dpc Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm really liking how your squat is progressing Also.... is that a military PR right there?? didnt realize it but that does tie a pr. so did the 3 week. i think though for this following cycle i wont up any of my weights. ill be moving to montana and also i have to factor in biking to work 5 times a day, along with actaully working so i think i might keep my numbers the same. 7/7/13 pull day speed squat 95x5 115x3x2 135x2x8 good morning 75x5 95x5 115x3 135x3 155x3 not a pr.. but i was much more strict on these bb shrugs 135x10 185x10 225x10 abs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpc Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 So I've been without a gym for a couple of weeks as I get settled in my new apt and new job. I went to a gym today and signed up. It's small, only has one half ass squat rack and doesn't allow chalk but it is only $12 a month (compared to the nice gym that was $55 A MONTH!!). I'll start back up tomorrow. I don't have a car here and so I bike everywhere but everything is pretty close. I bike to work which is 4 miles round trip.. and the gym is only 1.5 miles. I'm sure I've lost some strength due to all the biking along with working 40 hours a week and just the hussle of getting a new apartment and a new life. Because of this I think I'm going to drop my military training back a month and keep the other two at the last month that I did. As far as deadlifting... I'm not sure what I'm going to do. My back can't really handle deadlifting 3 times a week but I can't do any sort of rack pull there as there is nowhere to do them. I also can't use chalk and I absolutely hate straps as they just feel weird to me. But I'll keep doing deads and also heavy sets of good mornings but I'll have to try and figure out something else. Hopefully this gym goes okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I'm glad to hear you found something man! Just work into the lifting again and everything will fall back into place. What equipment is there? Will you be lifting before or after work? Also I'll think of some things to do to make some sort of a rack pull possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpc Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 7/25/13 military press 60x5 70x5 85x3 95x5 105x5 120x5 speed bench barx5 65x5 85x3x8 tri pushdowns with bar 35x15x5 (yes, only 35 pounds. the pulley system must be super weird because their 35 pounds feels like la fitness's 90 pounds) upright row 50x10x3 15 pulls ups I'm glad to hear you found something man! Just work into the lifting again and everything will fall back into place. What equipment is there? Will you be lifting before or after work? Also I'll think of some things to do to make some sort of a rack pull possible Not great equpiment. Like I said they have a half ass squat rack. It's basically the 3rd rack that wellness center has that is next to the two real squat racks. There bars are thick though.. they don't have any normal sized bars, it seems all of them are thick. They have two bench presses but they have a split in the bench so the head piece can move around (idk why the split is there though since it is unmoveable). This is an issue because where the split in the bench is is directly where I like to place my head when benching. So my head sits in a crevice. Nowhere to do rack pulls and I'm not sure if I can use the rack for shrugs as my arms might be too long. Dummbells up to 125. And then just basic pulley machines and then rip offs of the hammer strength machines and all those other things I don't use. Also has a nice looking leg press and hyper extension area. That's the basics of what they have. I'm not a morning person and I like to eat a few times before lifting so I don't think I'll ever lift in the morning so I'll have to do it after work. The only real issue with this is if I have a long day at work, and the gym closes early on weekends (I usually work weekends). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The calves... my bad :/ I agree that after all that biking and time off two reps is no loss at all! You'll bounce back in no time, and it might even have been a good thing in the long run.

dpc Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 8/13/13 crap workout... i have to fly out to oregon for a wedding today so i woke up and wetn to the gym. i hate going ot hte gym right after waking up and only eating breakfast. plus i had a crap dinner last night so i had no energy. i had to do both squat and bench for my 3 week today and i only got past the 2nd working set on both. didnt even try the final sets. im sure i could do the bench if i actually trained like normal but my squat is crap right now from all this biking. going to oregon now and will be back late this week.

I feel this was my first real squat workout since moving here. I'm not going to bump my numbers up this upcoming month. leg press 1 platex5 2 platesx5 3 platesx5x3 3 sets of 15 bodyweight calf raises abs Tough day but once again felt like this was my first real leg day since moving here. Things should be better from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
