I had a traning log before, but I stopped lifting weights after the first two months so I just figured I’d make a new one now and totally start over.
The reason I stopped working out is because I have Crohn’s disease and I had a flare up and I couldn’t have made any progress anyways as I wasn’t even absorbing any nutrients.
I’m going to try getting pictures soon as well so I can see how much I grow.
Today:
Day 2-Arms
1-arm db curl 3x8 30 pounds
incline db curl 3x8 25 pounds
concentration curl 3x8 25 pounds
skullcrushers 3x8 42.5 pounds
overhead db extension 3x8 20 pounds
Today was my first time trying skullcrushers, and I love them.
Why would you devote an entire workout to arms? Try not to work a few small muscle groups one day and work huge ones the next, mix them together so you can have a better overall workout. I personally like my days to be back/triceps, chest/biceps and legs/shoulders… no matter the order of days.

Well, I don’t want to have chest and biceps one day, then back and triceps the next because then my back won’t get worked as hard as it can. So, have back and biceps one day and chest and triceps the next day? Right now I’m doing torso, arms, legs, then torso, arms, legs again and so on.
I was just giving the suggestion to work the bigger muscle groups on seperate days. Working the bi’s and tri’s on the same day is basically futile, essentially you just need to mix different things together so you dont end up out of balance.
Mike you don’t seem to be progressing with your training very much, the only thing I can notice is a 5 lb increase on barbell bench. Force your body to adapt with more weight or reps. 3x8 with 115 on squats might be enough to give your body a reason to grow once, but after that adaptation is made you need another good reason to force adaptation again. 3x8 with 125 or 3x10 with 115, or better yet 3x10 with 125. Force an adaptation and remember if you don’t improve you don’t grow.
