MAX-OT Week 5

Jun 3

I didn't lift today b/c I went out w/ my friend's in town. I don't think lifting should take away time w/ my friends.

MAX-OT Week 5

Jun 4

I didn't lift today either b/c I've been packing my suitcases.

Are you taking a trip?

Nah. He's just practicing in case a trip happens...

Wow, did you get an excuse a day calender P-Jock?

'I didn't work out today because of XXXXX'



Paul

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.........................................

Yes, I am actually in PA now. That's why I was packing. I live w/ my mom on a military base in AZ, and I visit my dad in PA four times a year. I say I'm from PA b/c I move around a lot in the military. Don't worry, I'll start working out again tomorrow.

Okay. Rock on dude.

Well, I'm at my dad's and I'm lifting at a home gym so I modified a few things. I don't have a V-bar so I'm using this handle thing. I don't have a hyper extension so I'm diong Good Mornings instead. Most of the weights are lower because these weights are heavier than the others for some reason. They are Weider brand.

MAX-OT Week 6

Jun 9

Warmups

Squats -- 133x8, 155x6, 177x4, 199x2

Working Sets

Squats -- 210x6, 210x5, 210x4, 210x4

SLDL -- 225x6, 245x4
Standing Calf Raises -- 245x6, 245x6, 245x6

My weights here are in kilos so I got the closest to whati could for warmups. I did 3 sets of standing calf raises b/c I don't have a leg press or seated calf raise. So I have to do standing calf raises w/ free weights. Gosh, that bar hurts my shoulders

Gosh, that bar hurts my shoulders

Can you place it any lower? Have the rear delts support the bar? When the traps support the bar, it's soft tissue. Ends up hurting big time. But when you get it lower, if you can, it really makes a difference.

I used to need the pad or manta ray or towel to squat. Now I can do the bar and it feels just fine. But my rear delts end up supporting it.

I have it resting on my rear delts when I squat. But when I do standing calf raises, it'll fall off if it's not on my traps. I don't know why. It could be b/c of the way I stand.
