Angel's workouts

[jac71]

I have decided to begin to log my workouts on here. Any input is welcome gents and ladies.


Today July 19 (back day)
Didn't feel too good going into the gym, maybe because I had to get up at 2am to work and didn't get to bed till 5am. I have noticed though that my best workouts are when I am not feeling up to it.

Deads
135 (warmup)
225x12
285x10 (w/straps)
315x6x2 (w/straps)
I haven't been deadlifting for too long only about 2 to 3 months, sill trying to find my grip/foot position when I feel comfortable doing these i will start to up the weight..so some days are great and some are not so great!!

T-bar Rows (on the bb with one and on a corner)
3plastesx12
3pl+25 for 10
4plx8

Lat pull down cable machine
150x12
162x10
175x8
200x4

Iso machine (low row)
2pl/side x 12
2pl+25/side x 10
3pl/side x 8
3pl +25/side x 6

Very short rest between all sets and exercises, had to get in and out in less than an hour, mission accomplished. Back feels tight and tired.

July 20 Chest Day
Felt pretty good before heading to the gym, so I figured I'd give the flat bench a try and see if my shoulder acts up...this is how it went!!!

Incline BB press
warmup 135x12 and with some rotator cuff movements.
185x10
205x8
225x6
135 to failure

Flat BB press, didn't want to go to heavy but did it more for the feel and see if my shoulder would act up
135x12
185x10
185x8
felt pretty good just a bit of discomfort but didn't want to push it too much.
I also notice that my rotator cuff is doing much better since I wasn't shaking too much. I'll start uping the weight on the next work out and see how it feels.

DB incline fly's
35x12
45x12
55x10

Cable crossover machine was busy, didn't want to wait or work in so I moved on to DB pullovers

162x10
175x10

BigAnt IS the man.

[jac71]

BigAnt IS the man.

Yes he is bro....I just haven't seen any other place where you have PRO's helping out and are available as much as the guys here at animalpak.

On a side not I ran into a guy today that I hadn't seen in about 6 months and he walked over and asked me what I was doing cus I looked like I put some mass. I told him yes I have put on about 40lbs since we last talked, the conversation than turned to sups and the dude has been on the Pak for 5yrs! that was totally awesome

[jac71]

My plans to go to the gym this evening were wiped since I got called into work and am going on my 14hr. At least I got my 30mins of cardio at 11am today.
So tomorrow i'm just going to have to get back on track and hit the back...deads here I come. Work is usually the reason why I don't have a set routine. Sometimes it can really suck but gotta have a job

[jac71]

shoulder is comin along pretty good bro, thanks for asking!!! It's been a little sore but that's it no pain/discomfort anymore for a few days. It was pretty bad when I did bb flat bench and that was the only time it bothered me.
walking the dog is a routine now twice a day we do hour 2 mile walks...keeps him active and wears him out.

[jac71]

friday 7/27

Had an ok back workout today, decided to really concentrate on my DL form. Didn't go too heavy or too many reps, but instead got in a corner on the gym where I was surrounded by mirrors so I can really look to see my form. It worked pretty well, found out I was lifting my ass a little to quick when doing my Deads which in turn makes me go forward and push with balls of my feet. So I worked on really concentrating on the lift itself and try to correct what I'm doing wrong.
Here's the lifts!!

DL
All sets were done very slow
135x12 very slow
225x8
275x8
315x6

BB bent over row
135x12
185x10
225x8
245x6

low pulley row
150x12
170x10
200x6 drops to 180,140 and 100 all drops were done to failure, the 100 was harder to do than the 200.

wide grip lat pulldowns
150x12
170x10
200x8 with a drop to 100 and rep'd out
I'm pretty beat as I didn't rest more than 45s between sets.

She is 7, we got her as an 8 week old pup. Tahoe schooled her well.


I love Huskys, may get another one someday. We all are gone so much in the day that I don't think it would be fair to get a dog now.

I hear you brotha, I'm always out with Bandit and people are always telling me that he is a lucky dog that I must really love him. I do but I also have to be a responsible dog owner and there's a lot of people out there that shouldn't own any dogs.

True that. They are not just an object, they are a responsibility and part of the family and should be treated as such.

[Lowdown5]

Bro, that is the way to blast those muscles into submission. Eat up and get some rest, you earned it.

I believe that. Tahoe was the most well behaved dog, but when he wanted to run there was no stopping him, ever.

Off day today, worked till 4am and with very little sleep I decided to just chill and get back at it tomorrow.

I've been on my cut diet for the past 2 weeks and I'm starting to feel the effects, not bad so far, the only thing I've noticed is that I get hungry about 30min after I eat. Started to cut after putting on about 40lbs, started bulking at 195lbs w/12-14% bf and got up to 235 w/16-18% bf in about 6 months. So far I have lost about 5lbs in 2 weeks. Stay tuned and will post my bodyweight progress periodically.

Hint from a guy who knows how hard a diet can be, eat slower. Real slow. Put your fork down between bites. Water is a great thing like you said.

It's going pretty good bro..dropping about 2lbs a week. The only thing is that I'm getting little hungry about 30mins to an 1hr after eating.

On a side note, no baby yet..she was due Sunday and went to the hospital with contractions today early in the morning. It's their first one so this might be one of those long laboriuos labors, idk.

How is Bandit Bro, forgot to ask.

It was hot and humid today so I had to take him out after I got back from my wheels session...and that was a big mistake!! He's pretty happy now since we went for our walk.
How is Lucy bro, I never ask...sorry about that! Start the new job yet?

hey juan pedro

how's the diet bro?
did u find a way to not feel hungry yet?

[jac71]

hey juan pedro

how's the diet bro?
did u find a way to not feel hungry yet?

hey Will or is it Memo? lol!! anybody ever call you that?

bro, sometimes I feel hungry and sometimes I don't...I just think it's my body adjusting to the dieting.
In the past I have just gotten used to it and I would use a cheat meal once a week on my leg or back day...the way i saw it is it gave me incentive to diet good until the cheat day....this time I might use a cheat meal once every 2 weeks and eventually get rid of the cheat meal.

i think i am gettin used to it two about 20 minutes away from my second meal
and i am not hungry at all

yesterday after meal 5 i went for a walk so i could forgot about my hunger LOL

in my case i will try not to cheat

but who knows i probably cheat after my first cycle of animal cuts
and about the will or memo

well call me how ever u like it bro ;)

no one called me memo before

LOL...was just wondering about the name bro...but anyway, I have used a cheat meal in the past and it has worked for me, but I'm also thinking about just gettin rid of it all together.
One of the things that also worked for me is to chew on some sugarless gum right when you start getting hungry.
But yeah getting your mind off of food by going for a walk is a good thing, anything if it works and doesn't derail you from your plan is a good thing bro.
This is the part of this game where you will really get to know yourself and that is a big part of this journey

8/16 off day
Had to go see my brand new baby nephew, the little guy came in at 20 inches and 7lbs. He won't be released from the hospital at least until tomorrow, apparently during birth he swallowed some fluid and has to stay for monitoring, the doctors are also monitoring his blood, I'm not sure what or why. All seems to be good though but he's being kept in for precautionary purposes. Hopefully him, mom and dad can be home soon.

[Lowdown5]

Cool that you got to see the new nephew. Good that the hospital is taking precautions, better to be careful.

[jac71]
