Pullup's 3 sets of 5
Seated Row 150x12/150x12/150x12

Overhead tricep ext. 100x10/100x10/100x10

Came in not really thinking i was gonna pull anything decent. One of my buddies was already on the bar with four plates so i knew i had to grow some balls and hit something respectable. Saw blue spots when i was lifting 405 but im glad i was able to get it up and bang out 3 reps. My strength is coming back but its taking fucking forever. Im satisfied with this workout though. no complaints.

If you want to read more about this program, i have a thread on the 1-6 method by charles poliquin. Basically to sum it up you rotate workouts a1 with a2 and b1 with b2 meaning i would do a single cambered curl, then a single close grip then a set of 6 on the curls, then a set of 6 on the bench etc... i was still fucking around with the right amount of weight which is why i didnt hit my last single on the cambered curls. its also why i didnt go down all the way on 280 close grip bench. im not used to going that heavy, but i def like this routine.

i see you are starting the program you psted in the training forum.
nice.

stuff looked good, i may steal some of it in future work outs.
 
im liking it so far adida. i just put a shoulders day in on day 2. i know it doesn't have any direct delt work, but i wanted some of my own. when i do these powerlifting splits with on direct shoudler work, my shoulders still grow, but they lose the caps and nice roundedness...

Week 1 Day 2.

Shoulders

Push Press 45x20/55x12/92x12 (all warmups) 165x2/135x6/170x2/140x6/185x2/145x6
Side lats (the water jugs*) 45x6(warmup) 65x1/45x6/60x1/50x6
Hammer Strength Behind The Neck Press 270x1/200x6/270x2/205x6
BB Milt Rack Press 225x4/225x4

Still getting the weights down for this routine. So where i was supposed to do a single, somtimes i would bang out a double just cus i had it in me. the rep scheme's came out a little weird because im still adjusting the weights. I threw in the rack presses at the end just for the hell of it. Ive never done any rack exercise and im liking this. I think my shoulders are going to be sore as fuck tomorrow.
 
i couldn't handle the 1-6 method, plus i usually lift alone which isnt very practical when your doing max lifts. so im gonna go back to the good ole 5x5. switch it around a bit from my original layout in the first post of this journal. i think the only thing im going to change is instead of shoulders and back, im going to pair them each with a smaller muscle such as biceps or triceps. im also going to throw in some cable work at the end of everything to beef up the volume a bit.

Back to the 5x5 i wanted to guage good weights to start with so i didnt hit a plateau too soon. Felt weak as fuck today, most likely due to the fact that i only ate one meal today. Im also coming back from a bad case of food poisoning which lasted all of last week and prolly caused me to shit out 1/3 of my body weight. Sounds fun no?

Chest & Calves

Flat Bench 135x15/135x15/225x5/245x5/275x5/275x5/275x4
Incline DBs 80x10/80x10/80x10
Incline Flys 40x10/40x10/40x10
Cable Flys 50x10/50x10/50x10
Rotary Calves Dropsets 250x10-->230c10-->210x10-->190x10 ( did this twice)

My flat bench wave went up if you compare this weeks and last weeks so im happy about that. im going to try doing 275 earlier on in my set rather than the last 3 sets. On the incline i was able to do my first 2 sets at 10 reps instead of 8. My incline flys went from 35 to 40 and kept the same 10 reps. as for cable flys i kept it at a constant 50 rather then going 35-50-60. Im not a very smart man, but i'd say its safe to say im getting stronger once again.

Shoulders & Biceps

DB Milt Press 50x12/50x10/85x5/85x5/85x5/85x5/85x5
Side Lat Raises 35x10/35x10/35x10
Hammer Strength Behind the neck press 165x10/165x10/165x7
Face Pulls 110x01/110x10/110x10
Preacher Bench 105x5/105x5/105x5/105x5/105x3
Hammer Curls 60x10/60x8/60x8
Double Bicep Cable Curl 35x10/35x10/40x10

My db milt's went up from 80s to 85s keeping the same reps, so im gonna go for 90 next week. side lats i was able to hit a set of 10 for my first set rather than 3 sets of 8 last week. My hammer strength press went up 5 pounds but i wasnt able to hit all three sets of 10. Facepulls went up 10 pounds keeping the same reps. My preacher bench stayed the same and felt as heavy if not heavier than last week. Im going to attribute this to lack of energy due to the heavy strain i put on my shoulders. nevertheless, i hope its not stuck already. my hammers went up in reps for the first set, and my double cable curls went up in weight for the last set. Im happy with this workout and def am getting stronger.
