Workout - chest/tri's/front delts
slept for about 6 hours (my Patriots were kicking ass late-night)

DB incline
35 x 25
45 x 15
50 x 10
60 x 7
45 x 6 - failure

cable flys
this isn't in LBS, its # of weight plates
17.5 x 25
20 x 15
25 x 10
30 x 7
25 x 8 - failure

Front military press
weight is LBS per side
25 x 15 (still haven't managed to figure this out...i think doing this as my 4th exercise makes early fatigue inevitable)
30 x 12
35 x 9
37.5 x 5
25 x 4 - failure
i forgot to do my 6th set

tricep bar pushdown
90 x 25
100 x 15
110 x 10
115 x 7
90 x 12 - failure

other exercises completed. this workout was bit rushed, but it was still very satisfying. I weighed myself and my body weight is up to 188 Lbs. The endurance is coming and my gear is starting to kick in. good times, good times...

Man in all honesty I still think your MP numbers are pretty good, from a personal perspective at least.. because that bar probably weighs 65 lbs.. I'm actually a little worried to do it with the smith because I was doing some wussy as dumbbells the last time I did MP, but I'll give her my best and see how I can come out, I like all the detailed logs bro very nicely put together. Your passion for working out definately shows.

45 x 25
50 x 15
90 x 10
110 x 8
90 x 4- fail
for me this was a huge improvement. really had a great 4th-drop set

Smith Squats
Lbs per side
35 x 18
40 x 11
42.5 x 10
62.5 x 5
47.5 x 3- fail
i'm not sure if i could have done 25 reps with a broomstick. once i get past 12 reps with this motion my quads spasm. form seemed to be good. these reps were slow & controlled

Seated calf-raises
105lbs x 18
110 x 22
115 x 16
115 x 12

overall it was a good workout. i was happy with my improvement on the leg sled. diet is spot on all day so far

my legs are the same way after the leg press. i have a hard time getting the 25 reps but get as close as i can with near perfect form. it is challenging.

Tuesday's workout- day before thanksgiving
i forget how much i slept
diet was spot on BUT i did have 2 drinks that night. thankisgiving eve is the biggest thing around here for some reason. i actually have my 10 year high-school reunion tonight as well. that should be interesting.

anyway, the workout was excellent. i'm just going to list my reps for thesde entreies because i'm in a rush.

Hammer Strength pulldown (4th set & drop set)
72.5 LBS on each side for 9 reps
55lbs x 8

90 x 10
70 x 7

DB Shrugs
80lbs DB's x 10
65 x 8

EZ curls
60lbs x 8
45 x 4

I took Thanksgiving off. Today (Friday) i did chest/delts/tri's. Today was an AWESOME workout. i went to the gym with my father and brother, thats always a treat. I really isolated the majority of my reps to the applicable muscle group. I also realized for the first time that cable flys can fry your front delts.

DB Incline press
60Lb DB's x 7
45 x 4

Cable flys
35 plates on each side x 10
25 x 5

Excellent I can tell your really doing it

for the Shrugs Ceiling at 80 no need to go higher for now.

for now focus on upping your Incline DB press for the next 3 weeks
