Ya man you do some crazy volume in your sets which is very time consuming. I hate being there for long periods of time. Back when I was powerlifting it was Squats -> Bench -> Deadlift and it only took us around an hour, if that. Now I'm in there for like 1.5hrs but I feel pretty good when I'm in there. 3 hours though? hooo boy thats a long time! Marathon gym session mang!
Yea bro since day1 I started gym I like to do lot of exercise coz when I started I was 160lbs and look skinny as hell...I thought doing lot of excerise will make me get big fast lol...it did but it took lot of time...then I stop working out for more than a year...and I was drinking alcohol and eating junk...I was 210lbs pure fat lol...then I start cutting back....now I'm 170lbs...with good amount of muscle...
Lol you see my face?? Looks like volleyball lol
Thats what I'm talking about broski! Make use of those LONG legs u got and be a DJFLASHPOLE! Keep it up brosef , you are going AWESOME!
Dammit you did more cardio than me and in 1min less...fack I gotta do it hard tonite then lol...great cardio!!! I bet it felt good lol...those long legs can take big jump lol that's why you able to run more than me...no worries tonite I'll show you!!!
I approached the bar extremely determined, but I was so focused on lifting that weight (I was going to attempt for 5) that when I got it squared away on my shoulders as I pulled it off the hooks I slammed the weight into the side of the rack which threw my balance off for a second and caused me to struggle getting myself realigned and ready to go. I should have just racked it right then, powered up, and gone at it again. Instead I just went for it right then and there and it was hard as hell. My concentration was blown and I could only squeeze out 3 for the first set. I put it back in the rack upset, waited 30 seconds and tried to go for 3 again but my legs were already dead dammit! Next time I'm getting it for 5. I don't care if I have to dump it. I need to stop being afraid of the heavy weight and just PUSH IT. ****. But hey... thats 1 more rep/set than last time so I consider it a PR lol !
Great workout brother!!! Really proud of youJune 13th: LEGS
Weight: 229lbs... fluctuating like frickin' crazy.
SQUATS: 135x10 165x10 185x8 225x3,1 Mainly a success. After doing so well with 185 I figured I'd skip 205 and go straight for the big weight of 225. I was really hyped up and felt really good but then I ****ed up and zapped most of my energy
LEG PRESS: 225x15 315x12 405x8,8,8 PJ I thought about you the whole time I was doing these. Kept telling myself to push it and make some gains so I kept thinking about your workout and knew I had to push further. Really helped me along. No homo.
SEATED CALF RAISE: 135x20,20,20 Scorched my calves!
HAMSTRING CURLS: 130x12,12
GLUTE-HAM RAISE: BW+35x12,12
Cool down was done on the treadmill, 3.2mph pace at 7.5% incline for 12 minutes and burned 140 calories. Just long enough to filter out the blood
So today was a great success and makes me feel a lot better about myself. Every since exercise had a PR either based on weight, reps, or both, and that makes me feel really good especially considering it was just the accessory lifts that I was breaking records on. Next time I'd like to get 225x5 for squat, and 405x10,10,10 for leg press. I know I can make this happen! Tomorrow is my favorite day: shoulders. Gonna tear it UP after I sleep like a baby tonight
Stay tuned,
DJ
...I liked how you went for weights again even tho you lost your concentration and focus...nvr be afraid of weights bro...they are your toy and you control them...don't worry if you fall...you fall you get back up and show those weights again that who's the really boss!!! I kno for sure if you keep going like within a month you will be squatting 315x5...way to go bro!!! :thumbsup:
Thx for the words of encouragement brother! Very motivating! Wish I was back in the gym already!Great workout brother!!! Really proud of you
You kno I'm here for you bro and I'm gonna keep pushing you till you reach ur goals
Just woke up. Shoulders today. Gonna make breakfast, let it digest for 2hrs, pop the preworkout and PUSH PUSH PUSH! def my favorite day in da gym!You kno I'm here for you bro and I'm gonna keep pushing you till you reach ur goals

PJ man you gotta stop giving me rep lol. I can't seem to spread it fast enough to rep you back and I'm feeling bad about it LOL. So if anyone has repped me and you are like "**** you DJ you ain't repping back (besides once)" just wait awhile haha.
MOTIVATIONAL MUSIC SEGMENT: I usually listen to something to jack me up on the ride to the gym and this time it was Nightcall by Kavinsky and LoveFoxxx. Yep, I have a weird taste in music. It's from the movie DRIVE and if anyone hasn't seen it yet it'll certainly make you feel like a badass.

