Today's Workout

Workout Time: 41 minutes

Workout Grade: A-

Daily Cardio: NADA

Front delts were a bit tight yet from this week's incline presses and dips. Had a good tricep pump today. My left shoulder has been a bit tender for the last 2 months and one arm dumbbell presses were a little more difficult with that arm. I finished the reps so I can't complain.

One Arm Overhead Dumbbell Press
85 x 5
85 x 5
85 x 5

Seated Military Press
185 x 8
185 x 7
185 x 6
185 x 6
185 x 5

Those are some big time Military Press numbers. Awesome job.

And 2100 calories must be a hell of a challenge. I know the 1950 or so for me is proving to be tough. But perseverance will pay off when you dominate the stage!

Thanks Andy. The hardest part of the day is about 7pm. At that point I eat apples and pickles.

Your style is really unorthodox, but I like it!! Those guys over at BB.com and the roider magazines would sh!t a brick if they saw how you're doing it. But whatever gets the job done!

Thanks Andy. One luxury I have that others don't is that I can't get much bigger so I don't feel the pressure to do too much. Don't take this to mean I am bigger then guys like Francisco because I'm not. I just stopped adding mass a long time ago.

So basically I just go with how I feel on that day.

Hopefully one day down the road I will be there too.

You will. Crush yourself while you're young. As you get old, at least for me, volume work kills me at times. Lift hard while your hormones are strong. By 22 you will be huge.

I've always been more of a low-volume, almost all compound lifts trainee.
