WEEK OF JUNE 24TH, 2002
Well, this is my first offical week on my "super" stack. If you just now reading my
training progress, I'm currently taking Cell-tech, Nitro-tech, Hydroxycut, and
Amino Acids(during the workout). For the first week on this stack I've been stronger
than normal. On Monday, I did 335 for 3 reps, 10 pounds up from last week doing 325
for 3. And I also couldn't believe how strong I got 335. Jon went up as well doing
275 for 3 reps, 10 pounds up from last week. The DB bench press is what surprised me
the most out of the workout.
Jon attempted 135 on the DBs but it was no go. A lot
of the DBs are broken between the 120s and the 130s, so this kind of cheats Jon,
which I don't like. He did the 115s with ease on the DB bench press for 6 reps
on both sets. I however, went to doing 135s for 6 reps on the DBs and felt I had
a lot more. So I went up to 140s and did 6 reps there as well. I'm itching to do
145s and 150s this Monday, weights no one could touch on DB bench press...stay tuned.
Jon got a crick in his neck from behind-the-neck shoulder presses when we were doing
them slow, so we may switch to fronts this monday.
But after we did those slow, we
went to DB should press and used once again..the blitz-pump method to get our shoulders
pumped. Then we finished off the workout with lateral raises and abs. Tuesday, I
was flying solo. Everything in the workout was feeling strong. I did 6 plates(3 per
side) on the hammer strength pulldowns and my lats are sore from it doing the
maximum pump method(5 sets of 8-10). The Rack DLs really pumped me up. I did
up to 665 for 3 reps!!
My strength had already begun to skyrocket! Thursdays and
Fridays workouts weren't as efficient as the other two days because we had people
working out with us(talking was slowing us down as well, and I wanted to work!!)
DB curls got heavy on Jon when he hit 70s for 3 reps and I did up to 80s for 3 reps
and I was once again shocked to see this. I'm itching to hit 85s and 90s in the
next few weeks.
Then it was preacher curls with me and Jon going neck and neck on
them. He managed to pull off 5 sets of 10 reps, where I was staying between 8-10 reps
on the five sets. After 100-reps on concentration curls, we went to close-grip bench
press doing the same thing we did last week on them...blitz-pump method. But
it wasn't as effective as last week because there three other guys including Jon
working out and talking at the same time.
I was pretty pissed throughout this whole
workout, but calmed down afterwards. I may want to just keep it me and Jon since
we go through this workout efficently together. We had to skip rope kickback(really
wanted to do those) but because of all the talking my "guest" partners(not Jon) we
had to pass on it. We did Pushdowns for 100-reps and did Hammer Curls doing the
blitz-pump method and hit abs afterwards. Friday was a little better with an
additional third training partner again up til Squats. On Squats, me and Jon
did very well.
I had done two sets of 6 reps with 515 and Jon did 355 for the same.
We wrapped our knees on squats this week. Then it was leg press doing the MPO
method. We ended pushing each other to go deep on leg press. I finished with 20
plates(10 per side) with an additional 45lbs. DBs in the hatch for 3 deep reps
screaming!! Jon did 16 plates (8 plates per side) for 3 deep reps which I was
impressed with. We did standing leg curls for 50-reps and seated calf raises for
100-reps. I did 4 plates and Jon did 3 plates and later did 3 plates and a quarter
before completing his 100.
My calves are not sore, but are weak. All in all,
this weeks workout was great. My strength had begun to skyrocket and yes I stayed
on top of my supplements this week. Next week, I'll be taking Cell-tech after
the workout and Nitro-tech twice a day(once a day on the weekends). Hydroxycut
is going to be bumped up to 4 caps a day(2 in the morning and 2 before working out).
As for my amino acids, I've been taking one cap in between sets in my workout(
not during the warmups).
Just so you guys know, my bodyweight has bumped up to
245 this week. That's 5lbs from my norm and I'm excited about it. Also, I'm going
to be creating a Fusion Bench program later this summer just in time for the
football season, so stay tuned. Well, that's it for this week. I hope you all
are training hard and heavy. Stay big!!
