workout partner didnt show so i had to modify yesterdays workout

20 mins on upright stationary bike, kept heart rate at 130, had to go from level 9 to 11 to maintain it so cardio is getting better
20 mins on stairmaster


bench- 225x4x10(last set had a rest pause at 7 reps, so rested for 20 seconds and completed the last 3)
               -sets were easy but no spotter so i stopped at the 7 just to be safe

Hammer press- 1 plate each sidex20
                         1 plate+25x15
                         1 plate+2-25sx10
                         1 plate+3-25sx3
          drop set-1 plate+ 2-25sx3
                         1 plate+25x8
                         1 platex15

cable flyes

shoulder press- 50sx3x15
side shoulder raise(seated)- 3x15


db curl variations

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAfilDLPoGE" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAfilDLPoGE</a>


basically how rob does it, i feel it a bit more than just normal curls especially when i use the 50s or 60s, and i end it with the guillotine curls


todays back routine I will warm up with a modified fitness test for the Army Rangers

this is the end result of what i want

Ranger PFT          Recommended Scores
Push-ups in 2:00   80+
Sit-ups in 2:00           80+
Pull-ups                   12+
Two-mile run           Sub 13:00 min
5 Mile run                   35:00 min


what I will be testing for to build up to it

Ranger PFT           Minimum Scores
Push-ups             49 in 2:00min
Sit-ups                     59 in 2:00min
Pull-ups                   6
Two-mile run           15:12
5 Mile run                   40:00


I have no ambition to join the military just doing the fitness test for fun

Today:

1.5 mile run- 12.35

pullups- 10 with 1 rest pause( I was just way to fucking tired to pull out a high number)
Push ups- 45 with 1 rest pause
sit ups- 25

did these 1 right after the other and thought I was going to puke



Rack pulls- worked up to 480lbsx1
             - went up fast and probably could have done well over 500 but not going to push it
hammer lat pulldown- 1 platex15
                                   2 platesx10
                                   1 plate+10sx2x15

A few hours before i went to the gym I decided to play a lil bball, dunked on 9'6 easy and back rimmed 10ft

my leg workout yesterday

got about 4 hours of sleep, had to wake up at 6 and work from 7-330 then got to the gym.

had nothing to eat and felt like i had barely any energy to stand so it was pretty shitty

Front squats- 45x10
                    135x5
                    185x3
                    225x1
                    265x1(on a 16" bench or prolly even shorter then that so parallel or below)

                             - It felt decent but i didnt want to risk going higher n crapping out since i never do Front squats

hammer leg press- worked up to 8 plates and had the seat as close as i could get it, did 4 sets of 8-12 range nice and slow
leg press- 8 platesx3x15-20
1 legged leg curls- 65x3x10
extensions- whole stackx3x15

20 min on bike, 10 min on stairmaster and 10 min on elliptical

all n all it sucked and i felt like shit and passed out at about 8 which is about 4 hours earlier than normal

rest tomorrow and get back at it next week hopefully feeling better

monday- chest- nothing special
yesterday- back/bis

rack pulls- maybe 2-3 inches below knees
               -  worked up to 550lbsx1

then worked up to 155 for db rows

then nothing else special normal shit.


going to focus on push ups n shit because I am thinking about talking to the coast guard if they do the thing where they pay for me to go to college for 4 years( i only need 3) and then i serve for 4.  If i do that then i can go in as an officer and start out double what i would now.

                 farmers walks-4x im not sure the weight they are tractor weights for about 100ft one way

It's easier to do bulgarian split squats when they are heavier, you will have better ballance.

did a dunk session

Sore glutes and quads from running

mostly 9ft, did 1 on 9'6 and had to use a flatish ball(still mens size) on 10ft since it got left out in the rain and its been somewhat cold these past few days

and the video will be up soon

http://www.metacafe.com/w/8596048

i had a physical yesterday and i was 255lbs with a hoodie and shoes on so prolly 250 here since i was sweating balls during my workout.  And i measured at just under 5'11 with shoes on

weight- 254

10 mins of cardio on the elliptical

did some machines and cable work for tris and back just stuff i didnt do during the week


20 mins of HIIT on a bike
     - when my heart rate was between 65-70% id kick it up to level 15(out of 20) for 30 seconds then do it again once my HRT went back down to 65%  I got maybe 8-10, takes awhile to get it back down since i was averaging about 160

walked for 10 mins

10 mins in a sauna at 130 degrees



made protein pancakes

5  egg whites
1/4 cup of oats
half a banana
lil bit of water
50 grams of protein(ON Nutrition)

bassically if you dont have a non stick pan then it turns into scrambled pancakes and it tasted not that great but an easy way to get everything in 1 meal and will fill you up

Ive had a lot of shoulder problems in the past which kept me away from incline benching but monday i believe i started with incline and hit a PR

the most i did before was 250 and because I workout with someone weaker  ill just throw 10s on to make it a 45 or whatever so its faster to switch to his weight and i miscalculated and thought it was 265 but i managed to get 275.

other then that just been doing some full body stuff still with strength increases and my weight going down.


After eating like shit for however long ive managed to get back down in the 240s again

i have a video of me warming up for the workout with a dunk session only on 8'6 haha but it was fun buuuut its not really worth posting
