Cant wait to start!!

[Bruins10]

So today was Upper Body and Cardio. And i tried to do the best I could until I had to throw up haha
Second Upper Body day in Week 5 of Modern Physique

Was about 7:20 A.M. when I went to the gym

Incline BB Bench SUPERSET Incline DB Row
BB Bench: 4 sets of 10 reps at 135lbs
Incline DB Row: 4 sets of 6 reps, with a 4 second hold at the top of the rep. Was 40lbs dumbbells
*Didn't really feel the preworkout until the 4th set. Something hit me, was so explosive with the reps and I was feeling good. Couldnt stop moving lol

Chin Up SUPERSET Neutral DB Bench Press
Chin Up: Was bodyweight at 15 reps, 3 sets
Neutral DB Press: First set, i tried to do 60lbs but I failed at around 7.5 reps. So I dropped it to 55 and was a lot better
*Sipping on the BCAA was good. But I was starting to get a stomach ache and bloated. I guess the amount of liquid consumed early in the morning or short amount of time

SkullCrusher SUPERSET BB Curls
I use the same bar and the same weight for both exercises. Makes it a lot easier for me to switch and start right away
So its a EZ bar with 20lbs on each side.
SC and BB: 4 sets of 8 with a 4second count on eccentric
This is a burner and when I started burping at a weird amount. I knew something was up because I have already threw up in the past at the gym from an intense leg day. Was the same feeling

Alternate Hammer Curls SUPERSET Lying Tricep DB
Hammer Curls: Only did 1 set of 8 reps at 40lbs
Tricep Extension: 7 reps at 25lbs DB.
Ran to the bathroom lol. I started burping on my reps of triceps and really needed to let it out. Once I threw up, I had no motivation to continue and was so demoralized from the experience. Gonna make sure to kill it when the next upper body comes and also, no tapping out.

[Bruins10]

Had a house party yesterday night, so this morning was going to be rough. I enjoyed myself, but I also had to get up and go kill it today

Half a scoop of MyPre, I want to slowly increase my intake. i think the 1 whole scoop was just too much to handle
Sipped through the BCAA during my workout. really needed it to give me some energy

Sumo Deadlift SUPERSET Bands Apart
DL: 4 sets of 3 at 285lbs
Bands apart: Well, whatever was there. Didnt look at resisitance or anything
Didnt really get a kick yet. But yet is the key word

Rear DB Lunges SUPERSET Single Leg Tuck
DB Lunges: 4 sets of 2 reps per leg at 60lbs DBs
Single Leg Tuck is just body weight for 4 sets of 4 reps
Wow. Was I ever feeling energized for these exercises. I was jumping and I think I could have wenty on for so many reps haha. But I followed the program

GIANT SET
Leg press: 3 sets of 15 reps at 6 plates
Lying Leg Curl (Didnt have the seated one available): 3 sets of 15 reps at 105lbs
Leg Extensions: 3 sets of 15 reps at 150lbs
Walking Lunges was done BW. 16 reps
Brutal. Wow wow wowwwww!! I suggest trying this to finish off a workout because I was so sore. The last two exercises just kill you. The BCAA was done after the first set, and I think I could have used more for the rest of the workout

tomorrow will be a well deserved rest day. I am so exhausted right now

That's DEDICATION.

Reading through this gives me motivation to hit the gym harder! Thank you! Awesome start!

[SkyFlight23]

Those supersets are no joke. I'm sure you get a sick pump, even though you might feel like dying. lol

[Bruins10]

Haha yeahh. Its fun to enjoy yourself, but when its time to grind, no excuses
Glad I have that affect on you bud. We all here to motivate eachother and make sure we are bettering ourself day in and day out

Those supersets are no joke. I'm sure you get a sick pump, even though you might feel like dying. lol

Yeah they are tough. But ive been going this long with this program, not gonna quit when the going gets tough. Its even more of a reason to hit it harder

[SkyFlight23]

What's your goal weight? 165?

[Bruins10]

What's your goal weight? 165?

Honestly, I have no idea. 165 seems pretty low to me, ive always been a heavy kid
Im like 184 right now. I had 170 in my mind, once I get there Ill see how I actually look. 165 is probably the lowest Ill go now that I think about it

[Bruins10]

Yesterday was week 6, and my first day of upper body

Today, was my leg day. SO DISAPPOINTED
I injured my knee a couple years back. 3 weeks ago, I aggravated it, and I hurt it today on squats. Sucks cause it was my first exercise and I couldnt continue. Limping right now

Squats: I was able to do the 4 sets that it calls for. But my last set was only 2 reps
Warm up: 95lbs for 8
Warm up: 135 for 8
Work: 3 sets of 6 reps at 195
Work: 2 reps at 205 and then I hurt my knee

Stretched it out, walked it out. But damn it hurts

Are you using a foam roller/lacrosse ball? It helps out a lot!

