MattSxvx Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hit an arm workout a few days ago. Here is todays workout though: Jump rope Incline BB Press:140x5, 160x5, 180x5, 190x3 With 3 second pauses on chest:135x6 x 4 sets Machine Pec Dec:90x12, 135x9, 180x6, 210x5, 240x3, 255x3 I hadnt done these in about three or four months and my strength on these has exploded since then. I think my max with poor form was 180x6, and I nailed 255x3 with near perfect form tonight. On the same machine I last did them on as well.

MattSxvx Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Well I have been out of commision the last two days with nausea, fever, and diarrhea. When I woke up today I was feeling pretty good so I took a chance and went to the gym. Somehow after having no appetite and eating roughly half the calories I normally do, plus being dehydrated from the fever and diarrhea, my scale was saying I was 4 pounds heavier than I was two weeks prior. Must be some fluke. Romanian Deadlifts: (raw, no chalk, braces, gloves, straps, or belts)45x12, 140x5, 230x5, 280x5, 320x3, 280x5, 230x8, 140x20 Managed a new best with 320x3 even after being sick as a dog the two days prior. BB Squats: (no belt)45x12, 140x12, 190x12, 230x5, 230x5 Phew. I was whooped from the romanians. Feeling nauseated at this point. Leg Press:190x12, 370x12, 550x8, 640x6 My legs were so weak by the time I got to these. Near the point of vomiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattSxvx Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Quick Bench workout while I had a break at work. Incline BB Bench Press:45x8, 135x5, 175x3, 215xfailed halfway up, 185x5, 195x2, 200x1, 135x20, 135x8 with three sec pause on chest on last set I think I could have gotten 215 if i had a spot. Did not want to fail with no one around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Forklift Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Good session mate, nice to see someone else doing deadlifts the way they are meant to be done !! Have a good weekend, much planned or you gonna take it as it comes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattSxvx Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 Just gonna play it by ear. I am so undecided on what I want to do. I really want to lost body fat percentages, but ten seconds later I think I want to do strongman type stuff. It is so much more fun than doing a dumbell curl.

Mini Forklift Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Haha, I hear you. I sometimes feel like I am one of the few people that finds training biceps quite boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattSxvx Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 I rarely ever train triceps or biceps. I feel like it is a waste of a workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I don't think triceps are a waste as they're an important secondary muscle group that come into play with pretty much all forms of pressing. Having said that I would struggle to give them their own workout, but I do spend time training them as part of my assistance/ancillary training.
