[B][U]Tuesday Workout[/U][/B]

It was going to be a rest day - which means house work - but the kids called at 5 pm and got my OKAY to order pizza for dinner so i figured i'd go to the gym for a workout. Wife is away atm so i've got double duty. so i got them settled with pizza and homework and went to do Shoulders - one of my favorite workouts.It was awesome.


Shoulders & Traps
I am doing okay w/ the traps but really want to build the top of my delts for that "boulder shoulder" look - suggestions welcome.

RJH - Note i kept the number of sets down and tried to go heavy as i could on the weight. i Could have pulled out 3 or 4 more shoulder/trap exercises, but decided to see if I could make this work for growth.

Warm up 2 sets 15 x DB military Press 35/45

DB Military press
10x65
7x75
5x75
4x75 - Total and complete muscle failure!

DB front raise/DB side raise SUPERSET

9rep x 15 each
9rep x 20 each
6rep x 25 each then drop set 6x20;5x15;6x10;8x5
great striations popping on these and my traps really looked good.

Clean & Jerk - push press (Kind of a combo, i guess)
8 x 85
6x105
4x105; 5x105 restpause got really winded on these - does that count for HIIT cardio?
supersetted the cleans with side raises 10lb plate in ea hand - more of a stretch than anything but it felt good.Must have looked good too, because more than once i caught the cutie in the pink leotard watching from behind....lol - kept my form straight up!
Barbell upright rows
3 sets 7x75 to failure
Finished with a few cable side raises and then 20 mins cardio (Had no earphones so couldnt last the full 30 mins)


Afterwards my traps felt HUGE (that's where i shot the IGF) and my shoulders were wasted - just the way I like it! LOL

BTW - i added T4 into the mix a week ago to max out the effectiveness of the GH. No sides to speak of.

Great thread. Keep it up. Really like what the Deca is doing.

Quick update - fukked weekend 'cause I had to work (and not for any extra $$$) - just leaving the office now and have some good anger to direct towards squats!

Yesterday got in a decent chest workout Topped the Incline press with last set of 7 at 245. Got to get up to 275 - I want to see those quarters up there. Followed that with a pyramid up to 100's DBs for incline db press - needed a spotter to get it up the first time but was strong until the 7th rep.. Reasonably happy with that. Then did some fliyesw and pec dek, hammies, deads.

Ate lots o carbs this weekend - feeling sorry for myself - on a good note - they were healthy carbs - not ALL cookies... weighing in close to 210 now - stoked about that!!!!

later dudes!

 

[RJ]

These seem to make my vastus medialis (teardrops) pop - but what do you guys think is best for the vastus Lateralis (side quad) to get some width to my thighs?

squats. the answer will always be squats. All that fancy work is fine, but real meat is added by the big movements.

U did all that?? Smoked and had sex

 

[leanbody]

squats. the answer will always be squats. All that fancy work is fine, but real meat is added by the big movements.

okay - so not the answer i was looking for - I was thinking there was a secret exercise i cold do for 3 or 4 reps at low weight that would make them explode......... Thanks for the ugly truth ;-) I did have a hella nice leg workout tonight - so i'm on the right track!

U did all that?? Smoked and had sex

Don't be jealous - I'm 17 years married and it may not happen again for 2 years...hahahahaha

later broskis

 

[RJ]

Squats
10 x 135
10x135
8x185
8x225 easy as pie!!!!
5x275 (had a nervous spotter so he helped a bit too much..)
5x295 same spotter - could have done these unassisted tho - I am sure. felt strong as an ox!

first off, congrats on the interview.

second, i gurantee if you wouldn't have done so many reps at 225 you could have gotten 315x5, maybe more. warmups are great, but don't turn them into high volume worksets unless that is what you are shooting for. Remember, strength = size.

 

[leanbody]

Thank God for the Gym!

RJ - thanks for the suggestion - i agree - i'm going for that next time!


Okay - really bad day - came in #2 at the interview and they decided to go with a big corporate firm instead of a nice mid size creative firm - suks but that's the work world now.

don't ever feel bad about eating Lean. The body needs that, especially when trying to lean out, to stay sane and to keep the meto jumping.

Cheat meals = success.

 

[leanbody]

Yo dudes; haven't updated in a while, but have had some beastly workouts and feel like i am doing some serious damage - so growth can't be far behind! lots of minor cheating going on for the holiday so i am up to 212 - prolly a lot of water with all the carbs i am snarfing.

Down in LA for a few days and got in a hella good workout at Golds Commerce - never been there before but every machine known to man PLUS jacuzzi, steam and sauna! I was in heaven! Polly did too much in terms of # of exercises and reps, but had a good time. DBS went up to 150 so i put up the 110's for 7 reps x 2 on the incline bench. Preexhausted my chest on the Incline bench and had no problem getting 245 x 8 reps for the last 2 sets! Felt strong as a fukkin ox - hahahaha. then i did a bunch of flyes, pullovers and finished with some tricep work. met some cool guys too and got a couple of spots.
tomorrow it's Golds Pasadena - if it doesn't rain i can lift outdoors there! (Love LA!) And why the LA Tour of gyms, you ask? i'm visiting the in laws - so there is nothing to do here but eat or shop - so i'd rather sweat.....Could have gone to the rose bowl today If i had brought my golf clubs - That would have been a good time... losing balls in the trees and ponds...hehehehe (now a great golfer)

peptide update - don't like to travel w/ pins so taking 4 days off from the peps. That may be a good idea - i'll see when i get back.

