Mike Mazz Training Log

Physicsmazz · 05-11-2006, 06:56 AM

Ok let's see...I have probably about 6 months of working out total. It usually works out like 1 month on 2-3 months off, so everytime I start back up I feel like I'm starting from scratch. I joined a gym about 2 months ago and started going consistantly for a month and then hurt my back and took 2-3 weeks off. I've been back for 2-3 weeks consistantly now and I'm going to keep it up!

My Stats:
31 year old male.
6' about 168 lbs.

I figure maybe some measurements will be a good way to track progress:
wrist : 6.75"
forearm: 11.5"
bicep: 13.5"
chest: 39"
waist: 33"
quad: 22.5"
calves: 14" maybe 14.25"

My workout:
full body 5x5 (M W F). When I get up to 5x7 I bump up the weight and go back to 5x5. I'll probably be changing this up in a month or so, we'll see.

yesterdays workout, if I can remember
5/10/06:
FULL squats: 5x5 @ 220 lbs.
chinups (worked in with squats): 5x6 bodyweight

dips (first time trying my dipping belt): 5x5 with 25 lb. plate

1 arm bent over rows: 5x5 @ 65 lbs.

db bench press: 5x5 @ 55 lbs.

deads: 5x5 @ 255 (I did 5x3 at 300 the other day using straps, but that was the first exercise and first time trying straps)

I guess that's about it. I try to take in a min of 3200 Cal. of fairly clean food, but I've been bad at keeping track of that. I usually get about 5+ servings of fruits and veggies and I take a multivitamin, fish oil caps, and vitamin C.

I guess that's it.

Hi, Mike,
Welcome aboard. If you slack off, you know you are gonna get it from the guys and gals on this forum. So go for it and be consistent.

Physicsmazz · 05-11-2006, 07:56 AM

Thanks! Hope the weather is nicer in Germany than it is here!

Physicsmazz · 05-11-2006, 07:57 AM

Thanks Mahler...I signed a 2 year gym agreement, that should be some incentive.

Not quite fitness related, but I brewed up a Pale Ale yesterday...3-4 weeks and it'll be time to try it out

Your log name "MikeMazz" caught my eye... I (indirectly) know a Mike Mazzola... then I see you're from MA too... but I think you are too young to be the same guy. You're not a drummer by any chance, are you?

Either way, welcome to the boards!

Pretty good start there. I like the look of those squats, especially.

No musical talents at all

Mike Mazzantini is my name.

Thanks Mahler. I'm sure I could go heavier, but I don't feel like stalling and having to drop the weights onto the safty bars...seem like it would be a little embarissing.

Yea those squat numbers look very good. I'll be watching your progress, so make it impressive... or at least lie about it

Physicsmazz · 05-15-2006, 07:40 PM

5/15:

Full squats 5x5 @ 230
superset with
DB bench 5x5 @ 60

1 arm row 5x5 @ 70

dips 5x5 with 35

pullups 2x5 ran out of time, went to work.

Physicsmazz · 11-16-2006, 09:02 AM

I haven't updated this thing in a while, so I thought I'd throw some newer stats out there.

Deadlift: pulled 405 on 2 seperate occations, with straps though. 385 without.
Chinups: 2 with 75 lbs
Dips: 2 with 100 lbs
DB benchpress: 5 x 6 @ 70 lbs (my worst exercise)
1 arm dumbell snatch: 6 x 4 @ 75 lbs

I also took some new measurements to see if I've made any difference.

weight still hovering around 170-174.
bicep: 14.25"
forearm: 12.25"
chest: 42"
quad: 23.5"
calf: 15"
wrist: 7"
waist: 34"
