Nice workouts YB. Do you take your meals to work? That really helps me get in the quality calories I need.

I work in grocery stores for a living, so it's kind of a yes/no answer. Basically, whenever I'm hungry I just buy something like cottage cheese, a chicken from the deli or similar. My problem, is that I like to get done, and I need to slow down instead of wanting to get done and foregoing my food. But there is also the factor that money is tight right now, so I can't exactly go out and buy a whole lot of food.

Arms were on schedule today. My partner was in a foul mood, as he didn't sleep well nor did he go to bed at a decent time. Not my fault by any means. Then, as the last compound sets were getting underway, a song came over the radio that reminded him of his recently deceased father, and he had to leave the gym in order to not break down. So, he sort of brought my workout down a notch this morning.
Compound Sets...
Skullcrushers: 90x8x5
Machine Preacher Curls: 70x8x5
Just going for a pump here. The gym was cold as can be, with me wearing 3 layers to stay warm. Plus, I was just going light, to save my elbow. It's odd on how it acts up. Skullcrushers with DB's hurt it, but not a BB.
Compound Set....
Pressdowns: 115x10x5
St. Alt. DB Curls: 45x8x5
Good sets here, though I was actually getting winded while doing the curls. Odd, but I'm a man. I took it well. :-P
Compound Set...
Overhead Cable Xtensions: 100x10, 120x10x2
One Arm DB Spider Curls: 30x8x3
This is where my partner bailed briefly. Oh well, I figure it's okay for him to do so. I thought he would do it during legs though! ;D Packed up and headed home. Now time for a nap. #bsleepingsmiley4vu#

I was in a rush today. I had 2 more stores to finish, more than usual, and the gym closes at 2pm on Saturday. I never go on Saturday either, so that added to my rush. I ended up having to quite early, about 2 exercises shy of my full workout, but it was probably for the better, as you may read (or if you click "back" you won't read it!)... Hack Squats (Platz Style): 225x8x3 Nice weight, stretch and feel here. I had the gym owner standing right there, and I was worried she would mention something about my lack of form here. But, she didn't, probably just did this as I was in the middle of my set. Keiser Leg Xtensions: 100x10 110x10 135x10 I liked these, normally I use only one leg, but did two for a change of pace. I don't care or even see much results from using a Leg X machine, but it certainly gives you a distinct feel in your legs that no other move will give you. Squats: 225x9x2 I wanted to use more weight, and could have. I also wanted more reps (at least 10) but I had to use caution in regards to both, for one reason; my pre-workout leftover pizza from last night was just "begging" to come up!!! #pukeb9vn# Lying Keiser Leg Curls One Leg: 100x8 110x8x2 Nice sets. Keiser Std Calf Raise: 250+x10x3 The readout screen was going whopperjod on me, so I'm not sure exactly how much weight I was using. But it was good enough for me, being in the hurry I was in. Cybex Calf Press: 160x8x3 Love this machine. I didn't do my seated leg curls, nor did I do my SLDL's, due to my time restraints.

Oh yeah....
My workout partner called me early today, prior to my workout, and said he's no longer going to be training legs with me. Feels riding his bike is sufficient enough for what he wants his legs to look like. Oh well, no big loss on leg day, he hinders me more than helps me. I like a good hardcore leg workout, and he hates the feeling of getting up off the couch because his legs "just blow up!"

Last night was a bit rough for me. I ended seeing the pizza about 4 hours later. Not sure, but I think it was food poisoning, though I felt fine the night before, when I ate the first part of the pizza. I only ate a few times yesterday due to the way I was feeling. Oh well, I'm just trying to get better for the show I have to play tonight. I get tomorrow off, so I'll be able to recoup (though working 2.5hrs today will allow me to do that today as well). Vomiting sucks, but damn it allows you to feel better than what you felt at the moment!!!