Weight: 227lbs
Height: lol this hasn't changed
BB STANDING PRESS: 45x15 100x12,8,6 70x8dropset 45x12dropset My god damn shoulders were about to BUST right out of my shirt. I had all KINDS of erections running through them. Felt soooo good. I was sad I couldn't get 8 for the last rep but if I can do at least 6 I'm golden. I try to stay in the 6-12 range. When I hit 12 for each set its time to bump up the weight. Next time I'm goaling for 100x10,10,10.
SEATED DB PRESS: 50x12,10,8 25x12dropset no goal here was just trying to extend the hypertrophy from the standing press. **** was on fire after this.
SHRUGS: 135BBx12 225BBx12 95DBx12,12,12 135BBx15burnout YOWZA!
STRAIGHT ARM RAISE: 30x12,12 rep record here. I was actually proud of myself with this one. There was a HUGE JACKED dude in the squat rack doing shrugs with 405 and then he walked over and did the same weight and less reps as me. Felt pretty good! People don't give enough credit to the tall ones for being strong
LATERAL ARM RAISE: 25x12,12 goal for reps. I immediately went to the pulley to burnout after this...
PULLEY DELT RAISE: BURNOUT 30x7 20x7 so much pain!
UPRIGHT ROWS: 75x12,12,8
And PJ, I have no idea how in the HELL you do cardio, especially HIIT cardio, after your workout. I tried to do it today and my body was like LOL SORRY BRAH NEED MORE GLYCOGEN! The fueltank was empty. I tried to do my usual 6mph warmup for 5 minutes and even cut that short. I ended up doing 3.0mph walk at 7.5% incline for 12 minutes and burned 140calories... which according to Mr. Layne Norton is precisely the amount I need to burn for a cut. So I felt OK about that. I'm going to have to save HIIT for the off days... or at least until I
!
Dude knowyourmeme.com is where I spend most of my time when I'm at work... and when I'm not making JPEGs of PJ curling the moon lolJesus holly christ! Nice numbers on the OH Press AntMan , seriously I can barely do 105x1 and I'm dying!!! You are another beast just like punja on the shoulders!! Keep it up broski! and keep coming forth those memes! You sir , make me laugh
Certainly, my good man.

Say the word PJ and we shall smack this fellow Avenger with a neg train for geting c0cky ;p!PJ wtf. Negged.
Now , I love 9gag , always have always will, before people knew of it much. And before that I used to be at 4chan a lot...but meh...it turned boring and obnoxious and m00t started his shenanigans haha.
LOL about time you got it rightThis is the 3rd time I'm writing DJ...just for you
No need to rep me back brother...it just so many pplz repping me so I have to spread reps to give them back lol....and GREAT WORKOUT BRO!!!! 95lbs db shrugs is no joke...I try to do those and they just slip rite thur my hands lol...and bro no need to do HIIT cardio everyday...I heard doing 3X a week do wonder for fat loss...I do everyday coz I'm desperate and wanna reach my goals as fast as I can...and for that I will do watever I can...keep killing bro!!! :thumbsup:
and right on man! I just dunno where you get all that energy from! I'm even on EC and I'm wiped after each lifting session to even attempt HIIT! So more power to ya! I have a feeling that if I keep doing DB shrugs I'll tap the gym out. They have DBs that go all the way up to 125 so we'll see. I feel like I get better form from the DBs. And no wang interference lol Thanks for the kind words brother... and I'll rep when I can! I can't keep up with it! lol
!I haven't been used to drinking my protein during a workout. I typically throw a Gatorade and my Formula-X in a shaker bottle and sip on that... time to change things up!
Perhaps tomorrow. I'm meeting my friend to do back and I plan on plowing through 400lbs for deadlift. Perhaps I'll film it
I heard deadlifts and filming it, I'm IN! for some footage of you deadlifting bro, my favorite lift, and I have never seen someone as huge as you deadliftJune 15th: HIIT
WOOOOOOOOOOOO! 3.07miles in 30 minutes and burned 547 calories! Lungs were on fire! Felt great! I know I said I was going to drop some pictures today but the female counterpart is out of the house at work and my buddies are asking me to come out so it'll have to wait. Besides I want to take them on a lifting day after working out so I'm nice n' swole for the photos

Weight: 224lbs
Woke up this morning only having gotten 5 hours of sleep and was prepared for epicness. Got up, took my preworkout which consisted of the following:
- Maximize Intense x1.5 scoops
- Hemavol x2 scoops
- Citrulline Malate x1 scoop
- Formula-X x2 scoops (old scooper)
- Beta Alanine x2 pills
- EC x1 (25mg/200mg)
Hopped in the car and picked up my friend and met my other weightlifting partner out in the gym. Today was a GREAT day.
DEADLIFT 135x10 225x8 315x5 360x3 40...
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPxzTroNBps">YouTube Link</a>
405x1 Nailed that damn PR! Thats 20lbs more than last time! A huge leap for me! I had a little hitch when I got about midway up but I still locked that sucker out. COUNT IT! Watching the video it actually looks like it was pretty easy. I'm thinking I could do at least 5-10lbs more on my next attempt. We shall see. All I used that was extra was some chalk on my hands/bar (that bitch wasn't going anywhere) and a belt strapped down tight. Felt AMAZING! That's a long way up to pull that weight! WOOHOO!!! Back was toast after this so I didn't do the full round of exercises/volume I'm used to and that was fine with me because I still walked out of there with one helluva smile on my face
SEATED ROW NARROW 135x12 150x12 165x8,5 120x8 105x12

Fantastic epic day of epicness. Very proud of myself. Had me a good post workout meal from Qdoba. Naked chicken burrito, extra chicken, extra beans, no rice, 2 ladles of habanero salsa, 1 ladle pico de gallo, lettuce, and a big ol' plop of guacamole. Covered that bitch in some Cholula hotsauce and washed it all down with my creatine and Recon. TASTY.
I can't wait to see whats in store!!!
Stay tuned,

Yes we have strong members in the Avenger Brotherhood of Loggers United. Hm...now I wanna get taped for a workout too ;D!!! muahaha
Lol I'm drinking some bourbon right now w my weightlifting partner and he said the same thing. Said my form was more like a Romanian deadlift which it was impressive. He showed me how to change the form up and get my ass down so its more motion w the hips. Will be trying it next time. Can't wait. And thank you sir
Thx Capt! Much appreciated!
F*ck reps I want some bourbon!! And to see you hit 425, which I'm sure you can if you do what your partner and I want you to do, if you put your a*s into this (literally) you will get even more torque with those huge legs of yours
!!
