MM's journal
Well i thought id start a journal so here we go.
I'm gonna try this split out for a while and see how it goes and how long i last. I was doing DC prior to this but i have no training partner right now and with DC i think its alot better to have one considering your going to failure 3 times per set. Id rather not use machine the whole time so i thought this would work pretty well. Day 1- Chest/Biceps Day 2- Quads/Hams Day 3- Shoulder/Tri Day 4- Back Its still gonna be low volume 3 sets per bodypart. One set is gonna be a heavy set 4-6, followed by a RP set and then a widowmaker type set. Ive been liking it so far. I'm using a 2 exercise rotation. Chest/Bi A- BB Incline (SS) HS Incline (RP) Pec Dec Push Presses (WM) Standing Barbell Curl (SS) E-Z Bar Preacher Curl (RP) HS Seated Curl (WM) BB Flat Bench (SS) DB Flat (RP) DB Flat Fly's (WM) Standing Alt Dumbell Curls (SS) One Arm Preacher Curls (RP) Rope Cable Curls (WM) Legs A- BB Back Squat (SS) Leg Press (RP) Leg Extension (WM) HS Leg Curl (SS) Seated Leg Curl (RP) Adductor (WM) Smith Front Squats (SS) HS Unilateral Leg Press (RP) HS Unilateral Leg Extension (WM) SLDL (SS) Stand Leg Curl (RP) Walking Barbell Lunges (WM) Shoulder/Tri A- Clean and Press (SS) HS Shoulder Press (RP) Side Lateral (WM) Decline Close Grip (SS) Dip Machine (RP) Cable Pressdowns (WM) DB Shoulder Press (SS) Smith Machine Shoulder Press (RP) Upright Rows (WM) Close Grip Flat (SS) Skull Krusher (RP) Dips (WM) Back A- Deadlifts (SS) 4-6 T-Bar Rows (SS) 8-10 HS Pulldowns (RP) Wide Grip Pulldowns(SS) 8-12 HS Low Row (WM) Rack Deads (SS) 4-6 BB Bent Over Row (SS) 8-10 Pull Ups (RP) Close Grip Pulldown (SS) 8-12 One Arms DB Row (WM) i did shoulder/tri yesturday and cant work out today because i have a watch so ill pick my back workout on monday. Overhead DB Press- LT-80x4, TT-80x7 Smith Machine Shoulder Press- LT-205x12RP, TT-205x13RP Upright Row- Lt-135x20, TT 155,15 Close Grip- LT- 225x5, TT- 225x9 + 245x5 (went to light first set) Skull Krusher- LT- 70x16RP, TT 75x19RP (Not counting the EZ-Bar weight) Dips- LT- BW+45x16, TT- BW+45x20 Here's some pics of me my goal is to fill out.... especially the upper half... http://www.intensemuscle.com/showthread.php?t=25108 Last edited by MilitaryMuscle : 07-22-2007 at 08:29 PM. |

MM the workout looks good, i will be tuned in
question for you on the WM sets your going to do, are you doing any warmup with that exercise(side lat, dips,one arm rows>>>etc) or just one SS of 20 reps

You have great potential--especially in your overall leg size and development! Now, go out and get your weights up there and in no time you will be posting pictures of a bigger you!

Back Deadlifts - LT-495x3, TT-495x5 T-Bar Rows- LT-7 plates x 10, TT-7 Plates + 25 x 10 Pull Ups(Wide)- lt- 16RP, tt-20RP Close Grip Pulldowns- Lt- 195x8, tt- 195x9 HS Low to High Row- lt-100x11, tt-100x15(not the plate loaded HS machines but there decent) DB Shrugs- 125x15 I did some abs supersetted roman chair with hanging legs raises for 3 sets of 25 each. Then i did stepmill level 9 for 20 minutes.... i was still full from my preworkout meal and i figured i would do some cardio till i was hungry so i could go down some whey and frosted flakes. All in all it was a pretty good workout.... i pussed out on the deads i could have got 6 but i had siked myself up to get 5 and once i got 5 i was done but i know i could have gone one more. The diet is a fun day however im gonna get down 1200 plus carbs today and im eating all my fav cereal..... i feel like a lil kid. Last edited by MilitaryMuscle : 07-23-2007 at 11:30 PM. |

