550!?

NICE. Really great to see that you can jump right back into things SF, I am absolutely loving your progress. Impressive as always, Westside style training has always worked out well for you. Keep it up!

DE Bench Day

Thanks, I love the routine and the lifestyle, really. I don't know how I ever let myself slip from it. Changed things up a bit today. Went really heavy (for me anyways) and low reps on my DE day.

OH DB Press
4 sets of 2 with 95 (never, in my life, have I come close to this)
2 sets of 2 with 85

Elbows Out Skulls
8 sets of 3 with 165

Dips
12 sets of 1 with +160 (if you're counting, that makes it 370lb.)

BB Front Raise
4 sets of 5 with 60

I'm going to be so sore.

Holy sh*t SF!

What supplements are you taking, out of curiosity? You're not crossing over to the darkside are you, lol? I am starting my first PH cycle next week, I can't wait. Not to offend but you're strength is just nuts bro! +160 on dips, that's insane. 95's for seated DB presses, crazy man. Keep it up!

S. Fever · 01-Apr-04, 02:51 PM

Well, it's not like I was repping with +160.

Currently I'm only using creatine+ribose and the usual slew of protein/weight gainer shakes.

The key to getting 2 reps with the 95s is that a spotter helped me get the DB's up before each set. If I would have had to fight them up to start off, I don't think I would have gotten anything.

And I'll see you in your journal about the PH thing.

MonStar · 01-Apr-04, 03:02 PM

Nice man. +160 is still friggin' awesome whether its for a single or for reps, I am definitely impressed. Creatine is just a staple in my supplements, I'll never stop that. Yeah I think I am just weak in seated DB presses, don't ask me why. I absolutely love keeping up with your progress SF, keep updating your journal here!

How much are you weighing these days? Any new pics?

S. Fever · 01-Apr-04, 03:06 PM

I'm down around 210 an average. I meant to get pics when I started this journal, but I somehow managed to not take any. Look for some before the weekend.

atherjen · 01-Apr-04, 08:27 PM

I still cant get over all the weight your playin with!! NICE!!!! very impressive. I dont think that strong is a strong enough word to describe it!

Keep it up! !!

ME Sq/DL Day

Went a little bit different this time around and used SLDL as my ME lift instead of an accessory lift. Pleased with my strength on them, though surprised I could the weight that long. Grip must be coming along nicely.

PR's in 2 places.

MonStar · 06-Apr-04, 06:12 PM

Workouts are looking damn good SF.

: Strength is really impressing me, still. Keep it up.

I have been trying to talk to you lately about my training. I have decided to throw in some Westside principles and I am wondering what you think. Basically I am going to pick one lift and work up extremely heavy and then the rest of the exercises just keep them as assistance work. Basic push/pull/legs split, nothing new or confusing. Lemme know what you think SF. Thanks man.

Hey SF, what are face pulls again?

Skullcrusher strength is damn impressive, as usual. Nice work.
