    Whats up everyone? I am BB2K, I hired Machine Training Solutions to help me reach a few goals that I have set for myself and with Marcs help i know I can reach them.

    My goals:

    Take the RAW bench Press record for my age and weight group
    Hit 500+ on my squat
    Lean out and be as lean as I can while keeping my bodyweight between 200-220lbs

    Marc has designeda diet and training routine for me and I feel it will work perfectly for me.

    I started my new routine today. It felt great!! The weight seems light as hell when it normally feels like a ton. Small changes can make a BIG difference.

    CHEST
    Flat BB Press: 7 x 5 with 260lbs .. paused each rep

    TRICEPS
    CGBP: 3 x 10-12 with 205lbs
    Press Downs: 3 x 10-12 with 40, 50, 60 (this machine is really hard and 40lbs feels like 120 on the other machine, less pulleys)

    CALVES
    Seated Calf Raise: 4 x 15 with 225lbs

    ABS
    Crunches: 3 x 25
    Planks: Front and each side.. held for 1 min each 2 sets

    PRE- Workout Mix: 1 scoop Dextrose, 1 scoop XTEND

    Felt like a million bucks today, damn fine workout!!

  13. BB2K Active Member

    Fantastic chest and tricep workout today. Strength was really good, the pump was insane and energy was pefect. Only downside is that both my shoulders are sore as hell. Have been all week. I assume from all the heavy sets nd/or the way I sleep on them. All I can say is that they hurt and its hard to lift my arms to the sides. :mad:

    Decided to hit chest, delts and triceps again today. I was suppose to take sunday off but got bored and did chest... that wasnt my schedule. So i got back on track today. Felt strong and pumped. On my last set I asked a guy to lift off for me.. BIG mistake. Damn fool almost killed me. He lifted off on the count of 3 but he snatched it up so hard and fast the bar litterally came out of my hands!! I had to catch it, control it and then rep it. Good lord.. how hard is a lift off to do for someone? I was going for 6 reps and on rep 3 i got a bad cramp in my right glute.. wow! talk about losing focus. lol But i got my 6 reps!!

    Not a great day for squats today. Went in the gym READY. I felt fkn awesome. My mind was into it, my body was ready for war but misfortune always seems to find me now and then. Today was 7 x 5 with 315lbs. I was having a damn fine workout but set 5 was the last set id do pain free.

    *Worksets
    7 x 5 with 315lbs
    *All sets were going great but on the 5th rep of set 5 i felt a small "pull" in my left quad.. on the side. The last 2 reps felt really heavy and harder to do. So, i sat down, sooled off and tried set 6. By the 3rd rep i knew i had an injury of some sort and stopped there. So, again i rested about 5min then tried set 7 and on the very first rep i felt way to much pain to do another rep. This is the same exact spot i injured on my right leg doing leg presses back in March. I just pray im not out of the gym from this!
