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)

Adductor (WM)

Smith Front Squats (SS)

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

23July07

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.

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!

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!

Walking BB Lunges- LT-135x40 Steps, TT-155x 40 Steps

i did standing calf raises DC style with the whole stack.... i already can get 20+ reps on all the calve machines doing them DC style so i just do them till i cant get anymore i dont remember how many i did there all ready to many numbers running through my head with counting the stretch and negative portion.

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.

HOLY MACARONI! 500 grams of protein? I commend you, good sir!

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.

Shoulders/Tri

Clean and Press- LT-225x2,TT-225x3
HS Shoulder Press- LT-260x16RP, TT-280x16RP
Side Laterals-LT-50x20,TT-55x16

Close Grip Decline- LT-225x7,TT-245x7
Dip Machine-LT-270x16RP,TT-280x21RP
Straight Bar Pressdowns-LT-150x20,TT170x20

Roman chair superset hanging leg raises- 3 x 25

Good workout..... i love doing the cleans and presses they make me feel strong since its a whole body movement...... 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.
