I just started doing db pullovers, its definitely a nice piece to add to a routine as it hits a bunch of muscle groups
Legs - 5/3/08Thanks Trauma.
4/16/08 - legs.
Soreness REALLY kicked in.
Warm up exercises then into hamstring curls. +10 lbs on first 2 sets. Really burning so back to normal 3rd set.
leg presses - same (have to be really careful due to my knee). Good feeling in my quads - they don't feel like they are really getting worked all that often.
stiff legged deads - + 10 lbs. Lower back had a nice pump - not Superdrol bad or anything.
Lunges were + 10 lbs. Barely made it through those. Glutes and inner quads were really sore (in addition to hams).
leg extensions - able to add another set at +10 lbs. Left knee started to bother me - had to limit ROM at the bottom of the rep.
Calf raises - +15 lbs. Really good pump there.
All in all - pretty good workout. Was starting to work up a sweat early - normally happens with leg presses (2nd or 3rd set).
Really glad I got a good quad pump. Maybe I can finally add some size to them.
Hit my 200 to 250 grams of protein - initial look was 225. Will total my intake later this week.
Libido is definitely increasing. No stomach issues with Drive at 8 caps/day. (But - I've taken some Forselean supps already this year - but not all the way through.)
Drive looks to be up way before RPM or X-factor. Less than 30 days. RPM should last for a while at 3 to 4 caps.
Bed now.
5/4/08 - triceps/cardio/absWorkout results.
4/20/08 - bi's/tri's/delt's/traps
triceps:
overhead dumbbell extensions (2 hand) - apparently been 2 months since I've done these, no clue why but same as back then
skullcrushers - +10 lbs all 3 sets. Last set was really tough.
Chest - 5/6/08Chest workout tonight.
Impressions - ancillary body parts got really sore tonight (esp. rear delts - which is really strange for a chest workout for me). RPM gave me some good energy the whole workout, and cardio afterwards. Libido is starting to migrate upwards.
Incline was + 10 lbs first 2 sets and +5 3rd set (I.E. had to drop 5 lbs off for the 3rd set)
Decline was +10 lbs for first 2 sets, unchanged 3rd set. Had to take 10 lbs off to maintain good form. Rear delts started to interfere during 2nd set.
Flyes were +5 lbs on all 3 sets. (Last workout looked like I petered out after the first set - otherwise I'd be saying +5 lbs on the first set only relative to my normal weights as of late.)
Cable fly's were +5 lbs.
Did 40 mins of cardio - then the gym guy kicked me out.
Good workout. Beginning to see the Drive strength increases I saw last time. Should be funner at 8 caps and with RPM/XF also thrown in.
Yes - today was the last day. 2 bottles goes way too quick. AN needs a mega bottle.The Drive is gone? :sad:
its funny, people look at igf-2 and say "its $50 for 26 days, powerful is $35 for 30 days, why is it so expensive" and the answer is that whats in it costs more...Totally agree, a bigger size would be sweet (only issue is if it'll sell to make it justifiable). I had a convo with Dirk a while back about cutting corners on the RPM formula so it didn't take so many caps to get the same result. He told me AN doesn't cut corners
I have fully functioning hardware. I'm no dummy. We don't go to pool parties to play Marco Polo with a bunch of other dudes.Ohhhh - good idea. I'll drop you a line I get back from the gym - let's come up with a game plan.
Yes - ladies will be there. Female interns, no less.
(Mmmm fresh meat. :lol
Legs 5/10/08Legs - 5/3/08
Seated ham curls - +10 on first set, normal on 2nd, 3rd
Leg presses - +20 lbs all 3 sets
Was then REALLY winded
Lunges - +10 first 2 sets, normal 3rd set
Talk about tired - now I'm really tired. Sore as sh*t everywhere.
Stiff legged DL's - +5 lbs first 2 sets, normal 3rd set (back really tight)
leg extensions - normal, only did 2 sets due to extreme pumps/soreness in quads
donkey calf raises - normal all 3 sets
Decided to use the girly inner theigh machine - these seem to be limiting my lunges (tiring first). I think I need to get to working the inner quad muscle now.
Worn the hell out right now.
Feel good though - legs sore all over.
Biceps/delts/abs 5/11/08Workout results.
4/20/08 - bi's/tri's/delt's/traps
Moved this back from Friday to Sunday to work chest and back first.
Biceps:
dumbbell curls - + 5 lbs all 3 sets
preacher curls - + 10 lbs all 3 sets (could have gone higher - but I have to be careful with preachers as I've hurt my elbow in the past)
concentration curls - same, bicep pumps huge by this time
delts:
side delt dumbbell raises - same, big pumps
upright barbell rows - same (have to be careful - can hurt my shoulder getting overzelous with these)
traps:
behind neck barbell shrugs - + 5 lbs
shrug machine (Hammer strength) - +10 lbs
Back & traps 5/13/08Back 4/30/08
Haven't done this back routine before on this stack. So - comparing to before the stack started.
Reverse grip lat pulldowns - same 1st set, +10 2nd set, same 3rd set. Limited by forearms on 3rd set or could have been +10
Lat pulldowns - same on 1st and 2nd sets, + 10 on 3rd set. Able to hold same weight as 2nd set.
Hammer strength rows - +10 lbs on 1st set, +5 lbs on 2nd set, same on 3rd set. Back limiting here on keeping weight up for desired reps.
Decided to do dumbbell pull-overs. Haven't done those in a long time. Figured I could use the stretch. Used a 35 lb DB just to start (wasn't sure what to start with honestly).
VERY good stretch in lats - upper back got a good workout. Really sore after this.
30 mins on elliptical as I watched the end of Wizards-Cavs. Good game.
Dude - the stretching, in particular, worked out really well.Glad to see you're still alive and kicking.
