PullinBig's Training Log

[PullinBig777]

Hey everyone, I'm new here. Thought I would start a log so I can track my progress and others can see what I'm doing. Hopefully I can get to know some of you guys on here. I'm 5'11", 320 pounds, around 10% bodyfat. I used to compete in powerlifting, but now I just train for fun. I used to be very obese, but I switched more to bodybuilding because I was tired of being strong but fat. Anyway, here's today's training.

Calves and Hams:

Seated Calf Raises with bands
- several sets with reps ranging from 6-25

Romanian Deadlift
- worked up to 365 x 6

That's it today. Short and sweet. If you've never tried calf raises with bands I would highly recommend them. They force you into the negative and multiply the intensity poundages as you're nearing contraction. It makes it much more difficult to cheat.

Shoulders and Triceps today.

Hammer Strength Shoulder Press:
- worked up to 8 reps with 3 plates per side

Smith Machine Shoulder Press:
- pause at bottom
- 3 sets of 8

Various lateral raises

Hammer Strength Seated Shrugs with bands. I always do shrugs with bands. It makes 2 plates feel like 4. Your traps stay under constant tension.

Close Grip Bench:
3 sets of 6

Seated Dips

Pressdowns, overhead extensions, etc.
