SHRUG Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Starting a training log in which I will record everything I do that is related to my training including diet and sleep. I will include pics and video once I figure out how to upload them. My first entry will be tomorrow as I already trained today and I did not write down exactly what I did. I hope you guys will give me constructive criticism and let me know what you like and don't like. If you have any suggestions, shoot them right out there. I hope that this log will motivate both myself as well as you guys in whatever your goals may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHRUG Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 Tuesday, January 11, 2005 Started off with a exercise that I got from watching Vogelpohl XXX, I call them Westside Lat Rows because they never revealed the name of this exercise in the video. If you have seen the video then you know what I am talking about. Went light on these today because I want to get increased blood flow to my lats and upper back with the reason that I went extremely heavy on this exercise yesterday. Westside Lat Rows 1X50 @ 170lbs 1X25 @ 150lbs 1X50 @ 150lbs Called it quits as my back and lats were burning very badly after my third set and this was for recovery. Barbell Shrugs 1X20 @ 225lbs (warm up) 1X20 @ 405lbs (warm up) 1X6 @ 585lbs 1X 6 @ 675lbs 1X6 @ 805lbs (felt very easy) 1X6 @ 905lbs (good for at least 200 more lbs today for a set of 6) Iron Mind Head Harness I do these in a different style than the other guys on the board do as I have explained before I do them sitting down and it is an actual neck lift not a support, however I do plan on throwing in supports starting next week. 1X5 @ 100lbs (warm up) 1X5 @ 140lbs (warm up) 1X1 @ 190lbs 1X1 @ 230lbs 1X1 @ 280lbs 1X1 @ 320lbs (stayed here today because I have not done these in about 4 months will increase at least 50lbs next workout) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHRUG Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 Just a Texas Power Bar, it is badly bent now though. Only good for Shrugs, Pin Pulls, Pin Presses, and extremely heavy Squat Partials, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showlarson Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 WOW. Shrug, your name is very deserving! The 405 for 20 warm up is simply not cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmainlands Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Inspirational shrug! Keep the reports coming. As you previously mentioned you have a digital video camera, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that any footage would be appreciated, not for proof, just to see and get a glimpse into your heavy training.

SHRUG Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 I can't wait for my workout tonight, the battery on my dad's digital camera was totally dead yesterday so I could not even get any pics but I will have him charge it up and I will snap a couple of pics of tonight's workout. I am gonna start off with light upper back and traps to get increased blood flow to the area for recovery. I always do this now, whatever I did the session before heavy I do the next session with very light weight for recovery. After light upper back and traps I will train biceps and forearms for my main workout, I will snap some pictures of my heavy sets. And I will also get you guys video of me shrugging once I hit the short term goal I have laid out for myself, lets just say it involves buying some more 100lb plates so I have extra room on the sleeve. It won't be long guys I promise. I am also gonna send in video of me doing weighted sit ups with 500+ lbs on my chest. Later fellas gotta go take my supplements, TRAIN HARD!!!!

SHRUG Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 Band Walking This is an exercise where you take a jumpstrech band of your choice and put one end around one foot, you then put on your weight belt on and strech the band up and between your waist and the belt, you then put the other end of the band around your other foot. I used a mini band today as it is the first time I ever tried the exercise. I walked a distance of 1.25 miles making sure to high step all the way, I tried to make sure to bring my knees up to above waist level the entire distance. The mini band did not seem like much at first but at a moderate walking pace while high stepping and with the weight belt pulling hard on your lower back the entire way it was plenty for my first time. I just got finished and it feels really wierd to walk without having to push the band tension down, this is gonna be a very very good conditioning and mass building exercise. 2 hours of rest and it is time for workout #2, later guys.

mmainlands Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Shrug, How many hours per day, days per week, etc.. do you spend training lately? Sounds like major volume.

SHRUG Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 I spend around 4 hours a day usually split into 2-3 sessions and I train 7 days a week now, some of it is recovery work though. If I am not training I am eating and taking supplements, if I am not eating or taking supplements I am either resting or sleeping. I am really hungry to be thet best now, IT IS ALL I CARE ABOUT. If I see a guy on the street that looks like a really big strong guy I find myself wondering how good he is at certain lifts and it pisses me off at the thought that he might be stronger than me on a certain lift, I carry this anger right into my training sessions of the day. I find myself thinking about training all of the time, even in the middle of the night, it is driving me crazy so to get my mind off of thinking about it I just go and do it. 54 minutes till I train again brother, I will update the log when I am done.
