Workout 22 - Thursday, 3.31.11

Squat
45 2x5
190 1x5
140 1x3
185 1x2
235 3x5

Bench
45 2x5
95 1x5
115 1x3
155 1x2
175 1x5

I had to cut the last two sets of bench as well as my pullups because my left tricep hurt from unloading a 45. I'm pretty pissed about that. I tried to work through on bench because I felt like today was the day I'd be able to get all 3 sets of 175, but I figured I'd be smart and not make it any worse. Oh well. These things happen.

When u get an injury u need to lay off it,give it time to repair. Sometimes u can work round it with different exercises. Do u have a training partner?

Yeah I learned that the hard way last year. I kept trying to work through an arm injury that probably would have healed in under a week, but ended up lasting about 2 weeks, haha. No more of that. Oh, and I did have a training partner for about a month, but he got lazy and ditched me.

Workout 23 - Sunday, 4.3.11

Weight: 182 (+1.5 from last week)

Squat
45 2x5
95 1x5
145 1x3
190 1x2
240 3x5

Press
45 2x5
65 1x5
85 1x3
100 1x2
120 3x5 (PR)

Chins
19
10
10

It was probably all in my head, but narrowing my grip and bringing my hands closer to my shoulders on the squats made me feel a lot stronger for some reason. Press was really hard on the last reps. I'll most likely miss a rep or two when I go up to 125. I keep forgetting to add weight to the chins. I'll start doing that next time. I'll probably add 10 lbs. Best workout I've had in a while. Oh, and for the first time in my life I have stretch marks. They're on the upper-inside of my thighs. This could be good or bad. Who knows.

lol? Not sure what's funny. But, If I were to take the time to cut down, I'd end up really skinny. It seems kind of pointless to me to cut if I don't have anything to show for it after losing the fat. I can handle being chubby for a while.

You're doing a great job! Don't take it personal - anybody that chimes in has a sincere interest in what you're doing, whether it comes across that way or not? Remember, he read through posts and posts before commenting. That being said - you haven't posted a specific diet or detail on any cardio work you've done. Diet is half the battle and cardio is a nice kicker. Keep up the great work and remember that we really all mean well around here even if it comes across a little harsh at first! Keep up the good work.

Thanks a alot. I didn't mean to seem like I didn't appreciate people commenting in here. I just thought the "lol" was a little unnecessary, but I wasn't mad. There's literally nothing anyone could say in here that would make me mad, haha.

And yeah, I'm not really detailed on my diet because I don't have a schedule for it. This probably makes it seem like I eat a lot of garbage, but I really don't. Just the typical weight lifting meat, veggies, and milk thing. I just eat every 3 hours, and each meal has a lot of carbs, protein, and fats.

Hey bud
Keep doing what you are doing it's all depends on your goals.
Don't take my lol too personal I wasn't laughing at you it's is just name of the post its not you/

 

[coreygb]

Ahh ok cool, thanks for clearing that up. Yeah, my goal right now is to just get big and strong, even if it means getting kinda fat. There will definitely be a time in the fairly near future for cutting, though.

Workout 24 - Tuesday, 4.5.11

Squat
45 2x5
95 1x5
145 1x3
195 1x2
245 3x5

Bench
45 2x5
85 1x5
120 1x3
155 1x2
175 3x5 (PR)

Deadlift
115 2x5
170 1x3
245 1x2
290 1x5 (PR)

Other than the fact that my arm started hurting, this workout was awesome. The arm pain only came when I WASNT lifting, which was weird. It doesn't hurt at all now though. I'm thrilled that I finally got the 175 for all 3 sets. It wasn't nearly as hard as my last attempts. The deadlifting kicked ass too. I felt like I could do some more. Oddly, I feel like my form gets better with heavier weights. That's most likely not the case, but it sure feels like it.

Nice progress on your lifts, definitely motivating to see you do so well.
