With this "Bent-over Row: 6x5 - 36.4 kg" Do you mean total weight or per hand?
Looks good btw!
Total weight!  Sorry for the misconception! I'm not that strong to do rows with 36 kg dumbbells haha!! Neither, but at the end of this year I plan to be able to do 3 sets 12 reps with chest press using 30kg per dumbbell. But mostly I just wish to start seeing some proper results, other than in my progress diary. Not that I haven't gained definition but I wish more:) Eitherway, let's keep at it matey! |

I also have to think about something while serving the military. I'll get to serve in the military for 6 months starting in September this year. I guess I'll take a large box of protein powder with me, because you don't get more than 3 square meals a day there |

Hey Danny I was just wondering because you said you just work out whenever you feel you've recovered from the last workout but how do you know you've recovered? But your sleeping sounds pretty sound as well ^^

1 day minimum rest. If I don't feel sore I get on to the next workout, otherwise I wait one more day I basically listen to my body and look if my reps are increasing. If they're not then I'm obviously over-training! Sometimes I just don't find the time like today, because I need to hold a presentation about my diploma thesis on Friday. It pisses me off a little, but graduation exams are more important than not delaying one workout! |

Damn school messing up my schedule <.< Feb 18th, 2010Workout B - "light"The thing with workout B is that it contains a lot of heavy lifts. I never do more reps on deadlift than 7 and I do as much as I can on pull-ups and dips (still can't do them...  The dip bars were shipped yesterday  ) Anyways! Deadlift: 6x5 - 45.4 kg Pull-Up: 6x5 Upright-Row: 8x5 - 16.9 kg Push-Up Variations (3 sets hip push-ups, 1 set wide grip push-up, 1 set regular): 8x2 7x1 8x2 Skull Crusher: 8x4 - 16.9 kg Seated Calf Raise with BB on my thighs: 10x5 28.9 kg That's it for today! Wish me luck for my presentation tomorrow. There will be like 100+ people watching >.< |

For deadlifts, I would increase the weight but do just 1 set of 5. You'll see Better gains doing it like that, deadlifts are meant to be heavy (relative to the lifter) and make you feel sick afterwards Also, good luck 2morro |

Running out of weight is a real pain. Hopefully when those plates arrive you'll get decent mileage out of them.

Do some warm up sets to a heavy workset of 5 reps, then try to increase that weight every week. Also, the more reps of deadlifts you do, the more likely your form will deteriorate, which is never good while doing deadlifts. The only good deadlift, is a heavy one  |

Dynamic effort is a way lifting weights with a speed as fast as possible with low weight and since it's used alot by powerlifters, I think you can assume it works pretty good. And only one work set, I find stupid, since you will be capable to get more out of it. |

And only one work set, I find stupid, since you will be capable to get more out of it. Professional powerlifters have been training for years. Im not saying to do deadlifts slowly, you think should pull them as fast as you can. But when people start doing speed reps with deadlifts their form goes to ****. This guy from another forum explained it well: "Deadlift just really lends itself well to heavy weight/low rep. The deadlift puts a lot of stress on your back and traps, which hold the weight in isometric contraction. Muscles can hold a LOT of weight isometrically, so only doing enough weight to allow 3x10 sets will only push them to a fraction of their potential. Try holding the bar at the top of a heavy rep of deadlifts - even if it's your 5th rep and took an enormous amount of effort to get the bar up, you can actually hold on to it pretty easily. If the back and traps are strong enough to easily hold a bar that took so much effort to get up, it seems to me that a weight light enough to do 3x10 won't challenge them at all." Also, Try doing 1 set of 5 heavy deadlifts. You shouldnt be able to do another set after that, and the thought of it would make you want to vomit. If not, they arnt heavy enough |
