This actually looks somewhat similar to a Westside template... the only difference being on your deadlift day you do back/biceps instead of lower back/ham/ab work instead of doing upper back work on your bench days.

I remember you mentioned something like 60% of your goal is for stength and 40% is for hypertrophy... That is pretty much the same with me, and I love using Westside to achieve this.

However, I have noticed that on my upper lower split, I seemed to have more success in the 4-6 rep range for gaining strength than I do with 1RM's.

I have noticed the same thing with my rep ranges. Plus I like doing more reps, I feel like I am accomplishing more.:yes: I'm not a fan of doing 1 rep maxes. I like working up slowly and getting PR's for reps, it brings along some nice hypertrophy as well. I do ME's now and then though.
 
Today's workout -

squats RI 90 seconds
set #1 - 10 reps at 115(warm up)
set #2 - 6 reps at 205 ATG
set #3 - 6 reps at 205 ATG
set #4 - 6 reps at 205 ATG
set #5 - 6 reps at 205 ATG

I felt accomplished after doing these even though it was lighter weight. However ATG kicked my ass, especially that last set.

dumb bell lunges RI 75 seconds
set #1 - 6 reps at x2 60 lbs
set #2 - 6 reps at x2 60 lbs PR

seated leg curls RI 75 seconds
set #1 - 12 reps at 135 lbs
set #2 - 12 reps at 150 lbs
set #3 - 12 reps at 165 lbs PR

well the only time I did leg curls my right calf contracted like mother fucker and left my laying on the ground seeing purple fuzzies and feeling like puking. For some reason these are pretty uncomfortable for me. I started with lighter weight and worked up. But damn, my hamstrings felt raped like never before. My hams have never felt like that after SL/regular deadlifts. I wish I had a glute ham raise station though. :(

smith calf raises RI 60 seconds (pause 3 seconds at bottom/medium concentric/slow eccentric)
set #1 - 15 reps at 115 lbs
set #2 - 15 reps at 115 lbs
set #3 - 15 reps at 115

wow my calves and feet were on fire after these.

Good workout. I did what needed to be done.

static holds work wonders! I had trouble gripping 245 lbs a few months ago but then I started training grip consistantly and it really helped.

I was doing Farmers Walks to improve my grip, but I never got much improvement out of it. What sort of grip training worked best for you?

That suckzorz. I am strategically placing my classes so I can fit in meals and gym time. So far it is working out pretty well.

I would do that also, but I am taking classes that are usually only offered once a year, so I have to take them when I can get them. I was doing great last fall, because my classes and work times fell into place perfectly to allow me to get a good workout between them, but this past spring didn't leave me any time to workout.

The good news is that this fall, I will be getting a grant for the first time, so I can cut my work hours down form 35 to something more reasonable such as 15or so.

I found that doing dumb bell static holds(just picking up and holding the weight not moving) have strengthened my grip the best. I usually do 2-3 sets once a week and hold from 20-30 seconds. For example, say I want to hold them for 30 seconds, I generally have the weight so I can only hold it for 40 seconds, and def. no more than 45. Usually on the last set it comes pretty near or goes to failure. It has really helped though.
Barbell static holds are a different story though, I don't like them as much. I was really suprised how much easier gripping in deadlifting got.

Yeah I have such a wide choice of times and classes because of all my gen. eds. Later in my college career the availability of classes with a time selection is going to dwindle.
 
Well I am just about finishing up stuffing my face before I head down to the old University of Massachusettes for some high quality fun. :nut:

No no no, my younger college friend. You don't go to orientation to get orientated with school; you go to get orientated with the new crop of freshmen girls. :D

"Hi there, do you know anyone at the college yet?" "Let me show you around." ;)

I went to orientation for the first 3 years of my college career, until I changed and started feeling and acting older. Now, I am into older women. They are 10 times better lays than 18 year-olds.

neg neg neg neg.

