April 13th workout:

Pre-workout weight 242.2 lbs.

Had my chest/delts/abs workout of Rep Range in P/RR/S yesterday. I'm feeling pretty good overall, however I've had some problems with energy as of late. I consumed more carbs yesterday just to see what effect that may have. Even though I've struggled with energy, my strentgh continues to increase. I had a really good pump after this workout and had a couple of guys in the locker room afterwards comment on my size and definition.

- Incline dumbell press...3 x 8, 80 lbs. (10 lb increase, and could have done 85 lbs.)
- Bench press...3 x 8, 245 lbs. (20 lb increase. Felt really good after this so I loaded 265 lbs and ripped off 3 reps for the heck of it.)
- Flye...3 x 12, 55 lbs. (5 lb increase.)
- OLY bar single arm corner press...3 x 8, 70 lbs of plates and the bar on an angle.
- Bent lateral...3 x 10, 45 lbs. (10 lb increase.)
- Cable side lateral...2 x 12 (20 lbs., same)

My daughter had a National Honor Society banquet last night, so I did not have as much time in the gym as I normally do. I worked through this session quickly. I finished in under an hour and was sucking wind by the time I was done.

I feel much better today in regards to energy. I had a great night of sleep and my back is finally over the DOMS that I was experiencing from last week's back workout. I continue on 600mg/day of 1-Andro Rx with absolutely no side effects! Appetite is strong.

Consumed:
Calories 2500
Fat 82 grams, 32%
Carbs 213.7 grams, 36%
Protein 182.2 grams, 32%

I know my protein is too low! I will try to do better.

Talk with you again tomorrow!

Progress is looking great, carrying less weight while lifting more!!!

April 15th workout:

Pre-workout body weight 241.6 lbs.

Obligations tonight, Daughter's tennis match, Son's little league practice, and another tennis match tomorrow night caused a drastic change in my week's gym schedule. I decided to double up on workouts last night, Legs and Back of this week's Rep Range in P/RR/S.

Once again I will list weight used Last Time (LT) and weight Accomplished (A) this time.

Legs

- Leg extension...2 x 10, (LT) 110 lbs. / (A) 130 lbs.
- Squats...3 x 10, (LT) did leg presses w/ 388 lbs. / (A) 225 lbs with squats
- Single leg press...3 x 12, (LT) 130 lbs. / (A) 208 lbs.
- Stiff Dead lift...3 x 10, (LT) 225 lbs. / (A) 225 lbs.
- Seated single leg curl...(LT) 70 lbs. / (A) 90 lbs.

Back

- CG weighted chin...3 x 8, (LT) body weight / (A) body weight
- WG T-Bar row...3 x 8, (LT) 170 lbs. / (A) 180 lbs.
- Dumbell row...3 x 12, (LT) 90 lbs. / (A) 90 lbs.
- Pullover...2 x 15, (LT) 60 lbs / (A) 70 lbs.
- CG Lat pulldown...2 x 12, (LT) 140 lbs. / (A) 160 lbs.
- Abs

I usually never double up like this, but the circumstances dictated it and although I was in the gym from 5:30 to 7:30 pm the workout went very well. The weather finally broke and it was sunny and warm so I guess everyone was enjoying the outside because for the last hour I was the only person in the gym.

My stomach continues to shrink and tighten up. I'm still on 600mg/day of 1-Andro Rx and the effects are very visible. The owner of the gym talked to me yesterday and wanted to know what I was doing to achieve my look. I told her, besides working my ass off in the gym, Rob's PH has definitely been the difference. I'm doing everything exactly the same as before the PH with the 1-Andro Rx being the only differing factor.

I have 1 week to go before starting my PCT, so I'm busting my butt because I know the 'after pic' is arriving shortly.

Consumed
Calories 2,829
Fat 64.5 grams, 23%
Carbs 217.2 grams, 35%
Protein 266.8 grams, 42%

I'm going to try and sneak my arm workout in sometime over the weekend!

Until next time!

