    Notes: Because of Hurricane Sandy, the place I work at had to move basically everything they had up to the attic and in a storage container they rented for the storm. On Tuesday, me and one other guy literally had to move thousands of pounds of liquor, food, beer, chairs, tables, ect., up and down big staircases of course and after about 6 hours of that, I had to wash dishes for 4 hours because one of the damn workers got sick and had to go home lol Needless to say, my lower back and hands were absolutely phucking destroyed and that's why these last two workouts have been lower volume. /Complaining

    These god damned arms need to start getting Thicker,Tighter, and more Solid already. I don't even wanna measure them because they're pathetic lol Not gonna add anything else for arms though, just stay consistent with what I'm doing. Floor Pressing with chains crushes my tri's and is probably one of my favorite exercises so I'll have to build it up to a respectable weight if I expect to see any more mass on these toothpicks of mine. In regards to my nutrition, I practice IIFYM but I don't aim for an exact number of calories per day. I've been trying to hit at least 3500 calories a day and see what happens with my weight since I've finally started weighing myself every morning. For the last few weeks, my average Daily intake is just about 3800 calories and my weight has been steadily going up. Right after I woke up this morning I was 214.

    11/9/12: Push B
    Swiss Press- 125x12,12,12,12,12
    Incline Ring Flys- BWx12,12,12,12,12
    A.)Decline Skullcrushers- 6512,12,12,12,12

    Band Pushdowns- Pinkx48


    I have no idea why I don't use the Swiss Bar more often, it's the only bar that actually hits my chest when I do any Flat Pressing. Today was obviously a lot more volume then normal but it was definitely an effective session, I intend to keep the volume around this area. It's been exactly one month of working out every single day and the only issue so far is that I have some slight pain in my left elbow because I hyperextended it the other day while doing Straight Bar OH exits. That's why I added in that high rep set of Pushdowns at the end, it forces a ton of blood in the area and from what I understand, extremely high reps increase tendon/ligament strength.

    The video should be rotated soon, it takes a little bit for the edit to take effect.

    I took this for no other reason then to just see how thick my back's gotten lol Bad lighting but I can definitely see a lot of improvement. This is from the last Pull Day.

    I was gonna do 5x12 with 160 but after the 3rd set I was dying so I decided I'd better not try it lol My cardio continues to hinder my squatting, I seriously need to start doing sled sprints or something. The purpose of this leg day is to give my spine a rest so I won't ever do RDL's or Snatch DL's after Squatting, it's just some higher volume accessories to procure some hypurtrofiez. I could be wrong, but i think my External Rotators actually had DOMS today lol I don't think I've ever felt sore there before, I guess this means I'm finally hitting them correctly My Lats are incredibly sore so I might actually take a day off tomorrow instead of having a Pull Day, I'll see how I feel tomorrow morning after I stuff myself with food today.

    Unfortunately, I was short on time today so the overall volume was a good amount lower then normal. I set up the Chains differently this time though so it was about the same as the 155 sets last time. My Lats were outrageously sore today and it definitely affected my pressing strength, I'm gonna switch back to Legs/Push/Pull and see if that's any better. Over a month of working out 7 days a week and I still feel fine lol My elbow pain even went away. I think over the next few months my body will really adapt to this higher frequency and maybe even produce quicker gains then I'm getting now

    The Pull-Up numbers are pathetic because I'm finally using a full ROM with Pull Ups, I used to only go about halfway down and it was significantly easier lol These should go up relatively quick though. I've literally never done Pullovers for Lats before so I thought I'd add them in from now on and see if I notice any difference in Lat Size and what not, I did them standing btw.

    I'm switching it back to Legs/Push/Pull so I figured I would just do slightly higher rep work today since I did a Pull session the day before yesterday. I keep making mistakes in regards to switching exercises for A & B sessions so I'm gonna make a definitive outline right now...

    It was 207.5 because I used my Ivanko collars and they're exactly 1.25Lbs each lol It was a good amount of weight though, I'll probably bump it to 217.5 next time and try for 5x6 w/ all reps paused at the bottom.

    I phucking knew I would get my EFS Lat Assassin halfway through my workout, this has got to be the 3rd or 4th time this has happened with gym equipment lol I decided to use it for curls and it was tough as hell, especially since I got the Fat Bar version which has 2" handles. I'm pretty shocked at how heavy the thing is, it is definitely between 15-20 pounds so this is without a doubt built to last lol I ordered it before their annual sale and I actually got it cheaper since I got Free Shipping, kind of scummy for them to up shipping rates to compensate for their "sale" imo.

    I'm heading down to my sister's house in N.C. tomorrow and staying until Sunday so I have no idea how I'm gonna be able to lift lol My brother in law has some Kettle bells so I'll probably bring my EFS Bands and just do tons of shoulder pressing and Upper Back work. It'll be a nice break from any spinal loading

    I went down to N.C. on Tuesday and got back earlier today. While I was down there I did a bunch of stuff with kettle bells and bands but nothing worth writing down since I don't have any kettle bells to progress with in my gym lol Anyway, today would have been a Leg Day but after being in the car for 12 hours my lower back was absolutely shot so I decided to give my spine a break and do some Floor Pressing. My goal was to get 24 reps with the 135+2C/Side and it was easier then I expected, I probably should have just gone for 3x8 but whatever lol I didn't want to go up in weight from last time because my shoulders also took a beating from sitting down in the car for so damn long.

    I'm pumped to hit Pull Day tomorrow because I'll finally be using the Lat Assassin for Pulldowns, hopefully this will bring up both my forearms and my Lats. My Lats are by far my most developed body part but imo they can never be too big lol

    The Lat Assassin weighs a little more then 20Lbs so that's why the weights are all off, I think it was about 22 but I won't bother factoring that into the weights I'm using. I found out I can't use the L.A. for Seated Cable Rows because it rubs against my legs and makes the entire movement really awkward so I just left it on the Low Pulley and did a BOR variation instead.

    11/27/12: Push A
    Floor Press- 135+2Cx5,5, 145+2Cx5,5, 155+2Cx5
    Incline Ring Flys- BWx12,12,12
    A.)Decline EZ-Bar Exts.- 72.5x12,12,12,12
    B.)Side Laterals- 20x12,12,12,12
    Assassin Pushdowns- 80x12,12,12,12,12


    It may seem like I've been doing the same thing for Ring Flys each week but I adjust my body so they're slightly more difficult each week lol I am definitely progressing, but anything more then 3 sets seems to really take a toll on my shoulders. Everything is moving up nicely though, I probably could have gotten 8 if I went all out on the 155+2C set. For the Floor Pressing, I only pause on the ground for the last rep because if I do it for every rep, I get out of the groove and it gets messy real quick. I just focus on controlling the weight during the eccentric and concentric.
