Thanks, Firehawk. I always make sure the hotel has a gym, but they usually don't have barbells. Since I'm new to this way of lifting (heavy), I've never focused on deadlifts. But, from what I'm reading it sounds like they hit your core, back, and legs pretty hard so I'm going to add them to my routine. I've incorporated some of JGriff's advice into my workouts and my arms are fried today. YES! Looking forward to seeing the gains. Thanks again.

Overall pretty good workout today, squats felt great even though I didnt go very heavy, I think I'm gonna take the weight down slightly and work on really getting low and strong, definitely felt more comfortable today. Starting another cutting cycle, low carb with some refeeds now and then, lookin to shave off some more bf, we'll see how it goes, startin up an EC stack again tommorow.

Thanks Acuarius, ya, the lunges are killer, its hard to balance though with one leg on a bench while your doing squating over the other leg, very strange motion, but really beats up your quads.
Fire: haha what? whats gdog? pcp??? maybe I am on that, hmmm, just not sure what it is  |

135 x 10
205 x 4
290 x 1! PR
270 x 2 PR
255 x 4 PR
235 x 7.5 PR
Absolutely amazing bench session today, TOTALLY wasnt expecting to hit 290, this was the most intense I've been on the bench in I dont know how long. Was able to really piss myself off bad and flip out before these reps, they just popped up, it was crazy,the 235 just wouldnt stop, felt great. Messed up, but I thought of just poppin this dude I dont like over and over and over again while he was on the ground, I could just see it happening, man, its sick but it helped fire me up.
6" Rack Press:
315 x 6
365 x 3
315 x 10
Military Press:
115 x 8
115 x 8
95 x 12
Skull Crushers:
60 x 10
70 x 10
70 x 10
Hammer Strength Gripper:
1 Hand:
45 x 15, 15
45 x 15, 15
45 x 15, 15
2 Hands:
135 static hold x 35 seconds
135 static hold x 20 seconds
HOLY CRAP, hands and forearms were on fire, burned like hell, especially on those statics, but I really need to work my grip for those deads.
Overall very very pleased with my workout today, everything felt real strong. I've got Deads tommorow, So i'm hoping this intensity carries over into those and I have another workout like this.

hey jgriff - I also did the single leg lunges Wednesday night, supersetted w/ sissy squats, this was following 5 sets of regular squats like you did (not that high of weight for me of course!!!  )
I'm right there with you on those lunges kicking your butt! Today was real hard at work.....these are just FANTASTIC!!!! We need to do more of them...

Griff is your squat max a deep squat or parallel squat?

Well the bar almost hits the rack, so I guess itd be considered deep, definitely passed parallel, which is why when I go for the max it squishes me into the ground haha.

June 22nd, 2004
Flat Bench:
135 x 10
185 x 4
245 x 4 (3, 1 Comp Rep) this flew up like nothing, felt great
255 x 4 (3, 1 Comp Rep) the paused rep here actual felt pretty hard, rough set.
275 x 2! PR Faught the second rep for what seemed like forever, but it kept movin and I got it
280 x 1 (1 Comp Rep) This was great! Went up very easy for a paused rep, I was very pleased to hit this on my 4th set. I really think I have 295 in me for a normal rep, maybe even (dare I say) 300......
Close Grip Bench:
225 x 6
225 x 6 2nd set of 6 here KILLED my triceps, really faught this one out.
205 x 8
Lateral Raises:
30 x 12
30 x 12
30 x 12
Smith Machine Shrugs:
225 x 12
225 x 12
225 x 12
Overall good workout today, quick and effective. The laterals really hit my shoulders hard. The v-12 has been giving me UNREAL pumps lately, my arms feel like they are going to burst, painful at times.
P.S. Just got back from Montreal with 7 of my buddies, had an UNREAL weekend there, totally love that place. Let me just say that I love strippers, and for some reason they love me...haha man what a weekend.
