Stallion's Fitness Journal

[I-tallionStallion]

Yeah i know that back pain on the leg press Johnny. I too assumed deeper was best with these. But you type it in youtube and you get a lot of these sissy leg presses at high weights.

The one at planet fitness was easier at the one at the gym I am at now. It's a lot more angled. I go as deep as I can on the leg press, to the point i hit the boundary pegs which are there so you don't squash yourself.

The guy was going down like maybe a foot, it was pathetic Johnny haha.

I guess ill keep doing it the way I was doing it, thanks Quag. It's certainly deep but not awkward.

Friday

This is by far my favorite day:

Decline Bench 15rp - 14+6+5= 25 reps w/160lbs PR --- I just got so much stronger now I'm back in the flow. Quite surprising

ES for 1 minute for chest - 40lbs - extreme!!

Standing Military Press 20rp - 14+10+7= 31 reps w/85lbs PR - I thought I was going to have a problem but I totally underestimated myself. Probably could do 95 lbs for 20rps

ES for 1 minute for shoulders - very tough

CGBP 20rp - 20 reps...was WAY too light at 115lbs so I added 10 pounds --- 7+6= 11 reps w/125lbs --total 31 reps --I can't believe the difference then last time! PR

ES for 1 minute for triceps - 30lbs - i hate this

Wide Grip Assited Pullups 15rp - 9+7+5=21 reps w/120 lbs PR - Did much better...so worn out by this point though

ES for 1 minute for back - tough

BB Row 1x6 - 185 lbs -- 1x12 - 145 lbs PR-- This was a joke...next time I know to go much heavier for both sets. I really underestimated myself all day

I'm guessing my body just wasn't in it the first week because I wasn't doing all this my first week back from super squats. I am really happy to say the calve pains are completely gone and other than a slight wrist pain I am doing great physically. I feel good and I'm very happy. I feel many more PR's are going to come

 

[frenchbeauty]

[Warboss Alex]

you using straps on the back stretch? the point is to hold it for time. 1-3 minutes.

Monday-

Squats 1x1 - 340 lbs PR ---felt good. I think soon I'll be up to speed with lifting heavy again. I reckon I could probably throw up 350 or 360 for a rep.

Squats 1x12 - 205 lbs - not too tough. Will up next time

ES for 1 minute for quads - extremely painful

Preacher curls 20rp - 13+20+4= 24reps w/40lbs (not including bar weight) PR

Hammer Curls 1x15 - 25lbs --these were tough - easier this time, will move possibly to 30lbs next time.

ES for 1 minute for bicepts - worst stretch ever. I hate it

Pullthrough 3x10 - 120 lbs - Still a bit light...will up next time PR

ES for 1 minute for hams - I really hate this stretch

Seated Calve raise - 1x12 12s negs - 82.5lbs PR bbbbrutal

Pretty good day...oh btw I am entering a really amatuer powerlifting competition thats for fun at some church on October 18th. It will have squat, bench, deadlift - not in that order tho. ONe of the older guys said you lift in your weight class and guys will be lifting what I already lift if not a little lower or higher. So I have a pretty good shot at throwing up some good numbers. There is a trophy and I'll be sure to get my lifts on video for you guys to see if I actually do get to go god-willing. I'm very excited

 

[Fuglydude]

Congrats on the squat! Are you still bulking? How's the bodyweight and body composition?

 

[I-tallionStallion]

Congrats on the squat! Are you still bulking? How's the bodyweight and body composition?

Thanks Fugly

No, it's not really called bulking. It's more of getting bigger while shedding bodyfat. Last time I weighed myself I actually hit 225 lbs which was 2 1/2 pounds lighter than the end of my super squats.

In terms of body composition, I won't lie, I'm a slightly big dude and I have a 40 inch waist at 5'9ish. My chest is around 44-45 inches and is a whole lot better looking than in April. Also I have 17.2 inch arms and they look decent. Body fat percentage wise I'm not sure, I do have quite the gut though Hopefully by the summer it will be gone.

-been awhile since I went over 400lbs. I forgot how brutal it was lol. I was very tired by the time I reached it so I don't think this number is bad. I could have went up a little but I decided it was risky.

Decent day...I'm sore as usual. DC does that to you. I'm always hurting somewhere.

 

[frenchbeauty]

[Quagmire911]

Are you blowing up on this?

Keep up the good work. What you reckon your dead max is at? I want videos!

 

[I-tallionStallion]

Well Quag...so far so good. I'm still working on fat loss but in terms of muscle compared to 6 months ago...I'm a LOT bigger.

Since DC I immediately grew stretch marks on under my armpits and on my thighs. I have been told that I was "jacked" by people who haven't seen me in months. One of my old friends thought I was cycling steriods much to my opposition. Jacked has a different meaning to me though, and I'm not even close to that definition.

Hmmm...you'll just have to wait til saturday when I try to win a trophy at this 'really amatuer' strongman competition

 

[EFFORT]

I'm going to be pissed if you hurt yourself during that comp

 

[I-tallionStallion]

No worries EFFORT, I didn't do the competition. I got there and my brother pulled something doing bench and wanted to go home. He's okay now. Really sucks but I'm way more concerned about my brother and I'm not going to make him lift or make him sit all day watching me lift lol. There will be another one a couple months from now so bah..until then