April 18th workout:

Pre-workout body weight 242.3 lbs.

I believe I've stated this before, but I really do not like my isolation days in the gym. I had my Arms day of Rep Range in my P/RR/S routine over the weekend. It was a beautiful day out and there was absolutely no one in the gym, so it was very relaxed and tranquil. I had a very good workout, was focused and felt strong. In this post I'm going to post the routine that I used a few weeks ago, followed by my routine I used this past Saturday. In using P/RR/S I really try to keep to the splits that Eric has outlined, however I do like to switch some of the movements up.

Routine Last Time:

- Alternating dumbell curl...3 x 8, 40 lbs.
- Single Arm cable curl...2 x 10, 25 lbs. (I perform these very slowly)
- Concentration curl...2 x 12, 20 lbs.
- Weighted dip...3 x 8, body weight (done slowly)
- Pushdown...3 x 10, 70 lbs.
- Kickback...2 x 12, 40 lbs.

Routine This Time:

- Alternating seated incline DB curl...3 x 8, 45 lbs.
- Cable curl...3 x 10, 130 lbs.
- Concentration curl...3 x 12, 25 lbs.
- Weighted dip...3 x 8, body weight + 45 lbs.
- CG bench...2 x 8, 225 lbs.
- Reverse grip pushdown...2 x 8, 60 lbs.
- Rope pushdown...2 x 8, 75 lbs.

Even though I'm getting stronger, my back/chest are growing, and I'm definitely getting more defined, I believe my arms have shrunk just a bit during this cutting cycle. It's all good though because I continue to get compliments regarding how fit I'm looking and my entire body just feels rock hard!

My wife and I are currently separated so I was was sitting alone in my lazy-boy Saturday night watching the NBA playoffs when a Dairy Queen commercial comes on. I slip some shorts on, slide my feet into some flip flops and head down the road. I treated myself to a large banana split blizzard! That's absolutely the first time I've been through a fast food drive through in 5 months and man was it good!!!!!

Still on 600mgs/day 1-Andro Rx and have my Chest/Delts/Abs tonight of my Shock week in P/RR/S.

Talk to you tomorrow!

 

[highpockets]

April 20th workout:

Pre-workout body weight: 239.8 lbs. Hey Hey, broke the 240 lb barrier!!!!

Last week of 1-Andro Rx and upped my dosage to 800mg/day.

This is my second 3 week session of a 9 week cycle of Eric's (Gopro) Power/Rep Range/Shock (P/RR/S) routine. I'm on week 6 and started the DREADED Shock week. If you haven't tried P/RR/S you may not fully understand what I'm about to say unless you train 'balls to the walls'. One of the goals in P/RR/S is to add a little weight or an extra rep or two each week in each exercise. It may be my age I don't know, but this is easier said than done! I've done a fair job in doing this during this thread, until last night!

During the sadistic ritual of Shock week , you are set up for super sets and drop sets with recovery time only being respiratory recovery (whenever I stop sucking wind). I love P/RR/S, but Eric must have been in a foul mood when he thought this up. Last night I must have hit a wall or something, because it took everything I had to get some of these reps in as lactic acid shot out of my eyeballs! I didn't get to sleep until 4:00am because my shoulders were so gassed I couldn't lay on my side.

Chest

- Superset...cable crossover (45 lbs.)/incline barbell press (185 lbs)...2 x 10 reps each
- Superset...incline flys (45 lbs.)/dips (body weight +35 lbs.)...2 X 10 each
-Dropset....BB bench press...2 x 10, drop 8, drop 8...(first set 205, 185, 135; second set 205, 155, 135)

When finishing on my final set of bench pressing, the 135 lbs. didn't really feel that heavy, it's just that there was so much lactic acid (I guess) flooding my muscles, the muscles just didn't want to cooperate so I did need just a bit of assistance on my final two reps.

