Day 1, Week 1, April 12 2010

Height: 5"11'
Weight: 145.8lbs
Age: 16
Squat 5 rep max: 145lbs
Deadlift 5 rep max: 175lbs
Bench Press 5 rep max: 145lbs
Row 5 rep max: (Originally I put down 165lbs, but it is now 125)
Military Press 5 rep max: 75lbs

squats:
1x65lbs
1x85lbs
1x100lbs
1x120lbs
1x135lbs

bench press:
1x65lbs
1x85lbs
1x100lbs
1x120lbs
1x135lbs

Rows:
1x60lbs
1x70lbs
1x90lbs
1x100lbs
1x115lbs

2 Sets of Weighted Hyperextensions (2x8x35lbs)
4 Sets of Weighted Situps XXXXXXXXXX

Notes: Squats were good, I was doing such light weight most of the time that I didn't even need those things that you put on the ends to keep the weights from falling off. Only the last two sets.

Bench went well I guess, same for the safety things at the end, only used them during my set. I think my left arm is still lowering a bit, because it's the weaker arm. Probably causing some imbalances but I think that it will be fine, wasn't more than a centimetre lower.

Rows were okay. I first started with a double-underhand grip, but switched to overhand after the first set. Don't really know how to get perfect form for them, but I'm gonna study up on that.

2 sets of weighted hypers... Not a fan. I did them fine, I just don't like them. I skipped my last 2 sets of weighted sit ups because some noobs were using the decline bench. And I hate working my abs, I have good abs anyways, not like my abs are gonna show during a bulk.

So.. Thoughts?

double overhand is a pronated grip and double underhand is a pronated grip. If i were you, i would stick to pronated.

You can try other exercises like planks, russian twists, v-ups, renegade rows, and more!

So.. Thoughts?

Good job. I take it you did 5 reps on each set? Also, how is your diet?

 

[z66x]

Yeah Monday and Wednesday all sets are 5 reps and on Friday the last two sets are different.

I think my diet is okay, I don't really keep track I just eat a lot so that I can feel like I've covered enough. Here's what I ate today:

4 Eggs and a glass of milk (I was running late)
2 egg salad sandwiches and a sugar free juicebox
1 big bowl of brown rice and a glass of milk
2 pieces of salmon, 2 servings of white rice (quite a bit of rice) 1 serving of vegetables, and then I just had a bowl of ice cream.. lol.

So where you in bold said that double over hand rows and underhand, you actually said both are pronated haha so I don't know which one is pronated. ill just look it up

Edit: okay so stick with double over-hand. Yeah I like it alot better.

try to eat more... im assuming that because you are 16 you arr at school... so it is hard to get a lot of big meals in... but you could definately benifit from more food because the diet youre on will only get you so far...

if you dont like hypers... try goodmornings... definately one of my favorites...

Yeah good mornings are great, they helped my deadlifts a lot and you really feel it in the low back. Definitely recommended over hypers.

 

[z66x]

okay i'll switch to good mornings.

Day 2, Week 1, April 14 2010

Weight=145.6 (I was 146 but then I went to the washroom lol.)

On Military Presses I messed up the weight, so in italics is what's going to be what the weight was supposed to be.

Squatsx5:
1x65
1x85
1x100
1x100

Military Pressx5:
1x45
1x55 (50)
1x65 (60)
1x70

Deadliftx5:
1x100
1x120
1x140
1x160

SKIPPED SITUPS

Notes:
It was an okay day today, pretty quick.. Squats went fine, Military Presses went fine, I did more weight than I was supposed to but it shouldn't really matter that much if I only did it once. Deadlift went good, 160 felt light. I skipped situps because I really dont care for situps, I just plan on losing weight to get those abs rippled. Honestly Ive done enough situps to have bigger abs than arnold (HUGE EXAGGERATION) So yeah.

Diet:
Breakfast: Turkey Bacon Club Sandwich, Fruit explosion muffin, and a large milk

Lunch: 2 sandwiches (One i ate after my workout) and a sugar free juice

Dinner: Ive yet to eat dinner now. hopefully chicken.

Wow your training is looking good, but damn your diet needs work bro. Breakfast is definitely good compared to most people, but you need at least 1 meal more between breakfast and lunch, and another between lunch and dinner. You should be getting 6 meals a day minimum. The situps aren't for ripped abs by the way, they are solely for core strength. But if you don't like them go ahead and drop them, I dropped hypers and situps a couple weeks after starting the routine.

 

[z66x]

I know my diet is crap, I'm finding it hard to have meals while at school. I'm really lazy so I don't make things for myself usually.. I'm hoping to start eating more soon. And really? Training looks good?
