Excellent

Lifts should go up for all as you get used to our form

Diet yesterday was back on track. Weekend diet sucked, drinking, food, but fun. I did honestly try not to go overboard and keep from stuffing myself or drinking too much.

Here's my workout numbers from Friday

DB Press
55pd DBs, 8 reps, will move up

Cable Fly
25 pds each arm, 8 reps, will move up

Military Press
80 pds on bar, 8 reps, will move up

Tricep Press
60 pds, 8 reps, will move up

8 seemed to be my luck number that day. Most other weights moved up so I call it a good day.

Monday Legs:

Leg Presses
380 pds on sled, 11 reps, will move up

Squats:
150 on bar, 9 reps, will move up

Calf Press
100 pds, 8 reps, will move up

Nice to be light headed again.

Today, Back

One arm rows
90 each side, 15 reps, a lot more weight

Shrugs
70 pd DBs, 8 reps, more weight

BB Curls
40 on bar, 5 reps, will leave the same

Moved up the weight on all of the sets for the curls, I think it wore me out quicker.

I did skip Thursday's leg workout due to Thanksgiving and not being able to workout this weekend because of (insert dumb excuse). Hopefully it won't be too bad.

Hi your doign good


try upping the power on these lifts:

1) Incline DB Presses ( goal 65's)

2) Barbell Curls( Goal 65)

your doing well on all the others

 

[whitedragon]

Is that regardless of rep range just use that weight?

Also, for the curls is that 65 on the bar or including the bar?

 

[OMEGA]

65 including Bar

try to work up to 7-9 reps by the 4th set.

Sweet, so I'm there on curls since the bar weighs 22 pounds.

Weird day today. Hit the gym, I felt weak, but when I look at my last time I did either more weight, or more reps with the same weight.

Chest/Tri/Shoulder

DB Inc
65 pd DBs, 5 reps, not as good as I had hoped

Cable Flys
30 pds each side, 5 reps, same as above

Shoulder Press
90 on bar, 9 reps, This made me feel better

Tricep Press
70, 4 reps, I believe I fatigued myself too much in the earlier sets.

Diet is good. No cheats.

Leg day. It was going good actually felt strong on the leg press, and then in the third set of squats .... BAM, hit a freaking wall and everything went down hill

Here were my weights:

Leg Press
400 on sled, 10 reps, will be moving up the weight

Squats
160 on bar, 5 reps, just died on the set before

Calves
110, 5 reps, set before was really good. I'll do better next time

Diet was good, I cheated a little bit last night and had 3/4 of a protein bar.

I think I'm starting to see good results which is nice, people are starting to notice

I really, really hope by the end I get "Are you on steroids?"

 

[Self-Inflicted]

Ha, I just started noticing the results and I'm digging it. Can't wait to see what happens in the next phase.

Sweet, so I'm there on curls since the bar weighs 22 pounds.

cool

there just comes a point where certain exercises lose there effect if you go TOO heavy

Barbell Curls are one of them.
The reason being is that The bicep "fires" during a ellipse or slight Ark while you curl.
And it seems to be more effective at a weight that is not too heavy and not too light.

I could curls a 120 pound Barbell but Prefer using 70
