Squat- 155x6, 175x6, 185x7, 145x20 (+30lbs)

I think if you can do more than 20 on the widowmaker at a particular weight that day you should be.

I think if you can do more than 20 on the widowmaker at a particular weight that day you should be.

I barely made it to 20. It wasn't because of the weight, it was cause I did so much before that and it just killed me. Next time i was planning on doing 3x6 at 185 if i could, then 145x20 for the widowmaker. or should i do less weight in the main sets and increase the widowmaker? Increasing both isnot an option right now.

Come on man that's the same work out as the other day! You've got to make some sort of progression (couple more reps at same weight or a tiny bit more weight at same or couple less reps) every work out to grow.

So Stud is your chest and bicep actually getting bigger by doing DB Presses and Incline DB Presses? because I don't wanna kill myself doing BB Presses without a spotter. Nice progress btw when you feel like slacking off think of the times when you were made fun of by girls, jocks and bullies! Listening to heavy metal helps too.

 

[reyalp]

Listening to heavy metal helps too.

oh yes. Biohazard, Pantera, Drowning Pool, etc. Good stuff.

Yeah, using dumbbells I think is better because it uses all the stabilizer muscles that using a machine or BB misses. A-Unit had a great post about it a while ago. I wouldn't do BB presses without a spotter because you gotta do near your max to keep growin. It could get real dangerous real fast. Thanks for noticing my progress, I gotta keep consistent with my workouts to keep em comin.

Thanks for the music tips reyalp, I'm just now trying to broaden my music tastes to heavy metal and I'll look into those bands.

 

[reyalp]

Yeah Stud I actually hate heavy metal, but that's all that I have on my MP3 player. It's the best at the gym, that's for sure!

Bad news. Today, while doing my smyth machine press, I was going to hook the bar back on the machine and I kind of used my right arm more than my left, and I heard a kind of ripping/tearing noise in my right neck muscle. I couldnt continue on with my workout and had a tough time turning tot he right on the drive home. I came home, took a muscle relaxer and some advil then went to sleep. I'm still in a lot of pain. This is especially bad for me because I broke my neck about 4 years ago. I am going to go to the ER tom morn if it is not feelin any better. Hopefully I won't be sidelined for too long.

 

[Stud]

Ended up not goin to the ER. Toughed it out. Went back to the gym tonight and let er rip. Feelin pretty good now.

Leg day - where it's at! Ever try stiff-leg deadlifts for hamstrings? In my experience that movement blows away the curl.

 

[Stud]

yeah i've thought about givin it a shot, but after seein the video's of how its done, I'm worried about the extra pressure it puts on your neck. It looks almost painful and like I said i broke my neck and i gotta be careful.

You should be able to do more on dead lift than squatsI can only auat about 225 but I can deadlift 315. Just throw more and more weight on untill you cant do it. And use all the strength you have. I had no idea I could do that much on deads but I tried and was able to.
