My combining of letters to form improper words? Lol an odd qualification…

Great chest day (though was simultaneously Retard day in the gym), really felt some fantastic contractions.

Incline DB press (began the workout very annoyed at having to constantly walk around some Dumbfuck sitting on a bench a foot away from the 100+ db area with 30s in his hands)- 15/45 15/65, 12/85, 12/105, 8/120, 6/140

Dips- 8/+25, 8/+45, 8/+70, 7/+90, 5/+115

Had the picture of the perfect wallpaper today. 4 racks, right next to each other, all “in use.” The first, a smith cage, had a probably 170lb little queerosexual doing squats with 10total plates (500lbs). However, he was performing these on a Fitness ball which was held by a upside down platform. So essentially, he was bouncing up and down on a ball. He figured that he could simply perform 500lb squats and not have a breath out of place, that Herculean dumbass.

Next to him was the Squat rack. On it, you have a sickly looking, 60yr old women trainer having one (of many) of her obese female clients doing angled pushups on the bar sitting on the bottom part of the rack, WHILE also having her superset “up downs” on the deadlift platform to the right. She actually turned a gentleman away who wanted to squat in the rack, “we’ll be done in a few minutes!”

AND finally, the half rack, sitting between the Squat rack and the deadlift platform, was some <150lb schmo doing “Roll your shoulder” shrugs with a whopping 20lbs on a bar.

I sat back, seeing many of my options being wasted by these…imbeciles would be a nice way to put it, and i thought to myself id love to just take a picture of this, and create a wallpaper- ‘This is what you DONT do in a gym.’

People…ugh…

Lame as hell… be careful though you might get flamed for calling out retards at the gym :wink:

Did a weight check today, sitting at 235. Also did a little photo analysis. I dunno if any of you recall, but a little while ago, i mentioned i had some decent weight gain, and i can attribute a good portion of that to my back. Turns out i was right lol.

and one more. Hard as hell to get a good shot + good posing in my situation =\

Oh well.

Bit better shot actually-

Tensed upper back:

And flared lats:

I know its still not that great, but eh…

So i thought to myself that ive been neglecting Legs. I said i was only skimming the surface, that ive been pussyfooting around for the last several leg days, and it needed to change-

Pre-exhaust
2 legged leg ext
1 Legged leg ext
2 legged prone leg curls
1 legged prone leg curls
All supersetted- 10/50x3

Box squats- 15/135, 12/225, 8/315, 8/405, 6/455, 3/495

Sumo Squats- 8/135, 8/225, 8/315, 5/405 (stopped here since i couldnt get into a smith/had no spotter, and i was losing it)

Leg ext- 15/90, 15/130, 12/170, 8/210

Hip ABD/ADD superset- 20/60, 20/80, 15/100

And im spent. Hobbled my ass out of the gym at the end of it all, dowsed in sweat, hair drooping over my eyes, head down, eyes glazed over. im not going to lie and say it felt good, but it felt right. The beauty of it all…Masochism…and that’s what this is, a constant uphill climb- an upward, 90degree vertical scale, with no equipment, bloody fingertips, sheets of ice, frigid pelting hail, and a 200lb weight hanging from your hips. And every time you reach a new plateau, it simply enables you to see the next hill. “then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, is just a freight training coming your way…”

Well, did some looking over of the journal, and figured i had some space to test something. SO, today, i went in for a Bi/Tri day, as they both felt pretty much fine.

BB curl- 15/bar, 12/65, 8/95, 8/135, 8/155

Tomahawks- 15/50, 12/70, 10/80

Arms are pretty damn pumped. Felt good.

BB tri press - is this a close grip bench press?

Yep. Done just about every Tri day. Normally just labeled as ‘BB press.’

That leg day sounds absolutely brutal. Always good when you get those total blast days (other than the old man walking for the next few days, ha!). Great work in here, dude.

