Gr8 looking work out bro! Your numbers are moving up fast. I agree with every one about blowing chunks on leg day, I personally haven't (yet) but Ive come close a few times.

Delusional · 10-24-2007, 08:59 PM

goob - thanks a lot goob !

yeah id never worked my triceps so hard before, id never even really done a good tricep workout. well i got one today, lol. didnt expect it to be that rough but feels good knowing i pushed through it all and didnt quit. i wasnt sweating, i just started to feel a bit worn out but i kept going just as hard, and eventually my stomach felt upset and i threw up after i tried doing like 3 push ups, bleh. so if i hadnt of tried to do push ups id of never gotten sick. i guess i need to learn when to quit or take a break.

scar - hey bro ! yeah me and my friend were going at it hard today, after i finished my set hed almost immediately begin his, and same with me. we kept a good pace going the entire time. yeah i figured i could go without the push ups for that day, and hopefully next time have the strength to do some. thanks

pre - yeah this was my first time puking while working out, i think it was because i was pushing myself pretty hard, getting a little shaky, and that weird drink i had upsetting my stomach. i hardly ever puke, period. can never even make myself puke. so i hope this doesnt happen again -_-

vort - thank you thank you

appreciate it bro. yeah im happy with it. i think last time i only did 86lbs so im glad i keep adding weight on there and handling it pretty good. i weigh about 128, so if i can bench 100 id be pretty happy with that for now.

jail - whats up bro

! thanks

i know im glad that i havent really gotten stuck that bad yet, definitely enjoying this while it lasts. just hope i can bench 100 soon..

yeah friday is my leg day..man im goin to be pissed if i puke

vortrit · 10-24-2007, 09:29 PM

Yeah, that's pretty good for your weight. My max rep is about what I weigh.

PeteTheGreek · 10-25-2007, 09:27 AM

Don't get caught up in overanalyzing your training and diet. Too many guys waste too much time worried about what they will eat next, write 5 page reports on their diet program or stay up all night wondering whether they should do 15 reps or 16 reps of seated reverse cable crossover rear delt flyes for their next workout. A guy your age only needs to do three things:

Eat
Lift Heavy
Sleep

Stop dicking around with supplements. They are largely a waste of money. Eat often and clean and you'll be fine. Also, get out of your basement and find a gym. If you want to get big fast, put a bar on your back and start squatting heavy. Stick with heavy, compound movements: squat, bench, deadlift, bent over rows, military press, etc. Stay away from cable exercises and machines for now.

You'll make most of your size and strength gains within the next 3-5 years. After that, shit comes to a grinding halt and then you can improvise. Check out my "gear whore training log" to give you an idea of some of the exercises we do. Good Luck!!!

JerseyDevil · 10-25-2007, 10:05 AM

Well said Pete

Delusional · 10-26-2007, 06:55 PM

pete - hey man thanks for stopping by my journal. yeah my diet is okay, not great but not bad. i dont use too many supplements, just the ones that i think almost anyone should use pretty much. yeah i hope to make a lot of gains, ill be staying consistent with my workouts and i have some pretty good routines. thanks for the tips.

Delusional · 10-26-2007, 07:08 PM

Friday 10/26: Legs

[-] Standing Calf Raises: 3x12
[-] Front Squat (ATG): 2x8 @ 80lbs
[-] Back Squat (ATG): 1x8 @ 80lbs
[-] Lunges: 3x8 @ 66lbs
[-] SLDL: 2x10 @ 110lbs
[-] Deadlift: 2x8 @ 110lbs

[-] Workout rating:

8 out of 10

[-] my friend came over to workout too. i was feeling a little weak today for some reason, but the past few days have been a bit rough. i still feel like i started off strong and finished stronger. yeah not huge numbers but i dont have a squat rack at the moment so that does suck. i am getting a bench with a squat rack for christmas though, so just have to hold out until then. i took decent amounts of rest in between sets, i was getting pretty worn out and felt a little sick but didnt stop, so thats good. my legs are pretty weak but workouts like this should help me get them stronger. for once im glad its the weekend. monday is a pull day and im hoping to see some improvements in some of my exercises and get some new PR's maybe

have a good weekend! take care

vortrit · 10-26-2007, 07:29 PM

Maybe not huge numbers, but still a nice looking workout nevertheless.

