WOROUT LOG:
DAY 1: 8/19/08
Epistane/Dermacrine.
15 minutes warming up, doing low back/abs/rotator cuff
Squats: 225x10, 275x8, 295x5x5
Single Leg Squat:135x8x2
Partner hamstring curls
BW x10x8
Squats were very easy. I will move the weights up next time.
This is the heaviest i've ever done squats without a weight belt since my back injury.
My plan is to work my squat up to a 405x3+reps but the end of this 4 weeks
which would be a PR for me. I'd love to see 5 reps with it, but 3 would be a record, and that's what i want to see, A PR.
I feel good. My mood is relaxed. Today I also took 3 amplify02 caps, the recommended dosage is 9 caps pre-workout. I pretty much like it because it has caffene and CEE. I don't take it often, usually only before a leg workout.
I forgot to weight myself today, so i'll do it tomorrow AM. I was in meetings ALL day today, from 6:00am-8:30pm, with a break to eat and lift. I'm starting 2 new businesses, while maintaining and building my current business (a gym

Machine Bi's/tri's/cable rear delt flys
Felt good, this is a high volume workout for me. I did extra arm work because i normally don't do very much arm work. my bi's are a weak point.
I did not use the wrist wraps on the bench. First time in a long time.
I will work for 275x3 next heavy bench day, then add 5#'s per workout till i stop making progress, then change exercise.
DAY 4 8/22

DAY 6 8/24
NO DERMACRINE TODAY---I got sunburned yesterday
Forearms-wrist roller
abs-ab wheel, ab crunch, slant board, roman chair
rotator cuff-light band work
low back traction-keep my back in check, it's been feeling great, but i still track it at least 1x per week.
very light stuff today, i'm happy that i've gained good weight in less than a week. i feel if i can eat a little more, i'll be able to gain 15 lbs for this 4 weeks. we'll see. bummed about my sunburn, but i'll put the Dermacrine on tomorrow no matter what.
DAY 7
Bench 275x3 <--went up nice
Tbar row 2 plates x 8, 3 plates x 6, 4 plates x 4 3 plates x6

Upper back row machine 2 setsx15 reps
Rear delt fly machine 2 sets x 15 reps
DB side raises w/20's x 12 reps x 3 sets <--i do these really strict and slow, i can't go to heavy it bothers my shoulder.
bi's/tri's, cable's DB's machines, supersets
Fullcourt basketball. 2 games. Dominated both. first time i've played in a month, cuz i was sick and my grandpa died.
U felt strong on my bench, it took me a solid 15 minutes extra warmup for my shoulder to get going. It felt great on the 275 though, i could have pushed 5 reps, i will go for 285x3 next week. I just don't like to struggle too much. Every other workout I like to struggle, but in between I like to use more Rep method type of training, or DE type of training. I just don't do well with missed reps.
I like the dermacrine before workouts, its def. worth it for a pre-workout energizer.
Epistane is doing its thing. I can feel the strength. It's not CRAZY strength, but it is seems to be working. I will base my final decision on the numbers if i set PR's by the end of the month, i'll know it worked.
I'm mainly interested in my Strength. Honestly, i play too much basketball to gain THAT much weight. Being heavy beats my knees up when i play, so i'll be happy with being 200 lbs. The more i think about it, the less I want to be 215, that must be hell to play hoop at 6 foot 215.
DAY 8
rest
DAY 9
Squats
worked up to 335x5
Split Snatch w/KB's x5 each side x 3 sets

DAY 15 AS of today im 194 lbs, happy i didnt' lose on my trip.
No workout, no derm, no sustain, starting all that stuff back up tomorrow,

everything is back on full throttle tomorrow.

-i don't feel more endurance on each sprint, but i do feel i recover faster in between sprints. and that I can do more total volume. I am pretty heavy right now, so i don't think my speed is going to be faster, but its nice to be able to recover faster.
