yea... i was kinda bummed because i couldn't get my deads above 125 today. my legs really were tired. also my grip was suffering from all the pullups, one-armed rows, and seated rows, so the bar was already starting to slip out of my grip. if i went up 10 more pounds i wouldn't have been able to hold it.

time to work on my grip strength, eh?
and yes, my legs are a little more sore today. not looking forward to tomorrow with the aftermath of the deads...

thanks, katt!

my w/o's take me about 45 min. I do at least 60sec RIs since I'm working on upping the weight - that and supersetting makes a bit longer. whenever i start adding in hiits i'll need to start waking up earlier....

zottmans... i've been doing those back since highschool. i just didn't know what they were called BRother Half was the one that enlightened me. thanks bro!

rofl, can you imagine a 5'5'' guy that weighs 170lb? with all those muscles on me i'd look reeaaaallllyy short.
although now that i think of it, i still need to go buy a scale so i can start weighing everyday.

but seriously, i've really been enjoying my trips to the gym lately. the pretty blonde girl that's there in the morning is good motivation too
she reminds me of jamie eason :

i dunno. i need to buy a scale and find out i'll get one tonight/tomorrow. i'm pretty sure i'm gained something (fat or muscle - one of the two) because i can tell my pants fit not quite as loosely as they used to.

thing is i didn't want to start weighing myself obsessively every day right off the bat. i'm not expecting much gain. not until it's been at least a month or two. but we'll see.

i make the mistake of weighing myself every morning that we workout. but i really only pay attention to the weight on friday, after cleaner eating, cardio, and lifting all week.

i think that you would be suprised, at what someone that is 5'5 and a 170 lbs. looks like, besides you cant get any taller, so you might as well get BIGGER

But how is your grip going to catch up if you cheat?

That's why i don't use straps - i mean, my grip is pretty bad but if i used straps it would be so much worse!

Friday - 03.21.08 - Chest

Flat Bench - at the rack
55 x 10 - warm-up w/bar
105 x 10
105 x 10
125 x 10
135 x 3 - stopped here b/c of shoulder

DB Flat Bench Press
30 x 10
30 x 10
30 x 10
30 x 10
sat down at the bench with 35dbs but the extra 5lbs was a huge jump up and given my shoulder i chickened out. probably for the better.

Cable Flys
40 x 10 (20lb each arm)
40 x 10
50 x 10
40 x 10

Diamond Push-ups
20x
17x
8x
i had this weird feeling in my shoulder. it wasn't a twinge in the muscle or joint, but it felt like electricity running down the surface of my right tricep. really weird - not painful but i stopped just in case. anyone one what that might be?

Dips - my fav!
bw x 10
bw x 10
bw x 10
bw x 10

Decline Twist Crunches
10x (each side)
10x
10x
10x

Cable Crunches
70 x 12
60 x 10
60 x 10

mixed feelings about today. i decided to stop using the smith machine on bench presses too. need to start building up stabilizing muscle strength too or i'll have a hard time transitioning from smith to rack. didn't need to come down in weight too much.
i guess i'm getting close to the wall now and will have to really work hard on upping the weight, which is fine. the only thing is that my shoulder will hold me back.

it will be hard - wanting to move forward to put on more mass and up my strength but at the same time not forcing myself to go forward at the risk of hurting my rotator cuff again. frustrated about it but i'm resolved to spend however much time it takes to build up my shoulder strength again.

tomorrow is arms/shoulders day, so i'll start on it then. i'm frustrated but i refuse to be discouraged.

Strong workout today!
Im glad you aren't letting your shoulder discourage you. When do you think you will start upping the weight and lowering the reps?

probably in a month? i need a couple workouts on my shoulder with high reps and lower weight to help strengthen it before i start asking it to do heavier stuff.

Ooh ooh, i get that over my elbows when im doing things like upright rows, it feels dead funny doesnt it? I reckon it's nerves getting pinched, but im not too sure what to do about it.

Don't rush the shoulder mate - its simply not worth it
