not really, I mean, all my friends are pretty much in the dorms too... whatever, I'm just bringing the Foreman back. It's not like the R.A's are gonna raid my room looking for a Foreman grill.

Holy [*%#*%*#], I was up til 5 am writing 2 papers and studying for a test, got up at 8 to catch breakfast before class...


I don't know if there's any point in lifting today, or if I even can for that matter, maybe I'll just push everything back a day and go in on Saturday (I usually take the weekend off).

If I do go in today it'll be back/legs.

I know it's unusual, but it isn't a full leg day, it's 5x5 squats, 8,8,6,6,6 legpress, and 4x8 (per leg) high knee lunges.

If I get in I'll post the whole workout, but I think I need a second opinion, should I lift today or just push everything back a day??

Personally, I would shift things and wait until you are well-rested to workout. If you have read OldSchool's sleep articles, you can see how vital sleep is to your training. I hope you catch up on your rest soon! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Nice arm workout there bulldawg. Looks like we have another strong guy on ABC!

[bulldawg]

thanks ******

I'm feeling good right now, if I still feel this good I might at least go in and do back. Otherwise, I'm just going to push everything back a day like I said before... I just hate missing a workout.

Hit the chest today, I don't know why, but I had a pretty bad day.

Maybe I'm still behind in sleep from the other night... Here was my day

Barbell Bench
WARMUP: 135x15, 225x10

275x6
275x6
285x5
295x3
305x2
(Really confused, haven't benched this low in over a month?!?!)

Incline (I have to do low weight here b/c I have messed up shoulders, I'm not even supposed to incline actually)
185x8
185x8
185x8
185x8

Flat DB Bench (this is kinda weird, I usually do 80's 2x8 and 85's 3x6, I was a lot stronger in this exercise for some reason).

80's x 8
85's x 8
90's x 7
95's x 7
100's x 5

Low Pulley Cable Crossovers, 3 sets, can't remember weight
High Pulley Cable Crossovers, 3 sets, don't know weight

Also did some calf work... Kind of a weird workout, had ups and downs. Tomorrow I'll be hitting the legs and back.

Well, this was probably the worst week for me to start a journal, with midterms. My week was horrible. My diet sucked, I've only gotten in two lifts, and I got not nearly enough sleep. Oh well, I'm on my way back home for a week off in about an hour, and then I'll get everything back in order... I'm gonna try out my friends football workout too, see what I think about it, maybe I'll start using it full time until I get mine.

[bulldawg]

Yesterday I did a football specific workout and it was really tough. I would post it, but my friend asked me not to. It felt great to get a good lift in after my crappy week. My diet is back on track too, and I know since midterms are over, I should be good until finals.

Man this workout is hard. It's a lot different than bbing routines, because it's more of a full body workout, and explosive. But I am still dead after.

Also went to GNC and bought some protein and creatine, went with Optimum, seems to be the most highly recommended one around here that they carried.
