    Slingshot Training Daily Log

    Just started my "slingshot training" to get my strength up. Just keeping a daily log here to hold myself accountable. And to track my gains obviously

    7/12/2017 Day 1

    Chest

    BB decline press - 95(10) 115(10) 135(10)
    BB incline press - 95(10) 95(10) 95(10)

    Shoulders

    DB OH shoulder press - 25(10) 25(10) 25(10)
    Lateral raises - 10(10) 10(10)

    Lats

    Wide grip pull down - 85(10) 85(10) 85(10)
    Close grip pull down - 100(10) 100(10)
    BB rows to lower ab - 90(10) 90(10) 90(10)
    BB rows to upper ab - 90(10) 105(10)

    Traps

    Seated DB Shrugs - skipped due to time constraint

    Abs

    Crunches - skipped due to time contraint





    Definitely an intense workout different from most things I've done. I feel I could have gone a bit heavier on some of these exercises but I figure this will be a good baseline for me to go off of.

    Biceps

    Seated DB curls - 25(8) 25(8) 20(8)
    Seated DB hammer curls - 20(8) 20(6)

    Triceps

    Lying tricep extension - 20(7) 20(4/7) 20(5/7)
    Tricep push down - 95(10) 95(10) 95(10)

    Quads

    Squats - 155(10) 155(10) 155(10)
    Deadlift - 185(8)
    Leg press - 385(10) 385(10)

    Hamstrings

    Lying leg curls - 90(10) 90(10) 90(10)

    Calves

    Standing calf raises - skipped due to time constraint







    Hadn't really eaten all day since I was feeling sick but I wanted to get in the gym so this was the outcome. A few things I wanted to take note of:

    My biceps were still really sore from Lats but more than that, they're weaker than I remember

    Lying tricep extensions are extremely fucking difficult with correct form

    I did an extra set of tricep push downs

    And deadlifts are still not a movement of choice for me, but I'm gonna stick with them nonetheless

    Okay so I guess I don't have as many of my workouts saved to my phone notes as I thought I did, so I'm just going to post my most recent workout and continue on from there.

    8/6/17

    Chest

    BB Flat Bench

    45 x 18 (warm up)
    135 x 8
    155 x 6
    165 x 4
    170 x 3

    Tricep Pressdowns

    95 x 15
    125 x 8
    80 x 15
    110 x 8

    DB Incline Press

    45 x 8 (did this more like a db shoulder press, so I dropped the weight to focus on form)
    35 x 8
    35 x 8

    Low cable flyes

    20 x 12
    20 x 12
    20 x 12



    Workout notes:

    Felt really good today, wanted to see where I'm at with flat bench since I haven't done it in several months now. Last time I hit flat was when I was doing 155 for a 5x5 so to hit 170 felt pretty good.

    Triceps are feeling pretty gnarly lately, very happy with the progress.

    I was flaring my elbows out a little far on the incline DB press so I dropped the weight and focused on form. I felt like I was working more chest with less weight which was pretty cool. Definitely got a better feel for the exercise.

    Low cable flyes are foreign to me, so 20lbs was more than enough with strict form and controlled movement. Nonetheless, I would like to use more weight on it in the future.

    And lastly, although the stats for this workout aren't anything crazy, it felt really good. I felt like I could do a lot more but my buddy was feeling rather ill so we decided to dip out early.




    -Question for other members- Should I post pics with these posts?

    Workout Notes:

    Definitely should have eaten more throughout the day, I could feel the lack of energy.

    My biceps are weeeaaaaakkk. Gotta bring those up in the next couple weeks.

    Got some great lat activation on the pull downs.

    Lower back exts. are dope, shrugs are easy, and core is getting stronger.




    Picture attached was taken yesterday morning on no pump with some decent lighting. Feel free to critique and throw me ideas to create a more symmetrical and aesthetic look.

    Stats

    Wanted to max out bench for shits n gigs. Hit 185 easily which was cool. 205 was quite a bit heavier though haha so still got some work to do before I hit 200

    Other than that, a solid workout. Just confirmed I will be moving to another state at the start of 2018 which is exciting. Now that I have a 'deadline' of sorts, the lift goals for 1/1/2018 are:

    BB Flat Bench

    225 x 1
    205 x 3
    185 x 8

    Squat
