First gym session today post acl tear. The awkwardness of going to the gym with crutches and the difficulty of loading a barbell with weights/getting new dumbells after each set was very very discouraging.
Managed a chest session and for the first time I had a spotter (pretty much required for me now) spotting me on the bench press. Needless to say, having only experimented with drop sets and never any forced negative/forced reps... it was painful to say the least.
Did the following:
Flat+Incline Bench Press 5x10/10/8/8/8 (same for incline as well)
Seated Pec Deck 3x12/10/6 (very slow negatives)
Dips 2xfailure
Not the amount of volume that I am used to, nor did I lift as heavy as I would of liked on the lifts purely because I can only bend my left leg as the other has a lovely cast on it making it hard to 'balance', so to speak.
Again, would like to express my thanks to Marcus and everyone else who's active within the thread. Alot of inspiration to be found here and I'm currently on page 40 of the diary. Excellent reading material. Maybe publish a book?

@itsmybody
This is the reclined shoulder press that I'll use facing the incline(so reverse what she's doing in pic) - it's plate loaded and gives you that parallel plane when facing the in... Hits the rears and caps nicely!

This is the closest I can find(it's like a MP) but instead of hitting the front delts hard they'll hit the rears facing in(and if you see a machine that has even more of an decline(when sitting in it regularly then that to will give the same result - as well as any of the Hammer strength machines) and you'll know by feel if you can face in(reverses style or not) hope this helps - if you have any other ?'s I know Hazard uses the hammer strength one as wellLast edited by NACH3; 07-11-2015 at 11:36 AM.

Thanks fellas
I was by far the biggest guy there lol. I wish I coulda done more pull ups but I really didnt train for those.
The mile was hard as shit lololol. I sprinted the last 100 yards or so. There were guys who gave up, some gave up on the pull ups. Everyone was cool tho..... A lot of ex military guys. For the most part they all did well

Legs yesterday
Strecthing
Leg press super set wide to close stance 2 warms, 1 feel, 2 working, one drop. Rep range was 6 wide 3-4 close. Those close were tuff. Inner thighs were killing me. When done with this was already soaked in sweat lol.
Reverse V-SQUAT 1 feel, 2 working 1 drop
Extensions 2 working DD
Curls 2 working 1 drop
Seated calves (also did a few calves on my warm and feel sets on leg press)

Sfla, how do you like the reverse Vs as opposed to reverse hacks?? I like to switch em up maybe every other session... B/c I'll do Vs or Hacks(reverse or reg or both sometimes) - just trying to figure out how to get these legs growing BIGGER! I'm toying w/my rep range(as I've been going heavy for a while now, seeing if certain exercises need slightly higher rep range... Or just keep shocking em(use all rep ranges)... But definitely HIT style...

Honestly nach never did reverse hacks. Think it was u me and haz talking bout them awhile back, and both of you were saying u do hacks. But when we posted the machine it was the vsquat to me lol.
Tell you what I'll try hacks out next week and see how they go.
Marcus always told me vsquat was great for adding size to my legs.
-
Yeah I agree I do love the V Squat & anything that man says I'll listen lol... I've always done my reverse's on hacks(not reverse Vs - but have seen it done more on that machine than the hack) but I'm going to give them a try too! It looks more comfortable too lol - but I'll be throwing them both in there now(this is one of the best parts of this thread - we all help and guide each other) and the amount of exercises is endless

Yup me too - Bio turned me on to them! And they're great - I feel since switching over from reg front raises(which Ill still throw in at the higher rep range) but I feel my shoulders are rounding/and shaping up better!
I really like em too... You try em w/the EZ BAR? I'll use both straight and EZ but the EZ BAR - I seem to have more control(if that makes sense - especially on negative) maybe b/c of my ROM...

Took the little one to a sprinkler park after my fitness test and when I got back I passed the eff out.
All the mental stress of that damn thing is finally gone lol. You guys have no idea how relieved I am. Now I hafta go through a series of interviews and hope I get the scholarship for training.
-
Yeah that mental part is soo draining! I can only imagine how stressful it all can be! I know what Ya mean - no matter how well I know something - sometimes/mostly Im not a good test taker - hate that when you know it & fvk up lol
Best of luck, Haz and you'll be fine! we all(I know I do this) are our own worst critique(especially in this industry) - idk what exactly your talking about(work wise) but it sounds fitness related(obviously) so w/your knowledge in this field being at a super high level - I/we all know you'll be fine!
-
Sure man - I've been suppersetting but not as much(I like cable curls suppersetted w/reverse curls lately - and have been really concentrating on CCs off of the back of an incline - letting Gravity take control of the eccentric pat of lift so it's under tension at all times really!
Lemme know what you'd like to work on and maybe we can both get some ideas - more the merrier lol - plus I want to start working on l the outside part of tri(not the long head(not the triceps bracchi - long head) but I think it's the short head - if holding arm straight out that head lol)... When are you doing arms next? Lemme know what you've been doing - and we'll figure out a good plan of attack!

Hey Sfla,
I've been trying to concentrate on my peaks for bis - and shear size/& thickness for tris and usually the cuts follow)....
BB curls I go a little wider than shoulder width(hits the inside head better(or for you incline DB curls)
CC off back of bench
Preachers(I'll end w/these or CCs
Supperset close grip cables and reverse curls/close grip EZ bar(I've not used this in a while)
One arm stuff is great w/DB so you can force your own reps
hmer curls(I feel these shape the bi and the different heads of arm)
Tris
French curls(skull crushers) - outside head+
Behind head DB press
Close grip bench
Pushdowns(various grips - ropes(outside head) V grip straight bar) reverse grip*
Lying elbows in double tri extensions(it hamner strength has its version)
Kickbacks
Cables one arm - various grips
You can supperset it/them however you want to pick exercises where your not using power(close grip for ex I wouldn't unless I pre exhausted my tris then I would to finish em off at the very end) skull crushers w/one arm extensions(elbows in or across body) etc use your imagination I do lol
Anyone else care to join in we're both trying to hit the short head of tris(I'd like mine flairing out the side from straight ahead) and thickness on bicep w/hieght(peaks) thxLast edited by NACH3; 07-11-2015 at 04:40 PM.

Hey fellas what's your take on using fat bars for anything arm related - is this really a game changer or not really? I'm curiius I've seen a few videos yhat support this idea w/either a fat bar(and my gym doesn't have one unless it's in the back w/the 150s I found out (something to work towards) or fat grips(pads that go over s reg O Bar - I do know fatter bars are better for building forearms up - just asking for feedback....
