Hi hello friends. I need to start working on my sleep habits a little bit. It's hard for me though since I'm a night owl. I don't start being productive till the sun goes down. I've always had this issue lol. Normally on the weekdays it's fine. I'll go to bed around 1 or 2 AM and then wake up around 9 or 10. I'd still like to be getting more sleep though.

**projecthatch92** · 09-06-2009, 11:55 PM

So I was thinking about this, and I'm going to add 1-2 drop sets after all my compound exercises. I wanna be triggering both of my muscle fibers, so we'll see what this does to my growth. What you guys think?

I think it sounds like a fine idea. I would give it a shot if thats what you want to do. Just make sure you dont over do it, thats all. I was thinking about doing something like that a while back. I still might do it. Let me know how it goes if you give it a shot. Goodluck buddy

**HawaiianPride.** · 09-07-2009, 08:57 PM

I just started doing drop sets actually, I don't post them in my log though. It's great for getting more blood flow to the muscles. Haven't really noticed any changes in my lifts or physique but I just started so it's a little too early to tell.

rmike · 09-07-2009, 11:28 PM

If nothing else you know blood carries oxygen and nutrients to feed your muscles. I think its a good idea

**projecthatch92** · 09-08-2009, 01:34 AM

Yeah I for sure won't overdue it. I'm only going to be doing it on the primary compound exercises. i can't wait to get to gym tomorrow. It's been way too long. I hope the iron still remembers me!!

**projecthatch92** · 09-09-2009, 03:41 AM

Alright friends, great workout today. It was chest today, and I've noticed that if I do incline first, my flat bench blows, or vice versa. Anywho, here's my weakness

DB Incline
85x12
90x12
90x12

BB Flat (great mind to muscle concentration)

**HawaiianPride.** · 09-09-2009, 04:01 AM

I love starting incline first. It feels great to get all that blood flow to the upper chest and anterior fibers of the delt.

**projecthatch92** · 09-09-2009, 12:11 PM

As do I but then I'm just awful at flat bench lol

rmike · 09-09-2009, 09:11 PM

Nice workout bro! I just started alternating wich bench I do first and I think it helps. That way one wont suffer all the time. You kicked a** on that routine, I know you were beat after them dips.

**projecthatch92** · 09-09-2009, 09:40 PM

yeah thanks mike. it was a pretty killer workout. On those v-bar pushdowns I have to add more weight to the stack lol.

**projecthatch92** · 09-10-2009, 02:12 AM

So I know to most, the numbers that I'm about to post might not seem impressive, but for me, this was by far one the best leg workouts I've ever had. Considering that in June, I had a hard time doing squats with 185, I've come along way.

**HawaiianPride.** · 09-10-2009, 02:13 AM

That's what I'm talking about son!

MidniteMusik2 · 09-10-2009, 10:50 AM

Great workout Project, you have really motivated to get my legs up to par. Keep pushing my brotha.

I got a question for all, since i'm still doing Layne Norton's routine, what is a good Power Tricep exercise to throw into my Power Upper day?

Thanks boys.

**projecthatch92** · 09-10-2009, 11:43 AM

I would switch between skull crushers and close grip bench on the decline bench. Usually just stick with skull crushers though

Weighed in at 204 today. I'm seriously going to try and get some pictures up soon. I really need you guys to critique me. I don't have anyone up here that's really into bodybuilding. All I here from my friends is that I look huge, although it sounds awesome to hear that all the time, I respect the dungeon's opinion so much more.

**HawaiianPride.** · 09-11-2009, 03:40 AM

Nice lifts, got some good volume there. Get them pictures man! If I have no one to take them I just usually set it up on a timer.

**projecthatch92** · 09-11-2009, 07:58 AM

I don't even have a camera :(

MidniteMusik2 · 09-11-2009, 09:32 AM

Use your cell phone.

Good lifting, thats some volume. you must be gassed by the time your done.

rmike · 09-11-2009, 08:57 PM

Thanks Mike. Forgot to add in the drop sets that I did, so then it probably would be over 30 sets lol.

Yesterday was a poopy day. I had a golf outing to go to for one of my classes. Pretty much just a huge networking opportunity. Everything was great, except the food. They said they would provide us with breakfast and lunch. So I ate before I left, took me about an hour and a half to get there, then thinking it would be perfect to eat again. The so called "breakfast" that they had was waffles. Fuking waffles!! I was pissed. So I waited for lunch after the round. I get done playing, so excited to eat, go upstairs, and the lunch is a salad and you could make your own salami sandwiches. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So pissed off.

Nonetheless, I get home around 2 in the afternoon, having eaten one solid meal, so diet was pretty much shot. Went to take a nap, wake up and realize that the gym is already closed. FML!!!!!!!!!!! So i ate a bunch of chicken and ground beef. Oh well, I'll hit it hard today bitches!
