Vince's Log

[vince]

I think i should start a log =D
Im not going to be posting my food intake though.
Current stats:
5'10
185

I am trying to drop my body fat % while waiting weight.

Current supplements:
Fish oil/flax seed oil
Vitamins
Amino energy
Hydrobolic fx protein(Amazing light protein)
creatine
glucosamine

My workouts are veryyy unorthadox but my breakdown looks like this:
Back
Legs
Chest
Rest
Squats/Deadlift
Bi's / Tri's
Shoulders

Like i said, my routine is very unorthadox. It may change from week to week depending on how im feeling that day. Also I will not leave the gym until i can't possibly do anymore for that muscle group. It works great for me. I've noticed my body reacts well when going on little rest and completely burning out.

Any way, today I have back and I will be updating in a couple hours with my workout.

Any tips are greatly appreciated. I am very open minded when it comes to taking advice from more experienced lifters.

I'll read your log. Just out of curiosity, is there any thing that you're trying to achieve lifting or other wise?

[vince]

I'm looking more for some advice from some of the more experienced lifters . But overall I want to break all my PRs. And also just get some experience doing logs. This is my first time ever using any sort of forum

That concluded my back workout. Followed it up with some ab wheel and steam room.

For all of my workouts i have learned to not worry so much about the weight, rather the concentration of working the muscle im trying to hit. I try to do all of my reps concentrated-except the close grip lat pull-down, that was killing my forearms!

What are your current PRs?

[vince]

What are your current PRs?

Bench-285
Deadlift-385
Squat-I believe it was around 405.
My squatting an deadlift have been all jacked up the past couple weeks due to a knee injury. Last week was my first time squatting in a bit and I was able to rep 225 very easily with no pain. I plan on upping the weight a bit next week

They do. No it's more on the inside of my right leg, not really sure what it is. If been squatting for the past few weeks with no pain though. I'm just going to gradually increase my weight

Kinda have the same issue.. been sticking to 405's for now in squatting. I can go heavier strength wise, but my right knee would fail on me

This is smart VayneZ. Most people would just push on, but they would injure themselves in the process. Always remember, injury prevention can be done through mobility. That and working on those unstable muscles that could really help protect your knee. Like doing TKEs after you squat and/or deadlift.

Before this last squat session Vince, when was the last time you did squats? I ask, because if it was over 3-6 months, I'd stick to the weight you are at and don't move up (at least for 3-4 weeks). This will get your tendons, knees, back, and legs ready to take this new abuse.

Vince, I also think you should post your meals. If high quality results are something that you are looking for, I think you should be open to criticism in your workouts and your nutrition. There are a lot of educated and experienced people here who can help you be where you want to be. I feel nutrition is 80% of the equation, i'm sure many would agree with this.
