4/18/2004 Chest/Biceps

Oh my god what a crappy workout!! I had a raging headache through the entire workout. Totally sucked ass. I never want to workout with a pounding headache again!!!!!!! Overall I think I pushed the weights pretty good considering the intense pain I was in. I cant imagine how well I would of done if i felt good.

Chest: 10 sets
Flat Barbell Bench
255 x 13, This set scared the sh*t out of me. I almost got the 13th rep stuck with no spotter around. When I finished, my head felt like it was going to explode.
275 x 7
285 x 4
255 x 8

Incline Barbell Bench
195 x 12
215 x 8
225 x 6
195 x 10

Flat Flys
45 x 21
45 x 14

Biceps: 8 Sets
Barbell Curls, Narrow Grip, Perfect form no swinging except the last rep.
115 x 12
125 x 9
125 x 9

Dumbell Curls, Perfect form no swinging period
45 x 9
45 x 8
45 x 7


90 Degree Barbell Preacher, Perfect form really squeezing at the peak contraction. These made my biceps feel like they were going to rip out of my skin.
65 x 8
65 x 7

Overall energy/motivation level (Scale 1 to 10): 3(Overall good weights, but man I felt horrible)

[Traps]

Forced to take days off because of the pinched nerve in my neck.

[Traps]

Neck still stiff with mild headache. Havent had to take any ibuprofen yet today.

[Traps]

Havent taken any ibuprofin for a day and a half now. I think I'll try working out tonight.

[Traps]

Ahh I was lazy and didnt try to workout. I'm still a little nervous about pissing my neck off again. Havent had to take any med's and my neck feels alot better. I think I'll try working out tonight.

4/24/2004 Chest/Biceps

3 sets flat bench, 3 sets incline bench
3 sets barbell curl, 1 set dumbell curl

My neck felt good, weights felt heavy. I'm sure after a week off, it'll take a week or 2 to get back into my routine.

[Traps]

I'm back!!!

Havent worked out for what seems like forever, lost about 10 lbs, and have no endurance. I started lifting again, and should be back in shape in a month or so. I've been working out for 3 days now, and today is my off day. I'm sooooo sore!!

[Traps]

Soreness after my workouts is starting to go away. Right now I'm doing 6 sets for large muscle groups, and 4 sets for small. I'm going increase it to 8 sets for large, and 6 for small.. . . . .. .. .. . .. .. . ... . .. .. . .. . . . . . .

[Traps]

Still hitt'n it. 8 sets big, 6 sets small. . .. ... . .. ..... . .. . . ..... My body's starting to bloat up again.

[Traps]

Going to start 10 sets for big and 8 sets for small today. I've written a computer program to keep track of my training, diet, supplements, etc so I being kinda lazy about posting my results here. Maybe I'll get around to posting them again.

[Traps]

Still alive, been hitting 10/8 pretty hard. I had to take a day off after each of my last 2 chest days. My diet has been poor, still making gains. Got a ways to go before I get back to the weights and size I was at a couple months ago. Shouldnt take too long now that I've kicked myself in the arse and am going to make a commitment to my diet and sleep.

[Traps]

I'm having problems getting my flat bench back to where I was. I did 235 for 12 yesterday. I've been hovering around 10-12 for the past month on my first sets of 235. My curls have gone up about 30lbs. I did 145 for 9 without any forearm pain. My form is alright, not perfect though.

I switched my chest routine around from,
5 sets flat barbell
5 sets incline barbell
==>> to
3 sets flat barbell
3 sets incline barbell
2 sets flat dumbell
2 sets incline dumbell

[Traps]

Cranking, arms 18", body weight 190lbs, bench 265x9. I've lost a little fat since I was steadily working out a couple months ago.

[Traps]

My appetite has gone through the roof since I started taking himalaya liver care. Maybe its just in my head, but dang I'm hungry right now!!

[ryanbodybuilder]

welcome back traps!

[Traps]

Hey thanks dude!

I'm preparing myself for my next cycle. I've dropped my sets from 12 for large and 9 for small to 6 for large and 4 for small. I want to make sure i'm not starting my next cycle in a state of overtraining. I will increase my sets by 2 until i'm back to 10/8 over the next week and a half. My next cycle is going to consist of 15mgs m1t. My goal is 1/2 increase in arms and 20-30lbs increase in bench. I wanna be repping 285 for 10, and 18 1/2" arms

[ryanbodybuilder]

good deal dude, and you using 4ad transdermal and front loading for a few days? you should use 4derm but add 4 g of 4ad to each bottle and give yourself about 800mg/day of that stuff......you will get massive! my guns are 18 now, and i want to get up to 19ish after my cycle of test enan and dbol (or m1t)

[Traps]

Nah, screw 4ad, I just use m1t.
