Off day today....


Just resting and growing...highly doubt I will be able to go 2 - off - 2 every week. MAYBE some weeks, but it will be the exception, not the rule.

 

[macedaddy]

why? you NEED to rebuild, so resting is jsut as important as lifting, just remember that!

 

[bLacKjAck.]

Mr Mace, read carefully:

2 - off - 2 = Working out Mon/Tues Wed=off working out Thurs/Fri.

I said I wont be able to do this because it would take too much of a toll on my body, and NOT ENOUGH REST!!

 

[macedaddy]

so sorry! misunderstood


:thumbsup:

i typically do 2-off-2-off-off, so that is a good split!

 

[bLacKjAck.]

you still planning on working out the same days (MT RF)? I find that easy to work with.

 

[Ubiquitous]

Nice PR BJ.. If you hit 500 by the end of September, I'll personally punch out Jared the Subway Guy for you.

 

[bLacKjAck.]

Yeh I am going to TRY to manage that...but if my body tells me I need rest...rest is what it will get.

 

[bLacKjAck.]

Squats: 135x10 - 225x8 - 225x4 - 295x12 (little better form than last week...will go up next week...just wanted to be sure I felt VERY solid before I move on....perfect form today)

Rear Forearm Curls: 125 x10-x12-x13


Great workout today...so proud of that leg press man, felt soooooooo good. I dunno if I will be in the gym or not tomorrow...will have to see how much sleep I get tonight and how my body feels upon waking...that leg press took a lot out of me.

 

[bLacKjAck.]

Clean & Press/Behind Neck Press: 135x10 - 175x8 - 175x6....was so exhausted right here....forgot to do shoulders before triceps...oh well...

Deadlifts: 315x10 - 365x6 - 405x1 ...... and this was the end of my workout....my stomach was acting up real bad and I couldn't concentrate on lifting...Got on the Flat Bench and tried to press 225x1 .... no dice ... knew it was time to go home....literal 100% exhaustion....


Not Bad numbers until my stomach REALLLY started to give me problems by the time we got to shoulders...went south from there. Taking a day off tomorrow.....maybe even Thurs. too....we'll see.

Confucious says: Take sh1t before workout to not have a sh1tty workout. :dump: :blink:

 

[Ubiquitous]

Seeing improvement, nice DB presses and leg presses. Congrats on the DL pr as well.

How come you went to flat bench after deads when you already benched? And you're doing a back thickness exercise, but no pullups/pulldowns today?

Sorry to hear about your tum tum.

Yeh no pullups or pulldowns yesterday bc of absolute exhaustion and being so close to hurling.

I went to flat bench bc I was talking to these guys and just messin around bc I felt horrible.

 

[Ubiquitous]

cough

 

[pistonpump]

just checking this out. i cant believe i didnt see this earlier.

I just started reading about DC and have completed two workouts already although i have to brush up on the how to's. It is basically more intensity and frequency with lower volume and the basics sound really good. I did have a hard time the first day in trying to keep my self from doing more excercises. I think i did 2 chest and 2 tris. Today i did the second workout and i was disciplined. Im looking forward to DC.

 

[bLacKjAck.]

cough

Yeh I need to keep this thing going...as do you:clap2:




ps: update coming later today...

 

[pistonpump]

how do you like it so far BJ?

 

[bLacKjAck.]

how do you like it so far BJ?

The DC? Well I am not DC training right now, but I loved it while I was doing it. Great for strength training.

 

[bLacKjAck.]

Bi's/Tri's - Going real light on the Bi's today, they are feeling sorta overtrained....so minimal output.


Close Grip Bench: 175x15 - 195x12 - 205x10 - 225x8 (All done with 60 sec rest.)

Reverse Grip Bench (Smithy: 205x12 - 225x10 - 275x5)

DB Curls: 50x12 - 55x10 - 65x5 <----form couldn't be better.

Hammer Strength Iso Curls: (Very odd machine, but I really liked it...weight is really weird though) 90x10 - 120x8 - 100x8


V-Bar Pressdowns: 200x14 - 230x10 - 220x10 - 250x4


Lying (face forward Rope OH Press) - Who the hell knows the name of this... 120x12 - 150x7 - 150x6

And that was it....W/O felt real good....solid all the way around...

 

[bLacKjAck.]

Ok, so I have slacked major ass lately...have worked out maybe 5-6x in the last month or two, diet has been horrible...and I am an idiot...need to know anything else?

So I started back yesterday, just went to the gym and worked a little bit of w/e i felt like working....I am heading to the gym for chest/tris today...will update lata...

Yesterday's workout went something like this:


Seated Plate Loaded calf raise: 4 plates x15 - 5 plates x10 - 5 plates x 10

Leg Curls: 200x14 - 220x12 - 250x8

Decline Ball Crunches w/ 15lb Ball (w/ partner throwing ball into the decline..also ball stays behind head throughtout the movement): x20 x15 x15 x10

Forearm Curls: 95x15 - x15 - x15 - x10

Might have done a couple other things too, dunno...Today will be balls to the wall though....I will give it all I have, as unimpressive as the numbers may be I'm gonna post em up, and we can all watch the sweet muscle memory take place...

good call.

 

[bLacKjAck.]

good call.

Yeh, I figured I would start back sorta slow, maybe to avoid injury...I dunno...I could just be paranoid...either way --- its what I am gonna do the first week.

Body weight is right at ~210.


Body fat yesterday was 12.4% <----- Diet has been that bad


I am setting a goal that by January/February I want to work myself to 215 @ around 8-9% body fat. Will be using only natural supps (creatine/beta-alanine) and HOPEFULLY a perfect diet.:dance:

 

[RisingAgainst]

Wow.. 3 pages of nothing.. garbage.. lol JK

 

[nycste]

not sure if im subbed or not

 

[Ubiquitous]

You can hit your goal easily.. only problem is the holidays. I usually let my training go to **** 2-3 weeks around christmas because I usually do off the wall, exorbitantly priced vacations around then.

Good luck, all you need is that motivation and you'll reach your goal.

As far as the pulldowns...Well I had too little weight on there...didn't realize I didn't put enough. So I just went till it started to burn.


BB curls do good things

 

[bLacKjAck.]

Chest is today later on.

Update: Will be adding Nimbus' SWELL & BLAST to my supplement regimen here coming up. I am very very excited about these two, and I would really encourage you guys to check these supps out...formulations are top notch.

 

[thesinner]

So what is your current split looking like?

Best of luck with your continued endeavors.

Keep us posted on "SWELL". I'm not too much a fan of their decision to use AAKG (although I completely understand why); however, the rest of the formulation is TOP FREAKING NOTCH!

Yeh the AAKG was not something I jumped out of my seat about (but I could do without arg. anyways so its w/e there), but exactly like you said I do understand why. But yeh, the formulations of both I am HUGE fan of.

My training split at least until I get back in the game is:

Mon: Back/Bi
Tues: Shoulder/Forearms/Abs
Wed: Off
Thurs: Legs
Fri: Chest/Tris

Once I get back up to where I was, I will most likely move back into DC.
