This might be corny, but..
When I step into the gym and see the dumbells against the walls, the cable machine, and the various other equipment, I get a rush that stays with me until the next time I enter the gym. Every time I go, it gets stronger and stronger. When I've had "a day" and I walk into the gym, it feels as if it's all gone and it's only me. The reason I titled it "Isolation Nation" is because often times I work out alone. Often, anyways. Me and a few guys who are regulars are all on generally the same mission. Strength, Size, and the feeling of general accomplishment. I think bodybuilding provides that because it lets you see your hard work and progress. Anyways, aside from the feelings, LETS GET TO TRAINING.
Like Timothy Leary (cept for me). PLUG IN, LIFT HARD, TUNE OUT.
__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
Stats: 5'7 142-144 pounds, 8% bodyfat, 16 years old..
Like most people, my goal is to build more muscle, gain strength, and someday compete. I'm currently on a split of chest-tri, back-bi, shoulders-legs and abs accordingly.
Today was chest-tri
Sets: Flat bench-warm up 135x8 2 sets
150x8 1 set
160x8 1 set
(I definately could've gone up lol, but I was pressed for time and wanted to get some other shit done other than flat bench. I wish my bench was higher though, the most I've ever maxed was 205x4)
Decline: DB press on decline bench 55x8 2 sets
Incline: Barbell 135x8 2 sets
145x8 2 sets
DB press flatbench (weird order I know): 50x8 2 sets
55x8 2 sets
DB flies: 35x8 2 sets
Fly Machine: 160x8 1 set
140x16 1 set (closer set)
Tricep:
Rope pull-downs: warm up set 80x12 1 set
100x8 1 set
v-bar pulldowns: 120x8 2 sets
140x8 2 sets
Isolation pull-downs: 50x8 2 sets
Tricep kickbacks: 25 DBx8 2 sets
(I wanted to do skullcrushers ealier, but the only appropriate bar was taken. It was originally supposed to be my second tri exercise.)
Skullcrushers: Whatever the standard preacher curl bar weighs + 50 2 sets + close-grip tri pressed for 12 on each set.
I know that the order and shit in which I work out is a bit funny, but whatever it was a weird day lol. It will improve tomorrow :P:P.
