Jays Pump/Torrent Log

[Jaymafin]

This will be my log for the next 15 workouts. I am currently cutting so i will be interested to see what the effects of this stack will be. The torrent fits right into my calorie plan so only a little adjustment was required.

starting weight is 214.5

big three: squat 245x6
dead 315x6
bench 115DBx4 (i havent straight bar benched in a long time but if A Rep wants me to I will)

current supps-pak, flex, eaa stack, vit c and e, omega complex, whey, glutamine.

[widdlewade44]

Looks good bro, I'm looking forward to seeing how this works out for you. Good luck, peace.

yesterday was shoulders. it really was a game time decision for me to go. i still felt like shit with the basic cold symptoms. i snuck out to my truck at my lunch break and grabbed a nap so that helped and the 800mg of advil for the headache.

warmup and stretch

bb shoulder press-95x15 135x10 155x10 175x8 135x10
smith standing behind the head presses-25sx10 35sx10 45sx10 45sx7 drop set 25sx10
arnold presses(never done these)-40x10 45x10 50x8 drop set 35x5
bb upright rows (light with a prolonged contraction) 10sx15 20sx10 25sx10 10sx15
medial raises 20x12 25x10 30x8 drop set 15x5 20x10
incline rear delt raises 15x12 20x12 25x10 30x10
DB shrugs 80x10 90x10 100x10 supersetted with seated incline shrugs to failure (i didnt write down numbers for the seated incline shrugs weight was 50db)
standing cable shrugs 100x10 125x10 155x10 110x10 (never done these)

i just got the Kelso shrug book so we experimented with some of the techniques. they felt awesome and i recommend this book to everyone who wants to improve the entire trapezius region.

when it was all said and done i felt like i stole the workout considering how i felt earlier in the day. i felt great at the gym and i felt like i got a great workout. i still feel a little under the weather today but 10 times better than at this point yesterday.

Hope you're feeling better man.

thanks bro i feel like i am on the ass end of it but not 100% yet.

[Jaymafin]

Well finally i am back. I obviously had a major setback over the weekend. I ended up getting a sinus infection and didnt get it treated until tuesday because i had to work all weekend. I was blowing chunks of blood out of my nose, had to squint my eyes from the headache, couldnt change my head elevation once i got settled. it felt like after you get a broken nose re-set, the throbbing pain afterwards.......for four days. so enough about me being a bitch. i was back in the gym last night and i have a lot to make up. I hit back last night didnt write anything down. my energy and strength levels were WAY down. looking to bounce back today. I am eating a ton of food to get the glycogen fully restored. i will post tonights workout in the morning.

all i got to say is give thanks for your health. sometimes i take it for granted and then karma kicks in.

[musclealchemist]

you prolly will come back even stronger than before, its strange how the body works sometimes.

i hear you on those lunges bro, they are hard and hurt like hell, but i find they help tear up my legs. Your workouts are looking good bro.

[hicks92]

man you're kicken ass on the workouts good job keep up the good work

[widdlewade44]

Nice looking work Jaymafin, especially with sinus problems, no computer, etc.

Slow and steady bro, lots of fluids and keep hitting your weights steadily and hard. Good luck, peace.

[Jaymafin]

I appreciate the good words brothers. As they say just trying to put anothr brick in the wall.

[Jaymafin]

some general notes on things i have noticed of late. i am not getting sore anymore. my legs feel fatigued the next day but not sore. i feel recovered the next morning so i decided to up the anty with the training a little bit. i experimented with hitting chest and bis twice a week since these were my weak points. i have had awesome results over the last two months. i have decided to hit everything but legs twice a week to start. then see how i feel and throw in legs again on saturday. risky i know but i cant argue with the results. i have upped the calories as well. i run everyday either at lunch or in the morning if i get up. i also do 20-30 minutes of cardio after i lift depending on how much time i have. i figure i will give this two months and if it goes well and i feel good push it out to three months. that will bring me to mid august about 2 weeks out from my mass gain stage.
i get really excited to get to the gym. i am always excited to go but more so than usual. i am like a panting fucking dog on the drive from work.
minus the sinus infection this is the best i have ever felt and looked. i aways say to my WO partner these are the best times of our life. i really love this shit and wouldnt trade a minute of it for anything.

This w/o seems to be improved from the last legs session; the SM front squats increased in weight.

Your weights on the back squat look good; you want more weight? Is that your frustration? Time will help; sounds like you've got the form down; I might skip the 155lbs x 10 and bang out more reps at 185lbs.

On another legs' workout try banging out 20-25 reps at 155lbs.

Other ideas I have used in the past (that have broken through plateaus) are, pick a weight you can do 10 times (no more then 11-12 reps) and do 20 reps. No matter what. DEFINITELY be in the power rack and have a spotter if you try this.

Good luck bro, peace.

Last night was probably one of the best gym days i have ever had. it started off slow but when the dust settled i ended up with 2 PRs and 3 compliments from three respectable people. i certainly do this for me and only me but we all know it is nice when people recognize you for you hardwork and dedication.

Monday Chest/biceps

-DB incline-55x10 70x10 80x10 100x10 105x8 110x7 80x10-110 is a PR for me and finally my upper chest has caught up with the rest of my chest as it used to be a weakpoint.
-weighted dips- body x12 25x10 45x10 70x10 body x15
-incline cable flys-40x10 50x10 70x10 70x8 drop set 40xfailure
-decline machine flys-110x10 135x10 150x10 165x10

biceps
-BB curl-85x10 105x10 125x8 145x4 drop set 85x10- 145 is a PR for me and the drop set to 85 was the single most painful bicep set i have ever done. i thought i was going to throw up.
-DB preacher-30x10 40x10 50x10drop set 25xfailure
-DB hammers 50x10 55x10 60x7 45x10

[widdlewade44]

Congrats on the PRs and it looks like you're kicking it and taking names! Keep going strong. Peace.

i was beat by the end of tris. in total it took us 2 hours to complete. thats a half hour longer than usual. skipped cardio since i ran earlier in the day and i was totally fried.

[Jaymafin]

according to this whole thing i should have three servings of torrent left which would close me out for the HMS journey. i am gonna buy another bucket of torrent so i can finish off the can of pump and run this thread longer.

thats it there are my 15 workouts. i dont know what the numbers are havent looked yet, but i do know this is the best ive looked in a long time. i know the torrent helps me recover better than just waxx maize/EAA. i felt good pumps all the way around i especially love when my lats feel like they are filling up my armpits. unfortunately Universal has made me feel like torrent is the best thing out there for my recovery but its mad expensive.

[Jaymafin]

i looked at my numbers and here is the comparison.
DB press before 115x4
now 115x5
what has made the biggest jump is incline which wasnt asked to be recorded but i hit a PR on it which makes me very happy since it is a weakpoint for me.

deads before 315x6
now i hit 315x6 with a drop set that i could not do before.

squats before 245x4
now i am having squat issues and i am trying to work them out. my legs are stronger in every other excercise so i dont care really what the squat number is.my legs are looking more cut and they are stronger so you do the math. not the most impressive numbers on my part but what cant be measured is the recovery. i feel like i am just getting warmed up and now its over, but i bought another bucket of torrent to make it a solid month. so we will see at the end of the month.
