9/17/13 workout log

Started a new 8 week routine yesterday which basically has me doing a bunch of 1 exercise per day... Hopefully work won't mess this up for me, i haven't been skipping the gym just didn't bother to log any of it.

Squats 8 sets 10 reps with 3min rest between sets (my gym only has 1 squat rack so i had to use the smith for part of the workout)

Smith
180x10
200x10
200x10
200x10
230x10

Rack

In for this. I'd like to see how this new routine works out for you.

Good to have you along, the link below gives the details about the routine I'm looking to follow.

Pullups (body weight) 8 sets for 10 reps.... This workout was easier than I had initially anticipated but I'm not going to push it just yet until I have been through one full week of this routine. Working up to the 10th rep got difficult after the first 4 sets but not to bad overall.
 
9/18/13 Workout log

I guess I should mention where i'm at in this 8 week routine so for now it is day 3 week 1. Normally when I workout I am drenched in sweat but that was not the case with the both pull ups and the incline bench. I'm going to try to keep on top of getting in my 10-20min moderate cardio while doing this rotuine. Also noticed that my legs are just starting to recover from squats on Monday so I may have to change my diet a bit to help with the recovery time.

Ok this weekend sucked for my lifting... I was not able to hit the gym at all Friday-Sunday, so I have plenty to make up for. I'm going to try and make up some days of this routine, I can do deads/chin ups today and rows/dips tomorrow. Hopefully this will not impact the overall outcome but this coming weekend isn't looking much better... I may have picked a ****ty time to start this routine but I still plan to see it through.
 
9/23/13 Workout log

I managed to get in chins and deads yesterday but I admit this was harder than I thought. I haven't been using gloves for a while and both of these require grip strength so it tore up my hand a bit. I couldn't complete the 8 sets for either workout since I was running out of time at the gym but I managed to get 7 of each. I alternated workouts between sets, so set of chins followed by a set of deads.

7 sets 10 chin ups

Deads
160x10 DB (80lb each hand) all the BB's in the gym were in use and I had to get started
125x10 BB
195x10 BB
195x10 BB
195x10 BB
195x10 BB
195x10 BB (had to rest a few seconds after the 8th rep to finish the last 2)
 
Do you rest 3 minutes between sets or do you keep it shorter?

Yea I've been sticking to the 3 minutes rest. I notice the only days so far that really seem tough are squats and deads, the other days are not as rough.
 
9/24/13 workout log

Again to catch up on things I did incline bench and dips. Instead of the 8 sets of 10 dips I did 4 sets of 20 after doing incline bench. I don't have a belt to add weight so body weight dips are not so bad. When I finished incline bench I felt like I do more sets and I noticed the sets had gone easier than last time.

Incline bench BB
125x10

My shoulders, back, hams, glutes and even abs were sore yesterday so I decided to take the day off. I'm hitting the gym tonight to do squats and probably some calf raises... Tomorrow I have a work event so I won't be able to hit the gym but i should be good for Saturday morning and with any luck maybe sunday evening but I'm not counting on it since its my buddies bachelor party. I may have picked a crap time to start this routine but I'm going to stick with it for now. I have also upped the carbs this week to help with recovery as I know I am not recovering like I should from these workouts. I'll have to cut again once I have finished this routine.

Been slacking on the log but I should be caught up now. Haven't had a chance to update or hit the gym lately because i'm getting killed with work. Havent been in the gym since monday and I probably won't be able to go tonight or tomorrow... Saturday and sunday I'm going to have a lot to make up for which really won't work with this regiment... After the DB rows on Sunday i felt a mild ache in my elbows but I'm going to try and tough out this routine for a bit longer. This week should be week 3 but I will likely extend this half to 5 weeks before beginning the other 4 week portion of the program. I might be able to do pull ups tonight at the least if all goes well.

I felt really good about my dead lifts last night, it was the first time I can say I actually felt comfortable doing them with bigger weight. I never had the issue of my grip giving out though with the exception of farmer walks. Usually my grip is solid but I guess I'll have to work on that.
