Friday - Back/Biceps

Chins - 7 6 3 THAT'S PATHETIC
Deadlift - 165x10 (oops) 205x6 245x5 PR+2reps
T-Bar Rows - 85x10 110x8 135x7 PR+10lbs
Alternating DB Curls - 30x10 35x8 40x3
Cross Body Hammer Curl - 25x10 35x6 PR+5lbs
EZ-Bar Curls - 65x8 70x3

NOTES:
-Not alot of improvement. Pretty angry about that... Could be the fact that I got a mass nose bleed while sleeping? Or maybe I'm just a pussy...
-I wanted 7 reps on deadlifts, got 5. SHIT! GODDAMNIT! That makes me angry.
-T-Bar rows are becoming my favorite exercise of all time. I love them. Really made me feel good to rack 3 45s and row them with little problem (well, alot of struggeling but you know what I mean, good form!)
-My forearms are SO TIRED. I shouldn't have done farmers walks yesterday lol. They were having a diffucult time doing all the bicep exercises and I had to stop on EZ-Curls because they couldn't hold up the 75s lmfao....
-I suck at chin-ups. Former fat kid chinning!!! These will go up fast tho cuz they're a new exercise. Also I felt them alot in my shoulders, is that normal?


Weight has been all over the place because I gained 1" in height, but then I freaked out (not knowing it was in height) because I gained like 3-4lbs in a week (too much IMO - I only aim for 1) so I stopped eating as much and went to the 3500 calorie diet. Calories are going to be increased by alot soon... Swimming starts monday.

Monday - Chest/Tris

Flat BB Bench - 95x12 115x10 135x8 155x6 PR+5lbs

Dips BWx10 BWx9 BWx8 Neck Pain - Dropped
Overhead Tricep Extension 45x10 50x6 PR-1rep
EZ Bar CG Bench -75x10 85x8 95x5 PR+5lbs
Tricep Pushdown - 55x10 65x7

NOTES:
-I was pumped about putting up ANOTHER 5lbs in bench. That last rep took awhile tho, and my spotter was just about to grab it (it was falling back down) when I barked "I GOT IT" and pushed it up.
-I need to breath and relax my neck more on dips, I re-hurt my neck again hopefully it won't hurt during squats tommorow.......
-I had better form on tricep extensions this workout, but less reps... SHIT
-Put in an extra tricep set (pushdowns) because dips sucked, I didn't do one set of them, and all over my tricep workout sucked.
-Swim season has officially started. I did the 500 try-out test (20 laps) today... very easy.... I obviously passed, as did everyone that tried out lol.

7 Day Weight Average Update - This week clocked in at 157.6 average, up 2.3lbs from last week! I attribute some of this weight gain to the fact that I'm nearly 6foot now! (was 5"11)

Tuesday - Legs/Forearms

Squats (notch 11) - 135x10 165x8 195x7 PR+5lbs
Calf Raises - 80x25 85x35 90x50 PR+5lbs
Leg Press (notch 6) - 110x15 130x10 150x13 PR+10lbs

Reverse EZ Bar Curls - 50x10 60x10 70x10 PR+2reps
Behind the back EZBar Curls - 30x15 45x15 50x15

NOTES:
-Was semi happy with squats. I improved, but not enough IMO.
-I am making great gains on that weird ass legpress machine... I go to complete failure on it each time, sometimes struggeling with that last rep for a good 20 seconds.
-Really like the behind the back EZ Bar curls... Really burned my forearms and even my pinch grip.
-Swim practice was actually pretty hard today... was suprised. Or it could be that I'm out of shape. Also, I slacked off on my water consumption about 3 periods before the end of school, then ate rice with soy sauce on it = CRAMP CITY OMG. I had to guzzle 40oz of water while swimming (from my bottle) to get the cramps to subside

Also, for a little swimming journal.... after practice today I had my coach time me. I swam a 26.9 second 50meter freestyle with a bad start. That is 2.4 seconds slower than my fastest time at WPIAALS.... but it was after practice, and I am out of shape...

