Jeff finally loses 40lbs and doesn't lose strength challenge. - Page 26

Maybe because you did a swollertrophy workout, muscle gain is > than fat loss.

Just kidding. Stop weighing yourself every day. Meausure your waist every 3 weeks. If its going down, you winning. If its not, then keep making changes until its going down.

Weighing yourself every day is fine, as long as it doesn't affect you psychologically, which it sounds like it may in this case.

On the flip side weighing yourself only once a week might have even more detrimental effects. I dunno, just stop whining about variance imo, and make sure your measurements are fairly correct.

7/26/12- Legs

Squat
5x110
5x140
3x165
5x180
5x210
8x235

Leg press angled
5x15x2plates a side

Leg curls
5x15x100

Leg extensions
4x12x100

Didn't have an ab wheel at my gym, probably will have to buy one. Holy crap leg press is hard when you use full rom. This workout was actually a lot harder than I had anticipated. I think I will stick with it because it still has a compound movement at the beginning which I really feel dirty if I get away from.

You can just use a barbell loaded with small plates as an ab roller in a pinch

I almost did that, and then I didn't. Next time.

Shoulders on fire sucks. I've had good luck with the broomstick stretches and then mashing my upper pec and shoulder with it.

Lowering the weight to non aidsian levels of form would prolly help 2

That's what I've been doing esp with military press and other Db exercises. I want the form to be perfect on everything.

Okay wow my arms hurt like Hell. I cannot extend my right arm fully without it being extremely painful. I'm never doing curls again if this is what is supposed to happen.

lol. Was this your first time curling in a while? If so, doing new exercises at 50% of your max the first time is a good rule of thumb to avoid sickening DOMS. I just like to throw new stuff in at the end of a workout as an intro. It will obv not happen every time.

When I used to bro it out, preacher curls with full extension used to really hit the bottom part of the bicep (towards the elbow). Nothing much to do but stretch it out and maybe ice it a little.
