Pretty awesome workout today. Still don't have my straps which put my back exercises at about 80% strength. Was supposed to pick some up this morning before I went to gym but I left my wallet at my girl's parent's house. So no money for straps :dunno:. Still a great w/o.
The w/o - C2
1. Warm up scap
2. Decline iso press - (just plate #s) 90x10, 140x10, 180x6, 240x9-4-3=16 will up weight next time
3. Chest stretch w/ 35's
4. Arnold press - been a longgg time since doing these. 20x10, 25x10, 30x6, 45x7-6-6=19 Will stick at this weight next time.
5. Stretch for 60 secs
6. Db skullz - best exercise of the day! - 15x10x2, 25x6, 35x23-12-10=45!! Wow! I was doing 12 reps for 35's last time but on a different routine. Will up to 40's next time.
7. Stretch - ohhh man did it burn!!
8. Rack chins with no straps - wahhh!! I couldve gotten like 3-4 more reps if I had straps!! :dead: Bwx10x2, +30x6, +40x7-5-4=16..will up weight next time but w/ straps
9. 1 arm db rows - again no straps so blah 60x10, 80x10, 100x6 :dead: I was repping 120's w/ straps
10. Lat stretch w/ no straps :frustrate: for 60 secs. Will add weight to my feet w/ straps next time. I am looking very thick and swole these days! People have commented on my size over the last week! Good things happening!

Well I would totally be down for that but I have preexisting shoulder issues and I want to play it safe here. Maybe 1 time next time thoIt could just be me not being cautious, but after I do chest, I don't warm-up for delts. They get a decent amount of work in any chest movement, so I think they're plenty warmed up afterward. I have yet to have any issues, so maybe give that a shot next ch,dt,tr,bw,bt session? This will also help to not make you as tired, and you should theoretically be able to do another rep or 2 on your working set, since you're delts won't be as worn out. Nice session for sure bro, keep killin that shyt!
Rolling along nicely Met. Two things to suggest if I may...10lb increase might be a big jump for the EZ curl. A little makes a big diff with these. I would think 5lbs might be a better jump to see where the reps hit. The second suggest is for the squat warm up. That is alot of sets bubba. I would just do something like 95-15, 135-10, 185-5 and then the heavy set. My 2 cents bubba...
Just curious as to your opinion Rob, but why the ez curl bar vs. the straight bar... I assume your were standing up not on a preacher bench right?
After my first A1-C2 workouts, I can already see some physical changes. So naturally I am crazy excited to see what happens at the end of this next A1-C2.
I never used 2.5lb plates until DC training. You will learn to rely on them alot!
Haha I knew you would say that..and if not you then Imprez. I agree the 5lb jump is better. I was just amped and excited about yesterday's workout. When it came time for my next A1 workout, I am sure I would have just moved up the 5lbs.Rolling along nicely Met. Two things to suggest if I may...10lb increase might be a big jump for the EZ curl.

Like Imprez said, I have wrist issues. They have actually started to get waayyy better! I can barely even feel it now. As soon as it is completely gone, I will be doing straight bar again. I just wont be attempting anything lower than 6-8 reps with it. I am doing straight bar drag curls tho and I am having no issues.Just curious as to your opinion Rob, but why the ez curl bar vs. the straight bar...

I can barely walk today :lol:I have the same 2 cents..lol
Good session Met. How did you like calves done the correct way?
Believe he said on a previous page, it was due to wrist pain.
rightI know right?
I hear ya man. I figure because I am "on" and I am young I can handle the bigger jumps. I know I gotta slow it down. Like I said above I am just excited and when it comes time for my next A1 session, I will move up 5lbs. Now I need to get in the habit of using the loaded ez bar as opposed to the fixed.Nice to see you reaping the gains man!! I third the 5lb. increase. I always get a little over-zealous once I start gaining, then wind up with some down time form an oops. Not saying your a wuss like me, jsut saying to take it slow. Awesome progress though!!
I actually have enjoyed loading up those 2.5s. Just makes me feel good knowing I am getting stronger even if its by 5lbs because I know next time I will be loading up another 5lbs. :head:I never used 2.5lb plates until DC training. You will learn to rely on them alot!
I know right..
I am thinking of getting some of those magnetic plates you can stick on DB's, so i can go up in smaller increments on them.
AZ- Do you tend to work from the top of the range, down over time, or lower in the range, and try to add reps to top of range?
I think I need to do it as a 5 day rotation instead of 4, i just can't even with my ridiculous overall supplementation manage to recuperate from legs in 4 days (with the partial hit the hams get on the deadliftS)
no, the 2 way one, but i'm counting bis/forearms/calves/hams/quads as legs. Its working though, I just need to figure a way to recover faster![]()
from that i thought you meant you were in the gym, 4 days..I think I need to do it as a 5 day rotation instead of 4

Really? You are feeling shut down?
Like end of third week Mdrol cycle shut down?
Oh no not that bad..it's def one of the mildest shutdowns I've experienced. I just feel like I need a break. I'd like to go back to normal for a while and train natty. I'm just feeling worn out. Nah mean?
I have to find my half bottle of hemodraulix. I know its here somewheres
i'm this close to bailing out of my CKD
Glycobolzzzzzz.......
I give you credit mang, I could never ditch out on my carbs like that unless I was being paid to lift/attempting to make money with my physique in some way.
Eh, I have had my eyes on Hemo for a while. Plus I mentioned it to you before you came and pimped it out... :lol:
You tried the glycobolz yet?
Stoked,GlycoBol,ActivateX stack G. I think that is my next playlist. I am messing around with a GBol sample bottle right now and liking the results. I just need to get this PCT over...
