working on a new routine

[JDid23]

Solid Workout.

Squat
95x5
135x5
155x5
185x5- tied old PR
135x8- PR

OH Press
45x5
85x6- PR
90x4- tied old PR

Standing Calves
50x12
70x12
90x12
105x12- PR
110x10- PR

Chinups
1 (some dumbass ran into me)- got right back into the 3
3
4
3

Ab Circuit- My friend who is playing D1 baseball wanted me to try it. said it killed.
15 BW crunches
10 pushups.. after each one u throw one up in the air (wtf lol)
15 BW reverse crunches.. holding a kettlebell to stabilize
20 russian twists with an 8 pound med ball. Touch to ground each time
12 situps with 8 pound med ball.. 1 rep = go down with med ball, come up throw it, and go down to regular situp.

Highest incline on tredmill- walked 1/2 a mile and i sweat my fucking ass off.


Comments: Felt good to squat 185x5 with good form.. Some guy was spotting me and feeling me up and shit and i felt kind of violated, but w/e i hit it and he's a good dude i see every week. the drop to 135x8 was fucking killer. OHP was solid- going to start with 90 pounds next workout and use 95 for my second set (really pumped). I am going to try to go up 5-10 pounds each workout for calves for 10-15 reps.. 110x10 was hard so i am going to do 110 and 115 for my 2 heavy sets next time. Chinups were more consistent so next time hopefully i'll hit 5. I use full ROM and good form on these and tried to feel it in my lats which i did. Ab circuit was ok lol.... Felt kind of gay working on abs with 2 other guys, but i prefer my declines supersetted with leg raises so i'll do that next time. Highest incline walking was soooooo hard- there were accidents all over so my parents wouldn't let me drive home until my dad got there so he could follow me and make sure i did okay. Am fine right now

Also, Andalite if you read this, i am just wondering if it's okay to do the dynamic stretching right b4 i go to the gym at home. Today, it took a little longer to get to the gym cuz the roads were shit, but normally like 4-6 minutes before hand would that make a difference as opposed to right before? I would imagine you'd say yes, but would be nice to get an answer- thanks

yeah man that's true... no looking back on my lifts now that all my PRs (besides bench, hopefully next workout will meet it) for the big lifts are either tied/broken, it's all going up now!! Have to say i am pretty pleased that after my 6th time squatting in a long time (only squat for 1 month before stopping) i am at 185x5, and OHPing 85 and 90 as opposed to 60 and 65 my first 2 workouts.

Only lift i might go back in are rows because i often use my back to help bring up the weight which i hate. It's not intentional, but my left/right arms are so damn different from each other and my left always touches first.

Once i hit all of my goals, i am going to make new ones- probably 225x5 squat, 155x5 bench, and i'll see on some others! Few more weeks for that though- fucking deads!

if your squats continue to climb like they are you have a chance of catchin me up

don't forget i am 2 years older than you man-- i actually thought about that lol but i try to compete with myself and only myself- not the guy i am working in with squatting 200 pounds more than me, or my friends who i workout with some of whom are stronger than me, and most of whom are weaker... If i could find a good workout partner though who would do shit similar to me i definitely think it could help me do a better job.... Also love deadlifting when hot chicks are there.. Today was the first time i ever unwillingly grunted during my 8th rep on my last set of 135x8 squats.

as far as lifts go, great workout

Bench
45x5
75x5
95x5
135x5 (smallest spot on 5th for the last portion of the movement)- PR- GOAL FOR END OF YEAR MET!!!

Row
45x5
95x5
120x5 (cheated on last 2)- PR
100x8

DB Pullover- fucked me
15 x 10
25 x 10

CGBP
100x10- tied PR
105x8- PR

Abs
highest decline x 10-- after this they came over and said it was "under repair"- idk how, but then i went to the leg raises that was "under repair as well"

Swam- 10 laps--- PR

Comments: As far as lifting goes, was great to hit a PR on bench, row, and again on CGBP. Bench felt great, but after rows my bicep was hurting a little- nothing bad though. Then pullovers, my tricep hurt on the fuckin 10th rep of the 25.. The weight feels so light, and it was the first time i felt it on that rep. I did CGBP and it hurt a little, but felt fine throughout the lift. Abs were gay today- took me by surprise.

So afterwards, i went home and got my brother. He wanted me to show him how to squat just for the hell of it, and as i picked up the bar to put it on my back, my left arm hurt. When i showed him how to row, my left arm hurt and when i showed him how to do seated DB Press with 5 lb DBs, my left arm hurt. I am going to try to swim tonight and see how it feels (good for the joints i hear) and ice it when i get home.

 

[JDid23]

wow- i swam 10 laps over like 20 minutes and i was tired as fuck- i am a terrible swimmer lol i gotta learn form on this

however, my arm (think it's my shoulder- maybe my rotator cuff from benching which would suck) felt great in the water.. it's a fuck of a workout

dam i think it is my rotator cuff!

 

[Andalite]

Do you ever do any shoulder prehab movements? Like facepulls or just heavy rows other than barbell rows (which IMO aren't the most efficient by a long shot)?
