pelicanAndrew Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 So that running never happened because I got a wee bit too drunk and made out with this really cool vegetarian girl who I again hung out with into the wee hours of the morning Saturday night-Sunday morning(sober) and I have a huge thing for now. Wish me luck! Today was back and shoulders. Not the best day thanks to like the 11 hours of sleep I got all weekend(5AMSAT-12PMSAT then 7AM-11AM(i'm not kidding, we talked from like 2 in the morning till 6, and then well... i don't kiss and tell ) I did get to go sing with my fraternity at a nursing home and it went really well. Deadlifts 3x5@100kg Way too easy so I upped the weight. 2x5@105 Next week I'm starting at 110kg. Gotta get back up to 120kg and then try and get a good max lift. Shrugs 1x6@295(wayyy too heavy)4x6@275(perfect) Overhead press 1x8@953x5@1151x6@95 Seated Row 2x8@1501x7@150 fail on 8 There was the entire damn basketball team in the weight room and not a single damn one of them had any fucking weight room etiquette. One of them started fucking around the weights I was using to shrug. It's a damn good thing I'm always in a good mood when I'm lifting or I would've smacked his stupid jock-strap bro chauvinist pig ass. I was really tired on top of that so combined with the jocko-douchebaggery I figured I'd leave early with at least a good lift(not a great one). Time to eat some spinach!

Zack Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 You don't do very many sets. Do you have any pattern, or just what you feel like doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicanAndrew Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 You don't do very many sets. Do you have any pattern, or just what you feel like doing? I generally do 3 sets of 8(or more) on lifts i'm using to sculpt muscle and I'm working towards being able to do 5 sets of 5 on my "power" type lifting lifts. Another thing I do is that with the last 6 lifts(not the skullcrushers or preacher curls) are grouped into super sets. So basically 1 set tricep pulldowns, 1 set curls, 1 set DB bench and then repeat 2 more times. And then the next super set is One handed pulldowns, curls, reverse one handed pulldowns, incline DB bench. I do this to keep my heart rate up at the end. In about a month I should have a much more solid workout plan possibly with more days lifting. I'm still trying to find a time I can squeeze cardio in. My college schedule is very busy.

pelicanAndrew Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 I had a fanfuckingtastic lift today. Squats warm up 1x6@135 a little stretching 3x5@2251x5@215 My form kicked ass but god damn I was tired. Negative Sit Ups(sit downs I suppose) 5 sets till fail, done much closer together than before Ab pull downs 5x20@80 Leg press 3x8@290 Went lighter on that today Leg Curl 3x8@130 Felt really good. I think they turned the heat up cause I was sweating more today than I have all this year combined. Time to make some Thai green curry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicanAndrew Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 I had a crap day lifting today. Just wasn't in the mood combined with being drained from certain activities this weekend. Anywho here are the lifts Deadlifts 4x10@135lbs(60KG) My legs were killing me so I took it easy. Shrugs 5x6@275 I surprised myself with shrugs and rocked the crap out of them. Probably because deadlifts were easy style. Seated Rows 3x8@150 also pretty easy. Side Rows 3x8@55 I'm going to kick my ass on wednesday to make up for this crap today.

pelicanAndrew Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Studying was last week(I had 3 tests in one day). I actually had a bunch of stuff. Friday night watched Metalocalypse with the metal heads(there's 3 of them at my school and I love them all), then got up at 8AM(fuck) to play a damn band concert(which was terrible because musicians don't do that crap), then got back showered, went to play in the pep band for the football game(it was homecoming weekend), ran back to the apartment, showered again(it was a record high, thank you republicans), went to an Alumni reception for Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia(my music fraternity I'm in) then had our founder's day ceremony, then hung out at Ihop(yick, no vegan yummies), got some IPA and Goose Island, watched Saw and did other shenanigans and then had sex till 4:30 in the morning. Sunday I ate and cleaned. I had a lot of fun and don't regret any of it, I was just exhausted. Thankfully this week I've had a lot of classes canceled so it's pretty light.

pelicanAndrew Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 (it was a record high, thank you republicans) Don't place the blame on someone else, you are just as responsible as anyone. I like to smack talk them as often as possible. It's actually a risky endeavor at my school. And I beg to differ that I'm equally responsible. I know I am part of it but I do not have as much power as a politician and I sure as hell didn't vote for any republican. Now if Ron Paul gets the nomination...

Zack Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I know I am part of it . Good, everyone is. So is the sun, considering there's good scientific evidence to show every other planet in the solar system warming as well. Not to say that we don't have an impact on warming through our actions, which is undeniable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I'm not a fan of Paul...he's not honest enough. Huckabee who I disagree with on nearly everything is the only honest republican up there that doesn't seem to cater to the lobby....he may agree with them but he doesn't cater to them. On the demogratic side the only people I trust are Grabel and Kucinich. They are both crazy and have not chance at all but they are both honest. Well Kucinich is just crazy to the general public...not to me. Out of possible winners of primaries I'm not happy about voting this term. If Hillary wins I'm really hoping moneybags Bloomberg runs.

pelicanAndrew Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Good day today Bench 1x8@1355x5@185 nailed it!!! Gonna up the weights next week!!! DB Bench 3x8@50s DB Incline Bench 3x8@40s going to move both of those up. My triceps were being wonky today. No clue why. You'll note the #s Tricep Pulldown 1x10@1001x8@1101x8@120 One handed pulldown 1x10@501x8@501x8@60 One handed reverse pulldown 1x8@401x8@401x10@30 I just couldn't find anything consistent at all. Barbell curls with 45 lbs olympic bar 3x12 Good lift. I'm adding cardio in on weekends. Should be fun to see the results of that in a month. I bet it'll be interesting to see how much fat I can shed. My goals for my body as of today are: Build strengthTone muscles, but mainly go for a big ol' strongman lookcut fat from stomach area(bleh, this is the sucky goal)Improve cardiovascular strength I'm focusing more on an all around lifting routine this year. Last year was big time powerlifting. I'm sure I'll switch my focuses around a few times this year just to keep things interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicanAndrew Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Ok lift considering I stressed about my math test and got very little sleep. (for no good reason either, the professor says he's doing a time curve which is good because myself and about 99 percent of the class didn't finish. Squats 1x8@1353x5@225 My back felt really odd so I stopped. Didn't hurt it but it felt super weak today. Leg press 3x8@340 Felt awesomeeeee. Negative Incline Sit Downs 5 sets of about 30 seconds or till fail. Ab pulldowns 3x20@80 Leg curls 3x8@130 Gonna do some cardio tomorrow. Ughh, hopefully I can start loving cardio as much as I've started loving squats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicanAndrew Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Well I had fall break and didn't lift at all because I was home. I come back and find out I can no longer lift on Monday because apparently our shitty basketball team needs the weight room to themselves. Whatever. Anyway I'm going to be doing back and shoulders on sunday now. Today was a light chest and arms day because I have a recital tomorrow. Can't play trombone with sore muscles. I've tried. Bench 1x8@1351x5@1852x5@1901x2@190(I got tired fast)1x8@135 Triceps pulldowns 3x8@110 Preacher Curls 20 on each side of an easy curl bar 3x8 DB bench 3x8@55s Cooled down and went back to the apartment where I sit typing this. Probably going to have some gluten free pasta with vegan pesto my mommy made me over fall break. Maybe toss in some tempeh sauted in olive oil. Gonna keep it light tonight though.
