it seems like there are so many logs to keep track of these days but after reading through urs it's definately one I won't miss, look forward to seeing u progress back to your usual strength
Tweak - Not sure about the 130's in a month but you can bet I'll go heavier than you in my next workout LOL. Can't wait to put up 3 bills again on flat too!
TO - Thanks bro, glad you stopped by to post. Hopefully you'll get to see me put up some real numbers sometime soon.
Fallen - It's good to be back, bro. I appreciate it.
Mak - Hopefully I'll be putting up big numbers again sometime soon. The one thing you'll also see as that once I get up to strength again, I won't just stop there. I don't plan on plateauing for a long time.
Okay, so first leg session since 10.17. How ridiculous is that? There's no way I'm taking that much time off again. I took it easy, but here's the damage from my first leg workout in nearly a month and a half.
Date: 11.30.06
Time: 11 pm
Duration: 40 minutes
Legs BB Squat Set #1 - 135 pounds x 12 reps Set #2 - 225 pounds x 8 reps Set #3 - 275 pounds x 8 reps Set #4 - 315 pounds x 8 reps...lower back was kinda tight.
Hack Squat Set #1 - 180 pounds x 10 reps Set #2 - 180 pounds x 10 reps
Seated Leg Curls (16 total settings) Set #1 - Setting #6 x 20 reps Set #2 - Setting #8 x 12 reps Set #3 - Setting #10 x 8 reps Set #4 - Setting #8 x 10 reps
Standing Calf Raises Set #1 - 135 pounds x 15 reps Set #2 - 175 pounds x 10 reps Set #3 - 205 pounds x 10 reps
...short and sweet today. I honestly didn't think I'd be squatting more 225 today but I was feeling pretty good so I kept adding weight and decided to call it quits after 315. Could I have gone heavier? Easily, but I'd also like to not only walk tomorrow but be able to make my next scheduled leg session. In the near future, I'll be banging out 4 plates for reps again on both BB and Hack Squats. It's only a matter of time.
that's one hell of a come back leg session...smart thing not to overdo it although just lookin at the number's you wouldn't have known u were takin it easy. I want ur legs
Tweak - I can't wait to get to the point where I'm putting up 5 bills! Hopefully by the end of the month I'll be there. Oh, and yes, I'm still feeling my leg session big time.
Hypo - Thanks for stopping by, bro. Hopefully you can check out some of my real numbers in a few weeks
Glex - Bitch
Mak - Well, my legs aren't bad so I'd like to keep them, but I'd love to switch calves! LOL. I appreciate the kind words and trust me, even if I didn't over-do it, I'm really hurting today. Hopefully I'll be able to walk comfortably by the time my next session rolls around.
BB - Back was a little stiff after my quad work and my hams were still somewhat sore from doing deads during my last back session. You'll see some SLDL's soon though.
Trained Back/Shoulders with Glex last night. The gym wasn't too crowded seeing how it was a Friday night so we were able to move pretty quickly. My strength is already coming back; can't wait to see what a few weeks bring.

...and that's all she wrote. My strength seems to be coming back pretty quick and I'm fairly happy with my numbers. My motivation/drive is also improving so hopefully I'll crush some personal bests pretty soon. I'm eating very well (with an occasional slice or five of pizza here and there) and I really think once I get rolling, a healthy-looking 225-230 is within reason. Today I took off, tomorrow is Chest/Arms.
BB - Thanks bro. To be honest, I was just feeling really good and decided to go for it after putting up the 95's fairly easily. Figured I might as well build up my strength and push myself if I'm feeling as solid as I was. Hopefully soon I'll be able to use them for more than one working set.
Christ Line. Can't believe your strength after such a lay-off. Those DB presses are astronomical to say the least. And that squat too after so long away. It's damn right blasphemy I tell you! There's gonna be some damage in here soon that's for sure -the weights aren't gonna know what hit 'em!
Tweak - I told you I was out of shape! LOL. Pullups will improve, we'll start doing them regularly so hopefully I'll be repping them out fairly easily with my BW and then hanging additional weight off my fat ass. I thought you'd like the 110 presses though; will be putting those up for 8 in no time at all.
Rocky - I always am motivated after reading your posts in here. Hopefully in a few weeks after I get back into "fightin' shape" we will see some major damage in here. Unfortunately, I think my gym might have gotten rid of our 130 pound DBs so I've got a bad feeling I'm going to out-grow my gym really soon.
Tweak, you're too damn impatient, LOL. Here's today's session. For whatever reason, my right shoulder was bothering me a little bit. That being said, it wasn't a pain more than a minor annoyance (like it was tighter) so I just took it easy the rest of the workout and hopefully it'll heal up before it's time to do more heavy pressing. Here goes...

...and that's it for today. I felt pretty good throughout the session, minus my shoulder which was bothering me a bit. Oh well. My weights are still slowly improving so hopefully I'll be back to pushing 3 bills within my next few sessions. I'll probably stay focused on Flat Bench for a little while yet to build my numbers back up and to add more mass to my pecs; which have always somewhat lagged.
Thanks for reading, everyone. Until next time: Hit 'em up
