And shit, I need to start doing a total body warmup every day before I start lifting. My lower back was pretty sore even from that small amount of weight.

You're the man. I was going to send you a PM asking for this tonight. Can you tell me the winning lottery number for next week?

Pitysister · 06-24-2008, 07:21 PM

if it's for the state lottery...you'll have to tell me what state you're in

Ross86 · 06-24-2008, 07:31 PM

NC

If I win, I'll give you a good portion of the winnings. Pick 6 two digit numbers. I'll let you know how it goes.

Squats - A LOT of form work w/ 225, 2X3 275
Leg press - 3X3 400
Leg curls - 3X8 110

Hung over workout. Made 100 on one exam and made a good grade in the class. Made a D- in the other class, which I'm perfectly content with. All I needed to do was pass it and that's all I did.

Hooray summer. Hooray no school work for...well, I have to get started on left over school work Monday. Doesn't look like I'll have a summer break. Such is life.

MONSTAFACE · 06-26-2008, 08:48 PM

yeah i hated not havin a break. i went to school for the last 2 years of college staright. summer school and all. i was tryign to get out fast as possible though. dont worry it will be over soon enough

Ross86 · 06-27-2008, 09:45 AM

Flat bench press - 175
Incline DB press - 55
Dips - 3X8 BW
OH tri ext/press combo - 3X8 55

Easy workout. Next workout, up 5 lbs on everything but dips & up 10 in dips.

Ross86 · 06-30-2008, 10:40 AM

P rows - 115
DB rows - 55
Lat pulls - 110
Straight bar curls - 55
Hammer strength rows - 140

I had a good talk with the guy that's training me today and I had sort of missed the direction that the workout he planned was pointed in. 3 sets to near failure of each exercise while progressing 5lbs each workout. Rep range is 8-15. Rest time is 1-2 minutes. I'm not conditioned to this, so it kicked my ass today.

Ross86 · 07-01-2008, 08:38 AM

Squats - 3X10 225
Leg press - DS 20, 15, 10 @ 200
Leg curls - 3X8 100
Close stance squats - 3X10 135

Wow oh wow...longest break between sets during an exercise was 90 seconds. The energy level required for this workout has me feeling like I've regressed an entire year. First time I've done squats with a very close stance. I was sooo tight at that point in the workout that I could barely come close to parallel. I'm going to go ahead with tomorrow's workout and then I'm taking a day or two off.
