Jimmy Alto - Hyperdrol X2 and Mass FX Log

[Jimmy Alto]

Starting weight ~ 175
I lift weights 4 times a week, no cardio

Supporting supps:
Universal Shock Therapy
Universal Real Gains
ON Standard 100% Whey

Primary Goal is an increase in strength. Size and a more developed physique always welcome.

Diet is moderately clean, once in a while I'll have to cheat because I don't want to drink protein shakes for two meals in a row. I'm in college and meals eaten @ the cafeteria will say so. I carry a water bottle around so I'm always drinking water. Diet will be posted w/ work-out.

FRIDAY MARCH 27 WORKOUT


(reps @ weight)
DB Shoulder Press - 15,10,8,8,6 @ 25, 35, 40, 45, 45
DB Lat Raise - 8, 8, 8 @ 25, 25, 25
DB Front Raise - 8, 8 @ 20, 20 (started doing alt. instead of simultaneous, burns a lot more)
DB Shrugs - 10, 10, 10 @ 60, 60, 65
Standing BB Curl - 15, 10, 8, 6, 4 @ 30, 40, 50, 60, 70
Skull Crusher - 15, 10, 8, 6 @ 55, 65, 75, 85
Inc. DB Curls - 8, 8, 8, 8 @ 35, 35, 35, 30
Tricep Pushdown - 8, 8, 8 @ 60, 60, 60


Notes - This is the first workout where I've been able to do 35's for db curls so that's definitely an accomplishment. On another note, I've got some slight acne but nothing that isn't manageable. Almost definitely has to do w/ the fact that I ran out of facial soap too. I'll update the situation on this as it progresses.

MONDAY MARCH 30, 2009 WORKOUT

Bench Press
15, 10, 8, 6, 5 @ 95, 135, 165, 195, 225
Inc. Bench Press
15, 10, 8, 6, 4 @ 65, 95, 115, 135, 155
Fly Machine
10, 8, 6 @ 160, 175, 190
1 Arm DB Row

10, 8, 6, 4 @ 85, 100, 120, 140
Seated Row
10, 8, 6 @ 85, 100, 120


NOTES

For my last set of bench press I was supposed to do 4 reps but I was feeling good and managed to get 5 reps of 225 which is now my PR. Next work-out similar to this I'll definitely up the weight on my last set of bench press, inc. bench, and 1 Arm DB Row. I'll also probably increase weight for all sets on the lat. pulldown and seated row.

Forgot to post up Tuesday's workout...

TUESDAY MARCH 31, 2009 WORKOUT

Wide Grip Upright Row
8, 8, 8, 8 @ 70, 70, 75, 75

Lat DB. Raise Superset w/ Front DB Raise
8, 8, 8 @ 25, 20, 20/ 15, 15, 15

DB Shrugs
10, 10, 10 @ 65, 65, 65

Standing BB Curl
15, 10, 8, 6, 4 @ 30, 40, 50, 60, 70

Skull Crusher
15, 10, 8, 6 @ 55, 65, 75, 85

Inc. DB Curls
8, 8, 8, 6 @ 35, 35, 35, 35

Tricep Ext. DB
10, 10, 10 @ 45, 50, 50

Preacher Curl
8, 8, 8, 8 @ 65, 70, 75, 75

Tricep Pushdown
8, 8, 8 @ 60, 60, 60


Notes - Upright rows really hurt my ability to do the lat. raises right after so I had to lower the weights from what I usually do for the DB lat raise. Supersetting the front raises w/ the lat. raises also forced me to lower the weights I do for front raises. I increased the weight on the first 2 sets of DB shrugs so instead of doing 60 the first 2 sets, I'm doing 65 for all 3. This was the first time doing 35's for all 4 sets of DB curls although I couldn't get the last 2 reps in on the last set to get to 8. I replaced concentration curls (which I've skipped so far in every work-out that's been logged) w/ the preacher curl. Can probably do 75 for first 3 sets of preacher curl next time and up the last set to 80. Tricep pushdown also getting easier so I may up the weight by 10 lbs on the last set next time.

THURSDAY APRIL 2, 2009 WORKOUT

Flat BB Bench Press

Warm Up
110 lbs - 8 Reps
3 Min. Rest
140 lbs - 5 reps
3 Min. Rest
165 - 3 Reps
3 Min. Rest
195 - 3 Reps
5 Min. Rest
250 - 1 Rep
5 Min. Rest
220 - 2 Reps
5 Min. Rest

Work-out consisted of 10 5-rep sets @ 200 lbs with 3 minutes between sets. I got 5 reps for all sets except the last 3, which I got 4 reps for each. Then I did squats:

8, 6, 4 @ 95, 110, 120.

I started feeling nauseus after the last sets of bench, I had planned on doing 1 ARM DB Rows but I decided to skip them, get my squats down and get out. I cooled off a little back at my room and did 5 sets of 30 crunches once I started feeling better about 10 minutes after I left the gym.

NOTES:

I wasn't 100% sure how to think about the work-out, I had this done exact workout back on Feb. 26th w/ the same results, which I guess isn't bad considering this is a very different work-out than what I normally do. After the first set of squats I wasn't sure if I'd be able to up the weight from last time for the last 2 sets but I was. I actually felt like I'd be able to up the weight considerably the next time I do squats so I'll try 135 for 4 reps next time.
