    BergMuscle's Lean Mass Training

    New routine, new journal. And a new title that is aimed at keeping me focused on my overall bodybuilding goal.

    BB Squats
    20x170

    DB Pullover
    10x45
    10x45
    10x45

    SLDL
    8x185
    8x185

    BB Calf Raise
    9x245
    8x245

    Crunches
    3 sets of 50

    This routine is tougher than it may appear. I was done at the last rep of each exercise, and the sets of 50 crunches really burned my abs.

    Tomorrow is rest/cardio (meaning it's a rest from the iron) then I have very full routine on "Day 2".

    1st...woo hoo.

    Is this your own routine or are you using one you found somewhere?

    A step backwards is better than a setback.

    If this (insert whatever trivial thing that is upsetting me) is the worst thing to happen today, I'm going to have a great day.

    Cool. Thanks for joining me.
    The routine is based on the one about half-way through this article with some changes made to suit my equipment, my body, and my goals.

    As for my goals, it really comes down to two words: mass and definition. I'll articulate more details later in this journal.

    Yeah baby, I'm 4th in great name for your journal BTW

    I like the abbreviated routine mate. Lower volume = higher intensity IMO

    In on first page! Anything that starts off with 20 rep squats is a challenging routine. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more from you, Dan.

    cardio
    Heavy Bag - 2 minutes/ 30 seconds rest/ 2 minutes

    Stationary Bike - 45/30 intervals - 16.25 minutes

    Heavy Bag - 2 minutes/ 30 sec. rest/ 2 minutes

    This is a good in-between heavy training routine. It really beat me up.
    Oh, I've got some serious ab DOMS today.

    chest/delts/triceps

    8x55
    8x55

    8x135
    8x135

    2-hand Pushdown
    8x77
    8x77
    8x77

    Crunches
    3 sets of 50

    This routine really handed me my *ss! The heavy chest work took so much out of me that I had to back off the weights on the BB Press and CGBP after the first couple of reps. My abs were burning before I started (leftover from Monday) and now are really talking to me.
    I think I'm going to like this split. I wanted to go harder and more intense and I think this is going to do it. I just have to do a bit more work on the diet.

    Tomorrow is total rest, at least from training, since I teach grad school. I need the rest.

    This is the first time in two weeks that I've pulled 315# dead lifts, and I felt every pound. I'm hoping for a strength return in the next few weeks. The rest of this routine took every bit of strength and energy I had. The 85# EZ curls wasted my biceps.
    In the "improvement column" the 3x50 crunches aren't totally wasting me.

    A step backwards is better than a setback.

    If this (insert whatever trivial thing that is upsetting me) is the worst thing to happen today, I'm going to have a great day.

    Still very impressive lifts, Dan. My deads felt extremely heavy two weeks ago, then last week the strength was back. I think it is such an all out pull that it doesn't take much of something to be a little off to feel it.

    Last night was our "lock-in" with the teens in our parish youth group. It went very well (this is a great group of kids) and I actually got almost 5 hours of sleep! Needless to say I didn't find any training time yesterday while we were getting ready for our night together. I did find some cardio time today.

    cardio
    Heavy Bag - 2 minutes/30 sec. rest/ 2 min.

    Stationary Bike - 45/30 intervals - 16.5 minutes

    Heavy Bag - 2 min./30 sec. rest/2 min.

    Then I took an extended "nap" (if it had been a few minutes longer it would have been called "sleep").

    Good work Dan, 3x50 of crunches is a greeat effort.

    Is your goal 3x315 for the deads or up the weight for 2 reps?
    Taking the "less is more" approach to cardio...

    Legs and the return of the red ink!
    Squats
    20x175 +5#

    DB Pullovers
    10x45
    10x45
    10x45

    SLDL
    9x185 +1 rep
    8x185

    BB Calf Raise
    9x245
    9x245 +1 rep

    Crunches
    3 sets of 50

    I knew it was going to be a good one when I was close to puking during the 20 rep squats. DB Pullovers are going up to 47.5# next week. I kept the rests to 30-45 seconds or the time it took to get the bar reloaded. That added to the intensity big time. 50 rep crunches are still a good challenge. I can feel my abs burning right now.
