Classy and competition ready!

Totally off topic kiddo and I apologize for saying so on your thread, but I am loving DCP stacked with Hardcore Shred Xs so far...I had to let you know!

Im not crader but for myself I always twist at the top and my left upper pec is gigantic......like stupidly un proportioned to my right. The reason, IMO, for this unproportion is baseball (my whole right upper torso is waaay diff from my left side)

So for someone like urself, if like my left, would get some nice upper inner chest development.

I get the same as DW, I have deeper cuts in the pec region and better inner development. As well as the added stabilizer muscles.

Glad I asked, today is chest day. :)
I take it Thursday was an off day?
 
LOL no Thursday was back day. We went out late last night so I didn't get the chance to update.

Let me see if I can remember the workout.

We started with incline bench laying facing the floor and did palms in raises for 15 per side with palms flat 15 per side supersetted with 50lb bent over single rows for 10 reps x 4 sets.

We then did straight bar lat pulldowns for 15 at 60lbs and supersetted these with the bar under the rack , we layed under it using a wide, reverse grip and did 6 pull ups to the bar. We did 4 sets. (This by the way is where I learned always pay attention when you are told form, otherwise injuries occur. The girl she paired me with did the under the bar thing backwards, which she was told twice to turn around and she never did. Well she pulled a 45lb bar out of the rack and onto her knee..ouch!)

Then we did seated pulldowns wide grip for 15 reps, 70lbs supersetted with seated low rows for 60lbs 6 reps and 4 sets.

Then we did 30 leg raises bringing them slowly back to the floor. Only 1 sets of these :)

Then we did 65lbs straight bar sumo deadlifts. We did 15 for 4 sets.

I can't remember what else we did but we did a few other things.
 
haha it really seems to be a quality product to me, i'm glad to have taken the chance with it! I already knew with shred that I reacted well, so tacking this on should be optimal for me :)

Great work over there at RPN.
 
Arm day

I'm not sure what happened here but it was not my day. I had a pump going that interfered with my workout.

We did a warmup set of 15 reverse grip bench presses using the bar. Then we did 65lbs reverse grip for 4 sets and supersetted these with 20 tricep bench dips. Now the whole reverse grip thing made it really difficult for me.

Then we did 30 leg lifts with a slow release.

Then we did tricep pushdowns for 15 reps at 60lbs and supersetted these with 6 walkout pushups for 4 sets.

Then we did 4 sets of 20lb dumbell kickbacks. Supersetted with the cable row machine laying down with feet on the floor and chin tucked in and did 15 bicep curls at 50lbs for 4 sets.

We did 4 sets of 15 pronated bicep curls. Then we did 30 more leg lifts with a slow release.

Then we did 10 per side alternating hammer curls ending up near our ears. We did 4 sets.

Then we did 3 sets of heavy bicep curls. We did a few other things and then I was off to cardio land. Did 15 min on a 15 incline at 3.4 speed.

I took my HYP X late today so I really noticed how slow it kicked in. I took a pre workout RPM as well and that might be the pump thing.
 
I also found some snacks that don't do to much damage and claim to have probiotics in them for the times I'm tempted.

The peanut butter wafers taste good too.
 
Well, yet another totally awesome workout crader! Good job!! And I just might have to check out those peanut butter wafers. They sound scrumptous!! :food: THE THUNDERGOD:hammer:
 
Ok had shoulder day today. I'm struggling with myself at the moment. I'm not relly sure when I became dis-satisfied with what I see in the mirror, but I am. I have decided to give up my monsters and diet pop for the most part and try to live off water. Now mind you this is a weakness of mine, but I believe the sodium levels are killing me. So I'm going to go a week or so and see if it makes a difference. I feel fat and like I look like I don't train at all. :(

On to shoulders and enough whining..
Started with dumbell side raises from the front we did 15 of these and then immediately did 6 presses with dumbells facing forward. 4 sets.

Then we did a triple set of side raises but as we brought them up we rotated them to face up, we then did 6 more presses with dumbells turned in and then did 6 push ups balanced on the dumbells...4 sets.

Then we did 20 incline rear laterals on our stomach..we did 4 sets. we supersetted these with 6 full motion circles ending over our heads.

Then we did 10 per arm of straight forward raises on the incline bench on our stomach one arm at a time and sat up and did 20 shrugs, we did 4 sets.

Then we did candlestick raises for 15 per arm and did 30 mountain climbers for 4 sets.

