LEGS, Friday, January 7, 2005
Leg Press
Lying Hamstring Curls
Seated Calf Raises
Leg Extensions
Notes: Didn't do freeweights so I would put absolutely NO stress on my arm. (SLDLs would not have been good today). I got 6PPS for leg press, I think I had 7PPS in me but I just moved on. I felt like SUCH a jackass using only these machines! lol I wanted my free weights so bad. But then I looked around the room and saw people using cables and other machines so I was like hmmm I guess I do sorta fit in now.

Probably a fluke. I think sleep, food intake and stress have a major affect on lifts after you've been doing it for a while. Plus you had that off time while you were recuperating from your arm pain. The brain takes a while to get back in the groove after a few days of rest, I find.

BACK/ABS, Tuesday, January 11, 2005
Deadlifts 10 x 45 lbs, 8 x 135 lbs, 6 x 225 lbs, 4 x 300 lbs, 4 x 310 lbs, 2 x 320 lbs, 2 x 330 lbs
Pull Ups BW x 6, BW x 6, BW x 6
One Armed Dumbbell Row 6 x 45 lbs, 6 x 50 lbs, 6 x 55 lbs
Hanging Leg Raises BW x 8, BW+20 x 8, BW+25 x 8
Decline Sit Ups BW x 6, BW+25 x 6, BW+50 x 6, BW+70 x 10
Dumbbell Side Bends 6 x 65 lbs, 6 x 75 lbs, 6 x 85 lbs
Notes: Started new deadlift routine with 4,4,2,2 instead of 3x6. Also first time using double overhand grip instead of mixed. Pull ups felt much easier and more explosive, I was so happy  I'm also gonna start keeping track of abs because I feel like I'm using the same weights over and over again. Also on my sit ups, I never let my back touch the padding, I stop right above it to make it slightly more difficult. |

Are you lifting strapless? My grip gave out long before my back did when I used the double overhand. You got some grip. |

No I started using straps maybe a month ago. Before I did 6x305 or 310 lbs with mixed grip, no straps or chalk. Straps make life so much easier on this lift. Low 300s is nearly double my body weight, plus chalk is not allowed at my gym, so straps were my only option. Gotta work on that grip extra now. |

I haven't saw your journal in a while, somehow my topic notifications got messed up. Those are some impressive deadlifts. The straps are making you happy huh? Keep up the good work - Double your body weight - wow.

CHEST, Wednesday, January 12, 2005
Bench Press 10 x 45 lbs, 8 x 115 lbs, 6 x 135 lbs, 4 x 160 lbs, 4 x 170 lbs, 2 x 180 lbs, 0 x 190 lbs
Incline Dumbbell Press 6 x 40 lbs, 6 x 50 lbs, 6 x 55 lbs, 4 x 60 lbs
Flyes 6 x 40 lbs, 6 x 45 lbs, 4 x 50 lbs
Dumbbell Press 15 x 35 lbs
Notes: I'm pretty darn sure I could have gotten one rep at 190 but the spotter (someone I just randomly asked) grabbed the weight really fast, I was like what the heck but oh well. DB press was light, but I couldn't keep my arms from wobbling for the life of me I was so tired. Good workout. Oh yeah I'm also doing 4,4,2,2 with bench like I am with deadlifts. And the 180 felt surprisingly lighter than expected.  Ah yes, and since I did back yesterday, every time I unracked the weight, my back would crack lol. |

Bench looks good. Looks like low reps at higher weight is working out nicely.
And to answer your question about weighted chins, I use an old leather belt that I hook the weight to with a very short bungie cord. To keep the weight from bouncing up and down and taking out the jewels, I grip the plate(s) between my knees. It works just fine.

I use an old 44" gun belt - now that I have a 30" waist - I don't use it anymore. A short length of chain and a carabiner hold the weight. No bouncing - bouncing weights in that area is just too frightening.

haha I'll have to remember not to let the weights bounce around AT ALL. It'll be bad enough with 5-10 lbs to start, I don't need any further embarrassment!

5 to 10 pounds is not an embarrassment - remember this is in addition to your body weight. Look at how many people can't pull body weight and have to just do lat pulls. I remember doing 50 lb lat pulls and struggling to do one body weight pull up - it wasn't that long ago - so if you can do 5 lb over body weight or 10 or 100 or whatever - none of it is anything to be sneezed at. Just be sure to go to the bathroom first - kind of like squats - only in the other direction. Now that is embarrassing. Of course others in the gym might just say - now tha't hardcore - I've heard of working out till you puke but till you pee on yourself - hardcore.
