LMAO!!

Btw, how is the quitting drinking thing going? You said you were gonna give it a try.

I did cut back, completely quitting is boring as fuck. Been keeping myself occupied with work instead.

lifting heavy will help you quit.. go out drinking friday. and go bench heavy on saturday.. when the weight almost kills you and you stink like vodka... you give up drinking REAL Fast:)

Ugh..yuck. Hangovers suck as it is, but trying to workout with one? No thanks!

I'm doing chest and tri's tonight, tomorrow one hour cardio on the bike, Friday will be back and bi's.

Try watching a drunken friend trying to max out on bench during a house party after drinking a few cups of trashcan punch. College was a lot of fun.

I think I would quit heavy lifting at that point lol

im not a fan of doing chest/tris on the same day.. i prefer Shoulders/tris and Chest/bis

To me , that doesn't make any sense. Chest/tri's are pushing muscles, back and bi's are pulling muscles. Why would you not work them out in the same session?

Shoulders are push muscles too..

but shoulders rely LESS on triceps than chest.

if you can go 100% on triceps after a chest work out.. your chest workout isnt worth a damn.

Shoulders dont tire out the triceps near as much as a solid chest work out.. so i can give 100% on shoulders and 100% on triceps.. where as on saturdays i kill Chest and then kill bis which were in no way impacted by the chest work out.


NORMALY people mix a push major and a pull minor together for a work out.

That would explain why my chest doesn't get anywhere near as sore as my triceps do. I just figured it was me being weak as hell. lol

were you doing chest or triceps first?

I always do chest first because it seems to need so much more.

IMO if you are training alone you arent doing enough volume..
i do 2 warm up sets on bench. and then 3-4 Work sets.
4 sets incline.. 4 sets peck deck.. and then once im done with the work out completely ill hop on the Decline machine and do sets of 10 till i fail completely.

I prefer to lift alone. It's my time to get rid of stress. I don't want to chit chat, or wait on someone else etc. I also don't want to be in the gym for 3 hours. I want to get in, get my training done and get out. I usually have my four year old in the daycare at the gym and hour and half to two hours is about her limit in there before starts getting tired of it.

Ironically, I HATE dealing with training partners which is funny because my other obsession of BJJ relies on a training partner so much. I'm a technique perfectionist and can't stand dealing with people aren't taking it seriously. I don't expect everyone to be as detailed as I am, but when training I do expect partners to be trying to better themselves rather than joking around or slacking off. I'm there to work and get better. I treat lifting weights the same way.

me and 2 training partners get a work out with Much greater volume than yours done in 1:30 to 2 hours depending on how crazy we get rep count wise.. to REALLY push yourself on chest you need some one to spot you to assist with forced reps and negatives. Sounds like you have trained with the wrong people.. when i lift i talk between sets... get a little rest and get back to it.
