ProDJ26's Workout Log

[Quagmire911]

Back to the regular stuff but I think I have a wrist injury. Here's Today's stats:

Squat - 265lbs 3x5

Bench - 220lbs Did the 1st two sets of 5 (Last set was only 4 reps)

Deadlfits - 325lbs 3x5

Weighted Dips - 80lbs 2x8

First time I did ATG with this weight on the squats and the last set was a ***** but I got it up. The bench is where I got a little wrist pain but I've had it for a little over a couple of days. Deadlift feels like I have the form down and ask a couple of experineced lifters they said everything is ok. Dips were surprisingly easy so I'm gonna add 5lbs next weelk.

Log more! And lets see a 300+ bench soon.

update for you guys

Monday: MAX Squat

Ended up getting 315lbs for 3 rep max but stalled out at 325 for 1 PR. Don't know why but feel like I lost some strength here.

Wenesday: MAX Bench

Horrible, Horrible day. Wasn't feeling it and only put up 245lbs for 3 rep max
Attempted 275lbs but it wasn't happening. So we'll see how the Deads go on friday.

Starting the squats & milk program next week. so it should be interesting...

You'll get there, dude. I know how you feel; I had planned to flat bench at 260 pounds this week but I just didn't have the energy to go for it this time. It depends on how our mind and body feels about it, there are days when I feel like I can lift a tank but there have been times in which I was glad just to have been able to complete a workout.

 

[ProDJ26]

Didn't do MAX Deads figured Im at the same. Was suppose to workout today but didn't because of a paper I had to write. I did start the eating part of the program. Didn't eat like I was suppose to either but managed to sqeeze in

2 scoops whey
7 cups milk
2 BIG A** HAMBURGERS lol
1 cup oatmeal
and a microwave dinner

I was running around most of the day and barely had time to eat. I know I didn't eat a damn thing. So seriously TOMORROW WILL START 20 REP SQUATS you guys have my word

 

[ProDJ26]

MAN FVCK THIS 20 REP SH*T!!! LOL

But on a more serious note I've never that kind of pain in a LOOONG time.
Woke up today around 5 and went back to sleep and was up since 7am.

Todays food so far:

6 scoops whey
6 eggs
6 cups milk
bowl of oatmeal
2 bananas

Workout:

Squat 1x20 185lbs
Pull Overs 1x20 w/ bar
Circuit of 3 rounds in the following order
Pullups, Dips, Decline Abs

about to have some haburger now with 2 more cups milk and brown rice (big smile)

before I go to sleep gonna have one more shake and tuna. I realize I have waay too many shakes and must replace with red meat asap. But that should be taken care of by monday. (Financial aid is a beautiful thing)

As for the workout I started with 185lbs. Seemed really really light for the first 8 reps. As I started taking more breaths I started thinking about it to much and the result made the weight really heavy. All of sudden I felt like I was squating above 240. Continued painful reps 9-15. Rep 16 I don't know what happen but luckily I had a spotter because my enitre body felt like it went into shock. I barely managed to get the last rep.

Then I did the pull-overs (just the bar) those to were painful and as the original program described I was out of breath. Then I did the circuit of
pull-ups, dips and abs. Managed to get 12 on the first to rounds of dips and pulls. Then I got about 5 for the last round of pull-ups. Dips I reached 10.
Abs were difficult the first round through (I had to take a dump) so I only did 12 and literally ran to the bathroom. Felt like hell. Didn't wanna contiune but I went back out and finished up abs (the final two round of abs I hit 20)
Then I got another spotter and banged out the rest of the reps I missed for squat. (Got very heavy again on the last rep.

Let me say from my first time finishing the 20 rep squats that you feel pain like no other. After theat last rep I fell to the ground (legs felt like jelly)
Then the fun part: I got 3 cramps in succession in the locker room. And almost got another one during class. Debating whether or not to hit it again Friday or wait till Saturday. Definately gonna need some motivation (Stallion lol) to get through this program. But I figure its only for 5 weeks so.

Other than that the milk really hasn't been that bad but I can still hear that voice in my head saying that todays workout was only the beginning...

 

[EFFORT]

lower the weight to 165 next workout and then progress 5lbs a workout from there. And your also going to have to step up the eating or your not going to make it through the 5weeks.

 

[ProDJ26]

ahh 20 rep squats.....

lowered the weight to 165 like you suggested EFFORT. Hears the workout:

Squats
Warmup - bar 10 reps
95 lbs - 3 reps
135 - 1 rep

Workset 165lbs 1 set 20 reps (Easy)

Pullovers
bar 1 set for 20 reps - these started to hurt after the 8th rep

3 round circuit of pullups, dips and abs

Round 3:

Abs are done declined probably should of mentioned that earlier.
Todays food:

8 scoops whey
half gallon milk ( 8 cups)
half gallon water
2 bananas
5 pieces of pizza (cheated)
microwave meal (cheated)
tuna
pasta
3 cups oatmeal

eating will be taken care of by tommorrow because i get paid so I'll be adding

Flax oil (3 tablespoons)
Creatine
Full Gallon H2O
an orange
another banana or apple
3 cups mixed veggies
Beef!!! (about 4 or 5 a day)
Chicken Breast (most likely 2 a day)

And I don't even think its neccessary but I might use casein for before bed shake. On paper its gonna be hard getting the food down but its doable. I made a list and every time I eat I cross it off the list. By the time I go to sleep evrything on the list should be in my stomach. Starred at a full gallon of milk today for about 10 mins lol. I think I can get it down (already got a half gallon the past 3 days) so Im gonna try for it Tuesday. After the workout today I was pretty dizzy and lightheaded which lasted for a couple mins and didnt poo as much today....

