Well, after yesterdays session with the personal trainer.. I realized in order to see results the key is change..
so thats just what I did.. Although, I've only been posting my routine for two weeks now, I've been doing that same routine for almost 4 or 5, or maybe even 6 freaking months.. !!
I didn't want to change up WHAT I was doing, just #/intensity/sets/reps..
Started, with deadlifts.. and after reading an article on how to do them, went as follows
135x10, 3 minutes rest
175x6, 3 minutes rest,
225x1, 1 minute rest
225x1 , after this set, felt a tear or pull in my upper back, but decided to give it one more try and see, (to no avail), 1 minute rest
225x1 , the pain was too intense, so dropped it down, to 175
I knew hte form was terrible, so on leg day going to do both and get them right..
Opposite Incline Rows, 45(and bar)x10, partner goes (and otherwise no rest)
62.5x10
80x8 supersetted w/ 65x8
last set, with SLOW reps, 45x10
Lat Pull Downs, machine w/o free weights..
Behind Head 150x10,3 min rest
Behind head 165x10, 20 second rest, then 150x10 in front of head
180x8 supersetted w/ 165x8 in front of head
finished, with 165x10 in front of head..
After a piss break, 5 minute rest or so, moved onto biceps..
Hammer Dumbell Curls 20'sx15, holding last rep on each arm@ same time
25'sx10, same as last set., tried supersetting w/ 20's for normal curls, but didn't work out too well, got about 3 reps on each arm before dying.
25'sx10, supersetted w/ normal curls w/ 15lb dumbellsx8
after a short rest, did one more set of dumbell curls
20'sx8
Preacher Machine
70lbsx4, partner,
60lbsx6, partner
50x8, partner
40x10, supersetted w/ 50x4
Concentrated Cable Curls, Rt. then Lft.
20lbsx10 Rt. then Lft. Rest
10 short arm wide grip pullups,
supersetted w/ 20lbsx8 Rt then Lft. Rest.
20lbsx10 Rt. then Lft.Rest
5 Rt, then 5 Lft, then 5 rt. and 5 left, in one set.
Had a great pump the entire workout, wonder if thats the creatine, or just the change in workout.. finished off with a mile cooldown,
Pre-7.5 grams creatine mono Post-7.5 grams creatine mono & 2 scoops whey Nitrotech Hardcore..
Nice to know I'm almost done my protein, I think I'm gonna go pick up some On 100% Whey, and give it another go, and try to take it steady. this stuff was terrible (tasting at least)..
That guy really helped us out yesterday, and now know how to plan my workout accordingly... from now on, going to change the reps and sets maybe every 3 weeks.. and see what happens.. because at this point, I'm not really getting sore from what I was doing anymore, and not seeing a change.
btw @ the gym, there was a BF% handheld thinger, it said I was 8.8% bodyfat, as opposed to my originally figured 10-11% body fat.. I konw I didn't get leaner, for a fact, so maybe I was just wrong before?
Oh well, tonight, abs, tomorrow morning, guerilla cardio, and after work tomorrow, shoulders traps.
