Day 49/84 - Week 7, Day 7 Back / Biceps 25 Minute Cardio before and after lifting Twists (before and after lifting) - 150 Each Side (300 total) with an 18lb medicine ball GIANT SET Chin Ups 8x135 (assist) 10x135 (assist) 8x135 (assist) 6x135 (assist) Cable Rows 10x70 15x90 15x100 15x120 Lat Pull Down 10x105 15x120 15x120 15x120 NOTES: My chin/pull ups have always been super weak. They have gotten better I can do a few unassisted but for several sets I have to do them assisted (which I hate). Cable rows were pretty easy stuff. I really enjoy doing them to be honest. Lat pull downs were tough since they were the last in my Giant Set. Bent Over Barbell Rows 10x75 15x105 15x125 12x145 Notes: Added 10 pounds since the last time I did these. Wish I had brought my straps for the last set but powered through. Hammer Curls 20x15 20x20 20x20 Notes: These always tear my biceps up in a good way. EZ Bar Curls 10x40 15x50 12x60 12x70 Notes: Wanted to hit 80 on the last set but those hammer curls wouldn't let me. Felt good about the 70 either way. Rope Cable Hammer Curls 20x30 20x30 20x40 Final Notes: Was kind of hoping the gym would be empty today because of the Super Bowl but there was a decent amount of people. Luckily the normal douchebags were not there so that made my life a bit easier. Wish I did not forget my headphones at home. The gym music has been so bad lately. Tomorrow is supposed to be a day off but I am tired of days off right now so I am going to switch tomorrow and tuesday. Shoulders, Calves and abs tomorrow then a day off then a heavy legs day. Sounds good to me. -

Weird, that's what I was going to name my next dog. Great minds think alike. Also how beneficial do you think using Xtend has been? We when adopted her I had all kinds of great male dog names picked out but zero female dog names. We ended up naming her after Diamond from Crime Mob - To put it plain and simple I love Xtend. When I went from drinking 1 scoop a day to 3-4 during and after my workouts I noticed a huge difference in my recovery. It's a bummer that it is artificially sweetened but the fake sugar also keeps me from eating something stupid / delicious. -
Tips on working out with a fresh tattoo??
xChrisZx replied to SaraTonin's topic in Online Training Journals & Blogs
Just workout as your normally would and just clean the tattoo right after your workout. I am training with a fresh tattoo right now and haven't changed how I train at all. -

It is unflavored. So you can add it to a protein shake or juice. -

Day 44/84 - Week 7, Day 2 Chest / Triceps 25 Minute Cardio before and after lifting Twists (before and after lifting) - 150 Each Side (300 total) with a 18lb medicine ball Inclince Fly 10x20 10x25 12x35 12x40 Notes: 40 is a new PR on this lift. Probably could have gone higher if I was doing lower reps. Felt good as hell. Machine Bench (not a cable machine) 10x90 10x90 12x140 11x140 Notes: This machine starts at a normal width and brings the hands close to really work the inner chest. Felt a good burn on this one. Fly Machine 12x105 12x120 12x135 Notes: Basic stuff Dip Machine 12x90 10x120 9x135 Overhead Cable Extension 10x60 15x80 15x90 15x100 Cable VBar Pushdown 15x80 12x90 12x110 Final Notes: Switched yesterday and todays workouts (today was supposed to be an off day) but I decided to take tomorrow off before a heavy legs day on Thursday. -
