Bullshit bro no matter how fresh you are you can never beat me:evil: Lol I posted up the comp in the weightlifting thread, but please read the last page I am not sure how you want squats done cause I am going to be doing them tomorrow around 4:00. I am thinking you can have as much rest as you want between reps but the bar must stay on your back, kind of like 20 rep squats. What do you think bro? Can't wait to squat 225x100 reps:p:p:p:p:D

I was gonna do more whole body workouts, but I want more isolation and its hard to throw in isolation because youre always hitting that same part the day after or the day before in a whole body workout. So im still keeping the same principles as strength but im also adding isolation. Well see how it goes, i feel ill respond well to this.

Yeah I am loving my new routine I made for myself, to be honest it is working much better than the 5x5 and way funner. I might have to do the 315 deadlift rep out again, I might be able to get more than 21:evil: Hey by the way are the rules still the same ie 10 seconds rest max between squats and 5 seconds max between deadlifts?

*** Good to get back in the gym, took some ephedrine and it had me going haha. I did a lot of shit today to see where I was at. Overall im pretty happy. Squats were a little dissappointing since I couldnt get 405 but 225x27 was pretty good, and I tried 405 after this so i think i might get 405 fresh. I got 365x3 after 225x27 squats so Im sure i could. I took about a 2 hr break from the 225x27 squats till the 365x3/405x0

im def doing the deadlift 315 rep out again lol. Yea bro 5x5 is fuckin boring it works no doubt but im ready for something new

yes same rules. I actually dont think i took more than 3 seconds between any reps of my 225x27 squats lol but yea 10 sec max
 
if you were interested then with a little help and some practice you could incorperate some powerlifting techniques to your bench which would help your numbers although there is less focus on the chest when doing it that way so for bodybuilding purposes its not really as good as the way your doing it...
 
the.gladiator1987 said:
nah I dont really wanna use powerlifting techniques for my bench, I know my bench will get stronger anyway. Did you see the new routine I posted back a page?
Click to expand...

yep looks good. Good form on your squats! and on your bench from a BBing point of view. 70x2 is a strong pullup aswell!
 
Wow I am really liking that new routine! I would seriously do it if I didn't have my own lol! I am especially loving the 1 handed deadlifts, grip work, and weighted pullups. To be honest and I wasn't going to say anything but I think you should definitely get those weighted pullups up, with your other strength feats I think you should be doing like 90x3 or more on those. BTW, em I am loving your sig pic! I had to clikc on it before when I wasn't platinum but now jesse01 gave me a 7 day plat so I can see it full!
Also 1 handed pushupsd are a great idea, I just added those into my routien alos.

Thanks broski, its like the best routine ive ever come up with lol. Its like a push/pull but not really. What can I do for grip work if i dont have those hand crush grip things? I definetly want to get my pullups up, like you said i should be stronger in them. HOw come im not? cuz i never do them lol go figure

1 handed pushups seem like they would be a great addition, if i can do 5 right now, think about if i can do 20 with a 25lb plate on my back.

Aparrently a 1 handed pushup is like doing .96 percent of your bodyweight for 1 rep on bench, but since you have to use all those core muscles it is much harder. For grip work you could try farmers walks, static grip holds, static hangs, high rep shrugs (bb), etc. I need to get more grip work in my routine also, my grip used to be better.
 
I think especially if you can do alot of reps then bodyweight pullups are awesome for forearms and grip. So are DB Rows. Direct grip work would be what tblock mensioned. Try some towel pullups, towel farmers walks or thick grip stuff.

tblock what did my sig look like when you wernt platinum?

It justs says the url for the pic, ie it was like "http://i41.tinypic.com/2rz98gk.jpg" and thats it. Yeah towel grip pullups are awesome I have only done them a couple times but they are great. I just need to remember to do grip work and bodyweight exercises, because i don't have them scheduled into my routine so I always forget to do them:( Again, loving your new routine glad:D

Thanks broski! Cant fuckin wait. IM so sore from yesterday!

