Ok well I don't know where to begin but Hott damn I had one hell of a workout today! I guess I should state I am not really doing a true 5x5 as my training partner is more into split routine training and I prefer strength training. I completely agree with you zed I ran a good 5x5 when I was going solo and was up to a 405 squat and almost 500 deadlift with a 275 bench weighing 190( i was on the sauce though) But I guess we are trying to find a happy medium that suits us both. I will read up on that strong lifts though I am always looking to learn more. Non the less today was an insane workout. On to the good stuff!!!
Warm up 5 minutes hard pace elliptical followed by 5 minutes rotary cuff warmups.
One arm dumbbell rows
Warmup x 2
70x 5
80x5
90x5
100x5 ( could have went more but thats as high as it goes ...felt
Great though!)
Overhead dumbbell tricep extension
50x 20
60x20
70x15
80x10
90x8( felt solid)
Overhead rope tri extension
Can't recall the weight but did half the rack for multiple reps and had a crazy burn lol
Cable flys high and low 3 sets each with one second squeeze at too of movement
Barbell curls passing the bar back and forth after 12 reps each until we could hardly hold on
Heavy calf raises worked way up to 315 x 12 then 8
Ab work with plank variations and sit ups holding 45 pound plate
I think that is all stretched for 5-10 minutes post workout then ate an epic
Ham, rice sausage muslix cereal meal. Oh and 2 cups of milk.
Now as for my diet the last 2 days I have been adding An extra 500 calories of mixed nuts in the am and a s much supper as I can fit in my belly. Something must be working because I felt euphoric all day at work and I swear I am horny as ever. I don't know if this is due to increased food intake but maybe all these years of construction I have been under eating who knows. Weighed in at 184.5 today. Also have incredible muscle pumps these last 2 nights but I am not sure if maybe the creatine beta alanine taurine combo has anything to do with that. That's all for now thx for following and the advice ! -Mike
