Omaha Prep: 11 weeks out

Chest day: Goodlife Fitness in Lincoln, NE.....

For some reason, I did a lot of incline pressing with dumbbells and barbells.

Incline DB Press:
40/20
60/15
80/10
105/8,10

Incline Press:
135/12
185/10
225/10
275/6,4

Machine press:
4 sets (drop set on the last set)
Flyes: 4 sets

Moving right along, but need to push harder. These pics are 228 versus 225. I had about 400 grams of carbs the day before the pics on the right.

Omaha Prep: Closing in

Leg training: 3/12/15

Today was my first attempt EVER at giant sets like Milos Sarcev (albeit with not many exercises).

Superset:
Seated Leg Curl
Leg extension: 4 sets each

Giant set round:
Leg Press
Front squat
Hack Squat: 4 rounds

Single Leg curl: 4 sets

This was challenging for a couple of reasons:

1: Logistics. I train in a campus recreation gym. It's nice and well equipped. However it still gets crowded with students. I train there as I have an extended membership due to my student fees back when I was a student, helped pay for the new weight room

2: Muscle fiber endurance. It's just a weakness, period. I want to be able to hit those DEEP fibers I don't normally get during my standard training.

3: Mental aspect: I need to get more intense during leg training. Not the beat yourself upside the head intense. But a more intrinsic focus, a' la Ed Coan.

225 this morning. So I'm feeling pretty good. Just worried about being in some great condition. Actually sick condition

Omaha Prep: 10 Weeks and Some Change

Let the work continue......

Back Day: 3/3/2015

Chins: 3 sets
Weighted Chins: 2 sets with a 40 lb db

Bent Rows: Six sets working up to two heavy sets of 315 for sets of 5.
One arm rows: three sets
Reverse Grip Pulldowns: 4 sets

Not as much volume as I would've liked, but it got the job done. I've been training six days a week and I have, HAVE, to learn that every session cannot be heavy. I have to really pull back and understand that I need to keep pump days, just that, a form of active recovery. Not a demonic, winner take all session.

10 weeks out on Saturday. These pics are 12 weeks out versus 11. I just added in some hard cardio (steady state) and it seems I'm coming down. So we're gonna keep rolling and see what happens.

I need my fatty belt from Target or Walmart. I like those things.

Brick by Brick, we get better. 

12 weeks versus 11 weeks.

Let the work continue!
