New Workout Blog Project.

I have not been updating my workout routine  progress for a while now as you can see, but will be helping to start a nifty new workout blog where i hope to be able to contribute some quality workout advice, content, workout routines, etc.

Gaining weight

havn’t been posting much lately…Just  to post my progress. I am a little over two months into my bulking and I have achieved my heaviest weight ever!!! All of my lifting stats are up along with my body weight. I am still around 8-9% BF I would guess. I am fluctuating between 212 and even hit 215 a couple of times. I’ll be bulking a few more weeks before the diet begins the first of May.

Arms Training again…

It is time for arms again (biceps / triceps). I had a good weekend… but I didnt eat as well as I should have. I missed a few meals yesterday. But I am now back on track. It is already turning out to be a busy week. I will be changing up the order of our exercises today… We will probably start out with incline curls and superset them with decline, close-grip bench presses…Blast those biceps and triceps!

Short but intense shoulder workout

So I hit up the shoulders pretty good yesterday. I started out with some heavy, seated dumbell presses. We superset these with standing barbell shoulder presses. After doing about 10 reps with the 85’s… I struggled to get 6 reps with 135 on the bar. My shoulders were anihalated! I also did a bunch of lateral and front raises. And I hit the rear delts good too. I had to be back to work by 1 pm for a meeting… so I did not have a lot of time… but it was still a good workout.

Today is back day. Heavy deadlifts and heavy bent-over rows are always the foundation of my back workouts. I have been increasing my reps on deadlifts at 405. Last week was 8 quick reps. Today I will be trying for 10

Leg Day Was Great

I had a pretty intense leg workout yesterday. My squats were great. I felt strong – and my knee felt fine. Here’s what my workout looked like:

- Heavy barbell squats

- Stiff-leg deadlifts

- Front barbell squats

- Forward lunges

- Heavy leg presses

- Lying leg curls.

I had a great pump in my legs and I could barely walk up the stairs to the locker room. I ate pretty good yesterday too. The only thing I am lacking now is sleep. I will probably need to catch a nap when I get home from work (because I am beyond tired). Today is shoulders. See ya at the gym!

Yesterdays Workout Training

So Last posts workout was ok – not one of my best. But I managed to get through it. I did cable push-downs, close-grip bench, standing dumbell curls, weighted dips, standing EZ bar curls, incline curls, and decline skull-crushers. I weighed myself yesterday and somehow I have dropped another 5 pounds! Not good. I am now down around 205 – 207. So I need to increase the calories and be a bit more consistent.

Yesterday was leg day. Although I did not have time to do a lot of exercises… The ones I did hit were intense. Instead of increasing my weight on squats.. I have been increasing my reps on each set. I was able to get 20 super deep reps with 225, 15 deep reps with 315, and six super deep reps with 405. It felt great. I also did several sets of lying leg curls and some really heavy leg presses.

Today is completely shoulders! I will probably work some abs in too. I have been off the NO Xplode for a while now…. And my workouts are suffering without it. Loss of drive! So its time to reorder. See you at the gym!

Still Working out hard

Don’t worry homies… I am still here and training harder then ever. I have made some very nice improvements  particularly  in my shoulders. I have been very successful in keeping the bodyfat under control this summer – while bulking. I have received a lot of great compliments that I am looking bigger than ever – when in reality – my weight is down a tad bit. I am hovering around 212 to 215 and really happy with my definition at this weight. I am still using my new training split:

Monday – Arms – Biceps / Triceps

Tuesday – Legs – Quads and Hamstrings

Wednesday – Shoulders

Thursday – Back

Friday – Chest

So today is arms day. I will be attacking them with lots of supersets and drop sets. My elbow is feeling great. The only pain I have now is in my right knee on leg day. I am switching to some higher reps on legs and taking more time to warm up. I’ll post up my workout tomorrow.

Heavy Leg Lifts

Heavy leg day! Heavy squats, Heavy leg presses… It is going to be an obliteration of my legs. I am loving being back on the NO-Xplode . Hopefully I will have a spotter today… or I won’t be able to go as heavy on the squats. I really need to make time for some lunges and hamstring work – as I have been slacking in those areas.  I love working the legs…

Not Good, but still good

…for tasting like pure crap, 45g of protein and the good feeling I felt working out today in the gym and afterwards was pretty noticeable… weird. I even had some more when I got home for my post-workout recovery meal. Guess I’ll have to give the other two cans a chance as well haha. All sets and reps were 3/8-10 with a couple reps done on rest-pause.

• Wide Grip Lat Pulldown 140/160/170 (2 rest-pause)
• Seated Cable Row 110/120/130
• Straight arm pulldown 90/100/100
• Cable Curl 100/110/120
• Concentration Curl 35/40/35 (2 R-p)

I think tomorrow is leg day

Chest Workout

I worked out my chest yesterday and was not lifting as heavy as i hoped but i am planning on going to 5 a week routine soon. i am currently on 3 day a week workout routine. I think that I’m not stimulating the muscles quite enough.  so I’m gonna switch  next month to a 5 day a week workout routine.
