Buckimscl's quest for more muscle.....

[buckimscl]

Well here is another journal for everyone's consideration. I am currently about 260 and my plan is to compete next spring. I am 43 for those of you who don't know and have been training for 5 years. Today was chest/tri's so here is the rundown and numbers

J-curl warmups for the rotator cuff
Inc db press: 45x20, 60x12, 100x10, 110x6
Flat db flyes w/feet up: 30x12, 40x10, 50x10
Dips leaning forward: bwx8x3
Cable cross: 50x15, 60x12
Tri Pressdowns: 100x15, 120x12, 150x10 3 second eccentric
OH db press: 70x12, 100x10, 140x6
Db kickbacks: 25x12, 30x10, 35x8
Rev grip pressdowns: 80x12, 90x10, 100x8

Hammer abs: 50x20, 60x15, 70x15
Just threw those in cause I had a minute or two to kill before I left. I am currently using protein, bcaa's, multi, efa's and a pre-workout drink from dymatize. I'll throw up a pic or two and update this to chart my progress and try and keep myself accountable.

[BEAST MODE]

Nice workout bucki! Doesn't it suck trying to hoist a 100+ lb dumbbell above your head for OH extensions? I have to get someone to hoist it up for me at the gym now. Once I get up to 110 or more, I just can't get it up to my shoulder w/out wearing myself out.

Good luck on your quest. I'll be following along. Any idea what show you wanna do?

[buckimscl]

I am going to do the Gem city Classic in Dayton OH in 2010. I was going to do it this year but had some things get in the way. I will not be stopped next year though!

[BEAST MODE]

Hell yeah bro! What's the date? I can't find it on google. It took me to a fucking billiards site.

[buckimscl]

gemcityclassic.hostjava.info

Here it is. I'm going this year to check things out.

[BEAST MODE]

Awesome. I need to decide on what show I'm doing next year so I can go get an idea of the competition level this year.

[Sistersteel]

Go bucki! GO!

[buckimscl]

That's why I am going. Hey if you go to that link there is a fbb on there that GX loves. Her name is Raquel Rivera Hill and she trains at my gym and she is DDS. Dayum!

[buckimscl]

Go bucki! GO!

Thanks Sis. I knew you'd show up :D

You are a strong dude Bucki, keep this one going man. Good stuff.

[buckimscl]

You are a strong dude Bucki, keep this one going man. Good stuff.

Hey thanks Steve!

[buckimscl]

Well here is day 2. The workout was a little less energetic than usual I had zero carbs prior to wo and I felt it. Had the usual eggs for breakfast but forgot my carbs. I had my multi, and pre wo drink and off to the gym.

pulldown warm ups 120x10x2
WG pulldowns: 150x12, 180x10, 210x8, 240x8
bentover bb rows: 225x10, 275x8, 275x6
WG seated rows: 120x12, 150x10, 180x8, 210x8
Straight arm pulldowns: 80x15, 100x10, 110x8
Precor preacher: 60x15, 80x12, 100x10, 120x8
Dual incline db curls: 30x10, 40x8, 45x6
Db 1 arm preacher: 35x8, 40x8
crossbody hammers: 35x10, 40x10, 45x8
Db wrist curls 40x15, 40x12

The workout definitely lacked the usual "pop". I got a good pump but it was alabor to say the least. I will post some pix this weekend to let you see how bad I look prior to starting the "big cut" .

[BEAST MODE]

Nice workout bucki! For being so-so, that's some pretty strong work.

[Gerb]

Nice back work Bucki.

My back is a lagging part for sure, what are your thoughts on building thinckness and lower lat width? (keep in mind I have torn discs so I am somewhat limited). My lats are real high and when I turn sideways I disappear as well. I feel like it is somewhat genetic as far as shape but I also know I have plenty of room for growth and I am far from tapped out.

[buckimscl]

Hey Steve. I have focused on my lower lats with underhand pulldowns and they are usually part of my routine. I try and alternate between width workouts and thickness workouts for my back.

