push day --------- rack bench: done in a squat cage; these are a lot harder than i thought 3-4" off chest: -135x8 -185x2x5 5" off chest: -205x4 -205x3 8-9" off chest: -225x2x4; hard as hell. flat bench: med grip 135x10- felt weird since i did these after rack work. felt like i had rubber bands attached to my arms paused bench: 155x4, couldn't lock out on fifth rep db extreme chest stretch: 60 lb for 1 minute: ouch db shoulder press: full ROM 40x9 upright row: 70x10 ab machine: 115x15 tricep pulldown w/ rope: 80x20 pull ups: wide bwx5, bwx6 -wanted to come in and do regular bench, maybe sets of 185-195 but need to change things up with it to get out of this plateau. those rack bench are no joke, i'm thinking of switching between rack bench, paused bench, and maybe sets of 3 to get me out of this plateau.

How do you like the chest stretch? Hurts like a mofo. Doing any of the other stretches?
I love doing paused benches also.

i love the chest stretch, it was just painful as hell today after the rack bench. it's been two weeks since i bench so that's a reason for the pain but i pushed through it.
i want to start doing the other extreme stretches but i would be in the gym a lot longer if i did. I would do the quad stretch and tricep stretch if i ever get time for them.

Don't expect the pain to get any better..........I have been doing them for a long time and they still bring to near tears the last 5 seconds (especially the chest).........good stuff.
Thanks for posting a log.

today i'm planning to do deads and back. hams and calves are still sore but i'm going to do them. i wonder if the sore hams will affect my deads today, i'm aiming for 295x5.
just contracted my legs and quads, hams, and calves are still sore.

good to see your putting up a log buddy, trust me its totally worth the few extra minutes everyday. after a while youll really be able to guage your progress and make neccessary corrections in your workouts.
youd be suprised how many of the members will view your log and give you pointers when you ask it of them. good luck with your program.. make sure you try and kick the **** out of your log book every set and you wont be sorry.

pull day ----------- deads: wasn't sure to do deads today becuase legs are still sore. That and all i had before this workout was a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast and two protein shakes. felt no leg drive 135x5 185x3 205x3- 225x3 245x5-sumo 265x5- sumo -weight felt heavier today, i should have waited til tomorrow to deadlift. i wonder if last week's deads were right, i did 275x5 last week -i think i had 2- 45s 2-35s 6-10s on the bar. i don't know, i'm sure i counted them right, hope i did. 265 did feel like the 275 last week. next week i'll make sure to do 295. bo rows/ pendlay rows: 95x2x10 115x2x10 lat pulldown: 120x10 135x8 cable rows: 120x10 135x10- i think i did 135 or could it have been 150? damn, i'm forgetting things now. standing bb curls: 60x10 60x8 -biceps worn out from all the rowing. -i can't believe i went into the gym today. I had less than 1000 calories coming in to workout 5:00pm. -i ate nothing becuase i was studying for a test all up til it. i should have gotten something to eat, then again i should have lifted tomorrow with my legs fully recovered. damn it!!

i've been sleeping at 1 am or later this whole week, well really this whole year. not good at all. Last semester i had classes three days a week, class every other day. that meant i got a lot of sleep last semester. its not going to help next semester when i'm going to have 8 am classes and labs at night, damn labs

push day ----------- rack bench: 1" off chest: the bar touched my chest b/c of the arch i use -135x5 -175x5 -185x5 3" off chest: i moved over to the cage for the rest of the rack work. this is where i started off last week -205x2x3 5" off chest: next pin up, i think. was the same height as the set of 205 last week -225x2x3 8-9" off chest: -235x2x3 rack work felt easier. wanted to do 245 on the last set but kept it at 235 reg. flat bench: 135x10 db extreme chest stretch: 30 lb dbs for 1 minute. after realizing that i was doing these wrong i lowered the weight and did 30s. they weren't as heavy so i'll do 35s or 40s next week. standing military press: 95x2x6- last rep on last set got halfway up. extreme shoulder stretch: ouch, will do these more. my biceps got a good stretch also cable side laterals: 1-arm 20x1x15 pull ups: wide bwx10 skull crushers: not sure how much the crooked barbell weighs so i'll just put the weight i put on it +20x10 +40x5 dips: bwx15 ab machine: 100x15 100x10 bench seems to be getting stronger. hope legs recovers so i can hit deads heavy this week, if not i'm thinking of working back without doing deads or doing light deads or even rack deads.

pull day --------- hammer strength isolateral rows: 1 arm at a time 45x8 55x8 65x5 75x8 90x6 hammer strength lat pull down: 1 arm at a time, underhand grip 45x5 70x5 80x5 deadlifts: all conventional unless stated sumo 135x5 185x3 205x3 225x5 245x5 275x2- sumo. grip was slipping. hands felt powdery 275x3- sumo. added straps 295x2- sumo. ouch, pulled with too much back. PR - i'm thinking of taking it light on deads, maybe pull from a higher postion, rack deads, or pull singles. cable rows: close grip 105x10 120x10 135x10 face pulls: 90x15 bb curls: 60x2x10 pullups: bwx4, tired lol -i felt good on the deads, grip was the only thing wrong, it wasn't strength- they kept slipping. 295 didn't go up as i anticipated. may take next week off since i have THREE exams next week. Damn it. I'm going back to study.
