Splints voyage to 100kg

splinter · 21-06-2006, 10:11 PM

Right I did chest/biceps/calves today!

And im trying out some different things in my routine now as I have been back to gym for 2 months now and its time for change!

Biceps im increasing the weight a fair bit I must say but not doing as many reps but im not too worried as I do feel like I am getting a good strength surge and im not doing some pansey 2-3 reps more like 5-10.

Worst thing was I wanted to do the bicep curls machine and there is some middle aged-old dude there and im like whilst your resting can we do sets (as you know most people are cool with that and dont mind) this guy has to be troublesome and goes but I just started but im like whilst your resting. So to take the time I go on a leg extension machine then he goes ah fine have the effing thing! I really wanted to deck the bastard I was nice and polite as I always am!!!! Anyways nevermind totally off topic

Chest was descent got some descent flies in kept with 10-12 reps and hit 10 sets and one drop set.
Bench Press
Smith Machine Inline (did the dropset here) I can incline bench more then I can flat bench wierd or what!!
Then I hit some flies I am planning to increase the weightload next week. Gonna do a 5k bump up on db's so to 22.5kg.

Calves were brill im learning so much about them and how to work them properley (i.e. dont need a shit load of weight just a full range of movement -- bah we live and learn

)

Trying out some new hybrid training where I do calf raises then use a plate do some raises on my toes then on my heels did this 3* each no rest- so smith raise then right onto plate to do both exercises.

Looking to the future!!
Im hoping for the Download festival next year (june) I can be at the end of my cut then so I look superb in a tank and I can the tattoo I really want on my back (need big ass lats first). And im picturing myself at about 82kg cut with 10% bf.

Im upto 75kg at the moment so 5kg gain with half assed dieting which aint too bad imo!!

Did a bit of posing to see how my body is shaping up and here's how im rating it at the moment!
Chest - Size is coming on but bit of gyno

Biceps - 14 inches at the moment and shaping up (pleased)
Triceps - most improved area and at certain angles look great.

All credit goes to close-grip bench press and rope pulldown routine its the dogs bollocks!
Traps - Upper its coming back, middle getting more and more defined, lower lower bit starting to appear more with right poses.
Shoulders - ohh baby liking these
Quadriceps - Good size and shaping
Hamstrings - muscle starting to grow on inner bits which I am happy with
Calves - Big but lots of fat around that lower area.
Wrists - I do pretty much f*all for these but they are improving with bicep curls when I get that burn.
Abs - Dont really work them and im bulking so im a little fat down there.

Right thats me over! Back to work!

Right I missed training yesterday due to the fact that I was up for like 40 hours because I had 2 assignments due on the same day so I missed training but I did get some sleep 16 hours..

So to make up im doing Gary's Routine for 2 days.

Was pretty good tbh and I have changed just calf raises to hybrid training instead as I think its just better for calves as they have to be hit differently then the rest of the body.

No heavy lifts really as the weight goes downward to that really slow set (which ****ing kill at 50% of the weight off, wtf? who knew tol... works though!

Im gonna change my diet for 2 weeks to no carbs pretty much and I am going to do training 3 days a week 2 days just being cardio, the cut will be over on 3rd of july as thats when its my old schools leavers partys (havent seen some of them in 2 years so I gotta show em who's the business!)

Peace

Ok training has not been great lately but I have been rather busy partying and just having fun! (Gimme a break I just graduated from college) and no one has any stress anymore. So im having my fun. The chicks love feeling my arms and hell even the guys lol!!

Im still doing garys routine and I am making some nice strength gains I must say so I am going to continue doing it.

Diet mainly consists of veggies and healthy foods as I am drinking alot so I kind of want to balance shit out.

And I have switched to soy milk!

Peace
Robbie

I AM GOING GYM NOW TO CATCH UP!

crazycal1 · 10-07-2006, 03:41 PM

didnt realise you were doing garrys routine 8)
did something similar last year and it worked well.
nothing wrong with a full body routine at all!
cool!

splinter · 10-07-2006, 05:58 PM

Yeah I have been doing it for a few weeks. I like the strength gains.

I overtrained shoulders though today as I did barbell presses then I forgot that I did them and went and did dumbbell shoulder presses. This ended up affecting my tricep exercise and I was unable to even do a 3rd set as it just hurt to much (listen to the body know when to stop).

This week I am going to chill out a bit let me body recover and train and get into a good sleep pattern.

Peace

Good to see you dropping by Rob, hope you have a wicked time at uni

splinter · 23-10-2006, 04:23 PM

Stepped on some scales the other day and it said 80kg.

Not bad me thinks considering lack of training and good dieting! Probs mostly bodyfat but doesn't seem to look it that much though!

Will keep updated

Peace

Right im weighing in at 77kg now!

As you already know I been pretty slack with my training!

Far too much drinking etc...

Thats why march is my no drink month... doing milk thistle to celan my liver as it happens as well!

Hit chest/bi's last night! (Bench is dreadful now.... I reckon it should get up pretty well in about 5-6 weeks time! I reckon its because I haven't worked out shoulders like at all! But biceps were quite good last night! Starting to use cables more.... get good pumps out of them and I tihnk they can be quite effective!

Gonna hit shoulders today as they are well over due a workout! Will do traps as well and some calves!

Ive decided I can only eat when I can and feel like it.... so keeping it clean but not really focusing on cutting and bulking kinda thing!

Anyhoo will try to update more often!
