Since I've been preparing for Police Academy I've really slacked on my back and leg days. I rarely do squats or deadlifts.

Went in today and warmed up with a 12 minute jog on the tread mill. According to the little clock deal on it I ran 1.1 miles in 12. I need to be able to run 1.5 in 11:58 before May. Running has never been my strong suit.

Lat Pulldowns --- I do these about every way imaginable (Underhand, closegrip, wide grip, and moderate)
175x8...190x8...205x8...190x8...145x8...145x8...14 5x8...145x8

Seated Row Machine --- I also mix these up on how I grip the handles.

DB Rows
100x8..100x8..100x8..100x8

Behind the Back Shrugs on Smith
185x12...225x10...275x8...135x20

Also got some crunches in towards the end.

Just when I get over the cold swollen throat bullshit I develop a goddamn rash all over. Its covering my hands. Once this shit is over I'm gonna tear it up in the gym.

Went in and got the bi's and tri's swole. Hit them for about 45-50 minutes. Hardly paid attention to how much weight was moving or for how many weights. Simply focused on getting my swell on. Arms are still sore and its been 4 hrs. I think I might hafta workout this way more often.

So much shit going on in my life. So many people I hate. People who have looked past me my whole life. Often times as if I'm not even fucking there. Its the shit like this that kept me up after 2:00 am and back up at 5:30. I tried to go back to sleep. try to get at least 5 or 6 hours of half assed sleep. But my adrenaline's flowing already...fuck it...time to shred the shoulders.

When I'm there it's bout the only time I truly "relax". Thats why I don't give a fuck about "overtraining". I'm in the gym every day. Sometimes twice a day to get some extra cardio in. I've hit most of my PR's on some real shitty days. So, I hate to miss a day because I didnt feel like going to the gym.

smith06
11-25-08, 12:56 pm
This weather changing bullshit has been the worst on me that I can remember. I think its nature way of testing me. I usually dont get sick but these last two months have absolutely fucked me up.

Anyway, I had a great chest day yesterday. Reached my goals for the day. Went in today and had a pretty decent arms day, didnt quite get everything done that I woulda liked but got a great pump and wore myself out so it was pretty successful. I'm weighing in around 235 now. My goal is to be 225 in may so I'm lighter for the run for academy. After passing the PT test it's time to blow the fuck up.

smith06
12-04-08, 12:55 pm
Re cooperation from thanksgiving is finally over. lol. Had some pretty good lifts this week. Although my diet is far from good. Still working on that goddamn run. Getting better but far from good also.

Went in to get a back pump. I have PT class tonite so I didn't wanna over due it. Last time I hit back I had cramps in my lats all nite..lol.

Hit 5 sets on the lat pulldown and 5 sets of DB rows. Knocked them out real fast though.

I can't fucking wait to be done with my academy so I can lift some fucking weight for real.

smith06
03-04-09, 12:16 pm
Took it easy yesterday so I could bust ass on my run in academy. Went to school and we didn't even run. But, we are supposed to tonite. So, I'm going to take today off from the gym completely. Tonite is the last nite of PT class and our instructor wants us fresh so he can see where we stand.

Hopefully, I improved on my 1.5 mile time. That motherfucker sucks.

smith06
03-04-09, 11:21 pm

The Classic was great. Great to see some of ya. The guy I drove with was wore out too early so we didn't get to hit up the ABC... I was kinda pissed.

I'm starting a cut today. I'd like to lose between 10-15 pounds before April 15th. Shouldn't be that hard for me. I'm also going to be trying to run everyday so I can get my run down.

Thanks bro! She was 94 and had been doing pretty shitty towards the end. She's alot better off now.

I helped a buddy do a roof on wednesday and the humidity damn near killed me. I let the worksite early with terrible cramps. I could't shake them and they got worse. I ended up spendig a couple hours in the ER and got 2 liters of fluid pumped into me. So, I took thursday off. Went in today and hit the arms. I was still very weak, but got a pump anyway. Taking tomorrow off to go with the girlfriend to a family get together. But I'll be doing some ME bench work Sunday morning with Mike Wolfe (yes the former 800 pound bencher).

I hit legs today... the first time in forever. I hit 4 sets of leg presses. 4 sets of leg extensions and 6 sets of leg curls. I hit 4 sets of calf raises and a set of seated calf raises.

I know this is a pretty weak workout, but I need to ease myself into legs and heavy back workouts.

firsthorseman97
06-23-09, 6:19 am
First time ever!?! I'd call you a beach boy if I didn't know better! You'll be feelin' that leg day in the morning. Don't worry though, it'll get worse. LMAO!

smith06
06-24-09, 10:46 am
Haha.. not my first time ever.. It's just been awhile since I hit them. I hadn't hit legs the entire time I was in the police academy. Hit them once afterwards and strained my calf. So it'd just been hard getting back into a good routine. They will be in there from here on out.

