I hit Chest today!  Only 4 exercises… but I cranked the weight (low rep, hi weight) because my workout partner was there to spot me.  I was able to go from the usual Flat bench DB Press 85lbs to 95lbs at 2 sets at 6 reps.  I short rep the last two but it was ok.

Workout:
Flat Bench DB Press 4 sets 6 -8reps (max 95lbs)
Incline DB Press 3 x 8 reps (max 80lbs)
Cable Cross 4 x 8 - 15 reps
Dips (hammer strength machine) 3 x 6-8 rep (220)

I’m still bulking, and I wanna add 5 more Lbs before Christmas. (185 lbs)
I haven’t taken any progress pictures…because I don’t have any abs.
I’ll post a few new pics before the end of the year.

Only 4 exercises into my leg day and my spotter wants to leave.  SUCK FEST!  In his defense, he cut the back of his knee on a metal hook at work.

I refuse to ever let someone cut my workout short.  Especially when I’m in the zone.  Next time, I need to have him meet me at the gym, instead of riding up there with me.

Hit a new high on Leg Press : 630Lbs at 6 reps.
That was after Hacksquat.

The workout was:
Hack Squat
Leg Press
Seated Calf Raises
Stiff Leg Deadlift

Only 4 exercises.  Only 40 mins.

If this keeps happening, I’ll only call him on Chest day when I need a spot.

Yesterday I went early and hit back in the afternoon at 24hr fitness.  I hit 275lbs on Deadlift again… and I really think it’s time start wearing a belt.  I wanna go heavier, but I want to make sure my back is safe.  As for the rest of back day:

Pullups
Deadlifts
Row (cable row) - narrow grip
Lat Pulldown (cable)
Machine Back Row

Then it was off to the sauna. (5 minutes)

Got to the gym late but I was determined to do a leg workout.  Squats, Heavy Leg Press, Seated Calf raises, Leg Curls, Stiff-leg Deadlifts, Leg Press (hi rep - full range of motion)  Then I went to the dry sauna.  currently I’m 180lbs and growing.  The goal is to hit 190lbs by Feb 2009.  I’ll have to load some new progress pics this week.

I just finished back.  Pre-workout drink was SuperPump250.  After warming up on lat pull, I went to Deadlift.  And going heavy made me dizzy after each set.  I was able to continue the next set but again it left me dizzy.  After I was able to get my head straight, I went on with my back day as usual.  I’m not going to guess what caused the dizzy-ness but I may have had something to do with my shortage of carbs today, or lack of protein.

I’ll work hard to eat right tomorrow… leg day.

So I worked chest… without my spotting partner (as you guessed).  So I couldn’t go as heavy as I usually do.  But I ended up getting more exercises into my routine.  Also got a chance to talk to one of the bigger guys at the gym and get some much needed encouragement.

"Eat Big - Lift Big"  Breakfast, and post workout meal are the most important…

With that I’m motivated to get back to eating like I did when I put on 20lbs!

My goodness, leg day was good tonight.  I can’t understand how I made it through it.  Maybe it was the SuperPump250 but the routine seemed really intense.

Leg Press, Calf raises on leg press, Hack Squat, calf (machine), Smith Machine Lunges, and 3 sets of "knees to chest" leg press (hi rep + low weight).

I could hardly walk to the dry sauna afterwards.  I can only imagine how my legs will feel tomorrow.
