Michael's bulk

Deadlifts 185x9 (I don't know why, but that was unusually hard) 225x10 245x9 265x6 (Big PR, only did 255x3 last week) 225x9

This was one of the best work outs I ever had. That was also one of the most, maybe the most, I have increased in one week. Does anyone know if wearing nike shocks (~1.5 inch elevated heel) would make a big difference in the weight I pull? I always wear them in the gym and never thought about it until now.
 
Awesome PR my Friend!!! Way to go!!! I wouldn't think that the shoes would matter, YOU pulled the weight!!!
 
Heya man damn good workout! Congrats on the PR!!!

I don't think they will affect it much....that weight brought them shocks right down to level ya know LOL.
 
CG bench 145x8 (PR) 140x8 140x8

DB press 35x9 35x7
DB lateral raises 25x12 25x9

Good lookin w/o my friend! Solid #'s!

I agree after tri's delts atre nearly impossible. I'd switch it up and do delts first then tri's. Just my 2 cents though!

I thought about that, but you use shoulders when working triceps and you don't really use your triceps in working delts. So your delts would fail before your triceps.
 
Brother Michael, I would tend to agree with Brother Bolt on this one!!! But you do what you feel your comfortable and better at my Friend!!!

My tri's get hit when doing delts...but mainly the Milt Press. I know for sure b/c I can't put up jack when I do tri's before delts. The shoulders are pretty much involved in everything....theres real no way around it.
 
ATFsquats (I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I don't go as far as possible, I go until my hamstrings touch my calves. It's only a few inches from complete bottom) 185x10 205x10 215x7 215x7
Front squats (as far as possible) 135x10 165x8 165x8
15 second rests
BB calve raises 225x10 (fell forward) 225x12 225x11 225x11

My squats are going back up, hopefully they will stay up this time.
 
Nice work, Hater. I've never been able to get the feel of front squats. How long did you do them before they felt comfortable?

Good work man....not many can move that sort of weight ATF!!! Your lucky you can actually squat bud! I know I can't...

I never got the hang of front squats....tried and tried again and never could.

I could do them correctly my first time, but they really hurt wereI held the bar, until last week. I haven't been doing them since june though.

What was the problem? Couldn't balance or something?
 
DB press 65x11 (because my spotter helped me with every rep! He wouldn't listen to me.) 65x6 (didn't wait long enough) 60x8
DB incline 55x7 50x13 50x11 lol 55 was too heavy, and 50 was too light.
Bad chest work out

Bent over rows 145x9 145x8 145x8 145x9 (cheated last 2)
Wide grip pull ups BWx14 BWx11 BWx9 BWx10 BWx8
Close grip pull ups BWx8 BWx7

I tired to do one set of bicep curls but I couldn't even curl 30 for one rep! Great back work out and bicep work out.

Yea I was still to new to lifting I guess b/c I couldn't grasp the concept of "sitting" into the squat. I would always lean forward to much and just be off balanced. That was a few years ago. I still lean forward to much on normal squats....don't really know how to correct it. But I don't squat anymore b/c of my shoulder so I have time to figure it out I guess LOL.
 
Deadlifts (I forgot to do them angel style!!!!) 225x10 265x6 (barely missed 7) 265x5 245x8 245x10
Still leg deadlifts 135x10 135x11 my lower back felt raped before these sets, that's why it's so light.
Shrugs 70x10 70x10 70x9

My lower back is already sore. Looking for that 7th rep next week.

That's the most common problem with people new to front squats. I have never seen someone fall backwards on front squats, I've seen many fall forward. If you lean forward on back squats your lower back might not be up to par with your legs. Or you could be pushing off the front of your feet.

Great w/o BRother Michael!!! I bet you get that 7th rep and then some, lookin solid my Friend!!! :thumb:
 
I threw in some front squats (very light, only 95 lbs) this week. My neck has been stiff, and I thought it would be a good way to squat without stressing it more. They are more comfortable than I remember, but when I looked back I saw that for some reason I had tried them on a smith machine. No idea why...

Yea I wouldn't think about doing them on a smith. To get used to heavy weight (so it's comfortable when you do them heavy) just unrack heavy weight and stand with it. That's what I did at first.
 
Hey Man, Just got to reading your journal, seem to have been doing a good job. :thumbs:
Are you still doing this split?
ihateschoolmt said:

I'm still doing that, except biceps on back day. I don't train them directly at all anymore though actually.
 
So you do Tri's alone?
 
And how about Delts?
 
If you have time you should try to do delts on Saturday also, It would interrupt neither back or bi's and would not affect tri???s on Monday.

Or maybe do bi's and delts on Monday and tris and back on Saturday

Do you have Cables at you Gym?

You seem to be doing type of lifts for strenght lifters, I thought you were bulking.
I can understand doing strength type exercises for example Bi???s lats legs, but you sould try to get some size in all you delts, your tris and your chest, which you should incorporate some DB flies at many different angles.

Do delts on saturday and monday? Or just saturday? I find that my triceps grow better when done with a smaller muscle. I did chest and tris for 4 months and saw no results. I have been doing triceps and shoulders for a few weeks now and I gained .25 inches on my arms already. I don't want to move that right now. I have cables at my gym. I'm doing only free weights right now.

For me it's all about the compound lifts to grow. I will add some flies to see if it helps, I guess it wouldn't hurt. Thank you very much for your advice.
 
Oh, and while i'm posting in my journal, nothing like a great set of dead lifts to immobablize you the next day. I'm so sore I can barely stand.
 
CG bench 145x9 (PR, Never done that on regular bench either) 145x7 145x6
