Ya Beef, its a race to 500 man, you better get goin, cuz I'm feelin a 480 pull in me

June 2nd, 2004

Squat:

135 x 5
225 x 5
315 x 5
325 x 3
335 x 2

Leg Press:

270 x 8
450 x 8
540 x 8
630 x 9.5! PR

Last set here was by far the most intense set of leg presses I've had, I havent done leg press in awhile and forgot how much I enjoy it, totally killed myself here, thought I'd only get 6 or so reps here, but kept goin. Hit a sticking point on the 10th, faught it and had to bail, overall very good sets though.

Ham Curl (1 Leg):

120 x 12
140 x 10
160 x 10
160 x 10

Seated Calf Raises:

90 x 20
180 x 12
180 x 12
90 x 30

Overall very very pleased with my workout today, my intensity in the gym has been AWESOME this week. I really dont know where I'm pulling this energy from, I think its because I havent been so strict with my diet and my calories have been up since when I was really cutting. My waist is down another inch to 37 despite me gaining maybe 5-6 pounds, everything is coming along great.

haha ya man, thanks for the support and welcome back, its really shootin up there, I'm lookin to get a video of a 475 dead lift on saturday.

June 3rd, 2004

Flat Bench:

135 x 15 (speed reps)
225 x 5
245 x 4 (3 and 1 Competition Rep)
245 x 4 (3 and 1 Competition Rep)
260 x 1 Comp Rep
270 x 1 Comp Rep

The old man was back, and this time he was talkin bench press It was awesome to have him help me here and give me some new ideas. Basically he told me to hit 245 as my working set, for 3 normal reps and 1 rep where I pause the bar on my chest, and explode when he yelled "HIT". It was pretty intense, that comp rep was hard but felt awesome, definitely in control. The rep at 270 actually went up easier then the 260. Next time I'm going to be doing a reverse pyramid starting with a warmup and 1 rep max, I'm looking to hit 285-290 for a comp rep, we shall see.

Close Grip Bench:

205 x 5 (4 and 1 Comp Rep)
205 x 5 (4 and 1 Comp Rep)
205 x 5 (4 and 1 Comp Rep)
205 x 5 Comp Reps

Incline DB Press:

75 x 10
75 x 10
75 x 8

French Press (EZ Bar):

70 x 10
70 x 10
70 x 8

Cable Crossovers:

70 x 15 w/ 10 second static hold
70 x 15 w/ 10 second static hold
70 x 15 w/ 10 second static hold

Overall very pleased once again with my workout, everything felt great, had a lot of energy and the lifts are starting to look pretty solid. I think adding these comp reps to my scheme will really help me a lot. I'm really lookin to hitting some new PRs on the bench. I'm gonna take tommorow off and hit cardio, then hit a pull day on saturday and get that video up and goin.
