Rules Log of Death

[Rules]

I'm startin a new routine (with some guidance from PullinBig). I took the last 4 days off from liftin. This is the 1st day... I don't have a workout partner yet appearently Squats at 7AM doesn't appeal to most.

Weight:
148

Squat:
255x5
255x2

Leg Press:
4(45)+25x5
4(45)+25x4

Calve Raises:
6(45)+25x5
6(45)+25x5

Overall the volume was super low... I don't feel the full body tiredness or drain I used to get from my super overtraining volume workout but I sure as shit can't lift anymore leg today.

[Rules]

OK got a workout partner, he is pretty good at spotting. Had to modify the recomended workout to fit what my gym has... ie no weighted dips and no decline.

Weight:
148

Wide Grip Bench:
185x6
185x4+(2 assisted)

Incline Medium Grip:
125x6
125x5+(1 assisted)

Skull Crushers:
35x10
35x4+(2 assisted)

Upright Row:
35x8+(2 cheat)
35x6+(4 really cheat)

Overall feelin good. Think I would like to add somthing like military press to this day but I will go with this for now.

[Rules]

Weight:
147

Deads:
245x5
245x5

Bent over Wide Grip Row:

135x4

Narrow Reverse Grip Pulldown:
110x8
110x6

Wide Grip Barbell Curl:
85x4 (1 assisted)
85x4 (2 assisted)

Overall feelin dead. Dead lifts first really makes the other back work awsome... I changed the number of reps for the work sets on curls to suit my personal experience, seems about right. I will be hurting tommorow

[Rules]

Weight:
147

Squat:

Leg Press:

Seated Calve Raises:
2(45)+25x15
2(45)+25x15

Sweet, I made my reps at 255!! although I felt it in my back really strong on the last 2 reps wich probably means I fell forward somthing fierce... Still I think I am good to go up. I think I like the 5 rep leg press better, so I will do that next week. All in all a decent day.

Upright Row:

Well I made my bench reps!!! woo hooo!!! Up I go, I think I'll give 195 a try as opposed to just going up 5lbs. Tons of little ****ers in the gym today (the row team) so I was all distracted during my first bench work set, but I came back strong. Man I hate the row team, thier coach is like 5'11" and 115lbs, never touched a weight in his life and he is giving advice on how to do SLDLs with a belt? On a sad note I think I pulled my bicep (where it inserts to the forarm) but I am not sure how. All I know is it hurts like a mofo but i think it will be better for Thursday.

Today my form sucked Donkey shit... my back was slightly round for the Dead lifts, i was slightly more upright than i like to be for rows, and my last 2 curls were a bit questionable in form. Oh well thats what you get for jumping up in weight. Next week baby, yeah!!

[Rules]

Fighting off a bit of a pull in my left bicep... its really suckin but I have an off week scheduled for ThanksGiving. Tough workout with the move up in weight. Hands kept slippin out while doing wide grip bench, need chalk or a less wide grip. All in all feelin big.. @150 lbs.

Again Back was slightly round on Deads, but they felt much better. Probably won't go up in weight till I fix the form at this weight. Bent over row was awsome, up I go!! Curls were disappointing but with the increases in pull down weight it seem reasonable. I'll nail it next week.

Stupid me, I forgot that bench was a 6 rep exercise... I think I could have made the reps the first time. I'm starting to get concerned about the skull crushers moving down in weight, although I still think it's cause of the move up in bench reps.

Took forever between sets cause I was very close to pukin, form on squat was awsome up till last set where it totaly fell apart.

What a shit day... excuse me while I cry like a baby but I feel fat and I'm a shit load weaker than when I took my vacation. I'm not sure what this loss in strength after a week off means about my body but I think it has to do with a fast recovery time. Oh well curls were disapointing, deads where not perfect form. Plus no breakfast due to a power outage screwing my alarm Enough

No Focus on 1st work set of squat, but the form felt good and the depth was decent... I may go back down to 225 and work on form, I intend to post vids of my lift next week so dependent on how bad the form looks (and the reviews are) will determin if I drop down in weight.

Hmmmm... why did I bench 190? How do you get 190 on a bar? Did I use 2 1/2 lb plates? Nope, my **** up of a lifting partner didn't put on the correct weight... that pretty much set the tone for the workout. This guy needs to chill the **** out, always runnin around runnin off to do curls or some bull shit when he should be spotting, ****in spots suck now to... now when I am failing he just grabs the bar and trys to lift it for me. Damn I had a talk with him today but he just doen't get it. I am really ****in pissed. Can i swear in this thread? does anyone actually read this thread? **** ****idy **** **** ****, whats the big ****in deal. ****!!

OK I made my reps on flat bench, thats awsome. I've got a lot of pain in my left elbow where the tri attaches in the back and where the bi attaches in the front, along with some pain in my forearm... total bummer. I think it stems from the wider grip I have been using for bench.

Again no spotter, which means again no vids So deads were strong, same with rows... I think I'll move up on Curl but stick on row and dead till i get some vids up so my form can be corrected. Also I weight 152 yeah thats right 152, I need to add some cardio. The cycle in weight from monday to thursday is clearly diet, I need to work on my diet over the weekend.

Totally changed my form on squat, felt really good... however I totaly failed on my weight. I'd rather have good form and lift lower weights so I'm happy. I still need a vid to check depth but we had a bad snow storm and liftin partner didn't make it till 35 min late

[pullinbig]
