[Var]

Definitely! Any time I get a compliment like that I want to run immediately to the gym.

 

[PreMier]

Nicccce. I cant wait untill I get people terlling me im jakked

 

[Var]

Hey Jake...you're jacked!

 

[PreMier]

Thanks Var. Its different when someone in real life says it(IE: touching distance) For some reason I got that Barbie girls song stuck in my head, the one by Aqua

Whats DOMS?

 

[Var]

I know, man. I'm the same way. DOMS is Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. That Barbie Girls song rocks! I mean...er...its gay. Now I have it stuck in my head.

 

[PreMier]

Is DOMS different than the regular soreness? I dont get it... If im sore, im sore
Haha! I never minded watching the music video. That chick from aqua was sooo hot, gawd.

Feel free to post hot chicks in my journal ANY TIME!!! I love that chick too.

DOMS is the soreness you feel the two days after training.

 

[PreMier]

Ok. I always get that(DOMS) then. I thought it was different, but infact is just a fancy name haha! One more pic added

 

[Var]

Its fancy and nice and easy to type. That new pic is the best of the three

 

[Var]

I still have a comment remaining for the week. Better be nice or I'll make it REALLY naughty.

Todays workout KICKED MY ASS!!! I'm assuming its because I supersetted the first two exercises, but it had to be done. I noticed a pretty substantial drop in strength when doing the supersets.

Wide-Grip Pull-downs->Barbell Row (supersets):
6x160->9x155/6x140->5x175/6x140->6x155/6x140->6x155
Seated Leg Curls: 9x165/7x195/6x195/6x195
Barbell Curls (straight bar): 6x85/5x85/6x75/6x75
Hammer Cable Curls: 9x60/8x60/7x60/9x50
Seated Calf Raises: 9x90/7x100/7x100/7x100
Barbell Shrug: 9x225/6x245/8x225/6x225

Workout time: 60 mins

Looks good var but your not supposed to superset the same muscle group! Superset Pull-downs w/ leg curls or something but not 2 back exercises.

don't you hate when you only get 5 reps and you know your supposed to have 6! I keep doing that.

 

[Var]

I know, I know, but my gym is full of meatheads who will jump in your place if you let them. Had to do exercises that were in sight of each other at all times. I'm gonna try to do it right next time.

 

[Triple Threat]

Rock is right. Try to combine different body-parts. And they don't have to be done one right after the other. A short (10, 15, 20) second pause between sets is OK if meatheads are in your way.

Also, an occasional set of 5 isn't the end of the world. Just make sure to lower the weight for the next set.

Var, where are you working out?

I have the exact same problem (meatheads jumping in your place). As soon as you get up you can expect the bench or equipment you were using will be snatched. I'm still gonna try to figure out some supersets that aren't too far away from eachother location wise b/c it looks like that'll be the only way to go soon.

 

[Var]

Hey Capt and Nike! Thanks for the feedback. I'm definitely gonna try to do the supersets properly. I was just doing what I could today to cut down the workout time. I had to ask two people to get off the equip I was using (even though I had a shirt over it).

Capt: I work out at World Gym Seekonk. Where do u workout?

 

[Triple Threat]

I go to the Newport Athletic Club, except when I'm working in Spain when I go to el gimnasio Apollo.

 

[Var]

Do u live in Newport?

 

[Triple Threat]

I live in Portsmouth. There aren't too many options for working out down here. There's the NAC or the YMCA.

 

[Var]

Nice down there!

 

[PreMier]

Nice workout Var! I cant understand how you put up with people taking your equipment... If this happens to me I calmly say "GET THE FUCK OFF MY SHIT MAN!!!" While frothing at the mouth

 

[CourtQueen]

And you seemed like such a nice boy....

 

[Var]

I basically did the same thing PreMier. I have a bad attitude when people are out of line. One of the guys I approached today just grunted at me and walked away. Really pissed me off!

Oh, I am "nice" which sucks a lot of the time. Because well, nice gets you no where.

The gym is different, it is my away time, and I am there same time everyday. When someone new comes and invades my turf, ITS ON!

Todays workout was great!!! I had the best pump I've had in my whole life! The only problem is that I've noticed a considerable drop in strength the past two days. I'm thinking of getting less conservative with my bulk, and upping the cals significantly. I'm going to shoot for 7-8 meals a day, still using slow burners, except for the meal I eat after my post workout shake. May go with WW pasta for that meal. Still loving this workout. Body comp changes have been noticeable.

Barbell Squats: 9x225/6x245/6x245/6x225
Quad Extensions: 7x180/8x160/6x160/6x160
Incline Barbell Press: 8x135/4x155/6x135/6x135
Cable Crossovers: 9x160/6x160/8x120/7x120
Military Dumbbell Press: 6x55's/5x55's/6x50's/6x50's
Close-Grip Bench Press: 9x135/7x135/6x135/6x135
V-bar Press-downs: 9x65/6x70/6x70/6x70

Workout: 70 mins

 

[Rocco32]

Does look like a great workout. How long'd it take ya? When I went to 2x a day my strength went back up some, that was a good feeling, though my arms are getting screwed up again .

 

[PreMier]

Nice workout Var! I am only on day 4 and already need to start dropping some weights