Last year I started college and dropped out after 2 1/2 weeks because of family shit. So ideally I would be going in as a sophomore this fall semester. Alas, I won't because 2 1/2 weeks doesn't exactly count as 30 credits. :D
 
I had the shittiest diet today I have in like 6 months.

meal one - 2 whole eggs, 3/4 cup egg white, 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup skim milk, table spoon of natural pb, 1 fish oil cap. --- :thumb:

meal two - 4 ounces of cooked chicken, 3/4 cup of whole grain pasta, 1 slice whole grain bread, two fish oil caps. --- :thumb:

meal three - wings with golden barbeque sauce and garlic parmasean --- :(

meal four - 1 pint of 1% milk :laugh:

meal five - 1 protein bar and 1/2 a bag of pita chips :(

meal six(yet to be eaten) - 1 1/2 scoops of casein protein, 1 cup skim milk, and 1 table spoon natural pb --- :thumb:

Actually not that bad when I typed it all out. I didn't drink any soda and had only water. This is just a sad reminder of what college diet is like.
 
As long as it isn't sugar and your eating your meals with good protein i think that it's decent.
 
I got around 190 grams. Not bad at all.
 
It starts out bad .. but once you get used to your campus and know where everything is and hopefully if you have a car (or a friend has one), you can just go to the grocery store.

One of the dining places i go to has a lot of protein, carbs, veggies, and fruit. However, i am only allowed to go there 3 times a day because of the meal plan. So, the other 3 meals i either eat food i have in my dorm room, use cash to buy food at another dining place, or just have a shake.

But i dont know about Umass. My sister is graduating this year and she told me it's a bigggg campus. Good luck.

Hehe, can't be NEARLY as big as OSU.
Click to expand...

I don't know how big Ohio State is but Umass is known nationally as being on of the biggest universities. Over 10,000 students living on campus. I personally don't think it is that big but compared to others it is gigantic.

and a few interesting facts. Umass is home to the tallest library on the planet and if you stand on the top floor you can feel it swaying back and forth. It has it's own police force and station on campus. Also has the 6th rated kinesiology program in the country, which is what I am going into.

Yeah I already had a little taste of it last year. The DC food wasn't really that bad, I like it actually. I won't have a car but there are plenty of buses...and yeah, it is pretty fucking big.
 
This is for OSU....

The Ohio State University Faculty and/or Staff /Students /Students living on Campus Total Number 15,000 47,000 11,000



​
University of Mass. wasn't on there.... Maybe an old list?

Total students at Umass are between 26,000-30,000 I believe.
 
Are you going to transfer to OSU?
 
More than likely... Depends what/when I finally decide I want to study. If not, then it would probably be one of two schools I've been looking at in Florida (for computer animation), Digital Media Arts College, and Full Sail.

Are you looking to go to UF or Miami?
 
lawl, sorry I read that wrong. Where are those two located?
 
Full Sail is around some place called "Winter Park" ... It's not too far from Orlando, maybe 30 mins or so... I don't remember exactly where the other one is, it might be similarly located.
 
Today's workout -

bench press RI 90-120 seconds
set #1 - 12 reps at 45 lbs (warm up)
set #2 - 10 reps at 115 lbs (warm up)
set #3 - 3 reps at 185 lbs
set #4 - 3 reps at 190 lbs
set #5 - 3 reps at 195 lbs
set #6 - 2 reps at 200 lbs PR

incline dumb bell press - RI 90 seconds
set #1 - 5 reps at x2 80 lbsPR
set #2 - 1 rep at x2 80 lbs :confused:

weighted dips - RI 60 seconds
set #1 - 5 reps at bodyweight plus 20 lbs PR
set #2 - 3 reps at bodyweight plus 20 lbs :mad:

cg cable pushdown - RI 75 seconds
set #1 - 12 reps at 120 lbs
set #2 - 12 reps at 125 lbs

Good workout. Low volume but it had to be because I had to let my dad use the car. I didn't know how this workout was going to turn out because I got to the gym after only being awake for an hour and I had a small breakfast because I didn't have time to make/eat alot.

I was very happy with my bench pressing today. I didn't plan on doing that sixth set but 195 for three went up suprisingly easy. (flash back to last week when I only got 195 for a grinding 1 rep when I had a spotter). I decided to go for 200 for 3 but only got two and had the bar stuck on my chest. Lawl, I asked some guy to help me get it up. I didn't really feel that embaressed though. I had the second rep locked out and I was thinking to myself "Rack, or just one more like planned" I held it up for about 3 seconds then let it down and only made a few inches of my chest.

I think the rest of my w/o suffered though because I brought my body to failure on my last bench press set and first incline db set. On my second set of incline db it took me like 6 seconds to get one rep. I was silly. It was feeling some weird pains my chest too which kind of psyched me out. Oh well!
