I have yet to find a good way to keep a log of my workouts but I think this will work well so here goes. This isn’t going to be organized, just a place for me to get down my thoughts. I’ve been training for almost a year and a half. I am 18 now, started off at 130lbs. I’m up to 158. Going for 170 before the new year. (Havent gained any real mass in the last few months.)
Right now Im doing a body part split. Im going on a week vacation in mid december so I’ll be doing the super-accumulation program for 2 weeks prior, then just sit back and eat all the free food I can handle.
Anyway, today I did chest.
Started off with some bench presses. Wasn’t feeling them today, don’t think I warmed up enough (the last set was the best of them all)
165lbs 6X4X6
It was down from last week but I did improve my ROM, going all the way down instead of stopping a couple inches above.
Pullovers 65 12X12X10 Just missed my last 2 reps, a bit longer rest and I would of had it.
Flat DB Press 65 5X5X5 Weak wrists holding these back. (Any ideas?)
Started taking Surge and BCAA’s today. Tastes fucking delicious. We’ll see how it goes.
Thinking an arm day tommorrow, I havent done any direct work on them for a long time.
Also working on correcting anterior pelvic tilt and my lovely hunchback right now. So far so good.
My lower back isn’t 100% yet so I stuck with BW squats again for the 2nd time.
Did 500 in 30min, 10min less than last week.
I think by next week I’ll be ready for some real squats. Or I might stick with these for a couple more weeks. Kind of an experiment to see how it affects my heavy squats.
The one on my arm is “Namaste”, which represents the pure energy, love and empathy, that is a part of every person. Most of the time it’s hidden beneath a whole bunch of shit, but it’s there if you look for it. I experienced this one mushroom trip, probably the best one i’ve ever had. The same one that instilled in me the belief, beyond any doubt, that we really can do/be anything we want if we work hard enough.
The one on my ribs came after. Its an anogram, which means it’s two words in one.
If you read it one way it says my last name. The other way it says “Imperium” , which basically means absolute power. I got this when I was going through some really rough times to help me make it through. To me it was part of getting back control of my life.
Anyways, back to my training.
Today was good…
Front Squat - 135lbs 5X6 (used the clean grip instead of crossed arms, hence the drop in weight, all my wrists could take)
Hamstring curls - BW 5X4 (small improvement, still used hands a bit)
DB Bench - 70lbs 5X6
Weighted pull-ups - 20lbs 5X8 (missed one rep)
I hope I can make improvements for a few more days before I start to lose strength from overtraining.
I took a bit of time off on the weekend because I was supposed to go snowboarding and I wanted legs for that so I skipped Friday, only hit chest and back Saturday and skipped Sunday.
I still have a week left before I leave so I’ll try to fit in 2 workouts every day to make up for it. Today I only had time for one though so it looked like this.
Front Squat - 150lbs 5X6
Hammy curls - 30 reps in 7min (found this way better) with BW, going to add weight next time.
DB Press - 80lbs (hard) sets were something like this
0X3X4X5X5X5,
should of warmed up.
My left arm was weaker only got 3 reps.
