Im in Denver.
Nothing fancy here I've taken a program from Thibauadeau, TMUSCLE.com | 3 Ways to Get Big! , and changed the split. I am going Back/Chest/Tricep and Legs/Shoulders/Tris, 1 day on 1 day off, and am doing Cardio in the AM. I am currently trying to work around a herniated disc at the L-5 S1 level, it's taken me a while to figure out what work and what doesn't, but with the help of some good people around here I've made some nice headway. |

Chest/Back/Bi 5-11-09
4 sets BB BP (3-5 reps) 2 min RI 4/185, 4/185, 4/185, 3/205, 2/185 Incline DB Press 4 sets (8-10) reps 90 RI 8/60, 8/55, 8/55, 7/55 Flyes Cable Seated 4 sets (10-12 reps) 60RI 12/60, 12/60, 11/60, 11/60 Weighted pull-ups 5sets (3-5 reps) 2 RI 4/25, 5/BW, 5/BW, 5/BW, 5BW One Arm Cable Row 4 sets (8-10 reps) 90RI 10/90 8/100 8/110 8/100 Cable Cross-Overs (Rear Deltoid) 10/40 10/40 10/50 10/50 (too light) Straight Arm Pull downs 4 (12-15) 60RI 12/100, 12/100, 12/100, 12/100 BB Curl 4 sets (3-5)2 min RI 5/85 4/85 3/85 2/85 Incline DB curl 3 sets (8-10 reps) 90 RI 8/30, 8/30, 6/30 Low Cable Curl 3 sets (12-15 reps) 60 RI 12/80, 12/70, 12/70 This workout took longer than I like, about 2 hours, and I have to say it was a mistake to move through the entire body group in sequence. By the time I got to my weighted pulls I was already feeling fatigued. Moving forward I think it would be better to move through the primary mucle groups, alternating between chest/back shoulders/legs, in the strength rep range and constant tension sequence. Then roll through the arms in sequence. |

You'll find the right balance. Thibaudeau is the bomb.

I've lost one of my journal pages from May 13th legs/shoulders/tri I will post as soon as I find it.
Here is the Chest/Back/Bi of May 15 Chest Back Bi 4 sets BB BP (3-5 reps) 2 min RI 4/195, 4/195, 3/195 (failure on 4), 4/185 (failure on 5) No spotter as usual so failure is always fun, I get to do a quasi-shrug Chins weighted (3-5 reps) 2 min RI 5/45 4/60 2/75 (failure on third) Wide Grip Pull ups wieghted (3-5) 2 min RI 5/35 4/35 DB incline 4X(8-10) 90RI 10/60, 10/60, 8/60, 7/60 Single Arm Cable Row 4X(8-10) 90RI 10/110, 10/110, 9/120, 9/120 Cable Flyes 4X(12-15) 60RI 12/60, 12/60, 12/60, 12/60 BB Curl 3X(3-5) 2RI 3/95, 3/95, 3/95 Straight Bar Lat Push Down 4X(12-15) 60RI 12/60, 12/60, 12,60, 12/60 Honestly I hated this lift. It's using the x-cable, but imagine it as the lat push push dow with the lat pull down bar. I will be subbing in x-cable rear ext again. I would also be all ears for any other exersise apt for constant tension on back. Hammer Curls DB 3(8-10) 90RI 40/8, 37.5/8, 35/8 (had to drop weight each time to maintain form, I have weak arms) Low Cable Pulley Curls 3X(12-15) 60 RI 12/70 12/70 12/70 I'm glad I alternated body groups in moving through the sequence. |

Constant tension for back, do you have a station with side-by-side cables, or a hammerstrength lat machine? If you do, try single-arm lat pulldowns, alternating arms like you're crawling up a wall.
Another alternative you might like is lying pullovers, using a dumbbell, barbell or cables. You basically position yourself like you would for skullcrushers, but you keep your arms straighter and lower the weight over your head and then back up. You work tris with this too, but you minimize it if you avoid arm flexion. Some don't like this movement because of their RC, you do NOT go heavy and try to use this one as a mass builder.

100 lbs would be too much for ME lol!
Heavy in this context means "don't try for your one-rep max" - this is not a mass-builder like heavy chins.

I have read a few of his articles, but not a lot.
I tend to take one author at a time, work through all of their stuff and make notes about what I like. Ive ready every article on lyle's website, all of Gazholes, all of yours, the majority of P-funks(some dont apply to me) ect. Im about 80% of the way through Berardi's stuff atm, ill move onto Thibaudeau next. |

where in Denver? I'm from the 'Springs. Am in the desert right now. When I get back to the world, am either moving to the Lone Tree area...or headed to Phoenix...
Nice back strength.

Chest/Back/Bi
05-20-2009 Weighted Wide Grip Pull Ups 2min RI 5/45, 4/45, 4/45, 4/45 BP BB 2min RI 2/205 (haha got a bit cocky. failure on 3), 4/185 (failure on 5), 4/185, 3/185 (failure on 4) Single Arm Cable Row 90RI 10/120, 10/120, 10/120, 10/120 Close Grip Incline DB Press 10/55, 9/55, 10/50, 10/50 Hammer Curls DB 90RI 10/35, 10/35, 10/32.5 Cable Ext.

I feel like I'm not really working my arms at all, and they are bar far my weakest link, although everything is pretty weak. |

Hey hey.
Tired today. Woke-up feeling tired, though I did sleep about 8 hours. I took in a pretty fair amount of fat today. As my third meal I had a Breakfast burrito from Le Peep. Chicken Egg whites, potatoes, refried beans, and two sunnyside eggs on top. I'm a little sore in the shoulders/lats/arms. Cardio today: 2.5 miles. First mile at 7:35, the rest was split at 6:00 minute pace as long as I could go then walking until my heart rate dropped back to 120. |

Rooster-
How 'bout this for an idea on your arms. I see that for tris you did a rope extension and bis you did a hammer curl. You mentioned that you think your arms are small. How 'bout switch up to a more primary exercises. Bis: BB curls? Tris: close grip BP or skull crushers? Unless I didn't see the other exercises, you did rope exts and hammers. Both are fine, but more of a finishing exercise? Not really a mass builder. Hope not to bother you abouut asking questions on home...but I'm really missing being home right about now...and its gonna be another year before I step back into Colorado. There are mountains here...but I can only look at them from afar...

Thanks for the suggestions, and coming to take a peek at my journal in general. I do use CG bench Press, and some days I get in BB curls. I think the problem for me is that adding in bi/tris with two other large muscle groups is that I find myself burned out and gased by the time I get to them. I alway do them at the end, after the chest/back or shoulder/legs, and I find I just don't have much intesity left. |
