IronPinoy's training log

[IronPinoy]

Hello, I'm new at this. I just wanted to put here my training log, so that I can keep track of my records. Also, it'd be cool if I can get advice from you guys.

I have been working out for 1.5 years. when I started, I was 120 pounds. Now, I'm roughly around 160-165 pounds. I am now 21y/o.

current records:
bench press: 225x4
squat: 205x10
deadlift: 0x0 (has not done it yet. squat and dead lift are priority this year)

goals: by June 2003
bench press: 275x4-6
squat: 275x10
deadlift: guessing 200x10

Workout split
Day 1: Chest
Day 2: Legs
Day 3: Back
Day 4: Shoulders
Day 5: Biceps/Triceps
Day 6: Legs
Day 7: Rest

Note: I start off each session with 15 minutes of cardio. I work Abs every other day.

January 8, 2003: Day 6
I stayed home and rested. I was supposed to work legs today but my lower back was bothering me yesterday, so I decided to rest today instead. Tomorrow I'll hit legs.

What's your cycle? Supps? Great Transformation bro, let's see the pics Parè!

[Deciever]

definately a nice job on the transformation.

Good luck on your routine

Good luck IronPinoy!! I'm guessing that you'll get a deadlift max of WAY over what you put. Yea, just start training the deadlift, it'll get there. If you need any help, just ask us.

[IronPinoy]

thanks for comments. I posted pics in the "post your pics" section. Back when I was 120, I just ate like a bitch to shock my body. I took creatine when I started out. And I just finished a bucket of NLarge2. I'm planning on getting another bucket. That's pretty much all I took, other than that I just ate.

Comments: I had a pretty good leg work out. I couldn't walk properly after but it was good. My back is still bugging me a bit when I was doing squats but when I did leg presses it felt better. I've only been doing legs for about 2 months now. I hope my legs won't hurt tomorrow.

Comments: I was supposed to work legs today but my legs were still sore so I switched it with back instead. I'll work legs tomorrow. My back work-out was not all that good. I felt like I was struggling to finish the sets. I need to work harder on my back. Gotta get them wrist straps too. This session took my about an hour.

What about deadlifts? When are you training the deadlift? Even if you dont train it directly, you need to be doing lower back work.

Also, I think your split could use a little bit of work. IMO, 2x a week for legs could be a little much. Like you said:
I was supposed to work legs today but my legs were still sore...
Also, you only have 1 rest day per week. I'd cut out the 2nd leg day and rework it so you have a rest day around day 3 or 4.

Oh, one more things...back the day after legs usually isnt a good idea. Might want to do some more re-arranging.

And try chalk before straps. Works just as good, IMO, and better in the long run.

[IronPinoy]

thanks zack for the advice. yeah, my split could use work. i've never used a training split before, i usually just do whatever I feel like.
How's this training split?

Day 1: Chest
Day 2: Back
Day 3: Rest
Day 4: Shoulders
Day 5: Biceps/Triceps
Day 6: Legs
Day 7: Rest

should I do deadlift in my back workout or leg work out?

I might try deadlift today just to see what it's like. I'm not going heavy, I just want to work on proper form.

[zackdarnell]

Looks good to me.

Deadlift on back day.

Make sure you start light enough to work on form. Dont even worry about weight at first. Once you get the form down, the weight will shoot up.

[IronPinoy]

Today I rested.

Comments: I had a good shoulder workout, I wore a belt during the shoulder press, so my back won't be hurting. Last time I didn't wear a belt and my back ached the next day. Some of the terms for the exercise I didn't know so I just did my best to describe the words to it.

Comments: The workout was ok except for the damn temp in the gym. It's so hot in there, felt like at least 30 celsius in there. I had to drink water twice more than i used to, to keep myself from dehydrating.

yeah, but they're light weights. I do a lot of sets with light weights mainly for the burn.
