- Today was yet another sick session. I decided to go for the Barbell Presses, and cranked out 185 for ten for three sets.. The reps were continuous and smooth; I had a random dude at the gym give me a lift off [awkward angle] and he was like, damn, you got some strength in ya ! Normally when I did these, I'd be doing one rep, stop on top, catch my breath, then proceed to the next rep. This time, I was repping them out non-stop. As soon as I got to full extension, I went for the second rep; endurance and strength was surprising and impressive!
.. Arnold Presses were new to my routine as well, and I'll continue utilizing them. They had a different feel to them that I couldn't remember from before; maybe because now I did them 100% correct. I was digging the strength and stamina I had on these as well, especially considering the barbell presses prior to them.
.. Bent over laterals were performed with my body @ a 90 degree angle to the floor; with my chest supported on top of a short upright bench. Unable to cheat, I felt these in my rear delts big-time. With the 70s, however, not so much, but I got cocky ! haha
.. 40s for 15 reps for 3 sets on side laterals; yet another impressive feat in my book.
.. Upright rows with 135 for an easy 15; I had people looking on these. A big white dude kneeling on a bench in front of 135 lbs bar .. What the f*ck is he doing? .. Ahhhh, upright rows! I was like a f*cking machine on these, pumping them out. Got cocky once again, went for 185, and it was, I admit, too heavy.. got two reps kneeling, then stood up and performed another 4 reps.. Didn't get the 'feel' I wanted, so I dropped the 25s off, and continued with 135 for another 8 REAL reps !
.. Seated Shrugs with 125s and 150s.. for 25 reps !? What the f*ck !? Got one helluva pump in these .. quite surreal actually.
.. Prior to my workout, I had 2 servings of Controlled Labs Glycergrow [I couldn't wait to try it any longer], and another serving intra-workout. Effects of these ?! -> lots more veins ! LOTS MORE ! When I can see four veins stretching across my chest and front deltoids THROUGH my Under Armor long-sleeve, that's when you know something is going on ! And my arms .. looked NASTY; veins popping through my shirt from top to bottom !
.. F*CK Gold's Gym .. and some of their members. Yes, I live in Texas where it's supposed to be warm. But F*CK, it's December, we had SNOW [for 12 hours] yesterday, and freezing temperatures [literally], and the f*ckos @ Gold's keep it @ 70 degrees.. In a giant warehouse-like facility, with temperatures in the 40s outside, this $hit feels like 55-60 degrees; not something you can attain and maintain a pump in. Arrrghhh, pisses me off like no other. They gave me ONE day of 78 degrees in there two days ago, and it felt GREAT ! Then you got all these b!tches calling in and complaining, it's too warm in there, I'm sweating ! .. ->>>> F*CK YOU, and get a BOWFLEX and stay at home in your own freezing basement; you're at the gym to SWEAT god dammit ! And it's easier to work out will LESS clothes on than it is to work out with two sweaters on, idiots ! ARRRGH, here's to all of you people ->>>> :FUfinger: :FUfinger: :FUfinger:
... SICK WORKOUT, nonetheless, but I didn't look as impressively jacked/pumped post-workout due to these conditions.
I think it would at least throw me off from my performance. But viking is a creature with no fear!! :twisted:
