Last Workout Day -- Thanksgiving.
So yesterday I dropped back to 50, and the back is slightly better today. The pump today in the gym (chest, shoulders and tris) was insane however.
I woke up this AM at 234, but much of that, I suspect, was due to the enormous amount of sushi I had last night. All that rice, and soy sauce (sodium) will really give you a fake bump in weight. I am sure the weight will continue to climb, however, after today's glutony. Let's hope the gut doesn't take too big of a hit.
Again, I am looking really swole these days, and I am sure I am damn near my all time best (again, just much fatter).
Here was my leg workout from two days ago:
Leg Extensions:
290 x 9, 8, 10, 8, 8, 10, 8, 6
Leg Curls:
150 x 8, 10, 10, 8, 8, 8, 7, 6
Both of these reps and weight are improvement over the previous workout. Then, because of my lower back problems, I killed the volume on the squats and just went all out supersetting squats with leg presses (4 plates per side).
Squat...............Leg Press
315 x 10...........4 x 8
405 x 5.............4 x 8
225 x 10...........4 x 6
I was spent. Here is today's workout:
Low Pulley Crossovers
50 x 6
42.5 x 8
35 x 10
High Pulley Crossovers
42.5 x 12, 12
Incline Barbell Press -- before I started these, I had a massive pump across my chest, and I was feeling strong.
225 x 22 ---> this was basically failure, I wanted to see how many I could get. Then I went up to 275, which I have not done since surgery.
275 x 6
275 x 5
These were not quite to failure, and they felt good. I also immediately did a drop set of flat bench DB with 75s for 8 and 7 reps respectively. My intensity phase (coming up) will use a lot more of these intensity techinques.
Decline Hammer Strength
3 plates per side x 10, 8
My chest was seriously pump, and my shoulders were tight as can be. I could barelt fit into the shoulder press machine, it took a lot of work.
Shoulder Press, 2 plates and quarters per side, 3 sets of 12.
V-Bar Press Downs:
130 x 12, 145 x 8, 10
One Arm Reverse Pressdowns
35 x 10
42.5 x 10
50 x 8
One Arm overhead DB presses
50 x 8, 8
This was a great workout, I am ready to eat some turkey. I will have a full dose tomorrow, and a half dose on Saturday and I am done. I will give full stats as of Monday morning, and then again in about a week.