Shoulders

- Superset...seated side lateral (25 lbs.)/Arnie presses (40 lbs.)...2 x 10 each
- Superset...reverse peck deck (140 lbs.)/WG upright cable row (75 lbs.)...2 x 10 each
- Cable front raise dropset...2 x 10, drop 10, drop 10...(15, 10, 5)

O.K., the final set of cable front raises I thought I was going to pass out. I don't know what hit me, maybe it's just that I've really been pushing trying to get the most out of this cycle, but 5 lbs never felt heavier in my life. I was the last person in the gym before closing and took a long hot shower taking advantage of the seat in the shower stall.

Today I feel pretty good, but I'm taking tonight off regardless and will be hitting it hard tomorrow night with legs. I have all of my PCT items ordered and they should be arriving this week. More on that later.

Yesterday's consumption:

Calories 2,069
Fat 41.9 grams, 19%
Carbs 171.3 grams, 35%
Protein 226.4 grams, 46%

The cut is going well!!!!

 

[highpockets]

April 22nd workout:

Pre-workout body weight 241.2 lbs.

Still on 800mg/day of 1-Andro Rx.

Felt really good after exhausting my chest and shoulders on Monday night. Had my leg workout of P/RR/S in my Shock week. Workout went very well even though I arrived to the gym feeling a little on the tired side. There have been times when I have arrived to the gym feeling just like this and went on to have some of my best workouts ever. I would classify this work out as very good, maybe not great. On some of the reps, although I pushed more weight than I did last time in Shock week on my legs, I could have worked even a little more weight especially on the leg presses.

(LT) Last Time, (A) Achieved

- Superset: leg extension (LT 130 lbs; A 130 lbs)/squat (LT 225 lbs; A 245 lbs)...2 x 10 each
- Superset: leg extension (LT 130 lbs; A 130 lbs)/leg press (LT 388 lbs; A 438 lbs)...2 x 10 each
- Single leg extension...1 x 10, drop, 10...70 lbs, drop 50 lbs.
- Superset: leg curl seated (190 lbs)/toes pointed hyperextension (with 25 lb plate)...2 x 10 each
- Dropset: single leg curl...2 x 10, drop, 10...90 lbs, drop 70 lbs.
- Calves
- Abs

I've always been a hard gainer when it comes to muscle mass on my legs for some reason, however I am seeing some gains to the size of my legs especially my hams. My legs definitely feel stronger and tighter.

Consumption:
Calories 2,415
Fat 76.4 grams, 30%
Carbs 126 grams, 22%
Protein 265.5 grams, 48%

I have back tonight! Talk to you tomorrow!

 

[highpockets]

April 23rd workout:

Pre-workout body weight 239 lbs. right on the button!

Had Back night in Shock week of P/RR/S. Went to the club early for me yesterday due to one daughter having a tennis match and my son having a baseball game last night. Arrived at 1:00 pm which I have found is a pretty good time to be at the gym. Not many people at all! Warmed up really well and stretched using the foam roller.

I continue to see strength improvements as well as good results with the cut and more definition.

- Pullover (LT 60 lbs; A 70 lbs)/WG pulldown superset (LT 160 lbs; A 190 lbs)...2 x 10 each (Increases in 10 and 30 lbs respectively)
- Stiff arm pulldown (LT 60 lbs A 70 lbs)/reverse grip BB row (New exercise for me 135 lbs)...2 x 10 each
- CG seated pully row dropset (LT 180,160,140; A 180/160/140)...2 x 8, drop, 8, drop, 8

Consumption:
Calories 2,313
Fat 50 grams, 20%
Carbs 185.1 grams, 34%
Protein 248.9 grams, 46%

Arms tonight! Later.

 

[Funkyt]

They wanted me to help them study, so there went my gym time. No biggy, family comes first!

Hats off to you man.....family first.


Im looking at doing another cycle of this as I felt great during my first one. Im reading everyone elses logs as well as yours to see what is working for others and I will adjust mine this time to see what happens for me.

 

[highpockets]

April 25th workout:

Pre-workout weight 243 lbs.

