Chest day went a bit different

bench- worked up to 335x1...It felt heavy in my hands because i havent gone heavy on chest in awhile but it was easy moving the weight, probably still around 365-380 max

Ball DB press- 70sx3x20- with a 25 pounder on my hips to work the core a bit

push ups on the squat rack
http://www.pro-fitness.com/pro_style_squat_rack.htm
mine is a shittier version of that

but the bars that  you can adjust that come outwards, i put 1 high and the other 1 low, regular push ups on both side and switch to feet on the bar for a decline push up and then spiderman push ups in the middle
- 3 sets to failure

I havent done anything in the 50 rep range lately so I did

Machine flyes- 70lbsx2x50

some arm work

pool area- jump rope/sit up superset- 3 sets
                  (50 count)    (25 count)

Plate walks down and back maybe 25 yards

arch trainer for 10 minutes

too many fucking people on the treadmills so we are going to hit the treadmills today as soon as we get to the gym

Back/bi day

1.5 mile run- 12:02
-I felt my protein shake coming up at 1.3 miles so i almost ruined the treadmill and I had to lay down on it afterwards, but not bad for a 272 pounder!! haha

the last time i did a 1.5 mile run in under 12:30 I did it in 12:28 at 255 pounds and I felt way worse then

Deadlifts- pointless, worked up to a hard 405, I was shot from the running
bent over rows- 135x3x10

Lat pulldown-130lbs
DB row- 70lbs
       - did these as a super set for 3 sets

pull ups at an angle with feet on the ground- 3x10

Pool room-
did a 25 yard twisting plate walk super set with jump rope

DB crunches- worked up to 80sx10

arm work just heavy bb curls and machine curls

thats all she wrote and I am exhausted as fuck


Anybody know where to get good semi cheap olympic lifting style shoes, I found a few for 100 and people said they were good but the heels were a big too soft but good for if your just doing crossfit(which im not) but i dont plan on being a pro oly lifter

Eastbay has a 15% off deal going on so i just went with the shoes on there, fairly cheap, with the discount came to 87 dollars, they arent "olympic" shoes but more for the crossfit people, idk the heel is .6" so idk probably high enough, plus idk how much longer my jordans will last, they are getting pretty beat up.

Today was shoulders, nothing special to report really except i tried handstand pushups and I got 2 haha they are hard but instead of going straight down ontop of your head I was going down with my chest towards the floor so idk if that made it harder or not.

But yeah tomorrow is legs and I plan on warming up with heavy cleans

Thank god I had my funderwear on today!!

Legs

squats(ATG) worked up to 315x3- not quite used to it and idk why i can squat low now idk just happened
box squat- 405x1
                  455x1
                  500x1

Cleans- worked up to 225x1
      - going to start doing 3 sets of 205 for as many as i can

CIRCUIT TIME
these were done in a row no rest for 5 mins straight..well not supposed to be rest but i did

used 35lb DBS

thrustersx5
DB burpees(w/o jump at the end)x5
db snatch
db cleans

I beleive i did another thing, id have to look at my paper

I got 2.5 rounds at the 5 minute mark but 5 minutes went by really fast

BB lunges- used 95x3x5 each leg- legs were done by this time anyway

Circuit 2- I had 2 people working out with me so we did each 1 then moved onto the next- all of them done with 95lbs and 21 reps for 2 sets

High pulls
deadlift
OH medball squats
Inverted pull ups i think ud call them
deadlift
same kind of pullups

afterwards i practiced some OH squats and im going to buy a broom tomorrow to practice and stretch out with because thats my main issue

It feels like i did a lot more than this but i guess thats it

How I felt about the workout 1-10,  I liked it a lot, and will probably do this more often, once a week or so

weighed in at 274- but legs are leaner and gut is trimming down

reviews on my shoes

not the most comfortable shoes but they have to be a hard sole and I have wide feet and these are meant for narrow feet but ill man up.
It felt like it was easier to OH squat and do thrusters in these.

Overall pretty good so far, ill know more tomorrow but today is shoulders and i have no clue what I have written down for it

be careful with those routines, man. circuit training is fine and pushing yourself is fine but some of that shit is like tailor-made to fuck up your shoulders and wrists.
