Lee's Journey to Greatness

Started the new routine today. Using Amp02 pre-workout and PureMCC daily in the am with breakfast. Had a nice back/bi workout today, feel great and my muscles are completely worn out.

All workouts will be format (set x reps x weight OR if a single set reps x weight)

Sumo Deads: 10x145, 10x225, 2x8x315 (coulda pulled probably around 335 but being on a new routine I am just getting my bearings.)

DB Rows: 75x10, 2x8x80, 8x85 (again, coulda pulled more, felt a little light.)

Lat Pulldowns: 8x105, 2x8x150

BB Shrugs: 8x145, 8x225, 2x8x315

BB Curls: 8x70, 3x8x80


All in all I like the new routine so far. Looking forward to legs on Saturday.
 
Is this shadow's routine?

shrugs are a little redundant after deads, but a couple of sets might help if you have problems with your upper back retraction..
 
Post up, big man....you're gonna be a monster if you do this right, at 6'5" you can carry a disgusting amount of muscle and bodyweight when you fill out those long levers......you'll be downright scary so long as you bring up the squats, deads, benches, military presses, and rows.
 
yep i'd think 300 lbs of mostly muscle at 6'5" should be very gettable... and shadow's routine should come in handy towards that goal.
 
Yeah nice to see you starting a new routine i'll be following along. This will just give me a reason to workout harder/eat better and see if I can surpass or atleast keep up with you since we lift about the same on every exercise as of now. It will also be cool to compare our workouts. Good luck and stick with it.
 
well i just moved on saturday into my new apartment, so i wont have the internet til the 23rd so the journal will not be updated til then. but i have been lifting. just got done with day 2 of shadows routine. im making a real life journal as well so when i get hte net in my new place ill post all workouts done from now til then at the same time. its going good so far, but im very disappointed in my flat bench. only able to do 185 for 5x5 at the moment. mainly because before this routine i did no flat work, only incline. i was doing 5x5 with 85 pound dumbells inclined. anyways, enough rambeling, ill be back on teh 23rd with a full update and 2 weeks of lifting to post. peace.
 
im at my old house right now and my bro hasnt fully moved so there is a comp with the net still. i would post my journal for this past week but i dont have it with me. yesterday i had a horrible workout. mainly due to just being exhausted from a long week at work. couldnt concentrate and just felt really weak. i think my diet is lacking. what kind of meals do you guys is pre workout? i usually just grab some cottage cheese and take my amp02. should i eat a big meal after work, then wait an hour or so to lift?
 
oh one nice thing i found out yesterday is that i can actually do real dips. i thought i wouldnt be able to since i weigh 275 pounds. :D
 
Preworkout, I like things like a PB, banana, and honey sandwich....or 2 eggo waffles w/ PB and honey.....or two Power Bars
 
so i should get something with a lot more carbs?

another diet question to. i work various hours day to day. i need to be eating more often but cant figure out what i should be packing. i usually just go to a quiznos or something around noon, but that leaves 5 hours between my first and second meal and 5 hours between my second and third. should i be getting a lot of carbs during the day? or protein? or both? how many cals should i take in each meal?
 
Alright, finally got the net in my new place. Time to post up the past two weeks of training. Here goes.

Ugh, today I felt completely exhausted after work. Installing hardwood floors is so laborious, I need to find a new job. I still hit all my numbers I wanted to, but I just felt horrible the whole workout.

SLDL - 1x18x245 No chance of hitting the last 2 cuz of my grip giving out.

OHP - 5x5x155 Up 5 pounds of last week.

Squats - 5x3x255 Up by 10 pounds from last week.

Seated Calf Raises - 2x20x180

I think next week I am gonna use the same weight as this week except for with squats. The last couple of weeks my body has been just in pain due to work and my lifting routine. Unless I somehow miraculously completely recover this comming weekend, Ill just take it easy next week.

Body is still completely drained on a daily basis. Work is killing me, but I still hit my goals for today. Here goes:

BB Rows: 5x5x195

Bench Press: 5x5x205

Deadlift: 1x20x245

Standing Calf Raises: 2x20x9 machine plates, no idea how much the actual weight is.

Im still planning on hitting the same weights next week that Im doing this week just because my body is so drained from work and lifting. Peace, cya Friday.
 
I'm curious how far you bring the bar down on your OHP. The reason I mention it is that it seems disproportionately(sp?) strong in comparison to your bench. Although you did bention benching has been weak.

I like the journal. Nice and simple and not full of superfluous junk.
 
To my chin on OHP, I find if I go any lower my shoulder joints hurt for a few days following.

Maybe the difference isn't as big as I thought then. I bring the bar all the way down to my clavicle and then go back up.
 
going down to the clavicle would be ideal, i jsut cant do it. never been able to either, when i first tried em back in high school i couldnt bring it all the way down without hurting my shoulders.
 
Ok day today. Had a long 10 hour day at work, was quite tired when I finally got to the gym. Decided I needed to cut back the weight on the shrugs, noticed I wasnt getting the full ROM i needed to be getting. Heres how it went:


Shrugs: 1x5x350 , 1x4x350 , 3x5x315

Bench: 5x5x205

Squats: 5x5x260 This is how tired I am, added 5 pounds more then I was supposed to and didnt notice until my last set.

Dips: 5x5x fat ass bodyweight :D

Decent day, I'm content with my progress. Going to use the same weight next week, I need a break from the grind, work and lifting is killing me.
 
Got a cold over the weekend, had a hard enough time getting to work this week, so I decided to just take the week off of lifting. My body needed it, so I thought it would be a good time. Next week I'll try to increase all my lifts by 5 pounds.
 
Lee!!!!!

I'm very happy you're still posting here. Workouts are looking good. Even though I don't post often -- mostly lurk -- I do always read updated training journals. Keep it comin' young bro!

Is the shoulder pain in the joint, or do you get a kind of 'stripping' in the muscles when you go below chest level? I get the latter in my left shoulder when I do full ROM presses and it's due to internal rotation and muscle imbalances.. try stretching and tissue work if that's your problem
 
its in the actual joint, really sucks, but as long as im getting stronger i wont let it bother me.

ive actually been out of the gym since last week. i worked out monday, but havent since. unfortunately my job leaves pretty much no energy for a workout. i think im gonna start working out satuday, sunday, and one day during the week. i know its a crappy rotation, buts its the best i can do for now with my current job.
 
Actually, that isn't too bad of a workout schedule....You can do lower body on Sat, upper on Sun, and a full body workout on a Wed.