I changed some things in my routine. Im finally learning that I need to do things im not used to. I used to go heavy with EVERYTHING, but I dont need to. Im gonna do a little higher reps, and use flawless form because i dont care about the weight except for

bench
squat
deads
bb military

those are the only lifts I will do heavy, fast but controlled. The other lifts I will superset, concentrate on the negatives, and use textbook form. I cant wait! I love my routine too
 
135 curl not that much. I'm doing 60lb db curls my self. If you have always done curls and slowly work you way up. Plus he has those short arms to begin with that help lol.

With db's you tend to cheat even if you dont mean too. With a bb you cant cheat unless you use your back. Plus it looks badass curling a plate on each side :)

Plus it is easier for db's because you can turn your wrists a little inward, with a bb they are forced to be perfectly straight
 
OK guys new routine started today. Gonna be keeping a detailed log now that I have computer access all the time every day. Also gonna be posting a lot of videos of my workouts, only gonna record things that are worth recording though. Oh and does anyone know how to imbed videos so they play right in the thread? Thanks

***HOly shit chest and tris were pumped! I loved the workout. Its crazy how much harder it is for a lift when you actually go slow, explose back up, and do higher reps. I can tell my body is so used to heavy weight, low reps. I have no endurance. I only did 17 dips lol. I am gonna be going slow on the negative and exploding on the positive on all my lifts except

bench, dead, military, squat

Those 4 lifts I am gonna be going heavy and doing it the same, so im not gonna worry about going slow im just gonna try to get it up, still using good form.

Hey how do you do db skullcrushers? ie lying or standing or what? To embed videos go to your video on youtube, scroll down just below the video next to share and save to, it says embed. Click that shit and it will highlight the code for you, just copy that. Go to your post, make it advanced, and click on the embed youtube icon. Then just paste the code in between the 2 things.

Oh cool thanks, we ballers need dorks like you:biggrin: jk jk lol

I do them laying down and i hang my head off the end of the bench, then i bring the db's right to the side of my head and bring them back up. Its crazy how much different the 10 reps is to my body rather than going heavy on EVERY lift. Cant wait to see what ill be like in 2 months

Lol I didn't know how to embed shit I always tried to copy the url at the top of the page and it never worked, I finally saw the embed button :think: Do you do them pretty strict cause I did them exactly like that but not super strict and got to the 45'sx10, but I couldn't even do the 50's for one so I switched up to db triceps extensions.

Id like to see you video you doing 45's on db skullcrushers. 35's were always hard for me, i couldnt get 10 with 45's. I do them super slow and explode up, ill video them next wrkout.

Okay well I don't do them slow, and I go to my forehead so maybe that makes them easier. If I do them wednesday I will video them. BTW, I decided not to do the squats video for our contest. I know I am going to get beaten anyway, and I would still do it regardless but to be honest it will interfere with my training right now as I am going for max strength 5x3 and 5x4 and I don't want to be sore for running as it kills my runs for a week. so I'll post up in the challenge thred the final stats.

For sure dude, im not doubting you i just knew 25lbs were fuckin hard! You are actually a lot stronger than I thought. 315x15 on deadlift is awesome and 185x15 bench is good too.

dont worry about doing squats it was a fun comp though! Id like to see more especially you younger guys that are always goin at it lol

Thanks for the compliment on the strength! Yeah I would love to see more comps on here, miked8c is around the same strength as me, maybe he would want a comp. Lweaver is a little older be he is always similar strength. Nice videos, your back was looking HUGE in the pullups video. Weren't you doing 475x5 on cycle? Cause that may be why 455 felt heavy, besides maybe 405x5 tired you out. BTW Brandon that other guy you work out with had lke prefect deadlift form on the 405x5 set. Is his max 455 like in that one video? Only 10 pounds more for me to catch up to him lol!

