Little Boy to Large Man (Log)

[coreygb]

Probably higher than I'd like it to be, haha. Fat by bodybuilding standards, though I don't really claim the title of bodybuilder. I've never been a good gauge of BF%, but I can see my top abs when flexed. 15%? As long as my chest sticks out further than my gut, then I'm content, haha. I'll drop some weight next spring.

12-2-12

OH Press
3x105
3x120
6x135
10x75x5

Chins
5 sets of 10

Curls (for the ladies)
12x60x3

I wish I would have squeezed out another rep or two on the 135 OH press. Oh well. That just means I should be able to beat it on the next 3+ week. I'm starting my second week of 5/3/1 Boring But Big in case you haven't noticed.

12-3-12

Deadlift
3x245
3x280
4x315
10x175x5

Supposed to do 5x10 hanging leg raises, but didn't.

I was very disappointed that I only got 4 reps with 315. I could have easily kept going, but my form felt really messed up, so I cut it short. I know without a doubt that the strength is there, but for whatever reason, my form on deadlifts has been really off lately. I think I figured it out though, so next week should see a drastic improvement. I didn't do the hanging leg raises because, other than being super tired as I still adjust to 5/3/1, I had a back pump from Hell. Ouch.

Bench
3x160
3x185
6x205
10x115x5

Pendlay Rows
10x135x5

BW Dips/Straight Bar Curls Super Set (1 min rest) (This one is REALLY for the ladies)
15 - 12x60
8 - 12x60
6 - 12x60



I wish I would have had a spotter on bench. I couldn've gotten another rep for sure. Oh well, 6 is fine considering I was shooting for at least 3. Focusing on explosion on the rows. Also, this was my first super set ever. I think next time I will do fewer dips on the first set so I can maybe pull off 10 reps for all three sets... I guess.

12-6-12

Squat
3x235
3x265
7x300
10x170x5

Supposed to do leg curl -- Didn't!

This is a pretty brutal workout, although it doesn't look like much. I was satisfied with the 7x300 set. Conditioning wise, this week was easier than last week (week one), so I think next week I will be accustomed enough to the routine to do the couple of assistance exercises I left out this week and last week. Going from lower rep work to this is quite taxing.

Chins
12, 10, 10, 10, 9

Curls (for the ladies)
13x60x3

I'd like to have gotten one more rep on the 140 OH press, but five is alright. I decided to push just a little bit harder on the assistance, adding a couple reps here and there vs last week.

Felt kinda sick in middle of this workout, so I didn't do the dip/curl supersets. No big deal, though.