TIME TO EAT BOYZZZ! I'm eating everything in site now... Xtend should come in on thursday too

Thursday - Shoulders/Abs

Seated BB Military - 80x10 90x10 105x6 PR+5lbs
BB Shrugs - 65x1- 75x8 85x6 PR+1rep
Lying Laterals - 15x10 20x8 25x8(r)x6(l) PR+5lbs
Decline Situps - 20x5 20x15 14x25 PR+5lbs

NOTES:
-Was happy on all of my shoulder exercises. Extremely suprised with how sore my shoulders are (especially now jesus, I can barely carry a bag on my shoulder) from swimming. Practice was kinda hard today (just got home) and much harder yesterday.
-Was gonna do another ab exercise but the dumbass wrestlers were there. I really hope they don't lift much, I really was ready to hit someone. Bench press, bicep curl, abs. Their coaches went off and lifted by themselves..... One kid looked like he was attempting one arm DB rows but was just swininging the weight back and forth like a clock. Was really freakin' odd.
-When I de-racked the 85s and started shrugging them (no1 ever uses/deracks them) I got some weird looks. They stared at me during lying laterals and shit too
-I vow if they are there tommorow I'm chucking dumbells across the room and shouting roid rages or something.

Friday - Back/Bis

Deads - 170x8 210x6 250x7 PR+5lbs
T-Bar Rows - 90x10 115x8 140x5 PR+5lbs
Row Machine - 110x10 115x8 130x5
Alt. Db Curls - 30x10 35x8 40x3 35x3
Cross Body Hammer Curls - 25x10 30x7
EZ-Bar Curls - 65x8 75x2 65x4 PR-1rep

NOTES:
-Not many PR's due to wrestlers, however, this will be my last morning lifting at the HS. I'm going to lift before school in my basement, I really can't stand the wrestlers. They stare at people, they think they're hard, and they do the stupidest shit. It's way too small for everyone in there. One kid deracked the 35s, put them on a bench, and walked away. They were the only 35s in the gym so I waited 5 mins for him to come back and he didn't, so I used them. When I was almost done he comes over right next to me (2-3 feet away) and just stares at me. When I finish my set I hand him both the dumbells and say "Here you go dicksucker". He just puts them back on the bench and walks away. I don't think he heard the dick sucker part.
-Back workout was good. Deadlift form is much better. I don't think I'm rounding my back and I'm using my legs more which enables me to do more reps, however, I am re-gripping while doing them. I had to re-grip three times on this set.
-Gonna have to go out and buy dumbells and stuff

Monday - Chest/Tris

Flat Bench - 100x12 120x10 140x8 160x2 155xfailure lol PR+5lbs, kinda
Incline BB Bench - 80x10 90x8 110x8 PR+5lbs
Dips BWx10 BWx10 BWx10 BWx6
Overhead Tricep Extension - 40x10 50x9 -5lbs, oops lol, in notes...
EZ Bar Bench - 75x10 85x8 95x8 PR+3reps

NOTES:
-Flat bench went horribly.. 160 wasn't near failure but I knew at max I'd get one more rep (or I thought) so I dropped the 2 1/2s on each side and tried it, only to almost lock it out and then for it come right back down to my chest disappointing
-I didn't let flat bench ruin my workout, instead it fueled me. I really felt the incline bb bench (only about 30 degrees) in my upper chest. Enjoyed it
-I love the dip bar at my house. It targets my chest incredibly.
-I THOUGHT I had the right weight for my tricep extensions, but then I remembered that the bar weighed 10, not 15 (after I had done them..) oops!
-I worked out in my garage at 5:30AM in the morning. It was like 28 degrees I believe. My fingers were frozen.... but it was kinda hardcore IMO. Repping cold steel... During dips I got so warmed up I actually started sweating and ripped my hoodie off, lifting with just a T-shirt on outside, lol

Today I did a 20 rep squat workout, calves, and quads... I'll explain my workout

Squats:
Bar x 10, 95x10, 155x20
Calf Raises
90x35 100x42
Leg Press
110x10 150x10
Reverse EZ-Bar Curls
45x10 55x10 70x9
Behind the back EZ Bar Curls
40x15 50x15 50x9

NOTES:
-I only did 155 because we had a swimming leg workout (all kick sets for nearly 2 hours) on monday and my legs were tired, plus we did more kicking today so I was pretty damn tired. Once I got to 15 reps tho I realized I had been a pussy. Don't get me wrong, those last 2 reps took forever and I really had to dig for them, but I should have done more weight.... the last 5-7 should be a bitch.
-Everything else went fine. I'm not real sure about the weights because I didn't bring anything to record it, but driving home sucked, so that's a good note.
-No hammies because I have lactates tommorow in swimming. Those should be painful enough.

