w/b dude. Sounds like an awesome vacation. 
not a prob, figured you'd be busy when you got back. 
I am bumping this thread for my bro!
How's it going since getting back from vacation as far as training and diet?
How's it going since getting back from vacation as far as training and diet?
Hey sis! Training has been going fairly well but I need a bit of a kick in the ass. Maybe you could hook me up with your trainer!
Actually, I'll be starting a mass building program after labor day. So I feel like I'm going through the motions a bit, but this week has been a bit more intense, thankfully!
Diet-wise, has been fairly good. I have been having a cheat meal hear and there (yum) but overall not too bad. I'd say I gained about 5 pounds since I hit my low (which is not bad for me, I am an easy fat gainer).
I'll start up a new journal after labor day so I/we can track my progress. The mass program will last 6 months, and if I gain the 10 pounds of lean mass I'd like, I think I'll do a show next year.
Thanks for asking!
P.S. Yes....I was kidding!

360 on the Hammer Weighted Dips. WOW!!! Are you going to keep posting your workouts in this journal until you start the new one? I'm curious what your routine looks like for other body parts.
oh yeah and almost forgot, what are cable crossover curls? Are they like concentration curls but with the cables?
I made up that name! You know the crossover setup? With the handles high, hold them in both hands and standing in the middle. Curl them towards your body so that you are in a double bi pose. Keep the elbows "locked" in mid air. Slowly do the reps, feel the squeeze and the pump. Its a good finishing exercise.
If you like, I'll post come additional workouts.
It was funny, after I did 180 an acquantance said, wow, nice weight. He thought I was kidding when I said I was just getting started!

oh ok, i call them High cable curls. but yeah they are awesome to get a killer deep burn to finish off the bi's.
Yeah I'd definately like to see more of your routines.
Highest I've been able to do on the Hammer Dips was 225, lol but then again your arms are alot bigger than mine. But I'll catch up in time.

Go home, TP!!!
I think he actually listened to us Mochy!!!
awesome chest workout.
So the flat bench bothers your shoulder more than incline work? Mine's the opposite way, it goes almost numb by the end of doing inclines. But I've learned when to stop before it goes to far and I can't do anything else for the day.

Yes I listened.
DV -- barbell effects my shoulders more than dumbbell. So I haven't done flat barbells in a while. A few months back I was getting around 300 for 10. I expect to be getting 315 for 10 by the winter.
Today was back, here ya go:
Wide Grip Pullups
Bodyweight x 13
BW + 45 x 4 then BW x 4
BW + 25 x 8
BW x 9
Deadlifts
225 x 8
315 x 6
315 x 6
Barbell Rows
225 x 8
185 x 12
185 x 12
Close grip reverse grip pulldowns superset with lat pulls
180 x 10
80 x 5
180 x 10
60 x 10
150 x 10
60 x 10
Shrugs
185 x 12
185 x 12
275 x 12
275 x 12
185 x 12
Note: deads are normally heavier but I haven't done them in a while and shrugs are normally heavier and on shoulder day. I haven't been doing shrugs much at all because my traps get too big.

So I take it you work out in the mornings?
I complain about being tired all the time, but I'm sure you too! Like I said, I hope your hours can ease up a little sometime soon.
And about the shampoo....! Did you forget?

dumb question but what are lat pulls?
Looks like a killer back workout.
I have to learn how to do deads, ok those and squats. Jeff hates them both so we never do them 
I've heard nothing beats either of those. But now the move is the end of october. My company is covering the idiot roommates half until i get there new Accounting sytem set up.
So the move is pushed out, but at least I get to take care of everythign before I leave this way.

lat pull downs - sit facing the machine. Grab the lat bar and pull it down to just above the top of your chest
