Going to look at you guys logs in a few. I know I haven't been crazy on updates here but I here are some highlights from the last two workouts.
Saturday - Lower rep lower body
Curls 115x8 - my biceps tendon on my right arm is tight so this started hurting it. Going to lower weight and slow reps down here work on stretching the tendon. It is a tiny bit tighter just from the 2 shoulder surgeries I have had.
Calves - Who cares my calves are big just went through the motions to get blood in them...
Romanian Dead lifts - 415x8 with tons of gas in the tank for extra reps on Saturday. That is up 10 lbs and far easier to lift.
Leg ext 250x8
Leg Press 900x8, Widow Maker - 810x20
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Tuesday - High Rep Upper Body 3 sets per 15-20 reps 1st set a little lighter, short rest periods.
Cable Crossovers 80 per side x 20, x 18
HS Incline Bench 80 per side x20, x15
Straight Arm Pull Down - 75x20, 75x20
Wide Grip Lat Pull - 120x20, 120x17
DB Lateral Raise 25x20, 25x19
DB Front Raise 25x20, 25x13
Wide Grip Rows - I can't remember
Read Delt Fly Machine 110x20, 110x15
Overhead Rope Triceps Ext. 80x20, 80x18
Close Grip Dips bodyweight x20, x15 wow I really beat the tar out of every pushing muscle in my upper body. Fresh I can do more than 50 dips without blinking... Triceps are indeed sore today which is nice.
Okay so a little bit of info regarding a conversation I had with a competitive body builder Saturday. I have known him for years and years like early 90's... He has won multiple national level competitions and I just wanted to ask him to give me an honest critique of my physique. I basically asked point blank if I should not be worrying about bodybuilding and go into a Physique contest instead. Then let him know what the judges said at my first show regarding arms, shoulders and legs needing to come up. Now granted I was flat on the day of the show but it got into my head.
Well he told me that I was extremely proportionate and in his eyes there was no reason if I came into a contest in great condition that I couldn't do very well in my weight class. He has done several preps for others and really knows his stuff. He gave me a lot of insight and offered to help me with anything I need to get myself ready for a show. Diet, posing, peak week, all of it he would love to help me out. So I will be doing a show for sure. Not sure if it will be early next year or in the summer but it is on for sure! The first NPC show of the year around here is the Texas Shredder so If I plan to go early that will be the one. Otherwise I will be looking at a few other options in early to mid summer.
