hey man thats really great to hear about the deadlifts getting better. only 85 to go before you're a member of the 400 club :)

[CJU]

my legs have been sore pretty much every day for the past 2 weeks from all the squatting and DLing, so i took it easy on my legs tonight. anyways heres what i did. high reps tonight

a1.) front squat- 135 lbs
a2.)upright rows (slightly leaned forward to hit rear delts)- 100 lbs
b1.)DB side raise- 20 lbs
b2.) lying leg curls 80 lbs
c1.)bench press: 155/155/135 lbs (my shoulders were to fatigued so my bench suffered =<)
c2.) BB curls- 85 lbs
3 sets
12 reps
70 second rest between lift pairings.

atfer i was done, i tried a couple of yielding isometrics. WOW! i really liked them. i definatly need to start adding them into my split.

yielding isometric of hammer curls, 50 lbs DBS. held the DBS at 90 degree elbow flex for 30 seconds. this one was very cool. i've never seen my forearms and bi's pop out like that!

yielding isometric of tricep push downs, 200 lbs on cables. held at 90 degree elbow flex for 30 seconds. this one made my tris feel like they had pins and needles poking them, it was weird, but i liked it alot! i definatly need to rake in the newbie gains on those by adding them into my split.

Nice UR rows man, who put you on to the isometrics?

[CJU]

chesticles- i put myself on the iso's....lol


2 workouts today. both went pretty well. i hit some PBs and only had one screw up.

AM workout
a1.)narrow stance DL- 335 lbs New PB! didn't even hit failure either. had about another rep in me.
a2.)decline DB bench- 65lbs/70lbs/75lbs couldn't seem to find a 6RM lol. i improved alot on this lift since i last did it. new PB by alot. i still didn't fail with 75's so i need to move up to 80's.
b1.)chin ups- 10 lbs+ BW. new PB
b2.)BB triceps ex.-35 lbs. NEW PB
c1.) standing calf raise- 500 lbs
c2.) reverse crunch- 30 lbs.
6 reps
3 sets
60 seconds rest between pairings



PM workout
a1.) sumo stance DL- 225 lbs. this one was horrible. i'm embarrased to put this number up because it's not what i would truely lift. my hands were hurting soooo bad, i couldn't lift a heavy BB. i didn't even go near failure with 225 for 12. it pissed me off. my hands were just hurting so bad =(
a2.)DB bench press- 80 lbs. new PB
b1.)pull ups, palms down grip- BW. shitty form on these.
b2.)BB skull crushers- 60 lbs. new pb.
c1.)seated calf raise- 180 lbs.
c2.) swiss ball crunch- 20+ BW
2 sets
12 reps
75 seconds rest

i'm really seeing alot of results with this training. i'm having a hard time putting enough weight on some of my lifts, like on the decline db bench i did yesterday morning. i threw on 10 pounds more than what i usually do and STILL didn't hit failure. high frequency training for the fucking win.

my hand ripped this workout! i was deadlifting and some skin under my middle finger calus on my palm actually tore open. it hurt for the rest of the workout, but i didn't let it effect me! i had to push through. i'll have to go get some gloves though at big 5 or something. anyways...

a1.) deadlift 365 LBS! new PB by 30 lbs! over a 10% increase...woooo!
a2.)dips BW+35 lbs
b1.)chin ups BW+ 10 lbs
b2.) DB tricep ext. 35 lbs.
6 reps
5 sets
60 second rest between pairings

i killed myself on the deadlift, so i didn't hit as many new pbs as i usually do in a workout today. oh well, i made up for it with a good margin of new weight on my deadlift. 35lbs till i'm in the 400 club =)

WOW great deadlift, 365, theirs alot of people who cant even hold that in their hands for 2 seconds, or lift it off the rack