[buckimscl]

Well here are some pics taken today and be easy. I know I am way too fat around the middle. I am currently about 260 and need to get down around 230 or so before I start my cut.

[buckimscl]

Delts/tris today. Had some protein and my multi and some pre workout stuff prior to.

Warm up with some light weight db laterals
Seated Db press: 45x10, 60x10, 75x8, 90x6
Hammer shoulder: 90x10, 180x8, 220x6
Uni db lateral: 25x10, 30x8, 35x6
Upright smith row: 90x10, 120x8, 140x8
Rear db laterals: 35x10, 40x8, 45x7
OH rope extensions: 70x10, 90x10, 110x8
V-bar pressdowns: 130x10, 150x10, 170x10, 190x8 (150xf) (120xf)
D handle crossbody: 40x10, 50x10, 60x10, 65x8
Db ext ss/ 25x10, 35x8, 40x8
bench dips 10x3

Pretty decent workout. Met a guy today who may be doing the show with me next spring. He is 50+ so he'll be in the next class. I may have someone to push me and hold me accountable daily basis in the gym.

[GirlyMuscle]

Woohoo! Pics! I always love pics.

Looking good bucki...you certainly have some mass there. How tall are you?

[buckimscl]

I'm 6'0 on the nose. The pics suck because I always take with my phone. I need to take some with the digital and then post some better quality pix.

[Sistersteel]

Well here are some pics taken today and be easy. I know I am way too fat around the middle. I am currently about 260 and need to get down around 230 or so before I start my cut.


Well aren't you the ladies man bucki :)

Baby steps darlin. You are doing GREAT! I'm here to support you every step of the way!


SS

[buckimscl]

[Gerb]

Pretty decent workout. Met a guy today who may be doing the show with me next spring. He is 50+ so he'll be in the next class. I may have someone to push me and hold me accountable daily basis in the gym.

[buckimscl]

Nice training. Close Grip Bench after all that has gotta suck.

Dude it did! I got 5 reps on the last set and felt like my arms were going to explode!

[musclegoddess65]

Nice work.. I tried some dymatize samples I got at Europa and the chocolate mint protein is awesome!

[BEAST MODE]

Nice workout bucki!

[Diabetic Muscle]

Good workout. About how long does it take you to power through one of these sessions?

[buckimscl]

Nice work.. I tried some dymatize samples I got at Europa and the chocolate mint protein is awesome!

I like the Dymatize stuff. Their blueberry muffin 12 hours protein is pretty good as well. Thanks for stopping by Kimbo!

[buckimscl]

Nice workout bucki!

Thanks bro!

[buckimscl]

Good workout. About how long does it take you to power through one of these sessions?

It takes me typically about 45-55 minutes to get my workout in. I don't take a great deal of time in between sets. I work out alone so there is very little drag time. Thanks for checking in.

[buckimscl]

Well in my current split Tuesday is back/bi's day. Had some no-xplode pre workout and went to the gym.

WG pulldowns: 135x12, 165x10, 225x6, 240x6, 210x8
T-Bar: 90x12, 135x8, 180x8, 160x10
Cable Row: 180x8, 225x8, 195x10
Rope Pulldown: 105x10, 135x10, 112.5x12
St. arm pulldown: 70x12, 90x12, 110x12

Ez bar curls: 70x12, 70x10, 90x6, 100x6, 80x8
Ez bar low cable curl: 80x12, 90x10, 130x8, 130x8, 110x10
Inc db: 35x8, 35x8, 30x10
Alt Hammers:40x12, 35x12, 30x12
The last set of hammers those 30's felt like 60's!!! My arms were freakin done!!! Pumped and shot!
So there are these two guys in the gym who both are soft (fat) and they are critiquing my workout but not actually speaking to me. This is priceless!!! I hear the one explaining how too much muscle and you lose your flexibility and I thought you'll never have that problem. He's doing seated db curls with either 15's or 20's and laughing his way through the entire set and bullshitting! This guy is probably 190 and fat with man tits and giving his obviously ignorant workout partner the finer points of training. I love this stuff!!!

