Southern chicks aren't really my style. There are two kinds...

Southern Belle: These are your "Daddy's girls" type. STAY AWAY! They know little about what it means to be a wife, and will suck every penny from you without a thank you.

Redneck: These chicks are usually a lot of fun. Know how to have a good time. Usually know how to treat a guy right...but all that's ever on their minds is hunting and college football.

Ya, some of them are definitely overweight, but a lot of their bodies somehow use cornbread, biscuits, and mash potatoes as a worthy fuel source, and don't retain any extra weight from it. :dunno:

:bb2: nice workouts holmies!
 
so, was doing some reading this weekend, and i've decided that doing an absurd amount of reps solely on one exercise (say, for instance, 108 reps on flat bench spread over 15 sets) isn't what i'm going for. so i've done some reading about some of arnold's routines, and his views on weightlifting, and i've adapted a routine laid out in his encyclopedia of bodybuilding, which i will start tonight and, if i like it, will continue for the next several months with it.
 
tonight's workout was nothing short of awesome. i think i'm really gonna dig this new routine that i've put together.

tonight was chest and back

bb bench press - 135 x 15 (warmup) 145 x 10, 155 x 8, 165 x 6, 185 x 4 (will increase weights next WO)
cable flies - (warmup on Nautilus fly machine 10 reps), 40 x 10, 60 x 8, 70 x 6
bb inclince bench press - 75 x 12 (warmup) 95 x 10, 105 x 8, 115 x 6, 135 x 6 (will increase weight next WO)
--- 30 minutes or so break, had to switch gyms ---
dips x15, x10, x8
pullovers (db) 20 x 15, 35 x 8, 35 x 8, (on machine) 65 x 15
----i'm probably going to stick with the machine because i was feeling something weird in my upper back while doing the DB pullovers, so until i figure out what i was doing wrong, i'm going to stick to the machine

Pullups - 10,9 (failure), 8 (failure), 7(failure)
Lat Pulldowns 85 x 10, 100 x 10
SS Lat Pulldowns Behind the Neck 85 x 10, 100 x 10
Cable Rows 70 x 15, 85 x 10, 100 x 6

Crunches x 20, x10, x10
 
Chest day...
Bench
135 x 10
165 x 5
190 x 5
195 x 5
205 x 5
205 x 3

Nautilus flies
1 set x 8
1 set x 7
Was going for one more rep when my vision went black and my head starting screaming. I put my hands on my head and the next thing I remember was laying on the mat trying not to throw up. My kinesiology buddy let me know that I had just suffered a benign exertional headache.
Called it quits came home iced my head and slept for 2 hours. It is now 3 hours later. I got up and ate... and now I am feeling a little nauseous and a slight pain in my forehead.
I will mostly call of my training session tomorrow and resume on wednesday.
 
I really hope you see the student health center about that. Hope you start feeling better.

Sweet w/o bud! It is sooo easy to get form wrong on any exercises, especially db pullovers. Where were you putting your back on the bench? Were your hips lowered? Were you elbows slightly bent? The pullover machine is cool but its not a good enough substitute for db pullovers. The machine hits more your lats and serratus than it does chest. Just my .02c.

i actually tried several positions for the db pullovers. I tried with my shoulder blades just off the edge, i tried in the middle of my back, any lower and the weight lifted my feet off the other side. my arms were always slightly bent, and i'm pretty sure that my hips were lowered, although i don't recall exactly how they were. any suggestions?

my diet is pretty simple. eat medium sized meals, but continue eating all day. i've upped my daily protein intake a lot (nectar is just sooo good!) but other than that i'm not taking any dietary supps. i'm trying to drink a glass or two of milk with every meal and eat all the main food groups. it's not very rigid or organized but i think that the less i think about it, the better i'll do.
 
Had to join in on the fun

so my headache/migraine is still present but standard time for an exertional headache ranges up to 48 hours so I am not really concerned. If all goes well I will be back to lifting tomorrow.
I will try to hit back tomorrow night then shoulders Friday morning and arms Friday night.
 
Orb Id suggest watching some youtube vids on db pullovers and study them.

Tyler, that sucks bro. These things happen when you are a bb addict tho :dunno:

Heal up fool!

Man, I'd get that checked out. That's pretty serious.

I called Tuesday. The day after it happened. The first available appointment was next Friday. I am calling again tomorrow telling them it is serious and I need to see someone. Hopefully I can get in tomorrow.
 
 
now for tonight's workout: chest and back

bench: 135 x 12 (warmup), 145 x 10, 160 x 8, 175 x 6, 190 x 4.5
flys: x10, x8, x6
incline: 95 x 12 (warmup), 105 x 10, 115 x 8, 125 x 6, 135 x 6 (will increase weight)
pullups: bw x 10, x10, x10, x8 (set to failure)
lat pulldowns: 70 x 10, 80 x 10 (will increase weight or reps)
SS behind neck lat pulldowns: 70 x 10, 80 x 10 (will increase weight or reps)
cable X-overs: 60 x 10, 80 x 8, 100 x 5 --this last set was tough cause i'm only 142lbs!
cable rows: 75 x 10, 90 x 8, 105 x 8, 120 x 6 (will increase weight or reps)
db pullovers: 25 x 15, 30 x 15, 35 x 15 (will increase weight) finally got these right, didn't feel any pain in my upper back!
 
so... I called the Dr. No room for me today. They suggested I go to the hospital so that is where I will be spending the rest of my day.
 
Damn man. Im really sorry to hear about all this. PM comn your way.
 
so the doctor thinks that it is either an aneurysm or a concussion. I am going to get an MRA now to see which it is.
He thinks that pressure built up in my brain when I was lifting and gave me the same effect a concussion would have without getting hit.
After the results from the MRA are determined, I have to see a neurologist and determine if this will continue happening in the future and I should quit lifting or if this was a one time deal.
