remarks
hang cleans - next week i'm going for 5 sets of 90 x 5
arnie press - these felt good today. i can do more weight next week.
weighted chins - today i decided to challenge myself. ended up surprising myself by doing +20 lbs over my bw. even my last set at +15 today was 2.5 lbs heavier than my max last week. today i also met my first goal +20 x 5. goal II: +20 x 5 x 5.
unilateral lat pull-downs - big jump here today too. the pull-down station goes up in 15lb increments, so this was a major step up, plus it didn't give my rotator cuff any trouble either.
calf press - holy crap my calves were dying...
overall - good workout and going to continue to challenge myself like i did today. at the end of my 3 shoulder exercises the front of my delts were absolutely torched.

update: this morning i weighed in at 145 - 10 lbs up from when i started bulking

5 more lbs to go then i'm gonna cut for a month. oh and tomorrow i'm taking the GMAT. wish me luck!

Holy shit, have you been stealing volume from me? Mother of all sweet and holy...

Excellent hang cleans dude. Watch as you put the weight down, I almost fucked my back doing 100 and taking it back down from high position. But your form is probab;y better....

nadirmg · 05-09-2008, 07:03 PM

thanks goob

i was actually wondering about how to let the weight down afterwards.. it seems to pull my shoulders and back forward unless i spend some extra energy to let it down in a controlled manner.

nah, i haven't stolen volume from ya. or maybe i have since you're doing the texas method?

I let it kinda bounce off my quads a bit as I lower the weight.

ok, i'll give that a shot next week

Don't slam it, but you should be able to kinda "bump" it a bit before you put it down. You feeling your forearms come up from these? Trap? Delts?

yea, it's my trapezius that feels like it's getting pulled up and over my shoulders. not painful, but weird.

Built · 05-09-2008, 07:21 PM

It's growing. You just watch.

Good luck with the O lifts. All the people Ive ever seen that are hard core about are pretty chiseled. Vertical day is tomorrow for me, pray for me please..

Hey babe! Hope you're doing well

nadirmg · 05-10-2008, 02:29 PM

aaaaaaaaah ok, so i took the GMAT today. FINALLY it's over.
turns out i got a much better score than i thought i did. and it's 20% higher than the score i got the first time.

we'll see if it's enough to get me accepted AND loads of scholarship money.

Built · 05-10-2008, 05:48 PM

GOOD! Such a great feeling to get these stupid standardized testing things OUT of the damned way. Such a waste of time - but it's gotta be done.

Now go eat. Then lift something heavy. STAT!

Seems like a good idea. I was taking it down in a jerky fast motion putting shitloads of strain on my back. Not good.
