Just Having Fun In The Gym!!!

ya, it's definitely more dialed in this time. Trying to pay more attention to my fats this time which seems to be helping quite a bit.
 
Sorry I haven't updated in a few days but i've been busy taking my personal training course. I'll be in the gym today to train back.
 
Back

Deadlifts 135x10 / 225x10 / 315x5 / 405x5 / 455x3 / 505x1 (wanted to go heavier but i wasn't feeling it today)

Close Grip Pulldowns Sup/ Wide Grip Chins (Set 1) 220x10 & b/w for 7
(Set 2) 250x10 & bw for 5 (Set 3) 280x8 & bw for 3 w/ for 4 assisted reps

Padded Wide Grip T-Bar Rows 90x10 / 115x10 / 140x8

Notes:
- followed someone else's workout routine and enjoyed it
- pump was great
- deadlifts didn't go as well as i liked due to no lift on the bottom end of the movement, which is funny because usually the other way around for me
- training chest tomorrow

- Didn't eat well yesterday so my numbers reflected that
- body fat continues to drop but man do i ever need a tan

- actually got to enjoy the sun today
 
I'm taking the weekend off to relax and then back to the gym tomorrow. I had a great week of workouts but the body needs to heal a bit. It was actually sunny this weekend here so i was able to work on my tan a bit while throwing the football around.
 
I'm going to attempt a DC training program starting tomorrow. If i am doing anything wrong please advise me and i'll adjust my workout as needed.
 
Didn't make it in to the gym today as i was feeling a little under the weather but i did finally manage to post a profile pic finally. I'm still new to this forum thing.

- can' wait to do workout b next
 
28 turning 29 in june. thanks for the compliment and it's nice to know that someone is following along. I haven't had a response in here in quite a while.
 
Do you take any supplements, or do you get everything from your diet? I hope someday I can get to at least 200 pounds.
 
Right now i'm not taking anything, but i just finished two months of anadraulic state. You'll get to 200. I started at 180 when i started and i'm 60 pounds heavier now so it's definitely possible.
 
I started 4-5 months ago at 135, lol :Flush: but lately it's been hard to pack on any more weight. I know it's my diet. Do you have any suggestions for quick high calorie food or mixes? Thanks for any input, and I'll be watching this log. I think it will inspire me to work hard.
 
nice to have you along for the ride big man. The extra motivation always helps!
 
Workout B

Preacher Curls 90x9 / x3 / x2

Dumbbell Hammer Curls 55x11 / x4 / x2

Lying Leg Curls 90x11 / x5 / x3

Notes:
Didn't really understand how many sets to do for calves but i assumed only one

Can anyone tell me whether i need to do a seperate workout for abs as i'm a little confused here?

I'll be going in later tonight to do workout b. I've been busy trying to find my wife a new car.
 
ohh... how bout a yaris? sorry for missing a few days - cruising was making me apathetic about a lot of things.
 
no worries bro. Good to hear from you. I'm going to have dinner and then i'm going to go smash some weight around. I've got numbers to beat so i'm pretty excited, i'm really enjoying the dc training.
 
Workout B

Notes:

- numbers continue to fall like dominoes
- the stretching for quads is absolutely awesome for creating a pump
- beat all my rep numbers and managed to go up in weight on some exercises
- absolutely loving this training program
 
Thanks bro! I probably wouldn't have given DC a try if i hadn't seen your log. I just like that i constantly am in competition with myself every time i go in there. I also appreciate the support as I don't have a lot of people following my log and i'm back to training on my own again, so all the extra motivation helps.

Click to expand...

i like the idea of forcing yourself to do better - sometimes i just don't want to do that extra rep, but i know i've got to do it, or get rid of the exercise.
 
Workout A

Incline Smith Presses 300x9 / x4 / x2 (Time to move the weight up)

Went out to the cabin for the weekend so i haven't been in the gym for about four days.
I'm headed to the gym tonight to do workout A with one of my powerlifting buddies who wants to give the program a try. I am also planning on using the sample packs that controlled labs shipped me. I may do a seperate review for them or i might just express my opinions in this log. Hope everyone had a great weekend and i'll post numbers later today.
 
The samples i'm going to try today are White Flood and Green Magnitude. Tomorrow i'll try White Flood, Purple Wraath and Golden Gains.

My workout last night must have been unreal as my DOMS today are freaking brutal.
 
thanks buddy! nice to have you along for the ride.
 
Workout B

Preacher Curls 90x9 / x4 / x2

Hammer Curls 60x9 / x5 / x3

Seated Calf Raises 115x10 (Ouch, these freakin hurt today)

Front Squats 305x7 / 175x20

Leg Curls 100x12 / x5 / x3

Notes:
- absolutely awesome workout
- widow maker keeps getting stronger
 
I want to say Dante recommends doing the forearm workout as 1 straight set 12-15... What's your reasoning for RP'ing them?
 
it's actually the only thing i vary, i do it because my body has always responded to lower reps better than higher reps. What i'm doing right now is working so i'll stick with it until it stops working.
 
The DOMS in my legs are absolutely ridiculous. DAMN WIDOWMAKERS! I'm going to try X-Dreams tonight so hopefully I can get a good nights sleep so i can heal and rock Workout A tomorrow. It's nice to have a few more people following along as it helps with extra motivation.
 
I havent subbed to this yet, but better late than never!

Numbers are one thing but ive seen first hand the iron destruction in punthras wake.
 
Thanks bro. Glad to see your following along!!! I hope football season goes well for you.
 
SWG, i'm probably going to be a groupie this year as i can't afford to miss time in the gym like i did last year due to stupid injuries. Thanks sunny for the compliment.