JailHouse · 10-26-2007, 08:34 PM

Nice #s bro! Every thing looks pretty good, but id move the SLDL, and deads to pull day for sure.

goob · 10-27-2007, 09:50 AM

Good job. I wish I had a squat rack and bench etc.... that would be awesome. So much better not to have the hassle of going to the gym. Home workouts FTW. (Although you'll get better results at the gym)

Scarface30 · 10-27-2007, 12:35 PM

great workout man

a squat rack and bench for Christmas is definitely going to come in handy! might be a tad bit hard to put under the Christmas tree though, huh? lol

Just keep eating and working hard and you'll make it.

Delusional · 10-28-2007, 10:29 AM

vort - thanks vort

yeah ive been eating a lot more lately, thats for sure. im not losing weight anymore so thats definitely good. hoping to weigh around 130 this tuesday.

jail - thanks bro

yeah its funny you say that because while i was doing the deadlifts i started to think "i probably should have done these on pull day.." so i will definitely be switching them over. but as for the SLDL's im not sure, i really really...oh man, realllyyyy feel those in my legs. like theyre one of the most killer exercises for my legs and without them i dont feel like i even did a leg workout. my legs get all shaky and i can barely walk around. since they seem like a big leg workout for me do you think itd be cool to keep them on leg day?

goob - thank you

yeah i like to workout at home, a big reason being because the gyms here are horrible. definitely not worth the 25-30$ a month. im guessing you get better results at a gym because theres a better variety of equipment to use?

scar - thanks bro ! ahahaha yeah, i was joking with my parents about how they would wrap it and where theyd put it. i might actually have to end up chipping in for it, lol. because the one ive been looking at, the store doesnt have. so id have to order it online (this is where it gets ridiculous) the bench itsself is 150$, then you add shipping and handling charges...300$ so wtf? thats like i just bought 2 of the damn benches, heh. kinda pisses me off that i might end up having to get a 150$ bench for 300$...eh oh well.

thanks guys

take care and happy training. hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. (stay out of trouble jail !!

) lol

JailHouse · 10-28-2007, 12:08 PM

To be honest with you Ive NEVER done a SLDL. But from what I understand thats a lower back movement. I'm sure some one will chime in with the answer to that.

PreMier · 10-28-2007, 09:33 PM

deadlifts are a lower body movement, they are a hip, glute dominant exercise. straight leg deadlifts (SLDL) are a hamstring dominant exercise and should also be done on a lower day.

yup, that would be why i feel the way i do after doing them. thanks bro

PreMier · 10-28-2007, 09:53 PM

yea, but also keep deadlifts on lower day if you do them, they are not a pull/back day exercise

well could you just PM me and explain it to me a bit? thatd help more than me reading stickies, cause thats kind of how ive made all my routines.

Delusional · 10-28-2007, 10:01 PM

im goin to go pass out, class in the morning.
but if you don't mind.. PM me about my routine. do you mean just my leg routine, or also my push and pull days? thanks

PreMier · 10-28-2007, 10:06 PM

this is a good read

Delusional · 10-29-2007, 10:42 PM

[-] my friend came over for todays workout. i started off pretty good with the bent over rows and the shrugs. the barbell curls didnt go nearly as well as id hoped and i think i could have done better. and the t-bars werent really too bad, the last set i did fairly fast with good form. new pr's for everything. rest tomorrow, push wednesday ! already looking forward to it. might go for 100 on bench press.

take care guys

vortrit · 10-29-2007, 10:54 PM

Nice workout, but no vertical movements like chins?

vortrit · 10-29-2007, 10:55 PM

Forget that. I saw the pull-ups later.
