X~Factor Journal (4/1/2011)

You are supposed to pyramid up. However I do not follow the EXACT suggested weight given on the website, I don't want to shuffle around 2.5-lb plates, but I do follow what the main heavy weight poundages is supposed to be.
 
what do they say you're supposed to go up by? is there a specific reason they give?
 
12.5%. Here's a little bit more info...

Madcow 1x5, A1 R2

175 x 5
185 x 5

RDL (heavy)
185 x 5
225 x 5

***2 reps short. Didn't try to push it today.
 
I never really go that heavy anymore on RDL's, I tend to lose the movement if I go too heavy and I feel it less in my hamstring and mainly my back!
 
I feel GM's more in my hammies than RDL's.

You killed it on the RDL's there X, great job.
 
Good news: Started a new job. Yay for me. :)
Bad news: Stressing trying to learn quickly

Went back to gym tonight but too stressed to concentrate on what I was doing... I might have to drop the Madcow program and just take it easy for a while. Just do light weights, just to keep in shape in general and go on maintenance mode or something.

Yay to you FOR SURE! Right now, the new job has got to be the priority. Once you start getting comfortable, then you can start placing more focus on your workout program. On the other hand is two workouts during the work week, and then Sat and Sun out of the question?

I'm thinking Wednesday, Friday, Sunday schedule.

A distribution manager. :winkfinger:

Your a manager now, so you should have plenty of energy and rest for your workouts. You do realize once your management you aren't allowed to use common sense anymore?:roflmao:

But in seriousness congrats on the new job, switching to a maintenance program is a good idea so your not adding stress beyond adapting to the new place. :winkfinger:
 
^Thanks Dave! I'm really happy and excited about landing this one.

Exactly what I was thinking. Can't really concentrate. I keep thinking about how I can run the place more efficiently. Funny thing about the person I'm replacing, more than half of what he's doing throughout the day is clerical work, not exactly managerial stuff.

drug dealer? lol
Nope. I do that on the side. :roflmao:

Been there, done that.

I have the title still but nobody to manage except myself. :roflmao:

Little Advice:
You need to take it easy and learn what was done and then bring in the changes, or you'll end up fighting an uphill battle. I know it's hard as hell to do but it'll make it easier for you.

Have a great weekend and take some time to relax.

This is exactly the same advice I got from the person that hired me. :winkfinger:

Deload day?? Why only 1 set?
Yeah, I guess you could say a deload workout. But those sets I posted are the main sets. I do 2 or 3 other sets leading up to that weight.

I try. I just don't have enough energy during the week. Maybe because I skip on Jack3d because it's so late in the day when I go hit the gym. I'm thinking of switching to Push/Pull/Leg workout, scheduling Leg on a weekend when I have a full energy and I can take my pre-workout drink. I hate sucking at squats, specially at the beginning of my workout.
