Bug: Killin It

Training Training Logs
881

was feeling “foggy” today but once i got into training, felt great. “cheated” a bit today (ate prob 200g of carbs from fruit snacks and granola bars in the mid afternoon), but w/e, i’ll be ok. had about 1/4 of my regular pre-workout carbs to make up for it (and i was still feeling bloated lololol). Here’s how it went down

Smith squats - I swear I’m stronger on regular squats…
135 x 15
225 x 12
315 x 10
425 x 6 - up 20lbs, deeper, and same amt of reps as last time IIRC.

Leg extensions
150 x 15
210 x 10
250 x 8 drop 150 x 8 drop 90 x a bunch

Leg press w/ 3sec negative
3pps x 15
5pps x 10
7pps x 11 drop 5pps x 10ish drop 3pps x a bunch plus a bunch of partials. agony.

One-legged plate-loaded leg curls
1pps x 10, 10 (LR, LR)
1pps and 25s x 10 drop 1pps x 8ish drop 1plate x 10ish. One drop set per leg (obvi).

One set walking lunges finisher.

Leg press calves, seated calves (2 working sets per).

Then I did some foam rolling, pulldown abs, and 10min cardio. Good day, I’m beat.

I quit reading after that. Did you have a good workout?

884

Dix, don’t knock it till you try it brahhh. But really, like I said before, I’ve never done smith squats before, but they really do hit the quads very nicely, and because my lower back is still fucked from being a drunk idiot a few weeks ago, it’s nice to be able to go heavy on a movement and not have too much LB strain.

By the end of the year I’ll be freesquatting 500 for reps, don’t you worry. (coming for you evan)

lol all jk. I trained with a bodybuilder for a while when I was in college, and we used the smith machine for a bastardized squat to absolutely destroy hamstrings/glutes, so it has its place.

All seriousness, you should do a powerlifting meet. For fun. <3

886

Free squatting 500 for reps huh? Bold. If that happens I will become a depth nazi to make myself feel better.

deat, you are an inspiration for these workouts my dude. you and all the other beasts in the training logs section!

Aqua, you are already bigger and stronger, so w/e. <3

Holy volume on arms today batman (or so it felt). Got to the point on bis where I just couldnt feel my arms anymore. All in all a good day, just followed my training partner along. I was feeling HELLA sluggish and stiff getting in there, everything is sore from this week, yada yada, so I was extra happy to shake off the cobwebs. If I had my choice, I would prob tone down the volume 10-15%, but I’m just going with the flow.

Thorough full-body warmup.

Alternating DB curls
(I did a couple lighter sets on my own to get blood moving)
40s x 14 LR
50s x 12 LR
65s x 7 LR

EZ preacher curls
45lbs x 15
65lbs x 12
85lbs x 9-10ish

plate-loaded seated curl machine thingy - so what he wanted to do was load a 25 per side, keep the non working arm flexed, do 5 reps one side, 5 reps other side, 4 reps, 4 reps, etc etc. Did 3 of those sets.

Then did some 2-armed standing DB curls, 25s for 15 reps dropped to 15s for 10-15 reps, 3 of those.

and THEN another finisher - one-armed preacher machine. god.

Rope pressdowns
7 x 15
11 x 12
stack x 10ish, 10ish

Rope overhead extensions
4 sets with that gnarly pump was painful. stack felt hard as hell.

Assisted pullup machine one-armed pressdown thingy.
3 sets of 12 with the stack (per arm obv).

Then 2 sets of wrist curls on a low cable, one armed at a time, 25 reps.

then 15 min of cardio for me.

god.

Ate shitty saturday and Sunday, feeling pretty gross today, went to the pool to get some sun and enjoy the day. Chest tomorrow. <3

892

god you’re a handsome sonofabitch. Anyway, you’re looking lean and mean, nothing to feel ‘gross’ about. And is that your house? Holy shit…

On a related note, I had a layover in Dallas tonight on my way back home, and holy shit Texas is hot. I mean, I get off the plane, and I’m schvitzing down my lower back in a matter of seconds. WTF.