Thanks bro, i was surprised how my back was looking haha. I was doing 475x5 like 3 weeks ago but it was at a different gym maybe thats why, im not sure. I also did that after 405x5 lol. BUt whatever im dropping the weight anyway

Brandon my buddy is around the same strength as you. Hes a good endurance guy. As you could see his 405x5 deadlift was cake but 455 was pretty hard, my 405x5 was kinda hard but i did 455x3. My form was shitty though. Hes the one that has got me doing more high rep stuff, I really like it so far.

Take it easy bro. I fucked my groin up big time a few months ago. My nuts swole up and my inner leg bruised really bad. I initially thought is was a hernia, but DRs exam and ultrasound proved it wasn't. I actually took two months completely off of training because of this. This shit set me back big time.

Stretch! stretch! stretch! and hit the foam roller. Don't fuck yourself up bro.

Im gonna take it easy. I guess Ill just rest legs.. Football is what keeps fuckin it up too, cuttin routes, doin drills, and running makes it worse. Ill seriously be limp after a practice. I thought mine was a hernia too since i thought i felt it in my nuts. Do you think I pulled something?

Someone also said stretching was bad in my case?

Hmmm. Idk bro. Maybe ask one of your trainers at school. Either way take it easy on the leg volume in the gym. Especially with all the practice drills you're running.

that was me. I pulled my groin (not nearly as bad as you) and i was told by my coach and trainer that stretching it for prolonged periods of time wouldn't be wise. You have time until football season, so even though you're going to hate hearing this it probably won't kill you to take some time off from running routes and practicing. Definitely check it out with your coach and the trainer and i hope you feel better. It's not worth toughing through it now and possibly injuring yourself before the start of the season. That will only be more of a setback for you.
 
the.gladiator1987 said:
jdid i completely agree. Im not gonna practice and Im just gonna rest. Its not really in the belly of the muscle so its not a pulled muscle, its more of a strained ligament/tendon but I could be wrong. Either way running and squatting hurts it so im gonna skip football and squats foe a while :(

Hey bro feel sorry for ya but I may be in the same boat now. I injured my left biceps tendon a while back (fucking arm wrestling) and I was just arm wrestling the other day. During my saturday workout it started hurting, and during yesterday's deadlift workout I had left under and my bicep tendon is hurting fairly bad now. My right finger tendon started hurting again too. Fuck....:(
 
the.gladiator1987 said:
yea tblock it sucks but all i can say is rest rest rest. I have not been resting and its not getting any better, theres a limit to where you can push through something and where you can rest. Mine is a little different because im running around, but i would still take it easy. Maybe not on the finger tho lol its jus a finger
Click to expand...

Yeah but actually the finger thing is getting annoying cause it's been that way for over a month cause I never rest it and just keep deadlifting and shit lol! Double overhand warmup sets are what kills it.

Im finally understanding that Im training to get better at endurance instead of focusing on my 1 rep max. Im just not used to it so when I saw myself holding the 15lb dumbell i was like WTF. My weight was 194 so im up 1-2lbs. Ive been on creatine for about 6 days. Im happy with my bench 245x13. In 2 months im going back ON CYCLE so i will start doing everything heavy again. Im just primimg my body for the next 2 months :)

Hmm that is probably good for cardio conditioning but for strength training you want plenty of rest between sets. That will increase your testosterone levels drastically. Going fast like that is only good for burning calories.
 
thanks bro!

Big Blast Creatine Multi Fish oil Flax oil Cranberry extract Arginine-AKG Garlic CoQ10 Ubiquinol Policosonal Vitamin E Caffeine Gear UNLEASHED

Wow I am liking you taking videos all the time from your workouts! It is sure easier with your friend's android lol! Whenever you do hang cleans next could you video them up?
BTW, great deadlift form your low back was perfectly straight! Fuck I wish I had an ipod though I would lift so much harder:(

Maybe. But for right now, my cardio is getting better. Also my lifts are getting feeling lighter.

Hey glad, how are your workouts doing? Any particular routine you're on now?
Click to expand...


