I like the way your diet looks , very good , you should grow.

I like all your supps except the calcium and glutamine.

Good luck with the new CEE.

Calcium-- thats not really a bodybuilding supplement, thats more of an overall wellness supplement. There's a lot of osteoperosis in my family.

I don't care for a glutamine arguement right now. I don't think its really worth the price, but after I wasted my money I'm not going to throw the stuff away. It does do some good. If nothing else it helps keep me healthy.

Started CEE Pro today. Took two in the morning and two postworkout.

I'm just coming back from the beach, where I usually don't eat enough while out in the water. That's why my weights/reps are a little off, guessed the wrong weight to come back with.

Neutral Press: 42.5x6
Lying Lateral: 20x13
Dumbbell Bench Press: 52.5x4
Inlince Bench Press: 100x5
Skull Crushers: 70x6
Tri BP: 100x4
Towel Hang: 25x10seconds

I'm thinking about switching shoulders back before chest, as they are starting to catch up with the rest of my body. It is also taking away from my chest workout, as my shoulders are pounded by the time I get to it.

[skimmer]

Took two more this morning.

I'm a little sorer from my workout yesterday than I usually am. Nothing else remarkable.

[skimmer]

Workout again tomorrow. Should start being able to tell a difference by then, but will still have some HP CEE in me. Creatine takes about 30 days to flush, so near the end will be pure Muscle Tech CEE Pro.

[skimmer]

Weight: 145

I had a GREAT workout today. Intensity was there...it was beautiful.

ATG Squat 140x20
Pull Ups 7.5x6
DB Row 77.5x8
Concentration Curl 30x8

By the end of that squat set I couldn't walk. Last week I did 135x8. My nose started bleeding at the end of the DB Rows. The weight didn't increase from last week, but two more reps, and last week they were my first back exercise. I was going to try a lying pull down with an under hand grip for a bi excercise, however I was really feeling it in my lats, so I stopped. Its first up on the bench for Thursday. Skipped on shrugs too, but I doubt I coulda stood up with my shrug weight by the time I got around too it.

[skimmer]

I'm not sure if its the creatine, or I'm just getting where I'm able to push myself more, but my workouts have been really intense lately. I'm going to have to dorp to one exercise per bodypart. I switched chest back to first, but then my shoulders were dead when I got to them. Legs have been crazy sore.

Incline DB Bench Press 52.5x8
Dips
Dumbbell Press40x5
Upright Row90x8
Reverse Bench Press115x5

[skimmer]

Been hard to eat recently. As a result of AST MultiPro 32x, I got extra heartburn. The extra heartburn lead to erosive esophigitis. I'm thinking about switching 2 meats with 2 protein shakes, becuase it hurts SO bad to swallow. I'd rather do some 20 rep squats than have a steak right now. I might take tomorrow off too, my legs are still extremely sore. Or move deadlift to friday. I'll see how I feel.

[skimmer]

Starting to get easier to eat, still had two pro complex shakes with oil and oatmeal for two meals today. Workout felt pretty good.

Lying Pull Down100x8
DB Row80x7
Concentration Curl32.5x6
Shrugs 180x10


Legs are still sore, so I'll just do my deadlifts tomorrow.

[skimmer]

Due to current time restraints, I haven't been able to post/workout as much. I skipped a workout then started DC training Wednseday. Workout felt pretty good. I'm going to start taking the CEE the way I think I should take it (pre/post), since the Muscle Tech reps won't reply to my e-mails. I'll post the workouts tomorrow.

[skimmer]

I've pretty much stopped posting here, but I'll continue my long as promised to muscle tech.

TT: 200x6, 185x20 (I did RP, but I have no idea what numbers, it was kinda like being in a coma, an extremly painful coma)

I couldn't walk up the stairs yet again. This is going to get annoying.

My trap are really sore from the SLDL, well everythings sore, but they were especially noticable because they usually don't get sore. Same with biceps, but to a lesser degree.

Great log!!

[skimmer]

Yick, had a bout with overtraining, then got sick. Here's my last few workouts:

Dips:
LT:25x10
TT:27.5x6x2x1 (These are going, thats a horrible increase. These are carryover from my last w/o)

Neutral Press:
LT: n/a
TT: 42.5x5
Guessed to high on this exercise. Got halfway up on rep 6 and couldn't make it any farther. Did a slow negative from there down. 15 deep breaths later i couldn't move the weight again...but my shoulders are throbbing.

