Poops is an employed man again! Just had the supervisor of the job that I spoke about applying for earlier in the log give me a call and tell me I passed my drug test and if I can start tomorrow (time to go smoke a fatty, LMAO J/K). This is a great step forward for me and my family since we've been eaking by on my unemployment checks that actually run out this month and will be going now into a job where I'll be making $200-$400 dollars a day 6 days a week guaranteed. :woohoo:
Not to mention the wife just went through an interview process for a store manager of Journeys shoes that will come with a 4g sign on bonus and percentage bonuses of monthly and annual income of the store, AND just got a call back for a second interview for a receptionist postition at a dental/day spa facility.... she should be able to land at least one or the other.
With that being said todays w/o went great today too, was able to hit the gym with my partner again since he only has school mon-thurs and we did another superset for half our legs and then did biceps as well, was a very nice strong workout.
We did a new bicep exercise ive never tried where you use the upper cables on a larger cable set up, same used for chest and flys, and you basically pull them from an outreached position to your head.... have no idea what they are called so Im just gonna say over head cable curls, either way they were really nice and felt like after naileing them with DB's it was a great way to focus on the main group itself and REEEEEAAAALLY pinched at the full contraction. I'll def be doing these from now on as my last Bi exercise to really burn out the main muscle.
heres the numbers for today.
Leg press followed by calve press- 180x10/20, 200x10/15, 220x10/15
Leg Extension- 135x10, 150x10, 165x10

OH cable curls- 20x10, 45x15, 45x15, 65x15, 65x13
Just incase some wonder yes I hit calves twice seperately, I like to just cause I want cut ass calves but mostly we did more this way cause my partner is 6'5" @ 190 and needs to work on his calves. I normally do an extension of the toes (flexing calves) at the end of each press on leg presses and then at the end of the set i slip my feet down slightly so my heels are hanging off and proceed to calve press the same weight, really burns this way, then switch with my partner who does the same thing and do it again next set. But with the leg curls and standing calve raises I start on the leg curl, then I jump right on the standing calve raise rack while my partner does the leg curl after me and then alternate back and forth with him all the while taking no rest in between. this seems to nail the calves this way since the quads are pretty much dead and the hams are getting hit at the same time so the calves seem to be more isolated during these standing calve raises.
This seems to be a pretty good way to hit legs for me, fairly high impact and doesnt hurt my knees or lower back whatsoever... Im going to try to phase in Squats at a very low weight focusing strictly on form this next week cause I like how they effect my glutes, lol, but dont need to reinjure myself so it will be light, mostly just a warm up for the leg presses.
Didnt get the Mass FX MAX today

but its ok I hope its here tomorrow when Im here since its always nice to get the package and start ripping it open right in front of the delivery guy, LOL, but I doubt I'll be here since I start training tomorrow and most likely it will be the wifey who will get to receive the package. Still have to wait for the Xfactor as well but have no guestimate when that may arrive since I dont know when it will ship or where MN is located so that one will just be a nice suprise. :head:
