Tonights workout.
I'm just kinda testing the waters with this, so I tried a few exercises to see how I'd do. BTW, on all exercises, I rested 3 minutes between each set after the 5 rep sets. I used to rest between 60-90 seconds.
Flat BB Bench: 5X135, 5X185, 5X205, 3X225, 3X225, 4X225, 10X165
Front raises: 5X5, 5X8, 5X12, 3X20, 7X20
Side Laterals: 5X8, 7X12, 5X20, 3X25, 3X25
Bent Over Raises: 10X10, 6X15, 5X20, 3X30, 4X35
Barbell Curls: 5X40, 5X60, 5X80, 3X90, 3X90, 10X150
Keep in mind, for the shoulder stuff, I wanted to start low because of my shoulder issues, & I didn't want to injure them while finding my starting point.
So, I kinda like this format. I'll work up some workouts & see where it takes me. Thanks to biggt (& Madcow2) for the inspiration. Because of only 3 reps per set on the max weight, I end up lifting more overall for the workout.

Thanks, man. I really don't care what he said about me. What bugs me is what he said about Angel & Daisy. I've always been something of a knight, but sometimes I get a little carried away. He just rubs me the wrong way on every level. I'll just go back to ignoring him.

Hi there, stranger. Good to see you.

 

[BiggT]

Nice added volume on the flat bench.....taking a little longer rest is important when trying to increase strength.......there's no sense doing a set when you're not recovered from the last one, it just limits poundages, which limits gains.

I followed the same format, sorta, for my shoulder stuff. Today, for the first time ever, my shoulders are tired, but not painfully sore.
Thanks again, for the tips, man.

 

[SgtSlaughter]

HOLY SHIT!

Wow... SICK workout man!! That's some quality volume there, and nice weights!!!! (wish I could rep out 225 for a few!)

[HiDnGoD]

Ok,ok,ok,ok,ok, here it is!
1/2 hr pre workout, creatine compound, with extra creatine mono added.
15 minutes pre to 15 minutes into workout, protein shake with ANPB & Honey added.
Dead Lift: 5X165, 5X235(The most i've lifted without straps), 5X285, 3X325, 3X325, 3X325, 9X215. That's 9 reps at 325, the most I've done before is 4reps.
Pulldowns: 5X70, 5X100, 5X120, 3X150, 3X150, 15x100, 150LBS, another PR
D.B. Shrugs: 5X50, 5X60, 5X70, 5X80, 5X80, 13X60, Not a PR, but the most I've shrugged in years. I just got my 80s.
Bent Over B.B. Rows: 5X85, 5X125, 5X145, 3X165, 4X165, 9X115, Another PR.

Now keep in mind, all my previous PRs were done with 4-6 rep sets as a final set. But still, wahooooo!
10 minutes from the end of the workout, start drinking protein shake. 10 minutes after workout, Creatine formula with extra creatine mono.

I don't know why I didn't figure this out sooner, with all the info on here. I started the 5X5 before, but I had to stop as I was ending the build up phase. CAn't remember why, maybe injury, or vacation.

So cool! I haven't been this excited since my wedding night. Actually, the only thing more exciting was getting married & having a baby.

It is good to take a day off especially if your arms are fried. I am supposed to do arms tonight but it ain't going to happen till sunday. Headache is still there, I know I am fried, I had to go look up what "TY" meant LOL

 

[BiggT]

You were properly fueled for high volume deads....I think honey can get you through any workout.

With a headache like that, it's best to take it easy.

That's the first time I've deliberately had carbs before a workout.

Have you had your cheat meal this week? Isn't your wife going?

 

[HiDnGoD]

Have you had your cheat meal this week? Isn't your wife going?

No, I didn't, & yes, she did.
We went to an Italian place & I had Lightly battered halibut & a baked potatoe. That was my cheat meal.
How was your dinner, or are you still there?

That's not a cheat meal! Now this is a cheat meal.........

Best damn cheat meal I have ever had. Started off with a vanilla milk shake with whip cream on top (waiting for our table). Then, Baby back ribs with a 70z steak, skewer of shrimp, bowl of fried mushrooms, ceasar salad and cheese garlic bread. Finished it off with a chocolate brownie sundae (hot brownie drizzled with chocolate, with ice cream on top and whip cream around it) oh yeah, and a beer

 

[HiDnGoD]

Well, yesterday & today I have been too tired to do my entries. Suffice it to say yesterday wasn't too bad, except I had a beer.
Today wasn't too bad. I had dinner at my daughter's place (for the first time. twas good) but the dessert was sinful. cream cheese & crushed oreos thingy.
Today I had another great workout:

I don't often eat cookies, or ice cream. WE'll buy ice cream if we're having guests, but usually if I have dessert, which isn't often, I have frozen yogourt.

Frozen yogurt, what a great idea!!!

 

[HiDnGoD]

Frozen yogurt, what a great idea!!!

They make Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, etc. It almost tastes like ice cream, but it's not real creamy. It doesn't have a strong yogourty taste/feel either, so even non yogourt fans ususally like it.
Kinda sad today. We were over at my daughter's last night & her b.f. was telling us of some of the things he had to go through when he was struggling with addictions. Then I read an article this morning in the Toronto Star about the working poor in Canada. Then I read an article on Kimveer Gill, the killer at Dawson College in Montreal.
On a brighter note, my niece & her husband, my Nephew, my daughter & her bf are all coming for a BBQ today.

I looked for the frozen yogurt, couldn't find any

Is he struggling anymore, did he get over his addictions?

Have a great bbq today!

The gurt should be in the ice cream section of larger supermarkets.
He got over his major addictions, struggling with lesser ones. My daughter keeps him in line pretty good.

 

[HiDnGoD]

Well, BBQ went pretty good. Didn't get to weigh my stuff, but, I'll guesstimate, 300g steak, 100g whole grain rice, 200g Strawberrys, 150g red peppers, 150g ceaser salad. 2 beers.
Back to detailed logging tomorrow.

be careful with that infection, my hubby ended up with celelosis (or something like that) from a burn, his whole arm swell up and was red.

Sour Cream glazed Donut? That does NOT sound the least bit healthy. I'm sure you're going to have good reason why you ate it, still feel there are better choices

I know . That's been a problem at work. Whenever someone has a birthday they bring in 4 or 5 dozen Donuts. These are TIM HORTON donuts. Very difficult to resist. There was no better chioice, I simply shouldn't have eaten it.
Spanking?
Anyways, I decided that I would be honest, even when I'm bad.
Feel free to continue noticing. I do appreciate it.

If you ate it for fun cuz it tasted good then good for you, you enjoyed it.

I run/walk by Krispy Kreme every morning & wave to the people in line since my gym is next door. Hang a left to the donuts or hang a right to Coldstone/Starbucks or hang a left/quick right to the gym ...

Just letting you know I care. If you want one, eat it, enjoy it, and don't feel bad about treating yourself...THAT is what gets people in trouble

I KNOW that building willpower is like building muscles. You have to work at it, one step at a time. If you deny yourself everything, then you are only sabotaging yourself. Also, if you backslide, vacation, bad weekend, you have to be vigilant when you get back at it.
Yes, it tasted good & I enjoyed it immensely, but I have to build up my willpower, so next time, I pass right by.
And thank you for caring.

[HiDnGoD]

Didn't have time to post diet & workout last night. I'll do it tonight.
Sufice it to say, I did chest & shoulders. After ball practice. After feeling a twinge in my right shoulder at ball, then forgeting about it. My workout went OK, pain wise. Same old same old. PR on bench, again.
I woke up this morning & I could barely lift my right arm, my shoulder hurt so bad. Put some A535 on, & took a Robaxacet. It only hurts now if I do certain things.
I'm not throwing the ball at practice tonight.

I always joke around about the A5... does it really work well?

 

[*Bunny*]

HiDn how's the form on your bench & other exercises? Do you compromise it to focus on upping the weight? Where is it aching, between medial/ant delt? Near pec minor / major tie?

