    The PowerBuilder

    (Tried to bump the old log but couldn't find it.)

    After facing some adversities which put my out of comission for a while (including, but not limited to: a tumor, a car and a bike crash) I've returned after concluding I am indestructable

    Let's get this show on the road.

    Been working with Scott Stevenson (Homonunculus) for a couple of months now, never been this lean and this strong, while simultaneously being allowed to eat whatever the hell I want certain times during the day. May the Thunder Gods raise a palace in Scott's honor.


    Let's bring out the guns.

      Posting Thrusday's training session to get this thread started.

      Had to ditch Saturday's training because I had too little sleep, and I figure it was best to get some rest in rather than to have a bad day at the gym.

      Close and low Leg Press

      Not very close, this model of LP has a "V" cut into the lower end of the plate. Also hurt the living shit out of my left VL, might take a traditional stance in the future.


      Warm-up sets:

      450x10
      540x8
      630x6
      720x3
      810x3
      900x3

      Work sets:

      990x9
      a bit too high

      [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n4tl776FN0[/YOUTUBE]

      990x8
      perfect

      [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAknX3-ngWQ[/YOUTUBE]


      630x27
      widowmaker set, too light, could've gonne heavier

      [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jhLAxuF5WM[/YOUTUBE]


      1 min stretch for each quad, starting with the left quad



      Leg Press Calf press

      Warm-up sets:
      180x10
      270x8
      360x6

      Work sets:
      450x12
      500x8

      For some reason my right calf kept getting more fired up than my left one, if this remains an issue might have to switch out this exercise. That "V" cut into the plate doesn't help either, makes me have to adjust my foot placement a lot.


      2 min stretch calves


      Seated Ham Curl

      Lots of warm-ups because my hammies are prone to straining.
      Did some slow eccentrics, otherwise can't get any pump from this machine.

      Warm-up sets:
      35x12
      45x10
      55x8
      60x6
      65x3

      Work sets:
      75x17
      85x12

      Lots of ham pain, the way it's supposed to be.


      5 sets of 10 sec stretches for each ham
      My gym has funky ass machine for stretching hams. Works wonders.


      7/10 training session. If it wasn't for the quad pain ( will need to check on this) and the general stress from college it would've been better.

        Actually, two car crashes.

        But on the first one I wasn't driving, so it doesn't count.

                I need to get some quality sleep asap. I can see I won't be doing anything productive today besides napping... so much for my study schedule, but at least I don't have to work today.

                Heavy Ab Day
                For today I used this machine called "Ab Coaster" or something like that and it's awesome. 3 sets of 12 with 40lbs.





                6/10 day. Was tired and stressed and my pre-intra mix only make me sleepier. Had a monster energy before going to the gym but those don't help much. And my elbow sleeves kept cutting of circulation to my arms, besides filling up with air and making fart noises whenever I extended my arms. Annoying as hell.

                              This week will be really shitty if I don't sleep soon. I eletrocuted myself on a circuit board during class. Woo.

                              May 21, 2013

                              easy enough, more weight next week.

                              Ov. Cable conc. curl

                              Weird feel, but good pump.


                              Biceps stretch

                              Front Pulldown

                              Scott wrote me the HS Pulldown but they replaced the plate loaded model for a shitty selectorized version. The feel of the machine is completely different, it was a bitch to grip the pads (rubber thingy in the bar wasn't glued very well) and I maxed out the stack warming-up . No way.

                              Also not sure if the weight on the machine is written as KG or Lbs.

                              warm-up
                              135x8

                              Done with straps, first RP set felt easy, will add a got 20 pounds next week.

                              Went back to the Ab Coaster machine and did 20 reps on each position with 25 lbs until I hit 100 reps.

                              Buuurrrnnn.
