WEEK OF JUNE 17TH, 2002
Well, this was another good week in the books. We changed up the
exercises again and
maybe added a new training method to fusion training. The MPO method is
tough on the
bench, I ended up doing 315 for 3 on the last set. I'll try to go up on
all four sets
by 10 pounds this monday. Jon did the same with 265, so I'll go up on him
as well.
We went back to DB bench press and for the first time I did 135 for two
sets, one
set at five and the following at six. Jon did 115(the most I've seen him
do) and
did both sets at six reps...I think he's ready for 125s if the 120s aren't
there.
Shoulders went ok, but my shoulder have more strength than size. I tried
to do
shoulder press (dumbbells) super-slow but after barbell shoulder presses,
they weren't
easy. 70's made me look weak, but you try it and you'll see what I mean.
Jon
was feeling the same on shoulder (I envy his shoulders, though).
On Tuesday, Rack Deadlifts were actually challenging for me. I did up to
645 for 3
reps(using the MPO method) and Jon did impressively good at 355 for 3 reps
on his
final set. My sets went like this..595-605-635-645 and Jon's was
at..295-305-315-355.
After we worked back, we went to traps and did 50-reps on Barbell Shrugs
and then
50-reps on DB shrugs. My traps were sore!!
Arms were up on Thursday and first up were DB curls(heavy) followed by
preacher
curls(with the preacher bench up high!). After preacher curls, my arms
were
screaming and then did 100-rep concentration curls. WOW!!! Then we did
close-grip bench press using a new method--Blitz-Pump method. Lets just
say that
after we did these, Jon's face was turning red(and it takes a lot do that
do him!!)
and after seeing that, I know that's what I needed for my bench press.
After we
annihilated my tris', we went to forearms. Used the Blitz-Pump method on
Hammer
Curls(alternating) and those did the same damage close-grip bench press
did on our
triceps. Then Friday, we did bench press for 3 sets of 15 to start out
with and then
did the Blitz-Pump Method on Squats. Just so you all know what that is,
you start
your first set doing 15 reps, second set at 10 reps, but increasing the
weight by
10lbs., third set at 15 reps, decreasing the weight by 20lbs., then the
fourth set
at 20 reps, decreasing the weight 10lbs. more. Me and Jon were both doing
great(because
we both were sweating).
Leg Press were done super-slow and me and Jon did
them really
deep on them. Finished the quads off with 50-rep hack squats. Then we
did high-rep
leg curls and calf raises and were finished. This was a good week
considering that
I'm off this weekend for the first time since I've started my new job.
I've also
got my nitro-tech, cell-tech, and hydroxycut friday and will start using
them
on monday. Here's how my supplement schedule will work out like this:
MORNING: Nitro-tech , Cell-tech and Hydroxycut
AFTERNOON (before workout): Nitro-tech and Hydroxycut
AFTERNOON (after workout): Cell-tech
EVENING: Nitro-tech
This will change later to something like this:
MORNING: Nitro-tech, Cell-tech, and Hydroxycut
AFTERNOON (before workout): Nitrotech and Hydroxycut
EVENING: Nitrotech
I'll stick with this for about eight weeks and see what happens. If
everything works
out, I might be gettin a bigger bench. Well, if you have any questions,

honor"