Go to page 61 thats my routine posted there. Its pretty simple, im trying to do higher reps so when I go for 306 rep maxes my body will be able to get those last reps because its been used to higher reps. Also trying to switch it up from heavy heavy heavy on everything. So im still doing heavy compound lifts, but everything else is light. On db skullcrushers i could only do 15lbsx9 last set LOL.

Also my pullup endurance sucks. Ill get 10 the first set, and the next 3 sets ill get 5. So thats bullshit
 
Also Im going to be doing this routine for another 2 months, then do a cut phase where my diet will be spot on and my training will be low rep again for 6 weeks. As soon as Im down to 8% bf Ill start my cycle :)

Oso I need to know what you did as far as diet. Supp wise IM gona take eca, creatine, Gear, Big Blast, multi, and 20g fish oil.

*** Quick workout but I was beat, deadlifts were hard but my buddy said i had good form. He tried to videotape it but the phone was full of memory so it didn't record lol. Also my pull ups are getting better! I'm so happy I got 11, i really got 12, 8, 6 but i cheated on the last rep on each set so i don't count it.
 
Good shit on deads! Doesn't it kind of piss you off though that you got 475x5 on cycle? I mean I guess I would be pissed I would feel like I was so much weaker lol... Also nice work on pullups, what is your bodyweight right now?
 
nice job. are you currently doing anything for pullup progression or just doing a few sets each workout?

It does fuckin suck lol but my form has gotten better since when i did 475x5, and 475x5 might not have been 475 cuz it was at my school gym and it fuckin sucks. Who knows. BOdyweight id say is probably 194 or something

Good stuff dude form improvement is HUGE! My form has improved a lot....385x5 felt literally perfect. But then I missed a week on deads and tried to jump to 395...I only got 4 reps and my form didn't feel as good. I liked my old gym cause it had a mirror that went all the way down so I could see my shins were close enough and all. Worst thing of all: the floor is way more slippery at the new gym so I accidentally WORE SHOES DEADLIFTING INSTEAD OF BAREFOOTING IT!!! :eek2: no wonder why it didn't go well:D

***Skipped deads because of my groin and i felt like it. I also ran 1.5 miles before the workout. I ran with my buddy, we stopped toward the end because he had to take a piss but other than that we were going. Not a full out sprint but a fast jog.
 
EM - fuck yea they do. 1 set and im pumped, 4 sets and i feel like i worked out for an hour.

Its funny I thought id do more since i didnt do deads but it had NO impact whatsoever. SO for future reference do pullups first.

-Bench 315x5
-Squat 385x5
-Deadlift 455x5

I'm pretty sure he got 375x1 on cycle or maybe it was like 373 because they were using weird plates at football?

Yea the 45;lb plates are 48lbs or some shit, but i also did 475x5 deadlift at the school and i dont think thats right. I think its lighter. Im at 335x1 right now, i did 365x1 on cycle. I did not eat enough when i came off AND we started running a lot for football so my strength went down. I kept a lot of size though.

cool, bet you cant wait to get back up to 365!
 
K guys its been a while since ive been on here, and a while since ive been in the gym. Ive been sick for 2 fuckin weeks! Had a 101 fever 7 days after i first got sick it was pretty bad. I finally had a normal shit in the toilet today instead of diarrhea. I also have an appetite back, i started taking my supps today again (arginine, creatine, multi) and im finally motivated to start workin out again!
 
shit man feel better:( Being sick sucks for working out but I noticed since I started working out over a year ago I've only gotten sick a couple times, much less than before. I've only gotten sick like twice in the last year too
 
Yea jesse arginine pumped me up, gave me few extra reps. I like it. TBLOCK, i hate getting sick. Im finally better and motivated!

I am on DAY 4 of a helladrol/beastdrol cycle. My goals right now are to just focus on weak points because I cant deadlift or squat heavy because of a groin injury. So Ill be focusing on:

Bench
Back part of shoulders
Calves
Forearms
Triceps
Traps