 

[step@half]

Hey bro

how's it goin, I have always thought you had things pretty well under control and were doing very well with reaching your goals. I just wish that I had half of your determination and dedication needed to reach mine.
Thanks for all of your advice and support over the past few years.
Keep up your hard work and I know you WILL reach your goals.
Go Bro GO

 

[step@half]

Hey Bro

I have been losely following your diet and have lost a few more pounds, thanks just having problems hooking up with anyone on this site with same kind of limitations I have, to try and come up with some kind of work out plan to muscle up besides bike riding that does'nt bring on a flare or leave me crippled for a few days.

I do draw the will power to keep trying from your determination to succeed with your goals so,

Go Bro Go :

 

[HiDnGoD]

The more I work at it, the more I am enthuseded.
A535. I think so. There is also a cooling gel too, but I'm still on the fence on whether that actually works.

 

[HiDnGoD]

HiDn how's the form on your bench & other exercises? Do you compromise it to focus on upping the weight? Where is it aching, between medial/ant delt? Near pec minor / major tie?

I THINK my form is pretty good. I used to bench with my elbows out, & I have to watch, when the weight gets heavy, that I don't revert to that. I was getting more shoulder pain that way.
I think my PRs are just due to the new workout format. I think I am gaining some strength, but my PRs are gonna become rarer.
Shoulders: 1. Well, I have tendonitis in my traps. It flares up now & then, but
it's usually not too bad.
2. Sometimes get pain, it feels like the medial delt insertion, under the posterior.
3. Throwing ball last night, I got pain in the muscle belly of the anterior delt.
4. Sometimes where the Pec joins the clavicle.
5. Sometimes where the pec joins the upper humerous
All these aches are usually brought on by a specific action. #1 & #2 have been bothering me of & on for a little while. This morning it seemed I got them all at once.

Basically I'm a bit of a train wreck around my shoulder girdle. Most of those are in my left shoulder, with the exception of the tendo, I get that in both.

Control? What's that? I'm controlling this like a balloon pilot controls his craft in a blizzard. Any goals I hit are 1/4 skill, 1/4 luck, & 1/2 determination, LOL.

How are you linking the cross body hammer curls? Are you remembering to clothesline yourself? (I bring that dumbell all the way over to me opposite ear with me elbow horizontal directly under me chin.)

I almost touch the top of the opposite shoulder with my knuckles in the D.B..

 

[treilin]

I THINK my form is pretty good. I used to bench with my elbows out, & I have to watch, when the weight gets heavy, that I don't revert to that. I was getting more shoulder pain that way.
I think my PRs are just due to the new workout format. I think I am gaining some strength, but my PRs are gonna become rarer.
Shoulders: 1. Well, I have tendonitis in my traps. It flares up now & then, but
it's usually not too bad.
2. Sometimes get pain, it feels like the medial delt insertion, under the posterior.
3. Throwing ball last night, I got pain in the muscle belly of the anterior delt.
4. Sometimes where the Pec joins the clavicle.
5. Sometimes where the pec joins the upper humerous
All these aches are usually brought on by a specific action. #1 & #2 have been bothering me of & on for a little while. This morning it seemed I got them all at once.

Basically I'm a bit of a train wreck around my shoulder girdle. Most of those are in my left shoulder, with the exception of the tendo, I get that in both.

Yes I never posted in your log before, LMAO.. but just saw this post and would add my 2 cents give or take it...
I would say from what you wrote rotator cuff weakness, over contracted pecs. Never heard of tendonitis in the traps, were you diagnosed with this?
Rotator cuff attachment where you explain #2 happens to be the same area as the sit (supraspinatous, infrapsinatous, teres minor) and is usually the first area to feel pain since it is stressed the most. Pec major = huge muscle, it's antagonist rotator cuffs itty bitty muscles. Oh and throwing a ball is activated by the supraspinatous, so if you felt it then you could be pinching the attachment under the acromion process of the clavicle. More like rotor cuff tendonitis. By the clavicle I would say Pec minor is the issue. Do you ever get tingling down your arm?
So like any client I would have them strengthen the posterior shoulder, and stretch the pecs more often. Doesn't have to be heavy weights.. more like physical therapy.. low weight lots of reps. JPT was having similar issues with his shoulders. Posture is always a factor in there also.
O.k. 2 cents over..