[Heizz]

Ah, sorry to hear about the knee...

Definitely want to take that slow. Worst thing you can do is push it when you're not 100%.

[Bruins10]

A lot of people tell me I should use a lacrosse ball. I should really start rehab to my knee

Especially smtg serious like a knee. Its one of the things I dont want to force

You should visit your local sporting goods store. A lacrosse ball will only cost you a few dollars. I've been using the same one for 3 years.



He does an excellent job demonstrating the different exercises for myofascial release.

Gonna give this a look. Especially since I did legs today and it didn't hurt. But id rather play it safe

[Bruins10]

Had mypre and the bcaa. I'm starting to fall inlove with how they taste its crazy. I enjoy drinking it so much. Adding a little lemon juice to the Blue MyPRE does wonders btw

Dynamic-effort sumo deadlift
4 sets of 3 reps at 285lbs

Dynamic band pull
4 sets of 5 reps, rest 90 sec. between supersets
Felt pretty good after this superset. But I decided to skip the reverse lung and tuck jump. The jump caused a lot of pain when I just tried it out so I just didn't want to force it

GIANT SET
Leg press
3 sets of 15 reps at 8 plates

LyingHamstring curl (THe seated one was taken)
3 sets of 15 reps at 105lbs

Leg extension
3 sets of 15 reps at 150

Dumbbell walking lunge
3 sets of 16 total steps BW
I have a love hate relationship with this giant set haha. I love the burn and the amount I push myself. But I am so gassed when I finish up this set, I just go home and lie down. I cant move. The walking lunges are the hardest part of this set, cause you so exhausted from the first 3 exercises. I am so glad that I take a pre and bcaa because I was never able to fiish 3 sets before that. Id be too burnt to go through with it

Seeing results so far. And I'm slimming down. Had a couple birthday parties, the alcohol did ruin me. But that means I have to make up for it this coming week

I just recently incorporated walking dumbbell lunges into my leg day. Consensus? Absolute brutal, but I enjoy it!

Ill second that consensus haha. Its ridiculous. My gym is on the second floor of a building, I dread the stairs when I finish

[SkyFlight23]

How's your week going so far?

[Bruins10]

How's your week going so far?

Good. I took my rest day on Monday and did my upperbody and cardio workout yesterday. Will post it up now

[Bruins10]

Went to eat at my grandmothers house before going to the gym. We all know that means I ate like a champ.Plus the pre workout, was feeling pretty bloated on the way to the gym. But, my pump was good. Was feeling hyped on the drive so I knew it could have been good or bad haha. Could have either had a great workout or such a pushing workout I was gonna get a stomach ache.


BENCH PRESS
5 sets of 2 reps, rest 2 min. between sets. Weight: 195lbs
Was actually pretty surprised with the amount I was able to lift. Was a tough day, didnt think id be able to get under this much weight. Im not complaining, thats forsure


BOARD PRESS
3 sets of 2 reps, rest 2 min. between sets. Weight 205lbs
I screwed up on this exercise. For some reason, I thought I had to do 5 sets at 2 reps. I realized it right now that I had to do less, oh well lol. I guess the volume is good for me


SUPERSET
PULL-UP
5 sets of 4 reps (4-count eccentric)
1-1/4 INCLINE DUMBBELL BENCH PRESS
5 sets of 4 reps (4-count eccentric), rest 2 min. between supersets
I didnt think this was going to be that tough. The 4 count eccentric kills you, just tears and burns you like no idea. The BCAAs did come in clutch. Sipping on it does give more energy that I can realize now. Compared to before, when I got the stack.

GIANT SET
MACHINE DECLINE BENCH PRESS
3 sets of 6-8 reps. 2 plates on each side

REVERSE-GRIP LAT PULL-DOWN
3 sets of 6-8 reps 195lbs

MACHINE SHOULDER PRESS
3 sets of 6-8 reps. 120lbs

T-BAR CHEST-SUPPORTED ROW
3 sets of 6-8 reps, weight of 2 plates
rest 30 sec. between exercises, 2 min. between giant sets, fail in the rep range
WOWOWOWW. By the time I get to the shoulder press, I am already dreading these exercises. All that food was starting to toss and turn, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Pushed through and did all 3 sets. I think I could have went a little heavier with the shoulder press and the t-bar supported rows. Ill make sure to do the most I can next time


BIKE SPRINT
12 rounds: 25 sec. work, 35sec. rest
I dont like using the treadmill sprint. I use my bike and decided to change the amount of rest I use. Just a preference and I think the end result is the same.

