hey brothers and sisters, iv'e always logged by paper, but a lesson was taught to me by myself, my last and most important log was on my table stacked amongst other mags and paper so i decided to take out the recyclables, it had bro contacts, diets and my come-back from my acl tear, all gone now, i just hope where ever it is,it didnt become toilet paper and some ****-head isnt wiping his ass with my precious log.
i had a very successful run with madcow 5x5, very impressive results adding 30+ lbs on my frame in a few short months, granted, i was in deplorable condition and wasted down to around 165. here is my current routine:
monday:chest, biceps,abs tuesday: legs, calves wednesday: delts, traps(5 sets, they get their comeuppance on fri)abs. off thursday. friday: lats, traps, abs.
i also went back to a 15,12,10,8,6,4 rep scheme, with 8 being the start of the do-or-die sets.if im feeling it, i will add a stinger set at the end of maybe 10-15 reps.
monday- decline presses, incline flys(angle may vary, but not too steep) flat fly, dumbbell pullover.
curl, scott curl, hammer curl.
weighted decline sit-ups, clarence bass style-with negatives.
tuesday- squats,(i warm up squats with squats, because, i am squatting!) leg press, stiff deads, lying leg curls, standing and seated calf raises.i may sub sissy squats for leg presses should i feel the need to.
wednesday- seated presses with a nebula press, mimics the dumbbell press without wasting energy on the heaving.side laterals, every other week i run the rack with these, lying side laterals, 3 sets front raises(barbell or dumbbell)
shrugs
reverse crunch machine supersetted with standard crunches.
friday- deadlifts or rack pulls, usually alternate every other week. reverse close grip cable pull-downs, cable rows or t-bars.
very heavy shrugs, more like a power-shrug.
leg press calf raises, front-squat machine calf raises.
this routine is working well for me, i will post weights, reps, progress starting on monday...cant wait!!!
Cool deal Oldschool. Get er done.
**** me, triceps are done on shoulder day!! close-grip bench, bench dips, standing cable extension.

Awesome Oldschool, I'm in. Let's see some crushing!!!

thanks everyone! with this new found log(thanks for the advice pob!) i hope by logging online, i can set some pr's along with some new growth for oldschool!
hey bro's!! kicked it in the ASS today!! i arrived at the gym, ready to go, set up for my declines, when 'ron' ran over to me complaining about his xmas lights, i will never be de-railed by any one elses non-sense again! i smiled, said that sucks, and got busy, real ****in' busy! i was in a trance, almost spiritual if you will.by the time i got to biceps, i had no sense of time, i was there..i started biceps on the scott curl at 11:05, and kept going on it, the next time i looked at the clock it was 11:30.My pump has totally returned. it's been a few years since i blew up like that! i dont really care about the pump/no pump for growth arguments, it just felt great.. after abs, i left the gym on top of the world! i need to know how i got in the zone as quickly and intensely as i did...i need more, i actually almost puked upon leaving, only happens after legs, awesome for me to say the least!!
Thats the TID log effect.
seems that way pob! couldnt wait to get back and report on my very urrr uhhh orgasmic(per arnold) workout!!
had a decent quad/ham/calf workout. i say decent because i had to use the half-rack, im not to crazy about the pin settings and lack of catches..
squat-5 sets last 2 sets 445 at 4 reps and 3. my knee was cracking so i stopped short, but was still satisfying as to my below parallel!
sissy squats- 5 sets, 2 warm ups, then 25lb, 35lb, 45, lb. nice burns bros!
lying leg curls supersetted with leg extensions, 4 sets each, 65lb leg curls(getting less cramping!!) the whole stack at the leg extension machine, 225lbs... last set i stripped on each of the above mentioned...awesome!
seated calves, 4x15
standing front squat machine, 5x 10-15, last set 450x10, knee seems to be getting less wobbly, so i must be doing something right! 14 hrs later and im domsing like crazy!!!...id say 7 out of 10, i only got nauseous, no vomiting.
Excellent work dude!!!!
Great work OS, I love the brutal leg days bro, you know when you've done it right because you feel like that shit LOL... Keep killing it!!!
