12/26/2005 6:12:02 PM

oh yeah i mean i know how you'd do them, i just never thought of that before

i never used cables much, the movement always felt weird, use to do tricep pushdowns like a mf though

12/26/2005 6:13:46 PM

i cant believe youve never done those....

i mean with all the weightlifting you do..

12/26/2005 6:14:37 PM

shit dude i aint lifted weights in like 3 years

12/26/2005 6:15:31 PM

I've been doing my chest workouts in the morning and going back and doing triceps at night. Gym closed early today. But I like using bands or chains to close grip w/. Too bad I left my Bands in Raleigh .

12/26/2005 6:15:41 PM

i use to hate close grip bench until i started doin em right

then it was like damn this shit works

12/26/2005 6:19:05 PM

with my shoulder injuries, that's pretty much all they want me doing (so i have to go real light on db bench).... when i wanna throw on the weight, i gotta use a machine press

12/26/2005 6:26:59 PM

i remember in the 9th grade i hit 200 on smith machine

i was like hell yeah i'm cool

then i tried to do it with free weight bench and i was like shit

12/26/2005 6:30:36 PM

Brett when are we going to have a weightlifting date

12/26/2005 6:33:33 PM

hahaha i hate the freakin smith machine... at one point (when i was living in wolfcreek) i could do more free weight than i could on the smith machine

12/26/2005 6:34:14 PM

^^haha whenever we're in town... you're probably in better shape than me at this point (I'm becoming quite the porker over break)

12/26/2005 6:37:18 PM

On the slate for Today...

Right Now: Back maybe some DL

Tonight: Bi's, Rear Delts

12/27/2005 11:15:22 AM

for those of you that deadlift at carmichael....

I've seen some EZ curl bars to load weights onto but not a reg. barbell ( I usually use the 2 smaller weight rooms tho)

12/28/2005 2:50:52 AM

Went and did a quick Squat workout w/ chains. 10 sets of 3 reps

12/28/2005 1:09:47 PM

what gym do you go to around here that has chains? I have some weak spots in my bench that I'd like to work out with chains.

12/28/2005 1:15:48 PM

I'm in Northern Virginia right now and my gym has chains.

I have an empty garage at my apartment that I have been thinking about putting in a rack, bench and getting chains and everything.

12/28/2005 1:20:38 PM

I have a bench and about 1000lbs worth of olympic weights back home. when I get a house this summer, I want to go out and get a power rack and set up some chains for training at home.

My only problem with working out at home is it limits what I can safely do. 5x5 training and doggcrapp training aren't really possible without people around to spot you. Volume training just isn't working for me anymore.

12/28/2005 1:24:35 PM

Almost time

12/29/2005 11:20:30 AM

12/30/2005 4:05:11 AM

just thought I'd drop this link for ya'll. normally I just buy Optimum Nutrition, but I'm tempted to make a large order from here since it has been so highly recommended. You can custom order how you want your protein supplement to be composed, and their prices are a lot better for the product than anything you can get in the store. They can also add in dextrose and maltodextrin along with BCAA's and vitamins/minerals for making a superior post workout shake. I'm tempted to order about 20lbs of an ion-exchange whey/BCAA/glutamine/dextrose/maltodextrin mix because that should be cheaper than what I'm currently doing by mixing ON Whey with grape juice.

1/1/2006 7:25:17 PM

how can one be sure that there arent traces of illegal substances in these supplements?

1/1/2006 7:29:08 PM

because they're not charging enough for them to be able to justify putting something like dianabol or winstrol into their protein powder. they got to turn a profit somewhere.

Besides, I know some guys that compete in tested bodybuilding events that use this stuff, and those guys get tested religiously for juice.

http://www.criticalbench.com/chart.htm

is this accurate for you folks?

its the most accurate one I could find on the internet, compared to those bullshit calculators

1/1/2006 8:38:52 PM

those charts don't work. the only chart I've seen that came close only went up to 5 reps working weight and used different factors for bench, squat, and deadlift. I think it was in one of the WestSide Barbell writeups.

For example that chart says that with me benching 315 for 10 I should be able to Max 410. in reality it's closer to 385. However I can deep squat 405 for 6 reps under constant tension, which correlates to 478. that's fairly close to my PR of 485. I can deadlift 405 about 6 times without rest intervals, but my PR is 525 in the squat. that's a difference of almost 50lbs from the chart.

If you want to find out your 1 rep max, just start using heavier weights for lighter reps and just do the damn thing when you feel ready.

1/1/2006 8:55:18 PM

ran 1.5 miles.

did some free weight biceps and couple machines.

1/3/2006 2:29:39 PM

Yay, time to rock n' roll

1/3/2006 7:17:18 PM

what does everyone's training regimen look like? Do most people do volume training or high set strength training? Anyone here doing low volume training, such as HIT, hardgainer, or DC training?

1/3/2006 7:40:26 PM

this week im doing a mainantence workout

all my lifts were 3 sets of 10 except for the push jerks and the power cleans


normally im doing 3 sets of 5 for power and intensity, and my core workouts are like back extensions and plate walks

and about 200 reps of abs in either a circuit or physio crunches

1/3/2006 7:43:41 PM

I used to do high volume training, but lately I've switched to 1-2 sets of compound exercises with only 2-4 sets per muscle group, and it's working rather well.

This summer I'm going to switch to a 5x5 system again.

1/3/2006 7:50:09 PM

Fuck, I had a shitty workout today. I'm going back to 2-a-days starting tomorrow.

1/3/2006 10:28:34 PM
