Decided to start a workout log to keep track of my workouts. I think it will benefit me a lot to keep track of weights/reps/workout feelings/reactions to exercises and monthly weight gain. I will be logging my daily diet, workouts, and supplements being ingested starting...TODAY!


SUPPLEMENTS TAKEN: USP Labs Super Cissus Rx - 4 grams (5 caps)
Optimum Nutrition Tribulus - 3 grams (4 caps)
Gaspari Superpump 250 - 1 fat ass scoop (so 1 1/2ish)
I Force Reservitol V2 - 3 caps
Osteo Bi-Flex - 3 pills
SKELETAL BALM applied to elbows, shins, shoulders, wrists

Workout of the day: Cardio/Abs -Warmed up using my pvc pipe. Rolled out hips, glutes, hammies, quads.
-Ran 5 minutes at 7.0 mph/15 degree incline.
-5 sets of 20 situps for speed with 45 second breaks.
-1 set of flutter kicks for 2 minutes.
-1 set of 20 leg raises.
-1 set of 25 double crunches.
-Then finished with a 6:22 mile.

Workout Notes:
Running at that incline pretty much made me die. It took me about 5 minutes to catch my breathe. Abs were pretty easy. Hate doing them but am trying to get a 300 pt score finally. Overall a good workout. Tomorrow and Tuesday will be weightless bs workouts as much as I hate not lifting, I am taking a pt test on Wednesday so we shall see!

Nutrition for the day:
- I don't really keep track of calories. I just try to eat as much as possible generally, and keep it about 3k cals a day high protein.
- BREAKFAST:
-2 eggs scrambled
-Sausage patty
-Potatoes fried with vegetable oil
-12 oz. OJ
-Blueberry Turnover

-LUNCH
-Haven't eaten yet! Gonna go get some Churche's Chicken:dance:

-DINNER
-Will be before I go to bed (at 5pm) I work 1am-9am. It will be a 1500 calories shaking supplying 95ish grams of protein.

OFF TO CHURCHES! Have a good day all.

-Osteo Bi-Flex - 3 pills
-Reservitol V2 - 3 caps

WORKOUT NOTES:
Endurance is way up during my workouts when taking plasma jet. At the end of my workouts I have fantastic pumps, however I feel like I can keep going for so much longer after I'm done with my sets. Wanted to see how high I could get on front squats today. The 315 rep I would say was ****ty. Form was still good, but it hurt my wrists a little bit which makes me not want to go that heavy. For running the last 3 days I was surprised my legs weren't considerably weaker. Overall a good day and good workout. Chest tomorrow!

Yesterday (tuesday) was my chest day. Pretty good day overall, except for every once in a great while I'll decide to do a few sets of cable flyes...then I realize about 5 hours later that my rotator cuffs and shoulder joint just is not made to do them. I rolled my teres minor/major, delts, pecs, lats, and serratus', felt fine after..just need to remember why I DON'T do flyes..they are worthless..however I will admit nothing gets my chest pumped like they do. The risk vs. reward factor for me isn't good though so I don't forsee myself doing them anytime in the near future.

SUPPLEMENTS TAKEN:
-Cissus 5600 mgs
-Tribulus 6 grams
-1 serving Plasma Jet
-1/2 serving Hemavol (got it in the mail, couldn't resist trying even though I'm on PJ)
-2 scoops Superpump
-5 scoops Muscle Milk (2 scoop shake, then 3 scoop shake before bed)
-1000 calorie weight gainer shake
-2 Gaspari Spirodex (I take these at night, not around my workouts but so I am not a zombie being up 1am-9am)
-Osteo Bi-Flex

WORKOUT OF THE DAY: CHEST
-WARM UP - I always do an extensive warm up and prehab before chest and shoulder workouts. Yesterdays consisted:
3x15 Pull Aparts with the heavy resistance band
2x15 Standing 90 degree external rotations
2x15 Externals rotations laying on side
2x50 Arm circles in both directions
2x10 Wall Slides

Decline Bench:
45x10
95x10
135x10
185x10
245x10 (up 10lbs from last week!!!)

Incline Dumbells:
35x10
50x10
65x10
80x10

Cable Flyes:
20x15
30x15
40x15
60x8
-Wish I could do these without knowing my shoulder will feel terrible after...skeletal balm and myofascial release negates any damage I could have done however.

