Squats and Deads 7/28/05

Batista from WWE was in our gym today. Two days ago The Big Show was there working out too. I don't know why my POS gym is so popular with the wrestlers but it's pretty cool either way. Today I decided to go with a real leg workout.

Biceps & Triceps 7/6/05

Today I decided to reverse the routine. I would do triceps first since they tend to fatigue my arms alot less than bi's. It worked out very well too, I had barely lost any "umph" to do the full bicep workout after tri's. I think I may do this some more in the future. One thing I screwed up on though, was forgetting to peak my curl 100% at the top in order to fix my form. It hit me on my last two exercises which sucks but I just need to remember form is everything on this road.

Cable Pushdowns: 130x10 • 130x10 • 130x10
Cable Pushdowns(Reverse Grip): 110x10 • 110x10 • 110x10
Cable Rope Pushdowns: 100x10 • 100x10 • 100x10
Close-Grip Bench Press: 135x10 • 135x10 • 135x10
Single Arm Cable Kick-Backs (not my idea): 90x10 • 90x12 • 90x12


Straight Bar Curls 125x12 • 145x10 • 155x8 • 145x10 • 125x10
Alternating Dumbell Curls: 40x10 • 40x10 • 40x10 • 40x10
Seated Hammer Curls: 40x10 • 40x10 • 40x10 • 40x10
Preacher Curls (21s): 75x21 • 75x21 • 75x21