Reverse BP:
LT: 115x5, no negatives
TT:110x7x3x1+Static

Lying Pull Downs:
LT: n/a
TT: 110x8x4x1
I had a horrible logistical time with these, I kept flying up in the air trying to do them due to the weight. Some other back muscle probably got worked just as much or more than my lats trying to hold me down.

Rack Pulls:
LT:275x6, Knee Level
TT: 220x4, Mid lower leg

Didn't think weight would drop THAT much lowering the pins.

All around a good workout. My shoulders and tri's are the most shot of anything. Did all my stretching. Used 40lb DBs on that chest stretch for a minute...that hurt. I'm gonna try more next time.

Concentration Curls:
LT: 32.5x6
TT: 35x8x2x1
Hammer Curls:
LT: haven't done these for a while
TT:30x8x3x2
Sumo Bench Squat:
LT: n/a
TT:130x6, 150x6, 170<-Couldn't get back up
Squat:
LT: 145x8
TT:160x8
LT: n/a
TT: 140x10x7x4

Next time I'm doing to do alternating hammer curls. Think that might be more effective. I did a slight variation on the forearm stretch, as it wasn't stretching my forearms. I put my palms down on the bench, fingers facing me, then pulled back as far as I could go. Same general stretch, just slightly different in execution.

Sumo bench squat felt like it hit my quads more than my hams. We'll see how I feel tomorrow. I just did the add 10lbs to each side till you can't do six to see about what rep scheme I should do.

Next day, def. hit hams.

Decline BP:
LT 110x5
TT 110x10

Arnold Press
LT 42.5x1 (overtraining day)
TT 40x4 this sucked, so I stripped off 5lbs and did 6 more

Skull Crushers:
LT 70x7
TT 72.5x6 (not too bad with sickness)

Rear Pull Downs:
LT n/a
TT: 110x7

DB Row:
LT 75x7 (didn't do anything before it)
TT 75x5

It is really frustrating to not get to do R/P. I miss it.

My shoulders did really bad. They've been stuck for a while now. I'm going to leave the weight around 35, then try to get a lot more reps. That should get them growing.

Scott Curl:
LT 60x6
TT 65x10

Reverse Curls:
LT n/a
TT 45x5 (guessed wrong weight), 11x35 (much better)

Good Mornings:
LT n/a
TT 90x20

Extremely Narrow Bench Squat
LT n/a
TT 110x8, 140x6
I felt so stupid. I was warming up, and trying to figure out how exactly to bench squat with my power rack. I was using 100lbs or so. I reracked the weight and was ducking out under it when it came crashing down on my head. I guess it just got it on the edge of the holder thing. Thankfully I had the safeties set high enough that I didn't get killed, but I had a throbbing head ache for a little while after this. Kinda made it hard to finish. Besides that it felt pretty good on my quads.

[skimmer]

Last two workouts:

Incline DB Press:
LT 52.5x12 RP
TT 55x7

Military Press:
LT 75x6 RP
TT 70x11

CGPB
LT 100x6 RP
TT 90x11

Rack Chins
LT n/a
TT 15x10

Seated Row:
LT 110x6
TT 110x12

I kind of forgot that I did RP on my first two sets. After the first set, I couldn't figure out what had happened to my reps. Then realized it was the RP being gone. The second/third ones I dropped my weight back, got the reps back up. Did the chest stretch with 55lbs DBs, only one I didn't make it to a minute+ on.

Today's workout:

Incline Curl:
LT 30x12 RP
TT 4x35** 30x9

Pinwheel Curls
LT 27.5x20 RP
TT 30x12

SLDL:
LT 180x12
TT 200x12

Free Weight Hack Squat:
LT 200x6, 180x20
TT 220x8 **

Todays workout was great. Went up by 20lbs in two exercises, which is unheard of for me. I had to go back and recount to make sure I added it up right. Only downfall was on incline curl, I thought I had my DBs at 30, and I had them at 35. I was sitting there at rep 4 and couldn't figure out was happening. Then looked at them, stripped them down to 30s and did 9 more. On FW Hack Squats, I tried to go for a heavier set, but my legs wouldn't budge after that last set. I couldn't get 230 up once. They were dead. Had to crawl up the freaking stairs from my basement. I'm sure I looked really stupid.

