ThanX alot brother!! Much appreciated! This is why Ive never been impressed by the weights these guys lift. I dont even train for strength specifically. I always train to lift as much weight as possible, but my goals are also bodybuilding related. The way I see it, its my fucking mindset that makes all the difference. When I was 140-150lbs after only a few years lifting, I was already racking most of the machines for reps. Mostly rage and a feeling of life or death type anxiety before sets. Now its just routine. Im not so sure about my ligaments and tendons being so strong, but they must have some durability after all these years. Sometimes I feel like Im going to rip myself apart but I dont back down. My mind is much stronger then my body. Ive always been much stronger then I look. The driving insanity is what seperates me from others. Lately I feel as is I am tearing and grinding myself into the ground. Like Im fucking falling apart. But its a fucking disease! And when I cant lift as I once did anymore, Ill likely off myself. I still consider myself small and weak however. I feel I can do alot more. I was real close to getting video up, then couldnt get the battery charger. So now its been delayed again. It should happen eventually, Im working on getting the charger, but it might be some time. ThanX again for the encouragement! KEEP KILLING THAT SHIT!!

Like the avatar. haha ThanX brother!! My email is [email protected] . Hows the recovery been? The future is bleak regardless, I can only train for the day. To keep myself somewhat stable. Get my fix! The cybex eagle row is a pin loaded rowing machine. Theres a variety of them at one of the Gold's I train at. Theyre decent machines to finish off a back workout on. Hammer Strength Machines are my favorites though. ThanX again brother!!

1-13-05 Thursday Chest and Abs (15 Mins Cardio) (KILLED THAT SHIT!!)


Today was overall a very good workout. I didnt hit 400 as planned, but I did hit a few PR's. I came very close to 400, just missing the lockout, so its a small record with that weight. Very small. I hit 18 sets of flat benching. After my max attempts with 400 I started an extended 5x5 routine. I didnt start this routine til my twelvth set. It was insane how light 325 felt, I felt I couldve hit sets of 5-7 reps with that weight all night. My best with the 5x5 was 315 for 5x5. I havent done it in a little while and Ive become much stronger. I did 7 sets of 325, all over 5 reps and on my last set nearly hit 7 reps. I felt like doing sets of 5 until I couldnt do anymore, but was getting some slightly sharp soreness in the chest, so decided to end the routine there. Couldve hit more sets with 325x5+ for sure though. Endurance was very good with that weight. Felt very light. Then once I got home I closed the COC#2 gripper for 7 reps in my right hand (a 3 rep PR). I havent even been training with the grippers at all. Just fucking around with em occasionally. Strength still increases on them. I will likely go for 400 again next week and maybe try some extended 5x5 with 330-335 at the end. Didnt get any sharp pain in my upper spine today so that was a good thing. Lower back felt like it pulled a little with one of the 400 attempts. But turned out ok. My plan was initially to keep the volume lower to allow recovery for my back. But as you see it didnt work out that way. Didnt do any hammer strength presses though. Heres the routine:

(197lbs after small meal, water) ("Snickers" Marathon Bar) ("Speed Stack", some energy pill {free sample} )

Flat Bench:

135x20
225x12
275x5
315x1
335x1
365x1
400x (3/4 Rep. Just missed lockout. Small PR, best attempt with 400 so far.)
400 (1/2 way)
400 (1/2 way)
400 (1/2 way)
400 (1/2 way)

Extended 7x5 Routine:

325x5
325x5
325x5
325x5
325x6 (the rest of the sets to failure)
325x6
325x6.5

325 Extended 7x5 is a PR. 315 for 5x5 or 6x5 was my best before, on this routine. Felt like I couldve continued this pace for many more sets with 325, but figured it was good enough. Chest was getting some sharp soreness, so figured I hit it good. You can see I got stronger by the 7th set with 325.

(18 sets for bench)

Abs:

Seated Crunch Machine:

110x15
130x15
150x15
130x15

1-14-05 Friday Biceps (Some more KILLING)

Didnt have much time today, so just got some biceps in. Biceps were feeling sore before I even began the routine but just ignored it and KILLED THAT SHIT!! I did seated EZ curl Bar curls for the second time, but this time went up to 180lbs. Theyre definately harder then preachers and keep the movement strict. Also have to curl the weight off your lap from a dead stop. For my set with 180lbs I curled the weight up first then sat down with the bar in that position. Heres the routine:

Alternating Dumbbell Curls:

35x15

Seated EZ Curl Bar Curls: (Weight lowered to upper thigh then back up)

70x15
120x8 (Soreness interferring. Then I said FUCK it!)
140x15 (PR)
160x10 (PR)
180x5 (PR)
170x6 (PR)

PR's since Im new to this movement.

Hammer Curls:

50x8

Cut it short due to time and excessive soreness. KILL THAT SHIT!!
