Tom (Rendition) Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Nice gains, keep it up. Do you normally have a spotter for your squats? lol :s
Smush Posted December 2, 2011 Author Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks Tom! And no lol. I'm usually by myself when I squat .. so I don't think I can max out until my friends want to squat. Shoulders & Biceps DB Shoulder Press 50 x 10 PR 50 x 8 50 x 6 60 x 1/2 FAIL DB Shrugs (Highest DBs in gym) 90 x 10 90 x 8 90 x 6 DB Front Raise 20 x 5 20 x 4 10 x 10 DB Side Raise (Ahh I wish my gym had 15s) 10 x 10 10 x 10 10 x 10 DB Rear Raise 10 x 10 10 x 10 10 x 10 DB Curls 30 x 10 25 x 10 30 x 8 25 x 6 20 x 5 DB Hammer Curl (No rest) 30 x 8 25 x 6 25 x 5 20 x 7 For some reason DB curls are my weakest exercise, I can preacher curl 85-90 lbs ... but can only do 30 lbs each hand? Hmmmm.
Tris Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 You have support from the bench padding while doing preacher curls compared to curls where your arm is free, its expected. :p
Smush Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 Tore some ligaments in my ankle. Bad crack. It's still swollen, bruised, and I'm wearing a supporter. I hate limping. Bye bye deadlifts and squats for a few weeks .. Curl bro for the rest of the year.. Chest & Tris DB Bench Press 65 x 10 70 x 8 PR 75 x 6 PR +10 lbs, 6 reps. SUWOOOP.

Tris Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Don't worry I feel you on the curls man, keep up the good work.
Smush Posted December 9, 2011 Author Posted December 9, 2011 Thanks for the support and nice avatar btw :icon6nv:
Adam|Spakka Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Jesus christ those legs on Tris's avvy :O:O & yea i used to hate curls too, biceps were always shitty, all i can recommend is just completely forget about the weight you're lifting, just get the full stretch & contraction of the bicep, thats what i've started doing since all the dumbells in my gym are in pounds not kilos, i don't pay much attention to the weight anymore (obviously not going light, just a weight to challenge you)
Smush Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 Was an off day, hadn't eaten all day and went to gym at night because I was dragged there lol. Chest Bench Press 135 x 10 135 x 10 155 x 5 165 x 5 175 x 5 DB Incline Press 50 x 10 55 x 10 60 x 10 65 x 5 Skullcrushers 65 x 10 65 x 8 Preacher Curl 65 x 10 65 x 8 65 x 5 Seated Calf Raise 90 x 10 135 x 10 (Stopped because of too much pressure/pain) Squats (Tried to see how my ankle was doing) Didn't want to go heavy 135 x 10 135 x 10 185 x 5 205 x 5
Reevesy Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 if u tore something in ur ankle i highly doubt u would be squatting at all lol
Smush Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 I made it sound worse than it was lol. An ankle sprain's definition is the tearing of the fibers ... It still hurts and it's still red that's why I didn't go heavier. It was classified as grade 2 out of 3 grades.

Smush Posted December 14, 2011 Author Posted December 14, 2011 Shoulders DB Press 40 x 10 50 x 10 50 x 5 DB Shrugs 90 x 10 90 x 5 90 x 5 Then I noticed my face was really itchy, looked closer in the mirror and sure enough I was covered in red rashes all over, from then neck to the face. I thought it would go away so I kept exercising. DB Side Raise 20 x 10 20 x 5 20 x 5 DB Front Raise 20 x 5 20 x 5 20 x 5 I stopped, face was too itchy, ran back home to take a closer look. Apparently it was heat induced? Someone must have cranked up the heat in the gym cause it was super hot in there. The red marks went away, but it was the weirdest feeling. It pretty much ruined my workout.
Steroids Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 y do u always do 50% less reps on the 2nd/3rd sets of an exercise? not having enough of a rest period or something?
Smush Posted December 15, 2011 Author Posted December 15, 2011 I usually don't do 50% less reps, it was just a bad day and I couldn't concentrate. I usually do 10-8-6-4 or something along those lines. And sometimes I switch up my rest periods from no rest, 30 second rest, to 2 minute rest. Idk just trying new things
Steroids Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 not sure y you'd even go from 10-4 reps with 2 sets in between unless ur having 30 secs rests when deadlifting or something lol. also ur bulking, dont do 30 sec rest periods. do drop/super sets if u rly have to mix shit up.
Smush Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 Chest (Front Delts still tired from yesterday, going to put in at least 1-2 days rest) DB Bench Press 60 x 10 65 x 8 70 x 6 75 x 4 I was dying doing the last reps of those exercises. DB Incline Press 60 x 5 65 x 3 Chest Fly 35 x 10 37.5 x 8 40 x 8 Will do bis and tris on Saturday maybe ..
Smush Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 Finals Week, until break so I'm trying to fit in as many exercises. Oh I maxed out on bench yesterday, got 210 x 1 without a warmup for a new PR lol. Shoulders & Deadlift DB Shoulder Press 45 x 10 45 x 10 50 x 10 50 x 8 DB Shrugs 80 x 10 80 x 10 DB Front Raise 15 x 10 15 x 10 17.5 x 10 DB Side Raise 15 x 5 15 x 5 20 x 5 17.5 x 5 Deadlifts (First time in a month) 135 x 10 225 x 5 255 x 5 275 x 5 315 x 1 330 x 1 winning Back feels great. Will probably do bis&tris tomorrow.
Reevesy Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 bet that 210 felt like a nigger. warmups r more getting a feel for the weights for myself. thats y you should do really low rep warmups like sets of 1-3 as the weight is on the up
Smush Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 Actually going to a proper, massive gym for now .. Shoulders DB Shoulder Press 45 x 10 45 x 10 45 x 10 50 x 7 DB Shrugs 80 x 10 90 x 10 100 x 5 PR lol callouses ripped all over da place DB Front Raise 20 x 10 PR 20 x 10 20 x 10 DB Side Raise 15 x 10 15 x 10 15 x 10 Preacher Curl 55 x 10 55 x 10 65 x 8 65 x 5 65 x 3 Rear Delt Machine 75 x 10 90 x 8 105 x 6 125 x 4 PR I'm guessin?

Smush Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 I probably would spot him, just not catch the bar when it falls ... :trollbob:
