10/16/12 Tuesday BW=161.8

squat 5x185, 2x225, 1x255, 5x255, 7x235, 7x235
bench 3x8x185
barbell lunge 6x135, 6x155, 6x165
pull up BW 3x12
calf raise 130# 3x12
p90x abs
walk 1.0 miles

Tried to do squats at like 3pm, warmed up and got pinned with 270 and 260. Said screw it and went to dinner, didn't get back until after 10pm tried again and hit 5x255 super easy. Maybe eating an apple, two metrx bars and a baked chicken breast was not enough fuel before 3 pm?

I was hiting them twice a week, 3x12 on strength days and 4x5 on power days.  Those numbers were delusive though, something in this machine allows you to go very heavy, no idea what.
Also , above 350 it would become a little unstable , start making kranking noises etc. Above 400 it felt like it could break any minute, i was sweating with anxiety. Then i switched to SL calve raises, which are also very comfortable there, because of the massive machine frame you get very good balance.
Thanks for the input.  :highfive:
I kinda figured it would get sketchy with that kind of weight on it.
Good thing I won't have to worry about that issue for years to come.
I already had to  modify the platform your foot stands on to get a full range of motion.

^They had that machine at the previous gym i was going. Tried squatting a couple of times from curiosity, they felt very weird.
I did my calve raises there regularly though. For some weird reason i could go ridiculously heavy there. I ended up doing 400lbs for reps, when i changed gym that had a 'standard' standing calve raises machine with a chain i had t cut down to 150-160lbs if i remember well.
Useless info of the day, cheers! :D

My calves are weak. (Probably because I have had limited access to any kind of calf machine.)
So I don't think I will be catching up to you with 400lb reps any time soon. Good to hear that it will handle that kind of weight tho.
What kind of rep/set range worked best for you to build up to that vag?

that is a fancy piece of equipment. nice pick up. man, if i could work out at home...

Thanks. It took months of lowballing on craigs-list to finally score this set-up. With three kids I would make zero progress If I couldn't work out at home.

finally got to the gym to play b-ball today. I am definitely out of basketball shape + I am pretty sore so that didn't help.

10/12/12 BW=162.2

squat 5x185, 2x225, 1x255, 1x265, 7x230, 7x230, 7x230
bench 3x8x185
calf raise 90# 4x15
pull up BW 3x12
GHR BW 3x6


Body feels good, still motivated to make progress. Picked up a Powertec leverage squat/calf machine to do calf raises as that has been sorely lacking since my return to garage weight work. seems like it will do the job.
I wonder how the squat function might work for assistance?
