Hammer Curls – 35x2x10

Dips – Bodyweightx2x10

Daily “Selfie” – This was one of my favorite shirts.  I haven’t worn it in a long time.  It is from the Dark Star Skateboard clothing line.  I didn’t know that when I bought it.  I just liked the warrior with the huge axe.  The reason I haven’t worn it in almost 2 years is because it is a XL.  I haven’t felt comfortable wearing anything smaller than XXL since.  I can finally fit back into it and feel semi-comfortable.  It is a little tight around the belly still, but I am working on that.#LoseTheBelly

Monday – Chest/Arms

Dumbbell Bench Press – 62x2x10

Incline Bench Press – 175x2x10 (This was really hard.  Couldn’t seem to find the right position for the bench or rack height.  I could prop my feet on anything to get a solid base.  I am going to try that weight again next time after I figure out how to get it set up better.)

EZ Bar Curl – 95x2x10

Close Grip Bench Press – 195x2x10

Shoulder Complex – 5x2x10

Daily “Selfie” – This is one of my Christmas presents.  It is a t-shirt with one of my favorite hero/anti-heros, the Hulk.2015-12-28-18.56.37.jpg.jpeg

 

This deload week has been funny.  I maxed on bench and deadlift on Monday and Tuesday to prepare for the CSC Lift-a-thon.  I didn’t get a chance to workout on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.  I did get to lift today, but I didn’t do my prescribed workout.  I am going to chalk this deload week up to needing to re-focus mentally.  Here is what I did:

Bench Press – 135x3x10

EZ Bar Curls – 75x5x10

French Presses – 75x5x10

While I worked out I watched Mark “Smelly” Bell and Silent Mike at supertraining06 on Youtube.  Here is a link:

Daily “Selfie” – Forgot to take one today… 😦

Monday – Chest/Arms

Well, it was supposed to be a deload day at 50% volume and 90% 1RM intensity. Since we have the Lift-a-thon coming up in a couple days and I have no idea where my maxes are currently, I  thought I would train a little differently than programed.  Probably shouldn’t have.

Bench Press – 45×10, 135×10, 225×5, 275×1, 315×1, 335×1 (I think I could have gone heavier, but I was lifting alone so no spotter and didn’t want to hurt myself.)

EZ Curls – 95x4x8 (used the Arm Blaster as well)

Daily “Selfie” – This is one of my old school Notre Dame shirts.  Again, like a previous post, one of the most storied schools in U.S. history.  Every time I head into the Heavy Hammer Gym I have to hit the Play Like A Champion sign.  It reminds me that in order to succeed and be a champion I have to train like a champion.  Also pictured, my trusty SBD Elbow Sleeves and Stiff, 1m Wrist Wraps.  2015-12-14-05.54.03.jpg.jpeg

Friday – Chest/Arms

I did this workout at the school weight room.

Dumbbell Bench Press – 55x5x8

Floor Bench Press – 185x5x8 (first time really trying floor bp)

S.S.1 (superset) Preacher Curls – 80x5x8

S.S.2 French Press – 80x5x8

Assisted Pull Up – 85x2x10

Daily “Selfie” – I took this “selfie” when I got home due to the fact that I trained at school.  This is one of my ‘Merica shirts.  Every 4th of July I try to buy a new shirt that represents my love and patriotism for my country and for those that defend her.2015-12-12-07.22.07.jpg.jpeg

 

Wednesday – Shoulders/Arms

Overhead Press – was supposed to do 165x5x8, just wasn’t happening.  I tried dropping it to 155x4x8 like I did last week and couldn’t do that either.  I ended up doing 155x4x5

Seated Dumbbell Press – 50x5x8

Hammer Curls – 30x5x8

Dips – bwx5x8

Daily “Selfie” – This is yet another Bro-tank from Wal-mart.  This one has one of the infamous predators on it, a great white shark.  Also in this photo you can see my trust SBD Elbow Sleeves as well as my EliteFTS Strong(er) Lever Belt.  I am unsure if they still sell the belt because I couldn’t find it on their website, http://www.elitefts.com.  I bought it about a year ago when it was on sale for around $80.00.  20151209_053456.jpg

Monday – Chest/Arms

Dumbbell Bench Press – 50x5x8

Incline Bench Press – 165x5x8

EZ Bar Curl – 85x5x8

Shoulder Complex – 5x5x8

Daily “Selfie” – This is my Toughest shirt (yes, I know…hahaha). I got this shirt at the Quad City Strength and Fitness Expo this summer. Tugfest is a giant game of tug-of-war.  You can find more about it here: http://www.tugfest.com/history.  I want to compete in this someday. Again, also pictured are my SBD Elbow Sleeves and Inzer wraps.2015-12-07-05.48.05.jpg.jpeg
