Danny's Workout Log


Recommended Posts

  • 4 weeks later...

After hanging out the last 2 weeks in DC with my gurlfriend I'm back...!

I did workout in DC (thanx to Bally I could do that there) but I didn't keep a record, mostly because I didn't hit the weights as hard as I usually do and looking back it would look pretty strange...

 

So my workout from Thursday

 

Th, Nov. 11,

 

Routine A

 

DBBP 65 (6,5,5)

Deadlift 175 (10,10,9)

Lat Pullups (3x10)

Leg raises (4x10)

@ Localbrada

 

Thanx for looking after me... I've been slacking a little bit, especially with my log...

 

here's the last couple days...

 

Su, Dec. 12

 

Routine B

 

Squats 185 (10,10,6)

DBMP 55 (3x10) Yeah, another weight done! On to the 60 pounders!

DB Bent Over Row 70 (3x10)

Abwork (Side Bends and Russian Twists)

 

Since I won't be doing this routine for a while a couple comments here...

I didn't nearly go down as far as I should squatting, so next time I'll get my form right so I'll have to use less weight!

My progress concerning military press has been really good so I'll stick to it... I probably have been using a little swing on my bent over row, so like the squat I'll have to use less weight (or less reps here anyway)...

 

So here's the first log of my new program! taadaaaa!

 

We, Dec 17.

 

Routine A

 

Incline DB bench press (just IDBBP in the following) 55 (9,8,7)

Deadlift 175 (10,10,9) I gotta get some lifting wraps, my grip is the problem...

Pullovers 55 (10,10,10)

Lat Pullups (3x10)

DB Bi Curl 35 (10,8,7)

Leg raises 4 sets...

 

I'm really sore today, especially my triceps... probably from bending my arms at the lowest point of the pullovers...

Gotta get a good nights rest, maybe I'll take an extra rest day tomorrow...

Sat, Dec. 20

 

Routine B

 

DB Lunges 30 (3x10)

DB Mil Press 60 (6,8,X)

T Bar Row 70 (3x10)

Dips

 

I was late, the gym closes at 4 PM weekends so I didn't do any abwork...

On my 3rd set MP my stabilizers failed me, I wasn't as concentrated as should have been and the dumbbells came down sideways... the first time lifting I had this feeling of being sort of in a daze... awesome...

 

Sun, Dec. 21

 

Core

 

Because of my lack of corework the day before I decided to go to the gym and work on my abs...

So I did Russian Twists, DB pushups, leg raises and side bends. My abs are sore and that happens very seldom.

I'm thinking about making a dedicated core day a regular thing.

 

Mon, Dec. 22

 

Routine A

 

Incline DBBP 55 (8,10,7)

Deadlift 185 (3x8)

Pullovers 65 (3x10)

Lat pull ups (3x10)

DB Bi Curl (3x10)

 

On my first bench set I took a 60 pound dumbbell in my right hand by mistake...

So I've been busy the last days... my girlfriend is coming to visit me (actually she should be here now, but she got delayed and will hopefully be here tomorrow morning). She's finished with her internship in DC so she's going back to Germany afterwards. This isn't going to keep me from working out though but I probably will take it easy the next couple days...

Got some Holiday stuff going on here too. Feeling pretty good about everything, I hope my bench will increase now...

So my girlfriend who was visiting me for three weeks left again, I'm pretty down, and I started college.

I hope that counts as an excuse for not working out for one and a half weeks...

Anyway college and working out will keep me busy and the troubles away, I'm pretty happy about this.

Enough crying here's what I was doing the last three days.

 

Sat, Jan 17

 

Routine B

 

Lunges 45 (3x10)

Military Press 60 (9,9,8)

T Bar Row 135 (3x10)

Dips (3x10)

Skullcrusher 60 (3x10)

 

Sun, Jan 18

 

Core Day

3 sets of Russian Twists

3 sets of side bends on Roman Chair with a 70 pound dumbbell

3 sets of hanging leg raises

3 sets of supported leg raises (in that power tower type thing)

 

Mon, Jan 19

 

Routine A

 

IDBBP 55 (3x10)

Deadlift 185 (3x10)

Pullover 70 (9,9,8)

DB Curls 35 (3x10)

 

No latwork today since they were aching today, maybe from the hanging leg raises)...

 

I forgot to add I'm at about 170 pounds with 13% body fat according to that game boy I had to hold at the gym.

I don't know how accurate those suckers are but I hope they can tell if you're making progress in cutting fat.

It'll still be a while till I start cutting but I'm thinking about it more and more...

I've had problems lately getting enough sleep. I got to get up early (at 6) on Mo, We, Fr (for college), the other days I don't. I aim for seven hours of sleep (I mean sleep, not laying in bed) but some days I've barely gotten four.

 

I did a couple changes to my program... the arm exercises have been added to the core routine, making way for some other exercises to hit certain muscles more (like legs, chest, delt and trap) since I think my arms are small in proportion...

 

Here it is...

 

Routine A

Incline Bench Press

Bench Press

Deadlift

Lat Pull ups

Dips

 

Routine B

DB Military Press

Squats

Lunges

Lateral Raises

Shrugs

 

Routine C

Russian Twists

Sidebends

Leg Raises

Biceps extension

DB Curls

EZ Bar Curls

 

I'll start with Routine C today... see you later.

I see that your numbers are increasing week after week for most exercises, keep it up !

My abs are sore and that happens very seldom.

I'm thinking about making a dedicated core day a regular thing.

That's a good idea, and you can also do a few sets of ab exercises between each set of other muscle group.

Hi Brada, Boy I've bee slacking at writing my progress down in here... I use DB for shrugs. I'm at 90 lbs per dumbbell now...

 

I hurt my shoulder so that for a month now I haven't been able to bench press, shoulder press or do dips. For this reason I have split Routine B and added it to Routine A and C.

Kick ass that you're at 90s. I'm at up to 115lbs without straps, but I can only get in about 6 before my offhand starts to fail. I could go heavier, but I need to work on grip strength so I'm ditching the straps.

 

Glad to hear that you're just neglecting the blog and not the workout.

Yeah, my off hand gets in my way too when doing deadlifts. I use the reverse grip (palm facing away) on this side. It works better, sometimes I still have to set the bar down early.

 

I'm keeping a log in a million scrap papers, I just have to write it down here. Let's see what I can reconstruct.

Rest that shoulder and if you need to work it out there is no shame in going light or jumping on a machine. Nurse it and don't don't give a hoot about what others think when they see you going light.

 

Nice to see the workout update, Dan-Dan!
