What are you training tomorrow and what is your planned progess?

[pharmamarketer]

DL 8 sets of 405 x5.

[induced_drag]

Tomorrow will be my first workout since my surgery.

As for my plan.....I just have to restrain myself from wanting to go in and lift heavy sh!t! Personality flaw for sure....but I am proud I took a full week off. I promised my wife I would listen to the Dr. I think I am more afraid of her then getting hurt from returning too early Hell, all that nice sympathy, the breakfasts in bed...etc would all go down the tubes if I hurt myself lifting weights too early.

So my only goal is to come out without hurting myself!

40 reps at 405 is no joke! Frikkin' beast status! How long do you think that will take?

No ****! Nice job Pharma....and Busta, 575# deadlift? That is a lot of weight for a "skinny" guy

I take about 5-7 minute breaks. Sometimes a little longer sometimes less. But to be clear I have only hit 6 sets of 5 reps at that weight. It is a long shot to get all 8 sets done at that weight. But we'll see?


ID--Glad to hear you bit the bullet and joined the club.

Today is 5/3/1 deadlift day.

Goal is to get 295 for at least 6 reps.

Warm up weight for many of you, but it's where I'm at.

Wow. It's inspiring to see some of the big numbers in this thread.

I deadlifted 295x7. Next week will be my first attempt at 315 and a PR.

Tomorrow is OHP and the goal is 140x5.

[ArchAngel'73]

I scoped out a hottie last night and today I'm going to get her number! -srs

I rarely plan my training with weight, reps, and sets.
Its time to phucking train...I just let the awesomeness happen.-also srs

[m314]

Standing overhead press - 4 sets at 135, my first time pressing 135 since my injury last spring. Working my way back to a bodyweight press or equivalent.

Barbell rows - 135? First time attempting those since the injury

Body weight dips - 4 sets of 10 to 15 reps depending on how tired my arms are after OHP

Upright rows - 4 sets of 10 at 90 pounds. I'm not really pushing myself with those until my arm is healed.

overhead press
95 - 6
135 - 8, 7, 6, 5.5 (failed on last rep)

bb bent over rows
95 - 10
135 - 10, 10, 8, 8

dips
12, 12, 11, 10

ez bar upright rows
90 - 10, 10, 10, 8


That was painful. Painful but good. It felt great just to press 135 again. It will feel light again at some point soon.

I felt like pussying out near the end, but I finished the workout because of this thread. This was a good idea.

Impressive deads for sure! Yep, I bit the bullet too.

Glad to see it does not look like it is holding you back!


Hopefully I'll be back soon too!

Don't worry, your nuts will tell you what is ok and what isn't

Tomorrow's Training: Chest, Tricep Hypertrophy
1) Increase Wide Grip Flat Bench to 155 lbs from 145 lbs @ 4 sets x 8 - 12 reps
2) Increase Incline DB Flys to 35 lbs from 30 lbs @ 4 sets x 12 to 15 reps (Superset with #1)
3) Increase Overhead DB Extension for 65 lbs to 70 lbs @ 2 sets x 8 - 12 Reps
4) Increase DB Kickbacks from 30 lbs to 35 lbs @ 3 sets x 8 - 12 reps

Shouldn't be a problem, I completely expect to achieve this. The bigger question is Friday when I'll be doing a lower body power routine. I hope to squat 255 lbs @ 7 sets x 2 reps. Up from 240 lbs 7 sets x 3 reps. I fully expect to achieve this as well.

Semi-successful today.
Wide Grip Bench - 155 lbs. 4 x 8 (low end of my target rep range)
Incline DB Fly - 35 lbs. 4 x 15 (upper end of target rep range)
Overhead DB Extension - 70 lbs. 1 x 8 and 1 x 7 (8 - 12 rep range)
DB Kickback - 35 lbs. 3 x 12 (upper end of rep range)

Definitely disappointed on the wide grip bench and somewhat disappointed on the DB overhead extension.

No ****! Nice job Pharma....and Busta, 575# deadlift? That is a lot of weight for a "skinny" guy

Haha, not 575# yet.....maybe next week brother!

570# deadlift single

Hit it, but just barely. See vid below:

[bodyhard]

My accountability, up the Arnolds by 20lbs, got 4 hard f'cking reps!

