Trying to lose the man boobs.

FatCatMC- Thanks alot

Today is pull day, but my chest is still sore (I am still going to workout)
 
today was pull day:

Seated Cable Rows
1x5, 1x5, 1x6, 1x10
Pull-ups
1x5, 5, 5
BB Upright Rows
50lbs x 12
70lbs x 7, 6
BB Curls
70x8, 6
DB Curls
30lbs x 7, 7

here is a pic of me- I am wearing a shirt, still way to fat for a shirtless
 
Push:
Incline BB Bench
120x4 PR
120x2
Flat Bench Press
120x3
120x3
BB Military Press
85x5 PR
85x4
85x3
DB Flys
27.5x9 PR
27.5x6
27.5x6
Seated BB Triceps Extension
50x8
Cable Dips
1x6

The Flat BB Bench Press felt really weird (I have not done them in a long time), I was mad that I only got 120x3, I was expecting I would get 10 reps, It was probably because they were done after some intense Incline Presses.
The triceps extensions were hurting my elbow so I only did 1 set and then added a set of cable dips. It was an ok workout (because of the PR's). I dont know if I should be calling them PRs because after the Incline Press everything is dead so I have to go lighter on the rest of the exercises, soon I will be taking my week of(maybe in another 2 weeks), and then I might start an upper/lower.
 
In a week or two I will be moving into my dads apartment, we will not have internet, so I will not be able to post here anymore:cry: , The good news is I will finally be going to a gym, no more screwing weights on and off:laugh: , So this is bascially my last week on IM, I wanna say thankyou for all the info I learned on here. :wave:
 
All the best Mike. You are a smart guy; you will go far, I'm sure of it!
Just keep working hard and stay positive :)
 
:) best wishes mike ..... we'll really miss u here :) ... i got useed to your posts... any way .u'll be able to get an internet connection soon i know .. ;) u know how to handle your stuff ......
 
I have not been motivated to train lately since I have alot of thigs to do (because I am moving), plus I have to get rid of my weight set or store it in the garage. So Ill use this as my 1-2 weeks off.

Anyway, I finally got to the doctor and as some of you know I have had knee pain, she says it is from being overactive (such as playing basketball alot), and especially since I am heavier... So I will be taking an x-ray soon to make sure that is what I have (it was a very long word that started with a C, :D ).

I was just lifting, messing around and right after a set to failure during dumbbell flys with 27.5's, I flat Benched 120 for 5 reps very easily so I am estimating my max to be around 120 for 10+ reps, I should not be guessing so I will test it soon.

Hopefully when I move well get a computer/internet so I can continue posting and tracking my progress.

I am really excited to move-
The place I am moving to has a fitness center, billiard place, volleyball, tennis, pool, basketball courts, lake, etc. for all people living in there apartments.

So I am pretty anxious to get there and finally start going to a real gym.
I just hope the gym has good equipment.
 
Ok I started Dieting today, because I want to lose some weight before school for lots of reasons. I am going to eat around 1800 calories of only healthy foods, here was my first meal:
1 cup milk with Instant Oats, 1 cup vanilla yogurt.
 
lol, it is not written I wil just eat big healthy meals 4 timese a day
 
Just tested out my rep max for bench. I did not have a spotter but I am 99% sure I would not have got another rep. So my max on the flat BB bench is 125x5.
 
Let me get another post out to ya before you leave us for a brief while. Keep up the good work Mike. Come on back and see us whenever you get a chance.
 
Mike, why are you not updating your journal? Maybe you are taking a week off?

I thought of a way you can work on squats. Have you tried assited squats or sissy squats?
One way of doing this would be to purchase a sling (or a rope) and loop it around the top of something sturdy like the top of a universal machine or if outside you could wrap the sling around a pole of a chain link fence (just position it as high as you can reach) Then on the other end use a db bar or a small pipe (2' long) and connect the other end of your sling or rope to that.
Now you can hold onto the bar for support (arms out in front of you) as you squat. Once you get good at it you can try modified hindu squats, sissy squats (just lean back more) or for a long term goal modified pistols. I have used this type of set up before and it works great. This is how I learned to do pistols. The best thing about it is that you can throw the pipe and sling into a backpack and set it up almost anywhere.
Anyway just an idea. Happy training. :thumbup:

This is what I am talking about.
 
Bakerboy- I have not had internet/weights access for a while- that is why I have not been updating, It was not a week off though, I was working out on the total gym, not a written program , but just what I felt I should do, but now I got access to my weights and its time to get down to buisness. As for the sling set-up, I just hold on to my bunk bed for support and do squats, but when I go ATG it hurts my knees.

As some of you know I have knee pain, and I went to the doctor and took an x-ray, a week later they tell me there is nothing wrong with my knees:confused:
