Was out of the shower and chugged my 2 scoops of NOxplode by 9:45am. I got to my gym around 10 some thing and got to work.

MON CHEST/SHOULDERS/TRIS

First I stretched out for a few min.

BB MILITARY PRESS (STANDING)
-115X5
-135X5 PR
-135X5
115 felt pretty easy. I had to use my legs a little to get 135 last two reps on the last set, I was determined to get that weight up lol.

DB BENCH PRESS (80LBS PER HAND)
-80X9 PR up 3 reps
-80X8
-80X7

BB CLOSE GRIP BENCH PRESS
-135X5
-135X5

BB INCLINE PRESS (GRIP ON POWER RINGS)
-135X5
-145X5 PR
-145X5
These felt easy, I think I could have reped my BW a few times. Ive only been doing incline for a short time. On the last set I hurt my right side toward my middle back area. It still hurts kinda bad, any one have an idea what that could be?

DB ARNOLD PRESS (STANDING)
-40X5
-45X5
-50X5

EZ-CURL BAR SKULL CRUSHERS
-70X5
-70X5
-70X5

I kept my RIs around 60sec. I stepped on the scale after the work out and I'm at 165.2LBS. I didn't gain any weight like I was hoping, but it looks like I'm starting to lose some of this damn BF. This was a nice work out for me. I hope this side pain is nothing and I can sleep it off.

goob

Good workout. Good DB Presses too. Thats a similar weight to my best, although my DB benching is far better than my BB benching for some bizarre reason.

Solid workout all round.

JailHouse

Thanks alot goob! I'm the same way with db vs bb pressing, for me its being able to dump the weight if it gets to be too much.

JailHouse

I woke up this morning and my back is SORE! This is still from doing that incline bench, I wasn't even going that heavy, and my form was good. I don't know how this could happen Ive never hurt my self lifting. does any one have a idea what this could be?

goob

I don't know, I get bizarre injuries all the time, thankfully most are not at all debillitating and don't slow me down.

See how it is tommorrow, the pain might disappear. In the meantime, a long hot bath will help ease those muscles.

JailHouse

Thats for the info goob! I just popped a oxy and I'm gunna take a warm bath, then head to work. I work construction so today is gunna sux!

JailHouse

Could have prolly added more weight for these but I was just trying to aim for perfect form.

RI 60sec / PWO Weight was 164pds

I drank too much, and had a pretty shitty diet for the past 4 days and this workout showed for it. I didn't have a good enough breakfast this morning and following 2 scoops of NOxplode, so I pretty much wanted to throw up every rep, and felt weak. Oh well thats in the past, time to move on and get focused again.

goob

Good squats! ATG's are tough!

Delusional

sweet, your journal is new from the looks of it so i dont have to worry about catching up ! so far so good dude. like good said, since you did ATG squats thats awesome. ATG squats are pretty tough for me, props on that. looking forward to seeing some more stuff

p.s. holy shit you got some oxys? haha damn, you got it made if youre ever having some pain or soreness. that shit is nuts bro. last time i got my hands on some was when a buddy of mine stole some off his grandma...haha. theyre uhm..definitely..fun..oh yeah..good stuff

p.s.s. i see you take N.O Xplode, what do you think about it? i just finished my first jug of it a couple days ago and i thought it was pretty good. i dont feel insanely pumped and strong with super powers or anything, but i do feel like it helps me stay focused and gives me that little extra push when i need it. do you always use 2 scoops? i started with 2, then after about 2½ weeks i bumped it up to 3. only thing is i started to not enjoy the taste, to the point where it would upset my stomach every now and then. im sure i mixed it in plenty of water, for 2 scoops id use about 11oz, for 3 id use 15-16 oz. if anything i think i was just getting a bit sick of the taste?

Whats up bro, I just started this journal a week or 2 ago so me and you are the journal noobs lol. I got my oxys from a motorcycle accident this past summer, and I still have a lot left. Ive been taking NOxplode for a few months, the pump and energy levels used to be nice but its not as effective as it used to be. I'm thinking of switching to a ECA stack, it seems to be working good for Brutus. Thanks for the comments, I'm lookin forward to your journal!

JailHouse

I ate my breakfast and took my NOxplode and was out the door by 10:30am

goob

Haha, nice one! Good to be of assistance. Great workout, how did you find the tricep pushups? Did you have your hands together in a diamond shape?

JailHouse

Thanks Goob! The first set were diamonds, and the second set I just had my hands str8 out with my thumbs touching those felt like they hit my Tris hard as shit.

goob

Yeah they sure are effective.

Delusional

thats cool that we're almost starting at almost the same time. damn, sucks about the motorcycle accident bro. must have been pretty serious to get you some oxys. yeah i have actually heard others say the same about no xplode. i know others that use it or used it in the past, and they actually recommend to stop taking it for about 2 weeks after youve used it for a few months. have you tried doing 3 scoops? actually, a good friend of mine was starting to say it did nothing for him. so a week later he went out and got BlackPowder by MRI and now hes crazy about the stuff. said it blows no xplode out of the water. anyways,

awesome job on the incline bench dude. i wouldnt doubt you were sweating bullets after that ! also good work on the skull crushers, those are good numbers to me cause i find skull crushers are pretty killer. were you feeling a pretty good burn in your tris after those push ups? i do them now and then and i roll over and want to die afterwards, haha. thats sweet that you did 2 sets of 20 man.

JailHouse

Thanks D! Ya I tried 3 scoops before, but it made me all jittery and shaky not a good feeling for me. Skull crushers are awesome, those are pretty hard for me to, toward the last rep or 2 I was struggling lol. Those tri Push ups gave me a gr8 pump to, I'm prolly gunna throw those in my chest day for a few weeks.

Brutus_G

Thats some nice numbers keep it up buddy!

looking good bro, keep up the good workouts. standing alternating leg curls, eh? hmmm..ive never heard of these, they seem weird. i never thought leg curls would be possible standing, haha.

props on those hack squats too bro, very nice. what did you think about them? did you like them much? were they better than back or front squat? and was it hard to do?
ive thought about trying them but it looks weird and a bit hard to get the form right for them.

Nice journal and nice solid workouts there! I also take the No Xplode, but I have to stop for a couple weeks, then I change it up to a different pwo drink. It seems to help.

JailHouse

Brutus- Thanks B. Now I feel like ATG is the only way to go!

Del- The leg curls were done with a machine at my gym. Curls are nice cuz they hit ur hamstrings and calves nicely. Hack Squats are nice to switch things up, they also kinda give you more control on the machine.

katt- Thanks Katt! the NOxplode isn't doing much for me any more but I still cant work out with out it lol, I think its a mental thing. What are you taking now. All these supps are making me broke, GNC is a Rip off.

Jailhouse Journal

katt

I NEVER buy at GNC,, yest they are a rip off. I get all my supps at dpsnutrition.com no Xplode is 35.99 (I think) for a big jug.

My husband takes Gaspari's Super Pump, that's his fav and my other favorite is Labradas Super charge.. kinda tastes like grape koolaide.

All in all, they are all expensive

JailHouse

I tryed going to that web site and nothing came up. I have the big tub of NO from GNC and I payed 90$$

Holy Shit! 90.00???