We did a few other fun painful things and ended with a single set of 30 walkouts. I then went and hit up 20 min of cardio at a 15 incline and did 3.2 pace and a few little sprints uphill.
 
I'm also intend to put myself on a strict comp diet to get to where I wanted to be before we went to Cali...I can't live with who I see right now in the mirror.

put up some pictures and let us be the judge. We generally are our own worst critics

Exactly!! We beat ourselves up worse than any foe could do to us. You have to remain positive crader. What you believe and say becomes reality. Faith is a powerful thing even if it is misplaced. You start believing in yourself, because the rest of us damn sure believe in you!! Start looking in the mirror and visualize the image you want to become. Then believe it to achieve it!!:box: THE THUNDERGOD:hammer:

Hey C, I am the same way right now. I see that picture I posted from about 2 or 3 weeks ago and just think to myself "how the hell do you look that way after all you do"

Then I go on these college visits and the coaches seem my shirtless or in a cut off and make positive remarks about my physique.

We hold ourselves to a higher standard and compare ourselves to what we see in the fitness, figure and bb world. We may not match up to them but hell. We look pretty damn good for what we have on our plates with living and enjoying the people we are around ( matt seems like a good guy, he always makes me laugh :lol: )

Dont sweat it. The other night I stopped by my buddies house and shot the s h i t with him and his dad and had a great time. I had a beer or 2 but it was worth it. I could have passed on it but I wouldn't trade my look id have without the beers for the time I spent just hanging with my buddy in his dad. Your fine C keep up the hard work IT"S PAYING OFF.
 
Thanks guys, I will attemp pics over the holiday.

Apparently Nat will be off on Friday so we did chest/tris today.

I started with 15 min of cardio.

Then we did cable flies for 15 reps supersetted with 100 skip ups on the step up for 4 sets

Then we did overhead extensions for 15 with 6 pop pushups onto the board for 4 sets.

Then we did a combo move skullcrusher up into a dumbell flye as 1 rep for 10 reps supersetted with 30 side to side lunge ups on the board for 4 sets.

Then we did 20 tricep dips on the bench supersetted with 100 reps on the step up going from one side to the other. We did 4 sets here.

Then we did cable tricep pulldowns for 15 reps supersetted with 6 walkout tricep pushups for 4 sets.

We did a couple other sets and said goodbye for the day:) Tomorrow will be back/bi day and Fri will either be an off day or cardio /leg day for me.

I had one Monster today and have done pretty good on keeping sodium down today. I've also used Reloaded and ephedra today to drop some fat.

I took 1 ephedra and 3 Hyp X before the gym and felt strong the whole workout! I did notice with the Hyp X a huge increase in sweat.
 
Had a pretty good back/bi day today. Motivation was up and I was stronger and stupid me told her the weight she gave me was easy, not thinking that I just started and would be pulling 4 sets of 15 with a higher weight :)

Its been awhile since the gym and I took the kids to the fireworks here so I'm having a hard time remembering the routine:(.

I believe we started with reverse grip pulldowns at 80lbs x 15 x 4 sets.

Then we did single arm alternating deads with a 55lb dumbell at 15 per arm supersetted with 10 pop squats balanced on the dumbells and on the way up we did a bicep curl with each arm. We did 4 sets.

Then we did dumbell pullthroughs for lower back for 15 reps supersetted with narrow grip bicep curls with the bar at 35lbs for 15 reps.

Then we did laying incline bench curls for 15 per arm for 4 sets. We did a bunch more back and bi stuff and my lower back was screaming at me, then we ended with alternating bicep curls for 50 reps.

My endurance was strong and stamina was up. I took my supps a little to close to the training and all the jumping around stuff she had us do made me a wee bit naseaus but I was fine at the end!!
 
Nice work C.

Hope you, matt, and the kids have a great 4th! :)
 
Leg day. Well leg day was harsh.

We started out doing the standing leg curl machine at 30lbs for 10 reps each leg and it was supersetted with 80lb laying leg curls 15 reps and 4 sets.

We then did 3 sets of two lunge steps and 3 standing jump lunges repeated all the way across the gym. We walked back and had to go right back into them when we got there.

Then we did 3 sets of two walking lunge steps into 3 pop squats and repeated the cycle across the gym floor and right back into them after we walked back.

Then we did one legged barbell deadlifts at 15 per leg and then did 30 stripper pole squats.sigh that felt so sleazy and gay looking..We did 4 sets.

