Forgot to do chin ups, da heck. And external rotations.

If I could get to 225 for 3x5 on the bench before I go on vacation June 1st, that would be friggen awesome! The way my bench is progressing right now makes me believe I will.

Also, I now randomly get boners when touching myself even when not trying to masturbate. Like I'll be sitting on the computer, reading shit, hand in my pants, and it'll get me hard. This hasn't happened in like 7 months. Pretty sure I could have sex without viagra now. Met this colombian exchange student and i get super horny when we text and shit. cant fuck her yet because our schedules just dont line up :/

These sex updates will stop once i'm back to normal. then I'll get my test levels checked again to see if that was the culprit. I was at 520 ng/dl i think, which is in the "normal" range. But i dont think it's normal FOR ME to be at that level, know what i mean?

I feel refreshed after this workout. My squat form feels amazing: since I've been doing pull ups i've noticed I can actually flex my lats now. I engage my lats in the squat now; a good cue is to pretend im squeezing a tennis ball between my armpits and that tightens them up. Keeps my upper torso RIGID.

Can't wait to lift upperbody tomorrow. That'll be 3 workouts in a row but I feel fine.

For my whole life I barely had any delts. My triceps would always take over the movement (also barely had pecs for this reason as well).

Anyone else experience this?


FWIW:

So what I did was STOP overhead pressing and only do lateral raises. Train the triceps less.
Also did wide grip on bench to focus more on pecs and less on triceps.

Result: pecs are now one of my BEST body parts, and my upper arms are bigger than my tris/bis now.

I love the feeling of taking slightllly exaggerated steps with glutes flexed hard to stretch the hip flexors. I'd love to try this.

Going to squat Thursday (which is today at the time that I'm writing this) and doing upper body again Friday.

That way I'll be on track to deadlift on Sunday.

I really miss full body workouts. And supposedly they help stimulate hormones n stuff.

Thinking of doing push/pull instead of upper/lower. Would look something like:

Squat 3x5
Bench 3x5
DB Incline Bench 2x12
Lateral Raises 5x12
DB Shoulder Press 3x8
Calf Raises 3x12

Deadlift 1x5
Leg curls 3x12
Chin ups 3x5
Pull ups 2x12
Pendlay rows 3x5
Seated cable rows 3x12
Hanging Leg Raises 3x10

Not to mention I'd be squatting and deadlifting twice a week almost...this would be an every-other-day split. 1 on 1 off, to avoid squatting and then deadlifting the next day.

I'll probably test this out after the summer.

Got worse at chin ups dammit. Everything else improved. Will move up bench to 210lbs for next workout. DB's will stay at 50's for now.

why do you need to figure out how much the hack squat machine weighs? you're just measuring improvement from a baseline. it's not like "hack squat calf raises" something you can compete in.

just curious, you're right though it really doesn't matter
would only matter if I also decide to lift at a different gym with another hack squat. I might start doing this on deadlift day since my current gym doesnt have round plates  >:(


also, was extremely horny yesterday. fuck that felt good. too bad i dont have any girls in my rotation right now (one moved away, the other got fed up with me)... gotta go out more. i havent improved my lifts since like fucking october. on top of that my appetite has been shot since then, but its slowly coming back. i feel like my hormones are balancing themselves or something. lifts coming back, appetite coming back, libido coming back. this is good.

Can't wait to lift Wednesday. Shit. This is awesome. I haven't had that feeling of "can't wait for my next workout" in like half a year!!!

Usually when I get this feeling, I hit PR's regularly. Hell yeah.
