Fall '07 - Upper 2, Week 22

Overall Impression:

so fall break is finally here!!!

went for a frat party last night - superhero/superho dressed up like Master Windu ;)

anyways, i slept in till like 12:30 pm today and i just got back from the gym...it was a good workout. new PR on militaries. i made this workout short because of my lower back pain. i dont want to push things. and my back is improving but very little at a time.

diet has been great off late....except on wednesday...i didnt feel like eating anything. wierd.

Military Press = 3 sets x 5 reps x 130 lbs, 1 set x 10 reps x 95 lbs

yup: new PR!!! 130 felt ok. i wore a belt because i was afraid i might fuck my back up. i didnt fuck it up though. i have a vid of set 2. will post in 1-2 days. next week ill be nailing 3x6x130. atleast thats the plan.

Pull-ups = 6 sets x 4 reps

new PR here too. i did not go to failure. the 4th rep on every set was 1 rep short of failure which means that if i had attempted a 5th rep i would have failed.

Leaving Thoughts:

im all ready for the weekend now....i plan on relaxing and having some fun... just got done with 5 tests in 4 days so i defintiely wont be studying lol....

regarding my progress: i think im doing pretty ok. im not as dedicated to the gym anymore but i am aware of that and i am purposely not that dedicated - in the sense that i am conscious of me not being dedicated but im not doing anything to get determined again. im just letting myself go for now....which is why im not going to complain about everything. the way i see it, im no longer obsessed about my progress, but at the same time i am eating healthy food and i am also sticking to my rough plan on progression on my upper body lifts. until my lower back heals there is very little else i can do.

i hope everyone is having a good friday. thanks for reading guys and i hope y'all have a good weekend

Hello Anuj

I was checking some of your other vids on youtube the other day and didnt even realise it was you!!

Nice to put a face to a name!

Congrats on the PR to mate

thanks sir

yeah i keep putting up vids everytime i do some nice PR work but off late thanks to the back injury i havent been able to do that lol.....when my lower back heals i will be putting up a LOT more vids and my next vid will be in 1-2 weeks when i nail 135 for 5x7 on militaries. now THAT will be one hell of a vid hahaha

You still should be doing whatever you can lower body wise. Not leg press though, lol. Just focus on what you CAN do and don't sweat what you can't.

I'm not certain by I think you may be a tad bit crooked on the MP's. It looks like your left are is a little out front compared to the right. Like your body is twisted slightly to the right. That could be a compensation for the back maybe. Or it could not even be there since it's hard to be sure on the vid.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

ok sir. ill do that.


umm...maybe sir. ill get a vid next time from a different position next time, sir.

stay with progressive resistance& full range of motion.--always warm up muscles&use a weight that u can handle for full rep movement,for muscle breakdown.

umm...thanks? ^^^

Hmmm...yeah you're defintely crooked on the MP's. See if you can correct that. May be a flexibiltiy issue in the left side, just inadvertant, or a habit.

ok sir. ill try and correct that. i thought i had this problem before but i got rid of it. maybe not. its fine. ill work on it now.
