Yes Nark, thanks to You man, I was wasing so much time with these lower weight warmup sets, it was ridiculous.
I would still be at max 205 right now
Seems like I can add extra 10-20 lbs each workout. Will see today as well, Ill try to pull 300.

Hey Audis, haha!
You know how that works right ? You wokrout hard as hell, for decen period of time, obviously Youre doing a whole muscle show in front of the mirror each day ( I know I am ) than You're just used to it, seeing it every day, that You dont even notice the BIG picture. I got that from time to time, especially from people that I didn't see in a while, or perople just met. They're like, damn man how long have You been training for, or if I am using something. First thing I have in my mind is... wtf, I am not that big now, to ask me about roids.
It does make me feel really good when someone says it, because I know even though I don't see what others see, I must be doing something right with my lifting.
So, it's all good. Untill the point when You'll notice people looking all weird at You and possibly starting to run away, hahahaha! Than You'll be like, hold on a sec, wtf is going on ? You look at the mirrior, and You look like Ruhl

[Columbus]

The main idea of this is to hit each muscle group with full energy You know what I mean ?
For example when I am doing my back and workout, I am pretty damn beat and still have to do my biceps. I go as heavy as I can on all of these and I believe that if I split these two I can get more intense workouts.

you know your body best bro.....i just think you'd be better off on a 2 on 1 off type split....4 days is too much for 95% of us, save AAS use.

heres my opinion...somethin like that

[UberSteroids]

On the 300lbs and 270lbs lifts, my freaking gloves were slipping. I couldn't hold it.
I don't really want to use straps, I want my grip to get stronger.

See the extra 270 and 225 lifts I am doing because after 300 lift it still feels like I didn't get enough of workout so I do them. I don't think I am overtraining. Feels good today, lower back not sore, I can feel it though.
I do need that light warmup for sure.
I'll do this next time:
Bar x15
135x4 (2-1-2)
225x5
325x max
275x max
225x 5

It just feels like I am getting a better workout doing it that way.
Like today I feel great, not sore, I can feel my back big time tho, can't really lift sh!t even if I wanted to.
Thanks for looking out for me Chest!

[chest6]

I understand what you're saying.

Go buy some chalk..chalk the shit outta ur hands before your heavy sets ..problem solved. Chalk is all I use...no straps..IMO gloves make the bar slip more than if you just went with barehands. So i took the gloves off a long time ago.

I agree, I never use my gloves or straps...I bought chalk last week and can't wait to try it out.

[UberSteroids]

I agree on that, glove do make it slip more than bare hands.
I just wanted to protect my skin bit more, I dont want to have all fvcked up hands, it's for the ladies You know what I mean. I always took care of my hands, man they feel like babys ass. Girl love that
But, I think once a week for deadlift won't kill me.
I'll get some chalk.
Thanks fellas

I'm going to try one week of this split right here and see what happens:
Day1 Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Day2 Back/Biceps
Day3 OFF
Day4 Legs
Day5 Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Day6 Back/Biceps
Day7 OFF

I wanna see if I can handle this without overtraining. Reason why is because today is suppose to be my Leg day and I already feel like I can do my Chest/Triceps workout. Seems like I recover at decent rate. I sleep 8hr every day, I eat good. Will see.
Wish me luck

[chest6]

Hmmm...I certainly couldnt do that I overtrain easily. We'll see how it goes

I am sick as hell, runny nose, watery eyes, got cold like two days ago, feeling like crap. I am really suprized I could do such decent workout.
Looks like it's time to move up on some of the lifts.
Also, I don't think I can do that crazy split I though of coulpe of days ago, that would be overkill.

[UberSteroids]

Oh man, I'm sick as sh!t today. At work all day, 12 hours straight, it's not like it is a labor job but still. My mind is tired.
Anyways, I am not going to miss my back workout just because I am sick, always some little sh!t stands in our way, add those little things that happen over a whole year, You could probably count to whole month or more that was missed because of that.
So I am gonna give it a shot.

[UberSteroids]

So I thought I can win and do my workout.
Ok, so I go and start warming up for dead lift, bar only as usual 15 reps, 2 sets of 135x6, 225x5.
Feeling like sh!t, stuffed up nose etc.
Starting to lift my 325, on the second rep, I can just feel warm as hell on my face, I put the weight down, I got blood running down my t-shirt!
Ok, so much for lifting...
Blew the nose, got some nose drops, took medicine, shower, done...
Hate beeing sick...
At least I tried...

Why?

Thats 200 lbs in 6 months...are you planning to cycle? I still don't really know how thats feasable but goals are always good

[*Narkissos*]

^^It's feasible.

Good luck bro.

[UberSteroids]

Well, I know it seems like lots of weight to add on in 6 months.
Thing is I remember only about 6 - 8 sessions back I could do 225 lbs only about 5 times max. Two sessions back I jumped to 300 which I could lift only 2 times. Two days I ago I lifted 305Lbs x 2 ( slipped ) and day after ( yesterday ) did full back workout and 300x6.

So seems like the progress it's there. Maybe I am not even using all I got right now, I am kind of afraid not to over train. I need to keep the weight at comfortable levels. This is how I weight train on all of my workouts.
I think if I will add 10Lbs each back sessions that equals to 40lb add each month, end of summer is about 5-6 months from now.
5x40=200.

I think I can do it.

Thanks Nark!

You know it's not that simple... But i do think your goal is doable.

Don't be disappointed if you fall short however. Any increase is a good increase.

[UberSteroids]

Yeah I know, heavier the weight, heavier the every 10lb add will feel.

"Aim for the moon and even if You miss You'll still land on stars"
I like that...

If I hit that 425 I will be very happy!

[*Narkissos*]

^^ That's positive bro.

Now get out of here go lift some weight s

[chest6]

Remember you are just a beginner at the lift. Gains will come very quickly at first, then level off.

You really cannot expect to make the same gains you did as a beginner as a novice..or close to.,

[UberSteroids]

Good point Chest.
Will see how it goes!
