185# x7/x7/x7 x 3 sets

Note to self, wear a belt next time, lol. Nonetheless, my legs were torched!

*Not to be a cliché lifter, but I have realized my arms are a weakness of mine, and will begin to focus more on them. Point blank, you just don’t see bodybuilders with mediocre arms. My shoulders overpower mine as is, and while they aren’t too bad at a little over 17 ¼”, that is simply not big enough. My forearms need to come up a long way as well. Consequently, I will be doing a lot more bicep/forearm/tricep work when I can work it in; b/c the only way I can bring them up is to hammer them.

[misterjaydubyoo]

*Forgot to add to 9/18 workout a calve routine I started.

Angled Calf Raise
140# x20 RP x55
*Picked a weight I could get 20 reps with great form....squeeze at peak, and stretch at bottom. Rest paused for 5 seconds and repped out as many as possible. Did this until I reached 75 total reps. Needless to say my calves were locking up and cramping. Extreme pain!

9/20: Upper Power (Week 9)

290/ 468/ 81.5--->3765.5
*didn't get as many CHO as I anticipated


Incline Bench
250# x5
265# x5
280# x5
320# x3 + 1 very slight forced/assisted rep
*most weight I have ever even attempted on incline

BB Rows

235# x5
245# x5
265# x5 PR
*no straps today

275# x5 (all paused)
315# x5 (all paused)
325# x5
335# x5
350# x4 PR (held last rep at peak for 5 sec)
*never went this high on FPs, hence the PR...decided to do these in place of military presses, b/c incline and/or bench for that matter stimulates my anterior deltoids enough as it is, and my shoulders are ahead of my chest

Weighted Chins
bwt + 45# x5x2
bwt+ 25#
*kind of shocked...I died quickly on these, and was pretty weak...probably had something to do with those heavy rows

Wide Grip Lat Pull Downs
200# x5
240# x5
*no straps

DB PJR Pullovers
60# x20
80# x15
100# x12/50# x10
*I think I have found the exercise that is gonna push my guns into growth! I always have a hard time stimulating the long and medial head of the triceps. I was skeptical of these, but due to the intense stretch it places the long head in, the heavy poundages that can be used really hit those fibers....INSANE pump

DB Preacher Curl + Lying Tricep Pushdown
40s x12 x3 + 40# x10x3
*two sets hammer grip on curls...rotated wrist a little differently and got insane pump in forearm as well as long head of bicep...the lying tricep pushdowns were performed slow with a hard squeeze at peak....these also nail the long and medial head


Behind Back BB Wrist Curls
45# x20x5

DB Inside Wrist Curls
5s x20x5

DB Reverse Wrist Curls
5s x20x5

DB Wrist Curls
5s x20x5

DB Wrist Rotation
5s x20x5

*500 total reps for the most brutal, painful experience I have ever had with my forearms. All in all took about 15 minutes. I literally had to have my girlfriend drive home because I couldn't grip anything. These sets were performed with little to no rest, and used the rest pause method. The pump and vascularity I achieved was like never before. I got the basis of this idea from a guy in the gym who has 15.5" inch forearms. He mainly just uses lighter dumbbells and high reps.

makes sense on the forearms, as we are always using them, higher reps is almost a must in order to stimulate them more than we normally do...good works man, also, what is a DB PJR pullover?

Here's a pretty good representation of a PJR pullover. Honestly I have seen them before but was skeptical.

PJR is a great exercise, I refer to them as rolling DB extensions, really stretches/hits the long head.
