Leg pressed 900 lbs today 8 reps, AFTER doing squats.  Then did lunges and got 135 for 10 and then 155 lbs for the last 2 sets of 10.  Also did romanian deadlift, leg ext, leg curls… I feel great.  Sweated up a storm, think I left puddles in the gym!

Also, I have gotten my brother, who is very much overweight, to workout with me, which is great b/c he hasn’t been doing much of anything lately.  That’s about it I suppose.  I am jealous of everyone that got to go to the O and everyone that is getting to work with/for all the supplement companies [really I just want some free supps :) ], anyone hiring?  Haha

Yesterday was shoulders and today was back day.

I have some shoulder probs sometimes but I was able to do some pressing on the Hammer strength machine.  I usually do dbell raises, but I did some cable work yesterday for lateral raise and rear delts and did dbells on front raise.  Also did upright rows w/ a wide grip, not so close together.  And finished w/ shrugs and a lil ab work.  I also ran yesterday morning and did cardio post-weights for about 20 min.  Not as intense as I was doing it before, but it was still decent.

Today was back, which I love to do.  I always used to see ppl really neglecting their back in the gym, kind of how they neglect legs.  The back is so big and so I really hit it with alot.  I try to do 50 pull-ups in as many sets as it takes me, but today I got to 35 in 4 sets and then went to lat pulldowns to finish out.  Then, deadlift, which I can’t seem to up my weight on, but I’ll figure that out soon once I start getting used to it again.  I never really do bent-over rows, but today I did 2 sets w/ dbells and 2 sets w/ barbell.  I have to say I don’t really feel it when I’m doing them.  I also did T-bar row and then seated row.  Finished w/ ab machine.  No cardio today, although I did walk for about 20 min this morning.  Might take 2morrow off, if not its a leg day… which is always brutal, b/c I PUNISH my legs.  I was always skinny and I didn’t want to be the guy with skinny bird legs and an upper body that was not proportionate (is that a word?)
