Fuck that Live in 2 years your bench/squat will def be better than that, have some confidence bro =]
Today’s Chest/Bi/Tri 2
DB Incline : 100s x 7 drop 80s x 12
Smith Low Incline : 245 x 7
*Suicide grip, still getting used to this.
Incline DB Curls : 40s x 6 drop 30s x 6
*These feel way way better than most other bicep exercises I’ve tried, definitely gunna keep them in for a while.
DB Concentration Curl: 75 x 12 per side
Smith CGBP (Elbows tucked) : 285 x 9 drop 225 x 7
PJR : 115 x 8
*I got 9 last week…I felt on track to get at least 10-11 today but on the 8th rep I brought the DB back almost like a strait arm and had to correct it while it was behind my head as I was bringing it back up…basically it fucked me up and killed my strength. Pissed me off, but the session was very good overall.
Lol so fuck deadlifts… My form sucks so bad, it just turns into a SLDL. Not worth it IMO, I got my back big without them and I’ll continue to do so.
Deadlift (quickly turned into a hamstring exercise rofl)
15x135
12x225
10x315
8x405
6x500
4x545
Not pleased with those numbers at all.
Anyways, I’m going to take some pre cycle photos monday and then I’ll take some in 12 weeks when everything is completed. It will be cool to see the comparison.
DB Flat Bench
80x21
BB Standing Mil. Press
125x10
CGBP
165x16 (Kinda pathetic, had to ask a random for a spot, he didn’t understand “slight lift off”. It kinda fucked up my tuck. O well)
Tri-Pushdown w/ W-Bar
190x14 (That’s the whole stack! Wooo!)
Bent Over BB Rows ala Pendlay style
175x12
Pretty good session overall. I progressed on every lift today, and have been for the past 3 weeks. I keep pushing myself w/o a lifting partner which is odd. I usually start to slack w/o a partner, but lately I’ve been pretty self motivated. I’m liking this kill the world mentality I have been hitting the gym with. I hope it stays like this!
Josh: 75lb db’s for concentration curls? That’s fucking mammoth, unless I’m thinking of something else… Either way, cheers!

You’re doing DC, right? I ask because it doesn’t look like you are doing Rest Pause. Is there a reason (just getting into the program before RPing, for instance)?
DB bench, BB Mil. Press, CGBP, and Tri-Pushdown were all RP sets, I just didn’t label them as RP. The Bent Over Rows were SS. Guess I could label them so I don’t look too retarded. Ha!

Ahh ok. For the BB militaries, bump them up. Easier progression and probably safer for the shoulders (won’t be trying to get 1 or 2 reps on the last set).
Back thickness usually gets two sets; one about 5-8 or 4-6, 6-9, whatever, the other about 9-12.
Oh and about your new hunger in the gym despite going solo - DC tends to do that to you =)
Nothing like having that log book to account for, and the consequences of not beating it.

How you gonna rag on Det for using the wrong form of hungry, then later use the wrong form of new?
fucking north easterners
anyway, started the day with morning cardio, back felt like shit. I was working stock today at work, and lifting boxes and shit and constantly bending over, and now 9 hours later my back feel almost perfect. I love when shit just works itself out.

You mean to lower weight and increase reps for the militaries? Last week was 115 for 14, I went up this week. Looking back I should have stayed with the same weight and went for reps.
I guess I missed the two sets on back thickness. Although I have been doing two sets at the 5-8 rep range for Deads but, not the others. I’ll adjust my weights and reps for those from now on. I think I’ll feel better with two sets on back thickness exercises too.
Thanks heaps for the tips!
If I told you all how long I’ve been lifting weights I’d be shunned from this website with pitch forks and torches…
So instead I’ll say that I’m about ready to down 20 fried fish sticks, half a gallon of milk, a bag of Cheetos, and a whole tray of danish.
For all of you pics or it didn’t happen crowrd…here you go.
lol I’m jealous of your metabolism. Those danish things are fucking awesome. Any of you guys ever had Cringle? By far my favorite desert ever.

I believe its recommended that BB military gets something like 11-20, or 15-20 perhaps. I could be wrong but it’s definitely higher than 10 RP.
Btw, for back thickness exercises that are chest supported, or seated rows for instance, those can be RPed because there is little risk to the lower back.

Thanks, I remember reading that low risk back thickness exercises can be RP’d. Unfortunately I don’t have any chest supported back thinkness exercises in this routine. That’ll be the first thing I change if I hit any progression walls.
And yeah, I definitely feel better when the reps are in the 15 rep range for BB Militaries. Ego got the best of me. After that set of 10 I dropped to 95lbs and knocked out about 5 more for good measure.
Thanks again.

No problem. I usually can’t go up 10lb on pressing movements. It’s prety much 5lb each time for me.
Only exceptions are leg and back exercises, for me at least.
first day back yesterday from injury and minor surgery and felt pretty damn good
rack pulls (below the knee) warm ups, then 4 x 12 @ 140kg
bb rows 4 x 12 @ 90kg
bb high pulls from pins just above the knee, 5 x 5 60kg
bb seated military, 4x 12 @ 80kg
bench press 4 x 10 100kg
decline bb press 3 x 20 @ 60kg
