working on a new routine

[JDid23]

thanks man! tomorrow i am going to do

Deadlift: 135x5, 155x5, 175x3, 230x5, 200x5
Dips: 3 sets- if this feels shitty on my shoulders i will stop ASAP
Alt DB Curls- 2 sets.. if i don't hit 25s x 10 per arm i am going to switch to hammer curls.
Seated Calves
Incline DB: i'll try 40s and 45s for 8-12 reps each.

i fucking hate lunges, and i am going to be doing SLDL's in my next routine so i'll give those a shot with some light weight at the end of my workout instead of lunges.

wow shit- just typed up my lifts and i accidentally closed the page lol

never worked out this early in my life... woke up at 6:10 for a 7:00 workout, but started closer to 7:40. Also only got 5-6 hours of sleep because i couldn't fall asleep for 2 hours, but breakfast was decent

Deadlift
135x5 (double over)
155x3 (double over)
175x2 (double over)
230x5 (3 left under/right over, 2 right under/left over)- PR
200x6 (3 of each mixed grip)- PR- 2nd set

Dips- 1 partial dip of narrow and wide grip with bars and both didn't feel great on my shoulder.

Alt DB Curls
25s x 10 (per arm)- PR- GOAL FOR END OF YEAR MET!!!
20s x 10 (per arm)- PR- 2nd set
15s x 10 (per arm)

Seated Calves
25x10
35x10
45x10
55x10
65x10- PR
70x7- PR

Incline DB
35s x 8
40s x 8
45s x 8

Swimming- 12 or 14 laps- PR (shorter rest between laps)

Comments: Considering i only got about 5 1/2 hours of sleep, i was pretty satisfied... Deadlift wasn't that hard with left under, but with right under it was harder. I am pretty disappointed i can't do dips because i really like them- would a good switch be decline DB bench? I cheated a bit on my curls with my right arm, but not too much. I barely even felt seated calves in my calves.. i did a little, but not as much as usual- felt it more in my left ass cheek for some reason and i didn't use any momentum- focused on my calves the whole time. Incline DB was solid considering it has been 3 weeks since i've done them- could have done more with 35s and 40s, but just wanted to see how it felt and it felt pretty good. Next workout i am going to squat 185x3x3 and then have a backoff of 95x15-20 (hopefully 20)...

dips were the only goal i missed this year and i would have hit them had i not hurt my shoulder- only had 1 more left in me. Really saw how much muscle i've gained when i was getting dressed in the locker room to swim- very noticeable and feels good

Nice workout I hate it when u have typed out the workout and accidentaly delete it!

If your gonna do backoff sets for deadlift do it with doubleover hand, it will mean u have to go lighter but it's good for forearms/grip

thanks guys... i am getting up some pics now- just found out how to upload them with my iphone so i will probably take them monthly

 

[JDid23]

well bros--- here are my progress pics. I am around 5'9 and 160ish.. I started lifting in late may and continued until early august which is when soccer season started. I took 3 months off (lost all gains) and have been lifting again for almost 2 months.

my left arm >> my right arm in everything

feedback/comments are welcome- ready for the worst.

i'll have 2-3 posts with these because i can only fit so many in one

Nvm i can only fit so many on the whole site lol- will use photobucket

Dude good work! Hopefully you'll take this in the right way, but your lifts are really strong for your size. You're pretty skinny and are definitely stronger than I would expect you to be. You are stronger on deadlifts than my workout buddy who is 20 pounds heavier than you. Good work though

thanks dude.. some of the pics were a little redic (calves lol) but just want to see where i am in the future when looking back at these... My right arm is basically genetically fucked the way i see it.

yeah i am going to take that the right way haha. I also lifted 3 months starting in may before taking 3 off, and lost most of my gains from then because i didn't focus on diet or lifting. I think that since i haven't been focusing on size (lower rep movements for a lot of lifts) and have been focusing more on strength that that may be why.. i am going to add in some higher rep stuff when i switch routines though, so hopefully i'll see some size increases
