Those Russian Twists really hit the sweet spot.

I hate micro and right now I don't even remember it. Macro on the other hand is pretty cool....

Press Training
Mesocycle 21 - Week 1​

Beginning Thoughts:

I was going to skip training today but decided at the very last minute to stop being a wanker. I have been working on this 15 page Econ report for 2 days now and I wanted to complete it before I hit the gym. I did manage to do that and only after I had proof read the whole report did I decide to leave. But, I had like an hour to lift. So, I modified my training and did a Shoulder Medley. Medley is a fancy way of saying Circuit so I'm gonna use that instead. So....I decided to do Banded OHP, Unilateral OHP and Side Lateral Raises back to back.​

Workout:

Banded Overhead Press:
Medley 1 = 135 lbs x 6 reps
Medley 2 = 135 lbs x 5 reps
Medley 3 = 135 lbs x 4 reps
Medley 4 = 155 lbs x 1 rep
The first 3 Medleys were really good. However, the 4th went to shit. My shoulders were fried after the first 3 Medleys...

Unilateral Overhead Press:
Medley 1 = 65 lbs x 3 reps
Medley 2 = 65 lbs x 3 reps
Medley 3 = 65 lbs x 3 reps
Medley 4 = 40 lbs x 10 reps

Side Lateral Raises:
Medley 1 = 12.5 lbs x 10 reps
Medley 2 = 12.5 lbs x 10 reps
Medley 3 = 12.5 lbs x 10 reps
Medley 4 = 7.5 lbs x 10 reps

Facepulls:
80 lbs x 15 reps
90 lbs x 15 reps
90 lbs x 15 reps
100 lbs x 15 reps

Cable Wood Chops:
37.5 lbs x 12 reps x 3 sets​

Videos:

All 4 Shoulder Medleys and Facepulls:
​

Overall Impression:

I weighed myself today. 205 lbs....WTF....eating less than 2000 calories is destroying me...2 weeks ago I weighed in at 195 lbs lol...WTF indeed. Time to start eating right. More food and good quality food.​

Shit no wonder those pullups didn't go well the other day, you had an extra 10 pound dumbell on you lol! I just ordered 2 bands , and was just wondering where did you get your bands and what kind of tension do they have?

Yeah dude....fucking 10 lbs from HELL!!!!

I always buy my bands from Pro Wrist Straps. Alan (the owner) is someone I have a lot of respect for so I only shop at APT Pro Wrist Straps. These are the #1 so it's like 10 lbs or something..I don't know/care much about the tension because what matters to me is progress.

Deadlift Training
Mesocycle 21 - Week 2​

Beginning Thoughts:

I have a massive exam tomorrow...the first of the last exams I'll ever take at Trinity University...I need to get an A.​

Workout:

Deadlift Warm-up:
Mobility Drills
135 lbs x 7 reps
245 lbs x 7 reps
295 lbs x 4 reps
345 lbs x 3 reps
385 lbs x 3 reps

Deadlifts:
425 lbs x 3 reps
435 lbs x 2 reps
445 lbs x 1 reps
455 lbs x 3 reps
465 lbs x 1 rep
475 lbs x 1 rep
Several things went wrong here..Firstly, I have a disgusting habit of biting my calluses and I tore 2 of them off today which lead to my grip sucking on each and every rep (you can actually see my hesitation at the start of quite a few reps and sets). Secondly, I am squatting too much. It's causing my body to be sore for more than 2 days and it is adversely affecting my performance. It won't be an issue once I graduate because then I will be on an 8 day rotation which will enable PLENTY of recovery time. But for now it's becoming hazardous. Lastly, I was way off my groove. Not good.

Pistol Squats:
Skipped

Weird Ab Exercise:
Skipped

Hand Extensions:
2 bands x 20 reps x 3 sets​
