Squat Day

Overall Impression:
spring break is next week....im spending first 5 days with my gf here in san antonio so ill be working out but then im in Dallas for the rest of the time so y'all wont see any updates till i come back.
The Workout:
Squats
- 255 lbs x 2 reps x 4 sets @ 3 minute rest intervals
- 185 lbs x 12 reps @ 4 minute break after last 245 set
255 felt like i ton on my back wtf...and 185 was tough too. good thing is that im using a slightly wider stance and im focussing on my "hips" a lot. but it was weird. why was 255 so damn difficult? http://forum.bodybuilding.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

135 lbs x 10 reps x 1 set

Bench Press Day
Cycle 10


Overall Impression:
spring break begins as of tomorrow (today was last day of classes)!!! on a side note: i hate bench press workouts
The Workout:
Bench Press
- 185 lbs x 2 reps
I'm doing this exercise after over a month. it felt so weird and strange to me....it wasnt too good on my shoulders either. its ok though. im gonna be doing bench presses for sets of 10 (probably 2x10) from next time. i just want to do this lift so as not to forget how to do it. if it were up to me id just do away with this...

Pull-ups
- 5 reps x 5 sets = 25 reps @ 2 minute Rest Intervals
this was pretty hard. next time im going to do 5 sets of 3 reps with some weight. i just want to see how this goes. its not possible to constantly improve on pull-ups so im not too die-hard about this. as long as i dont become too weak on these its ok. but i reckon my pull-ups are suffering a bit because of the shitty diet ive had today....ive barely eaten any food today.

Seated Unilateral Dumbbell Shoulder Press and Hammer Grip Pull-ups Superset
- 55 lbs x 5 reps x 2 sets and 6 reps x 2 sets respectively @ 2 minute rest intervals
i think the bench press messed me up on my uni presses. its ok. next time ill take 50 and do 10 reps and set a new PR.

Dips and Bent Arm Pull-overs Superset
- 6 reps x 3 sets and 45 lbs x 7 reps x 3 sets respectively
i hope my triceps get huge soon. haha

Ab Work
- Circuit Training 2 Circuits
3 exercises: Hanging Leg Raises 10 reps, Overhead Plate Side Bends 10 lbs x 10 reps and Front Plate Squats 25 lbs x 6 reps

Shoulder Prehab Work
- Dip Shrugs

i find it hard to progress to pullups too man...i quit using weight for the most part....just doing body weight...it seems to be a lot more fun....but i've been doing 3 x 10 on bodyweight for like...ages...and it never seems to go up. ever.

have a nice spring break.

Deadlift Day
Cycle 11


Overall Impression:
felt kinda good today. workout was pretty good IMO. got everything that needed to be done, done.

on an off topic: i saw "never back down" on friday. kinda stupid movie but sort of entertaining. i saw "doomsday" yesterday. yuck. what a shitty shitty movie.
The Workout:
Deadlifts
- free hand squats and side lunges x 8 reps each
- 135 lbs x 2 reps
- 185 lbs x 2 reps
- 225 lbs x 1 rep
- 275 lbs x 1 rep
- 315 lbs x 1 rep x 5 sets
- 185 lbs x 11 reps
felt pretty good. my problem with 315 is that i cant clear it with an over-over grip. my new goal is to be able to do this with an over-over grip. i did not used straps on the first 2 sets. sets 3+ i used wrist straps. APT all the way :)

Bulgarian Squats
- 50 lbs x 7 reps x 2 sets

Hyperextensions
- BW x 8 reps x 2 sets
- Static Hold for 1 minute
the static hold was painful as i tried my very best to squeeze my glutes.

Ab Work
- Superset of Hanging Leg Raises and Overhead Plate Sidebends for 10 reps x 2 sets and 10 lbs x 10 reps x 2 sets respectively

Grip Work
- Dumbbell Static Holds w/ 70 lbs for 45 seconds x 2 sets
