Tuesday, August 26th, 2008I had decided to spend this and next month doing 15RMs. However that didn’t last very long because I love to lift heavy ass weight. This week I decided to try for my regular lifts and just attempt to make my rep requirements with those weights. I knew that wasn’t gonna happen but figured I come close. Yesterday was chest and back. I was putting up good numbers but I was ready to die after the 3rd exercise/ superset. Started with incline bench with wide grip pulldowns, pushing 225 for 10, 8, 6 and pulling 150 for 15. Then flat bench with t-bar rows pushing 225 for 12 and pulling 180 for 15, then I uped the bench to 315 and only got 2 (disapointing, I was hoping for at least 5). By time I got to decline with bent over barbell rows I was completely wiped after the 1st set. I forced out 2 more sets and called it a day.
So today came and its the dreaded leg day. Started with squats superset with stiff leg deadlifts. I felt good plus I had gotten some knee wraps. I wrapped up and through 6 45s on the bar. Banged it out like it was nothing. I was like damn I don’t normally squat heavy so I was supirsed. I then went for 8 45s. I’m thinking 405 gotta be hell but it wasn’t. The knee wraps worked wonders. I didn’t feel it in my knee at all and I got to go heavy. I followed that up with hack squating 16 45s for 15reps…that was tough. And finished up with leg pressing 10 45s. After the hack squat I was out of energy so I figured I’d finish light.
My physique is coming along lovely. Can’t wait for 2moros shoulders and arm bout.
I finally reached my weight goal of 200lbs…now I just need to stay here and keep improving.
My upper back, calves and abs need quite a bit of work so if anyone has any tips on bringing those up give me shout….thanks
