DR.Squats’s BodyBlog

Well today i was readin some articles on training from the Animal (universal Nutrition) writer and found the complete ANIMAL training program and since today was back i used that, so i headed down stairs after all the pre-workout "rituals" and got started. No adam today, he had a date, you know how we do it, ha ha. But yea, Every exercise is 4 sets by 8 reps, heavy ass weight. So lets get goin. First exercise was lat pulldowns. like i said 4 sets of 8 reps…so first set was a nice little warm up of 90 pounds. Easy, of course. Second set was 100 pounds for another easy 8 reps. Feelin strong today. So next set i put the pin in to the 110 and got another 8 reps, somewhat easy, so i decided to put it up to 130 for the last set, and just barley got 8, would have gotten it easier if Adam was there but he had to leave me hangin, what are brothers for huh? So yea, next up was reverse grip babrbell rows, Yates style as i like to call em. So as i was resting i got on the computer and started watch the Brit Show with John and Baz, thats good tv? dont know if i should call it tv or not but, its good. Keep it up. Hope to see Baz get back into it. But yea, time for Rows, Yates style ha ha. First set was 135 for 8, nice and easy. Damn Brit show got me sayin that. Next set was 155 for another 8, next up was 185 for 8 reps and last was 190 for a tough 8. I was really feeling it on the last 2 sets. I always seem to get a better pump or burn with heavier weight. Not light weight and high reps, that just burns me out with no real burn, just get tired. But thats for another conversation. After som Yates Rows i moved on to dumbell rows, again 4 sets of 8 reps. First set was super easy, and i mean super easy set of 8 with 50 pound dumbells. So i jumped up to the 70 for the next set. Nice and easy…there i go again…but nice and easy 8. Thrid set, a somewhat easy set of 8 with the 80 pounders and my final set was a harder set of 8 with 90 pound dumbells, i probably could have got 10 reps so i will have to use 95 or 100 pound dumbells next time. But thats next time. So for my last back exercise i did Shrugs, my favorite exercise ever. i love it. So I got the barbell set up with 135 for my first set and did 20 easy just to get a better warm up, second set was 185 for 12, third was 205 for 12, and my final set wa 225 for 10. That will give ya a burn believe it or not. ha ha. After that i did reverse shrugs with 135, 185, and 205. 8 reps for all. After all that was done, i did calves and got a huge pump from those, i like to do calf raises like Jay Cutlerdoes them, all the way down go to the middle and shoot to the top, three movements. Get alot better stretch and contraction. So yea, Adam missed one and now he is goona get an ass kickin, so ill be seen you guys tomorrow. PEACE!!!!
