      Doing good brotha, keep it up. I am just now finally getting the drive to push it over the edge and do it when I dont feel like it.

      3/11/12 leg day

      so today we hit it pretty hard.....my legs are really feeling it and im sure in the next few days it will be even worse....but im ok with that....if theres no pain then you just must not be hittin it hard enough haha

      warmup leg extensions- 3- 12 @ 60lbs

      squats- 2 warmup sets of 10, 12 reps-225, 12-275, 10-315, 7- 365
      1 leg squats on the smith- 3 sets of 8 with just 25 lbs....shit sounds light but was hard as hell
      deadlift- 3-315, 3-365, 1- 405, 1-405
      super set leg extensions and lying leg curls
      leg ext.- 12-195, 10-210, 12-240, 10-255, 8- 280
      lying leg curls- 12-70, 12-100, 10-110, 10-110 , 8- 130
      seated calves- 3 sets of 12 with 90 lbs

      with the sets on deadlifts went heavier since we dealift twice a week and the first time is more for volume this time more for power....405 is a personal best so im pretty happy with that...FOR NOW...also with the leg extensions also another personal best as i had to add a 25 to the stack since the machine only went to 255....overal another great training session...im pleased with how they have been going and feel like im headed in the right direction!... have a great rest of your day animal nation!!

      3/12/12 chest and tris

      so had a shitty ass day at work but my workout was another good one. i can always count on my workouts to bring my spirits back up. on another positive note i gained another couple pounds so thats plus.

      flat db's - 2 warmup sets, 10 reps- 80lb, 10-80, 10-80, 9-80, 8-90
      decline hammer strength machine- 3 sets of 10 with 3 plates a side and last set a set of 10 with 3 plates and a quarter a side
      flat flys- 3 sets of 10 with 45's
      low cable crossover- 3 sets of 15 with 35 lbs

      pushdowns- 3 sets of 20 with 96lbs
      v bar- 10-144, 10- 156, 8-168, 18- 96
      finish with bodyweight dips 3 sets of 12

      another pretty solid workout could have been better if my partner wouldnt have fallen asleep and not showed up but it is what it is..... concentrated more on form today more than anything and just getting quality reps...

      tomorrow is back and bi day cant wait already hope everyone had a great day and see you tomorrow
