Fall '07 - Upper 2, Week 20
Overall Impression:
another miserable fucking week full of exams and assignments lol....but my diet has been pretty good. i got in 7 oz of salmon today 
that made my day lol...
Military Press = 5 sets x 7 reps x 120 lbs w/ 90s Rest Intervals
this was fucking awesome. since i had done 2x8,2x7 and 1x6 last week (36 reps) i did 5x7 (35 reps) this time and i reduced the rest intervals. i wish i had taken a video. form is great throughout but on the last set reps 5, 6 and 7 were very very difficult. i need to figure out how im going to progress next time now. i remember going over this with Eric via pm's a while ago and i hope i havent gone and cleared my inbox!!!
Pull-ups = 5 sets x 4 reps
new PR for this gym lol...im glad im finally progressing a little bit on this. last time i knocked out 17 reps total. even these 3 reps are a lot.
Flat Dumbbell Paused Press = 3 sets x 12 reps x 55 lbs
last week i had done 3x10x55. so that means i added 2 reps to every set. im happy with this progression. next time i plan on doing unilateral presses and i hope to nail 3x12 with 45 lbs.
Overhead Shrugs = 1 set x 12 reps x 85 lbs
Eric has been asking me to pyramid the weights on this for a long tim and i keep forgetting. so i did 3 sets of 12 reps pyramiding the weights. set 1 was 12xbar, set 2 was 12x65 lbs and set 3 (the actual work set) was 12x85.
Tricep Rope Pushdowns = 1 set x 6 reps x 82.5 lbs
ok this was gay....lol.....my friends were trying to nail this and i decided to just see if i could do this and i did 6 easy...since i dont like to do arm work i just stopped and did some fascia stretches for chest and back and walked off...
Leaving Thoughts:
my body is shaping up pretty good. teh abzz are becoming tight. i need to shed a lot of body fat though.
u know, ive heard that when people lose bodyfat they first lose it from their thighs then their chest, then shoulders, then arms and last from the waist. im very scared this might happen to me but i dont think it is. my waist hasnt reduced in size at all but i do know i look a lot leaner.
ill try and get some vids of my next upper body session...
i hope everyone is having a good week. its going to be thursday tomorrow which means friday is close
have a good one everyone and thanks for reading