I did workout today (thursday) but the workout was god awful....

First, I wanted to workout at about 9AMish since it's thanksgiving. Little beknowst to me, they were cooking a turkey in my gym! (spare garage) So, this means I had 3 people in there (yes, it takes 3 people to deep-fry a turkey, I guess...... retards) plus a boiler with a 20lbs turkey. I lifted but the session was horrible. It was cold because they had to put the boiler thing right in the way of the door to close, so I couldn't close it and I was snowing and wind was blowing. I had snow all over me, sucked ass. I almost failed on my 8th rep of a 95lb military press, and failed on the third set with a measly 95.... Everythign else went just decent until I came to decline situps. I had chest pain (due to gas, I think) so I had to stop these after one set

I will be making this workout up on saturday.... just horrible, really pissed me off.

Friday - Back/Bis

Deadlift - 175x8 215x6 260x7 PR+10lbs
T-Bar Rows - 95x10 120x8 145x7 PR+5lbs
One Arm DB Rows - 60x10 50x8 75x7
Alt Db Curls - 35x10 35x8 40x4 PR+1rep
Cross Body DB Curls - 25x10 35x7 PR+1rep
EZ-Bar Curls 65x8 75x4 PR+1 rep

NOTES:
-This workout was good because it was fueled by anger. After coming home from my dad's house (stayed after thanksigving at his house) I returned to my house to find $360 USD missing from my room. My cousin (who I think is a huge prick) slept in it when I was gone. Coincidence? My mom doesn't want me to call them until we search the whole entire house, but I guarnetee that he is going to get one very angry very threatening phone call tonight (I have already searched my whole room, and of course, the drawer by my bed I kept it in). This pisses me off very very badly. If he did take it, once he returns it I told my family I never want to see him again, and I could care less if he dies. No one should steal, especially from a family member.
-Bi's had little improvement, but improvement nonetheless, and such a small muscle with such a good back workout, who would expect big improvements. I was happy with the whole workout, great bi pump.

Well, with the money thing... my mom called my uncle, who said he really grilled my cousin. He even searched his car while he was sleeping. He said by his reaction and after the searching he feels he didn't steal it. I believe him.... he always knew when my cousin was lying, and he grills him pretty hard when he's done something wrong (I've seen it before)

As for getting angry... I'm goign to try (when I wake up to lift in the morning) listening to heavy metal real soon. I'm gonna have to go back to slapping myself in the face and such as I used to. Really helps me get pumped and pissed. I also think of everything that made me angry in the past week or so, and just take it out on the weights. I haven't been doing this recently.

Monday - Chest/Tris

Flat BB Bench - 100x12 120x10 140x8 160x2 135x4
Incline BB Bench - 85x10 95x8 115x6 PR+5lbs
Dips - BWx10 BWx10 BWx9 BWx5 PR-1rep
Overhead Tricep Extension 45x10 55x9 PR+5lbs
EZ-Bar CG Bench - 80x10 90x8 100x6 PR+5lbs

NOTES:
-Stupid bench press. I don't know whats up... I was adding weight like made at my school's gym. I start working out at home, and my bench just stalls. The only thing I can think of is that I stopped warming up as much. I do like a light 30 second run (stupid, I know) and then stretch. I'm going to start doing a light 5 minue run now to warm up. Hopefully this will correct my shitty lifts for the very first lift each time.
-I felt nearly nothing in my chest du ring incline bb bench this time. Going to have to toy around with my grip.
-Dips felt awesome, but I got up less reps. Sucks


Weight is up by 2lbs this week. That's .5-.7 more than I want to increase each week. Damned thanksgiving + birthday + other parties I went to. Diet was dirty, going to get it back on track now.

If you use a BB for flat, use a DB for incline. That's what I'd do anyway..

I don't know about anyone else here, but I haven't flat BB benched in monthes. I always stick to inclines, dips, and declines/etc...

If your bench is stuck... drop it for awhile. Drop flat completely, or use dumbells for it. Really though, I find flat bb bench to be a horrible lift, and most people do it as a showoff lift.

I'll leave you with this : Everyone flat bb benches, but not everyone has a huge chest.