[musclegoddess65]

hey bucki... like the new signature :) I'm honored! I hope to met up with SS someday seems like a completely awesome woman! She'll kill me in a workout but hell I'll give it a go if the opportunity presents itself...

and you can lose flexibility so just make sure to stretch... gotta love the gym buttheads...

[GirlyMuscle]

[buckimscl]

Hey Erin!

[GirlyMuscle]

Are you going to make it to Kimmerz show? We're gonna do a big cookout the next day. You should come.

[buckimscl]

I am trying to work that out. First week of Sept right?? I thought about trying to show up and suprise her.

[GirlyMuscle]

Sept 5th is the show, 6th will be the cookout. I think this will be a great opportunity for all of us to meet face to face. And lots of fun, too!!!

[buckimscl]

That's what I thought. Am I gonna have to share a bed with someone??? :) I should be down to about 240 by then so I won't take up much room. LMAO

[musclegoddess65]

That's what I thought. Am I gonna have to share a bed with someone??? :) I should be down to about 240 by then so I won't take up much room. LMAO

I know I won't take up much room... we can have one big dog pile in my queen size bed :o)

seriously somehow, someway, there will be room for who ever shows up.. I will borrow air matteress if needed... and a co-worker has cots...

[GirlyMuscle]

It'll be fine...we'll get hotel rooms, sleep at your apartment, sleep in Geo's living room if we have to. We're gonna have one HELLUVA a party!

[buckimscl]

It'll be fine...we'll get hotel rooms, sleep at your apartment, sleep in Geo's living room if we have to. We're gonna have one HELLUVA a party!

Who said anything about hotel rooms:D I'm working on something here. lmao you know I'm jk!

[Diabetic Muscle]

[buckimscl]

I like it. I just bought some more I also use Dymatize energized expand which I like. Thanks

[BEAST MODE]

Great workout Bucki. I need some no explode...using superpump 250 right now and loving it but I miss the explode. I may have to get some when I get back in the gym. Only 4 more days!

[musclegoddess65]

Who said anything about hotel rooms:D I'm working on something here. lmao you know I'm jk!

[musclegoddess65]

[buckimscl]

[BEAST MODE]

Nice work bro. 270 on the hammer is heavy. I managed 4 reps w/ it and it was a bitch!

[musclegoddess65]

gotta love them early AM gym peeps!

Rock it babes...

[Gerb]

Nice training Bucki, you and I are in the same schedule it would appear (or pretty close).

[buckimscl]

Thanks all. I did quads this am and was not feeling it at all. It stormed all night last night and hearing that kept waking me up so I slept like crap which in turn led to a piss poor workout. I don't think I am even going to post it. Thanks for checking in and it's arms tomorrow and the Friday night mixer for my class reunion. Got pump up the guns for the show tomorrow night :)

[buckimscl]

I gotta share this. So yesterday I am at the gym doing arms. Working on a new arm program and a guy who I see around comes over to me and starts making conversation. He tells me I am looking thick and I tell him I am starting to lose a little weight as well as making sure I am getting enough protein. Well, a few minutes later I am doing bb wrist curls and he walks over and kind of leans in and says, "What are you taking?" I told him nothing just trying to eat better and being more diligent with my supps. He says, "No, really what are you taking?" I said, "Dude, I not taking anything!" He rolls his eyes and says, "Ok, whatever." and then he walks away. It's days like that that make you think your doing something right.

[buckimscl]

Here was my training session from yest. These were all supersets:
I warmed up bi/tris and got the elbows loosened up.
Ez bar barbell curls: 70x6, 70x6, 70x6
Skulls: 80x8, 80x8, 80x8

Ez bar preacher:80x8, 80x8, 80x8
Db oth ext: 85x8, 100x8, 110x8

db curls: 30x10, 35x10, 40x10
oh db singles: 30x10, 35x10, 40x10

Low single cable curls: 40x12, 50x12, 60x12
V bar: 140x12, 160x12, 190x12

bb wrist curls: 65x12, 65x12, 65x10, 65x10 These roll all the way down to my fingertips
Alt hammers: 40x12, 45x12, 50x12, 55x12

Arms were freakin pumped and veiny!!! Had the post workout usual. Ok so my class reunion was last night. It went pretty well. I drank some last night which I normally don't do. I got some incredible looks and comments and a lot of questions about training, nutrition, and all sorts of stuff. I think a lot of the girls I went to school with were shocked. I was pretty decent sized in HS but most 43 years olds aren't built like me. :) Have a good weekend everyone!

