I'm starting this log as a continuation of my Anadraulic State log just for keeping track of numbers, getting advice, and possible video log for my trainining.


Height: 5'11
Weight: 242
BF: never bothered to test it.
Years training: 6 years but 4 years seriously

I enjoy lifting heavy and trying to keep form as clean as possible. My workouts are never usually same as i find i get bored easy but i do keep track of my numbers so that when i go back to that exercise i can try to beat it. I try to keep my rep ranges all over the map so that i stimulate both types of muscle fibres. My next two workouts will be a continuation of style of training i was doing in my other log. After that i'm thinking of trying out an fst-7 program to start working on some of my weak points. Anyways here's the first workout.


Legs:

Front Squats 135x10 / 205x8 / 275x5 / 345x2 (personal record)

Back Squats 135x10 / 185x10 / 235x10 / 285x10 / 335x8

Bench Step-ups 50x10 / 60x10 / 70x10

Standing Hamstring Curls sup/ One Leg Extensions (set1) 50x10 & 75x10 (set2) 60x10 & 90x10 (set3) 70x10 & 105x10

Seated Calf Raises Sup/ Donkey Calf Raises (set1) 135x10 & stack for 10 (set2) 180x10 & stack for 10 (set3) 225x7 & stack for 10

Well that's my first workout on this log. Hope you follow along and chuck out some advice here and there.

I'm starting a new training program tomorrow. It will look like this:

Back / Biceps
Chest / Abs
Legs
Shoulders / Triceps

It will be a 2 days on, one day off, two days on, and then two days off to fully heal. I will be incorporating fst-7 principles along with rest / pause, and widowakers for tough compound movements. Reps will be kept at a 8-12 range to take a break from the low reps in my other program. SWG will be training with me so hopefully we'll both be logging desireable results from this new program. This program will also be using alot of stretching at the end of workouts to enhance blood flow. Anyways i'll let you know how training went tomorrow.

Back / Abs (switched abs & biceps due to length of workout)

T-Bar Rows (weight not including bar) 45x10 / 90x10 / 135x10 / 185x10

High Hammer Strength Rows 180x10 / 270x10 / 360x7 w/ rest/pause (15 breaths) 360x5 (15 breaths) 360x3 w/ 1 forced rep

Rack Deadlifts (first time doing exercise) 135x10 / 225x10 / 315x10 / 405x10 / 495x8

Cable Pullovers (FST-7) 60x10 / 70x10 / 80x10 / 90x10 / 100x10 / 110x10 / 120x10

Extreme Stretching For Back - for as long as possible

Ball Drag-ins 2x10

Ball Crunches 2x10

Planks for as long as possible

Notes:

- numbers could have been better but i was unsure of what weight to use for higher reps
- enjoyed rack deadlifts, should help improve my regular deadlift
- Rest/Pause set felt absolutely amazing and it allowed me to get more reps with a really heavy weight ( which i think is beneficial )
- Can't wait to try this program with Anadraulic State

maybe i should have changed the title of my log to " No one pay attention to my log, cause it's boring". i've had no replys so i guess i'll just use this as my training book. lol
Seriously someone say something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm a bodybuilder, i just try to gain lean mass. i've always believed that strength and mass go hand in hand cause the heavier i am the stronger i am. this year is the first time i've ever been above 240 and i look leaner than when i was 230. i just flat out love the gym and lifting heavy with good form.

oh yeah, i forgot to mention that i would like to compete in a bodybuilding competition eventually. i haven't yet because i'm a chicken **** and i don't think i'd do well. maybe it's lack of self confidence or a problem with dysmorphia ( i think i'm too small ).

sounds good. i've been training for mass for 3 years, and i'm going to have to switch over to a "recomp" for the next year.

change is good buddy, this workout program i'm doing is huge change for me as i've always used a high volume, 5 day a week program. The extra day of rest is helping, but i get a little restless.

totally. i used to do total body workouts on MWF only. i'd get cabin fever to hit the gym sooner because one body part recovered faster than the rest of me. sometimes less is better - more than half my gains were from total body workouts.

Hey man what and the heck is FST-7? saw it in your log and never heard of it.

it's a training program designed by hany rambod and it stands for Fascia Stretch Training.
The 7 stands for the number of sets you do. It is blood volume training basically. if you want to learn a little more go to FST-7.com. The site can better explain it than i can. All i do know is that it's working very well for me right now.

yep, but it's a brutal type of training due to high volume and alot of stretching and flexing.

that'll take a month to nail down. once you do though, you'll really see some changes.

- Hamstrings are definitely getting stronger in a hurry
-great workout overall

i hit 255 on leg extensions yesterday, and today my g/f made me go hiking. i can't imagine doing 30 pounds more and accomplishing anything. add in your 400 pound squats and i'm sure you had a great workout.

Shoulders / Triceps

Upright Rows 135x10 / 155x8 / 175x6
(I only pull to my nipples so that stimulates my lateral heads more)

Dumbbell Presses 60x10 / 80x10 / 100x8 / 50x15

Dumbbell Rear Laterals 30x10 / 35x10 / 40x8

Icarian Lateral Machine (FST-7) Don't have numbers as there are no numbers on the machine as it is old as hell (did the stack for two sets though)

Cable Pressdowns 145x10 / 195x10 / 245x10 / 115x20

Skullcrushers (FST-7) 110x10 100x10 90x8 80x8 70x8 60x8 50x12

Notes:
- workout was awesome
- Felt weak on dumbbell Presses due to not doing exercise in a few months (stabilizers)
- FST-7 for skullcrushers was brutal. Needed a spot to keep an eye on me due to exhausting and cramping. He wasn`t needed but i felt more confident.
- a little mad that i don`t have numbers for the icarian laterals

when i was deadlifting consistently, my max deadlift was 565 for a double. I backed off on the deadlifting for a while as my waist was starting to thicken and i was losing my taper. I'm trying to get back in the swing of things and i managed a 455x3 the other day. I'll get my numbers back up there again, it's just going to take some time.