Yesterday was the day that I really realized the progress I am making. My chest looks fuller, my arms have increased in size and wow my back got really thick. These 2 last weeks of this program will be the most important time from what I can see. I have to stay with my diet and really push through every time I step foot in the gym.

[Bruins10]

Just to clarify, the post above was yesterdays workout but my workout today is the leg day below

Had school till about 1 oclock. Came home, shook my preworkout, sipped on it while I listened to some music. Always a great way to get into the zone

BACK SQUAT
6 sets of 6 (185), 4 (195), 3 (205), 3, 4, 6 reps (pyramid), rest 3 min. between sets
Surprised with the amount of weight I was able to use. Especially since I have my bad knee, I still get under some heavy weight. I do get scared and nervous when I start increasing the weight. One slight movement and it could be game over. Clearly, I dont get into a good enough zone if I worry about my injuries. All in all, a great beginning to my workout

GIANT SET
3
LEG PRESS
3 sets of 6-8 reps with 8 plates
Would fail at 8 reps for all 3 sets. Was hesitant to add a some more weight so I stuck with it, focused on the contraction

LYING HAMSTRING CURL
3 sets of 6-8 reps at 120lbs. I dont know if this is a lot for you guys, but it sure is a lot for me. I think its acutally the first time I get 120lbs on the machine for this, so I am happy about that. Probably cause I didnt do any other hammy exercises

LEG EXTENSION
3 sets of 6-8 reps at 165lbs. Serious pump when I sit down here. Gotta use all my energy to do atleast 6 reps and I still have the hack squat left

HACK SQUAT
3 sets of 6-8 reps with a plate on each side, rest 30 sec. between exercises, 2 min. between giant sets, fail in the rep range
I go really slow on hack squats. Im not sure if I can do more weight but I burn with the last few reps. Thats what I strive for

[Heizz]

PWO + Blasting Music, there's nothing better.

These workouts are fantastic.

You seem to be pushing a lot of weight with the legs, so I hope that the knee is doing better!

[SkyFlight23]

BIKE SPRINT
12 rounds: 25 sec. work, 35sec. rest
I dont like using the treadmill sprint. I use my bike and decided to change the amount of rest I use. Just a preference and I think the end result is the same.

I've really enjoyed my cardio runs after lifting. It's a different type of high.

I've never been big on cardio...

Though cutting season is coming & I don't really wanna lower my cals... so we'll see, haha

[SkyFlight23]

@Bruins, what type of earbuds do you use? I'm contemplating purchasing a pair of Bluetooth earbuds for the convenience and lack of stress of dangling cords while running/lifting.

[1JFS3]

@Bruins, what type of earbuds do you use? I'm contemplating purchasing a pair of Bluetooth earbuds for the convenience and lack of stress of dangling cords while running/lifting.

Take it from me bro, it's worth it. I went ahead and bought beats powerbeats 2 wireless, best things ever.

Solid log Bruins; going to stick around for the rest!

Yeah I BLAST music when I workout. I usually nod my head or sing a little when I workout. Especialy when you energized with that MyPre. Its hard to stand still lmaoo

@Bruins, what type of earbuds do you use? I'm contemplating purchasing a pair of Bluetooth earbuds for the convenience and lack of stress of dangling cords while running/lifting.

I have a pair of sony headsets. Like fully loaded, noise reduction and everything. My uncle bought them for me, almost 200$, the quality of sound is ridiculous

Take it from me bro, it's worth it. I went ahead and bought beats powerbeats 2 wireless, best things ever.

Solid log Bruins; going to stick around for the rest!

Thanks for sticking around man, its appreicated. You guys push me harder, and I hope I do the same. We all trying to better ourselves
Ill look into the wireless ones!! Just really love the quality of sound that I get with my headset haha

[SkyFlight23]

$200?

[Bruins10]

$200?

LMAOOO! I dont really know the price exactly but I remember him saying they were expensive. I was throwing out a number there

[1JFS3]

That's the art of it, man. Feed off of other's intensity, allow that to help you motivate others--vicious cycle!

I paid $80 for my beats; some list owned by a guy named Craig, found them brand new