1x15 YTWL's with 5 lb db's

Face Pulls:
50x15
70x15
90x15
100x15

WORKOUT NOTES:
Had a fantastic pump after doing the flyes. While doing the flyes though I could feel my right rotator cuff was not liking even the low weight I was using. I realize there's some things people's bodies just aren't meant to do, but it is irritating to me that I can military press 80-100 lb db's for reps, and barbell military 185 for reps and it doesn't bother my shoulder like flyes do..wtf?!?! Anyways, good workout. I have been getting stronger on all my core lifts, every workout. Endurance is significantly higher, at the end of my workouts I feel like I still have tons of gas in the tank. Recovery time also seems to be very improved right now, however I am taking a ****load of supplements so I'm sure that helps :).

The woman has been in town since Friday so workouts have been slightly rushed due to lots of sex and sleeping lol. Still going in and going strong though!! Drinking my preworkout right now, wanted to post my workout from yesterday. Started back on 5/3/1 programs yesterday, went very well for first day back. Did a set of 1 at the end of my squats to see roughly where I was.

SUPPLEMENTS TAKEN:
-Superpump - 2 scoops
-PlasmaJet - 1 serving
-Hemavol - 1 serving
-Cissus -honestly..I just take a f*cking handful lol
-Osteo Bi-Flex - 3 pills
-Muscle Milk - 5 scoops throughout day
-Resrervitol V2 - 3 caps
-Skeletal Balm pre/post/prebed

WORKOUT OF THE DAY: LEGS
-Squats: Slightly above parallel box squats.
-45x10 wu
-135x5 wu
-185x5 wu
-225x5 wu
-275x5 1st work set
-315x5 2nd work set
-325x5 3rd work set
-365x1 feeler set..VERY easy.
-225x20 - Finisher set - Leg pump was ridiculous...

-Leg Curl:
-90x5x5x5

Bodyweight Squats:
5x25 with varying foot positions.

WORKOUT NOTES:
-Overall a very good workout. Easily feel I could have done 405 for my box squat, but I didn't want to push it with no one there to spot me. Leg pump was ridiculous..veins in quads coming out very nicely, Vastus Lateralis sweeping out more I've noticed, along with my Rectus Femorus is now visible as a separate quadricep muscle. Haven't been weighing myself..don't really plan on it other than once a month or so, more going for strength/how I am looking. With my girl here my diet has been ****TY..pretty much lots of protein shakes, fast food once a day, and one meal at the chow hall, but once we go home on the 20th that will change...Putting in my monthly supplement order tomorrow, will post before to see if anyone has any idea's for additions/retractions. Off to hit chest! Will update later tonight or tomorrrow.

Ah been super busy getting ready to go home! At the airport waiting now so I figured it would be a good time to update.

WORKOUT NOTES:
Although my workouts have been short, with the exception of deadlift day everything has been going very well. I am eager to be home training at my gym for 2 weeks!!! Today is supposed to be squat day but alas I am at the airport allll day. To compensate I did 100 bodyweight squats before showering this morning, I will be doing Bench tomorrow as usual. Weight is actually going up, back up to 210 from 203 so that's nice. Recovery is still very good, not wxactly sure what to contribute that too..definitely not lots of sleep..maybe a combination of all the supplements I am taking, SMR using my pvc pipe, and skeletal balm...

Yesteray I did Rack Pulls/Back. Was a pretty good workout, it's very nice to be back at my regular gym. People always look at me like I'm crazy when I do SMR, or any of the other warm up shenanigans I do..but then again I look at them crazy when they do a lot of the ridiculous stuff people do on a regular basis at a gym. As my gym will be closed, and I will be gone until monday I did Rack Pulls/Back yesterday, and Squats tonight. I will miss mondays workout so next week it will be Tuesday - Bench, Thursday - Dead Variation/Back, and Friday - Military Press. I have managed to bloat myself back to 214 already..which I am very happy about lol. Been putting down quite a few calories, and last night I received my supplement package including pretty much the whole LG line which I will be logging as of tonight.

Finally back to my normal lifting schedule! Traveled about 5 hours away to the other side of Washington from Friday until yesterday. Got back last night and did my squats!

