Thread: MarvelNerd Old Dog Training Log

3rd week of program I will be increasing my sets to 4 reps. May drop the reps for a week or so . Then increase the reps back to 12 per set as I increase volume.

De load should fall on week 7 then I will begin to include intensity techniques.



Leg extensions 4x12 150

Standing calf raises 4x12 315
did one set of 17 which was failure made the next two sets a push to get twelve

Smith Machine Squats 4x10 295

Dumbbell Lunges 3x8 50 lbs
Good morning off pins 3x10 205 lbs

These were a superset

Cable standing leg curl 4x10 50 lbs

Seated calf press 4x10 275 lbs

Prone leg curl 150x12
150x15, 150 x10 partials, 20 second iso hold

I can feel the extra fatigue from the increased volume

Here is a picture of the mag grips. I really like these. To the point I almost bought more and donated them to the gym. Still think I might.

Took my trt 100 mg of Isovet test e every 5 days

Hack squat calf raise 275 3x15 2 sec hold on concentric

Romanian Deadlift 275lbs 4x12

My lower back was bothering me so i didn’t go to hard.
Skipped rack pulls because lower back was too tight. Probably didn’t warm up well enough.

I have started including a carb recovery with cluster-dextrin in it. Mid workout.

According to John Meadows as he grew older it really helped his recovery. I am giving it a shot.

Today’s lesson: college move in days are much tougher than the first day of school.

I am picking up a few attachments. If you are older or younger and your grip becomes a limiting factor in lifting these are made for you.

Well folks. I am the proud owner of all these grips…sort of. I actually took them to local gym. They are all there for all the locals to enjoy. I really think these mag grips just hit different.

Todays cardio

60 minutes on the MTB trails

Trails were slick but it was nice to get out and ride.