I have no idea why my weight jumped up a few pounds. Could be water weight as I can fluctuate quite a bit. I can gain 1.5 to 2 pounds during my workouts just from all of the water I consume while in the gym. Had my Arms workout in Shock week of P/RR/S. The previous time I performed this workout I did supersets of bi's and tri's at the same time. This time I kept to the workout of supersets of bi's first then tri's.

- EZ bar curl/CG chin superset...2 x 10 each...95 lbs./body weight
- Preacher curl/reverse curl superset...2 x 10 each...140 lbs./65 lbs.
- Dropset cable single arm curl...2 x 10, drop 10...20 lbs., drop 15 lbs.
- Pushdown/CG bench press superset...2 x 10 each...70 lbs./205 lbs.
- Reverse grip pushdown/incline overhead DB extension superset...2 x 10 each...60 lbs./45 lb DB
- Dropset weighted bench dip...2 x 10, drop 10...body weight + 35 lbs., drop body weight.

The workout went pretty good and I was happy with it, even though isolation days are not my favorite. I felt pretty strong and had a great pump.

I've finished my run of 1-Andro Rx taking 800mg/day my final week. Had absolutely no side effects and I have definitely gotten stronger. One additional thing I've noticed is that my veins through my chest, shoulders and arms are popping out like crazy. I will run another cycle of 1-Andro Rx later this summer as I believe that this PH has helped quite a bit.

For PCT I'm running IronMagLabs Anabolic Matrix Rx, Clomid and Reservatrol.

I'm not 100% on my consumption over the weekend so I'm not posting this although I didn't cheat on anything, eating pretty clean the entire time. The one thing I know I probably did not achieve was getting enough protein as I was crazy busy in the yard, baseball games, tennis matches and family stuff.

Today I start my 3rd, three week cycle of P/RR/S with Power week. This is my last three week cycle before taking a one week break in which I will have a tough time staying out of the gym completely, so I will go light and mix in some light cardio of walking on the treadmill.

I'll be posting some after cycle pics soon!

[ZECH]

Don't worry about the weight. Mine can fluctuate easily several lbs daily, depending on what I eat or drink in the morning before workout. Go by the look in the mirror.

 

[ClosingTime]

Pretty inspiring stuff, very impressive.

April 28th workout:

Pre-workout body weight 236.8 lbs.

This morning I found out that due to a Spring concert (son) at school and more tennis matches and preparing for Senior Prom this weekend (daughter) the rest of my week is going to be kind of screwed up. In addition my knees are still killing me from this past Sunday's afternoon of basketball so I swapped out my leg day with back today in my Power week of P/RR/S.

Downed some Superpump 250 about a half-an-hour before my workout and was ready to go! Had a great session.

(remember LT=last time, and A=accomplished lift):

- Stretch and warm-up

Back:
- Rack deadlift...3 x 6, LT 365 lbs. / A 365 lbs. (same weight. I tried 385 lbs but my back felt a little funny so I dropped back down.)
- T-Bar row...3 x 6, LT 225 lbs. / A 250 lbs. (25 lb. increase)
- Weighted chin...3 x 6, LT BW+25 lbs. / A BW+25 lbs. (same)
- CG seated row...3 x 6, LT 220 lbs. / A 1 set @ 240 lbs. 2 sets @ 220 lbs. (same weight really. The first set @ 240 was O.K., but I didn't really get the squeeze I was looking for.)

Bi's: (Since I was pulling and am not sure about the rest of the week I went ahead and hit my bi's since I know they need work.
- BB Curl...3 x 6...95 lbs. done with a 3/1/3 tempo.
- Life fitness machine preacher curl...3 x 6...170 lbs., 3/1/3 tempo
- DB hammer curl...3 x 6...45 lbs., 3/1/3 tempo
- CG chins...1 x 6...body weight

I was pretty gassed after this, but like I said everything went well. I'll try to squeeze legs in sometime on Thursday, so I'll report back then.

Thanks to ClosingTime and dg806 for the comments. And yes dg806, as you can see my weight is back down. Matter of fact I even dropped a couple of more pounds!!!!

