Not really bro. I weighed 235 when I was 14. And you're a HELL of a lot stronger than I ever have been.

**romanaz** · 04-24-2007, 04:50 PM

Oh shit, I was 230 when I was 17/18. And thanks bro :-D

Deadlifts

135x5x1
225x5x1
245x5x1
265x3x1 <---PR
275x3x2 (60 second rests in between) <---PR
275x2x1

Rack Pulls

275x3x1

Hyperextensions

BW+45x10x1
30 second rest
BW+45x8x1
30 second rest
BW+45x9x1

Deads were so hardcore today... the 60 second rests absolutely killed. Holding 275 was cool, I've never repped that much before.

nice deads

I liked todays workout a lot, I've never hit my calves that hard. Holding reps at the top is definitely the trick, thanks davtown

Got some decent cardio in. I'm still keeping it relatively low. I'm letting the diet shed off the most fat.

Diet Analysis

Meal 1: 6:00 AM
2 servings Quaker instant oats, 1 scoop whey
Meal 2: 10:30 AM
2 PB&Js

Meal 3: 4:30 PM
Cinnamon Roll Protein Shake (omgomgomg), homemade protein bar
Meal 4: 7:30 PM (post-workout)
Peanut Butter/Chocolate Protein Shake
Meal 5: 9:30
4 oz. lean steak

Total cals burned: 3577
Total Cals consumed: 2245
Protein: 238g (42%)
Carbs: 203g (35%)
Fats: 57g (23%)

It's hard to keep them spaced 2-3 hours apart but I try.

I can see my abs a bit more more everyday and my lifts still aren't going down.

I took some pics the other night.... I'll post em once this is all over.

Shoulders/Arms

CGBP

135x5x1
140x5x1
145x5x1 <---PR
150x5x1 (last rep assisted) <---PR
150x4x1 (last 2 reps assisted) <---PR

Seated Military Press

95x8x1
60 second rest
95x8x1 (last 2 reps assisted)

Switched to dumbbells

35sx8x1*
35sx9x1

*first 6 reps were Arnold Press

DB Concentration Curls

20x12x1
25x10x1

Had to leave. Went to a friends house.

Powercleans

115x10x1
120x10x1
135x8x1 <---PR!

So my CGBP has now matched my flat bench. I'm a little concerned.

Powercleans were great. A month ago my max was 135... and I just repped it 8 times today

I'm gonna go to the gym in a little to do some more bi work.

danman77220 · 04-27-2007, 07:58 PM

Last nights workout: Finish up with my arms, and some leg work

Parallel Squats

135x5x1
185x5x1
175x5x3 <---I wanted to get my form down. I videoed myself on 185 and I wasn't quite getting to parallel... so I dropped weight and did it right :/

Smith ATG Squats

135x5x3

Hammer Strength Machine Curls (60 second rests)

110x8x1
110x7x1
110x5x1

Barbell Wrist Rollers (30 second rests)

225 for 50 seconds forward, 50 back, 20, 20
225 for 30, 30
225 for 20, 20, 10, 10

5 minutes on elliptical and 5 minutes on stationary bike.

~110 cals burned

Weighed 177.6 this morning, so I'm pretty much back to where I was a week and a half ago.

I got to the gym and decided to do some leg work because I didn't want to work out today. It's the only free day I've had in 2 weeks. Having to drop to 175 from 205 was a bit depressing... but it's just something you gotta do to get form down. I also think I'm gonna do a hamstring dominant say on Tuesdays (with deads) and make Fridays a quad dominant day. I'm always too tired after squats to do anything extremely strenuous like GMs or SLDLs.

and OMG MY TRAPS ARE SORE from power cleans.
