Shoulders/Traps
1.Dumbbell Shoulder Press: 105 X 6, 105 X 5, 105 X 5 2.Standing Military Press: 205 X 6 3.Side Laterals: 55 X 7, 55 X 6, [55 X 6, 45 X 8, 35 X 10] 4.Rear Laterals: 55 X 6, 55 X 6 5.Barbell Shrugs: 315 X 10, 365 X 8, [385 X 8, 225 X 15] 6.Machine Rear Lats: 180 X 6, 180 X 6 -Good increase in both presses. Went up 5 pounds in the laterals. The brackets stand for drop sets. Side laterals were a triple drop set, while the barbell shrugs was just a standard drop set. I actually did that as a burnout. Max-OT doesn't recommend burnouts or dropsets. I added them because I like them. |

Biceps/Triceps/Forearms
1.Barbell Curls: 135 X 7, 145 X 6, 145 X 5 2.Close Grip Bench Press: 275 X 6, 275 X 6, 285 X 5 3.Incline Dumbbell: 60 X 6, 60 X 6 4.Skullcrushers: 70 X 6, 90 X 6 5.Hammer Curls: 65 X 6, 65 X 6 6.Cable Pressdowns: Stack X 8, Stack+10 X 6 7.Behind the Back Wrist Curls: 135 X 12, 135 X 12 -Big jump again in all weights. Again, I did one biceps set, rested 2 minutes, then did one triceps set. Interchanged between each exercise to optimize recovery. Barbell curls felt the best. Next week I'll certainly go for my old max of 155-160 lbs for at least 4 solid reps. I think my biceps strength has alot to do with adding 3 sets of chins in with my back routine. |
8May
Rest day. Same protocol as previous. Increase my protein and carbohydrate intake to maximize growth and recovery. Had about 10 hours of solid sleep as well. I actually set my alarm to go off three times in between sleep to get up and down a protein shake with milk.

Legs/Abs
1.Squat: 275 X 8, 295 X 6, 295 X 6 2.Standing Calf Press: 285 X 12, 285 X 12, 285 X 12 3.Hack Squats: 240 X 6, 240 X 6 4.Seated Calf Press: 145 X 6, 155 X 6, 155 X 6 5.Stiffleg Deadlifts: 285 X 6, 285 X 6 6.Front Leg Press: 285 X 7, 285 X 6 7.Rope Crunches: 2 sets of 20 8.Swiss Ball Crunches: 2 sets of 15 w/25 lb plate -Good day. Went up in my lifts from last week. Felt tired in the gym though due to working a late night (5P-5A). My lower back hurt a little, but I pushed through. |
Someone sure is lifting up the whole gym. :D I am jealous, oh well, pound for pound I am as strong as u, so I cant complain.
|
Since I always neglected legs, I'm trying to play catchup with the rest of my body. My upper/lower body is night and day when it comes to strength.
|
I see, that u r benching more than u squat, oh well, u will catch up. You dont have tooth picks for legs, do u 311?
|
No toothpicks for legs, but they are weaker than my upper body yes. I'm actually proud of myself for making a stand and working legs for the first time in my life. I always used to avoid them because my rationale was that girls don't say, "Wow, nice legs" Now I can see though that all my other lifts improved since working legs. It won't be long before I pass my bench in squats. I could do alot more weight, but I want to focus completely on my form and going as far down as humanly possible.
