Azinine's get swole journal

[Azinine]

Whoa! I have a question for you guys. If you notice in the first picture I posted my right shoulder sits lower than my left. I checked myself in the mirror just to make sure it's really there and it is. I can certainly "fix" it but it doesn't feel natural. When I am truly relaxed, that's what happens. My question is: What could cause this? Is is just poor posture or could something else be going on?

thanks.

Workout #5, 4/23/08

Deadlift: 135x5, 155x5, 180x5, 205x5

OHP: 80x5, 80x5, 95x5, 110x5

Squat: 95x5, 120x5, 145x5, 145x5

Thoughts: Glad I upped my theoretical deadlift max because it was still relatively easy. The last set of overhead presses was a bit difficult. This could be because I misread my log book and did 80lbs on my first set when I was supposed to to 70lbs. Or it could be that this will be the first lift that I have to reset...

Good workout overall.

Workout #6, 4/25/08

Squat: 95x5, 120x5, 145x5, 165x5, 195x3, 145x8

Bench: 85x5, 110x5, 130x5, 150x5, 175x3, 135x8

Barbell Row: 65x5, 80x5, 95x5, 110x5, 130x3, 95x8

Thoughts: The only set that was a little bit challenging was the heavy triple and the final set of 8 for squats. Everything else was pretty darn easy.

Workout #7, 4/28/08

It's the start of week 3 on the intermediate 5x5 program. I went into it feeling like complete crap for some reason. Very low energy today. I was able to complete the workout, though, so that's good. The top sets for each lift were pretty difficult. Especially the bench.

Squat: 100x5, 120x5, 145x5, 170x5, 195x5

Bench: 90x5, 110x5, 130x5, 155x5, 175x5

Barbell Row: 65x5, 80x5, 100x5, 115x5, 130x5

Decent lifts so far. It makes me envious to see everyone walk into the weight room and start at such a higher level then I did. But I was just a week, skinny guy who did a ton of cardio before I started lifting seriously.

Either way good luck on losing that fat and hopefully you stay dedicated and your strength skyrockets! Either way I wish you the best of luck and I will be checking on this journal every so often.

Great job bro....way to keep it up. I'm just getting back in the gym myself. I've got a lot more to do on the fat loss part than you though. With my diet dialed in and constant cardio I know I'll be on par in no time. Keep pluggin away, I'll be checkin in on your progress.....watching other's success fires me up!

Workout #9, 5/2/08, Week 3, Day 3

Squat: 100x5, 120x5, 145x5, 170x5, 200x3, 145x8

Bench: 95x5, 110x5, 130x5, 155x5, 180x3, 135x8

Barbell Row: 65x5, 80x5, 100x5, 115x5, 135x3, 100x8

Overall great workout. The heavy triple for the squat was a little heavy. My legs just felt a little weak today. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to do the heavy triple on bench today because I woke up with a "crunchy" right shoulder. By the time I worked my way up to 180 if felt good, though, and I banged it out with no problem. Looking forward to starting week 4!

Workout #10, 5/5/08, Week 4, Day 1

Excited about starting week 4. Pretty good workout today.

Squat: 100x5, 125x5, 150x5, 175x5, 200x5

The heavy set was pretty taxing but I got it done without a problem. I was pretty winded afterward.

Bench: 90x5, 115x5, 135x5, 160x5, 180x5

Easy

Barbell Row: 70x5, 85x5, 100x5, 120x5, 135x5

I couldn't keep strict form on the final set... had to cheat a little on the last couple of reps...

Workout #11, Week4, Day 2

Squat: 100x5, 125x5, 150x5, 150x5

OHP: 70x5, 85x5, 100x5, 115x5

Couldn't keep strict form on the last set. Had to do push presses. If I remember correctly, that's ok, though. Still, I think I may keep the OHP numbers the same next week.

Deadlift: 135x5, 160x5, 190x5, 215x5

Deads felt good.