Then we did 10 per leg of the butt blaster machine;) and supersetted it with 70 lb leg extensions for 4 sets.

Then I did 5 sets of 10 calf raises with two 45 lb plates on it.

Then I went to Bonefish Grille and had tilapia ...yummm!!!
 
Stripper pole squats? :wtf: Is that really an exercise?!! Now I don't consider my self a perv from watching all those young girls "exercising" in those clubs!! :lol: THE THUNDERGOD:hammer:
 
LOL TG...She had us go to the squat rack and straddle the pole holding on with both hands as we went ass to the ground for 30 reps.
 
Today was a sexy day at the gym, lol. It was pouring down rain and we had to park far away, so needless to say I looked like a drowned rat.

We did shoulders today
We started with 15 forward dumbell raises supersetted with 10 presses for 4 sets.

Then we did 20 pulses supersetted with 6 bent over laterals.

Then we did 15 up and outs triplesetted with 10 machine raises and 30 mountain climbers for 4 sets.

We did 10 per arm on dumbell chin raises and then did 20 side extensions for 4 sets.

We did a bunch of other things and called it a day. I'm still hurting and sore hours later. My tendonitis seems to be acting up and I've had some joint pain lately. Might be time to hit the Incarnate again.
 
Crader, I'm assuming your tendonitus and joint pain is in your shoulder? Are you doing any rotator-cuff exercises? I do them before every workout. No matter what bodyparts I'll be training. I hurt my left "tater" about 2 years ago. Since then I religiously do the rotator exercises and it is much better now. It still twinges sometimes (hell, it ought with what I throw at it! lol) but it's good to go! I hope this helps you out!:thumbsup: THE THUNDERGOD:hammer:
 
I was also going to suggest some mild shoulder capsule work Christine. If you have light powered resistance bands you can use them with a good 3-4 variation of exercises that should make you feel better and more loose.
 
I'll have to look at some of those exercises. Because it hurts quite a bit on shoulder day and sometimes chest. But my elbow and knee joints have started hurting so I need a cissus product to lube the joints:)

Upping your fish oil intake will also help with inflammation! Could also toss in a little Glucosamine Chondroitin. THE THUNDERGOD:hammer:

LOL I'm willing. All the free weights and high reps and sets are starting to take a toll.

Due to a massive increase in SP sales we have to skip the gym today to make an order deadline. So my battered old body gets a break:)

Slick...


Way to get out of lifting! :lol:
 
LOL Bob
Well in between filling 900 bottles I rode the stationary bike every hour for 6 hrs. The pumps on the drums gave me a good tri pump and shoulder workout and I have major 2nd day DOMS in my legs so I had to do stationary lunge while I was filling to keep from getting stiff. Thank god for the bike at the shop or I would have been super stiff.

:goodpost: That's great. Even at work ya'll have it set up for the lifestyle.
 
Yesterday i had back day. Let me see if I can remmber what I did.

We started with the assisted pull up machine and did a 15 rep warm up.

Then we did 4 working sets. She had me do 10 reps as she decreased the resistance each time. My final set was a 7 rep set with 20 lbs assisted, so I had to haul most of my own weight. After this set we did 30 sit ups.

Then we moved on to single arm low rows at 50lbs for 10 reps supersetted with behind the head pulldowns for 6 reps at 70lbs. We did our 4 sets.

Then we did wide grip pulldowns supersetted with 80lb rows for 15 reps each for 4 sets we also added in 10 pop squats for 4 sets here.

She then had us do bent over dumbell rows at 55lbs per arm at 15 per arm supersetted with 30 crunches.

Then we did rows using the cable machine pulling in towards your chest at 60lbs supersetted with 50 mountain climbers.

My mind is drawing a blank on the rest of the routine but we ended with 20 push ups and I did 15 min of incline cardio. Today is arm day and we have a new guy training so I hope its an easy routine. I'm 2 days without sleep and relying on my ephedra and Hyp X to keep me going. I've been dosing the Hyp X 2 times a day on my tired days to keep standing.
 
Get you some sleep crader! Are ya'll still playing catch-up SP orders?
 
that reminds me, now that we are done with the pregnancy, i can actually try SP :D

So christine, for your laughter sake, david was born 10 or 11 weeks ago, at 8lbs 6oz or so, now at 10 weeks he right about 18lbs. thats over top of chart for a 4 month old. luckily his height is also over the top of chart too.....
