Abs

Solid workout, loads of energy...ate a little too much cake last night, but back on track today.  The birthday is rough with everyone wanting to take me out to lunch or grab a beer since I haven't been eating out or drinking really.
Did not have a spotter today and did not want to do incline db presses..went with weight vest push-ups switching grips/angles/and ranges of motion...enjoyed the change and definitely hit the chest/triceps pretty hard doing it.
Looking thicker, feeling stronger.  It's tough not seeing ripped abs anymore, but I like the strength gains and enjoy the heavy lifting.  Knowing I can get lean does make it easier when i think about loosing my abs though.

Barbell Curl- 70 x 10/10/10

Squats felt strong, hit 235 for 6 and that's an improvement from last week.  Deadlifts were solid too.  Felt good pulling some weight. Looking to keep pushing and making progress this coming week.

Slight In Press- 170 x 6/6/6/5/4
In Db Fly- 60 x 10/10, 65 x 9
Front Db Raise- 20 x 10/10, 25 x 8
Tricep Cable Ext- 15 x 12/12/12

Solid workout, felt strong and liked the reps I hit.  Chest already feels sore, triceps got a nice pump and are tight too.  Over the next few weeks hoping to have an increase in weights and see some differences.

9/13

Squats- 225 x 6/6/6, 235 x5/5
Leg Press- 360 x 10, 450 x 10/10, 540 x 7
Lying Leg Curl- 80 x 12, 85 x 10, 90 x 9/10
Calf Raises/Presses- 3 x various

Cardio- 10 sprints x 10 seconds

Decent workout.  Hit 225 for 3x6, but could not get past 5 reps at 235...did not want to sacrifice any ROM or form for an extra rep- not worth it.  Leg Presses were strong...not sure exactly how much weight i really was doing---worked out at a different gym, but last session hit 680 for 10 reps, so i'm guessing that 540 was closer to 700 lbs.  Like doing the lying curls, feel more pull/ROM in lying instead of seated.

9/10

Squat- 205 x 10/8, 215 x 7, 225 x 7/7
Deadlift- 295 x 5, 315 x 5, 325 x 5
Wide Lat Pull- 140 x 10/8, 145 x 10, 160 x 7
Barbell Curl- 70 x 10/10/10

Strong workout.  Squats and deads felt good.  Getting deep ROM with the squats and a strong pull on the deads.  Enjoying the heavier lifts right now.  Think I am getting thicker, loosing most of the definition in my ab area.  Trying not to let that bother and just keep thinking about getting thicker and wider.