Later guys - hope u all are enjoying the holidays!

[mich29]

very very very solid log here great numbers.

 

[leanbody]

9 weeks in!

very very very solid log here great numbers.

thanks mich. the log keeps me honest and I'm getting some great feedback. Also trying to put out as much info to others that might be helpful.
Cut to 2011!



Quick summary of my impressions at the end of week 9:
* really glad i decided to go for 20 weeks - i feel like i am just getting into the sweet spot in the last few weeks. i'd be bummed if I quit next week or in 2 weeks.
1. the added deca (400mg/wk) seems to have helped with the joint pain & recovery
2. acne has been more or less under control - lots of "exfoliating" going on - in other words scrubbing the shit out of my shoulders, chest and upper arms. Way better than my last test deca cycle.
3. peptides seem to be working... (that's hard to say really, but my impression anyway) I am staying lean - can still see abs at 9 weeks and +10lbs. The gh may also have something to do with the join pain going away too.
4. Peptides require lots of dedication and lots of pins - i go thru about 12-15 slin pins every day and do it 3 times a day.
5. lesson learned: (again!) HIIT 30 mins after workout is the best cardio - seems to keep the BFat bay.
6. Strength is WAY UP - that seems to happen with test cycles and i love it. Also the recovery time is 1 day shorter so i am on a 5days on, 1 day off schedule. that way i get more training in.
7. Tried the melatonin peptide - works amazingly well to add natural tan (along with a small amount of tanning booth) i only do the booth every 10 days and people ask if I have been in mexico on vacation! Also produces lots of night wood - fun at first but makes sleeping a little difficult at times.



Leg Workout!
Cant believe that this has become one of my favorites. i am really stoked to see some changes and hoping for more size in the next 11 weeks....
Did bigevil's leg routine - it's amazing how much stronger i am now than 4-5 weeks ago!

Leg extensions (No negatives)
+ 10lbs for all over last week
25@50 lbs
20@70
10 + 6@120

7 full reps, 7 top 1/2 reps;7 bottom half
had to do rest pause before last 7 reps

1 DROP SET: rest pause again on last 2 drops

LEG PRESS:
30 x 2 plates ea side
20x4 plates ea side
1set max reps w 5plates w feet 4 inches apart 15 reps
1set max reps w 5 plates w feet shoulder width 10+6reps

1 set max reps with 2 plates w feet 1 foot apart. fukkin 55! These were excruciating! - i did rest pause (2-5 sec ) for the last 25

Walking Lunges
1 set w a 40 lb BB; about 100 steps[/B]

SQUATS thot i would be weak on these since i was so spent on the leg press, but they felt good. i put a 18" box under my butt and went for a touchdown on each rep.
8x135
8x185
6x225
8x225
8x245 tough
6x255 very tough but the box gave me some confidence that failure at the bottom would not be catastrophic
6-255.
Finished with 4 deload sets 10x135 felt like lifting a feather - hahahaha and super ROM & form! (I coulda been on YouTube!)

ABS & Calves
3 sets 20-10 reps on the seated calf machine w/ 3 plates

What a whiny bastard i be!

Hey guys so I've been super stressed with personal and work issues so I've been eating bad. Losing the schedule, missing meals eating "protein" (almost as bad as candy) bars and about 4 brownies last night! Whoa is me - i need to kick myself in the ass and get back on the diet!

Having said that, workouts have been great - I feel the intensity, but I think that I am not hitting the heaviest numbers. At this point I am a little confused if I should go for heavy or go for better form, more reps. i want muscle mass... Did well on Mon workout and Tuesday was a rest day.

I'm Mr. Mom this week so juggling kids work and workouts. Last night was great - did a cardio boxing class 5-6 pm; got home fed the kids did their homework (J/K) and got back to the gym at 10pm.

Yup - well the good news is that I finished the box of bars so no mo in the house. And i bought $390 worth of groceries yesterday - at least half was meat, chicken and tilapia!

30 mins pussy cardio on Bike 200 cals! whoopie! (i was too wiped to do HIIT)

So i feel better today about my workouts and progress. the arm workout was weird - My Bi's ached all night long and I couldn't sleep!

So i'll close with a couple of positive stories - went to a bookstore on Fri night and bought a book (very cool) an illustrated anatomy book on the human body - all parts, muscles, bones, heart, brain, lungs, etc. And the clerk asked me if i was a bodybuilder! LOL - First time i think my wife was proud of my physique!

Second story - My bicep is now too big to stick in the blood pressure machine at the drug store! Same on I've used for 2 years, but hella tight now and just reads error! hahahahahaha
