Headed to the gym, I got excited my car was hit by a few raindrops on the way to the gym. It stopped by the time I got there... Only a 5 minute drive. As my son would say "Sad Face
" I watched some of the bands of rain on the radar and it looks like the scattered storms strategically placed themselves to avoid my house. Thank goodness Lake Livingston got 2 inches of rain, it is where we get most of our water from. We have water mains breaking left and right around here from the drought and the ground shifting as it dries to dust.... I don't even know if the 2 inches will make a dent with all of that happening. Everywhere you turn millions of gallons of water rushing out of broken mains and into the gutter and washed off to the gulf... I hope we get some of the rain at my house at some point today. Anyway I digress, back to the log and on to the workout.
Pull Ups - BWx6, +25x8, +25x6>BWx4 > change to chin up BWx2 > pull downs 150x5 - I was pretty happy with this. I wasn't sure if I could get 8 at +25 on pull ups. I knew i could with chins but pull ups are a different animal. Getting to 6 on the second set was hard, I stalled halfway up on 6th rep but held my ground and muscled through while keeping strict form. As Lean as I have gotten my lats were looking extremely impressive coming down into my much smaller waist.
Cable Crossovers - 80x15, 80x15, 80x15 > 60x6 > 40x10 Man was my chest burning! I did start a bit too heavy for 15 reps as that should have been a warm up set. Next time I will start with 60, and perhaps add a little weight or just get more reps on my drops. More than likely for the purposes and design of the program I will stay at 80 and just get more reps on my drops. Only a pump day for chest.
DB Lateral Raise - 27.5x15, 30x15 > 20x8 > 15x4 - Was very strict with these I am used to going a little higher than shoulders and am trying to keep parallel to the ground now to avoid impingement. Man were my shoulders burning. Pump was really impressive in upper body by this point.
Dips - BW+90x9 > BW+45x10 > BWx11 - I did these out of order on accident. I was supposed to do curls next and allow shoulders to recover a minute before doing something that used shoulders heavily again such as a dip. That being said I think I only lost out on a rep or two in the 1st drop from that. I was only supposed to go to 6-8 reps on initial set instead of 9, so I can definitely go up next time. Not a fan of the bars on this dip platform they press into my palms deep into the bone between my pinky and wrist making it painful to perform with heavy weight. I will have to get some gloves or Neoprene to put over them to continue going heavier.
Oly-Bar Curl - 115x5 > 75x7 > 45x10, I was a little surprised not to make it to 6 with this weight today. However the pull ups / chins had taken a told on them. I will stick here anyway and expect next thursday I will get at least 6. Did I mention that my pump was friggin retarded yet?
Squats - 135x15, 185x15, 235x1, put it up - I had noticed on 185 my hip was feeling it a bit not much at all but I noticed it. The 235 was enough for me to know if I persisted I would be prolonging the recovery. It is the sitting back into the squat that gets me. I moved to
Hack Squats - 1 plate per side x15, 1 plate + 25 per side x15 - Quads had a good pump and legs were feeling worked even though not heavy weight. I did keep things nice and slow on these though.
Lying Leg Curls 125x12 > 95x6 > 50x8 - I had a nice burn going on in my hammies from these. Was a good weight to start off with.
Workout took 45 minutes again. I enjoyed it and it was hard work, although the leg issue is frustrating and something I am going to have to resolve. I will probably do Hack Squats instead on this workout until the hip is feeling better. My pump was just ridiculous everywhere.
Comments - I feel I am leaner now than in my before pics, I will more than likely take some pics at the 2 week point and then again at the end of the run. I imagine I will lose some lb's on this due to increase caloric expenditure and eating the same intake. That is fine I am trying to get to my ideal. If that means I am at 185 and 6% then that is fine by me. I think my joints are happier when I am lighter. I know my heart is, and I just want to be in great shape all around. Vascularity seems to be a tiny bit higher.
Yeah he is a great logger.
Haha, more than one there now. LOL I am definitely feeling the alpha male action. Confidence is supreme as well. The extra Divanil in this over other products is really making itself known. Libido is coming up more and more too.
Hey feel free to interject, talk about yourself whatever in here Morry. I prefer my logs to be a conversation, and it doesn't all have to be about me or the supplement.
Thanks Mich! Ton's of goofiness on my part to be shared so I don't mind doing so.
