Oscillation Point's Training Log

Training Logs
1

Greetings fellow Training loggers,
I’ve been lurking on this forum for quite some time and decided to start a training log in order to track and organize my workouts and progress.

Some basic info:
Currently sitting at 5’8 165 lbs (lolz manlet swole 150lber status) at around 15ish % bodyfat or so. I haven’t actually taken the measurement, just estimating based on looks. I’ve been training consistently for about 10 months although I’ve been training on and off since January 2012.

Today’s arm workout (I rarely work arms by themselves, but they are a weak point and I must prioritize them):

Long warm up consisting of:

Neutral grip pullups
-BWx15
-BWx10
Dips
-BWx25

EZ bar curls (assuming the bar weighs 15lbs)
-65x10
-85x8
-105x5
-135x5

DB Alt Curls
-30sx10 LR
-40sx10 LR
-45sx8 LR
-50sx8 LR

Weighted Dips
-BWx50
-BW+45 x 10
-BW+90 x 6
-BW+115 x 5
-BWx40+ lost count at this point

Then some various cable bicep stuff just for teh pumpz.

Good job on that, you probably shaked all your body holding this. Hook grip?

9

Nah man I used an over under grip with chalk and a belt. I can’t seem to get the hang of hook grip. I have these weird clubbed thumbs that I can’t tuck under my fingers. I’m probably doing it wrong anyway haha.

10

Gym weight: 165 lbs (I am aware there are teenage girls heavier than me).

Was temped to skip the gym today due to fatigue and shit sleep. Decided to lay down a cup of coffee and 5g of creatine around 7pm and got my grind on. Today was a shoulder/abs. Had more calories in me this time around (choked down 2 protein bars around 4pm).

Overhead Press: Started with external rotations, arm circles, other rotator cuff stuff for warmup

Gym needs heavier dumbellz

Then I did this superset of partial laterals with constant tension, front raises, clean and press X 3. Was absolutely brutal, started with 12.5s, 17.5s, and finished with 20s. Couldn’t even press the 20s lololz.
