Skipped abs and grip day today. My abs have been getting worked pretty well in my recent workouts and I'm actually using my CoC gripper right now, so I'm not too worried. I wanted to sleep in after my 13 hour shift at work before I had to return. And because I haven't been eating as much lately, my abs are coming out more. I must eat more! I hope leg day tomorrow goes well. I think I might do some higher volume before my time off and dropping reps. |

Yes, don't you dare let them abs show up. 
Seriously, I hope that leg day does go well for you. It's starting to look like that hamstring is actually going to have to take some time off. I see what you do with it hurting, Imagine what you will be able to do when it is correctly healed.

Ya see, I'm not taking the easy way out doing those high rep squat sets am I?  They seem to make your whole body tired and get your heartrate up like crazy. Squats take the longest recovery time for me. Why the high rep set?
Good call leaving for hamstrings alone for a session.

For the next week and a half or so I am ditching my workout plan. My wisdom teeth are coming out on August 12th, so I'll have to take time off. When I return, I'm starting a revised workout plan. I wanted to give the hammy a break and go lighter on squats cuz I'll be going heavier when I start up again.

CHEST, Saturday, August 6, 2005
Bench Press (Wide Grip) 10 x 45 lbs, 5 x 95 lbs, 3 x 135 lbs, 1 x 155 lbs, 1 x 185 lbs, 3 x 205 lbs, 6 x 185 lbs
DB Flat Press 5 x 70 lbs, 4 x 70 lbs
Tricep Pushdown 12 x 130 lbs
Front Raises 10 x 25 lbs, 10 x 25 lbs
Lateral Raises 10 x 25 lbs
Face Pulls 15 x 100 lbs
Notes: Very happy with my bench today. 185 is actually starting to feel "light" and go up pretty easy. Something came across my mind the other day doing pushdowns...do you guys use the straight bar or the rope to do them? Got a pump going from all my shoulder/tricep work. Then driving home I realized I hate the pump. It was hindering my ability to do things. I prefer the exhaustion heavy weights bring me  |

I use a straight bar with my hands right in the middle of it. I've been told however that the rope is more effective.
I kind of have a hard time thinking of 130x12 as a light weight though.

Both, I tend alternate between sessions. The sets with the rope feel less controlled, but I guess thats the idea.

To each his own, I love it! Its a great feeling after shoulder workout when you have to dip your head into your hand to put shampoo in your hair.

Maybe I'll mix it up with straight bar and rope from now on just for the hell of it. I guess the pulleys at my gym are easier, or I just have stronger triceps. I haven't done any tricep-specific work like skullcrushers or dips or anything recently to see just how strong they've gotten.

Dips don't have to be tricep-specific, they can be an awesome compound exercise. I like to use a slightly wider than shoulder width position, which would emphasize the triceps, but I tip forward about 20-30 degrees. This really shifts the stretch to the pecs. Thats another exercise where I tend to alternate. Sometimes I lean forward a bit, sometimes I just leave my hands behind my back and stay vertical.

lol well I know how dips work I always did mine straight up and down to nail the triceps. So I couldn't think of another tricep- specific exercise I do...so what! |

My bad, I've been giving a lot of advice lately. I almost forgot I was talking to the owner of the largest journal on DF.com
