where'd you go?

John Stamos · « **Reply #386 on:** December 10, 2012, 07:23:26 pm »

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

John Stamos · « **Reply #387 on:** December 10, 2012, 07:26:11 pm »

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

John Stamos · « **Reply #388 on:** December 10, 2012, 07:27:06 pm »

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

John Stamos · « **Reply #389 on:** December 10, 2012, 07:28:20 pm »

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
