Not the greatest. Looked better 6 months ago after really hitting it. Just have ‘maintained’ over past 6 months. Really planning on going all out for next 16 weeks.
Changing diet back to good plan and focused on seeing results
Good luck man. I made it until the last two weeks before my thumb got injured, never did get my final official maxes. Bench went up at least 25 lbs, Squat easily 40.
Keep it honest with the deadlifts and they’ll skyrocket.
Thanks. Looking forward to the program At 33 years ya gota keep it honest
Only started lifting again last Nov so still seen huge gains since then. Had I not laid off the workouts a bunch after may my #'s would be higher but oh well, life goes on.
Had to get a feel for the box squats and meeting the # of sets & reps. The Deadlift speed ones were interesting. I’m going to have to record my form as I think it sucks. Otherwise good workout and looking forward to tomorrow. May go jogging/swimming today, if work permits, later.
Good workout. Hand’t gone ‘heavy’ reps in a bit. Wish I had a spotter and would have gone a little heavier on the first few sets on the bench.
Incline I had to find a good weight. Think i"ll do 50-55 on next weeks. The rowing machine I had to add a 45lb plate to it as its max is 150 and not much of an issue.
The Prone Trap raises and side lying raises were tuffer than I thought. 10lbs sure seemed ‘ruff’ by the end of it
Decent workout. Hardest thing I think this week was learning good weights to start for some of the new lifts.
I also realize that my deadlift is my weakest link and that kills me. Trying to make sure my form is good is my first goal. Really going to try and remember to bring my camera on monday and snap a video of it. My back gets really sore after Day 1 & 3.
Rest of body feels fine. Going to try and add running next week to each day also.
Glad its monday and back in the gym. Didn’t workout this morning as I’ve been bow hunting so no running today (going hunting again tonight) gettin some walking in tho.
Squats felt good and deadlifts felt way better. Lunges are a great finisher… need to work on grip strength as last set gets hard to hold for both sides of 8.
Did crunches and bridges with no rest between sets or reps while swaping between the two… last one was brutal.
Squats felt smooth, should have added more weight.
The Deadlifts are seeming easier, hope that means form/back is getting better/stronger.
Single legged squats are something fun to change it up. Gota say you feel them a little in different spots vs normal squats and keeping balance is fun too.
Seated Cable Rows
195x3x10 (Broke machine on 4th set so didn’t finish)
Prone Trap Raises
3x10x12
Side Lying Raises
3x10x12
Good and bad workout in some ways. Sat in my deer stand 13 hours yesterday (Nothin out there but a non-legal 4point… dang 8pointer didn’t show, no does either) trying to finish up bow hunting before all the gun boys come.
Didn’t feel ‘strong’ as back was a little sore. Bench went fine but was hoping to use 235 but didn’t feel up to it after first 225 rep.
Really kicked it up with Dbell incline, then broke the pully when the 45lb plate I attach to the machine for added weight fell off.
Did I mention I forgot my workout clothes at home today? One of those days
Yeah was sad/funny. Our machine only goes up to 150 at the gym i use during lunch. So I get another pin and pin a 45lb onto to top.
I forgot to ‘recheck’ the pin on my last set as I usually do to make sure it hasn’t slid some, and well… pin popped out on row #2, 45lb plate came down and busted the pully @ bottom. Pully doesn’t do anything but transition cable for top/bottom position of the attachment height but isn’t usuable now from any position but the bottom one…
I told the lady @ the gym I’ll tear up my request I guess for the power cage…
Week got ruff with Tuesday getting me out of wack workout wise. So had to combine day 3 and 4 with some changes.
No front squat as no way really to do them outside of dbell’s.
Didn’t get a few of the core exercises done during lunch. Will have to do them tonight.
RUFF RUFF workout as I had alot of volume and really pushed it hard. Sweatin like a pig (probably smell like one too) and really felt I pushed it well considering the time constraints.
