    Lightbulb Nark's - Not Really a Log

    Hi.
    I've always believed in keeping Logs.
    However, last year, after 13 straight years of logging... I found the process tedious and overwhelming.

    So... I stopped logging, and posted my logs to facebook so others could benefit from them.

    Right now, I'm planning my year's training cycles.
    So, I'm posting this thread for a bit of accountability. I won't necessarily post in it regularly (sorry if that disappoints some of you). But, I will definitely pop in from time to time with my thoughts.

    Presently, I'm 5'8", 215 lbs.
    Torn left bicep.
    Severely strained lower abdominal muscles.
    Arthritis (hereditary. Both hips. Flares under duress)

    ^^Those things are things I have to be conscious of when training. But overall, I feel pretty good most of the time.

    I'm not on any gear.
    50mg clomid daily presently.

    Today was, was leg day.

    Playing around with drop-sets, mechanical drop-sets. Etc.



    Session log:

    5km bike ride to gym (21mins)

    seated leg curls: 1 warm up set.
    1 dropset to absolute muscular failure.

    glute machine kickback:
    1 warm up set.
    1 dropset to absolute muscular failure.

    leg extensions:
    1 warm up set.
    1 dropset to absolute muscular failure.

    barbell squat pyramid, reverse pyramid, drop set + mechanical drop set: 1 round:
    135 lbs x 1, 225 lbs x 1, 315 lbs x 1, 225 lbs x 2, 135 lbs x muscular failure, bodyweight-only plyometric squat x failure

    ^^all movements Ass-to-Calves

    calf/ab blitz: 1 round
    barbell standing calf raise: 135 x 10
    decline sit up x 10
    barbell standing calf raise: 225 lbs x 10
    decline sit up x 10
    barbell standing calf raise drop set: 315 x 10, 225 x 10, 135 x 10
    decline sit up x failure + decline crunch x failure

    5km bike sprint home (18 mins)
