Very nice numbers, Nick. Your first set of squats is WAY above my last one. D'oh! I got some work to do, man.
PS. Yeah, now I understand. [img]smile.gif[/img]

No motivation again today. Maybe it is a Monday thing, I don't know. I haven't slept as much as I normally do, that could have something to do with it. I am very tired, but I haven't had a chance to take a nap, nor will I for the rest of the day. I am really glad that I am done with these workouts. They have really taken a lot out of me. 2 to go, and the week's hardest is behind me.

My elbows felt like they were about to tear apart on the chinups. Good thing I am done with "B." For some reason they don't feel it on the pullups, maybe it's the neutral grip.
I had to close my eyes on my last rep of the hang cleans to get it up. I'm just glad I didn't fall over, although I did almost whack myself in the face with the bar many a time today bringing it down. Weird.
After 1 PM, the upstairs now is "Uptempo" workouts; where they basically just mess with the lights and jack up the music. With the right music, it is pretty cool.

Nick, you've made good progress over the course of phase 3 on those chinups. +40 is sweet given your size. I think I'm gonna use your version of Workout B tomorrow as I had such a sh*tty time with B last week. I will do my chins in B and then see how my shoulder handles a weighted pullup in C. We're almost done this phase, man. Looking forward to IV. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Goodbye P3!!! And good riddance! My joints have been popping constantly, and the heavy weights were really taking a toll. I didn't go up because I was extremely tired, and I injured my lower leg kicking the football around. (I am a little kid in a big kid's body.) It hurts like a mofo!

Yeah, very nice squats, Nick. I feel the same way about the end of Phase 3. It kicked ass but it's nice to be moving on while my body is still in one piece! [img]smile.gif[/img] Hope the leg heals up quickly.

Good work Ninja, your squats are coming along nicely. I am very interested to see how "Perfect 10" supplements your training. I have been working on(I have been unable to be consistent the last month or so) adding additional single lift workouts into my routine for a different body part every day, but the idea of focusing on a single body part for an extended time is very interesting. Keep up the hard work.
I am looking forward to P4 tomorrow. I am *tempted* to go MWF on upper body days, and TTS on lower body days, because the "C" workout for both doesn't look as taxing on the CNS and that schedule fits nicely into P10. We'll see. I will adjust if I start crashing.
And sorry for the date messup Bobby. I was supposed to workout on the 28th (Friday) but it ended up being Saturday.

Had to sub in seated rows because A) I am "not supposed to move" the benches, and B) the power racks were taken.
I really enjoyed this. I am going to be daring and try to go 6 days a week. Once I start to slack though, I will go back to the 4 day a week plan the book calls for.

Good start, Nick. What does the "(EH)" mean after DB incline?

Of course - makes sense. D'oh. I still think you're a wuss.
I've now done 2 P10 w/o's. I know ... I was supposed to wait a day in between but I can't get to the gym tomorrow. So I did DB curls and dips today. Kinda fun. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Front Squats
3x5 @ 195
I think I can handle more weight here with my legs, but this about fell off my arms. I hate having to hold onto the bar.
Leg Curls
3x5 @ 165
Effing leg curls. I hadn't used a machine since God knows when and stupid S2B screws it up. Not happy.
Snatch Grip Deadlift
3x5 @ 245
Could have done more here, but with my arms wider apart my grip was failing. I keep saying I have to get it up. Now I actually need to do it.
Good Mornings (No glute ham raise machine and the lat pulldown seats are 6 inches wide.)
3x5 @ 195
I am never going again at night. Lots of eye candy upstairs, which is always a plus, but the shit going on downstairs in the "pump room" pissed me off. The dude in the rack next to me was curling and the guy in the smith was doing upright rows and jerking his body back like 3 feet every rep. I saw enough forearm curls and cutoff shirts to last me a lifetime, and it reeked of some serious BO when I walked in. Yuck.
And I failed to mention that the power rack bars got bent and wouldn't come out, forcing me to do the deadlifts outside the rack in the middle of the traffic pattern. It took like five guys and the weight room attendant to come to the conclusion they were bent. Duh!

Telle Flys
2x8 @ 60
I would recommend not to do these if you have shoulder problems. I was very careful not to go out too far. These were awkward.
DB Bent Over Rows
2x10 @ 80
DB Military Press (on flat bench)
2x6 @ 45
Felt a nice pinch in my back. My feet wanted to come off the ground with these.
Wide Grip Seated Rows (replacing high pulls)
2x8 @ 135
Didn't want to do the high pulls after reading the thread about a month back in the training discussion.
P10
Dumbbell Curls
3x10 @ 35 (EH)
Triceps Pressdowns (rope)
3x10 @ 110
Lots of weirdos again today. All of the benches were empty except for mine, but two guys curling felt the need to be within 2 feet of my bench. One of them was "Elasto Man" who, I am not kidding, was curling with the backs of his hands at his sides. Not kidding. His arm was twisted 180 degrees from normal. I almost tore a rotator cuff watching him.
Oh, and the perverts that workout in the "quiet room" where all of the girls are annoy me. The dumbbells only go up to 50, so if you are showing off, you aren't trying hard enough.

Again, Nick, nice start on the new phase. I definitely have some work ahead of me to keep anywhere near you on these numbers. Thanks for the heads up on the telle flys. Not sure I'm even going to attempt flys given my shoulder issue. They've always been a recipe for disaster with me. Good work, man, seriously good work.

Ryan, if you are one of the quiet room guys, I will figure out a way to kick your ass. Get in the "pump room" and lift some heavy weights with the men!