Havent posted in here yet, dont want to clutter things up. But I have been following the entire way, congrats on a fantastic journal. Prince couldnt have picked a better memeber to log his product.

Also youve done a fantastic job with droping weight while increasing strength. Do you have any before and after pics for comparision.

Thank you for your kind words! It's been fun and the logging kind of keeps you honest and motivated because you know you have people waiting on a report.

I did post a before picture, should be on page 1 of this thread towards the bottom, and an after picture will be forth coming.

April 30th workout:

Pre-workout body weight 236.8 lbs.

Had legs yesterday and the session went well again. I can tell my legs are getting stronger. I just have a really hard time building any leg mass.

- Stretch and warm up
- Squats...3 x 6, LT 245 lbs. - A 245 lbs. (Same weight as last time but the weight went up much easier. I did not want to add weight as I can tell the bones in my left knee are grating just a bit)
- Leg press...3 x 6, LT 478 lbs. - 528 lbs. (50 lb increase)
- Single leg extension...3 x 6, LT 70 lbs. - A 70 lbs. (same weight)
- Seated leg curl...3 x 6, LT 210 lbs. - A 210 lbs. (same weight)
- Stiff deadlift...3 x 6, LT 275 lbs. - A 275 lbs. (same weight)

My PCT consists of 3 tabs/day of Ironmag Labs Anabolic Matrix, 600 mg/day Reservatrol and 100mg/day liquid form of Clomid. The Clomid tastes like shit!

I'm going to try and sneak in the gym over lunch at blast my arms before leaving for the weekend.

Later!

 

[highpockets]

May 1st workout:

Pre-workout body weight 235.9 lbs.

Just got back from squeezing in my arms workout. I hit the gym hard this week and I'm really looking forward to having the weekend off, hanging out in Indianapolis, watching my son play in a basketball tournament!

On arms day, I usually work my bi's first then hit my tri's, so today I switched things up and started with CG bench presses and my tri's. I warmed up with just the bar after stretching. Then I did 10 reps with 135 lbs. continuing my warm-up. Went to 245 lbs. which is where my workout was to begin. Pressed it once thinking that it was really pretty easy. This got me thinking. Loaded 275 lbs. and moved my hands out on the bar for a traditional bench and this went up as easy as it ever has. Loaded 300 lbs. and this too went up easy. I stopped here as I'm not scheduled to max for another 2 weeks, but this little outburst has definitely proved that on this cycle of 1-Andro Rx I have absolutely gained strength and definition while dropping pounds!!!!

- CG bench press...3 x 6, 245 lbs. (20 lb increase, I struggled on the last set, but I got them in)
- Skull crush...3 x 6, 95 lbs. (5 lb increase)
- Single arm dumbell extension...2 x 6, 50 lbs. (same weight)
- Barbell curl...3 x 6, 115 lbs. (same weight)
- Preacher curl...3 x 6, 170 lbs. (same weight, 3x1x3 tempo)
- Hammer curl...2 x 6, 55 lbs. (same weight)
- Finished with a superset of 1 x 10 dips and cg chin ups, each.

Good workout! Still dropping weight and feeling great!

 

[highpockets]

May 4th workout:

Pre-workout body weight 234.8 lbs. Still cutting!

Had my Chest/Delt/Ab workout on the first day of my Rep Range week of P/RR/S. I got to the gym around 11:00 am and it was practically deserted, just me and the owners. Being laid-off from work is great for working out, not so great for the wallet! I felt good going into this workout, having a good weekend of rest. The Anabolic Matrix, that Prince has on sale right now, has absolutely been helping especially in the sleep category.

I continue to drop weight, little by little, while becoming more defined. I wish I would have taken some body measurements before starting the cycle of 1-Andro Rx because the mirror tells me I haven't lost any size and my fat areas have gotten smaller, especially my waist. All of my pants and shorts are too big for me. Before going away last weekend I figured I better buy a new pair of cargo shorts. Before this cycle I was wearing a waist size 40, so I went to the mall and picked up a pair of 38's thinking this would be good. I'm glad I decided to try them on, because they were too big! I went back to the rack and picked up some 36's. They were OK and I bought them, but I think I probably could have gotten 34's. I haven't been in a 34 waist since high school and wore 36's all through college. six months ago I was in 42's! My wardrobe is screwed.