893

lookin Diesel man… I’m jelly of your tan lol

894

Still disheartening how weak my horizontal pressing is and how bad my stamina is, but a good day with a shitload of pressing motions.

Bench press
135 x 15
185 x 15 - coulda been easier
225 x 10 - wasn’t feeling super strong
275 x 4 - so so
325 x 3+1 - not very pretty reps. i guess I can’t ask for too much more since I haven’t gone this “heavy” in awhile. Still, I should be playing with this. in time…

Incline bench
135 x 20
185 x 18
245 x 4-5 ish - so I didnt wanna be a bitch and use 225 for my top weight so I slapped on some 10s… that was a mistake. 245 felt like a goddamned mack truck. not pretty.

Cybex incline press
2pps x 12
2pps x 12 - adjusted seat, felt better
2pps+25s x 10

Dropset finisher thingy: Pushups with feet elevated to regular pushups to pushups with hands on bench. 3 dropsets… max reps for each. started with like 25/15/7ish to like 12/7/3 on the last one lolz. SO MUCH PRESSIN. When I moved onto pressdowns, my triceps were already hurting (that feeling when you’ve done a lot of pressin, u no).

V-grip pressdowns
8 x 15
11 x 12
14 x 12
stack x 10

V-grip overhead extensons
10 x a bunch
12 x a bunch
(sleeves on) stack x 12ish (felt good with the sleeves) - triceps toast at this point.

2 sets w/ 15s on incline DB skulls, 20 controlled reps as a finisher.

Ab work: incline situps (45 plate on my head, 3 sets of 10), 2 sets of leg raises, 10 reps, with a 12.5, some back extensions.

20 min stepmill cardio, avg. HR ~150BPM.

wut wut.

895

i <3 your calves and ur camo shortz

896

my calves are hyoooooje. <3

897

Great back workout. First time attempting any form of barbell rows in quite awhile and felt great. Felt strong all around. Ran out of gas during biceptz0rz.

Lat pulldowns
100 x 20
150 x 15
200 (stack) x 10
stack+20lbs x 10 - felt strong and in the groove today on these

Barbell rows - so my lowerback has been hurting for awhile now (going on 4 weeks now?), so I’ve avoided anything stressing the lower back. Partner wanted to do some BB rows, so I went with it. He liked staying very upright (yates style) and rowing into the stomach with a strong squeeze. Staying up (and belting up, even from the first set) kept my lower back in a protected position while allowing me to use a decent amount of weight and get a good squeeze. These felt great.
135 x 15
225 x 12
315 x 10

Cybex plate-loaded pulldown - neutral grip. love this movement.
2pps x 12
3pps x 10
4pps x 7ish - never attempted to go that heavy, felt good to put on some viking metal and rip away.

Seated cable rows
3 dropsets:
150 → 100 → 60.
Started with roughly 15 reps → 12 reps → idk… by the 3rd set I was struggling to get 10. Sexy form used with these obvi.

One set of wide-grip straight arm pulldowns, 25 or 30 reps, as a finisher. Tried to do some biceps after but I had no gas left.

Meadows style hammer curls
25 x 20 LR
30 x 15 LR

Incline DB curls - REALLY forced myself back onto the bench, chest up, elbows back and rotated out to put myself at a disadvantageous position. Stretched the SHIT out of my bicep and was very difficult. amazin.
30s x 10, 10, 10

One-armed cable curls finisher, one set (half assed lol).

Skipped cardio. luv.

898

“oh ya i cant bb row 275 anymore”. lies.

great back workout, and your biceps are amazin

899

How could you possibly skip the 10-15 minutes of cardio you sometimes do at the end of your lifting? I am very disappointed in you. You are going to get fat now.

900

Weights are already getting pretty high damn fast man. Can’t wait to see how far you take it. Gonna get some vids for the PR days?
