Workout #32 8-9-07

Well today for some reason I'm really freaking sick of milk, so I think I'm going to skip it today and replace the calories with other foods, already had 2 cups anyways. Besides that everything went well today.

Weight: 201lbs, wow, I'm getting heavier but where is it all going?

Squat: 45x5, 95x5, 115x5, 135x5, 155x4, I wasn't fully recovered from squats from last time so I decided to go light on them today.

Overhead Press: 45x5, 75x5, 85x4, 85x3, 80x3, a little better then last time.

Barbell Rows: 135x5, 145x5x2, decided to do a little heavier weight on these today, did them pretty well... I'm really surprised on how much these have taken off considering how much struggling I did with them at first.

Workout #33 8-11-07

Well today I had to remind that I'm on a marathon and not a sprint and as such my form was kinda sloppy last workout day so I decided to lower the weight a little and do all my lifts with really good form, to that I succeeded wonderfully, so I'm much happier with todays workout then the rest of this weeks.

Weight: 198lbs

Squat: BWx10x2, 45x10, 135x5, 145x5, 150x5, 155x3. I'm back to squatting to full deepness, and it feels great.

Bench: 45x10, 115x5, 135x5, 135x4, just didn't feel like thrashing myself on these today although my form was good last time.

Deadlift: 135x5x2, 155x5, did two sets of 135 to warm-up on these and remind myself how to do them with good form then did 155 just for good measure, my form was excellent and my back felt great through all the lifts.

So really my ego is under full control now and I am training safely and smartly, it's my goal to get stronger, not to thrash my body and to that means I am definitely succeeding.

Workout #34 8-14-07

Weight: 203lbs, okay I think I might be adding to much fat so I'm going to cut my calories back a little, definitely am still going to keep gaining weight though just hopefully not as much fat.

Squats: 45x8, 135x5, 155x5, 155x3, 160x2, 165x2: Kept my form good and hit proper depth every rep.

Overhead Press: 45x8, 85x5, 85x4, 75x3, Some off my reps were kinda slow, but I'm definitely getting stronger in these so whatever I'm doing is working.

Barbell Rows: 135x3x5, these actually took quite a bit of effort.

Another good workout in my quest to become strong.

Workout #35 8-16-07

Well today was good, quite intense and I did everything good so I would say I was successful.

Weight: 197lbs, I cut some of the excess food calories out of my diet so most of that is food weight I lost I think, but wow -6lbs from last time.

Squat: 45x5, 115x5, 155x5, (165x3, 160x2), (160x3,155x2), did the lifts in () in very close succession.

Bench: 45x5, 115x5, 140x5, 140x4.

Deadlift: 135x5, 155x5, 165x5, Deadlifting 165 for 5 reps was kinda tough but I nailed it so I'm happy.

Workout #36 8-18-07

Weight: 198lbs

Squat: Bwx10x2, 45x10, 135x5, 145x5x2, 145x4, 140x5, 135x5, I want to try and build some endurance to my squat reps so I tried doing more sets and lowering the weight, did all of them with good form.

Military Press: 45x5, 85x5, (85x3, 75x2), 75x5.

Pendley Rows: 135x5x4, just building up endurance on this excercise as well.

Accessory Work:

Needsize Situps: 15lbx, 8x3.
Hanging Leg raises: 10x3
Curls: 35lb dumbells x 5 (just wanted to see what I could do with these)
Lat Pulldown: 110lbx10x2 (just messing around with these)

So today I pretty much was just building endurance in all my lifts, I think I will start doing ab work more regularly since I think it would benefit me.

This week I'm going to only work out twice, first workout on Tuesday and second on Friday. I had to change my workout schedule due to a job conflict but it definitely won't hurt me, probably the extra recovery time this week will help me.

I will of course be back with 3 workouts next week with a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule. Although I'm going to start Squatting light in the middle workout day now, probably at or around 65-80% of my previous workout, should allow me to recover faster while still getting the excercise benefits, anyways thats just whats going on with me right now.

Workout #37 8-22-07

I can't believe how tired I was today, most of my muscles were/are still sore so I had to take it light, but on the upside my form was excellent. Just been sluggish all week, probably since I had to work this weekend.

But anyways I must push forward, my body is going through massive shock right now and if that doesn't make me stronger nothing will.

Weight: 198lbs

Squats: BWx5x2, 45x5x3, 135x4x3, 135x5.

Bench: 115x5x2, 135x5

Deadlift: 135x5.

Well today I was planning on working out but since it's my 13th week and my muscles still aren't completely recovered I'm going to wait until Monday to resume my training, I'm pretty sure working out right now would do more harm then good anyways.

I feel pretty good today, but am still mildly sore, I really want to be at 100% when I return to the gym so I'm going to wait until Wednesday to workout.

This waiting crap sucks, but I would rather wait another 2 days to workout then go though the past 5 days again.

I'm pretty sure I will only go on 6-8 week workout periods until one week of rest, will see how that works for me.

Again I feel pretty good today but yesterday was miserable so for some added time to recover I'm waiting 'till Wednesday.
