MonStar's Journal: P/RR/S for Life!

[DeadBolt]

Archie nailed it...either way something is always sore LOL. I think if you just stick to the order of body parts for a bit you will adjust. Its really hard to not have one body part get in the way of working anothher. Just gotta train sore sometimes LOL.

Archangel: I agree man, no matter what my split is generally for the most part I always progress---for some reason. If I don't hit at least 1 new PR per week I'm dissapointed. Obviously I can't expect to progress on all my lifts, all the time, but I do the best I can.

DeadBolt: You're absolutely right bro, 100%. I used to be anal about overworking certain bodyparts, but anymore I don't even think twice about it. I know that sometimes I am going to end up overdoing it---but I just have to adjust. When I pair up back and then shoulders/traps the next day for example, I know I'm hitting traps pretty much on both days. But whatever. When I did chest today, I know I beat up my triceps, so tomorrow I'm going to go to train arms and I'm sure I'll be feeling the DOMS from today's workout. Oh well.

P/RR/S Cycle 1 | Power Week
Thursday; 6-16-2005​

Chest

Flat DB Presses:

115's x 7
135 x 3!
115's x 7

Very nice PR here today for flat DB presses, hit the 135's for a triple, not too shabby at all. I was pretty impressed, and I think a few of the other guys around me at the gym were, too, lol.

Hammer Strength Iso-Bench Presses:

240 x 6
280 x 4
240 x 5

Not too bad here today, worked up to 3 plates per side for 4. I'm still getting used to Hammer Strength.

Flat DB Flyes:

65's x 7
70's x 6
70's x 5

Diet/Supplements:

Preworkout: 1 scoop of whey protein + skim milk, 25mg ephedrine, 25mcg T3
Postworkout: 1 scoop of whey protein + skim milk
Meal 1: oatmeal + 1 scoop of whey protein + peanut butter
Meal 2: 2 scoops weight-gainer + 1 pint of skim milk
Meal 3: whole-wheat tuna sandwich
Meal 4: 1% cottage cheese + yogurt
Meal 5: tuna wrap
Meal 6: 1/2 whole-wheat peanut butter sandwich
Meal 7: whole-wheat turkey & cheese sandwich

Good amount of protein today, ended up with roughly 280-290g or so today, not too shabby.

Sleep: 8 hours.

Weight: 214.5 lbs. Up slightly from yesterday, whatever.

Awesome PR on the DB Presses. Question, you throw these up yourself or do you have a spotter.

 

[DeadBolt]

Ditto to blu....awsome work on the flat press my man!! Killer power there!!

 

[M.J.H.]

bludevil: Hey man, thanks for stopping by, appreciate the support. When I do flat DB presses I first stand up with the DB's and sit down, with them on my knees. Then I basically power clean them back as I lay back on the bench. I don't need a spotter at all to hoist up the 135's. Now when it comes to seated DB presses, I usually get a spotter to help me get the first rep with anything over the 90's.

DeadBolt: Thanks bro, appreciate it. My gym has all the way up to the 140's so hopefully my next power week I'll be able to squeeze out a few reps with the 140's.

Arms

Standing BB Curls:

95 x 8

Really need to work on my bringing up my strength on BB curls, for whatever reason I can just never make any kind of appreciable gains in strength. I have absolutely no idea why, either.

Skullcrushers:

65's x 5/5

No, Im a couple lbs lighter. Usually around 210-213lbs. Been here for the last few weeks. Im training for strongman now, so I need to be as close to the line of the lower weight class as I can.
