Let's talk about Feelings

Damn, I had to scroll up a while to find a workout.

Doing Westside? Cool.

I will be tracking this journal and seeing how it turns out. Good luck.

Thanks.

Now that I'm back to eating mass quantities of food, I don't see why I shouldn't try to add some strength.

HPOA = Hot piece of ass (huh-po-wa)

Pretty happy with today's workout. Haven't front pressed heavy in a long while, and I'm only a few reps from a PR already. It's only day 2 of this routine and I'm already loving it. My shoulder warmed up today and I had little to no pain for the workout, so that's good too. People were giving me weird looks while I was doing the speed bench, so I just gave them a look like I knew something they didn't .

A few chicks that used to workout at my first gym have joined this gym. All I can say is HPOA. The one tall blonde chick has what I like to call a "breezeway." She wears spandex and you can see right through her legs at the crotch. Leaves little to the imagination. Love it.

30 seconds or less on the speed bench! This is crucial. Also I would drop the yates row and do some DB rows, they are badass for this program! I am happy to see some westside though! Its a badass program.

30 sec or less of rest? I thought 60 was high too, but I havent looked at westisde in months.

 

[Double D]

For any kind of speed work its 30 or less.

Every template that I have found on the internet says 45-90 seconds. Any links? Plus the template I'm using calls for my to row 4 days a week, I'm running out of options!

 

[AKIRA]

I found the Big Mike's template and see that it says to do 1 minute of rest. "8-10 sets,...3 reps,...1 minute rest" Its off of bodybuilding.com. I cant click on any other sites.

Oh and FYI, I'm thinking at least a week to recoop my knee.

Fucking axe kick.

Check the thread I have here in training theres been tons of things posted on it. But think about this: You are doing SPEED work, so speed being the key word. Theres nothing hard or exhausting about it. Go to the actual westside website, there are all kinds of templates on this, but everywhere I have ever read says 30 or less.

 

[Double D]

I just went to westside and it said around 45 seconds rest. So 45 looks good, but I have read multiple times under 30, but dont ask me where.

Where?

 

[fufu]

I don't know alot about westside(well, a decent amount), but I remember watching a video by the westside guys. When they did speed benching two guys just basically went back to back on sets, not stopping, the changing of the weights and setting up for the benching took about 30 seconds. Plus I think I remember them saying to take 30 secs between sets.

 

[Double D]

Its totally different everywhere you go, but since it says speed bench I would say just go as fast as possible.

 

[AKIRA]

I found your thread and posts #44 & #48 from Andalite talka bout rests.

45-90 sec in #44.
1 minute in #48.

 

[Double D]

Yeah dude its totally different all over the net! I would love to ask Louie myself. Seems like the ri's are f-ed up all over the place. I say 30-45.

Knee Update

Haven't been working out due to a minor knee injury, should be back in it to win it next week. I can't seem to shake the injury bug.

 

[fufu]

lawl, nice avatar.

What happened to the knee?

Heh, thanks. That's me arriving late to a spring training game because I left my ticket at home.

I've had a bum knee since I was 16 and if I put the wrong kind of torque on it, I'm flat on my ass.

Needless to say, I was hopped up on a turbo iced coffee and thought it was a good idea to prove that I can kick our TV that's mounted in the corner above my head. I was successful with my right leg, but when I did it with my left leg I popped my knee out and well, ended up on my ass. It's about 90% as of this morning.

 

[fufu]

lawl, that blows. But hey, what's all this training worth if you can't use it in everyday situations like kicking a TV?

Doesn't sound too bad, time off can always be good too.

ROFL!!

His "caveman" picture was actually the inspiration for my beard. It's only a few weeks old, but I'm a hairy bastard, I'm sure I'll catch up quick!

 

[Double D]

Haha....Yeah I know the feeling I grow a beard in no time flat. I cant stand it though, always shaved!

 

[Gazhole]

Dammit, i wish i could grow a beard

Shaving every day when you don't want the beard sucks though...

One day ill hit puberty and ill know where you're coming from.

Ok, where are the stats! Didnt you return to the gym yesterday?

I was on my feet all day yesterday and my knee was killing me.

I have full ROM, and little discomfort when actually using my knee, but I'm better off playing it safe. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be set.

Tonight I get to play with my new mobile broadband card...

 

[AKIRA]

What is the plan for tomorrow? Youre still doing Westside right? So I assume some leg work is inevitable.

Hell yeah, I loved westside for the 2 days I did it.

I'll probably start from scratch again with ME Squats, can't hurt to hit my weakness again....
