COF(Catsonfire) - The Road to Basic Strength

[Catss]

The objective of my training is to build up a respectable amount of weight in order to lift heavy enough to gain some substantial muscle mass, and build a frame that will last me a lifetime.

However, during my workouts, you may notice I do other exercises other then these.. these are done for the focus of mass to build some more muscle fibers so I have more to recruit for power training. These exercises are done with roughly 40 seconds rest inbetween and the focus is ON THE NEGATIVE.




Current lifts:
- Flat DB Press (2nd workout of DB plane, same for military)
95x3
95x5
95x5

-DB Military Press
70x5
70x5
70x5

- Deadlifts
275x3
275x3
275x3

- Squats
275x3
275x3
275x3'

- Bent Barbell Rows
205x5
205x5
205x5

- Weighted Dips
35x5
35x5
35x5

- Weighted Widegrip Pullups
25x5
25x5
25x5

- Barbell Curls
135x2
135x3
125x4


If I dont go up every week in an exercise, I change exercise. Sometimes if I feel its a bad day, ill give it another week to see.

Goals by end of senior year:
- 405 Deadlift
- 405 Squat
- DB press 100s for high reps (touch chest)
- DB Military 100s for 5 reps (90 degrees)
- 275 Barbell Row
- 90lb Dips
- 90lb Weighted Widegrip Pullups


Let it begin, and I appreciate any support/feedback rather negative or positive. Next workout is tuesday I will shoot for 290 on dead/squat.

Correct. There not as bad as you would think though. Once I can curl 135 for reps I will lock out the form and raise the reps.