Chest:

- Incline dumbell press...3 x 8, LT 80 lbs./ A 85 lbs. (5 lb increase)
- Bench press...3 x 8, LT 245 lbs./ A 225 lbs. ( 20 lb decrease. I don't have any explanation on the decrease here. There was just no way I was going to get 245. This happens to me once in a while as I'm sure it does everyone. The weight just seemed way too heavy.)
- Flye...3 x 12, LT 55 lbs./ A 55 lbs. (same weight)

Shoulders:

- OLY bar single arm corner press...3 x 8, LT 70 lbs./ A 85 lbs. (15 lb increase)
- Bent lateral...3 x 10, LT 45 lbs./ A 55 lbs. (10 lb increase.)
- Cable side lateral...2 x 12, LT 20 lbs./ A 20 lbs. (same weight)

Abs.

The session went well except for the flat bench.

Consumed:

Calories 2,499
Fat 84.2 grams, 31%
Carbs 211.4 grams, 35%
Protein 207.5 grams, 34%

My macros were a little off, Fat a bit higher and Carbs definitely higher and Protein too low, but all in all I'm getting closer to my goals. I would like to get to 230 lbs. within the next 2 weeks.

I'm either going to go with legs today or back, I'm not sure yet.

Talk to you tomorrow!

May 5th workout

Well I've attached a photo that a buddy of mine took in the locker room before our workout. Age 48, Height 6'8", Weight 234.4 lbs. It's not the best photo since I have no clue on how to pose to accentuate my body, but it will have to do. Since beginning the 1-Andro Rx I've dropped close to 12 lbs. Since getting back to seriously following P/RR/S 5 months ago, I've dropped 41 lbs.

Had my Back workout yesterday and the session went well.

- CG weighted chin...3 x 8, (LT) body weight / (A) body weight
- WG T-Bar row...3 x 8, (LT) 180 lbs. / (A) 190 lbs. (10 lb increase)
- Dumbell row...3 x 12, (LT) 90 lbs. / (A) 90 lbs. (same weight)
- Pullover...2 x 15, (LT) 70 lbs / (A) 70 lbs. (same weight)
- CG Lat pulldown...2 x 12, (LT) 160 lbs. / (A) 160 lbs. (same weight)

I've noticed that all of my chin-up exercises have gotten easier, but at 234.4 lbs. I haven't been able to add any weight and still hit my intended reps. Out of all of my body parts, my back has grown the most.

I'm still cutting as I would like to get to 230 lbs. and then maintain this weight and see if I can't still transform some lean muscle. I feel great!

May 6th workout:

Pre-workout body weight, 233.4 lbs.

Wednesday was my off day, but I'm really trying to drop to 230 lbs., so I thought I would begin with a short HIIT day on a couple of off days. I tried to run/jog on the treadmill, but with my long legs, a poor sense of balance and bad knees this just did not work well. Instead I used the elliptical machine. I went 1 minute slow and 1 minute as fast I could go method and achieved 6 sets of these for a total of 12 minutes.

I have never done HIIT before, but I can see how this will benefit. My heart was racing by the end and I was able to recover pretty quickly.

May 7th workout:

Pre-workout body weight 233 lbs.

O.K., not sure how I continue to drop weight, but it keeps on leaving. I was hungry yesterday and ate to my maintenance level. It feels like my body has reached another level, not really sure how to explain it. Maybe it's been so long since I've been down below 235 lbs. I just forget how it feels.

Had legs yesterday in my Rep Range of P/RR/S. Workout went well and my legs are getting stronger. My left knee (invaded the most times by surgeons) is a little sore today.

