Line - "We Can Rebuild Him"

[tim290280]

Good to see you back lifting again!

Hope you don't get hit by cravings for junk with the new diet. It took me so long to phase some of the stuff I used to eat out of my diet (cravings!!).

 

[Line]

Tweak - Damn you, stop picking on my chicken legs! As for the pullups, I figured it'd be best since I haven't done them in awhile if I just aimed for 4 sets of 8 and we'll see if I can step it up next time. I appreciate the compliments on the Squats and BB Rows (which actually felt much easier than I thought so I'll aim for for 245 next time).

Chesty - I don't really consider myself that much of a volume man because I only do about 3-4 working sets per exercise and only 2 if it's the second exercise for a bodypart. To be honest, I think my body's responding better to this split more than it used to though and I'm very happy about how my numbers have been since making the change. Thanks for the kind words on my numbers and for posting that video as well

Tim - It's good to be back, thanks. To be honest, once I start a diet I usually don't stray much from it, except I'll have to cut back on my beer intake on weekends. Other than that, avoiding bad food really isn't too much of a problem for me, but I usually save one day a week where I have 1 or 2 cheat meals just to keep myself sane.


UPDATE: Today's an off day for Glex and I. I'm actually going to see if I can get some work done for school and get a couple other errands out of the way. Tomorrow we're hitting Chest/Shoulders/Tris again and I'm hoping for some bigger numbers after my last session which left me disappointed. Thanks for reading, everyone

 

[Maxmonzter]

didn´t know that you and glex were workout partners but anywayz go gem em rest and eat some more and sleep as much as you can bro

 

[FOOTBALL FAN]

that clip used to be an advert here on channel 4 for the new series of simpsons its a smart advert.

But know to the serious stuff, squats are looking good 335 for 12 reps is no mean feat, bet your quads were feeling it.

 

[CJU]

squats look awesome bro as always and the rows werent bad either I hope you dont disappoint yourself next session! you never disappoint us though remeber that! you're one strong dude we all know that so dont get upset when you have a bad day at the gym.

 

[Paulie]

335 for 12 on squats was excellent, i believe your chickin legs still have some nice size, I dont know about you calves though, how small can they be

Congrats on the PB with calves, im sure theyre not that tiny

Chins and BB Rows were pretty much awesome as well, strict form im guessing.

Good job with this session, keep it up and yes, hit em up!

 

[CJU]

^paulie...its hit em up. not hit em hard. its a phrase tupac used

Max - Glad you stopped by. Hope you can see some of my serious sessions.

FF - Yeah, my quads are definitely sore today and as I posted, I felt sick for pretty much the rest of the session because of that set.

CJU - Thanks, I was actually happy with this session, just a bit sore about my previous one because it had been so long...today's was much better.

Paulie - My form's actually really good on pretty much every exercise. Awhile ago I basically dropped all my weights by 15% and focused more on form and now I've far surpassed where I used to be. My calves really aren't that small but my knee joint is fairly wide and I have high insertions so they just don't look that impressive. Still, that's not keeping me from trying to make them better.


UPDATE: Trained Chest/Shoulders/Tris tonight with Glex and I was very happy with how things went. As usual, I'll post it up after getting around to the rest of your logs.

 

[Line]

Okay, so here was tonight's session with Glex. Not much to tell so let's just get right into it...

...and that's it for today. I was really happy with my strength this session and I'm just hoping it will continue to improve. Our gym only has DB's going up to 130 pounds so it looks like I have to work on hammering those out more on Flat Press.

Diet is going well so far, it's only been a week but I'm making my adjustments slowly and am feeling more and more structured with each day. Until next time: hit 'em up

 

[Dobbs]

great session, really threw up some heavy weights today 3 new pbs good work

 

[Chesticles]

Big weights as always man, congrats on your PB's! 130 DB's on flat press is imPRESSive

Yeah it was lame I no

Thats like our gym, our DB's only go up to 130 aswell

Homer: From now on, there are three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way.
Bart: Isn't that just the wrong way?
Homer: Yeah, but faster!

 

[Natureboypkr]

great session, you're looking pretty strong

 

[Clint]

damn you and your 130x4
damn your military press too, especially after flat db press

about time you started putting weight on the bar for shrugs

good to hear the diet is going well, and hopefully you can hold on to quite a bit of your strength throughout the entire diet process.

holy shit I just noticed those skullcrushers... 135!!


great stuff Joe, now hit em hard

btw, this was my 100th post in your log

 

[onebigeric]

Three PB's is an excellent session for sure Line, and at those skullls. Just inspired me to go heavier on those

 

[Line]

Dobbs - Thanks for checking out my log, bro! At this stage of training I'm at a point where if I continue to train harder I'll probably hit at least one PB each workout, so stay tuned.

Chesticles - I really don't know if it was a PB or not but the 130's certainly tested me. As always, at the quote.

NatureBoy - Glad you stopped in, I appreciate the compliment.

Tweak - Do you have more posts in my log than I do now?

I always look forward to your comments and how thought out they are. Strength really shouldn't be a problem while dieting because my calories will remain fairly high for awhile yet. Look for many more PB's to come.

onebigeric - It's amazing to think I can inspire someone as strong as yourself to go heavier.

 

[Paulie]

Huge session you had there Line. 130 x 4 is damn "imPRESSive".

Chesty's a fag :io:

And really good job on the BB military press, excellent weight for doing those flat db presses first.

Shrugs looked good, and holy hell, skullcrushers were awesome....

Keep it up, sounds like the diet is going nice and steady!

 

[Line]

Well Glex is gone for the weekend so I didn't want to go do anything like heavy squats so I made some adjustments (I sound like Ronnie in On the Road, LOL). The structure of the workout was fairly scattershot so I won't segregate the individual bodyparts I trained. Anyways, I'm still happy with the way the session played out so feel free to offer your comments as well...


Date: 2.24.07

Time: 7:30pm

Duration: 1 hr 5 min


Hack Squats (weight listed is the what was added to the sled)
Set #1 - 180 pounds x 10 reps
Set #2 - 270 pounds x 8 reps
Set #3 - 360 pounds x 4 reps
Set #4 - 360 pounds x 4 reps
Set #5 - 360 pounds x 4 reps
Set #6 - 360 pounds x 4 reps

BB Deadlifts (singles)
Set #1 - 225
Set #2 - 315
Set #3 - 405
Set #4 - 455
Set #5 - 475...PB

Chins
Set #1 - Bodyweight x 10 reps
Set #2 - BW x 8 reps
Set #3 - BW x 8 reps

Standing Machine Calf Raises
Set #1 - 315 pounds x 8 reps
Set #2 - 355 pounds x 8 reps
Set #3 - 355 pounds x 8 reps

Alt. DB Curls
Set #1 - 40 pounds x 8 reps
Set #2 - 50 pounds x 6 reps DROP 25 pounds x 15 reps


...and that's it for today. I was thrilled with the deadlifts and very happy with the rest of the session. I actually made a slight adjustment and started gripping the bar wider and I think that allowed me to get the rest of my body in a better starting position. I actually thought about doing 5 plates but decided to save it for another day. Also, despite the low rep-count, my quads were very pumped and full after the hacksquats.

Another note, my form and pace on everything was what I would consider well above average. For example, even after completing my singles on deads, I was able to return to the bar to the ground in a very steady and controlled movement.

That's it for now, until next time: hit 'em up

 

[Natureboypkr]

nice session bro, i wish I could do hack squats, but for soem reason they hurt my knee

 

[CJU]