cardio- 45 min on my friend named the stepmill.... level 9
Today was coolwhen i woke up i felt pregnant from the 1300+ carbs i put down but i felt much better when i gave birth! I forgot to add i have to do cardio 4 days during mon-fri because i have to show up for PT at 2 PM (which is my morning since i work till 7 AM).... which is fine because i have it in with the chief that runs the program and he just make me show my face and muster then i can do whatever i want..... meaning i dont have to do stupid stuff like push ups, jumping jacks... ect... Plus to tell the truth i auctually lift better when i do cardio when i wake up.. The only day i dont do cardio is on leg day and if its a lifting day i do 30 min instead of 45. Ive been doing it like this for 9 months now so im pretty used to it.... weight this morning was 245.7 after the 5 pound baby i delivered! |

well i decided to work out today... i found out i have to do some military bullshit tomorrow and wont be able to lift... basically im gonna be messed up the next couple of days... i have to do some training class which is from 730 am till 330 pm and im usually sleeping during those hours since i work from 1030 pm till 7am normally.... so tomorrow is going to be a rough day! This is why its hard for me to have a set scheadule at times because a lot of stupid stuff comes up unplanned!
chest/bi bb flat bench- lt 275x3, tt 275x4 db flat bench- lt- 100x 12RP, tt 100x14RP db flat flys- lt-60x17, tt-60x19 stretches standing alt db curls- lt- 60x6, tt 60x8 e-z bar preacher- lt-85x27RP, tt-105x14RP rope cable curls-lt120x17, tt-120x19 stretches i felt real full today because all the carbs i ate yesturday and my "pumps" auctaully hurt me! |

Pretty good work out i owned the front squats... felt pretty damn good! The Lunges were a breath buster as well. Im sure my legs will be very sore! anyways heres my basic diet day in day out.... meal 1 60 g whey + 3 tablespoons PB meal 2 10 oz ground beef(cooked) + 2 Tablespoon PB or 2 tablespoons olive oil Pre 10 g BCAA Post 15 g BCAA + 5 g Creatine Monohydrate 15 Min later 60 g whey Meal 3 same as 2 Meal 4 2 can tuna + 1/2 cup almonds ( sometimes its 10 oz chicken but tuna is cheeper) Meal 5 same as 2 or 4 Meal 6 same as 2 or 4 Meal 7 6 whole eggs + 6 whites if im still up i have another shake but im usually asleep by now and then every 5th day i load up on 1200+ carbs.... I real like this type of diet im really energized and dont feel sluggish at all plus i feel strong at the same time.

I am the same way with carbs...I find it harder in the off-season to eat; especially a lot of carbs--I am more comfortable eating moderate carbs and always high protein and "good" fats.

Nice numbers.
Are you monitoring your macronutrient ratio? I'm also on trace carbs per day but after fat adapting myself my energy levels are sky high.

not really monitoring just making sure i get close to 500 g protein and 250 fat... im kinda building my way up on the fat i know its a tad low right now so basically that breaks down to 7 meals of 70 g protein+35 grams of fat which is a 50/50 ratio of percentage of calories.... the only carbs i have are the ones in protein shakes, PB and nuts. Yeah once your in ketosis or "fat adapted" energy levels are off the chain.

Also, do you drain the fat from your ground beef? I'm kind of torn at this stage - for the past few years I've always drained the grease and cut away visible fat from any meat I cook since this is what's been drilled into my head all these years; fat is bad. However, after opening my eyes and reading around (good article on EliteFTS about cholesterol myths today) I've contemplated just drinkin 'er down.

Dip machine set got pretty wild as well as the the HS SHoulder Press RP set. I really like my workout structure thus far.... im in and out in reasonable time! Another great thing happened in the gym..... a new group of guys straight from boot camp came in and was using the squat rack(Yes theres only one) for curls...... i kindly went over and gave them "what the squat rack is for 101" and they were cool about it and didnt act tough..... i dunno it was pretty fun for some reason the look on there faces was priceless.