[skimmer]

Latest workouts:

Just got up from todays workout, and I'm extremely pissed off. I just came off a workout where I increased two lifts by 20lbs, and I couldn't increase jack squat today. I don't know what is wrong. I'm getting enough protein- close to 300g a day at ~150lbs. I can't work any harder. Its hurting my triceps to type right now.

My biggest problem growing is shoulders. I was wondering if it would be okay to use R/P for them alone.

I am just having a really hard time getting my reps up, and I don't know why. Maybe its because I've always trained in a fairly low rep range. (6-8, going down to 4 sometimes) I start getting up around 10 my muscles die.

Okay, here's todays embarrasment:

Neutral Bench Press*
LT n/a
TT 50x10

Neutral Press
LT 42.5x4x1
TT 40x6 (grr....still not high enough), 35x9 (getting there)

Reverse BP*
LT 110x6x3x1
TT 110x8

CG Rack Chins
LT n/a
TT 15x10

DB Row**
LT 75x5
TT 75x8

*Neutral Bench press is done by going down about like chest stretch, and then pressing up. These hit my tri's a fair bit, and my RGBP suffered somewhat.

**Last time I did Rack Pulls here, but switched these to next workout because my traps/hams are still sore from SLDLs. I think it also affected my rows when I did a primarily lat movement before doing them.

My legs continue to do better than my lower body. I don't get it, but I don't care. Only thing is, I couldn't do squats after doing sumo bench squats. I was was pretty dead. So I did narrow bench squats, and it worked pretty good. I'm going to do Squats before my Ham exercise on its day, then pair it with good mornings which really don't use any other part of your leg. Spider curls took a lot more out of my arms than concentration curls did.

DB Spider curls:
LT n/a
TT 25x12

Hammer curls:
LT 30x8x3x2
TT 30x13

Sumo Bench Squat:
LT 150x6
TT 160x9

Bench Squat:
LT 110x8
TT 130x10

I'm having problems going heavier. I kill my legs, come out screaming on rep 10. Then I'm supposed to do more weight? I really doubt I could do the same weight again. Oh well, maybe it will come with time.

I had a pretty good w/o. Increased all my weights, only lost 1 rep on 1 exercise. Best part were the the rack pulls. I really feel I destroyed the log book on that one. I didn't get that big of strength jumps, but most exercises got a rep increase too, which is what I really needed. I'll keep going slowly like this and adding reps to get to the recommended rep range.

Decline BP:
LT 110x10
TT 115x9

Arnold Press:
LT 35x6
TT 37.5x8

Skull Crushers:
LT 72.5x6
TT 75x7

Rear Pull Downs:
LT 110x7
TT 115x8

Rack Pulls:
LT 220x4
TT 230x8
***....leg day. Well, it was nice being able to walk earlier.

Scott Curl:
LT 65x11
TT 70x10

Reverse Curls:
LT 35x20
TT 55x12

Squat:
LT 160x8
TT 180x4, 150x6

Good Mornings:
LT 90x20
TT 105x15

Misjudged weights on squats, thought I could do more after my first set. Good mornings killed. I did them after squats because they don't use any other part of the leg, and there's no way I could do squats after them. It went pretty well. I took like a 7 minute break or so before doing them, then warmed up, so I was kinda well rested. Enough to stand anyways.

149. 1lb off. Oh well.

Incline DB Press
LT 55x7
TT 57.5x5

Military Press
LT 70x11
TT 75x12

CGBP
LT 11x90
TT 105x9 (got most the way up on number ten, then couldn't get to the very top)

Rack chins
LT 15x10
TT 25x10

Seated Row
LT 110x12
TT 120x12

I'm happy with the workout overall. Rack chins felt great. Really killed my lats. Incline DB press is gone, it was a carry over from my old routine. Been on that exercise for around 2 months now. My legs are STILL sore.

Incline curl:
LT 30x9
TT 32.5x7*

Pinwheel curl
LT 27.5x11
TT 30x13

SLDL:
LT 200x12
TT 220x12

Hack Squat
LT 220x8
TT 250x6, 200x8

Overall, I'm happy with the w/o. I really don't think I always be able to up the weight on biceps. Next week I won't, and get my reps up where they should be. The weird thing is I upped the weight the same amount on pin wheel curls and they went up in reps. My legs were killing me. After the first set of Hack Squat, I couldn't move. So I went and did another set. Happy with SLDL too.
