3 x 133

291# x 7

NOTES
First time with a training partner, he was a little late so I started without him. He came half way through the floor presses. It was fun and intense. My heart was pounding, we both worked up a great sweat and finished up feeling like we had been put through the wringer. Fun and intense.

Floor Press - 155 is a personal best for me on this exercise. It felt almost too light which is a good sign. Static hold was a half negative, tough after the rest pause set.
BHNP - thought my arms would fall off
Bench Dips - others had never seen one with extra weight. 35 was actually too light, I will add more weight next time.
Chins - need work, Nuff said.
Rack Deads - these went up so easy it was scary. The Fit For The King folks were coming in as we were doing these. Mine were conventional grip, Jeff went sumo. My legs were shaking when done.

Juggernaut HP
FOCUS - Outstanding. Driven
STRENGTH - weights I thought would challenge me came easy.
ENDURANCE - heart was racing, but worked fast and hard.
OVERALL VIEW - I feel the JUGGS helped carry me through. I like this stuff.

I like.

THE WORK

EZ Bar Drag Curls
5 x bar wu
10 x 22 Plate Weight Only wu
6 x 32 PWO wu
15 x 37 +5 +3 + 10 second negative hold

Reverse Grip BB Curls
10 x 35
10 x 35

Standing Calf Raises
10 x 183 - Hold at the top of each rep
6 x 183

Straight Leg Dead Lift
5 x 45 wu
5 x 133 wu
17 x 153

Squats
5 x 45 wu
9 x 203
20 x 153

NOTES
Just in case anyone is wondering about the odd weights recorded, The Fit For the King Gym weights are mostly international, all of our larger plates are international. Having gone through school without learning the metric system, I just use the strange numbers.

Drag Curls - had a great pump, veins were popping.
Reverse Grip BB Curls - We have a 35 bar, a favorite with the ladies. Never having done these I started light, probably way too light as these felt more like a hammer curl than a forearm exercise.
Standing Calves - Goal was to hold the top up to 15 seconds each rep. My balance not being great of late, that didn't happen much. Got the first rep to 15 and the last rep to 15 of the first set and just decided to do slow reps on the rest.
Straight Leg Deadlifts - Started too light. I failed on the 18th rep, should have failed earlier.
Squats - First working set was okay, a good start. The widow maker set was just the right weight. Legs were toast when done.

I have had DOMS in my lats all day, we will see how the legs feel tomorrow.

Day two of this routine is in the books. I am liking it so far. Happy V day everyone.

Juggernaut HP
Pump - 8 out of 10
Strength - 8 out of 10
Focus - 7 out of 10 - waking up at 4:30 am may have had something to do with it.
Endurance - 8 out of 10
I am trying to time this to kick in as I am hitting the gym. Took a little longer to get over there than I had planned. Still loving the taste, not tiring of it at all.

Keep it up Bama.

Workout looks awesome! I agree waking up that early could have caused the lack of focus especially if you arent used to getting up like that. Im usually up at 3:30 and working out by 4:15 lol

THE WORK

Incline Bench
5x45 warmup (wu)
5x67 wu
7x153 + 2 +3 + 10 second static hold

DB MilitaryPress
5x25 wu
5x35 wu
10x40 +5 +5 +10 second hold

Close Grip Bench
5x45 wu - find proper hand placement
10x115 +5 +3 +10 second hold

Wide Grip Lat Pulldown
18x70 +8 +12 + 15 second hold

Pendlay Rows
8x115 +5 +4

NOTES
Goofed on a few exercises here, but my triceps, chest and shoulders took a beating.
WGLP - started too light first set should have been 10 or less.

Pendlay - After I finished I remembered that these were supposed to be straight sets not rest paused.

Got cardio in one day this week and forgot the extreme stretching. This next week I need at least two days of cardio and the extreme stretching on training days.


JUGGERNAUT HP
Still chugging along. Thought I had timed this one out right but then my meeting went long. I was ready when we hit the gym, that is what matters.

Focus was through the roof 10 out of 10.
Pump was extreme, my skin felt like it was going to rip off of my triceps. 10/10
Strength 8/10
Endurance 8/10
Taste 9/10
1.5 scoops is just right at the moment. Just enough of a charge, but no bowel issues. Win in my book.

Sounds good. You know that's the best thing about a log is that you know what weight you should use for exercises. Next time you won't have to guess.

[Credz]

Looking solid sir! Great ratings on the Juggernaut as well!

Have you tried varying the amount of water? I've heard of some that go with 4oz and feel l like it gives the taste an extra boost!

Brother, I rarely give anybody or anything a 10/10. This side of heaven, there is always room for improvement. Just my view of things.

Water wise, I am using between 4 and 6 oz. Taste is great, very smooth. I am pleased with the taste. This is in my top 3 of pre-workouts that I have used.
