Gender: | Day Six (did workout yesterday but my internet was f'ed so I'm posting today) 171lbs A1-A2G Front Squat 135 A2-DB Lunges 50 B1-Machine Squat 470 B2-Leg curls 100 C1-Deadlifts 245 C2-Calves 125 As usual, leg day was intense. I know that my numbers for squats are stagnant, but 1)I'm still coming off an injury and 2)I'm not too worried about leg growth since they haven't been worked in a while, so they should respond to almost anything. For the last set of deads I actually did 295lbs :eek: ...a guy I know came up to me and said, "is that all you lift" (in an assholish tone), so I asked him what he could do and he said way more...so he did 275! (and struggled), omfg, he sure crushed me...so I decided, fuck it, and now he is my bitch for life. PROGRESS UPDATE!!! -I pulled out my records and took a peek at my old measurements...(as of June 2005) Weight-168lbs Chest-39" Arms-14" Waist-33" -As of today Weight-174lbs Chest-42" Arms-17" Waist-33" Main thing I'd like to bring up is that my measurements were pretty much the same as of October 2005... Conclusion: OVT is working really well! |

Gender: | Day One Chest/Back 175 lbs :eek: A1-Bench Press 195 A2-Flat Dumbbell Flyes 30 B1-Incline Bench 140 B2-Incline Flyes 30 C1-Lat Pulldown 175 C2-DB Pullovers 80 D1-Barbell Rows 155 D2-Seated Cable Row 125 Very happy with my flat bench, I actually put up 200lbs for 1x5 :eek: . I'm feeling really strong with these exercises. I'm especially happy with my bodyweight. On an empty stomach, I was at the 175 mark for the last 2 days...so I'm guessing this weight is going to stick around now Due to school and what not, I'm going to have to do arm day tomorrow instead of taking the day off. I'm just about at the half way mark of OVT...if I'm seeing these kinds of results at half-way...I can't fuckin wait to see what I'm like at the end! |

Gender: | Day Three Bi's/Tri's 175lbs (again!) A1-Barbell Curls (EZ-Bar) 100 A2-Dumbbell Curls 25 B1-Preacher Curls (EZ Bar) 80 B2-Hammer Curls 25 C1-Weighted Dips BW+45 C2-Triceps Extensions (DB) 70 D1-Cable Pressdowns 200 D2-Reverse Curls 140 Last workout I maxed out the machine for cable pressdowns, but since I'm switching my routine around next week, I decided to wait til next week to change it. Bodyweight is holding strong at 175! I just about made BW+55 for dips, but I was one set short, I couldn't do it for set 5 . Barbell Curl and Preachers Curl are up from last week...but I was getting a shooting pain along my forearms. I've had this before, but it's been a long time since it happened last  |

I consulted a sports medicine physician a while back and this is what he told me: "The pain is partially due to stress on the ulna from weak forearms or poor form. It is NOT a tendonitis. Straight bar will cause this much more than EZ curl bar. The "cure" is first to back off and work on your forearms, avoid straight bars for a while, and gradually begin lifting heavy again. Wrapping will mask the problem. This is why using an EZ bar (less supination) or strengthening the forearms will help." | |
