Maximus is lifting some weights
SO I guess i should give some background information. I am Junior at Appalachian STate UNiversity in NC. My freshman year I got to 275 pounds and hadnt lifted a weight (i was fat). I ended up going on a diet and by start of sophmore I weight 240 and I started lifting weights. I benched 185x2 squatted 225x3 (not ATG) and I didnt start deadlift until about 10 months ago, when i did start i could deadlift 315x1. I have lifted fairly consistantly but I had to take 2 and a half months off this summer because I went to work in California and did not have a vehicle and was miles from a town or a gym. I did ab work and pushups and ran, thats about all i could do, i got by. I got back In August and hadnt lost too much strenght, but i was weaker.
My current stats are: height: 6'0 weight: 229 % bodyfat: 18-22 (not really sure) Squat: 315 Dead: 405 bench: 265 I squatted 305 for 3 sets of 3 last week going ATG, so I am pretty sure my PR is alot higher than 315, just havent trid to max in a while. As you can see, I increased most of my lifts around 100 pounds over the last 14 months (while missing 2.5 months). During that time i lost 11-13 pounds, so I am pretty happy about that. My workouts, Im not sure if they are called something, or a certain type, i just lift and it works for me, if it has a name, someone can let me know. I actually enjoy cardio, so I do a mix of walking on treadmill with a high incline, HITT, and I play flag football and ultimate frisbee alot (more sprinting than you think). Also, I injured my shoulder about 4 weeks ago, just last week was the first time i could do a pushup again. All upper body stuff has been brought to a halt for the most part. Just today i felt like it was good enough to start lifting, so i took it real slow, and went pretty light. Last edited by wnxmaximus; 10-25-2006 at 04:08 PM.

10/17
I have tried sumo deads a few times, but always got discouraged cause they werent up to par with convential style deads, so i decided to suck it up and start training them today. Sumo deads - 315x2 / 315x3 / 315x3 / 225x10 (wow, these made my glutes yell) bent bb row - 155x6 / 155x5 hyperextensions - bwx15 (I had fall break and went camping so i didnt lift for about 4 days) 10/24 squats - 305x3x3 whewww....those were special. I added belt after 1st set and it made a difference, not sure how it felt, not easier necessarily, but different. bent bb rows - 135x10 / 145x10 / 155x7 bb curls - 75x7 / 75x6 ab machine - 90x20x2 ab/adductors hip work - 10 reps each leg 10/25 (today) I had busitis in my shoulder from an injury about 4 weeks ago, its feeling better, first time back at bench, taking it slow to see how it feels. bb bench - 185x8 / 195x8 / 205x8 (shoulder feeling great) bb decline - 185x11 / 205x5 (my triceps died) tricep pushdown - 50x25 (this stack is different from other, the 50 weighs alot more than it does on the other ones, not sure why) cardio - 20 minutes on treadmill with 6 incline adn 3.8 speed. burnd 260 calories. Probably do HITT friday.

Well, they make sense, that you move less distance, and it works hips a little more. I am going to get sumo up to par, and start alternating each week, i just want to be able to do both way, if i do a meet, i want to have both options.

Nice to see you "exposing" yourself with this journal. Very nice to see that you add how felt in the gym and after the workout.

We are doing pretty good, I would guess we are on our way to the playoffs for sure, and very good chance we will be back in the Championship. We have a new quarterback, but hes holding up well. We will just have to see. Ya, I like expressing my emotions, so everyone gets the full effect. Last edited by wnxmaximus; 10-27-2006 at 03:02 PM.

So on my second sets of dead, at lockout, my left hand grip slippe about a quarter of an inch real fast, and it felt weird, so i lowered the weight, and yep, i tore the callous right below my middle finger, that did not feel good. I got a paper towel to stop the bleeding and finished my workout, and had one of the best dead days ive ever had, go figure.
Deadlift sumo - 315x5 315x5 (callous tore, added straps) 365x1 385x1 405x0 (Crap, i gotta get this) 405x1 hammer grip rows - 135x10 180x6 hyper ext. - bw x 15 x 10 alt db curls - 30x10 each arm bb curls - 75x10 75x9 preacher curls - 55x11 55x8 ab work leg press - 360x20 (really deep) calves So i feel good about those deadlifts after I tore my callous, it hurt, but i worked through it, and i am really glad i didnt stop now. I just started doing Sumo's last week, so to meet my PR for conventional after 1 week...i feel great about that. It was by no means a pretty 405, but it was a lift.

So my back is sore today, and my chest is still sore from Wednesday, and the palm of my hand dont feel so hot from that torn callous...but despite it all I still feel great cause its all due to me getting stronger, so its all worth it.
Appalachian State had a football game today, we won 40-7, so i decided to have a cheat day, and just eat, and sunday i will get back to eating well. Today I had: bowl of cereal 6 eggs 8oz milk bagel w/ egg, bacon, ham 21 slices of pizza from cici's the only good news is almost all of those were chicken pizza, so i got more protein than i would with a normal pizza, so ya, i feel like a fatty, thats ok, cause one day wont kill you, and it makes the next week of dieting easier to think about.

My current 1 rep max for squats is 315, i did that back before the summer. I didn't lift all summer, and I am more than caught back up now. I just started going ATG in august, so I had to start squats back at 225. Before this semester i was probably going a bit above parallel.
Squats: 315x3x3 PR box squats: these sure do fry those hips 225x5 205x5 hip work with the girl machine bb rows: 155x10 155x8 hang cleans: 175x5 175x5 ab work I also got a racket ball match after i lifted, to further weaken my legs, it was fun Last edited by wnxmaximus; 10-30-2006 at 05:04 PM.

Bench press- 225x5 245x1 (not too bad) 265x0 (previous PR from May, the summer and this last month made me weak, dangit, im gonna get back there fast, i know i can.) 205x8 205x7 Flat DB-didnt know where i was with these, my stabilizers arent up to par 80x4 tricep ext. w/rope 90x25 Diet: protein meal 1: 2 chicken biscuits - 36g meal 2: 12 oz. tuna - 70g meal 3:12 oz. chicken - 55g 2 cups rice - 10g workout meal 4: 16 oz. milk - 16g 2 scopps whey - 36g so 223 grams so far, hopefully get some eggs in me before bed, try to get to 250 or better
