Plans for 14 April 2008

Chest
BB bench press (flat, incline, decline)
DB bench press (flat)
Chest dips
Cable standing fly
DB pullover

I'm thinking that my chest need to increase in size first before worrying about the rest. Flat benching is still going to be my priority. Going to hit max weight with BB before going for lighter weights with DB. Same with dips before going into cable fly (before this I'll start from the lightest to the heaviest weight again whenever I switch to another exercise. trying to simulate darklight's method tongue.gif )

Biceps
DB curl (warm up)
BB preachers curl
Hammer curl
BB curl
Cable curl

Similarly, BB preachers to max before waning in hammer since both targets brachialis and brachioradialis, BB curl to cable for biceps. I'm still contemplating whether to continue with the wide, normal and narrow grip for BB curl, but I'll let tomorrow decide it for me.

p.s. legs are slightly sore from the BHPetrol Orange Run + PWTC book fair "marathon" biggrin.gif

Actual workout on 14 April 2008 (day 1)
Chest
BB bench press (flat)
1 x 12 x bar (warm-up)
1 x 12 x 25kg
1 x 10 x 35kg
1 x 10 x 45kg
1 x 6 x 55kg
1 x 10 x 45kg
1 x 10 x 35kg

BB bench press (incline)
1 x 12 x 25kg
1 x 10 x 35kg
3 x 6 x 45kg

BB bench press (decline)
1 x 12 x 25kg
1 x 10 x 35kg
3 x 6 x 45kg

Cable standing fly
1 x 12 x 10lb (per hand)
1 x 10 x 20lb
3 x 10 x 30lb (I started to cheat with 40lb, so I decided to maintain with 30lb instead)

DB pullover
1 x 12 x 25lb
1 x 10 x 30lb
1 x 10 x 35lb
1 x 6 x 40lb

BB curl (normal grip = shoulder width)
1 x 12 x 10kg (warm-up)
1 x 10 x 15kg
1 x 10 x 20kg
1 x 10 x 25kg
1 x 6 x 30kg

Hammer curl
1 x 12 x 25lb (per hand)
1 x 10 x 30lb
1 x 10 x 35lb
1 x 6 x 40lb

There were too many people in the gym today, so I had to limit my number of workouts. Decided to go for more sets instead of the normal 3 to 4 sets. Also pushing for heavier weights as shown with those sets having only 6 reps.

I've added a scoop of whey, only to my horror that I don't have much left in both my tubs! Hopefully it can last me till next week...


Plans for 15 April 2008
Shoulder
BB shoulder press
DB lateral raise
BB upright row
Seated rear lateral raise
Cable front lateral raise

Triceps
Triceps dip
BB triceps extension / skull crusher
Cable pushdown

Decided to focus more on the lateral deltoids. Also omitted BB shrug from my list, thus giving me more time to do other workouts.

p.s. I'm wondering how on earth I'm going to go to the gym tomorrow. Just send my car to the mechanic to replace the power steering rack and have a look at my speedometer. Might have to jog half marathon (to and fro)... Anyone interested to join?

Actual workout on 15 April 2008 (day 2)
Shoulder
BB shoulder press
1 x 12 x 10kg (warm-up)
1 x 10 x 20kg
1 x 10 x 30kg
1 x 6 x 35kg
2 x 10 x 25kg

BB upright row
1 x 12 x 10kg
1 x 10 x 20kg
1 x 10 x 30kg
1 x 6 x 35kg
2 x 10 x 30kg

Seated rear lateral raise
1 x 12 x 10kg
1 x 10 x 30kg
1 x 10 x 50kg
1 x 6 x 60kg
2 x 10 x 50kg

Cable front lateral raise
1 x 12 x 10lb (per hand)
1 x 10 x 20lb
1 x 10 x 30lb
1 x 6 x 40lb
3 x 10 x 30lb

Triceps
Triceps dip
3 x 12 x BW

Skull crusher
1 x 10 x 10kg
1 x 10 x 15kg
1 x 10 x 20kg
1 x 6 x 25kg
2 x 10 x 20kg

Cable pushdown
1 x 10 x 40lb
1 x 10 x 70lb
3 x 10 x 100lb
1 x 6 x 110lb

I think I was using my back muscles as well for the seated lateral raise. May have to switch to DB or cable in the next shoulder workout. Also considering adding weights next time I do triceps dip. Almost got my skull crushed for real when I was doing 25kg... surprisingly the subsequent 2 sets of 20kg appeared lighter than the earlier set of 20kg. I wonder why...

