bodybuilding..............


well sorta?

tuesday 11/28/06

first tuesday I haven't felt beat still, so it looks like saturdays are it instead of sundays.

started off with pullovers in the neck bridge (hey, the neck is part of the body "bodybuild") (sure the neck can get hit with other exercises, but try these and you'll see what I mean, these will sure give you a 20"neck)
NO NEVERMIND, don't try these, these are dangerous (they really are) but I sure love'em!

2-12lb bells x3
45x1
50x1
55x1
tanden grip bar 65.5+2-sets of collars x 2-singles+1-press PR!


Floor press with tanden grip bar, weight on 5"block, press started just above the chest (power, starting strength, plus close grip this hits the inner pecs nice)
150x3 2nd grips x3 3rd grips
172x1 2nd, x1 3rd
194x1 2nd
204x1 2nd grips (close grip) PR!
budged it on the 3rd grips (nothing else left)

2.5dumbell (thick dumbell)(been beat last few times with these, so I stayed at the same weight as lasttime, cause I struggled alot)

2.5dumbell "high pull" 84.5 loaded on handle (20lb handle at least)
2-singles ea. arm PR!

2.5dumbell "cleans" 64lb loaded on handle
5-singles ea. arm very little rest PR!

strongest I've felt on these for awhile, I think the heavy kettlebell workout I did on the 18th improved my dumbell cleans, however my grip must have improved, cause a 2.5handle is no match for a kettlebell on grip.

BOR's it's around the 2-month mark since I've done these, I want to go strict, but don't see the need to pump-out reps, (even form a bodybuilding standpoint) so I did something alittle differant.

tanden grip bar BOR standing on a 5"block 183lbs
1-rep 4thgrip (wide grip) right down to 1st grips (extra close) (1-rep ea. grip, no rest)

curl style same as above

I liked this, 4th grips are the hardest (wide grip) by the time I got to the extra close grip, my bicep,mid-section, and lats were hit good.

If I want to through around real heavy weight, I know better exercises for that, than swinging BOR's.

finished off with a trip to "bunnyland", incline dumbell flys
40lbers 10reps+2-presses focused on upper pecs doing all the work, gettine a good stretch keeping elbows bent. gotta admit the pump in the pecks felt nice, arms felt it also.

2-hand pinch
2-50's+bar+10+1.25
2-50's+bar+10+10+5

PR weight (1/4lb pr) 100lber+bar+5+2.75+2.75+2.5

been stuck for 2-weeks, it's a tough and patiant way to train, but it'll happen. (notice it's less weight than my warm-up, tells you how every thickness matters doesn't it)
