seeing as you have 3 cars, do you plug on of them during the winter time, or do you have a 3 car garage?

dapack · 10-18-2009, 08:04 PM

aild54 · 10-21-2009, 05:25 PM

Speaking of swine flu, if one more person at my school gets it, I get two weeks off!

**mikeh40+** · 10-22-2009, 12:47 PM

so a update, after sleeping on and off for the last 4 days, i finally woke up today not feeling like crap, i tell ya, that sucked big time, i`m thinking of doing a workout today, but undecided as to if i want to recover for a few more days or do a workout, i`ll see how i feel later and go from there, coffee after 4 days off feels goooooood , lol

**mikeh40+** · 10-22-2009, 02:26 PM

ok so i finally got around to logging my various lifts from Aug. - Oct.

what i was lifting and what i am now lifting...

start off with dead lifts, i actually started these in sept. so the change is from about 1 1/2 months of work,

regular stance deadlifts... Sept-Oct.
start. 250lbs x 5>>>>>> current. 320lbs x 3

SLDL`s.... Sept-Oct.
start. 150lbsx8........current....235lbs x6

BarBell curls..... aug- oct
start...135lbsx4.......current..160lbsx2

Dumbbell hammers.....aug-oct
start..45`sx8.........current...65`sx5

Dumbbell seated alternating curls.. aug.- oct
start..55`sx5.........current..65`sx5

Flat Bench Dumbbell Presses... aug-oct
start...75`sx8.........current..115`sx4

incline Dumbbell press..aug-oct
start..75`sx8.........current...95`sx5

Seated Dumbbell Military Presses.. aug-oct.
start..75`sx8.........current..90`sx4

Dumbbell shrugs....aug.-oct.
start..85`sx10.......current..125`sx6

BarBell Upright Rows.. aug.-oct.
start..125lbs x8......current..145lbs x4

ok so other than adding close to 1/4 inch to my bicep pumped, mostly everything else has filled out, my shoulders and traps have come along way, as well as my back, i believe when i cut the changes should be dramatic...

also i have no squat to go by since i have to use dumbbells or i do front squats, i will be ordering a set of squat stands shortly, so i can concentrate on going heavy on those as well,,

**HawaiianPride.** · 10-22-2009, 02:26 PM

EATEATEAT. Then come back tomorrow full force and ready to own some new PB's!

**HawaiianPride.** · 10-22-2009, 02:28 PM

Damn major differences in your lifts Mike that's insane. This is a perfect example of why more people should start their own training threads. Great progress dude keep it going!

dapack · 10-22-2009, 02:57 PM

solid strength gains, especially in chest!!! keep up the great work, hopefully you will get better here soon. sucks being sick

pixil · 10-22-2009, 02:57 PM

yea i decided against working out today, after 4 days of sleeping, my nutrition has not been all that great, so i`ll go to work late tonight, and have a couple more days off, then i`ll start up again...not sure how much longer the PB`s are going to keep coming actually, really looking for a bit of change in my workouts.. i`ll think about things while i`m recovering!!
