Cable Lateral Raise- 30x2x12

I was really happy with how this workout went because I wasn’t rushed and I was able to improve my performance on every exercise compared to last week, by either increasing the weight or the number of repetitions per set.

2/9/17 BW: 173.6
Deadlift- 285x3x3
Leg Curl- 167x2x12
Bench- 195x5x8
Cable Fly- 46x2x12,10
Cable Curl- 130x5x10
Calves- 90x7x12

I was able to improve on my performance from last week on every exercise in this workout, by either increasing the amount of weight or the number of reps per set. I worked out with a partner again this workout, so that made things more enjoyable. The gym was pretty busy today so we had to wait a pretty long time to use some of the equipment, but we still managed to complete the workout in under an hour and a half.

2/11/17 BW: 172.4
High Bar Squat- 235x5x5
Lat Pulldown- 160x5x10
Cable Row- 190x2x12
Upright Rows- 90x2x10
Face Pull- 100x3x12
OH Tricep Extension- 90x5x12

I did this workout at about 4pm and had only eaten one small meal beforehand. Despite eating less than I usually do, I still managed to improve my performance on every exercise compared to last week.

2/12/17 BW: 173.8
RDL (Smith)- 185x3x10
Leg Curl- 183x2x10
Incline Bench- 165x5x8,8,8,8,10
Cable Fly- 46x2x10
Cable Curl- 130x3x11
Cable Hammer Curl- 130x1x10
Cable Reverse Curl- 100x1x10
Calves- 100x7x10

I was only able to complete the incline bench press and the seated calf raises before the gym closed, so I completed the rest of the workout at the small gym in my apartment complex. The only major difference was that I had to do the Romanian deadlifts on a smith machine rather than with a free weight barbell.

Will do man! Those are good goals. In two short years you’ll have much more freedom as a college student. With that kind of GPA, all you need is a good SAT score and you can go anywhere you want.

OHP- 105x4x10
Cable Lateral Raise- 30x2x13
Cable Pushdown- 70x5x8

This was my first workout back in the gym after doing a week of home workouts. I was happy to see that my strength didn’t regress, and that I was able to progress or maintain my performance from 2 weeks ago. I didn’t do the 5th set of leg presses because there was someone waiting to use the machine and I was a little short on time.

I was able to increase my performance compared to the the last time that I did this workout on most exercises. I got tons of sleep before this workout (~10 hours). The gym closed before I had a chance to do the curls, so I did them the following day at my apartment complex gym.
