Off today so and I wanted to switch out front sqts for leg press and I’m glad I did. Went up a whole 60 lbs! Curls felt a little sloppy for me today, will stick with that weight next time. I dropped the weight on calf Raises in order to ensure I got the form down right. Man what a burn !

Had some issues with the music I pic for the vid on youtube. Will get it in here asap. Also may not always have a vid for each workout but will try

The Gym was closed yesterday so I had to do this workout on a Saturday. SO I ended up doing a really early workout which wasn’t to bad. I moved the Front Sqats over to the Smith Mach so I could better control the movement.

No vid today!

 

[v1hyp]

Hey guys, I tried posting another vid as I did the previous two times and got this message "To be able to post links or images your post count must be 50 or greater. You currently have 42 posts". Ok I guess that new> so untill I get to 50 post you will either have to go to youtube or check out my IM web page (intensemucle.com).

 

[John Smeton]

Im in whoa man there some big jumps esp for DC. I always did 5-10 lb jumps. More power to you doing the big jumps. watch your form you don't want an injury. and I noticed you have an elbow brace on....did you have a serious injury? and what was are some things that healed it up? (I always say time off and would like to hear your perspective)(also joint supps, cortisone shot) mainly time off

Thanks for your comments. This is my second Blast so I look at the jumps as just moving up to the point of where I should be already but thanks for your concern, At 44 I make sure not to try anything to heavy. The wrap is actually for my forearm. I hurt it about two years ago doing DB Side Raises. Right now it mostly hurts when I do any type of Hammer curls movement or when I first start a pressing movements. I’ve taken time off for it and it gets better but then acts up once I start hitting it hard again. Just one of those things I’ll have to manage and monitor. I take it easy when I need to.

 

[John Smeton]

ice has helped me a lot before and after im going to start doing those Brock lesnar type jump in my bathtub full of ice for 10 minutes and see if I can physically stand it

Work out went really well. What usually hurts (Forearm, Shoulders) during my work out, really didn’t give me any problems today. Moved RD to my A1, raised the bar few inches higher than before (level w/knee)and moved the weight up some. 405 (a PR) felt heavy as S**t! Felt like my traps were going to snap from my shoulders.

 

[John Smeton]

yeah rack deads will give you some traps. great job man. thats some more reps and more weight.

TT: 160-8

Did a vid on the Seated press but my camera batteries died half way through the second set! Sorry Folks.

Driving to the gym and it started snowing (1st of the year). DB Press felt like s**t today holding them felt heavy, pressing them felt heavy and my I’m really feeling it now! I’m hoping this was just an off day and that I’m not hitting a wall with this exercise which would force me to change it out. Lat Pull down felt much better this time around. Had a lot more control on the lift. I went from doing my T-bar on the T-bat apparatuses do the more traditional, straight off the fool w/bar. Felt much better IMO. I also went to using a free bar for my Reverse Grip Tri-Presses. It just feels a whole lot better to me, more control less pain in the wrists. Another big change for me is that I will be following the nutritional and to some degree, training suggestion of Mangoat. Spoke with him today and he seems like a very nice guy with a load of information. I will be starting to post my diet along with my training routines also.

 

[John Smeton]

Thanks Bro And thanks for checking my log out. Doesn't seem like to many folks are that interested in it.

yeah there watching its just not that many folks have that much experience as trainees on here and don't have enough intensity to do Dc, like rugger.

.

what does tweaked mean? Pulled it? icing it and rest it.

 

[Royd The Noyd]

How old are you? On that first DB bench vid you were off center on the bench on set 2 and 3. Didnt seem to bother you but might wanna keep an eye on that.

Good log btw..

 

[v1hyp]

I felt a slight pull. 1st warm up I did the ez bar only,, 2nd put 50lbs on and felt it pull a bit. I could feel it all through my working sets. Everything is fine today though.

I was able to get on track after going shopping. The day as a whole went well. I spoke with Mangoat and we made a few more changes which will start showing up on here as we go.

 

[John Smeton]

I like conventional better; however, its good to do both ways. this is the three way split no because on the two way specific trap training like shrugs aren't worked. you include a movement like a deadlift that takes care of it or rack dead etc etc etc many others I can think of.

 

[v1hyp]

Good stuff man.I wish I could train DC style againg but my schedule won't allow.Keep the vids coming.

Thanks, I'm really enjoying it! So what type of routine are you doing now?

No,(M-W-F) this is a 2-way split. I just added shrugs into the mix because I feel I need to apply more attention to that area. I know they say that deads will help improve them but either I've never gone heavy enough or deads alone just don't work for me. I added the sumo (which I'm being told that I need a wider stance and to point my feet out some) not only for back thickness but for trap and ham improvement as well.

I added a few new exercises to the routine. Not sure if I’ll keep the Sumo’s with Leg Press, back feels really tight.


I’m not going to be posting what I eat anymore. Mainly, for two reasons. First, it just seems to becoming repetitious and second, It doesn’t appear as if anyone really gives a sh*t so I figure, Why bother. I will keep a log of what I eat if anyone cares to see it otherwise, I will just post comments here and there along with my body weight. As far as my view on this diet so far, I haven’t really seen much in weight gain or loss for that matter. I do feel as if
