THOUGHTS:
So I am pumped on antibiotics. I feel like absolute shit. Yet I decided to go in today and do some squats. This is all I did.

Some thoughts regarding my form issues.
1.) I used a relatively lower bar position.
2.) I tried damn hard not to round my lower back. I believe I was very close (if not completely) successful in avoiding the treacherous "butt-wink"
3.) Because of the shitty quality of the video I was doubtful I even hit parallel...added to the fact that my knee sleeves make it near impossible to tell where exactly my knee is....But I am 99.99% sure that I was a shade below parallel here. Which is completely fine with me because my goal is to squat low enough to eliminate lower back rounding.
4.) I have some places I need to work on. I need to slowly get more flexibility and squat lower. No big problem though...come Phase 3 I have an excess of Free Squatting to do. This was just a warm-up to get a rough 1RM.
5.) I am putting my 1RM for free squats @ 325 lbs. Now I know what I should do for my DE work :)
I wish everyone a good week :) Cheers, y'all...

I'd say you're probably closer to 335lbs for a 1RM. If that matters? lol

Awesome Work.

On The Go Workout #1

So the gym here is very limited in weights and equipment. All I have is a bar, some small 10 lbs plates (totalling 95 lbs including the bar), 2 35 lbs dumbbells and a bench. Thats it. Oh...also a pull-up bar, a dip bar and some useless machines which I'm not gonna be using.

So I went in and did a really cool workout..

Superset One:
A1.) Overhead Squats = bar x 2 reps x 15 sets
A2.) Wide Grip Pull-ups = BW x 2 reps x 15 sets
Rest Intervals = 1 minute

Superset Two:
B1.) Bulgarian Split Squats = 35 lbs x 8 reps x 4 sets
B2.) Standing Dumbbell Overhead Presses = 35 lbs x 15 reps x 4 sets
Rest Intervals = 1 minute

Superset Three:
C1.) Front Planks = 30 seconds x 3 sets
C2.) Towel Pull-ups = 3 reps x 3 sets

It was an intense workout and I was drained by the end of it. I am trying very hard to perfect my OH Squat form...I will post some vids of tomorrow's workout..

I hope y'all are having a good week.

Cheers :)

On The Go Workout #2

Today was a very tiring day where I think we walked for a good 5-6 hours...I haven't been eating as much protein as I should be...Oh well..I've been trying to get in protein and carbs and fats all the time.

Superset One:
A1.) Unilateral Romanian Deadlifts = 70 lbs x 5 reps x 8 sets
A2.) Good Mornings = 95 lbs x 5 reps x 8 sets
Rest Intervals = 1 minute

I used the parallel bars (movable) at the gym as racks to support the bar when I did good mornings http://forum.bodybuilding.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Superset Two:
B1.) Parallel Bar Dips = 5 reps x 5 sets
B2.) Chin-ups = 5 reps x 5 sets
B3.) Push-ups = 5 reps x 5 sets
Rest Intervals = 1.5 minutes

My upper body has become so weak....Those parallel bar dips completely killed me...

Superset Three:
C1.) Hanging Leg Raises = 10 lbs x 10 reps x 3 sets
C2.) Overhead Plate Side Bends = 10 lbs x 10 reps x 3 sets

It was a damn tiring workout. I would've taken vids but I'm not doing anything too special so I haven't recorded anything. If anyone has any requests of any lifts I am currently doing, please let me know.

Have a good weekend, everyone! http://forum.bodybuilding.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

when you're done with vacation are you going to pick up where you left off in maximum strength? or...start over....or...quit it altogether? :)

the more important question....are you enjoying your vacation? :)

I am gonna be on Week 1 Phase 3 when I get back. Infact, I plan on working out the day I get back! :) Consider this just a week off or a "deload" lol...

I may have forgotten to mention this...I'm right now in Jerusalem, Israel. I visited Jordan 2 days ago (for ten hours) but I have been here in Jerusalem since Jordan and I will be here for the next 5 days..then I have 1 day in Jordan again and then I fly back to Mumbai.

Jerusalem is awesome. I'm having a great time. I'd mention a lot more about this place and my thoughts, etc but I'm afraid it would turn into a political debate and like Hrdgain once said: I'd hate to start hating one of you guys...so no Politics (unless someone specifically asks me something).

Just so you guys know, in the last 48 hours I have visited:
  • Old Jerusalem - the Jewish, Muslim, Armenian and Catholic Quarters
  • Dead Sea Scrolls Museum
  • Parliament of Israel
  • Yad Vashem (the Holocaust Museum)
  • Church of Saint Anne
  • Church of All Nations
  • Church of Santa Tresa
  • Church of Agony
  • The Golden Gates
  • The Golden Mosque
  • The Blue Mosque
  • Mount of Olives
  • The Wailing Wall
  • The Holy Sepulcher
  • Kibbutz
  • Bethlehem (now in Palestine) - Church of Nativity
I have a lot more to see tomorrow :)

i bet the dead sea scrolls museum was kick ass :)