Plans for 16 April 2008
Back
Wide grip chin up
Wide grip cable pull down
Seated row
Shrug

Waist
Vertical leg raise
Incline sit up
DB side bend

Looks like a lot of work tomorrow. If you are wondering how I go to the gym today, I hijacked borrowed the car from mum biggrin.gif

thanks, but i did it with some help. i was on hydroxycut, a thermogenic, last december. after one month, my weight dropped from 72kg to 65kg but gained 2kg after chinese new year.

recently, i bought ergolean amp 2. was on it for 2 weeks before i took the above shots and realised that i do not actually need the thermogenics. talk about weight obsessions (i think i am at risk of developing anorexia blink.gif touch wood)

Actual workout on 16 April 2008 (day 3)
Back
Wide grip chin up
1 x 10 x BW
1 x 6 x BW

Wide grip cable pull down
1 x 12 x 50lb
1 x 10 x 70lb
1 x 10 x 90lb
1 x 10 x 110lb
1 x 6 x 130lb
2 x 10 x 100lb

Seated row (wide grip)
1 x 12 x 20kg
1 x 10 x 40kg
1 x 10 x 60kg
1 x 6 x 70kg (unable to complete full ROM on all reps, sigh)
2 x 10 x 50kg

Seated row (narrow grip)
1 x 12 x 20kg
1 x 10 x 40kg
2 x 10 x 50kg
2 x 10 x 60kg

BB shrug (pause for a second)
1 x 12 x 30kg
1 x 10 x 50kg
1 x 6 x 70kg (no pause in between reps)
3 x 10 x 60kg

Waist
Incline sit up
3 x 10 x BW+10kg (normally just BW)

DB side bend
1 x 12 x 30lb (each side)
1 x 10 x 40lb
2 x 10 x 50lb
2 x 8 x 60lb (forearm failing me at this point)

Not the time yet to add weights to my chin up. Could barely finish the last rep in the last set. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the back workout. Waist workout definitely needs more improvement. Missed out on vertical leg raise and incline sit up could use more sets. Tummy oh tummy oh, when are you growing up? whistling.gif

Plans for 17 April 2008
Chest and biceps. Unable to map my workouts as I'll be joining my friends at FF with a one day pass. Yippee rclxm9.gif

p.s. French Vanilla Crème taste gooooooood....

Plans for 18 April 2008
Similar to those on 14 April 2008, except to add weights for triceps dip. I'm giving seated rear lateral raise another try.

Shoulder
BB shoulder press
1 x 12 x 10kg (warm-up)
2 x 10 x 20kg
3 x 10 x 30kg
1 x 8 x 35kg

BB upright row
1 x 12 x 10kg
2 x 10 x 20kg
2 x 10 x 30kg
1 x 8 x 35kg

Seated rear lateral raise
1 x 12 x 20kg
2 x 10 x 40kg
3 x 10 x 60kg

Cable front lateral raise
1 x 12 x 10lb (per hand)
2 x 10 x 20lb
2 x 10 x 30lb
2 x 10 x 40lb (lots of swinging here sad.gif )

Triceps
Triceps dip
3 x 12 x BW

Skull crusher
1 x 12 x 10kg

2 x 10 x 70lb
2 x 10 x 100lb
2 x 6 x 130lb (ROM about 90 degrees only)

Overall, more sets with heavier weights. I decided to leave my triceps dip at my body weight instead of adding plates in order to push my skull crusher. Did not expect to blast my triceps today since yesterday it was sore

Plans for 19 April 2008
Shopping and carbo-loading for the 10km run on Sunday. Very doubtful I'll hit the gym tomorrow. I'm considering retiring from 10km running awhile to focus on my leg workouts. Later develop "chicken leg", i.e. big upper torso with small legs wink.gif

New PR for all back workouts (except for wide grip chin up) and DB side bend. I think guilt for not working out in the past 2 days did play a role. Or maybe the fact that I've gained 2kg forced me to work harder unconsciously whistling.gif
