Dan Chases Andy Bolton's Total; Fails Miserably - Page 16

XiLe Ultra · 10-30-2007, 02:49 PM

Hey I didn't see that you finally hit 225, I can't wait to get that, I'll get it this week!!

danman77220 · 10-31-2007, 05:26 AM

Haha good luck with that man.

So I'm taking this week off and testing 1RMs for my main lifts next week. I hope to get:

315 Squat
185 Incline
335 Conv. Dead
200 Power Clean

Rather optimistic on some but I feel I can do it if I do things right.

Regardless of what I achieve, after next week my training is taking a back seat to my nutrition. I will still train with as much intensity as possible, and I may throw in a few extra hypertrophy based movements. But if I have to sacrifice a bit of my strength to keep my cals and carbs down then I'm going to grit my teeth and bear it.

I'll be doing cardio every day as well. HIIT.

I need to get my body composition and overall fitness in check. I'm tired of gaining weight. So please, starting with next Friday, I ask each and everyone of you, please help encourage myself in my nutrition log if I start to lose track of my eating or forget to post, etc. I need this for myself. I wanna be happy with my body.

I think you need to sit down and evaluate what your goals really are. I understand you want to have a fit body, but i'd think that strength is more important to you. SO BULK UP NANCY

danman77220 · 10-31-2007, 06:25 AM

My goal is happiness man. I wanna feel good naked lol.

I've been fat before and it's a psychological thing; I don't wanna be anywhere NEAR what I was before I started exercising. Any time my love handles start getting out of control a flag goes up in my mind.

I'm not a bodybuilder, strength is more important to me than size. But I wanna be able to take off my shirt and feel good. I want abs, I always have. I just wanna get down to a pretty lean BF%, I'm shooting for 8%. I could give two shits about weight.

You're just a bastard who has a perma-sixpack

Just kidding man, I appreciate your advice. I need to commit regardless of what I do.

**romanaz** · 10-31-2007, 03:49 PM

you do need to commit, but imo, the program you do doesn't mean much in lines of looking good naked (aka abs, no love handles etc...).

i mean for ****s sake, I lost 20+lbs in 3months time training solely for strength and just tweaking my diet. And, I've gotten stronger.

imo its also being confident with yourself. I got no problems taking my shirt off in front of people, but yeah I'm still fat.

but you know what, I'm confident with myself and they don't care if I'm a touch fat. Hell most of the time I get comments on how big my shoulders look compared to when I have a shirt on, and how my back looks (my back is my leanest section of my body).

Thursday, 11/1: Squats

Squats

Barx5
135x5
175x3
225x2
275x1 (easy)
300x1 <---PR+10 lbs!
315x1 <---PR+25 lbs!

- - -

I DID IT!!!

I'm pissed off cuz I don't have a video but I know I hit parallel. I squatted in front of a mirror.

Yayyyyyyyyy.

danman77220 · 11-02-2007, 05:21 AM

I'm thinking about doin Westside For Skinny Bastards. I've been running the same split for a while now and I wouldn't mind adding some more meat to my frame. Still more emphasis on strength, so I might change a few things up but I like the idea of a powerbuilding routine.

Thoughts?

danman77220 · 11-02-2007, 05:43 AM

Here's what I have in mind:

Sunday: ME Upper Body

ME Pressing movement (max set of 1-5)
Supplementary Pressing movement (3-4 sets of 6-10)
Horizontal Row (4 sets 10-15 reps)
Rear Delt/Upper Back (2-3 sets of 12-15)
Weighted Abs (3-4 sets of 8-15)

Monday: ME Lower Body

ME Squat/Pull (max set of 1-5)
Unilateral movement (3-4 sets of 8-15 reps)
Hamstring/Posterior Chain movement (3-4 sets of 6-10 reps)
Grip Training (3 sets of timed sets)

Wednesday: RE Upper Body

Repetition Pressing movement (3 sets of max reps)
Supplemental Triceps movement (3-4 sets of 5-10 reps)
Vertical Pulling (4 sets 8-12)
Medial Delt/Trap Exercise (3 sets 10-15 reps)
Elbow Flexion Exercise (3 sets 8-10)
Abdominal Training (3 circuits, 3 movements per circuit, no rest in between)

Thursday: DE Lower

DE Squat/Pull (8 sets of 3 reps; 45-60 second rests)
Hamstring/Posterior Chain movement (3-4 sets of 6-10 reps)
Calves (4 sets of 12-15 reps, slow eccentrics)
Grip Training (3 sets of timed sets)

Cardio every day, trading off HIIT and low intensity distance cardio every day.

- - -

Basically the exact template except I'm going to do singles on occasion, I work out 4 days a week and have a DE lower body day. Also, more cardio.

**romanaz** · 11-02-2007, 05:46 AM

****s ur form.

danman77220 · 11-02-2007, 05:57 AM

you don't think it does, but your watching yourself and that is going get you to a point where you "SEE" where you need to stop, not know the feeling of when is low enough.

hell, even nowadays I can still feel when I break parallel.

Biggie · 11-02-2007, 07:05 AM

**Succio** · 11-02-2007, 07:16 AM
