Braaq's Training Log

[Braaq]

Ok, well I finally started a log. I changed up my training and after seven years of bodybuilding, two years of personal training, and finishing my bachelors in Physiology.... I learned recently I definitely do NOT know all. So I am looking forward to learning from many of you and your input. I am excited to continue this style of training and with yalls help I can iron out the kinks.

Pull Downs: (I use this to mostly warmup my back and give it a good stretch)
170 x 10 (warm-up)
240 x 12 (too light)
260 x 9 (felt awesome)

Bent-Over BB Rows:
225 x 8 (warmup)
315 x 10

Close-Grip Pulley Rows
300(stack) x 12 (too light so I wont do this again)

One-Arm DB Rows:
150 x 10 (too light so wont do this again either)

Rack-Deads:
135 x 10 (warmup)
315 x 8 (warmup)
405 x 4 (warmup)
495 x 8

I was done in 40 mins, I eliminated some exercises as suggested by the very knowledgable Wolf and tried to warm up more on Deads as well. I was coached through this by Maroln Joyner (http://repetrope.com/men/competitors/detail.asp?CompetitorID=2609).
So what do yall think? I realize that I am going to have to play around a little like how I found out that two of these exercises are going to have to be cut out. But it felt great.

Thanks, Marlon Joyner told me if I can get 10 reps too easily with a weight then that is not enough... and our DB's only go up to 150
Looking forward to chest tonight.

 

[Braaq]

Ok Chest Day! Felt a bit off, my left elbow has been bothering me lately. But that doesnt stop me so here it is:

Flat BB Bench Press:
135 x 10 (warmup)
225 x 8 (warmup)
315 x 4 (warmup)
365 x 8 (Not bad, but it felt harder then it should of

Incline DB Press:
140 x 8.5 (couldnt lock out on last one )

Flat DB Press:
130 x 9

Flat DB Flys:
90 x 12 (too light but felt great... so I decided to do more for fun )
100 x 8

After that I did some calves and a little abs and got my ass home to eat!

Thanks bro, I say "not bad" even though I know its not, it just that when I use to do flat BB press on a regular basis I was getting 405 up for that.. now I can barely do 365.. kinda upsetting when it feels that hard haha

Well that is still awesome, especially for being natural.. also your legs and back rountines are rediculous, most on here couldnt keep up ... hell probably myself included.

Of me posing recently the only few I have are from a camera phone and they have been my avatars, which I try to switch up.
I do need some more though... I will get on that.
However, I was dieted down also.. I think I was four or so weeks out...