WORKOUT OF THE DAY: SQUATS
-Squats:
-45x10
-135x5
-225x3
-275x1
-315x1
-365x1 1st work set
-425x1 2nd work set
-440x1 3rd work set (most I've done in a while!)

Then I rolled out on a foam roller and did 100 bodyweight squats, and 20 bodyweight lunges.

SUPPLEMENTS TAKEN:
-ASGT 2 Scoops
-Anadraulic Pump 4 scoops
-BC+EAA's 5 scoops
-POSTAL 2 scoops
-60 gram protein shake

WORKOUT NOTES:
Great workout! Strength has been consistently going up. My wrists bother me a little bit when I squat, but with the addition of wrist wraps it's not a big deal or problem. My squats are to a box, slightly above parallel but either way I'm happy with the weights I am hitting. Still not weighing myself, but I can tell my legs have gotten bigger due to some of my pants fitting tightly.

Went in with the lady and did bench tonight! Besides having an overall shortage of calories today, protein intake was still high. My diet is so hit and miss. Some days I eat 2000 calories, some days 4000, but the one thing I always watch is 2 hours before-2 hours after.

WORKOUT OF THE DAY
Bench -
-45x10
-95x5
-135x3
-185x3
-225x1
-260x1 - 1st work set
-265x1 - 2nd work set
-275x1 - 3rd work set
(all work sets were taken to a 1 board)

Face Pulls -
-40x15
-60x15
-75x10
-90x10

YTWL's -
-5 lb db's for 2x10

SUPPLEMENTS TAKEN -
-ASGT - 2 scoops 1 hr prior to gym
-Anadraulic Pump - 5 scoops 20 minutes prior
-BC+EAA - 5 scoops during
-Postal - 2 scoops after
-60 gram protein shake 4 hrs prior, 1 hr prior, and 2 hrs post
-Cissus - 10 grams
-Osteo Bi-Flex 4 pills
-Skeletal Balm (as always fukking love this stuff)

WORKOUT NOTES -
A lot of times when I go to the gym with my girl she can be a De-motivator lol. Not today though! She wanted to take some pre-workout powders so I gave her 1 scoop of ASGT, and 3 scoops of Anadraulic Pump. She is surprisingly strong, she has lifted with me on and off for about a year now. She put up 115x3 solid reps tonight which I was impressed with. My bench felt strong tonight..I think I could have hit 285 no problem. Not really sure what my max is but I thought it to be around 280. I may have underestimated it however, but that is ok according to the 90% of your 1rm wendler advocates for training. Right shoulder was feeling a little tempermental for a few of my warm up sets, but after doing some SMR, and applying skeletal balm all was good. Really need to work on having a more consisten diet but alas I am gaining just fine. Tomorrow is an off day, Deadlifts on thursday!

Thanks NotAnymore! Yes cissus is amazing! I highly endorse skeletal balm as well for aches. I literally put it on my knee's, elbows, wrists, shoulders, and occasionally shins and the bottoms of my feet. Lol wasn't sure if anyone actually read my log but am glad someone does! Wanted to add a quick note - I plan on starting to compete in powerlifting again. I used to compete in NASA meets around the midwest before I joined the army, however I have not competed since April of 09'. My weight went from 230+ to 185 through basic/first AIT. Lost A LOT of strength/size. Since then I have just been working to gain weight and strength back. I have always competed raw, and I plan on competing once I am squatting 500, deadlifting 500, and benching at a minimum 300. Soo this is kind of my training to start competing again log! I'm off to eat a wheel of cheese and drink a protein shake, will update Thursday night after deadlifting session.

Well I've decided to make this week an active recovery week after hitting some pretty good personal numbers last week. I am back to my 1am-9am schedule and thought this week would be a good chance for some much needed recovery/recuperation. Doing a MWF active recovery workout with some random shananigans.

Yesterday's active recovery chest/shoulder/tri workout went pretty well. I decided to do 2 sets of 10 bw dips, and that seemed to bother my right shoulder a little bit, but besides that everything felt good. It amazes me that even with all the rotator cuff prehab, myofascial release, and proper warm up techniques that 2..fkcing 2 sets of bw dips can bother my shoulder. Even if it's just a little bit, it just irritates me, lesson learned lol not even gonna occasionally do dips anymore. Sticking with what doesn't bother my shoulder - flat bench, board press, military press (full rom), and of course lots of rear delt work.

