new blast, same training, little tweaks

biceps, forearms, legs were on tap today. put up good numbers. incorporated a static hold into the biceps. overall got really good numbers for biceps, was happy with that. the static hold really got the pump going. did a slight variation of my bicep stretch, it made it hurt a lot more. legs were good. the calf presses on the leg press was pretty difficult, but i felt that they got the calves going really well. did single lying leg curls for hams and did bb hack squats. finished off with a narrow leg press widowmaker to hit the outer quad sweep. fasted cardio tomorrow morning.

a successful workout

got back into the gym today, was basically aiming to get some weight going, wanted to beat the logbook and did pretty well with those. did upper body today, the chest and shoulder lifts were lighter, but pretty hard. still got up some good numbers on the smith presses for chest, tris and shoulders. finished off with some rack chins with a 25 lb plate to get the lats going and then did some deads. was planning to do only 350, but felt good and went with 365, got 5 reps. did a higher rep set of deadlifts and got 315 for 9. pretty happy with this. pretty pumped from the workout. that’s all for now, gonna do some fasted cardio tomorrow to burn off some fat.

the return to the gym

tomorrow is my first day back to the gym after taking 2 weeks off. feeling refreshed, energized, muscles feel good and loose. time to destroy them again and grow.

final workout before at least a 10 day break

good leg workout today, got a 245 x 6 on front squats and a 630 x 23 on my leg press widowmaker. all the other numbers today were solid, but those were the highlights. that’s all for now, taking at least 10 days off from lifting to give my body a rest and time to recover

squat day

two more workouts before the cruise. pushed myself hard on squat today and am venturing into the high 300 territory. never thought that i would be approaching 400, at least not this fast. put down a 385 x 6 for squat and a 275 x 21 widowmaker. legs are pretty shot right now as to be expected and i am tired. was well worth the effort. good thing i have a break until wednesday when i train upper body.

bicep and leg pressing

pretty intense, quick workout today. hit all the numbers on db bicep curls. got a rp set of 45 x 17, 8, 5. did some cross body hammer curls as well with 50s and managed to hit 16 reps straight setted on those. did some calves on the leg press at 440 and then did sldls with 225 x 9. finished off on leg press with 850 x 9 and did a widowmaker of 620 x 21. pretty solid workout. knees are a little stiff now from it though. next one is on friday. only 4 more workouts till i go on a cruise. pretty excited. have progressed well on this last blast and all the numbers have gone up. i’m going into territory that i never thought i would hit, or at least not as fast as i did.

another update

dropshot001 — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 03:03:14 +0000

haven’t posted here in a while, have switched to another website for my information. the blast for me is about 5 workouts from being over. i’m destroying numbers pretty well as of now. really happy with the deads and the squat, both are at 365 right now. the squats are slightly stronger as of now though. legs are coming in pretty well and keep progressing in strength. upper body is still trying to catch up. guess that my wheels are my strongest part. that’s all for now, will make a better effort to post here more often.

mid blast update

dropshot001 — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 23:05:24 +0000

in the middle of my blast cycle. have about 3-4 weeks left before i hit my cruise. i’m feeling good right now. the numbers are really starting to fly. the deads feel good, especially with the grip and the leg numbers are shooting up pretty fast, especially with the squats. happy about that. hope to be squatting over 400 for my heavy set starting at about september. going to try to put down a 365 tomorrow. excited for this.

yesterday’s squats

dropshot001 — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 09:24:52 +0000

went to my gf’s house the other day and got to eat some amazing mexican food. went down to a flex gym and did my bicep and leg workout. overall the numbers all went up either in weight or in reps. happy about the 345 x 9 and the 265 x 20 on squat. had "squat fever" for the rest of the day, but it was worth it. that’s all for now, looking to finish the rack on one arm rows either on my wednesday workout or on the next one. pretty excited for that.
