Daily workout log/journal

[Spec C]

How about we keep this as an on going thread, where people post their daily workouts, cardio, or other training(mma, bjj, bike riding, etc) they did for the day. Can also include what you ate if you so choose, or any questions, thoughts, etc you may have. Possibly something we can look at over time, keep motivated, and see what gains we made. In addition to getting new ideas on training, etc.

First day back from vacation. Felt "ok" I didn't have my log book with me, but I will start posting up exact workouts Wednesday.


Kind of still just training by feel, and what I feel like doing. Will go back to something more structured after the summer. I am stilll training with a bit higher reps, and more volume then usual.

Today looked roughly something like this:

Everything down with SLOW controlled negatives.

Hammer Strength Decline: 180 x 18 x 15 x 12

Solid workout man. Those 225 inclines with no spotter is nothing to sneeze at! Especially after your flat BB.

Come on fellas lets get this shit rolling! Even if you did some p90x, rode your bike, throw it up.

Tell me about it. I have never had a lifting partner..lol I pretty much end up having to use the smith machine/hammer strength for certain things, or if there is a free power rack, I will drag an adjustable bench in there.

Good work man!

Bout to hit the gym myself :)

[Spec C]

All movements done with legit 2-3 second negative, pause at the bottom, and explode up. No ego lifting here...haha

Shoulders:
Smith Military press- 225 x 6 205 x 10 x 8
Smith Behind the head press- 155 x 15 x 10 x 10(i go light on these, and only down to top of ears as they put the shoulder in a compromising position)
DB Lateral Raise- 25 x 15 x 12 x 12
Face pulls done on low pulley row - 60 x 12x12x12 ( these are awesome for rear delts)
DC Shoulder stretch

Biceps:
DC style BB Drag Curl- 85 x 12 x 10 x 8(curl up regular, negative is done in a drag curl fashion)
1 arm DB preacher- 30x 12 x 12 x12(I do these with the same 3 sec negative, but pause for 2-3 sec at the bottom in a deep stretch. Shit is brutal)
Incline DB- 30 x 12 x 12 x 12

Forearms:
Pinwheel Curls- 55 x 12 x 12 x 12
Rev Cable- 60 x 10 x 10 x 10

Dc bicep/forearm stretch.

------------------
Thoughts:
Man my chest/shoulder tie-ins were sore as fuck today, from chest day. It kind of hindered my workout, but still had a good session.

I started doing shoulders before biceps a couple months back, and I will say I feel I get a better bicep workout when the delts are pre-exhausted. I think for someone like me who is delt dominant, it helps take them out of the equation. My numbers dropped quite a bit, but it is all relative.

If you have never tried a drag curl, give them a go. A regular drag curl drags the body on the positive and negative portion. A DC style curls up in a normal fashion, and at the top you drop your elbows back till the bar touches your chest, and then slowly lower the weight, dragging down your body. The negative really kills the biceps.

The face pulls I did today, are done like this, and I like them as a change to the standing variety.

Good luck brotha! We all know how much it sucks to start over, so don't let it get you down.
Numbers are just numbers, the important thing is how much you improve from them, not where you start.

Perhaps Mon/Tues start. I'm headed to Vegas for the weekend.
I would be down Mon or Wed, as I don't lift Tuesdays.

I'm always down for a wake up call! Ive been so bad, the alarm goes off at 5 i hit snooze 10 times, next thing I know its 6 and if I get there any later than 6:30 its kind of a waste, because i can only work out for about 45 mins tops before I gotta head to work.

I physically can't sleep past 530am these days, it sucks. I just wake up.

I am about to go hit tri's/legs. Going to "hopefully" get my squat back up this year, if my body cooperates.

[Spec C]

Starting to ease back into heavier weights. It is almost GROW time.

Triceps:
*all movements done with 3 sec negatives*
Close Grip Bp- 225 x 13 205 x12 x 9
Floor Skulls-105 x 8 x 7 x7
Wide grip pushdown- 180 x 10 x 10 x 8

Legs: Have really neglected them due to injury, but I am taking this winter to get them back up to snuff. Going to ease back into them over the next few weeks, and start getting my poundage's back where they should be.

Standing Calf- 180 x 10 240 x 5
Sumo Leg press- 5plates/side-12 x 12 x 12
Squat- 225 x 20(will start increasing weight, and bringing down reps next week)
----------------
Notes. Tricep Skulls/extensions done like this for anyone who wants to try the variation.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1AZebtYyA0&feature=player_embedded

I was surprised how light 225 felt on the close grips. I probably could have gotten 15 easily if I had a spotter, and wasn't worried about crushing myself. Not bad for super slow negs..

I have not flat BB benched in roughly 5 years(at all) and I may try it this coming week if Infracted and I get together as I will have a spot. Might go for 225 for as many as I can, or work up to 315 and see if I can get that for 1, or a couple.

[Spec C]

Chest:

Flat-225 x 5 245x1 265x1 275x6
Incline smith- 225x15 255x 7 x 7

DC stretch(80lb dbs)


Back:

Hammer Strength pull down(palms up)- 230x10 x 10 x 9
Low Rack dead- 315 x 12 405 x6 455 x 4
Shrug-315x 12 x 10
Face Pulls- 130 x 10 x 10
Pull up-10 (SLOW negatives here)

45min LISS cardio.

----------------
Thoughts
---------------
So I benched for the first time in literally 5+ years. I warmed up, then worked my way up to 275 where I got 6 easy reps. No spotter, and having not benched I didn't want to push it. I feel I could have got atleast 10 here, with someone standing over me..lol


Still starting to increase weights, and bring rep ranges down.

45min cardio


----------------------
I cut my rest between sets down considerably, trying to prepare for getting back into DC.



