1stindoor's Bad Euphemisms Thread

1stindoor · 06-16-2008, 03:00 AM

I still have something in the basement Paulie....

I hesitated starting a new thread until I could get into a steady workout routine. Now that I've been here for a few weeks, I'm ready to give it one more go at getting bigger. So with that being said, I'm going to try and lift hard and heavy one more time and beat some old PRs of mine. Here's what I did this morning.

Incline Bench: 135 x 10 for two sets; 185 x 10; 225 x 8; 255 x 4; 275 x 2; 225 x 6; 205 x 6; and 185 x 5

Flat Bench: 135 x 10; 225 x 8; 255 x 6; 275 x 3; and 300 x 1 (I haven't hit 300 in nearly a year)

Decline Bench: 225 x 8 for 3 sets

D.B. Pullovers: 75 x 10; 100 x 6; 100 x 8

Incl. D.B. Flyes: 25 x 10; 35 x 10; 40 x 8

Dips: 2 sets of 10

Thank You Elise...and in keeping with the title of my little journey...it ain't over 'til it's over.

Today was leg day (and I'm exhausted)

Plate Loaded Leg Extension: 90 x 12; 135 x 10; 180 x 10; 225 x 8.
Squat: 135 x 10; 225 x 10; 315 x 8; 405 x 5; 450 x 3; 225 x 6 (I wanted to cry)
Reverse Leg Curl: 100 x 10; 125 x 8; 125 x 6 for two more sets
Calf Raises with the BB: 135 x 15 for three sets
Hip Sled Leg Press: 200 x 10; 300 x 10; 400 x 6 ....and then I began the slow crawl from the gym back to my humble abode.

Tomorrow's back day...oh boy, oh boy, oh boy

450 on squats?!?! Great going, especially after the pre-exhaust!

I noticed your comment in my journal about you not being able to do lunges because of knee issues. I had the same issue when I first started working out, but heavy leg extensions seem to have strengthened the muscles around my knees to where I don't have any problems now.

I've always had pain after doing them. I think it just might be old age and "lifestyle"...my job does have it's occupational hazards. Strangely enough though...I don't hurt as bad after squatting.

I'm already back up to 425 on the DL...I'm hoping to break 500 this go-round.

I wasn't playing the "old age" card as much as just realizing that I'm getting older...and it takes longer to recover from some of the things I used to do "job-wise"...besides, you're what 32? 33?....much much younger than me.

I did!...500 lbs...from the floor! YEAH ME!, This time...I'm going to try and go over 500.
Because I'm not dead yet.

Back Day:
Bent over rows: 95 x 12; 115 x 12; 135 x 10; 155 x 8; 185 x 5

Dead Lift (from the floor): 135 x 10; 225 x 9; 315 x 4; 405 x 1; 425 x 1 (I pulled it off the floor like it was just in my way...mwaahaahaa)

Shrugs: 135 x 15; 225 x 10 for two sets; 285 x 5 (okay...maybe I'm a bit smoked)

I then did three sets of ten on a seated row machine and three sets of pulldowns...different machines than back at home so I don't think the numbers mean much.

Either way I walked out of the gym feeling pretty good. Shoulders and light chest tomorrow. Same Bat Time, same Bat Channel.

Far from it.

So do you have a specific number in mind or just anything over 500?
