    Kcabo's Log: Strength and Aesthetics.

    I've been on this forum for a while now but never made a log. I've decided to start logging my lifts ITT. I'd be happy to ask any questions here as well.

    Today was a rest day. I had a relatively successful cut last spring, and maintained that physique until the end of August/September since then I've been bulking up and running a Legs/Push/Pull routine.

    Some physique pics and vids of some old lifts:




    355 TnG bench 12/10/12



    230 OHP 3/29/13

    The more I eat and the heavier I train - the better my 'genetics' get.

    Thanks. I first started working out in 10th grade, but I think we all start out doing stupid workouts/un-optimal training. I wouldn't say I really started getting into working out until I was a freshman in college, so that puts me at 5+ years. Then I joined this forum in Sep 2009 and started researching and getting more and more into proper training. Unfortunately, even a couple of those "serious" years of training I didn't put in as much effort towards squats/DLs as I should have. I used to be able to bench more than I could squat

    This is more of just a hobby for me so I plan on staying natty for life. Mirin' join date brah.

    Here's a picture of me during the end of my senior year of HS ~ 150lbs (2008). Relatively lean, but small and skinny. Dem Ecto genetics.

    The more I eat and the heavier I train - the better my 'genetics' get.

    Impressive OHP!
    She approached with her hand extended,. I slowly stepped back. "No" she said. "I just want to shake your hand. You're amazingly gorgeous." As she walked by me she copped a biceps feel.

    Everything felt pretty good. Deadlifts felt pretty easy today besides the last set/rep, rep #5 was a grinder. I'll be pulling 475, and attempting pause squats at 295 next week. I'm hoping this calf training @ ~ 4x a week will pay off with some results.

    When doing standing calf raises, I tend to go for 15-20 reps. That has worked well for me. I don't like putting a heavy barbell on my back after I'm done squatting as that puts too much pressure on the spine.

    I'm just doing them on a machine, it doesnt feel too bad on my back. I'm working on the entire rack and hope to progress up to 15 reps soon. Once that occurs ill probably move onto the smith machine for calves. Thanks for the insight though, can't seem to get much calf development.

    Oh, I see. I thought you did it using a barbell. That's how I do it because I lift at home.

    can't seem to get much calf development.
    Frequency + volume. MMC is more important than weight here, so keep that in mind. A neat trick I learned was to imagine pushing the floor away instead of getting the bar 'up'. I've noticed that when I try to get the bar up, I have almost zero MMC, but when I push the floor down, I can really feel my calves doing all the work. This works equally well when doing single leg DB calf raises. As for the number of sets, I can't be sure how many will work for you, but I saw good growth when I did 8 sets (standing + seated) twice a week.

    Felt pretty good today for being a long long day. Didn't get to the gym until pretty late. I'll be working towards getting 120lb DBs for 4 sets of 8 in the next coming weeks, as well as bumping up the OHP. Pause bench is a new exercise for me that I've been incorporating - I hope to see some translation to my TnG BB press. I was surprised I was still able to press a decent amount of weight after performing incline DB/OHP work. Hopefully that trend continues.

    I've tried a lot of things with calves and they don't seem to respond accordingly - may just take years and years of this volume/progression for me to see substantial results. Thanks for the advice I'll keep the MMC in mind, because that has worked for my bench (imaging to push the floor away as opposed to pushing the bar up)

    Thumbs up

    Good stuff all around, man.

    So from what I can tell your routine is essentially a P/P/L with alternating lifts after each cycle? You're a strong dude. Nice job.
    Who was this love of yours?

    Thanks, I always push for strength gains, long term goal of mine is to bench 4 plates, squat 5 plates, and dead 6 plates at some point.

    And yes, my split for the past year+ has been a PPL with alternating lifts each cycle. I find this routine more enjoyable as it gives me a lot of exercises to try and improve on every week and allows for a nice mix of little to higher volume training.

    Comments
    DB rows were frustrating because my left hand pinky finger was jammed recently and is experiencing pain/loss of grip during this exercise. It made gripping the DB very difficult and I didn't have any straps with me, by the 4th set I decided to back off the weight a bit. I'm hoping it's all good to go by next time, but if not hopefully I remember straps. I have no problems with grip during DLs so that's good - must be the switch grip on DL.

    Is that the total of the weight stack?
    She approached with her hand extended,. I slowly stepped back. "No" she said. "I just want to shake your hand. You're amazingly gorgeous." As she walked by me she copped a biceps feel.

    495 \# is the total for the calf raise at my gym too.
    I can rep a lot on it though.

    The DBs only go to 120# so I lay the 5, 10# DBs across my hand when needed.

    Haha nice, my friends have had to rig up DBs like that at their gyms as well. That's not too bad though some gyms even have much less DBs than that.

    Another squat session where I came into it pretty exhausted unfortunately. Life gets busy and sleep suffers. It wasn't too bad though.

    Decided to cut back a set on CGBP today and flys. I'd normally deload this week, but I'm going to hold off until thanksgiving for a half-cycle deload... go back at it for a couple weeks and then take an entire week off during the winter for the holidays. That's the plan for now anyway.

    Relatively easy lift. I scaled back the intensity on this lift a decent amount and dropped a few exercises and switched out a few with IMO less intense exercises, mainly because I normally deload this week and was feeling a bit fatigued today. Gonna squeeze in 3 more workouts and then do a small deload.

    Decided to go heavier than I planned on DLs, and I'm glad I did it felt pretty good to move 5 plates. I kept the weight the same on those pause squats since I was stuck without safety bars. To make it more difficult I paused longer than last week. Pretty solid lift, 2 more intense lifts and then a half-cycle deload.
