      9/16/10 Back

      Trained back this evening. I had a few things come up this AM, thus I was forced to knock training back rather late tonight. Here's how it went down.

      Low Rows 4 x 12
      Reverse Grip Pulldowns 4 x 12
      Cybex Machine Row 3 x 12
      Chest Supported T-Bar Rows 3 x 12
      Deadlifts 4 x 5
      Bent Over Barbell Rows 4 x 10-12

      Deadlifts fuckin blew tonight. For some reason, my last two sets felt like the bar was super-glued to the gym floor, and I was pulling that instead of 405. My head was pounding after that, so needless to say I'm feeling like shit lol. But that's okay, no complaints here. Nothing special pre-workout, just a pak of Nitro. Did my 3-4 scoops Real Gains and natty chunky PB at the end with another pak of Nitro and a pak of Flex.

      A Little R&R

      I took the weekend off from training, and was it ever needed. I'm about to head to bed, and my body is feeling pretty good. I'll be training legs tomorrow, so I'll need to be on top of my game, but that goes without saying. It's time to get my mind right, go over my workout in my head, and then wehn 9 am hits, go get it. Her's what I'm thinking of for tomorrow...

      10 x 10-12 Squats
      5 X 12-20 on Leg press
      Hack Squat/Front Squat Super Set 3 x 12-15
      RDL's 4 x 12
      Quad and Ham isolation work

      I usually do a run down of different lifts and what not in my head before going in to lift the day before, and what ever seems to entice me the most, I'll roll with. I'm excited tos ee what tomorrow's workout brings. It'll be another test, that's for damn sure.

      Until tomorrow, goodnight FORVM. I'll post my workout when I'm finished.

      The body felt pretty good going into this, but after squats, I hit one hellacious wall lol.

      Did legs today, and here's what the workout consisted of:

      Quad Ext's 3 x 20 (warm up)
      Squats 7 x 10-12
      Leg Press 4 x 20, 15, 12, 10....a double dropset of 30 reps each insued immediately
      RDL's 3 x 10
      Quad Ext's (Working Sets) 3 x 15, 1 x 20 partial reps
      Lying Hams 4 x 12
      Leg Press Calves 6 x 20
      Seated Calves 6 x 20

      Didn't make it to front squats today. My quads were pumped as a mother, so I figured no need to do so. The partial reps though, holy shit. If you think they;re garbage, go do them immediately after you finish your working sets, I promise it will set your quads on fire. Nice little tip I picked up from Neil Hill lol. I'll be hitting chest tomorrow AM, but for now it's back to teh grind, exams are all this week and next.....no rest for the wicked, right???

      9/24/10 Back & Biceps

      So, I decided to take most of the week off from training, body felt a little run down with all the late nights and early mornings that come alone with college, so I rested Tuesday - Thursday, and it sure felt good when I hit the gym yesterday.

      Low Rows 4 x 12
      Wide Grip Pulldowns 4 x 12
      Chest Supp. T-Bar Rows 3 x 12, triple dropset at the end
      Rack Deadlifts 135 x 10, 225 x 10, 315 x 10, 405 x 10, 500 x 5
      Bent Over Rows 4 x 12-15
      Wide Bar Pullovers 3 x 12

      Alt. DB Curls 3 x 12 each arm
      Standing Str. Bar Curls 4 x 12

      Pre-Workout: 1 pak Nitro, 1 pak Pump
      Post Workout: 3 Scoops Torrent, Glutamine, Vitamin E, and 1 Pak Nitro

      All in all, a good workout. Felt nice and strong thru everything yesterday. Today's chest and triceps, I'll post back later.
