done. now you need to let it grow to your toes :P[/quote]

I knew there was a reason I liked you! (Besides being french).

You’re awesome!

Quick shoulder session today.

Diet called for eating as much as possible over the weekend. Felt like a bloated pig this morning.

A. Reverse Machine Flyes - 5 x 12 x 105
B. Bent Over DB Laterals - 5 x 12 x 20lb’rs
C. Millies - 4 x 10 x 95lbs **Thank you to whomever’s log had the ‘Tuck your elbows’ advice. Worked wonders
D. VWG SM Presses - 3 x 30 x 105 **BURN!!
E. Standing DB Laterals - 6 x 8 x 25lb’rs
F. Lean Away DB Laterals - 3 x 12 x 20lb’rs

Shoulders were FULL o blood at the end. Hard. To. Drive. Home.

Went for a massage later tonight.

Total leg massage and she killed me. I’m not sure how such a little lady can produce so much force but I didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. Apparently I have some inflammation in my right leg (mostly in the hip flexor, quad and some in the glute med). Supposed to have an epsom salt bath.

Day off tomorrow.

Going here http://www.harboursixty.com/ for dinner and then going to the Leaf-Coyotes hockey game.

Shouldnt of looked at the website…checked out the food and Im gonna tear off my leg and eat it.

Had an awesome time at the hockey game. Demolished a porterhouse prior to the game. Some asparagus and a Spinach/Arugula salad.

It was awesome!

Was really looking forward to hitting the weights today.

A. WG Pullups
4 x 5/5 --5 regular followed by 5 assisted (15lbs)
B. SG Deadlifts
10 x 135/185/235
8 x 285
6 x 335
12 x 285
C. WG Pulldowns
4 x 8 x 165
D. Yates Rows
4 x 12 x 135 --awesome movement today. Lats felt totally pumped
E. DB Pullovers
3 x 12 x 85lbs

Finished with standing and seated calves.

Bad ass!!! I’m gonna take that if you don’t mind.

Good luck with your moosetash. You look almost exactly like the only body builder I know in real life, only difference is he has the hair loss condition so he’s completely bald naturally. (I know what it’s called but can’t spell it and don’t want to look anymore ignorant than usual)

I totally agree but it would have been way more hardcore if he was pulling more than 315.

Is that really all it is? I never can tell with those bumper plates.

Joe, you’re hardcore! :slight_smile:

It looks like 405 to me (1 wheel and 3 bumpers) but it could be 195 for all we know. :slight_smile:

PS: Love upper back DOMS, HATE lower back DOMS. I have both today! I’m going to keep SG Dead’s in the back routine for a while and eventually go to a deficit on them to see what kinda chiseling I can do to my back.

Chest night.

Decided to give some BP some attention.

A. Ghetto Fat Bar Bench EDIT: Forgot that I used Fat Gripz on all my pressing
5 x 95/135/185
3 x 205
1 x 225/245
0 x 255

Not bad. I think it’s been 2 years since I’ve done 245.

B. HS Decline
4 x 12 x 2pps+25 **strength is CLIMBING

C. SM Incline
1st set - 12 reps to failure. For me this was @ 165
2nd set - Massive Drop set - Basically a huge RP set where I just stripped 20lbs off the bar after I hit failure at that weight. So basically it was:
AMAP x 165/145/125/105/85/65

D. Cable Flyes
Bunch x lightweight

Finished with some ab wheel rollout (4 x 15)

Had V-ball tonight (that was my cardio --although it wasn’t much of a session tonight).

Great work.

Thanks for the tips on Fat Gripz. I should get them on Tues and I’ll definitely keep your suggestions in mind as I add them into my programming. I’m thinking that I’ll just put them into pressing at first then slowly add them into pull ups.

Thanks James.

Yeah. You’ll throw them into a pulling movement and feel a crazy pump in your arms and want to keep them in the routine but your elbows will eventually say ‘Hey! Stop!’.

You’ll love them on the presses.

Felt like another thought of the day. This time a video.

Hey ddot! Great log you got here! (was about to say mustache btw, lol)

Lots of excellent training, and I love your “thoughts of the day” :slight_smile:

I’ll definitely be following along!

Also, and just because I haven’t been officially creepy in your log yet, i love your Avi! Talk about chiseled. Yeesh!

Hey Maschy! Thanks for stopping by. The log is MUCH better than the MO. You look just as chiselled in your avi.

Tonight was the “Gun Show”.

Need to bring up my triceps brachii so I’ll be experimenting until I find something I can really feel/helps grow the tri brachii. (Feel free to offer suggestions)

Some rope pressdowns and NG/UG Chins to warm up the tri/bi’s.

A. SM JM Press
A bunch x bar/95 to get right groove.
2 x 12 x 135
4 x 10 x 145

B. Decline DB Extensions
4 x 6 x 40lb’rs --DB’s to ears

C. HS Machine Dips w/ 5 sec negative
3 x 8 x 2pps+25

D. Rope Pressdowns
Giant drop set from 47.5 down to 27.5 – Maybe 50 reps?

E. Fat Gripz BB Curl
3 x 6 x 85lbs

F. CG EZ Bar Preacher Curls
1 x 12 x 75lbs
6 x 75/65/55/45 **one drop set

G. Pronated DB Kick Backs w/ pause
2 x 12 x 20lb’rs

Arms are swole. Started using MAG-10 PoWo this week. Definitely feel a little more swole PoWo this week.

Tomorrow is Cardio and Foam Rolling.

Im feeling these thoughts of the days kinda like our own powerful words in the Over the hill forum noyce.

For the next time you just can’t grind that PR up…

love the motivational pieces.

Great video. Love the motivational stuff.

I really need to just add an arm day if I can take lifting five times a week.
