yesterday i trained abs and ran for 45 minutes and weighed 257 but i think the scale was off..today is going to be a hell of a workout and im pretty stoaked about it

[VBigNate]

WOOHOOHOO!! todays workout was bad fvckin ass!!! woo i love this sh!t!!

i could barely walk out of the gym today...

Biceps: Alternate Db curls: 60x10x6x4(each arm)...needed more weight
Forearms: Hammer Curls: 40x20 (each arm) good set
Calves: 225x12 w/20 sec negs (burned like hell)
Quads: Squat 405x8...widowmaker 315x20 (too light i think ill go 340 next time)
Hams: Laying Leg Curl 165x15x7x4 w/20 sec static (HARD! and was cramping but i held in there and didnt give up until i totally exhausted myself)

tried to run but could only last 5 minutes because i was on the verge of puking so i just did some light stretches on the untrained body parts and did extreme stretches after each lift

[jlozan84]

lmao - another person converted to DC. I love it.

[VBigNate]

i love the pain and i love working hard to get it...i love sweating and totally exhausting myself...i guess thats why i love BBing so much

[jlozan84]

DC is all about the pain.......I find the damn stretches to be the worst. I dread doing those f*cking things everytime I train.

[VBigNate]

oh stretching the hams are the worst, it was worse than the pain of cramping! quads arent too pleasant either.. now i cant wait till friday

hey on the biceps, should id do slow negs with the RP or no?

[jlozan84]

yes, just be careful.........bis are a small muscle and you don't wanna f*ck something up. A lot of guys when they get real heavy on bis, they don't even R/P.

[VBigNate]

truthfully i hardly felt a pump after..i didnt do slow negs i just pumped out as many reps as i could until my form was out of whack...next time im going to do lighter weight with slow negs and see how that feels

[VBigNate]

weighed 257 today...seems i can get past that...but i ran for 45 minutes after a light ab workout, then did some light stretching...

tomorrow im going to run in the morning then hit the weights late afternoon

tomorrow workout will be:
Chest - incline smith bench 11-15 RP with 20 sec static
Shoulders - upright row 11-20 RP no static
Triceps - im gonna try RGBP again but if i dont like it then ill switch to CGBP
Back width - close grip pulldowns 11-15 RP w/20 sec static
Back Thick - t-bar rows straight set 10-12
then a 20 min. run

[VBigNate]

today's workout fvckin rocked except for triceps again...RGBP blows IMO i just cant get it to really stimulate my tri's..anyways i weighed 255

chest: Incline Sith Press - 245x9x3x3 w/ 8 sec negs and 20 sec static (stretch with 55's)
shoulders: Upright Row - 145x9x4x3 w/8 sec negs
Triceps: Smith RGBP 135x10x5x4...cant hit my fvckin tri's >
Back w: CG pulldowns 110x8x5x4 w/20 sec static (really hit the lats
Back T: T-Bar rows 135x18 (way too light! add 25 lb)

[jproudj]

What kind of grip are you using on the RGBP?

[VBigNate]

very wide, but i did it on the smith machine, which may be the culprit

[VBigNate]

weighed in at 253.5 yesterday, so ive lost 9.5 lbs in 3 weeks..

my legs are still sore from wednesdays leg workout which really pisses me off because they should be recovered enough, im going to do my leg workout anyway

Reverse grip is not suppose to be very wide???

I hold about a little wider then my shoulder.

[VBigNate]

wooo todays workout was the hardest so far...

biceps: Preacher Curls 75x11(way to easy) 95x6x4(good weight)
Calves: Seated Raises: 50x10 w/ 5 sec negs and 10 sec stretch hold
Forearms: Hammers 45x40(good set)
Hams: Leg Press 855x10(way too light) 765x20(hardest set ive EVER done) burned like holy hell and i couldnt stand up after!
Quads: Leg Ext. 180x11x6x6 w/20 slow negs and 12 sec static( would have gone longer but i was totally burned out)

didnt run after ward, it was hard enough to just stand up (ill need alot of sleep and glutamine to recover from this)

[FoRuMbOaRdS360]

Aw man thats why you cant feel your tris. Your grip on RGBP should be so tight that when you have a neg your arms are rubbing against your side. Just about shoulder width apart. Oh and dont use a smith for rgbp just go bb

[VBigNate]

ok ill try one more time! i hope it works! thanks for the form help

Grip little wider then shoulder, you bring the bar at the bottom of your sternum.

I prefer doing it on the smythe for safety reason...