WORKOUT OF THE DAY (well yesterday) - Shoulders
Military Press -
45x10
65x10
95x10
135x10 (this was very easy, even though I shouldn't have even gone this heavy during my recovery week)

YTWL's -
1 set of 5x5

Face Pulls -
60x10x10x10

Push Ups -
x25,x20,x10,x10,x20

Rear Delt Flyes -
20x10x10

Then did some ab shananigans

SUPPLEMENTS TAKEN-
-ASGT 2 scoops 1 hr prior
-Anadraulic Pump 5 scoops 15 minutes prior
-BC+EAA's 5 scoops intra
-Postal 2 scoops post
-200 grams of protein(somehow missed eating 1 fcking solid meal yesterday, thank you army chow halls)

WORKOUT NOTES -
Was overall a good workout, minus the fact it was supposed to be a recovery workout, and I ended up irritating my rc a little. It almost actually feels like it's my pec minor, not rc but either way those 2 sets of dips can suck my balls. I managed to get 2600 cals yesterday not eating any solid meal unfortunately. Did a bunch of pvc pipe rolling earlier, feel a lot better. Along with skeletal balm + 15 grams of cissus. Gonna go get a real foam roller one of those black ones today, and I found one at sports authority that has nodges and bumps in it!!!! Freaking sweet. Anyways, will be back to 5/3/1 next week. Will be doing 2 board bench for the next 6 or so weeks instead of full rom.

Just got done doing a 30 minute foam rolling session. The new foam roller I got is AWESOME. It has an attachment which wraps around it with raised nodges in it..kind of like someone sticking their knuckle or thumb into your trigger points. Anyways, after doing those dips the other day my right pec minor was reealll tight. I have probably done about 3 hours of foam rolling over the weekend, and I feel great not gonna lie. Before I think I was doing just the bare minimum of SMR, which wasn't enough. My new plan is to go to the gym, drink my preworkout, roll out for 45 minutes, and then begin my workout. My entire shoulder girdle seriously feels better than it has for a while. I busted up so many knots I never knew were there. Weird thing was I did a back workout on thursday..nothing heavy by ANY means. Lat's weren't sore. Rolled out on my lats and they were so freaking tender so I concentrated on them for about an hour last night, I must have been neglecting to do my lats near as much as I needed to seriously there was soo much tightness, and trigger points. I managed to work most of them out and I am pretty sure I have the best ROM I have ever had right now. MYOFASCIAL RELEASE IS AMAZING. Anyone who lifts hard IMO should avidly use one of these.

Also, I have my final pt test on Wednesday of this week so it's gonna be another off week. I have to take a pt test to graduate this army school so ya. While it only consists of pushups, sit ups, and a 2 mile run it is amazingly taxing on my body to do really good on them. I am going for 80 push ups in 2 minutes, 75 sit ups 2 minutes, and a 1330 run which I think is around a 285/300 pt score. Anyways, I will be doing squats on monday, followed by a few sets of push ups and sit ups (probably do a few sets of face pulls too real light), then tuesday off just stretching and foam rolling, wednesday pt test, thursday off, then friday hit my 5 scheme for military press. Since I won't be deading or benching this next week I am going to use my same numbers from my 3 scheme for them that I did before. Anyone have any thoughts, opinions or suggestions on next weeks training?

Workout was great! My squat is going up and up and up which makes me very happy. Not sure why besides I'm challenging moving up in weights more in the weight more, and maybe also due to my recent weight gain. Lower back is a little tight but I will be foam rolling/stretching plenty tomorrow in preparation for wednesdays pt test.

Workout Notes -
I think I am finally getting to the point where I know what I need to do to train the way I want to train without risk of injury, etc. I am devoting the next week to foam rolling, a proper deload, and activation exercises. I have been foam rolling a lot, as well as applying lots of a transdermal glucosamine/msm I have gotten for very cheap in bulk along with skeletal balm. My joints feel freaking great, so I am gonna take the next week to really combat the last 10 or so years of damage to my body I have done lol. Will update when I start back up should be a week from monday or so, but I will probably log what I do for deload workouts next week.
