Hey dude, you're doing great and your back really is getting carved like crazy. I'd have to say the funniest thing about your journal is the fact that we do almost exactly the same weight (except for in legs) as each other. Even in reps :P.

*Cracks neck* Was a crazy 3 day weekend, my diet was shot to hell while my parents went on vacation and left me home alone, I can't remember a whole lot of details but lets just say it feels good to be back at the weights on monday again. Also did some max ot cardio in the evening.

Chest/triceps..a question folks for those who do chest/shoulder/tricep in one day, how the HELL do you do shoulder and chest on the same day??? I mean I feel like my form is really good, not perfect maybe, but pretty damn good on the chest movements I do, but when I go to do some military press after about 6 sets on the chest my shoulders cant put up near as much weight as when I do shoulders fresh or on a different day. Anyone else have this problem?Anyway I tried to up the weight on flat bench today and met with disaster, my guess is more likely the weekend kicked my ass and stunted my full focus.

Flat Benchpress Barbell: 180lbs. 1x5 175 1x5 175 1x4

Incline Dumbbell Press: 50lbs. 2x6 upping the weight to 55lbs. friday

Dips 1x6 ..Really should start adding weight i guess.

Triceps:

Laying Tricep Extensions: 70lbs. 2x6 ....I think im going to drop the weight to 60lbs. next week, im going the full stretch and everything but I think maybe im not keeping my elbows in as much as i should.

Tricep Cable Pushdowns: 130lbs. 2x6

And my max-ot cardio for tonight continues to become more intense! I upped intensity to '8' and '3' from '7' and '3' one minute intervals and maintained a rpm of around 80 on higher intensity and 85 on lower intensity. Distance traveled: 3.57 miles Calories Burnt: 206 Average Speed: 13.2mph's :

ya, not as much weight maybe, but I think its good to work shoulders with the isolated lifts after the BP....
Hey, good job on your benchpress Mike

I missed my workout yesterday, took a little 007 trip. My friend was out of town for the week for a family vacation to the keys(we live in florida), so he left his car keys with me. His cousin who also happens to be my girlfriend lives in tallahassee about 180mi. from where i live. Well since my car is broke down and I dont have the money to fix it, I decided I'd take a trip to see her. Roughly 3 hours to get there and 3 hours back, I told my parents I went on a fishing trip...ANyway long story short i left around 7am to tallahassee and didnt get home till around 9, so i was definitely too tired to workout :

Decided to do some chest today, didnt really have much energy, I'm not use to working out in the evening(6pm approx).

Benchpress: 175 1x6 1x5
Incline benchpress: 150 2x6
Decline benchpress: 155 1x6 1x5

I obviously was not at fullpower on my workout so i decided to forego triceps today.

Monday, chest/tricep... Ok crazy weekend last night me and my friend got in a car wreck. We were going through a plantation neighborhood on the main road and we were going about 30mph when we come up to an intersection where we have right of way, well these kids in an accord or civic ran a stop sign coming from our right so my friend swerves the steering wheel at the last second but we still hit his front and it knocks us both forward diagnally, and since we were only going 2miles from mcdonalds to the kids house we forgot to put on our seatbelt, stupid i know but you know you forget SOMETIMES, and i ended up breaking his rear view mirror off and the stand its attached too with my head at the ahirline, well right after impact he looked at me and said "oh ****, mike get out of the car" i felt my head and I was bleeding real bad so he thought my head was busted open maybe. Anyway long story short I got away with a nasty bruise/deep cut on my my forehead covered by the hair, and my friend got a real bad bruise on his shoulder and some heavy pain relievers. His car wasnt so lucky the 93 corolla is R.I.P. now the engine was crushed and his windows are ruined. Now both of us are out of a car but oh well. The other kid was at fault so hell get at least 3 grand for his car, he still had 1100 to pay off his parents though so it still sucks. Anyway my head kind of hurts but im ok.

Dumbbell Benchpress:
65lbs. 3x6

Dumbbell Incline press:
55lbs. 2x6

Dumbbell Decline press:
60lbs. 2x6 I really dont like decline dumbbell at all.

Tricep:
60lbs. 3x6 skullcrushers Fixed my form on skullcrushers!

Tricep cable extensions: 100lbs. 2x6 working on form this week.

Anyway a pretty good wokrout today i almost decided not to go becuase of last night but said screw it and Im glad i did.

Hardcore, Mike. Not even a car crash can keep you from those weights. Just make sure you aren't overdoing it. You might have some micro trauma and wake up pretty sore for the next few days.
