Nice

I got mine on Craigslist cheap. (Basically Online garage sale classifieds). I never buy brand new weight equipment, the world is overflowing already with unused, dusty barbells and squat racks.

Im confused by this notation. I like the Max-stim pull-ups, good idea

HST 3x10 Trapbar Dead: 260 Chin-up: 200-60x10,10,8(failed 9th rep) Dip: 200+10 Press: 90x10,10,8 failed Shoulder Rotator and calf assistance. It’s been years since I’ve done 3 work sets of 10...(super setting when possible) lungs burning, strength endurance tested. Wow

I agree. I’m determined to work hard on my chin-ups and dips, get to chaining weights to my body and all that.

The hammer strength pull down machine is the best ever for the latissimus dorsi, however it isolated the lats too much, as my biceps were indisputably the weak link during chin-ups today. Evening home training. Strict barbell curls: 69x15,15,15

Yeah, add weight until you stall and are hitting failure. Then stay at those loads for another 2 weeks or so to finish the cycle.

Brutal

HST Now that I’ve got a decent base of strength and I’m out of newbie mode, I’m going to switch to more primal,hardcore, “real-world” lifts. Trapbar Dead: 250x15,15 lungs felt this! Chin-up: -70x15,15. Wow, these are way harder than the machine. Felt like my biceps and forearm muscles were...

A right that amounts to practically nothing in the grand scheme of corrupt politics. Choice crap a or choice crap b is not really a choice.

He’s insane, but then again a large portion of us American voters are uneducated idiots, so I’m never surprised when a crazy, cutthroat businessman and career politician with years of corruption are the only choices on the ballot. I didn’t even vote, it was too depressing.

I do. Good ideas. I am working hard on my deltoids and pectorals, (and lats a close second) as I think my shoulders and chest are too small compared to my arms and thighs. I will likely start doing some overhead pressing and weighted pushups at home during the week.

Agreed. I mostly rely on overhead pressing and benching. But My favorite triceps focus is pullovers where my hands are behind my head. Nice stretch and triceps strain without the tendon pain of push downs and nose breakers.

Very slow progress, but considering my average frequency in this log has only been about once per week! Way lower than I wish it was. If I was doing three times per week, theoretically I could have made double the progress in the same amount of time. Lately I have only been lifting on the...

Less frequency, lighter loading, higher reps to create more lactic acid and lower loading to reduce extreme tension on the tendons.... you know, all the stuff Powerlifters hate to do. Haha I never do loads above my 6 RM mainly because I want to avoid injury. (And also avoid triceps l exercises...

15s, 1 work set each Smith split squats: 115x (all exercises 15 reps) Incline DB Bench: 60x DB Rows: 60x Hammer Bench: 180x Hammer Pulldowns: 170x Standing Press: 85x Rear Cable laterals: 12.5x Uni Calf Raises: 80x

I basically hit failure on every set, then sometimes I’m doing a few negatives, then only resting for a short period, then go right again... the goal is to maximize tetanus of the muscle.

I do one legged standing calf raise machine, normal speed up, slow negative down. I do about 10-12 reps, then some myoreps. I rest only about 10 seconds between sets. Calves finally growing.

Knees are locked down by a brace