Going to have to start taking some volume out, as weight goes up.


I am still kinda just going in there and doing what I want. The goal is to just make small gains/maintain strength while continuing to slowly diet through the remainder of the summer. I am not going to make any leaps in strength/size at this calorie level.

[The God Damn Batman]

Did a little bit of a different plan today. Started doing the 3 second thing like you pointed out Spec, really felt a difference, also I started low, to high, then back to low on my weights for a good burn out.

Rows
65x20 75x15 90x12 65x12

Lat Pull down
65x15 75x15 90x10 65x20

A few more rows
75x6

Ab crunchs
50 slow full cruches
50 mini fast ones
20 burn outs

Stationary bike for 5 miles, took about 20 mins.

Did a few more cruches,
50 full no decline or weight

reverse crunch (no weight)
40x
Then did both sides till burn out.
Sorry i dont know what all these things are called.

Solid workout.

I am a big fan of slow controlled negatives. The muscle is under tension for a much longer period of time. Plus it helps curb ego lifting:)

If you want to take it a step further, next time you hit back try this. Do a brief 1 sec pause at the contacted portion of the rep.ie for pulldowns pull down to your chest, hold/squeeze for a second, then slowly lower it. Same can be done with rowing movements. T
If you have never done close grip palms up pull downs try those too for a change.

[Spec C]

I personally don't typically(I do sometimes..lol) pause on chest movements, but if your going to do it on chest you want to pause at the bottom in the stretch position, then explode up, slow negative. I just usually stop for a nano-second then explode back up, vs an actual 1sec pause.

Some people do like pausing in the stretch position though, and it does have merit. I actually will do this on something like preacher curls, at the full stretch position, stop for a full second, then back up, this also kinda takes the momentum/bounce out of it.

The back is a bit different as it is easy to use momentum, that pause at the contracted position forces you to hold it there. Plus you get the added contraction by focusing on the squeeze.

If you go to about 3:15 in this vid, Dorian Yates does them, and it will give you an idea on how they should look.

Great i'll try that tomorrow. Good lord that dude is huge, he would literally snap me in half.
Any reason why you dont do it on chest? Or is it just prefrence. Ive been trying to kill my chest to get some more mass in that area.

Mainly because the chest pause is in the stretch position, and I do weighted stretches for chest anyway. I usually just come down slow, split second stop, explode up.

Pretty much like this, except I stop just short of lockout on the top, to keep tension on the chest. But you need to play around with things and see what feels best, as we are all built differently.

Thoughts:

Squats:
Continuing to turn up the wick on squats. I have always used a higher bar position them, but dropped it a bit today. It will take some getting used to but I liked it. Also trying to focus a bit mentally on hip drive.

My squat is coming back nicely. Had an old powerlifter come up to me after my 315 set and tell me "Real nice set! nice depth..you don't see people go deep here" which was cool..lol

Goal today was to just get 315 on the bar. It felt good, not heavy at all. 315 x 10 is there, just need to do it.

Knees and hips both felt good.


RDL:
Felt nice and strong on these, but my grip on my right hand will never be the same after a bad injury. Try and deadlift with no middle finger, and that is what I am dealing with. You don't realize how much you use that finger, until you cant.:lol:

Hack Squats:
Did these DC widowmaker style I picked a weight where I figured I could just get 10-12, and then gut out 20, one brutal rep at a time. I was out of breath by the end, and about to keel over. My legs felt like I was walking on chopsticks.

I felt pretty strong on close grip BP. 245 x 5 was pretty damn easy, and had a few left in the tank.

I am kind of pissed I was working up to 365 on squats, but I set the rack too high, and re-racking 315 involved me having to go on my toes..lol I wasn't about to do that again.

I was to lazy too strip it off, so I just did 225 for my last set. Will increase next week.


Ordered a pair of these lifting shoes. First time I ever had dedicated lifting shoes, and look forward to trying em out.

Good job! How many min/mile are you getting currently?

Thanks! I don't know how fast, I usually geek out on numbers but this time I'm going to try not to. Lol, I think i'm going to train to adjust my body to run far before I run fast. I hear 26.2 miles isnt a joke, I just want to cross that finish line.

I'm usually not a runner either, but pretty much my whole family is going as a team, forced to, haha.

Thoughts:
Decided to do flat bench again. I will likely do it a few more times, and then drop it back out.


I did deads for the first time in about a year. I felt pretty good with them, no pain. :)



I normally end with bent over BB rows, but my low back was tight as hell, so I decided not to push it and opted for a cable row.


Pretty good numbers

"Question, what difference does it make if your chin is down when shrugs?"

I have found that this gives me a seemingly longer range of motion when shrugging. It also seems to keep my arms from helping me pull the weight. Try it sometime and see if its for you

Damn this section has been dead! WTF.

Your work schedule is crazy man. Major props to you for even being able to eat, and lift consistently with all the hours you put in!..

Maybe once/if shit slows down for you, we will catch a work out at some point.

Me too!

just let me know when things settle down a little. Maybe we can meet at the golds half way between us. I will just print off a week pass on their site, you should be able to get in free since you are a member, I would think.

We just need Dsquared to join us!

Maybe a heavy back day, since my deads are slowly coming up, and I could use your massive deadlift to motivate me..lol

[1badLst]

Thatd be badass! Hopefully things will settle soon but im not gonna hold my breath with the shit I just got myself in this last weekend.

Group deadlift day would be wicked!!! Im sure you dead just as much as me man

haha na. My best so far since getting back too it was 405 x 3. I need to work on my form as I lost my groove a bit by neglecting it for so long, which causes an inconsistent deadlift.

[1badLst]

Yeah those are good numbers man. I gotta get back on the DL routine hard.

[bb4arson]

Thur- Back
Fri- Arms
