So being back in my home gym is great I am missing a few pieces of equipment I liked at the gym I spent the last 5 months in. Basically like for chest today I had to go back to either DB decline press or BB decline press instead of the HS plate loaded decline press which I fell in love with. Anyways here is today's chest workout.

Decline BB press- 225x8 225x8 225x8
HS machine press(plate load)- 90x9 90x9 90x8
BB incline press- 175x12 175x12 175x10
Pec deck flye- 175x12 175x12 175x12 (I've been focusing mainly on the squeeze at the end of the contraction so I haven't upped to a higher weight yet but will next workout)

I also did 25mins on the stepmill on interval setting at lvl.6
 
A home gym is pretty cool -- no stinky guys there who squat the machine that you need!

Great job dieviolent.

Hahaha I do have one of those too but I meant my favorite gym which is a Gold's. Here I can do anything because it's a real gym unlike the place I was at where dropping deads the last few inches is a no no.
 
I'll tell ya what absolutely shredded mine a couple weeks ago...

We did everything in reverse. You know you ussually start out wheavy, maybe 5 sets of 5 on bench, move to incline DB or something for 8 or 10s, then finish on cable flys for 20s? We did 4 sets of 20 cable flys, then 5 sets of 10 incline DB, then 5x5 flat bench with normal weight, adding a rest pause at the bottom. Didnt make it to 5 on set #3. Holy shit I couldnt move my arms for a couple of days. Same weight, same volume, different order.

Pull upx40- 16 12 9 3

4/24/13 shoulder workout.

Today was weak. I was tired and barely nourished before heading in and on top of that I skipped a shoulder and arm day during my 3 day road trip back to mass so I know that made me feel weaker. I changed up my order of exercises because I felt it would be ok seeing as how I have done the 4 week reverse method a few times around. I also went with DB shoulder presses over my normal smith machine shoulder press. Anyways here is my workout from today.

DB shoulder press- 65x12 70x10 70x10
Upright row- 125x9 125x9 115x10 (these became cheat reps the last 2 or so on the first 2 sets so I opted to drop weight and get cleaner ones out)
DB lateral raise- 35x9 35x9 35x9
DB incline lateral raise- 30x9 30x9 30x9
DB bent over lateral raise- 30x10 30x10 30x9

Barely nourished? What happened? You need to feed those muscles of yours ;)

It was a training session right in the morning so I didn't have an opportunity to have eaten more than my preworkout shake. I noticed if I train without breakfast and sometimes even lunch I don't feel "fueled" enough and my workout suffers slightly.
 
That makes sense.
I feel pretty weak when I hit the gym in the early morning because I don't have time to eat anything (I drink my orange juice and go).

Yea I drink a shake or eat around 40g of protein about 30min before I workout but like I said if I haven't had many meals my body just doesn't feel primed. Also yesterday was an off day and I should be going in to do arms unless something comes up.

:sulk: I've been doing alot of work around my house for spring. I decided to take a full week off training to relax and let my body catch up. My diet has taken a hit as well but hasn't been terrible. I'll be posting back up very soon thanks for the thought MG I appreciate it.
 
I will end up losing minor strength after a full week off but it will do me good in the end. I've been going heavy for 6 months without much for a break.
 
Went in and did a very light chest day starting with decline BB then moved onto flat DB bench and then incline BB with pec deck flyes being last. I didn't keep track because I was just there to stretch my muscles and didn't go heavy at all.
 
Did a lighter shoulder workout today. Still stretching my muscles but planned on being full force the begging of the next week. I'm getting my diet in check again because I let myself go over the last 2 weeks. I'll update later.
 
Got a good stretch and pump in my arms today. Monday should be my blast off day and hitting the weights to my maximum potential.
