___________________________________
now geared up since i rarely feel real hardcore soarness, ill sometimes work a weak area or preffered area like bis or tris right behind something else depending. have muscle groups singled out gives me room to add this or that.. depending how im feeling or if its been 3-4 days since a certain group where adding a bit making it 2x weekly wont hurt
Sunday , i alternate weekly ,but either start with flat BB bench, or Smith machine incline. I always start with the compound movements before isolation , except on squat days. Ill do 1 warm up and 4 working sets. of 8-12 . I push myself where the last few reps arent easy, but obtainable without extra unnecessary movement.. I have a watch that i keep track of my rest time inbetween sets. then i move to machine flys or db flys, pec deck, cable crossover chest flys etc. 4 sets of each sometimes supered .. not at max capacity i like to get 15-20 reps on a tad lighter weight and feel the muscle contract, and ive listened up here on MESO and time under tension so on cables i nver let that weight touch the stack. Ill finish my chest off on the hammer streght incline press , and hammer bench press machine. Love using them pre exhausted at the end. super pump.
Mon arms . Rotate which i start first , bis or tris. Tris are the primary focus so often ill start tris first, and lead off with weighted dips, and close grip bench. I try to go to exhaustion right of the gate with these two workouts. for tris then i proceed, to cable pushdowns, kickbacks, or cable overhead tri extensions. I also group these isolations with lat bar tricep pull downs. sometimes sub skull crushers in ,and hammer strengh tri machine in. Bicep i always warm up on the hammer strenght preacher curl machine both hands 4-5 sets supered with vbar cable curls . Then i do 4 working sets of hammer curls starting with 25s working up to 65s dbs. Then i either do inclined db curls , single arms db curls with elbow on inner thigh, or single handed db curl of the preacher curl platform. Often will superset with ezcurl bar curls from 70-110 pounds for reps of 8-12 .
Then i change focus to forearms, supination movements with 10-15 dbs, and forearm raises in 3 directions, supered with BB forearm raises from behind the back. finish with farmer walks around the building with dbs , around 70s
Tues Quads Ham
pre exhaust , i do 4 working sets of leg extension, standing ham curls, and hip aductors both ways. all supered together. by then im ripping off my sweats, and off to the cage to squat. 4 -5 sets till im woobly. today i worked from 135 up to 285 for reps of 8-12 . Then i leg pressed, not alot but up to around 500 for 4 sets of 15. Then hammer strengh seated press for 5 sets of 15 , 60 sec rest, and right into a db platform stepup. followed by 36 min of cardio today (finishing all lifts with 20-30 plus min of cardio)
Wed Shoulders..
always start with Smith Machine shoulder press. I could lead with db military presses or bb , but i feel much better control and contraction with the smith, just me. 4 working sets. If i got spunk i go right into a push press with 135, if not ill do 4 sets with 115. Then latteral front raises, cable crossover rear delts , hammer streght latteral raise, and then hammer streght shoulder press to finish . i lied, shrugs to finish i use dbs usually . ..
Thur low back, abs , calfs, I went over the hypers, reverse hypers, and crunches above, but i then work the calfs, with the seated calf press, supered with smith machine calf presses with moderate to heavy weight 400-500 plus. its my weak spot so i tend to work the fuck out my calfs. . then i go into using the upright seated leg press machine placing toes at bottom and do reps of 30-40 5 sets on my calfs till they burn so bad i cannot stand it.
Fri Back
Lat pulldown to the front, 4 working sets, and reps of 12, then i lower weight immediatly and do reps of 8-12 to the back .
4 working sets of seated low row with close grip.
hammer strengh row machine 4 sets, supered with reverse grip lat pulldown machine.
Then db rows, heavy sometimes wearing a lifting strap if im exhausted and my lats are full of blood already.
bent over rows to my waist , with emphasis on my lats contraction. 3 sets
usually at this point im fried, but if i have the energy i use a rubberband a do 4 sets of pullups wide grip all emphasis on my back contraction.
this is most of my stuff. i switch things for this or that, and ususally work in the 8-12 range. .. however i like light high reps for isolation. I think my physique needs a lot of work.. shit seems to come together slow as fuck in this muscle building world we live in. However i am one of the bigger dudes at my gym but it isnt saying much cause my gym doesnt have alot of bber types. next year ill be at my college gym , and the level of ripped people will increase dramatically , and better machine IMO .. all that damn funding for the athletic programs and all.. My goal is to be FUCKING HUGE !!!!