- Leg extension...2 x 10, (LT) 130 lbs. / (A) 140 lbs. (10 lb increase)
- Squats...3 x 10, (LT) 225 lbs / (A) 245 lbs (20 lb increase)
- Single leg press...3 x 12, (LT) 208 lbs. / (A) 228 lbs. (20 lb increase)
- Seated leg curl...2 x 10, 190 lbs. (new to routine)
- Stiff Dead lift...3 x 10, (LT) 225 lbs. / (A) 245 lbs. (20 lb increase)
- Seated single leg curl...(LT) 90 lbs. / (A) 90 lbs. (same weight)

Like I said above, I was really hungry for some reason and ate a bunch of chicken breasts.

May 11th workout:

Pre-workout body weight 234.6 lbs.

This past weekend, being Mother's Day and all, I did not eat as well as I usually do. I ate enough, just too much of the things that I try to steer away from, so I wasn't surprised to see that the scales said I was a pound and a half heavier than I was on Friday. I can actually lose a pound and a half with a good crap, so like I said I am not too worried.

The one thing that does have me a little concerned is the fact that I feel like I've lost a little strength. Now I will admit that Monday's can be tough for me. Sometimes after taking the entire weekend off, I struggle for some reason the first day back in the gym. In addition to it being Monday, I started my Shock week of P/RR/S. Supersets and high repetitions, yuck! I don't mind supersets I just really don't like high reps.

Chest

- Superset...cable crossover LT 45 lbs. - A 45 lbs./incline barbell press LT 185 lbs. - A 135 lbs...2 x 10 reps each (same weight on the crossovers and 50 lbs. less on the inclines. I felt really gassed on the inclines and it was my first set. Maybe I didn't warm up enough.)
- Superset...incline flys LT 45 lbs. - A 45 lbs./dips (body weight +35 lbs.)...2 X 10 each (Same weight on both)
-Dropset....BB bench press...2 x 10, drop 8, drop 8...LT 205, 155, 135 - A 205, 155, 135 (Same weights)

Shoulders

- Superset...seated side lateral LT 25 lbs. - A 25 lbs./Arnie presses LT 40 lbs. - A 40 lbs....2 x 10 each (Same weight)
- Superset...reverse peck deck LT 140 lbs. - A 160 lbs./WG upright cable row 75 lbs - A 85 lbs...2 x 10 each (10 lb increase on both)
- Cable front raise dropset...2 x 10, drop 10, drop 10...LT 15, 10, 5 - A 15, 10, 5 (Same weight)

Work out went just OK. I felt better after I got going, but I am wondering about strength.

May 12th workout

Pre-workout body weight 233.4 lbs.

Had leg day in Shock week of P/RR/S. Arrived to the gym feeling pretty good and was ready to work my legs, especially since my legs have been feeling better than average lately. In my early posts I spoke of my inability to squat due to numerous knee surgeries and then my return to squatting during this cycle. Yesterday I performed front squats for the first time in years and although I didn't go extremely heavy, I was very happy with the results and the fact that I'm back to using this exercise.

(LT) Last Time, (A) Achieved

- Superset: leg extension (LT 130 lbs; A 140 lbs)/front squat (LT back squat 245 lbs; A front squat 135 lbs)...2 x 10 each (I had really good form and was able to get even lower on my squat than on back squats.)
- Superset: leg extension (LT 130 lbs; A 140 lbs)/leg press (LT 388 lbs; A 388 lbs)...2 x 10 each
- Step ups...1 x 10, drop, 10...BW + 100 lbs, drop BW + 80 lbs.
- Superset: leg curl seated (190 lbs)/toes pointed hyperextension (with 35 lb plate)...2 x 10 each
- Dropset: single leg curl...2 x 10, drop, 10...90 lbs, drop 70 lbs.
- Calves

I stayed, pretty much, with the same weights as my previous workout in Shock week, however my range of motion is improving. Range of motion has always been a problem for me due to scar tissue in my knee, so I was happy with the session.

Libido is good! My wife and I are currently separated so right now I'd screw a snake if I could grab it's ears!
