thebrick's - What are you Training Today?

[tripletotal]

Developing a new routine to go with the new job...both start today.

Tuesday/Friday 5x5x5 in 25 with the wifey (full body compound movement workout with a good metabolic edge to it)

Monday chest and triceps
Wednesday back and biceps
Thursday legs

Weekends off

Chest is most lagging, so I put that early in the week when I'm fresh. Legs grow easy, so I put it late. Does this seem like its gonna run me down?

Also going to enjoy some selections from the "metal-enter at your own risk" thread with today's self-destruction session. I love that thread.

Stay healthy kid.

Thanks X, I appreciate that.

Triple, the thing I am seeing with this is overload on your lower back going from back to legs in consecutive days. And with the added in work in between with the 5x5x5, you can get burned out faster than you'd like.

Maybe try to slide one of those metabolic days between back and legs? Are you doing shoulders on the metabolic days?

Had a pretty good chest workout only to come home to the Boston news....WTF??

Thanks for the feedback, AtomAnt. Burnout is what I was worried about, of course, and I felt there was some chance of it with this protocol.

My back days rarely hit lower back hard, and even my deadlifts are sumo so they tax it less than most. I was thinking I would avoid deadlifts during back workouts and avoid straight leg deadlifts on leg day.

Yes, shoulders get hit on the metabolic day through bench/incline press, push press, and military press and rear delts on back day and during metabolic day BB or DB rows. My shoulders are pretty fucked so i have to keep the volume down on them.

Or give up the weekends off idea and do like you say slotting the metabolic in between legs and back.

Thanks again!

IMO, I think you should keep in either the sumo DLs or the SLDLs. I would opt for the sumo SLDLs because they seem to be a better exercise for overall strength (hit back, hammies, traps, erectors and abs).

You can also just push legs back to friday and swap a metabolic day on Thursday?
--------

All it took for me was a mean look at my logbook today and I got the motivation I needed. Eyed that little bastard up and hit my zone. Slammed my logbook on calves and hammies and bested all of my last time efforts for quads. On my WM, a racked the weight, got lightheaded and nearly passed out. I still have a headache lol

Other news, my heart goes out to all those in Boston. I have many friends up there and thankfully all are fine. Several were watching the race and described the chaos... I am beside myself that something like this could happen

Back day. Tried something I haven't done in a while...Pendlay Rows! Man they felt good. Gotta start throwing those in the rotation. Got a good forearm pump while doing them.

2 weeks of 250mg/week Test E. Noticing more vascularity and my libido is through the roof.

 

[turbobusa]

Back was really good with time constraints.Feeling it this am .
Arms were light and just more of a break in as I have really not trained arms
in a long time. Hmm feeling nothing. maybe delayed onset or maybe they
are more "in shape" than I thought from indirect stimulation.
No training today. Legs next. You all train well . I'll stop in afternoon.
Thanks, T..........

 

[thebrick]

Now look at what you did Xmen, you are giving me ideas!! :headbang: I have back down for this afternoon and I just might throw some of those pPendlay Rows in! Sounds like back day for quite a few at the AnaCSI sweatshop!

 

[AtomAnt]

I'm jealous of all you fuckers... I have to be in school tonight and wait until tomorrow to train.

AHHHHHH...hope you all smash some shit up. Toss up an extra rep for me guys since I have to be off today, please?

 

[thebrick]

After a kick ass legs Sunday and chest yesterday, for some reason, I felt a little depleted this afternoon. Maybe I should have rested. It was an OK back workout today, but man, did I ever have to push through.

 

[Ironbuilt]

Board meeting so im going to toss and hurl city planners into punchbowl I will have spiked with vodka.. leg day wed . Good to see u guys make it happen today.

 

[tripletotal]

Solid back and bicep day today. Used a new cellular hydration mix pre- and intra-workout today. Worked really well. Swollen lats, teres, even rhomboids. And biceps so swollen that I had that ”if I bend my arms my skin will split” feeling.

Decided to go with a more traditional split and just do two-a-days on Tuesday/Thursday for my 5X5X5s.

 

[turbobusa]

Will be taking a recoup and feed day today. Have stuff to finish for newsletter 5.
Had a very long day yesterday. Tomorrow will be legs at the real gym.
Hope you guys have a great day. Thanks , T

 

[thebrick]

[Ironbuilt]

OK well I kept the old man group alive .welcome brick and turbo.. B la St ed LEGGS.. I mean wore these ponderosa pinertrees into sawdust..did a major exhaust of hammys and quads. Then worked up sets on leg press just to rest lower back some and finaled out 950 x 5 end set.OK not as hot as u guys but dam.good enuf for me..finished with calves and inner/outer thigh machine to stretch and grow my hip flexors into cables.. whos left.?

[thebrick]

[xmen1234]