[I-tallionStallion]

Enjoy it while it's easy. It won't be in two weeks. Keep it at the rate your going.

Why are you only getting 20 reps on the abs? Surely you can do more!

make sure you are taking DEEP breaths during pullover. Really stretch that ribcage.

Make sure you also know what weight you are now, so you can compare it when it's over. I went up about 15 lbs when I was done!

[ProDJ26]

This was supposed to be logged for yesterday.

Squats
Warmup - bar 10 reps
95 lbs - 3 reps
135 - 1 rep

Workset 180lbs 1 set 20 reps
Pullovers
bar 1 set for 20 reps - took even deeper breaths especially for the last 5

3 round circuit of pullups, dips and abs

Round 1
Pullups: 15 stalling (not trying hard enough)
Dips: 21
Abs: 22

Round 2
Pullups: 12
Dips: 18
Abs: 22

Round 3:
Pullups: 9
Dips: 20
Abs: 25

So my back got a little stiff this time around for squats. The pull overs are starting to get easier. Seems I'm good at dips but I gotta get my pull-ups higher. Ended up staying over 2 hrs but I only worked out for 45mins. Stayed and chatted with a couple of friends while drinking my post-shake. The gym ended being packed with the average ratio being 4 girls to every 1 guy.

Couple of guys ego's started to go guess because of the ladies lol. People started to Bench, Curl etc. This other guy starting doing Barbell rows with 225lbs while somebody else attempted Deadlifts. (Helped them with form)
I wanted to show off sooooo badly lol. really wanted to hit my squat Max especially with all the women there. Luckily I kept my ego in check because I knew if I tried after the 20set workout I probably would of died under the bar. So I ended up doing another set pullups for 15 reps.

As for the food....

Fvcked yesterdays diet up (missed meal 6) by the time i got home ended up going to sleep and instead of meal 5 I had pasta with steak :smile:

Cheated today with 3 double cheese burgers because I ran out of beef lol
Dennys had this special today for a free meal but I missed out.

Meal 1-
2 scoops whey

Meal 2-
3 cheeseburgers
5 cups milk (surprisingly I was ok after this. No bloating, etc.)

Meal 3-
2 scoops whey
2 cups mixed veggies

Meal 4-
2 bananas
2 cups oatmeal
2 scoops whey
2 cups milk

Meal 5
2 bananas
2 scoops whey
2 cups milk

meal 6
tuna
2 scoops whey

Kinda got discouraged today but thanks to my wing (who gives one hell of a motivational talk) i'm back on track. I'm very surprised of how i'm able to handle all of the milk. (half a gallon daily) Most likely I'll shoot for a gallon sometime this week. Figure since I wake up early drink 1-2 cups every couple of hours.

And I've been chatting up nearly every girl that walks past me regardless of them being ugly or not. So I have ALOT of testosterone lately maybe from all of the beef and such. guess I rambled too much lol until next time

 

[ProDJ26]

forgot to log this for yesterday:

Squats
Warmup - bar 10 reps
95 lbs - 3 reps
135 - 1 rep

Workset 185lbs 1 set 20 reps (needed a spot for the last 3 reps my body didnt go into shock like it did the very first day of this program)

food was and is the same. I ended up drinking 12 cups of milk. And despite what you guys are thinking it's really not that bad. Either that or I can handle lactose REALLY WELL. This was supposed to be logged for Wesnesday.

 

[I-tallionStallion]

yes you can handle it. Everyones different. Me...I don't even want to talk about my adventures in the john.

What do you mean you need a spot? You use safety bars I hope. No one better touch that bar or it doesn't count! :nono:

 

[yungahdubz]

Good job on the dips and squats.

Did you say you used to be a former powerlifter?

 

[ProDJ26]

yungahdubz: yea right I wish

Stallion: spot means somebody behind me making sure I complete all 20 reps. Although noone touches the bar while Im squatting I make sure they help me rake the weight when Im finished.

kinda losing motivation but refuse to quit cause it'll be over by the end of this month. I haven't weighed myself but I feel like I havent gained any at all...

we'll see...

 

[I-tallionStallion]

Great Job! You better be going deep on the squats

Don't get discouraged its early...

What weight are you doing the pullovers with? You shouldn't be adding weight. Do 30lbs with a bar or dumbell. I like the dumbell better