Gonna do some bench speed work today around 4. I'll let ya'll know how this goes. I've never used bands, boards, or chains. Hopefully these new westside methods wil get me up and over 4 pretty quick.

smith06
06-25-09, 1:07 am
Did eight sets of 3 with 185. As fast as possible. Than hit 3 sets of ten of tricep DB presses (75,80,85) 3 sets of ten of tricep pressdowns and a set of 25 on the pec deck.

I'm not use to this lower rep and lower volume stuff. I barely got a pump going. But, I'm being coached by a world class bench presser so I'll listen.

smith06
10-16-09, 3:16 pm
Been away from here fopr awhile now.. Been working on my deadlift. I'm up to 470.. I've missed 505 and 500.

But hit 455 x3 yesterday.

Went in to get a shoulder pump today. Did some cable lat raises, upright, seated DB shrugs, DB lat raises, and read delt machine.

Today's soundtrack... Hank 3.. some sad old sounding country to mix it up..lol.

It's off to work for me.

smith06
11-04-09, 1:03 am
Had a huge set back at work.. f'd my leg up pretty bad.. it was rough walking for a few days so I decided to take it easy..

Went in on Monday and blew the shoulders up.. felt pretty good.

Did some rack pull singles up to 515 today. Hit 6 sets of lat pulls. and 4 set of T-Bar Rows.

Finished up with some curls to get some blood to the bi's.

Nice work man! What are Tricep Presses? How do you do them?

U lay on a flat bench just like you would with DB Bench press. But instead of flaring your elbows like a normal DB bench you keep your elbows tucked in tight to your side. This focuses on the tri's and helps with keeping your elbows tucked on the bench press.

I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!!!

Yesterday's workout consisted of tons on turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie and cheesecake!! lol

I went in today around noon to do a shoulder workout.

Seated militaries
45x8--45x8---95x12--135x12--185x10--205x8--225x6

Upright Rows on smith
95x12 (At this time my shoulder started aching so I slowed down)

Seated DB shrugs
110x10x4

Figured it wouldn't hurt to get some blood to the bi's so I started with the chincy barbells..and tried to do sets of ten with all of them..lol.. I got the 10lb'er 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 100lb'ers... I think this might be a side goal for me.. to be able to do a mega set with all 10 bars.

I'm following the All World Deadlift program for 18 weeks. see how well it goes.. hopeully it will get me to 550+... than I might run it again.. or find a different strength cycle. But My ultimate goal is also a 600 raw dead (and a 450 bench). After that I may start wearing gear.

135--225--275--315--345--370x3(with a bump on 3) 370x3 (#2 and #3 were helped)

We had a shirt laying around that actually fit me.. so I gave into the dark side for the first time

315 off a 4 board---385 off a 3 board---405 (2 board, 1 board, and off the chest)

So I hit a legit 405 the first time being in a shirt.. blew a vein in my arm that freaked me out...and several vessels... I don't know if ill be using it much.

The MOST EFFECTIVE shrug for gaining size to your traps is BEHIND THE BACK BB SHRUGS, PERIOD. Another thing, too many people in the gym load up the BB and use mproper form to get the bar up. Leave your ego at the door and put on a manageable weigh and have strict form, you will see DRAMATIC Gains in a couple weeks. I use 185 when I do it and it works great. GL

Seated DB shrugs work just as well if not better than behind the back BB (Isolation). I overload the BB and throw form out the door (If it moves its a rep). I can do sets of 20 with 185 with proper form and never get a forearm pump. I'm hitting these heavy shrugs to help my lockout and grip strength for deadlifting.

I hate them... with a burning passion. We have a strength cycle we are following as a team or else I probably wouldn't even do them. I don't come close to catching a pump while doing them or the day of. I was pretty tight the day after though. They feel awkward to me bro.

Best thing I can say is throw them in on chest day and try 'em. To each his own. I'd hate to tell ya to avoid them, cuz u never really know how someone elses body will react.

It was great to meet people at the Arnold. The cage was awesome as always. My Training session Friday night with G, AA, and arsilva was great.

I hit 385 with a slight bump from G... Finished with some heavy incline machine, BW dips, and pec flyes.

The ABC Saturday night was absolutely insane!! I would still like to get a head count for it.

I went up to 585 on low rack pulls.. but the weight came off the bar.. I did get 570 clean which is a PR.. Me and machineman hit some other back movements and finished off with some shoulder work.

Got some great pointers from G and Big Al on rear delts, that were worth the trip to Columbus in themself.

Blew it up.. 3 100 lb. plates per side..and 4 45 lb plates to the end. Did some SLDL's and sumo style. Finished with some seated calf raises and had a hard time walking.

Hoping to be back at it tomorrow.
