Re: Gusto's Journal

Started my low-volume heavy workouts today. I'm going to be doing weight training 4 days a week typically Monday Tuesday Thursday Friday and start slowly up in the time and intensity of my cardio because I tend to get a bit soft when I switch to workouts like this.... Not burning nearly as many calories in the gym. Also for a couple weeks now I just realized I do need to up my conditioning a little bit for the sake of my health. Will stick with this for about a month. Each working set below is done to failure.

Chest/ bis


Rotator warm ups


Bench press

4 x warm ups

315 x 7 (fuck yeh)

325 x 5


Incline dumbbell press

1 x warm up

120s x 10 (too light)

130s x 7


Flat dumbbell fly

1 x warm up

80s x 8 + 3 x presses

80s x 7 + 3 presses


Standing alternating dumbbell curls

3 x warm ups

60s x 7

60s x 6


HS MTS bicep curl

1 x warm up

70 each arm x 6

60 each arm x 8 w/ 2 sec contraction on each


25 min cardio

Re: Gusto's Journal

Oh by the way... Squatting the 385 didn't get me laid by the hot chics. Who'd a thought did you say before I could go down to sets of three reps and get the best of both worlds? You seem to be slowly upping my numbers LOL

damn got busted haha
