haha bad boy? nah, just on the weekends....
June 23rd, 2004
Squat:
135 x 10
225 x 5
315 x 2
275 x 4
Absolutely horrible sets here, no strength at all, felt like absolute ****. Was so discouraged I decided to scrap the leg day and do arms 
Superset: Close Grip EZ Curl to Skull Crusher:
70 x 12, 12
70 x 12, 12
70 x 12, 12
Superset: Kickbacks to Seated DB Curl:
25 x 12, 12
25 x 12, 12
25 x 12, 12
Very controlled reps here, tight squeeze, pumps were amazing, veins were poppin', pain in my hands from all the blood though, forearms and biceps hurt too. I'm seriously thinking about stopping the v-12 for a bit, and see how it feels without it, because honestly the pumps are starting to hurt and become a nuisance.
Superset: Cable Extensions w/ Rope to Hammer Curls w/ Rope:
140 x 12, 80 x 12
140 x 12, 80 x 12
140 x 12, 80 x 12
Overall, horrible workout, who scraps legs like that? One of the worst days I've had in awhile, not sure if its the no carbs with the cutting Im doing, or the EC, or what, but right now I feel absolutely dead, like I cant move and could just fall asleep. GRRRRR |

Don't worry griff, it happens to everyone;we all have our good days and bad days. You still did some nice lifts there so I wouldn't be complaining!

Don't sweat the hiccup on legs. You might actually benefit from the time off and find your legs that much stronger than before.
With all the work you put in in the weight room, you've earned a "bad" day. Give it some perspective -- your worst leg day is still better than most people's best. |

I just read your thing about the car and that guy (black civic) well I just had a recent road rage problem that completely has made me hate with a passion someone that would do something like that.. Just tell me if he says anything else, I'll drive up, we can workout together, and then we'll go dominate him.

July 1st, 2004
Flat Bench:
135 x 8
185 x 4
245 x 4 (3, 1 CR)
255 x 4 (3, 1 CR)
265 x 4
Good sets here, felt VERY strong after a week off. My strength has not been effected at all by this little break, in fact its probably a good thing I took a little time off. Didnt have a spotter, so I didnt want to go any heavier today.
Incline DB Press:
65 x 10
75 x 10
85 x 8
Vertical Bench Machine:
185 x 8
185 x 8
185 x 8
For some reason this machine absolutely torches my triceps, really good controlled negatives here.l
V-Bar Cable Extensions:
200 x 10
200 x 10
200 x 10
Overall, very pleased with the quick workout I got today. Its good to be back at it again. I was so busy this week workin overtime plus the fact that my friend just turned 21. Really lookin forward to a deadlift session tomorrow, Ive been workin on my grip strength like a mad man, (got some of those gripper things 2 weeks ago) so I'm really hopin that it'll pay off.

July 6th, 2004:
Just got back from an amazing weekend up at my buddies camp. Drank a lot of beer, got to chill with some cool girls and eat lots of burgers and stuff. But now thats over....Time to get serious again, I'm makin sure my diet is dead on for the next few weeks. I wont be boozin NEARLY as much as I have been, its time to reach some new goals.
Right now my new goals are to Deadlift 500, Bench 315, and get my weight down to about 230-235, this could be a difficult task, but I'm willing to put my neck out there and hopefully reach this all in the near future.
Flat Bench: Reverse Pyramid:
135 x 8
205 x 3
295 x 1! PR: It absolutely flew up off my chest, NO problem what so ever
300 x MISS : SO SO close here, went about half way, faught it for 3-5 seconds but didnt have enough, I know for sure I have it in me, so I'm not disappointed.
245 x 4 (4 paused reps)
245 x 4 (4 paused reps)
Paused reps felt awesome! The last rep on the 2nd set of them was tough, went up slow, but I got it. My bench has absolutely exploded recently. I think my form is really the reason here, that and the close grip stuff I've been doing. I've been turning my hands back so that my palms are parallel to the floor, and it seems to make all the difference in the world, I've also been pushing the weight towards my face as it gets towards the top.
Incline BB Press:
185 x 5
135 x 10
135 x 10
These sets were just humorous, I stood there, in shock, wondering why my strength sucked so much, then I realized that the bench was at about 55 degrees! My front delts were on fire along with my triceps, that bench SUCKS! I guess it was nice for a change, but its non adjustable, and I dont think I'll be doing it again anytime soon.
Lifefitness Pectoral Fly to Rear Delt Superset:
150 x 10, 120 x 10
150 x 10, 120 x 10
150 x 10, 120 x 10
These felt great, kept my fingers out, and just used my palms, really hit my chest hard, was the first time I've done the rear delts on this machine, and MAN does it really hit them hard, it was exactly what I needed, I'm gonna add this to my workout.
Skull Crushers:
80 x 10
80 x 9.5
80 x 6
Triceps were totally wasted at this point.
Overall I'm pleased with my workout, great bench session, no complaints there, the incline was probably a waste although it really hit my shoulders hard. Definitely liked the feeling in my triceps after the workout was over.
