Fucking snow, gonna trek up the hill on foot and hit some cardio and abs in the apartment complex gym because I have a pass code for it, its worthless for a workout, but Ill get chest/lats in tomorrow.
God I hate cardio, so of course I was blessed with the genetics where its required when gaining if I wanna stay tight enough to show results. No more then twice week though, wish it would warm up so I could just go run the UC stadium, being on a treadmill/crosstrainer makes me wanna jump off a cliff.

Dude learn how to rope jump…it’s fun and you can do it inside/at the gym.
I did a hamstring/quad session today. I was given a lower body that grows rather quickly so I can choose whether or not to train them altogether. Went pretty good. Hit hamstrings pretty hard and didn’t get stupid on the SLDLs. Nice and smooth. Hit the leg press and did a few light sets working up to 8 plates per. I usually follow this up with some Smith front squats. I only work up to 225 (180 or whatever) for 12-15. First few sets went well but when I got both coins up on the bar it started getting dizzy. No wanting to push it any further, I racked my bar and unloaded. I figure I became dehydrated and by defaulted sabotaged my own performance. Better luck in 2 weeks when I hit them again.
my shoulder started to hurt a bit everytime i ended a set and put the bar down but it wasnt bad or anything. Also decided i love working out at 12:30am
Sumo Deads: 315x3. Not a huge lift but my first time repping 3 plates so it’s big for me
Also hit a PR on the T-bar row but I can never figure out how much weight those are exactly.
Good back/bi session today, highlights were 365x10 on BB rows, followed by 315x15 (315 wasn’t quite a PR, but considering the previous set…), and 80’sx8 per arm on DB curls.
Also hit 425x15 on shrugs; once again, not quite a pr, but pretty close, especially since I was kinda tired from the rows. Keep hitting those PRs guys.

Jesus Hungry4more. Not sure I wanna post my sessions numbers now after those you just threw up on back/bi’s.
My shoulder is now bothering me, along with my already messed up AC joint along with occasional elbow annoyance.
Chest- Decline dumbell press 100’s x 6 (shitty hand position for wrist)
Flat dumbell 100x4 (shoulder started feeling shitty)
Decline close grip bench partial range- worked up too 205x10
Short straight bar curls- 115x3 PR 100x7
OH 2 hand Dumbell extension: 75x8 95x8
Pinwheel curls: 60x8 or 9
Facepulls couple sets
then did some front raises with 30’s to see how they felt with the delt.[/quote]
Hey don’t feel bad man, it’s rough trying to be strong in the military. As of right now I weigh in at 20 lbs over my max weight limit haha, but I easily tape within standards, so no problems. But running’s a bitch when you start packing on mass, especially at 5’7".

Do you do these Yates style or more bent over? [/quote]
Yates’ style for sure. I touch my belly button area on each rep. I feel it more that way, and have gotten much better results.

10x Fuck, felt a twinge and a sharp pain in the left pec, still sore now three hours later. Same injury that had me out of any chest work for 2 months, initially got it from incline benching.

Really had to protect the chest here. Have been doing pin presses from chest height lately, and wanted to try some freeweight to see where it was compared to deadstop.
Much harder to keep form tight on freeweight cbgps, like the deadstop much better.

Holy sheeeit that burned for 15 minutes. Love em.
DB Inclines
20x15
24x15
30x15
Some light pressing, very little pain compared to bar presses. I’ll stick to DBs for now, sucks that my gym only has up to 40 kg DBs though, any ideas on how to add some weight to them`?
DB Bench
45s x 10
60s x 6
90s x 6
95s x 6
100s x 6
105s x 6
110s x 6
Also, gave using the smith machine for close-grip bench partials a whirl. I have to say my triceps felt like they were going to explode. I put the stops maybe half way down in my bench motion then Id go from a dead stop off the stops. Seems like itll be nice addition to my workouts. The rest of my workout was pretty standard issue though.