I'm still not 100%. Last night I went out and ate a decent sized meal, not exactly the healthiest prep (breaded chicken at the Cheesecake Factory, followed by desert) followed with some minor alcohol, and I had very little trouble. Today, I ate a small breakfast-thinking last night that I'm back to normal- and I've been feeling horrible all day. I'm still training, and I'll enter yesterdays workout below, and another post for todays workout. The workouts are great, though I feel mentally tired. Physically I'm doing well, but mentally I'm just damn tired. In this new year, I think I'm going to go to the doctors and get some blood work done, and make sure that everything is on the up and up. Haven't done so in awhile, and it's probably a good idea to check, with all the meat I eat (and I loves me some red meat!).
Incline DB Press:
90x8x3
I didn't think I was going to be approaching this weight, but found even though I feel like crap, I can still lift pretty strong.
Flat BB BP:
185x8 205x8x2
Again, surprised at my weight considering how I feel and the lack of food the day before (a few soup crackers and a glass of OJ...maybe 300 calories for the day?).
HS Wide Grip Chest:
315x10 365x10
HS Low Row Shrugs:
275x8x2
Keiser Military Press Shrugs:
200x8 315x8
These are done standing on a Military Press seat, and using it like a Barbell. These were great too! They used to have a machine I could do these on, but when they got rid of it, I forgot about the movement. Now, I'll be using this a lot on trap day.

HS Low- Rows 1-arm:
275x10x2 315x12
I was bit*hing about something regarding work, and I got all fired up, hence the reason for such a dramatic increase in weight and reps.
One Arm DB Rows:
100x8x2
Lighter weight= better stretch and feel. It's not always that you much lift the 125's, I said to myself.
Lat Pulldowns (wide-neutral grip):
180x10 200x10x2
I've always loved this grip, really pulls at the top of my lats, and makes me feel like I can fly.
Standing One Arm Laterals:
30x8x3
Nice form here, controlled and "catch the weight" at the top of each rep.
Tri-sets:
Laterals- 15x10, 20x10 Arnold Press- 15x10, 20x10 Front Raise-15x8, 20x8
My arms were smoked, but I was also feeling like I was about to puke (from the food poisoning, not the workout). So, I called it a day, came home and have been feeling odd all day. Tomorrow is my day off from work and the gym, we'll see how I feel and whether I skip a day of training or not. I know I won't be eating too much food in the coming days...

Yesterdays workout:
Alternating Sets....
Keiser Parallel Dips: 315x8x2, 275x12x3 St. BB Curls: 115x8, 95x10x4
I started off with weight I normally do, but due to the heavy breathing, I decided that I'd rather not puke all over the gym. I lightened up, and still had some minor stomach discomfort, but made it through the workout.
Alternating Sets....
One Arm Rev Pushdowns: 50x12x5 One Arm Cross Body Cable Curls: 40x8x5
These felt good, really made the workout go by fast too; alternating back and forth and using one arm movements that is.
Alternating Sets...
One Arm Machine Preacher Curls: 45x10x3 One Arm Cross Face DB Extensions: 15x8x3
Elbow didn't like these, hence the light weight, but I probably shouldn't have done them at all.

Bodymasters Squat Machine: 225x10x2
Std. Leg Curls: 245x8x3

Damned impressive training,especially under the circumstances.
Milos doesn`t train heavy per se`.but gets results bigtime.......I`m referring to your comments about DB Rows,and I agree wholeheartedly.
Sometimes quality over quantity poundagewise is much better for hypertrophy.

Today was shock day, I was feeling about 98% back to normal, and also wanted to give my possible new every day training a go.... Giant Set... High-Incline Smith Press: 135x10x2 (two second pause on chest) Flat DB Flyes: 40x10x2 (again pause in stretch position) HS Wide Grip Chest One Arm: 185x10x2 (no pause) Low Incline Cable Flyes: 15x10x2 (two second pause again) Flat DB Press: 60x10, 60x6 Wow, my partner was falling off the bench after his sets! I enjoyed this actually. The weight was very light, yet the muscle contraction, and the pump was insane. I felt kind of odd holding 60lb DB's and struggling with them for 10 reps. Normally that's my second warm-up. But I know my joints will love me for it. Superset/Rest-Pause: Incline Bench Press: 185x8, AMAP thereafter, and strip to 135xAMAP, and a few rest-pause "sets/reps" after that. HS Flat Bench:135xAMAP.... I just threw this together at the last minute. I loved this. Two rest-pause sets, a drop set, and a superset of the two to boot. This was intense. HS Low Row Shrugs: 225x10x2 Good stretch, I felt like I was wearing a backpack my traps were so pumped. Keiser Military Press Shrugs: 225x10x2 These are the best! I love the stretch, contraction, and the grip test I get from these. I ate some food, curious as to whether I would have any trouble, and as of yet- 4-5 later- I have none. I'm feeling good right now. Thank you Jeebus!!!! ;D
