11-22-04 Monday Biceps, Lower Back and Abs
Biceps were still REAL sore today. But I said fuck it. I went to the gym to train biceps, so I tore that shit up regardless. They were cramping up good after the routine. Theyre not that sore as I write this, 2am wednesday. Still quite sore though. I used to be able to tear the shit out of my biceps with negatives and other techniques and they hardly ever got sore at all. I even moved furniture ontop of that. Might be the extra weight Im moving now, but I can definately get them sore these days. I didnt get too loose with the form today since my lower back was feeling some bad pain (beyond muscle soreness) before I even entered the gym. Heres the routine:
Biceps:
Alternating Dumbbell Curls:
35x15
Standing EZ Curl Bar Curls:
100x15
120x15
140x15
160x13
180x6
Alternating Dumbbell Curls:
60x8
Standing EZ Curl Bar Curls:
140x11
Alternating Dumbbell Hammer Curls:
45x15
65x13
80x12
105x5
Double Bicep Style Cable Curls:
70 (per side)x15
80x15
90x15
100x11
(16 sets)
Lower Back:
Hyper Extentions:
15
15

Abs:
Kneeling Rope Crunches:
190x15
190x30
190x30

11-23-04 Tuesday Legs and Calves
Still rehabbing my lower back. The leg extentions still seemed to put some pressure on my lower back, but probabally not as bad as the heavy leg presses. I just did high reps with the leg extentions as my main sets for quads and some leg curls for hamstrings. Heres the routine:
Quads:
Leg Extentions:
85x15
105x15
165x15 (warm-ups)
190x50 (Last 3 sets were done with a few brief rest pauses)
200x50
250x30 (all likely PR's since I dont usually train with high reps on extentions)
Hamstrings:
Leg Curls:
90x15
110x15
130x15
130x15
130x15
150x15
Calves:
Seated Calve Raises:
90x20
115x20
115x20
115x20
115x20
115x20

11-27-04 Friday Chest
Once again the holidays fucked up my training schedule. Ended up training a day later, and had to rush since there was only a few hours to train, and my partner was late. The biggest obstacle today was shoulder joint pain which slowed down my pressing considerably and cut out the explosiveness. Ive been training through many types of pain lately, and I think Ill finally start taking more rest, before I have to take a few months off for tearing something. Still feeling a pinched nerve (I think) in my back with pain shooting into my legs. Benching worsens that, as well as back work. My shoulders should be all healed up by next thursday when I bench again, aslong as I rest them. So, the plan for this week is to hit my arms only, and then bench again on thursday. Ill skip back,upper chest,legs and shoulder work this week most likely. ALSO, Ive moved up to 2 M1T pills per day starting today, so that should help me come in heavier and stronger, as well as better rested when I get back. My eating was also off this week. 380 was my best lift of the day, and due to the shoulders, lockout was slow. I plan to be well rested, and focus on eating this week. Should be much stronger next week. Heres the routine:
(196lbs at arrival to the gym, 199 1/2lbs at the end of workout after water)
("Speed Stack", Snickers Marathon Bar)
Flat Bench Press:
135x16
225x12
275x5
315x1
335x2
380x1
400 (fail)
400 (fail)
400 (fail)
315x5
275x14.5
225x26.75 (just short of lockout on last rep)
Routine cut short. Time to rest!!

Beast...do you feel numbness and tingling in your legs as well?
Does it hurt to sit down for long periods of time or walk?
I hope not but you could have a herniated or buldging disc.