Also upped the OHP by 10lbs per side, got 4 reps as well

Nice job Busta, that was very smooth, you have 575 in ya. Would rep but on the spread.

Best vid I've seen on this site so far Matt.

Mrs. Busta checking you out the whole time but pretending not to, then her big grin when you got the lift.

That's awesome. Just awesome.

Donated some green skittles on your behalf.

[pvsampson]

Hit my goal with my deads,but only some of the others.I put it in my journal.

[pharmamarketer]

DL 8 sets of 405 x5.

Checking in to hold myself accountable. I only got 5 of the 8. Still felt good

[EB68]

Legs tomorrow. Going to up squats from 280 to 295.

Failed at 295 today. I have been feeling weak and light headed all day though. I will try again next week.

[dunemonkey]

I'm on an A/B split, kind of Starting strengthish, a little weird.

Anyway, I'm gradually working on bench press form, so nothing to report there but strict ass form work.

Going for 90x10 incline dumbells

Deadlifts, 305x6

Pendlay Rows 175x8

I did both the deads and incline dumbell numbers three weeks ago, but last back/chest workout failed at both after a week off sick as hell. Pissed, will get them tomorrow and then move forward. Damn it.

Success! Deadlifts 305 x 6

Failure. 90x10 incline (though I decided to start 5x5 on Flat bench today before incline dumbells, which I have been doing first). Still, excuses are like *******s, failed at 8.

Failed at the rows too. Did 8, but didn't finish the last two reps. Can't count 'em.

Still, thanks for the motivation, was pretty tired today.

[BobbyOrr1965]

Rest-pause work concentration curls, different rest-pause work with tris. An intense but pretty easy day. I am working on losing some fat around the stomach so there is cardio too. Also I am adding muscle. And I find holding stretching positions actually helps muscle growth and strength.

[BC02]

squats 335 5x5
db lunges 100s 4x6
good mornings 250 3x5
leg curl stack 2x8

2 mile interval run on tm

[bodyhard]

Tonight is deads so I am either going to upped the reps on my last set or the weight.

With deadlifts I have to go by feel. So depending on how I feel tonight will dictate the outcome.

But either way I will up the ante on all lifts tonight.

Deadlifts
Pull ups
BOR

This is a good thread FLEX!!

[m314]

I thought this was about Thursday's workout at first. I love the idea of keeping this as an ongoing thread. There's always the next workout to look forward to.

Today I'm just doing some light curls and pushdowns (whatever my arm can tolerate) along with cardio. I can't go heavy with those until the arm is healed. In case I'm offline over the weekend, this is Monday's workout:

bench - 4 sets at 225, more reps than last time
shrugs - 4 sets at 225, more reps than last time
incline bench - 4 sets at 145 (going up from 135)
cable rows - 4 sets at 210 (going up from 195)
20 minutes of cardio

[BobbyOrr1965]

Back tomorrow. Width and thickness. Chins and rows. Stretching and balancing exercises. Meditation for various reasons and mind muscle connection work, so that the training itself is meditative. Cardio.

[bodyhard]

Accountability, upped the weight on deadlifts by 40lbs and hit 3 reps. Was doing the last set for 6 prior to the added weight.

Upped the weight on BOR by 40lbs as well and did 2 reps.

Pull ups added 2 extra reps

[soonerman4life]

Tonight was the most disappointing workout I've had in a long time. Was attempting 7 sets of 255 x 2 on squats tonight. Struggled with the first rep but got it, attempted another, dumped the bar. Lowered the weight to 240 which 2 weeks ago I did 3 reps x 7 sets. Failed on those too. So I scraped the workout tonight and I'll pick it up tomorrow morning. My wife has had the flu all week and although I didn't catch it, I'm wondering if I'm fighting it off and that's sapping my strength.

Tonight was a big FAIL!!

Don't push yourself tomorrow if it doesn't feel right. I felt weak like that too a few weeks ago. I had to get some work done on my car the next morning, so I ended up walking home a couple miles in the cold weather. I felt fine at the car repair place, but by the time I finished the walk I was miserable with the flu. Kinda sucked. I might have been able to fight it off if I hadn't pushed myself that morning.
