Thanks bud. Most people tell me my main problem is not being able to chill[/quote]

I always thought that a short fuse is a good thing to have when you’re lifting :slight_smile:

What do you do when you miss a lift? You have piqued my interest.

8/30/11

Chins 2x+70
T-Bar 6x6plates
Flat DB Bench elbow flared up around the 100’s so I cut it
HS Chest
Cable Flies

Really quick session but I hit it hard. This was after PT, and this is gonna be the regular schedule. The t-bars were strict so they were hard. Oh, I weigh about 180 now and it’s my 20th birthday today.

Thanks bud. I was heavier in that pic, but I’m about the same size now, just leaner. Still nowhere near lean, but closer.

Happy birthday dude! 180 and you are so strongz!

Haha dude’s got jokes.

Trap Bar Deadlift 1x605 PR
DB Hammer Curl 10x85 PR
Cable Curl 6 sets

First time using the trap bar in like 3 months. The 605 was easy and I’ll get more here in the near future. Once again, this was after PT, so a little tired. The hammer curls were a nice pr as well. I might get some videos for you in a while.

Damn man… “easy 605”?? Fuuuuuuuuuuh

Trap pulls are deceptively high in weight. But the fact that this was easy is a good indicator for my bb deadlift.

9/2/11

Push Press 1x215 PR
DB Side Raises 6 sets
BB Shrugs 10x495
CG Pulldown 5 sets
WG Cable Row 4 sets
WG Chins 3 sets

Haven’t pushpressed in a while, and the 215 was pretty easy. Everything else was just getting work in. Tweaked my left lat on the cable rows.

Haven’t posted in a while, so here’s a couple of days worth of stuff. No video, been too busy to deal with shit like that. Who’d have thunk accounting and ROTC would take up a lot of time?

9/4/11

Back Squat 1x385 easy
CS Leg Press 2ppsx30, 3ppsx30, 3ppsx30
CG Bench 0x275 just missed it
Y pushdown 5 sets
OH Rope Ext 3 sets

Squat was easy. Bench was stupid to go for that, but almost had it.

9/5/11

Deadlift 1x550 PR
WG Pulldown 15x70, 15x110, 12x150, 10x190, 5.5x220
Standing DB Curl 8x20, 8x35, 5x45, 7x55 PR
OH Cable Curl 25x45, 20x60, 20x75, 15x90, 14x90
HS Shrug 15x3pps, 15x4pps, 15x5pps, 15x6pps

Weighed in around 180, so finally got the triple bodyweight pull. Time to be a bit more intelligent in my top sets.

9/6/11

Seated Shoulder Press 5x190 PR
L-Raise 15x10, 15x20, 15x30, 9x40
DB Front Raise 8x25, 8x40, 8x55
Face Pull 25x45, 25x60, 25x75
Standing Calves 3x15x90
Seated Calves 15x45, 15x90

Pretty cool to press more than bodyweight for reps. I have pretty good calves, so I haven’t trained them in forever. Going to change that, and started back slow today. Also had a PT test today, but I could only complete the pushups. Cadre graded us really strict, so I just barely maxed. I had to get taped as usual, but got a bit of a PR there haha, 16.5inch neck. Now that I’m training my traps again, I’m hoping to put more size on. Should be funny when I show up next test with a 17inch neck haha.

Lots of stuff, sorry for the lack of posting; school is actually difficult.

Awesome work man! Pulling 3xBW is no joke.

9/7/11

Squat 3x365 easy
Leg Ext. 20x80, 20x120, 20x150, 20x175
Y-Pushdown 20x75, 20x90, 20x105, 20x120, 15x135, 10x150
OH Cable Ext 15x60, 15x75, 12x90, 11x90
1-arm RC Pushdown 15x30, 14x30

The leg ext were pretty killer. Lots of tricep volume trying to bring them up. Squats were the best they’ve been in a while. Not a pr, but good form and still heavy. In a week or so, prs should flow forth.

Thanks bud, you’re doing pretty damn well.
