ooooh, they're effective, all right. you add weight by holding a dumbbell between your ankles - you won't need much.

LEGS, Thursday, July 28, 2005
Paused Squats 8 x 45 lbs, 5 x 135 lbs, 3 x 185 lbs, 1 x 225 lbs, 5 x 255 lbs, 5 x 255 lbs
SLDLs 3 x 135 lbs, 3 x 185 lbs, 1 x 225 lbs, 1 x 275 lbs, 5 x 305 lbs
Seated Calf Raises 3 sets of 8
Notes: Squats were damn heavy today. I might stay at 255 another week before going to 260. Not only were they paused but they were pretty damn deep as well. Hammy wasn't too affected so I did my heavy SLDL set. If I did the second one, that would be asking for serious trouble, so I quit while I was ahead. No juice left for the high rep leg presses. I really gotta force myself to do them sometime lol. |

That's damn good bro. Especially with your hamstring issues.

CHEST, Saturday, July 30, 2005
Paused Bench Press 10 x 45 lbs, 5 x 95 lbs, 3 x 135 lbs, 1 x 145 lbs, 1 x 155 lbs, 4 x 185 lbs, 4 x 185 lbs
Decline Press 8 x 165 lbs, 5 x 165 lbs
Tricep Pushdowns 10 x 130 lbs
Front Raises 8 x 25 lbs, 8 x 25 lbs
Lateral Raises 10 x 25 lbs, 10 x 25 lbs
Face Pulls 15 x 95 lbs, 15 x 95 lbs
Notes: I hate paused benching. I'm getting my wisdom teeth out in 2 weeks, and when that time comes, I'm finding a new bench routine. Paused benching didn't do much for me last time I tried it, and hell I'm already stalled on week #2. Started too heavy probably, but I'm sure I have better gains elsewhere.
Made pushdown form better, more direct hit to triceps. Improved all around on shoulder work for once lol. |

Something is going right - your bench numbers are nothing to sneeze at. Important thing - are you getting a bit better somewhere each week? If so, keep at it, if not, change. And those pushdowns look great. What do you do? Step back from the bar a bit so you can put your shoulders over it to concentrate soley on the tris? Or step close and lock the elbows in to the body? Everyone seems to find a different way that lets them concentrate on tris little better on this one.

BACK, Monday, August 1, 2005
Deadlifts Off 35s 10 x 45 lbs, 5 x 135 lbs, 3 x 225 lbs, 1 x 275 lbs, 1 x 315 lbs, 2 x 365 lbs, 1 x 365 lbs
V-Bar Pulldowns 5 x 120 lbs, 5 x 150 lbs, 5 x 170 lbs
Chin Ups BW+15 x 5, BW+25 x 5
BB Curls 6 x 85 lbs
Notes: DLs off 35s hurt my hammy/ass way more than rack pulls. I wanted 4x2 today, which normally would be a piece of cake, but too painful today so I had to quit. Chins were rather difficult already unfortunately. Did wide grip BB curls so I didn't make very many reps lol. |

Those widegrip BB curls are tough, they feel so awkward. But hey, at least your doing them. Variety is a must.

It's hard to crank out quality chinups after heavy deadlifts and pulldowns. Try the chins before the pulldowns. I bet you get better results on the chins and don't lose much at all on the pulldowns.
