Day 1

Chest (Back was not hit; had limited time)



Flat BB Bench
2x135-15 reps
1x225-8 reps
1x245-2 reps
1x315-1 rep

Incline Smith Neck Press (Incline bench at Smith Machine, bar brought down to neck, 30 degrees, wide grip)

1x8-205
1x4-225

Cable Flyes (supersetted between low and high)

Notes:
Strength was down from 3 weeks ago (hit 335 on bench). I possibly need to eat before lifting in order to regain the strength from weeks ago. Ran out of time due to time constraints, so I was not able to hit Back today.

Notes:
Horrible day on my diet, especially considering last night I ate steak, tuna, and veggies throughout the day. I had off today, which plays a part in it, due to me being lazy from having no set breakfast, lunch, and supper time. To fix the problem, I need to be more strict on diet on my days off.

Took a pic a few minutes ago.

I apologize for the shitty quality (same goes for my avatar). Using a built in cam on my only computer-a Toshiba Satellite laptop.

I'm clearly lacking in chest and rear delts, and I need to lose more body fat.

Goals:

Be a shredded 190-200lbs (im only 5'7).
Get back to at least 3/4/5 (my s/d went from 405x2/505 to now at best 225/335 due to herniated l4/l5).
Drink less bourbon.

With that said, I didn't drink tonight.

Another diet with 'peanut butter' now I have to come and check it out he at least it wasnt 'natty' peanut butter.

Oh yea, obligatory leg pic. They're smaller than they used to be (thanks back injury)! They'll going to get bigger though. Just noticed my flat screen makes another appearance behind me, lol.

I just like to eat peanut butter; hell I eat the shit out of the jar with a spoon it tastes so good, and I didn't feel like cooking bacon or eggs again..I prefer "jif" peanut butter.

Usually I eat bacon or eggs for breakfast, bud.

Looking great bro keep it up!!

[AllTheWay]

nice start to what appears like it is going to be a very informative and educational log!

hot dogs make me want to vomit peanut butter is awesome but i dont eat it anymore or i would weigh 300#! as a kid my parents bought a big 5# can that the top had to be opened with a can opener. us kids would eat the whole thing in a few weeks mostly just by taking big spoonfuls.

you will get your strength back just dont screw more stuff up trying to get there too fast.

how old are you?

Bon-bon, from the looks of your pics you have short muscles.....when you fill out they ought to have somewicked separation and peaks. Interested to see what your midget ass can produce....I'm only 5'8", lol.

My view on reps and sets

I use a variety of rep ranges in order to take advantage of both forms of hypertrophy, those being myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic. With lower reps and intensive lifting, the myofibrils grow within skeletal tissue, thus given you myofibrillar hypertrophy. Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy is achieved through an increase of sarcoplasm in the muscle due to endurance based higher rep ranges.

However, if my focus is strength (such as flat Bench Press), I still use a variety of rep ranges, but the majority of my reps are in the lower range (1-6). This way I can still get some hypertrophy as well strength increases.

Yea, it's a double edged sword to me. I do wish I had low inserts like Oliva sometimes; jealous of the triceps lol
