DMA's Never Satisfied Training Log

Very disciplined diet this weekend. Proud of myself. Even going to a friend's for the fight and food on Saturday, then a little bbq at my house last night I stayed within my daily goals. Woke up this morning so ready for the gym, yet slept kinda crappy the last 3 nights. Will probably drop a little melatonin tonight to get a little deeper.

Got a good solid 7.5 hours of sleep last night. Previous 3 had been more like 5 and felt a bit drained. Went to bed at 7:45 LOL. Was also feeling a bit bloated last night, and woke up this morning a full 2lbs. heavier. In terms of actual water weight, a gallon weighs 8lbs. So 2lbs. is essentially a quart!!! Will watch sodium and carbs and probably flush in the next day or so.

nice bro
 
That's a lot of rowing!
Any reason that the T Bar rows were unsupported?
 
Rows for days!
 
Nice work bro! Inspiring. T bar rows are one of my favorites. Ever try gripping through the holes on a plate or using a v handle? Really changes how it hits your back.

I actually use the v-handle. Don't like gripping the bar like in that pic. The camber bar works nice too.
 
rascal14 said:
I've never tried a camber bar.. Do you just rest the bar in the middle of it? I feel like it wouldn't be very steady.
Click to expand...

Yeah it holds pretty well. Because of the angle of the setup, the collar on the end of the barbell kind of acts like a stopper.
 
Daaaaaaamn Daniel, back at it again with the rows!!

v all the way,

actually at a gym now that has a floor mount for the end of the bar, previously had to find a corner to do those

def have to focus more on the movement - but no handle stuff whew, f that lol

Cable stuff without a handle is awesome too. Tricep pushdowns, hammer curls, rear delts, really forces you to concentrate on feeling the muscle and achieving that contraction!

Yeah I hate just grabbing the bar. It's awkward for my retarded wrists.

I love Tricep kickbacks without a handle on the cable. One of my favorite exercises for them.

So much this. As a fellow Dan, I was so confused when people kept saying that to me until someone showed me the video. I nearly went to court and changed my name so as not to be associated with that idiot.
 
I think it's hilarious how something so stupid can become so famous. The dude got a lifetime supply of vans from it.

"DAAAAAAMN RASCAL BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE STEROIDS AND SUPPLEMENTS"

Get this going guys, maybe Pfizer or someone will hook me up.

You should try doing front rack shrugs! Talk about hitting your traps in a completely different way. Just hold that bar in the front position like the bottom of a shoulder press then only raise the weight up by shrugging / pressing your traps up, it is only about a 4 inch ROM but squeeze it at the top just like a regular shrug and you will be excited with how it feels. It works the front / upper portion a little more so you can see them better from the front.

woa- ok MrKleen73 that is a good one- sitting at my desk now practicing that movement and oh yea this is nice
 
Interesting.. I feel like I may get a few weird looks like I don't know what I'm doing but that's okay, it seems effective. Lol

Most people don't realize that the traps are not only a pull but kind of a push group and respond well to explosive training. The traps are what get you out of the bottom of a heavy military press, or even push press. If you train them from that aspect you will see different level of development in them.

I can definitely see this helping my overhead press!
 
Welp, I officially have a new favorite PWO. Mesomorph is freaking legit. Destroyed my legs this morning. Probably for the worse. One thing about training single body parts is just being able to hit them so thoroughly.

Old man is 38 today!! Also took my first dose of Spartan Lean post-workout. Will get the link to the log up tonight.
