Notes
Decent workout. These exercises show my weakness so it seems. I'm never good at benching and hesitant on going heavy, but 175 felt pretty good. I'll try 180 next week.
I seem to be the opposite w/ everyone else on declines. I find these much harder then flat/inclines (w/ dbs at least). Probobly due to the increased ROM.
I don't understand pulldowns. I can do 180x10x2 on chins (bw+10), yet I'm only doing ~130 on the machine

DB rows were nice but always exhausing. It'll be a while till I catch up to rick on these..... 100's next week.
I planned on supersetting arms, but opted not. I stopped at 75x3 on ez-bar curls after the first set of skulls and knew it was futile to train biceps today.
Tommorrow's lower w/ front squats

, lunges and some machine work.... shouldn't be too bad, but expect some low #'s on front squats

Yeah, I love DB rows, but they are so damn tiring.

I dont get how you can OVerhead DB extend 70's X 10 but only skull crush 85lbs...

I cant do DB ext with 70's and I can skull crush at least 100lbs X 12

how so? They're pretty much the same motion.... I'm wondering why you can only use 70s on db ext

I cant do DB ext with 70's and I can skull crush at least 100lbs X 12

I've seen a video of you doing 115x7.... but those were tri extensions, not skulls. I keep my upper arm strictly perpindicular to the ground while doing em

Well, because true skulls hurt my elbows....

Nice workout Wait

**JFP** · 09-08-2005, 03:40 PM

Good workout bro.

**j_neatherlin** · 09-08-2005, 04:34 PM

good stuff...that's a lot of stuff in one day.

why the dip in strength on the second set of decline?

**waitlifter82** · 09-08-2005, 04:37 PM

wait until you see the weeks ahead..... in two weeks add 10 sets to this workout

why the dip in strength on the second set of decline?

big time failure on the first set + too short rest I think

**heavylifter954** · 09-08-2005, 05:32 PM

i can do overhead db extensions with 95 lb db but cant skullcrush more then 60 lbs it bothers my elbows and feels like ****

**DARBP2** · 09-08-2005, 06:07 PM

I'll be careful to notice any pain/discomfort while doing these. I hear a lot of this

eh, it would be nice to bring my bench up. That way I can answer this question (which I receive a lot):
Other: Man, Michael you been working out... how much can you bench?

Notes
Low volume workout, which my body needed. I'm much stronger on front squats then before, but still slow getting out of the hole. Wrist flexiblity isn't there once again. Didn't hit failure (but was close), so 165-170 next week.
DB Lunges were okay. Hamstrings are still tight/sore due to sprinting on Wednesday so didn't push myself on these or curls.
Only leg exercise I hit failure on was the last set of leg press. Stupid machine if lil' ol' me can do the stack 20 times. I should of done the plate loaded one instead, but was too lazy to lift all those 45s onto it.

**DARBP2** · 09-09-2005, 12:54 PM

Nice pr on the fronts. Clean grip right? When people ask me how much I bench I just say that Im not gay and walk away. Nice workout wait, rock on.

**JAGERBOY** · 09-09-2005, 01:06 PM

Failure=Fun

**GhostfaceKillah** · 09-09-2005, 01:13 PM

Tell them you have no idea how much you can bench, the chest press on your bowflex is broken.

**heavylifter954** · 09-09-2005, 02:17 PM

lol or you could max out once and tell them your max

will do, lol

well, I must horrible form on bench.... if I have done 100x6 on incline my bench should at least be ~260+. Yet anything over 205 is a struggle..... I blame it on my weak shoulders...... and triceps...... and lats

**j_neatherlin** · 09-09-2005, 04:04 PM

nice work. DC calves are the way to go.

**waitlifter82** · 09-09-2005, 04:30 PM

yup... they're growing too fast though.... I hear that neck, arms, and calves should be similar size.... My neck is barely 14'', arms are 14.6, but calves are closing in on 15.5....I'm going to put Derek's (Beast) calves to shame soon...... okay, maybe not

**j_neatherlin** · 09-09-2005, 05:13 PM

yeah, i've heard the same thing about neck, arm and calf size. I'm just now getting my arms to be about the same size as my calves and my neck is a good bit smaller than both, I think.

that's why I don't do DC calf training...b/c I don't need my calves any bigger.

Those graduating with a degree in computer science are seeing heartier increases. According to NACE, information sciences and systems grads earn $42,375 a year on average. That's up 10.7 percent from a year earlier. Meanwhile, computer science graduates make $49,036 a year, a gain of 4.1 percent

So I passed this up to make a meager living and 5 more grueling years of grad school

...... ah, but I do enjoy learning

**heavylifter954** · 09-09-2005, 06:10 PM

yea you can most likely do 260+ but when i was doing 100's x 4 on incline i couldnt do 260....i was better with db's but not anymore

WHen I was using 110's X 4 on incline DB...I was benching 280 X 4-5 reps

**JAGERBOY** · 09-09-2005, 06:55 PM

What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate the whole... wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? Heck, I'm not even mad; that's amazing! How 'bout we get you in your p.j.'s and we hit the hay.

oh, okay

First of all, I don't think you have the balls to minor in computer science

Secondly, one of my friends just graduated last spring w/ an econ. degree (he switched from CS to Econ. b/c he couldn't take the CS work load)..... not only is he not making 70k, he can't find a job.... anywhere
