Beelze training log

**Beelzebub** · 02-17-2006, 06:13 PM

Maybe start something new here, a training log for others to track progress if they give a ****. Might even learn a thing or two. I encourage others to start doing the same, perhaps help get the focus off anabolics and focus more of something onto the training aspect of it all. Unfortunately for me, I pulled my pec recently so I'm still in recuperation mode for that but ya'll will know when I'm back to normal. The weights will reflect

I pretty much stick to DC training, but I rearranged some of the bodyparts to prioritize my weaker areas. For example: I believe DC's exact training on day 2 is something along the lines of bi's/forearms/calves/hams/quads. Yeah, I didn't like that so I switched it to quads/hams/forearms/bi's/calves.

2/17
chest/shoulders/tri's/back

incline dumbbell (rehab)
25's x 50
30's x 50
40's x 50
flat bench
bar x 50
60 second stretch

BTN military press supersetted with lateral raises
(3) 135 x 20 with 30's x 20 (still nervous on going all out on shoulders because of the pec, normal would have been 275 x 6-8ish, no superset)
stretch

one arm cable pressdowns (palm up)
30's x 20
40's x 20
50's x 20
60 second stretch

WIDE grip pulldowns
150 x 10
220 x 3
300 x 9 (fail on 10)

rack deads (top of knee)
225 x 6
405 x 3
(2) 585 x 10
60 second stretch

There's a bug going around here lately and I may take next week off, haven't decided yet. Feel slightly worn out from the past 4 weeks of thrashing myself.

**Beelzebub** · 02-17-2006, 06:17 PM

Yesterday's workout (for reference only)

quads/hams/forearms/bi's/calves

squats (parallel)
(2) 135 x 10
225 x 3
315 x 3
belt
405 x 1
belt/wraps
495 x 6
90 second stretch

SLDL
135 x 10
225 x 3
315 x 3
425 x 7
60 second stretch

dumbbell wrist curls
(2) 40's x 20

standing alternated curls
35's x 10
50's x 3
60's x 3
75's x 8
60 second stretch

standing calves
DC routine 2 sets
for those that don't know, this is the most painful thing in the program. pick a weight, squeeze at the top of each, 5 second negative, 10-15 second stretch at the bottom of each rep. after #7, you're hurting.
60 second stretch

The stretching..is it DC' stretches? Or something else? Good log looking foreword to watching it.

dunimous · 02-17-2006, 08:18 PM

Hey beelzebub do you mind posting the link to DC's extreme stretching thread if you still have it. Or pm with it. Thanks!

**Cosmo Kramer** · 02-17-2006, 08:54 PM

Just do a search for PNF stretching (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation). It shows more promise.

But it hurts more.

**Beelzebub** · 02-17-2006, 09:32 PM

LC, yup, DC stretches. Bobo used some big words, that might be it

dunimous · 02-17-2006, 09:33 PM

thanks guys.

**Beelzebub** · 02-17-2006, 09:34 PM

sent ya a pm.

**Cosmo Kramer** · 02-17-2006, 09:37 PM

Nah...thats just basic static stretching although I didn't know people renamed it

PNF strethcing is more effective but you do need a partner to get the most out of it. Males tend to have better results with contract-relax/agonist method and its much better for rehabilitation too....

**Beelzebub** · 02-17-2006, 09:38 PM

rehab????

i'm game.

Much of these techniques have been used for gymnasts for over 20 years (Soviets).

But you won't hear that in a powerlifting form

**Beelzebub** · 02-17-2006, 09:46 PM

Good description. This has the best chance IMO to effect strength as well.

rhunt000 · 02-18-2006, 10:00 AM

Damn Beelze, that side shot you used to have in your avatar did not do you justice. You are freakin' huge.

**Beelzebub** · 02-18-2006, 10:02 AM

that was 248, this one is ~270

thanks

Alexander · 02-18-2006, 10:45 AM

Yeah, in that front-side shot you looked chubby. In your new pic you look like a friggin tank. It looks like you not only put on 22 pounds, but a quality 22 pounds. Thanks for the log, I'll be following. Doing anything special supplement wise?

**Beelzebub** · 02-18-2006, 12:37 PM

know for a fact that i ain't leaner now, lol. as for supps, nothing special.

It's ok Beelze, you can tell about your "secret weapon". Drew certainly knows what I'm talking about.

**Beelzebub** · 02-18-2006, 09:57 PM

wouldn't be secret then, would it?

Got a point. So you gonna take the week off or what? I always say, If I have to ask myself that question, it's time to take a break.

**Beelzebub** · 02-19-2006, 08:59 AM

can't tell. the "sickness" must have been just nausea from doing two sets of rack deads, cuz i felt fine on saturday and even better today. left glute feels sore, but i'm not doing squats this week anyway so screw it. as of now, i'll be back in tomorrow for another quad/hammie/forearm/bi/calf workout. chest feels a lot better, i can almost flex it full force now, which is a good sign IMO.

**Beelzebub** · 02-19-2006, 09:00 AM

oh, and i train m/t/t/f. i took the program up a notch cuz m/w/f wasn't cutting it.

LakeMountD · 02-19-2006, 11:20 AM

geez ONLY 585 on rack deads? *****

..

haha just kidding man, great progress, keep that stuff comin!!! good luck on the rehab

Beelz's secret has always been his array of magic supplements, potions, balms, tonics, and elixirs. Allows him to slack of on his training and diet...

**Beelzebub** · 02-19-2006, 01:44 PM

it's true, i just take cold showers to 'shock' the body into growth. then i tell each bodypart riddles to trick them into more growth. gotta trick your body to grow

tell it knock-knock jokes and such.......

CROWLER · 02-19-2006, 02:03 PM

I didn't know you had switched to jokes before you were doing magic tricks for your muscles.

Infact you said you showed Kwickdewme the old hide the salami trick.
