Walking Beast's Journal

[Walking Beast]

Had to cut my routine short today due to grinding my shoulder with some dumbbell rows. Usually wouldve done 10-15 more sets for back, to failure. Still I got to use my custom dumbbell handle today and hit some PR's. Since the heaviest I was able to go in the past was 160 due to gym limitations. The handles basically maxes at 210 using 4 25's per side. Could use 35's or 45's but they are real wide and cut range severely.

(192lbs, stayed up for over 24 hours to train a second time, rather then wake up late. Gym closes at 6pm)

Heres the routine:

Wide-Grip Chin-Ups:

32 (one rep PR)
6 (+45Lb)
8 (+25lb)
9(+25lb)
10
16

One Arm Dumbbell Rows:

110x50 (matched on both arms)
160x16 left arm, 160x20 right arm (right arm is a 3 rep PR)
180x10 (PR, first time messing with this weight)
210x5 (right arm only. After this my shoulder was grinding. So I backed off. PR though)

Wouldve normally done another 10-15 sets, but didnt want to fuck with the shoulder. I did these sets pretty strict and without momentum. usually I would use some ballistics, but last week I pulled out my upper back somewhat with just the 160's. So I kept my abs contracted the whole time and did the reps slow and deliberate for the most part. Have two ruptured disks in my upper back and a crooked spine, plus biceps are still reall strained lately. So never know whats going to happen.

KILL THAT SHIT!!

Nothin too insane. Still on my way back to my old fuckin self. Hit some all time lightweight PR's though. More endurance then anything. The lightweight sets are still sucking up a good deal of energy and my endurance is not quite how it used to be. I used to be able to hit PRs with the heavier weights after repping 225,275, but not back there yet. My PR's were 225x34 and 185x49 on flat bench press.

My eating was fucked up last few days. FUCKING STRESS. Not eating near enough. I came in at 190 clothed. Most of my sets are ballistic ,explosive except ones listed as slow. Usually done with pauses. To switch it up. Used to hit 315x12, still not back to that on bench.

The high rep sets are done super explosive and just short of lockout until the last few reps.

Heres the chest portion (burnt out fast today, no food):

Flat Bench Press:

135x20 (warm)
225x34 (all time PR)
275x15
315x4
315x4.5
300x5
275x6 (real slow style)
185x49 (all time PR)
225x10 (real slow)

Incline Bench Press: (muscle endurance went quickly today)

135x15
225x11
275x3

Incline Hammer Strength Press:

270x22
360x5.5
270x8 (very slow)


Wide Chest Hammer Strength press:

270x10 (worn out)

Standing Cable Flie : 90x16, 110x13 (weight per side, light)

42 push-ups to finish

Showing some signs of coming back, but still got a long way to go.

Appreciate the encouraging words brother! Its come very slow for me as well. I hit my peak strength and size about 4 years ago at 24 years old. Which was after 10 years of straight training. Having only missed a week due to circumstances outside my control in that time. I was 105-115lbs when I started. Because of my insanity I became strong quickly, but size came super slow. So I can relate. Im finally starting to see my old self re-emerge after a 2 year lay off, due to ruptured disks from lifting. Still have a way to go but its good to see some fucking light at the end of a long dark fucking tunnel. No training was a mind fuck.

You look to have a very solid foundation. Keep KILLING THAT SHIT and youll reach your goals.
