Yesterday I didnt workout, i worked from 7-6 and was only planning on 7-12 so i didnt bring anything to eat.  Towards the end of my shift i felt sick and exhausted so i basically got home and passed out until 11am today.  Havent eaten much today either so i decided to take it easy

Squats- still getting used to doing it without a box and doing them in general again

 135x10
 225x5
315x1
335x1
355x1
375x1
- felt like 80% or so but i figured i wouldnt push it

dropped to 225 and did some speed work

DB lunges- 50x5 each leg
                  60x5
                  70x5

Heavy leg curls, forgot what weight the machine goes up to


arms

tricep work was just pushdowns and incline skull crushers

biceps was ez bar curl superset with 1 arm db preacher curls


this weekend will be for a diet idk special k cereal, 1.5lbs of chicken each day with a sub from subway, ill figure out how many calories it is then decide if i need to increase since i wanna get back up 4lbs to get ready to max out on monday.

Regardless of what i get itll be the end of me trying to go for 4 plates next monday

I have to change my mindset and cut weight

to start off Ill prolly just do a 40/30/30 diet with 5 meals a day, my BMR says i need around 21-2200 so itll be around 2200 calories a day but when i plateau on that ill get into carb cycling and my diet plan i had shelby starnes make for me

Back day

warm up

rack pull- 315x10
               405x10

fat man pull ups- 2x10


1 arm BB row- 55lbsx3x10

single handle lat pulldowns super set with seated rows 3 sets

straight bar lat pulldowns 3 sets


i think i did more than this but i cant remember, this gym doesnt really have shit to do for your back and the lat pulldown sucks dick and you cant do straight arm lat pulldowns or anything on it.

tomorrow is shoulders, thurs legs and fri is arms, and on friday going to remember to do board presses to get my triceps back strong since on monday im going to try for 405 on the bench

end of september

I decided to lower the weight because im in a calorie deficit right now and wasn't feeling as strong
 
 
 
working set 1(4 sets to this giant set and no breaks inbetween each exercise)
 
                                      Bench press- 325x6
                                  Floor push upsx20
Smith machine pushups on 1st notchx20
                                          2nd notchx20
                                          3rd notchx20
BW tri extension on smith machine 4th notchx20
tricep push upx10
                                        -For the bench press I went 325x6-275x4-225x10-135x20
 
Giant set 2(your muscles will be cooked already so dont expect a lot of weight to be used)
DB Incline press- 40x15
                            50x10
                            60x6
                            70x3
Hex press- 45x15
DB fly-30x15
 
 
Giant set 3
( dont remember the weight but all high reps)
Tricep rope pushdowns
single arm extensions
cable kickbacks
overhead rope extensions
 


thats basically the format i used, i lost weight and kept my strength through it but it burned me out within like 3 weeks i think

For a long time I havent been feeling the burn in my shoulders even though ive been going diesel on them, so i sat back and evaluated the situation and experiemented until i decided to do this
 
 
the sets that fix the problem
 
DB press- 15lbs(I shit you not)x100 reps
DB side raises- 15lbsx50 reps
 
Also not full range of motion, keep it on the bottom half to focus on the shoulders
 
giant set 1
 
Db press- 40x20
db front raise- 30x15
db side raise- 20x20
 
trapz- shrugs, bb, db, machine whatever you want, however you feel it works for you
 
Smith machine work
- upright rows- 100lbsx15
  Kneeling front shoulder pressx10
  kneeling rear shoulder pressx10
 
some rear delt work and they were pumped....super pumped
 
 
After the shoulder workout which was at 9:30pm I weighed in at 260.5 with shoes on so back in the 250s without them.
 
Starting weight- 250 then increased to 271- back to 260.5
                     - 10.5lbs
 
 
Whatever you do, 4 sets of each giant set sucks but dont bitch out and skip out on 1 or 2 of them...your body has a lot more potential than what people think.  Just dont be a pussy

still late september

back and bis
 
same format
Giant set 1
BW deadlift( deadlift a weight that is equal to your bodyweight)x as many as you can
bent over BB rows
pull ups(palms facing away from you)
barbell pullups
 
giant set 2
 
BB curl(go for a heavy 10-15 reps)
bent over BB curl(kinda like your rowing but the weight should be thigh level and so you can curl the weight up to your chest)
BB BW curl
 
super set 3
Lat pulldown(pause at the bottom for a 1 count and go slow throughout the movement)
low cable row(same idea)
 
finish with some rope curls
 
At this time if you dont feel exhausted and sore then you didnt do the workout right

this is what i was doing at my old gym back towards the end of september

Chest/tris (this has to be done on a smith machine, or if you have a squat rack that allowes you to do this then get a partner to spot you)
working set 1(4 sets to this giant set and no breaks inbetween each exercise)
 
                                      Bench press- 380x1
                                  Floor push upsx20
Smith machine pushups on 1st notchx20
                                          2nd notchx20
                                          3rd notchx20
BW tri extension on smith machine 4th notchx20
tricep push upx10
                                        -For the bench press I went 380-315-225-135
 
Giant set 2(your muscles will be cooked already so dont expect a lot of weight to be used)
DB Incline press- 45x15
Hex press- 45x15
DB fly-30x15
low db fly-20x15
 
Giant set 3
( dont remember the weight but all high reps)
Tricep rope pushdowns
single arm extensions
cable kickbacks
overhead rope extensions
 
End it with a close grip hammer press or machine press
 
This is a perfect workout where you should leave your ego at the door because 135 on my last bench set felt like 315
 
so to recap- when you do the sets do the exercises one right after the other, the only break you get is taking weights off or putting weights on

I've been working a lot since i moved up to being a BPO and i wrote down a few workouts i did on fb that ill post on here after this

Todays chest workout-

Bench
warm up- 225x3x10
                315x5x5
              -  I probably could have done 1 more set of 5 full ones without help if i had enough rest but my wrists were pretty fucked by this point

DB flys - 30x10
              40x10
              50x10
              70x10

some machine work and light shrugs

doesnt seem like much but doing 2 extra sets of 315 and im more worn out than doing 3 sets and doing dumbbell presses

i started to throw in a half hour cardio each morning while im still fasted a wee bit

weight- 268

Shoulders/trapz

SM SHoulder press(this smith machine doesnt have a cable that makes the bar by itself feel weightless so as far as ik its the actual weight)

barx20
135x10
185x6x4(rest pause)
               - front delt acted up again so that was enough pressing so i didnt make it worse

just repeat that and i did 5-8 reps each set with 20lbs dbs and finished each set with side delt raises

rear delt raises

shrugs-worked up to 405x10(easy)
shrug machine- 8 plates each side i believex10

30 mins on stairmaster
