The Beast's Training Journal!

Thanks much, guys. I'm about speechless--a first--at the good wishes!

5.5/side on the Wide is awesome, Tweakle. Wow. You've got me very soundly whipped there...I'm not sure ours will even HOLD 5 45s and a 25 per side! At 5, ours is pretty much maxed out--and so was I, for that matter, at that weight when I was all healthy, LOL.

So that's Brian Buchanan?! Darn. I didn't recognize him, and I've long admired his physique (D'oH!). That tiny waist, those freaky arms...he's never really gotten the recognition he deserves in any pro organization. Some said his wheels weren't up to his upper body, but they still looked damn good to me...

1-15-04 Thursday Chest, Lower back, Abs

So much for getting my strength back so soon. haha Today was a fucked up workout. I didnt even write down the sets and reps, cuz it just pissed me the fuck off. I started with 135 on flat bench for 20 as a warm-up. Then 225 for 12 and was already feeling pain in my upper back, right side. So I went to the HS Wide Chest Machine. Did about 6 sets on there...Something like this:

(Plate=45lbs)

2 plates for 20
4 plates for 15
2 and a quarter per side for 15
6 plates for 12
8 plates for 7 (4 plates per side)
2 and a quarter per side for 17 and a negative at the end

Then I finished off with 4-6 sets of cable flies and a set of 30 push-ups. On cable flies I went up to 130 per side at the highest for maybe 6 reps by that point. Then:

Weightless hyper extentions 2 sets of 15

Weighted kneeling ab crunches with rope attachment 4 sets of 190lbs for 15 reps

Thats it. Shitty workout. Just when I thought I was healing up. 225 even felt heavy. F U C K

1-16-04 Friday Triceps,Biceps,Lower back and Abs

For arm days its real difficult to record sets since Im all over the place. But I did remember the key sets and have a good estimate on the amount of sets I did. I started out with triceps (since thats my weak point) and did 5-7 sets of rope pulldowns on the cable apparatus. Reps were mostly between 12 and 15. Though I believe I ended with 190 for 8 reps. Then the V-bar attachment. I cant remember the exact number of sets there. Over 4. Then 3 sets of skull crushers on an incline bench. Going up to 120 for maybe 8 reps. Before that 90 for 12-15 reps and 110 for maybe 12 reps. Then went back for a finishing set of V-bar pulldowns with 130-140lbs for maybe 12 reps. Between 12-15 sets for triceps. Then for biceps I did atleast 12 sets, possibly more. The exercises I did were standing dumbell curls, seated dumbell curls, standing EZ curl bar curls , preacher curls, standing cable curls (double bicep style). The highlights of that workout were seated preacher curls with EZ curl bar with:

Preacher curls (freeweight):

140lbs for 16 reps
160lbs for 10 reps
160lbs for 10 reps (11 counting the assisted rep, which I usually dont bother memorizing.)

I also did a standing set with 160 for 5-6 reps only near the end. All my sets heavy and til failure.

Then to finish off I did Kneeling cable crunches for abs with 190lbs for 4 sets of 15 reps

Weightless hyper extentions for Lower back 2 sets of 15.

Weighed a light 186 also. I was fucking depressed yesterday so I had a drink after the gym and didnt eat, just went to sleep. So it was a bad eating day. One meal. The main reason my weight fluctuates, inconsistent eating habits and fucked up nerves. haha I may try doing legs tommorrow. Its been a long time since Ive given them thier own day. I will probabally train them differently this time around. No more 800lb leg presses for 52 reps. I vomitted after each workout (or dry heaved) but for what? So Ill try some different things.