 

[*Bunny*]

^^ BINGO what T said... I cannot begin to tell you how many people on here and at the gym have this problem in that same area ...

To add I highly recommend fixing & addressing the issue before something ELSE gets injured with poor form, heavy weight, etc. I ramped down all my weights to re-learn proper bench technique and after a few weeks I PR'd my previous lifts, and my massage therapist was kinda shocked that two areas (Pec minor & mid rhom) released. It was there for MONTHS. Great advice treil

No tingling down the arm from the shoulder, but I do have tendonitis in the elbows, that flare up now & then.
I had been diagnosed with tendonitis in the traps. I had also been told, on a previous rehab stint, that I had a muscle imbalance between chest & back, so I've been prioritizing my back periodically.
I've done the following exercises also. I'm not sure of the proper name, but I'll try to describe them to you.
1. Standing in front of an overhead pulley, one arm at a time, palms facing down, with 10-15 lbs. Keeping my arm almost straight I bring it from about horizontal (straight ahead) to my side, for 10 reps. 2 sets of 10, each side.
2. As above, but facing the side & bringing the arm down in a sideward motion.
3. Using a theraband hooked to a door handle or something, with my arm bent 90deg at the elbow, rotate the arm across the body. Do the same for each side. Then rotating outwards.
4. With a 5 lb D.B. and my arm straight out to the side, bent 90deg at the elbow. Slowly lower the weight to the front, then raise it.
These seem to help sometimes, but not always.
I'm going for Xrays next week, Ultrasound on Oct. 24, then Doc will decide what to do.
I believe these exercise are supposed to strengthen the rotator cuff.
And thank you Treilin, very much, for your post. It's really nice to hear from people that seem to know what I'm talking about.

Good to know no tingling down the arms that means no pinched nerve from the Pec Minor being overly contracted.
Sounds like you are on a good shoulder rehab program.. Internal and external rotation excellent...
Can always add in some anti-inflammatory meds also if you know you are going to work chest or shoulders for precaution measures.. I know some people don't agree with that because it inhibits the muscle repairing process by (if I recall right) decreasing the blood flow to the area...
See what the X-rays say I am curious. Ever been to a massage therapist?

Actually, it hurt to breathe when I got up. That surgery I had in the summer. I laid right on the lump that was left over, right at the bottom of my solar plexus.
Other than that, it was good. Tough.
I'm trying to get more variety in my ab work.
I wanna start going back to that pilates/yoga/tai chi class the wife & I used to go to.

Today's workout. 15 min on Xtrnr, 210cal, 15 on treadmill, 185 cal.
The gym I went to today only has the Xtrainers with the arm bars. I prefer to use a machine without them, so I went to the treadmill. I don't usually run, because of chronic knee problems, but I did today, started out at a fast walk, then started alternating walking 2 min & running up to 1 1/2 min. I can do many things, but running isn't one of them, LOL.

A couple points, since I've started this. We used to go theough a 500g bar of Cheddar per week. That's over 1 lb, for you heathens. The current Bar we're working on is over 2 wks old now, prolly another week to go on it.
WE usually buy Liptons sidekicks or Uncle Ben's Rice for supper, we'd each eat a 3rd. No each package does us for 2 dinner's, plus sometimes a lunch as well.
My point is, when you are more aware of how much you are actually eating per meal, you can more easily control it.

WE usually buy Liptons sidekicks or Uncle Ben's Rice for supper, we'd each eat a 3rd. No each package does us for 2 dinner's, plus sometimes a lunch as well.
My point is, when you are more aware of how much you are actually eating per meal, you can more easily control it.

Oh wise one! wax on wax off hee hee. Good job cutting the cheese LOL
