Nice workouts Spawn...as always!
Enjoying the Holidays, I hope.

**NewSpawn** · 12-28-2005, 12:48 AM

Finally able to get to the gym, i was sure that after a week my lifts would be sad, well to my astonishment they did not. i only worked on chest tonite and am going to work triceps on a different nite. so workout was about an hour but i took my time between sets. i had a good holiday and hope everyone else did also.

Chest

Bench: 205x9, 2x225x7, 2x245x5, 270x2(PB for reps and beat last weeks weight), 225x6, 235x3(slow and strict)
Incline: 225x4, 205x6, 195x8, 185x9

well thats it but i am concentrating on raising my bench and so far although probably unorthodox what i am doing seems to be working, so until i start to stall i will be doing this. I might add in another compound lift to work on chest night any suggestions would be appreciated. hope everyone has a great week.

I am new with iron mass. I'm a 51 yr old man and spent the last 7 yrs in prison. I spent 5 yrs lifting without any workout program. I would like to find a routine that involves weight training mixed with a fair amount of cardio. Could anybody direct me to a routine that fits these requirements?

Dex · 12-28-2005, 11:32 PM

Nice job on the PR Spawn

.. wish that I could have the wisdom to offer up all kinds of
good advice for you. Fact is, there is still alot for me to learn.
Are you wanting #'s or mass?...maybe some of both?
There are alot of different routines/goals covered @ TNation.
A site search brings up all kinds of goodies!

I'd say that for now, "If it ain't broke...don't fix it."
While you are reaping the rewards of this routine, you can check out
what else is out there. When and if you hit a plateau, then you are
geared up and ready to go on another routine.

Hella nice workout Dude.
...congrats on another PR! :clap:

dnyc99 · 12-29-2005, 02:51 AM

**NewSpawn** · 12-30-2005, 02:26 AM

okay shoulders and legs tonight, started my shoulder routine first and went to do my militaries and i felt a little tinge of pain and slight burning sensation between where the deltoid and bicep comes together. so i kept the weight low and did my sets. went to do some side lateral raises with some 25's(low weight to start with) and

OWWWWW. the pain shot through my whole arm, i felt a slight pulling sensation in the above stated region. well D**n, just when things are looking good an injury comes along. i believe i overstressed the area doing biceps last night and may have possibly caused a SMALL tear. It only really hurts though when stress is put on it. so i then accepted the fact and did my leg routine. man i hate when my body slaps me into submission:boink: ! okay anyway heres what i did tonite:

shoulders
Militaries: 4x135x8

Legs

squats(ATF): 185x10, 205x10, 225x10, 245x6
Leg press: 4x340x10(wide foot placement)

yep thats it, will do hammies and calves another day. pitiful but after the injury thing i didn't feel much like pushing it. hope everyone has a great day.

dnyc99 · 12-30-2005, 02:35 AM

Awww sorry to hear that NS.

Hey still a great workout!! :nosthumbs At least you kept on!

Take care of yourself k?

Have a great day tomorrow and hope you feel better real soon.

~D~

dnyc99 · 01-02-2006, 05:29 AM

Happy New Year NS!! Hope it's a fantastic year for you!! :nosthumbs

**NewSpawn** · 01-03-2006, 12:45 AM

okay last week i complained of a possible tear in my bicep/shoulder connection and i didn't lift any after leg day. well over the few days since the pain has gone away and i doubt it was a tear(hurt like hell at the time). i find it hard to believe that it would have healed that quick, must have been a strain. anyway it didn't affect my training tonite at all so i had a pretty good nite. My workout partner came back and that really had my motivation up.

chest
Bench: 205x10, 245x7,265x4,275x1(shoulda gone for 2)
incline: 225x5(inc. of 1 rep), 220x5, 215x6, 205x7

triceps
pushdowns: 4x150x10

bench dips: 2x90x20, 135x15

skullz: 90x10, 110x10,130x8, 150x6

thats it. all in all pretty good workout. hope everyone had a great new years day and that you have a great week this week.

DarkFalcon · 01-03-2006, 08:49 AM
