MONDAY'S TRAINING Barbell Preacher Curls Worked up to 95 x 12 + 4 + 3 Hammer Curls Worked up to 45s x 9 + 4 + 2 Seated Calf Raise Worked up to 75x11 (with the nasty 15s pause in the stretch position) Lying Leg Curls (toes pointed) Worked up to 140 x 12 + 6 + 6 Full Squats Worked up to 350 x 1, then 315x5, then 190x19 That last set was brutal. When I was at 13 I was telling myself to just stop at 15. But if you hit 15, you have to go for 20, and if you hit 18, you know you can get 20. But I was teetering on the 18th and getting light headed. I did 19, thought about 20 for about 20 seconds and... read more 1 comments

SATURDAY'S TRAINING Incline Bench Press Worked up to 250x9 + 3 + 1 Military Press Worked up to 165 x11 + 4 + 2 Lying Triceps Extensions Worked up to 90 x 8 + 3 + 2 (lost some ground on this exercise) Rack Pull Ups Worked up to BW x 10 + 4 + 4 Corner Rows I skipped these this workout. Not a bad workout, not a great workout either. The focus just wasn't in the workout today. Saturday was still a fun time in the gym as Noel was in town for the weekend and she and Laura (my wife) were going to do some heavy deadlifting. Noel had basically strained her neck in Thursday's training session but she spent an hour with my ART guy on Friday night... read more 0 comments

I forgot to post up Thursday's workout: THURSDAY'S TRAINING Barbell Curls Worked up to 105x10 +3 + 3 One-arm Cable Reverse Curls Worked up to 20x14,14 Calf Press in Leg Press Worked up to 285x11 (I do a 15s pause in the stretch on every rep here. Try it. LOL) Hamstring Leg Press Worked up to 545x15 These are simply done with only the lower part of your foot on the platform. So your toes, etc. are off the platform and you're concentrating on driving through your heels. Great exercise. Leg Press Worked up to 720x10 (8 plates per side) And then dropped down to 515 for a set of 20. My leg gains continue to come at a good rate. read more 0 comments

So another day, another workout. I'm still struggling to get all my food in. I'm generally a meal behind every day. I need to get up earlier. Low incline Bench Press Worked up to 250 x 10 + 2 + 2 Machine Shoulder Press Worked up to 130 x 12 + 4 + 3 Close-grip Bench Press (I never have any triceps strength left at this point). Worked up to 165 x 10 + 4 + 2 Hammer Pulldowns Worked up to 225 x 11 + 5 + 3 Barbell Rows from the floor Worked up to 195x11 I tend to be a people watcher in the gym. I enjoy my time between sets when doing heavy work since it allows me the opportunity to sit, rest and watch what people... read more 0 comments
