IronReps: The Bulking Chronicles

So I switched my routine up a bit. Today was supposed to be leg day, but I decided to start up a tweaked version of Dorian Yates B&G. I was itching to kill my legs, but thought it best to just start the routine from the beginning.

Chest/Biceps 4:30 PM
Pre-workout Supp: 1.5 scoops White Flood
DB Fly: 30x13, 65x11 to total failure
Incline DB Press: 30x8, 65x7 to total failure
Decline BB Press: 135x11 to total failure
All 3 exercises in a total of about 3.5 minutes.
Hammer Curl: 30x10, 50x12 to failure
BB Preacher Curl: 100x7 to failure with 4 negatives.

Although I hate working out in the afternoon, I have to say that my chest felt like it was going to explode. Not to mention my elbows to my fingertips went completely numb.

This workout I was rockin to a lot of koRn.

 
Back 4:45 PM
Pre Workout: 1.5 scoops White Flood
Pullover Machine: 150x10, 240x9 to failure
T-Bar Row: 90x9, 180x11 to failure
Lat Pulldown: 100x8, 165x10 to failure
DB Shrug: 50x10, 140x12 to failure
Deadlift: 135x10, 315x8

Decent workout. For some reason the gym was freezing, and it took way longer to wait for a station than I would've liked.
I'm completely exhausted from the workout though. I would've passed out at 6:00 if Sons of Anarchy wasn't on tonight lol.

Triceps/Shoulders 5:00 PM
Pre-Workout: 1.5 scoops White Flood

French Press: 90x8, 110x9 to failure
Cable Pressdown: 100x10, 165x12 to failure+partial reps
Arnold Press: 25x10, 55x10 to failure
Reverse Pec Deck: 100x8, 180x8 to failure

Rough workout. My shoulders and triceps were aching! I think I need to rework this day a little bit, though and add lateral raises.
I'm really working forward to next week when I can workout in the morning like I prefer. Later in the day I feel drained and it's hard to put up the weight that I'd like. Not to mention the gym is packed.
Tomorrow's leg day baby. No sympathy.

Today's most valuable song goes to NAS.

 
ah...cool, was asking because I have done three day splits before and going to start doing them again as I want to get back into MMA training two nights a week. I was going to ask you how you liked it :)

Oh nice. Yeah I'm going to get back into boxing in a couple months and it's twice a week. Not sure how it will affect my training but I'll rework a couple things if I have to.
 
Legs 4:15 PM
Pre-Workout: 1.5 scoops White Flood

Standing Calf Raise: 150x13, 275x13 to failure
Seated Calf Raise: 90x12 to failure
Leg Extension: 100x12, 195x15 to failure
No break
Squat: 225x12

Felt great to work my legs today. Calves were on fire and as I was walking to the squat rack after my leg extensions my leg buckled and I almost ate shit. I could barely stand as I was getting the barbell situated on my shoulders lol.
I'm going to need this 3 day break every muscle on my body is incredibly sore.

I tipped off at 184 on the scales today. Going up slowly but better than not at all. I also took a back pic although shitty quality. Next pic I post up will be of the wheels.

Looks like you've got a great foundation bro as long as the wheels are on point.

Thanks dude. I'm not gonna lie I would consider my legs skinny, but I hit them just as hard as any other body part so all I can do is eat and keep pounding them.
 
Chest/Biceps 8:00 AM
Pre Workout: 1.5 scoops White Flood

DB Fly: 30x9, 65x9 to failure
No break
Incline DB Press: 65x5 to failure
Decline BB Press: 175x15 to failure
Concentration Curl: 25x11, 45x10 to failure
BB Curl: 100x6 to failure, 4 negatives

This one's gonna hurt tomorrow. I think for the next chest day I'm going to swap DB Fly with Pec Deck. This way I can get a lot more out of the top of the rep when I can hold it there.

Cheers to Chevelle today.

Lat Pulldown: 165x10 to failure
DB Shrug: 100x15 to failure (forgot wraps so had to drop weight significantly)

Balls to the wall workout. Finished it in less than 20 minutes. Unfortunately I couldn't do deadlifts because the power lifting station was sectioned off. :fawk2:
 
12/7 Triceps/Shoulders :dance2:

My triceps felt like they were cut open with a knife. Very effective workout.

12/9 Legs
Pre Workout: 1.5 scoops White Flood

Standing Calf Raise: 200x10, 275x14 to failure, held weight up until failure
Seated Calf Raise: 90x15 to failure, held weight up as before
Leg Extension: 110x13, 195x16 to failure
no break
Squats: 225x15

Didn't have a spotter for today so I didn't get to do the weight that I wanted, but grueling lifts regardless.

Unfortunately I had to make a trip to Taco Bell today due to the fact that one of my co workers dropped my glass Tupperware on the ground and ruined my steak and rice lunch. :worried:
 
Ok, hit a speed bump this last week due to jury duty. 8 hours a day with a 45 minute lunch break and no outside food or drinks allowed. So since I wasn't able to eat for shit, I decided to take that week off from lifting. Now that jury duty is over, I'm going to hit it hard tomorrow.
