I have to agree. you need balance. I have had, and still do sometimes, back problems and my physical therapist told me even if you do back work you must do ab work so you are not lopsided. it helps keep the spine in proper alignment and gives you good posture and will aid in heavier deadlifts and squats along the way. in your lifts you are only as strong as your weakest muscle.

Day One Chest/Back
170lbs
A1-Bench Press 185 175
A2-Flat Dumbbell Flyes 25 25
B1-Incline Bench 115 135
B2-Incline Flyes 25 25
C1-Lat Pulldown 175 150
C2-DB Pullovers 75 80

D2-Seated Cable Row 125 125

I've got a friggin cold

. I was able to go to the gym and do the workout, but energy levels were an issue. I did manage to increase incline bench though :eek: . I was thinking about skipping this workout today, but I went and gave it my all and came pretty close to my usual numbers. Hopefully I can get rid of this cold enough to do a solid arm workout on sunday.

172 lbs

B2-Hammer Curls 25 25
C1-Weighted Dips BW BW+45
C2-Triceps Extensions (DB) 70 70
D1-Cable Pressdowns 190 190
D2-Reverse Curls 100 100

I still have a cold, but I went anyway. Workout was pretty good, again energy was up and down. Took the same shakes as last workout.

Cold is gone, I should be at full strength for tomorrow's workout. :eek: On a more interesting note, I seem to have forgotten to add the weight of the EZ-Bar to all the exercises I use it for :(

lol, I'm not gonna do that, I'm just going to add the weight from now on and fix my personal spreadsheet

EricT · 01-31-2006, 11:00 AM

I never put in the weight of the bar. It's always the same and so factors out. Only progress matters.

Kane · 01-31-2006, 06:27 PM

Day Five Shoulders/Traps
173lbs
A1-Barbell Press 115
A2-Wide Grip Upright Rows (EZ Bar) 95
B1-Machine Press 150
B2-Side Laterals 15
C1-Bent Over Laterals 35
C2-Machine Rear Delts 150
D1-Power Shrugs 315
D2-Close Grip Upright Rows (EZ Bar) 95

Maxed out on A1,B1,A2 and D2, couldn't even add 5 more lbs and do a set. Had to drop the weight on power shrugs because I was pushing myself too much/sacrificing form and I was getting a muscle burn in my left trap. The exercises using the EZ-Bar have 25lbs added to whatever plates I put on. I agree that progress is all that matters, but I've used the 'pre-made' barbells and they are stamped with their exact weight, so I just want to maintain consistency.

_Wolf_ · 02-01-2006, 08:56 AM

btw... even i've started ovt... as of today that is...

and your right... its DAMN tiring.... but i LOVE it...!!!

lets see how long i can stick to this one....!!

on a more serious note: OVT is a GREAT program and although i've only had Day 1, i've been following Kane's journal very closely so i expect some of the similar results....

all the best kane...!

I'd suggest starting on page 5 of my journal, I restarted the program because I couldn't focus on it til after the new year.

If you're following my journal...then you should know that I kept the weight constant for the entire 5x5 on each exercise. I picked a weight I could handle for 5 reps and stuck with it. Multiple numbers for one exercise are for a comparison of progress...for example A1 Bench 135 165 185....week 1-135lbs, week 2-165, week 3-185. I did this because one of the most important aspects, I think anyway, is to increase the weight on a 'per week' basis, and I thought multiple week comparisons would be the easiest way to view progress.
