Thread: A penny for my thoughts, now I'm rich

Good shit man, keep the journal alive!

Thanks fufu. The journals keep me honest, so I'm glad to have it back up and running.

5/6

T-Bar Row: 2 plates x 8, 2 plates + 25 lb plate x 8,8,8, 2 plates x 8.
HS Chin down: 2 plates on each side x 8 reps x 5 sets.
DB Rows: 80x8, 8, 8, 8.
Lat Pull: 150x8, 8, 135x8, 8.
Underhand WG T-Bar Row: 25 lb plate x 12, 12, 12.
CG Lat Pull: 75x12, 12, 12.

Sore as hell today, but that's what happens when I have to bump my hamstring/bicep day up a day and ditch the midweek rest.

Good workout, nonetheless.

Also got a 95% on my first final!

I want to continue to post my workouts because I love looking back on these threads. For my own personal use, if you will.

I'm going to take pictures.

I thought he was 12 inches???

Haha. Little 500, my friend.

So what is your current training routine?

I suck.

Had a chest day today:

decline - 205x5, 225x3, 225x3, 225x3, 205x5
hammer strength incline - 275x5, 295x2, 275x4, 275x4, 275x4
db flat bench - 50x10, 10, 10, 10
pec deck - 75x12, 12, 12

my tris were still relatively sore but I was strong nonetheless. It was a good feeling because I had gone on quite the binge the last 2-3 weeks, though I tried my best to maintain order in the gym.

Honestly, just have different days and do what I can. I love it, never had a program fit more into my schedule.

chest, abs
quads, calves
back, abs
shoulders, tris
hamstrings, bis

Usually work out like four times per week, with some weeks only three - like last week, and other weeks being five. I just go with how I feel and plan rest when my life sees fit. For instance, I went to my girlfriends place in Indy yesterday on a whim and decided that I would take yesterday off. It works.

Well if it works it works, sounds good.

However, this journal needs some serious pumping up!

That, it does.

Last Friday's workout:

ATG Squats - 225 x 2 reps x 10 sets
BB Step ups - 95x5x5
Leg Ex - 100x12x3
BB Calf Raises - 135x12x5

all and all, an incredible workout. I'm picky with my legs and though I avoided working out at my school gym for a leg workout all year, I was forced to because my membership at the other place is up and I came away very pleased.

The squats were excellent.

For the step ups, I used the smallest box jump box, which is higher than the two options available for step-ups at my other gym. 95 felt heavy, which was unusual, but having to step up higher was the likely cause.

All and all, really happy about this leg day and look forward to my next one.

Today:

Weighted chins - 90x3, 100x3, 90x3, 90x3, 90x3, 90x3
T bar row - 115 (2 plates and a 25) x 5, 115x5, 105x5, 105x5, 95x5, 95x5
Pull ups - 10, 10, 8, 8
DB Rows - 75x7, 7, 7, 7

I was happy about this workout as well. Besides last week, I haven't done the weighted chins in a while and it felt good to only be so far behind what I had built up to in years past.

Started to fade down the stretch, with a combination of working out in a sweatshirt and my school gym being an absolute sauna.
