I am starting a new pl routine. I hate change so I already don't like it, but I'm gonna stick with it for a few months. I'm a little bored anyhow at the gym. It combines pl work with bb'ing work...we'll see. I gotta train my front squat. Its not a lift I'm comfortable with but I will practice. I am also going to start working in the 1rm range every week and 1/2 I think....i gotta check the schedule. Today I'm going to practice the clean and press. I haven't done these in probably 9 months. should be fun

Re: Hy-Maints 2014 Log

9/7

been working hard. Deadlift is now at 265 for my working sets. I'm knocking on 315....i got that mf by the end of 2014!! My news years resolution for 2014...a little late- lol. Also hit 125 on my bench. This is my worst lift, but I'm making progress. This week i AM going in and throwing a 45 on each side and i WILL lift it other than diet is good, lifting is good. PPl are commenting more and more, even when I wear regular clothes. I can't see it, but it must be noticable.

Good luck on the bench I know u can do it

Re: Hy-Maints 2014 Log

I been busy.

I've just come off a good cut. I followed a meal plan that a friend on here gave me a few months back and it rocked. It was bland and hard to do day in and day out, but the payoff was well worth it. Lotsa comments on my size. It's so funny how stripping fat and weight makes you big as hell I still refuse to compete though. I see my friends at the gym grind and grind and kill themselves on the diet and then they fail to even place. I give em props- I couldn't do it.

A couple ppl have been on me for a while now to start using german volumn training....."it's what Dorian Yates used" is what they keep saying, so I recently started it- like yesterday recently- lol. But I thought it would be interesting to blog it in my journal again. My goal is to build the size that DanaLinn Bailey has going on. Diet is the cutting diet I did except I have added another meal, bumped portion sizes and will add a whole free day. Gear? Of course. 25mg var daily and 200mg npp week. I have other goodies in my war chest if I need it, but its early in my run so I want to see how it goes over the next few weeks.

So, yesterday was just trying to get some base weights since I don't really know what my 1 rm's are. I am working with a partner. I'm doing 10x10 w 30 sec rests between sets and 65% of what we think my 1 rm is. We grossly underestimated. My tiny frame seems to hide just how much weight I can actually move *grin*

back
low row: 120x10 1 set, 110x10 9 sets (bump to 120 next time)
wide grip pull down: 65x10 1 set, 75x10 9 sets (bump to 85 next time)
hammer strength machine: 40x10 1 set, 30x10 9 sets (bump back to 40 next time)
wide grip pull ups w/ band: 10x10 painful sets
decline w/ dumb bell isolating the lats: 30x10 10 sets (up to 35 next time)

chest
flat bench: 85x10 10 sets (up to 95 next time)
decline machine: 40x10 10 sets (up to 50 next time)
pec dek: 70x10 10 sets (up to 80 next time)

I wasn't really working hard for any of these except those lat isolating pull overs...wow...my lats and abs hurt today! All weight goes up next time until I am working to get through sets 7-10.

Tomorrow is going to be legs, but honestly I am not sure he can beat the leg routine I already do. This is a guns01 routine btw and it is a killer. My legs have never ever looked better. Currently I do seated press at 270 for 40 reps, 4 sets then rdl's, lunges, 1 leg hammies. I also squat and dl on another day for legs. I don't think I will change that...but I will wait to see what my padner says

Saturday will probably be shoulders and then Sunday will be arms.

oh....its good to be back
