My Training Journal

I think this looks good young bro :)

Friday I would ditch the cable crossovers. They are a useless exercise imo. If you want to superset something with the incline DB press try upright rows. This combo will work your chest/shoulders/traps/tris/bis/forearms nicely. I would do the farmers last and give them everything you got. They are a good "Finisher" exercise.

For overhead squats.....I would rather see you use a 7 ft weightless stick than the oly bar until you perfect form. When you can do 75 reps in three sets with the stick ass to floor with perfect form then try the oly bar. These are not a mass builder and there is no need to go heavy. These are more for flexibilty and to strengthen your shoulder gurdle for the heavy pressing that is in your future :evil: and to really build a bullet proof midsection for all those heavy squats and deads you will be doing :biggrin:
Ah, thanks bro. Firstly, the reason I have cablecrossovers in there is because I really feel them in my chest, I think they are great, yes I would like to do upright rows but allready I have hangcleans, pushpress, db military, lateral raises and front raises for my shoulders, bench, incline bench, dips and pendlays will involve them too...

And as for the farmers, I forgot to add this to my journal - Im doing pinwheel curls instead, I want bulkier forearms and so Im gonna try pinwheels for a month or so then switch to farmers and see which I prefer, Iv tryed both in the past and I prefered pinwheels for sure.

Oh and as for the Overhead Squats, that wont be 7reps anywere near failure, I would get the oly bar and probably use it weightless and build up, maybe but a 5kg on each side because I know I can do overhead squats with 5kg on each side - Iv tryed it. And the other thing is doing it weightless to practise form wouldnt be much use because my gym is kinda crap like that, I could ask pretty much anyone who goes there and they couldnt tell me if Im doing it right, Iv watched videos and shit and Ill film myself doing it and show some people on here, see what they think...

Oh and I will also find time to do rotator cuffs once a week, 3 sets internal and 3 sets external like I do now.

yeh bro i loved it but... wtf I did nelsons calf routine which many people said had them limping for a few days and today, then day after my calfs are pretty much fine, I went heavy on them and could barely stand still after cuz they were trembling but there fine today :confused:

Oh and also, I didnt really feel clean and push press in my shoulders at all, just forearms, yeah they were hard but not shoulder fatigue...

Good job extramile. That workout looks like a nice clean program. No ADD in the gym. Good stuff...
 
Are you going to give any wrist extensor exercise a go given ur more concerned with the top forearm, particularly top outer?

Ah desmond, yeah I ment to put that on here, aswell as doing a little abs at the end of my workouts Im goin to do some wrist extensor specific forearm work, if you check my profile you can see my forearms are rather inbalanced and I just wana thicken them up.
 
Oh yeah and my calfs are not even that bad today, they ache a little.. maybe I didnt go heavy enough, I only used 60lbs seated calf raise. I think Im gonna do leg press calf raise heavier next time...

maybe you didn't go for a full stretch at the bottom and neither a nice contraction at the top. The routine is to be made with a weight that you reach failure on the 20th rep and then proceed with reps until you get all 75, resting just the enough till the pain subside which is 10secs.
 
I know it is, 20rep weight to 75 reps then when 75 starts to be less taxing on your body up it to 100. I tryed with 60lbs a few days before and got 21 reps so I thought that would be ok, holy shit my calves are much worse today (two days after) ...
