Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

I'm going to start keeping a log of the exercises I do each night.

Ok mate, can't wait to see it bro.

Will,

I know you were bumping into some problems updating this page. I'm looking into what the technical issue is but keep trying. I know that when I had that problem I kept trying to copy and paste and it would not let me post, but if I wrote a fresh one, it would work just fine. There must be a ghost inside the forum who doesn't want certain things posted.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing the training log too, which reminds me, I need to go update mine.

Take care bro, thanks for the music and keep training hard in your new Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness t-shirt!

several sets of each exercise w/ an average of 20-30 reps per set

Friday Sep 2

leg presses - several sets of around 5 reps at 400 pounds

calf presses - several sets of 15-20 reps at 400 pounds

pullups - around 50 total; about 35-40 of them were supinated and the rest were pronated

Wow, those are some good lifts there. 50 pullups?! Wow

Sat Sep 3

300 pushups

Sun Sep 4

Went to an amusement park and did a few miles of walking. Then went swimming at the hotel pool for a couple of hours afterwards

Mon Sep 5

situps, rows, wrist curls, deads

situps - on an incline bench with a 25 lb dumbbell behind my head, did probably about 100 total situps, alternated every 20 or so between straight situps and twisting situps

rows - did about 100 reps on each side with dumbbells (bent over rows leaning over a bench), the heaviest DBs they had at the hotel gym were 50 lbs so I used those. Then used the row machine, and set the weight to where I would fail between the 3rd and 5th rep, I did a few sets that way with each grip (you could hold it with wrists parallel to floor or perpindicular)

wrist curls - with 75 lb barbell and reverse wrist curls with 45 lb bar, I did probably 40 or 50 reps each way

deadlifts - finished with a few light sets of deadlifts, I was pretty tired by the time I got to them, I did about 20 or 30 of them at 175 lbs

Tues Sep 6

pullovers - did about 50 or 60 reps with 70 lbs (35 lb bb in each hand)

one leg squats - did a set of 29 on each leg

Wed Sep 7

seated calf raises, incline situps, preacher curls

seated calf raises - did a bunch of sets of between 10 and 20 reps, total of around 100 reps, did varying weights between each set ranging from 90 to 180 pounds of plates plus whatever the bar weighs

situps - incline bench w/ 25 lb DB behind head, did around 50 reps total alternating between straight and twisting situps every 10 reps

preacher curls - used 2 X 25 lb DBs (50lb total), and did a total of about 70 to 80 reps, alternating between normal preacher curls and hammer preachers every 10 to 12 reps

This looks like my kind of workout! .....when I'm not in hardcore training mode.

Cool to see people training on vacation. I assume it was speed walking, or was it tourist looking at everything walking?

How are the push-ups coming along? I haven't tried to break my own 700-something record yet, I'll probably try next week. I know are around the 400 mark which is 2nd most on this site I believe.

Take care man (I made a comment about your new Avatar in General Discussion under Topher's Pirate face)

A lot of the "walking" was chasing my 19 month old around, it's a pretty good workout!

Thurs Sep 8

bench press - with 2 x 50 lb dumbbells (100 lbs total)

shoulder press - with 2 X 35 lb dumbbells (70 lbs total)

I did high reps, low weight. I alternated between sets straight for almost 40 minutes (with only about a 10 second breather between sets). In all I did a few hundred reps on each exercise, in sets of around 20 to 25

Tomorrow (Friday) legs and situps, and play some football; then Saturday I'm aiming for 500 pushups

Fri Sep 9

leg presses and calf presses - on sled, 400 pounds, did several sets; next legs day, I'll try for something heavier like 450 lbs

situps - did a bunch of incline situps and twisting inclines with 25 lb db behind my head

Tomorrow I'm going for 500+ pushups. I have a good feeling about accomplishing it this time!
