Hi;

I thought I'd start up my own log. I plan to keep it fairly casual for now unless I ramp things up and decide further details are needed.

Currently:
46 years old, 6'1", 225 Lbs., ~ <12 % BF

I just worked Back yesterday and today is supposed to be cardio only.

This is my current condition although I didn't really flex or pose for the shot since I was in a hurry at the gym and don't want to be seen taking selfies there when others are around. :) One pic's a little blurry as I don't have the latest and greatest iPhone unfortunately. I'll try to get a shot of my back and legs at some point - probably from home though.

I pay close attention to my diet and macros daily, adjust it accordingly and try to eat clean although I sometimes have a little too much salt which I'm currently working on.

I'm currently running a test experiment with Genetec's new DHB product.

This is just a start and I will update this log and add more info. (diet, exercises, weights, AAS, etc.) a.s.a.p..

Thank you,

OD

Thank you @eazy57 , @Clay11 , @German89 & everyone else for checking this out. :)

My current split with some details is outlined further in an earlier post here:
https://canadianbrawn.com/threads/whats-your-current-training-routine.2556/#post-38430

Legs
Rest (maybe some light cardio if my legs aren't too fried but I'd usually rather feed them & recover)
Chest
Back (as a bonus my forearms get the best workout just from doing back)
Rest (cardio)
Shoulders / Upper Abs
Bi's / Tri's / Lower Abs
Rest (cardio)

I'll be working Shoulders & Abs later today...

Thank you,

OD
 
As mentioned partially on my Genetec DHB log:

I worked my shoulders yesterday and thought I had noticed a slight increase in strength. I was able to press 4 plates per side on the iso-lateral shoulder press without a lift to start or a spot to finish my reps (6) even up to and including my very last set. I also blasted out my shoulder raises (side & front) with 50 lb. dumbbells nice and controlled form with no problems and I normally experience some shoulders issues when I'm finished but all went well with no extra pain.

In addition to the iso-lateral shoulder press, the dumbbell front and side laterals, I also completed reverse machine flies for rhomboids.

For Abs, I completed 3 x 50 on the incline ab bench with good form and they felt good. I decided to save my lower ab incline leg raises (~ 4 x 25) for today to go with arms.

Today's workout will be Bi's / Tri's with some left-over Abs .

Thank you,

OD

Thanks a bunch @The Old Guy

I will get some knee sleeves hopefully before next leg day and will be sure to use them regularly if they give me any relief - which I'm sure they will until I get cocky with them and decide to go way too heavy. :D

In addition, I may also try the rubber band method that was recommended on German89's Log as well.

I never want to wear the one $150 prescribed knee brace that I currently have as it's too nice and not really practical - plus I only have one right now even though I have two knees. :) It is good for after I beat the crap out my knees but not really for the workout itself - plus I don't want it to get all funky.

Thanks again,

OD
 
Hi;

I had to switch rest / cardio day with Bi's & Tri's & Lower Abs Day but it gave my shoulders some extra rest so it worked out.

The only downside is that I now have to complete Leg day without my usual rest / cardio day beforehand but that's okay.

Tuesday:
I had a rest /cardio day and completed 35 minutes of cardio.


Wednesday:
I worked Bi's / Tri's with some left-over lower Abs (from the previous day). I now prefer doing lower abs separately and will continue this as part of my regular split.

I completed supersets and drop sets with 4-6 sets per exercise and 6-15 reps (or more until failure) on the following:
  • French Press - up to stack 210 Lbs. + 45 lb. plate
  • EZ Bar Curls - up to 165 Lbs. x 6
  • Tricep Pushdowns - up to stack 210 Lbs. + 45 lb. plate
  • Alternating Dumbell Curls - up to 75 Lbs.
  • Dips - Bodyweight until failure
  • Hammer Curls - stayed lower weight / high reps with 35 Lbs.
  • Incline Leg Raises 3 x 25

Today is Leg Day.

Thank you,

OD
 
Hammer curls low weight/high reps is one of my favourite arm exercises. I also like hammer preacher curls, they feel great. A combination that I've been doing recently is starting with reverse barbell curls then followed by hammer curls with 3 sec negative. FIRE đź’Ą
