Jcm's road to the 2013 npc Southern Classic!

[jcmbbfuture]

Last set I did of rack pulls in 2010 before getting injured was 725 for 6. I got tweaked in my form on the last rep and pulled every muscle up my left side core, abs, serratus, obliques ect. Couldn't sneeze or cough for a month without major pain lol. Only reason I was rack pulling is because I tore a small spot in my abdomen(umbillical hernia)

That is some awesome weight burn!! Now I have something to shoot for. Lol. That blows to have that kind of injury though. I throw around some weight but I try my best to be careful. I have a hernia myself. Right through the belly button. Had it for 4 years so I am always conscious of that. That's why I also wear a belt all the time. My core is extremely strong so I dont wear it for support...instead I use it to keep it from poking out. Lol.

So day two of this week went pretty well! I had a pretty good shoulder workout and the inflammation was minimal during. My shoulder is a bit sore today but that comes with the territory. So here we go...

Exercise1 bb military
145x20
145x20
145x20
195x15
195x15
195x15

Exercise2 db military
60sx15
70sx15
80sx12
90sx12

Exercise3 db lateral raises
20sx50
25sx40
30sx30

Exercise4 bent over db laterals
30sx25
30sx25
30sx25
30sx25

So keeping with Monday's theme, I kept things a bit lighter and went for higher reps and good solid contractions. I felt pretty good for the most part and each week I feel my shoulder getting stronger and stronger.

As far as the cycle goes, I am pretty pleased so far. Its only been a week and a half and strength hasn't really jumped but I am much more full and packing my weight back on. Believe it or not, my vascularity is even increasing as well! So far so good! Hopefully I will continue to have good updates to follow.

Generally a good average for my military press is 235x12-15 (sometimes closer to 20 on a great day. Lol)

So I crushed legs tonight!! The workout is gonna seem super simple and easy but it roasted my legs! I kept with the light weight, higher rep theme of the week. So here it is

Exercise1 bb squats
235x30
235x25
235x20/ drop to 145x15

Exercise2 leg press AMRAP
5 plates each sidex130 reps

So that was it! The whole workout. Lol. I did no hams because mine are still a bit tight from the deads earlier this week, and with my recent injury I am not going over the edge. The squats were awesome and had my legs pumped and on fire and the AMRAP finished them off. For those of u who dont know, AMRAP stands for as many rounds as possible or as many reps as possible. On leg press I went with the rep version and set the timer for 5 mins. In that dive minutes I had to get as many reps as possible. Lol. As u see I got 130 reps. Not great, but not to shabby after those squats! Over 200 reps in two exercise is pretty effecient if u ask me! U guys give it a try!

That's sick bro. Think about how much weight you actually lifted.
