The pump from todays shoulder / bicep workout was insane! I got my 1st set of shoulder press in and the pump was intense, the second set was to much and I had to drop the weight a good bit. But i loved it! It was the best pump i've had in a long ass time. Motivation today was not 100%. Cold and rainy outside and no hardcore folks at the gym Funny how we can feed off the energy of other people.


On to todays workout!!


SHOULDERS

*Smith Machine Shoulder Press: 8 + 4 HCR with 185lbs
this was dropped to 135lbs on the last set, i only got 2 HCR and my shoulders gave out, so i did 4 with 135

*Lying Cable Upright Rows: 8 + 4 HCR with 60lbs
NICE burn and pump

*1 Arm DB Side Raise: 8 + 4 HCR with 25lbs
WOW.. LOVED these.


BICEPS

*1 Arm DB Preacher Curls: 8 + 4 HCR with 25lbs

*Cable Rev Curls: 8 + 4 HCR with 70lbs

*BB Wrist Curls: 8 + 4 HCR with 85lbs

*BB Rev Wrist Curls: 8 + 4 HCR with 35lbs


CARDIO

*20 min cardio 3.5mph @ 3.5 incline

Notes: Workout was damn good, nice pump on each exercise. Felt the muscles working hard today. Biceps need more work or maybe I should do biceps first next time so they get all my energy.

Thanks for the compliment. I wish I could go back to high school and start all over again. I'd do a ton of things differently. Not that I'm not happy with my results now but just wish I had taken it more seriously. I'd be heeeyooog by now. Lol

my thoughts exactly.

FRIED my abs today. Man what a burn from HELL! Had a great workout and cardio was awesome. I felt really tired all day but didnt let that stop me. I made myself take it up a notch and kicked my ass!

On to todays workout!!


ABS

*Hammer Machine Crunches: 4 x 20 with 40, 50, 60, 70
These focus on upper and lower abs, did my reps slow and controlled with a squeeze on each rep


*Nautilus Ab Crunch Machine: 4 x 20 with 90, 100, 110, 120
This machine is killer, it has a back pad that allows you to lean back more and stretch out the abs, focuses mainly on upper abs.


*Machine Oblique Twist: 3 x 20 with 60lbs
I really like these, they feel damn good


*Hyperextentions: 3 x 15 with 25lb plate
Burned really good, had a nice pump in my lower back. I dont usually do these but I am from now on

Abductors

*Abductor Machine: 3 x 15 with 190, 205, 215

Adductors

*Adductor Machine: 3 x 20 with 190, 205, 215

CARDIO

*Cardio was a mix today. 5min warmup with 10min HIIT. I was running 7mph on a 7incline but felt fatiqued and drained FAST so the last 20min was LISS. 3.5incline at 3.5mph



Notes: Overall a damn fine session today. PWO I had my Animal Creatine and drank about half a gallon of water during my workout. Soaked in sweat but felt ready for more! I've been feeling really tired a lot lately, my appetite is going nuts too. About an hour after I eat i'm hungry again. Guess its time to up the water. lol


Current Supplement usage:

[SoChillBro]

solid ab session bro! I still havent added cardio into my training yet but with my new job I'm required to run a lot not sure if that will help lean me out or slow my recovery time down.

[tatteredsaint]

Holy Ab-work!! Very nice!!

appetite is monstrah!! FTW

[BB2K]

My workout today was just horrible. No motivation, no training partner, no "atmosphere"... nothing. But instead of sitting home and crying about it I gave what I could. I really hate half assed workouts but its better than nothing. I wasnt able to do my HRT as I normally do, I just "worked out" today. I kept the exercises basic and heavy as I could.


TRICEPS

*CGBP: 4 x 8 with 225, 245, 275, 275
Felt good, wish I couldve gone a bit heavier though

*Press Downs: 5 drop sets of 5 reps with 100, 80, 60, 40
These were done on an actual machine made for triceps, so the weight is a lot heavier

*1 Arm Rev Grip Press Down: 4 x 10 with 40lbs
Nice pump with these babies

*1 Arm Cable Kick Back: 4 x 8 with 30, 30, 40, 40
Triceps totally failed on last few reps of last set


CHEST

*Incline Smith Press: 4 x 8 with 185, 225, 245, 275
Felt my pecs working hard on these

*Decline Smith Press: 4 x 8 with 225, 245, 275, 315!
Smoked 315lbs like it was a cheap cigar

*Flat BB Press: 3 x 8 with 185, 205, 225
Strength on flat bench is GONE. Im sure due to all other exercises though

*Cable Flys: 4 x 10-12 with 50, 60, 70, 80
Nice pump and stretch on these



Notes: I feel like crap for not being able to do HRT today. I was really looking forward to kicking ass. But shyt happens from time to time. Back day tomorrow and I will destroy my lats training partner or not!


Current Supplement usage:

Pre-Workout: 1 Scoop RAGE!

I predict by week 4 your abs will be in 3D so I suggest you hit Toys 'r' Us this weekend and snag some of those 3D glasses, grab two pairs, one for wifey
