working on a new routine

[JDid23]

thanks oso!!!

Today was Military Press day last set 5+ reps

Military Press
65x5
75x5
85x9- PR

Chinups/Pullups (clusterfucked at first because i hate wide grip. feel weird on my shoulders)-
wide grip Pullups- 5
wide grip chins- 3 (hands slipped)
Chinups- 5
Chinups- 5
Chinups- 5

Dips- all BW
5- PR 3x5
5
5

DB Skull Crushers
12 lb DBs x 15- PR 3x15
12 lb DBs x 15
12 lb DBs x 15

Abs (lot of extra time today and was with my dad so had to wait)
Did renegade rows, russian twists, planks, side planks, leg raises, v-ups... mostly renegade rows though. I fucking love those- going to keep track more next time

Also shot around for a while afterwards. My shot is coming back slowly, but steadily

Weight: 160 PWO- i sweat a lot and didn't eat a whole lot preworkout. I am going to get my diet in check and start making food in the morning.


Comments: I was striving for 9 reps on military today so i am glad i hit that and probably had another in me. My shoulders hurt during wide grip pullups, so i stopped those and the wide grip chins were weird lol. I am not going to use neutral grip from now on though- i'll just do the chinups with the kinda weird grip they have and go for 3x6 BW next week. Dips also felt better than they used to on my shoulders. Didn't feel perfect, but definitely not pain i feel i should be concerned about. DB Skulls were good also and my abs are feeling it right now!

Nice workout especially military press! Are you going to add 5 lbs a week till you stall on military?

for chins I would do neutral grip lots of sets of not many reps or 3x5 or 5x5 weighted and progress with more and more weight...

thanks. I am going to go by the %s of 5/3/1 so next workout i'll do 90 lbs x 3+ reps and then 95 lbs x 1+ reps followed by deload week.

I've gotten 95x5 with some ease before so this week shouldn't be that bad.

@ EM- i was thinking about doing 5x5 on chins actually. However, i know this might sound a bit far fetched but i want to hit BW + 45 lbs lol and more short term is 25 for 3x5 so i'll have to see where it takes me. I think next workout though i will do 5x5 then try them weighted if i get that.

5/3/1 Deadlift Day- 5+ Reps

Deadlift
135x6
185x5
215x5
240x10- PR (had about 3-5 reps left in me i think but this was pretty hard)

Front Squat
45x5
95x8- PR 3x8
95x8
95x8

Pullthroughs
42.5 x 12- PR 3x12
42.5 x 12
42.5 x 12

Hammer Curls

25s x 10
25s x 10

Abs
Renegade Rows
15s x 20
15s x 20 (had to pickup my dad)


Comments: Great workout for the most part. I thought 10 reps @ 240 would be harder, but it was still fucking hard- i thought it would take every inch out of me so stopping was probly more mental. Front squats/pullthroughs were both good, and even though hammer curls seem like a nothing PR, it's a big one for me as i've always struggled on any type of curl. Had to go after abs.


Side story about today: (doesn't pertain to lifting at all) I was going to go out to eat with a friend before my workout, but at my school there are like 50 danish kids who have been visiting for the past week. I was in senior commons so me and my friend thought we'd scope out some hot ones before we left. We started talking, and we asked all the danish kids who were in the cafe who played ping pong since we have a table in commons. One kid raised his hand, and he's the kind of kid who you can tell is full of himself and a huge fag. I asked him if he wanted to play, and he said "hell yees". So we're playing and after a few points, all the Danish kids come in and start yelling for him, and all the american kids start yelling for me. The danish kids were cursing at me in danish (according to 2 of them who spoke english) and all of my friends started a "fuck denmark" chant. So it's 17-17, and when he won the next 2 points he went over to his girl, gave her a kiss, and said "want to make this interesting". I said hell yeah, and he said if i win i can kiss his girl (not that hot, but the point of doing it sounded like it would be demoralizing to him) and if he won, i would have to kiss his feet. I won the next 2 points, and then he needed a break to get water. He got water, came back, and the next 2 points he served, i spiked the shit out of the ball and won. I went over to his girlfriend and said "hey"... Dude tells me to backoff and i said ok since i didn't want to start a fight or kiss her.

So irrelevant, but i thought this was fucking hillarious- maybe you had to be there but this was funny as hell lol. There were like 50 danish kids on one side and maybe 10 of my friends on the other side.

nice deadlift but if you had 3-5 reps still in you then you should have gone up to 12 reps with the 240!

yeah man definitely. I think it was more psychological since i came into it thinking that i would be satisfied with 8-10 reps and once i hit 10 i was exhausted, but i know i had more left in the tank.

For bench i have no idea what i'll get with 135 tomorrow (first time ever working out 2 days in a row besides once on vacation!!!!) but hopefully it will be pretty good!

I could have kicked his ass easily lol.. didn't want to fight though- beating him was more than enough satisfaction
