Thursday:

Back/Biceps

Lat Pulldowns: RI - 60 | 115x12, 135x10, 135x10, 155x8

Traditional Deadlift (semi straight legged DL): RI - 90 | 135x10 (5 negatives going down, 3 seconds, followed by 5 fast reps), 135x10 (5 neg down, 3 neg up, 2 fast, 3 sec on the negs), 185x10 (5 neg down, 5 neg up, 3 seconds neg), 185x10 (3 neg down, 5 neg up, 2 fast reps, 3 sec neg)

Smith Bent Over Barbel Row: Ri - 45 | Bar + 50x10, Bar + 50x15, Bar + 70x15 - First time doing these.

Cardio - 25 minutes HIIT

5 minutes rowing (min hr - 100, max hr - 160, level 10).

20 minutes on an elliptical HIIT. Min hr - 130, max hr - 166, level 1 and 6, spent entire time at 150bpm or above and 15 minutes on level 6. It was like one long interval for me.

Calories - 3600 - High Carb, Lower Calorie day

My grip was kind of messed up today, yesterday it was my right hand, today it's my left. At least it's repairing pretty quickly. I had to strap up to just about everything today - it didn't feel great to be seen wearing them for EVERYTHING.

Everything worked pretty nicely, those deadlifts definitely worked well.
 
im a fuckin oompa loompa compared to you :laugh:
 
tallcall is a beast! :yes:
 
Nice looking workout. Simple and solid. Way to go.
 
Wow thats some amazing leg pressing! You lat pull downs are strong to, Ive always struggled with those. What kind of bar did you use for the pull downs?

Yeah, thanks, but that was only for 6 reps, not the whole 20 since I was doing a dropset.

For the pulldowns I just use the standard bar that's on the machine - usually a long bar bent at both ends.

I'm amazed how strong you are in such a short time TC. It took my 12 months to hit 155 on the lat puldowns. Outstanding.

Of course, you have to realize that I weight 283 pounds. If I do any pullups, I'll be pulling a whole lot of weight, so I really have to have some strong pulldowns to get colse to my body weight. My max pulldown is still about 195 pounds for 4-6 reps (partially because when I do assisted pullups, I set the assistance at about 88-100 pounds - making my body weigh about 195 pounds).

15 minutes on a treadmill HIIT. Min hr - 90, max hr - 170, Incline - 0-15, Speed - 3.5-7.2mph. 4 sets of 60/60.

10 minutes on an elliptical trainer (min hr - 108, max hr - 170, levels 1-17).

Wasn't really in the mood for much today, my right arm was giving me some problems and I had a little problem with the Smith machine doing my Hises (never mind, I just laughed at it and am trying to forget).

I am very happy to hit those records, they felt pretty nice, it all just felt really jumbled and like chaos because I kept running into idiots everywhere I turned (there MUST be a holiday coming up where people usually eat a lot of food or something :rolleyes: ).

Calories - High Carb, Med Calories - 3400-3600? (I can't remember)

Sunday:

Chest/Triceps:

Rotator Cuff Warmup

Hanging Knee Raises: RI - 60 | 3xBWx10

Crunch - using one of those machines for the first time in the last 5-6 months (it at least felt a little different - :confused: :rolleyes: ): Ri - 30 | 4 x 110-115 pounds x 10 reps

Dips: RI - 90 | BW-100x8, BW-88x8, BW-64x6, BW-52x4

Pushups: RI - 90 | BW x 2 sets x 5 reps, BW x 1 set x 7 reps

Superset: RI - 60 |

1 - Cable Flys | 50x10, 60x4, 50x8

2 - Cable Incline Press | 50x10, 60x10, Dropset - 80x3 (PR for Weight), 70x3, 60x3

Skull Crushers: RI - 60 | 40x10, 60x7, 70x4 PR for Weight

Triceps Pressdown: RI - 30 | 2x90, 120x10 (8 second negatives), Dropset - 150, 140, 120, 100 x 20 reps total

Cardio - 30 minutes HIIT

5 minutes Rowing (min hr - 75, max hr - 170, level 10, speed - 40-45RPM).

15 minutes on a treadmill HIIT. Min hr - 108, max hr - 192, incline - 0-15, speed - 3.2-8.0mph, 3 sets x 120/120 (some done on a steep incline as well).

10 minutes on the same treadmill SS (min hr - see above, max hr for this segment was 160, incline - 4, speed - 3.5-4mph).

I felt alright today, especially after I started the Incline Presses and got things really going. My pushups were hampered by the same problem as yesterday (although a whole lot better - still had some nagging pain in my arm, also my grip in my left hand is still kind of dodgey :confused: - I'm going to give it some time to get better before I do any grip work again).

It is so weird to have these random people come up to me and tell me how good they think I'm doing, I apparently have a huge fan base there, but I don't know or even remember seeing any of these people ever (and I go there all the time). Oh well, it does feel nice to have people worship the ground I walk on so I can't complain :D .

Calories - High Carb, High Calorie + (I won't be able to have anything fun again until Friday, so I had a cheat today - felt niiiiiicccceeee!) ~4000+
 
Looks like your getting some solid workouts in. So you do core stuff every workout?

I only really do core work twice a week, on the weekends, so I can spend the other days with my trainer working completely on legs and whatever else we choose. I really don't like dedicating much time to abs at all.

Stomach: 36.5 inches ??? down .5 inches from last time

Chest: 50 inches ??? down 1 inch from last week
Shoulders: 60 inches ??? down 1.5 inches from last time
Neck: 19 inches ??? down 1 inch from last time
Bi's: 17 inches ??? down 1 inch from last time
Calves: 19.5 inches - no change
:pissed: :mad: :yell:

Lean Body Mass: 265.52 ??? down from last week's 267.97 (-2.45 pounds)
Body Fat Weight: 14.98 - down from last week's 17.53 (-2.55 pounds)

Caliper readings - 4 point test:
Abs ??? 6.5 mm ??? down .5 mm from last week
Suprailiac ??? 9 mm ??? no change from last week
Thigh ??? 5 mm ??? down 2.25 mm from last week
Triceps ??? 5 mm ??? no change from last week
:D :thumb: :mooh:

Estimated body fat % is ~14 %.

I???m guessing that some of the inches lost around the chest and shoulders was fat loss, so I don???t really care all that much. This is 1 week after starting a low carb/high carb diet and I???m already down 3 pounds! In addition, it was pretty nice to bring my belt one notch lower this week!

I don't care. It's still really impressive in my book, you can't play it down. Incredible progress.

195lb's!!!!!!!!!! That's wayyy more than i can manage!
 
Gosh T,, you've made such awesome progress!!!! That's got to feel really great, doesn't it???

I need to get into that "mental mindframe" again... I've kinda lost it right now and I feel I'm just gliding along......

Of course. I just noticed you had it two days in a row, so I was speculating. I actually do abs twice a week and I generally superset it, so I probably spend about 1/2 a week on abs.

Dive Bombers (On Knees): RI - 30 | BWx10 (1st rep normal, the last 9 were on my knees), BWx10 (all on knees), BWx8 (1st 2 reps were normal, the last 6 were on my knees).

Cardio - 50 minutes SS

5 minutes on an elliptical trainer (min hr - 65, max hr - 150, level - 1 and 10).

35 minutes on a stair mill (min hr - 90, max hr - 160, levels 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 8, 6, and 5 - each held for about 2 minutes then level 5 for the remainder of the time).
