[EasyEJL]

Log update from day 20 , shoulders and triceps. I trained last night but I'm just getting a chance to log this morning. It was a tough workout. My son was in hardcore whining mode, which proved to be very distracting. I actually forgot to do one of my triceps exercises.

Shoulders and triceps:


Delts:

Standing barbell presses:

warmups: three warm up sets

Set#1:135 for 8

Set#2: 155 for 8

Set#3 155 for 8, drop set 135 for 6



Dumbell lateral raises:

Set#1: 40s for 15

Set#2 40's for 12

Set#3: 40's for 10

Rear delts on lying on bench:

Set#1: 40's for 8

Set#2: 30's for 15

Set#3: 30's for 15

Dips: two sets of set of 30

Triceps:


Pushdowns:

Set#1 90 lbs for 20

Set#2: 100 lbs for 15

Set#3: 100 for 15


Overhead rope extensions on cable machine:

Set#1: 80 lbs for 15

Set#2: 90 lbs for 12

Set#3 90 lbs for 12

2 sets of dips (20 reps)


As you may have gathered from my complaining this was not the best workout ever.

Observation: The effects of RPM seem to be lasting longer now than when I first started using it. This is the exact opposite of most other stimulant products I have used.

Log update from day# 21. I trained back last night.


Pulldowns to the front:

Set#1: 150 for 8

Set#2 160 for 8

Set#3; 170 for 8


bent rows lying on incline bench :

Set #1: 135 for 8
Set#2: 185 for 8
Set #3: 185 for 8

wide grip seated rows:

Set#1:170 for 8

Set#2:160 for 8

Set#3: 160 for 8



Shrugs w/ bar

Set# 1: 275 for 8

Set# 2: 315 for 8

Set# 3: 315 for for 8


Pullups:
Two sets of ten


This was a nice solid workout. No record breaking lifts. However, regardless of the amount of weight I lift the result is always an INSANE pump.

I will be picking up some 45 lbs plates this morning. So I can really start pushing the envelope on my chest days.

Today was a strength test day for flat bench. It went ok. I was a little disappointed how hard 405 went up. However, I think the fact that I took such a big jump in weight (30 lbs) over my previous lift hurt me a bit. It was just that 375 felt easy, that I decided to just go right to 405. I think the fact that i have been working with higher reps on bench for so long has also affected my body's ability to adjust to one rep lifts.

Anyway,enough with the excuses. I will be working lots of doubles and triples over the next few weeks before I try and max out again.

I cut my biceps workout short because my elbow has just been aching. I only did two exercises. I still ended up with an insane pump. My arms measured 19 1/4 after the workout. That's a 1/4 inch improvement over my last measurement just a short while ago.

Solid workout, but I have had better. The kids cut into my sleep again. Stil had pretty good endurance and an excellent pump. I'm starting to accumulate some nagging injuries (shoulder, wrist, elbow) to add to the existing back and knee issues. I will be taking a couple of weeks off after I complete this log.

Log update from day #27. Back day.


Pulldowns to the front:

Set#1: 160 for 8

I finished the workout w/ three more sets of rows lying on a bench (3sets of 15). I also did one set of pullups for ten reps.

The started the wokout completely lacking any motivation. However, I quickly turned it around and had a very solid workout. It still surprises how much energy and endurance the RPM/Drive give me when they kick in. The Neovar alsoseems to be giving me a nice additional edge on top of that.

What kind of carbs you throwing in after Neovar Devil?

I have been eating a cup of oatmeal after my first dose in the morning. I usually have a whole wheat bagel along with some simple carbs such as gatorade after my evening dose which I take right after I finish training.

log report day #31. I felt terrible yesterday and did not train. I felt like crap again today and left work early. I came home and took a two hour nap. I woke up and actually felt a little better. I ran some errands and then sat around for a while. I was bored so I decided to do an abreviated chest workout.

Flat bench:

Two light warm up sets.

Set 1: 245 for 3

Set 2: 275 for 3

Set 3: 325 for 3

set 4: 345 for 3

set 5: 355 for 3+ drop set of 315 for 6

set 6: 315 for 8

That's all I did today. Actually my strength was pretty solid. However, I had nothing left when I was done, so I decided not to push it any further.

It angers me that a vegetarian sick w/ the flu can still bench 355.

I try to avoid looking at the numbers at this point, and just read the summaries