Chest-

Decline BB- 15/135, 12/225, 8/275, 8/315, 8/365, 6/405

Flat fly- 8/35, 8/50, 8/65, 8/80

Incline press- 8/85, 8/105, 8/120, 3/140 (crapped out quick on this)

Cable fly- 8/50, 8/70, 8/90

Standing calf- 15/300, 15/405, 15/495, 12/495+2P, 10/495+4p

Seated calf- 15/3P, 12/5P, 10/7P

I think starting with standing and giving it a bit more focus than usual really through my calves for a loop, and they felt pretty banged up afterwards. I might start alternating every other week on starting with seating/standing.

Back/bi

1H cable curl Low- 12/40, 12/60, 10/80

DB preacher close- 8/30, 8/35, 8/40

Well, that test i did a few days ago with the arm day made my bis really not feel ready today. The back workout went great, and they felt wrecked when it came time for bis, but i just didnt feel the Bi movements, as my bis still had a twinge from before. Oh well, had to test multi muscle sessions in a week sometime.

DTT

DB military press= 15/35, 15/55, 12/85, 8/115, 5/130

Cable laterals SS with Bells- 8/30, 8/40, 8/50, 8/60

Cable X’s 8/30, 8/40 (wasnt feeling these today, so ended it there and gave a different rear delt movement a shot).

Skiiers- 8/30, 8/40, 8/50, 8/60

Leaning Overhead Cable ext (done with a straight bar)- 15/50, 12/80, 8/110 (prob with these is i lose the ability to position myself with the weight before my tris give out, so i couldnt go further, even though i knew i could. Damn everyone using EVERYTHING i wanted).

Overhead DB Arc- 8/35, 8/45, 8/55

Decline BB tri press (always wanted to try these decline, so i did. Felt pretty good, though a little awkward at first)- 15/135, 12/225, 8/275, 8/315, 5/365

Low to high Rope overhead ext (Rope, set to the bottom pulley, brought overhead, extended and pulled apart)- 15/50, 12/80, 10/110, 8/140. I liked these

Had to skip traps today due to circumstances. Oh well. Totally hungry now, so off to prepare some food. Steak and sweet potatoes INC!

Yes, havent been able to update for a few as was studying for finals. BUT, i have return!

Ahh legs.

Box squats- 15/135, 12/225, 8/315, 8/405, 5/455, 2/495

Sumo squats- 8/135, 8/225, 8/315- capped it here as i was not feeling these today.

Romanian Deadlifts- 8/135, 8/185, 8/225, 6/275-wanted to do more, but i left my straps in the car and my finger tips werent feeling so hot with all the swaying lol

Machine hack squats- 8/8P, 8/12P, 8/16P, 4/20P

leg ext- 10/110, 10/150, 8/190, 8/230

Legs feel pretty squishy now…gonna go ahead and continue enjoying my halibut…which tastes mighty excellent with some homemade sun dried tomato/basil hummus…Mmmm

Incline DB press- 15/40, 12/70, 12/100, 8/120, 5/140

Flat fly- 8/30, 8/40, 8/50 (stopped here. Kinda pinched something in my neck)

Dips (wanted to do a bit of a higher reps/lower weights just because getting up to the 3 plates area is kinda develop a pain in my palms, possibly cuz i suicide grip it. Oh well, it felt good)- 15/bw, 12/+25, 10/+45, 8/+70, 8/+90

Ruhls- 12/30, 12/40, 12/50, 10/60, 10/70

Floor press (did a whole lot of grip fiddling here, kinda just experimenting)- 10/135x3

Standing calf- 15/300, 15/405, 15/495, 12/495+2P, 8/495+4P

Seated calf- 15/2P, 15/4P, 10/6P, 10/4P, [10/2P, 10/2p, 10/1P]. The sets in brackets were a bit special. I wanted to try and up my calf work, but not get much heavier with seated, so i started supersetting Wide stance and Close stance raises, with minimal rest between sets. So each of the Bracketed sets is 2 sets.

Feeling decent right now. Adjusting some numbers in my diet, looking to drop a little bit more. Sitting at a pretty decent 235 atm, and muscle are looking pretty decent. Started instituting some cardio. Hoping for the best.