My training partner threw up today!!!:D I love days like this! Felt good today. Diet is going well. Right now I am just trying to limit the bad foods and really focus on the good stuff. Shooting for 240 by Sept. 11th(my b-day).

[BEAST MODE]

Very nice work bucki! Do you have a set number of cheats for the week?

[musclegoddess65]

damn worked your partner hard did ya??

[tonyaskew]

Excellent looking back work. Heavy weight on the BO row too. Those are one of my fav's....

[buckimscl]

Very nice work bucki! Do you have a set number of cheats for the week?

Nah, not right now. I have been cheating too damn much for too long.


damn worked your partner hard did ya??

Hell yeah!! I think it was the bent over rows!!

[buckimscl]

Excellent looking back work. Heavy weight on the BO row too. Those are one of my fav's....

If you want thickness it's one of those exercises you can't avoid. I believe it's a core exercise just like bench, squat and deads!

[BEAST MODE]

I love me some BB rows! I don't do them every week just to give my lower back a rest, but those and DB rows are definitely staples for thickness!

[Gerb]

Nice training Bucki!

[buckimscl]

Well today was a little day called leg day:D. Had my preworkout protein (Isolyze Cherry Vanilla 2 scoops) and some no-xplode about 30 minutes prior! Let's roll!!

[BEAST MODE]

Very nice leg work bucki! Heavy and hard! Wish we could get one in together. You are as hardcore as I am when it comes to training legs. That's hard to find.

[buckimscl]

[buckimscl]

nice training bucki. that session looks like a killer.

[buckimscl]

He's 15. We did legs yest and he kept saying how his legs were killing him. :) I guess the old man can still go for a little..

[BEAST MODE]

Well if he's training w/ you, he's gonna be a beast on the field! I smell some varsity time this year!

[buckimscl]

I hope so. He shoudld start on JV this year and may even sniff a little varsity time.

[buckimscl]

Well it's the beginning of the training week for me. I joined the local ymca more for the family than for me. I kept my membership @ my old gym though. I found out one thing for sure that I am not nor do I look like your typical Y member. LMAO!!

I am walking around not talking to anyone and getting a serious workout in. I gotta have some tunes to train with. Have a good Monday all!!

Thanks Rob.

[BEAST MODE]

Hey, I'm a volume kind of guy. :D

Me too bro...love it!

[buckimscl]

I just never bought into the whole HIT and DC philosophy. I know it works for some but I guess I am too old growing up in the 80's and we rocked the volume workouts. Hey we used to hit everybody part about 3 times a week! Damn were we stupid!!

[robert da strongman]

i can mix both and seems to work.
but my legs need the volume

[buckimscl]

I always thought Mentzer was just too dogmatic about his approach. Genetics are different from person to person and the type of training their respective bodies will respond to is also different.

[BEAST MODE]

I just never bought into the whole HIT and DC philosophy. I know it works for some but I guess I am too old growing up in the 80's and we rocked the volume workouts. Hey we used to hit everybody part about 3 times a week! Damn were we stupid!!

I have tried just about everything, and volume seems to work the best. I used to go by the 3-4 sets per exercise, 3 exercises per bodypart and it just did not work. I've trained everything 2-3 times a week, high intensity, etc. Volume just works for me. Heavy and hard all the way through. No dogging it.

[Gerb]

That is a heck of an arm workout bucki. I like volume training too.

Pretty good workout all in all.

Hey North. I am currently on a long bulk (that's the nice way of saying I'm too damn fat). I am about 255-260 depending on the day. I will be 44 in Sept and I'm about 18-20%bf. No comp history but I am looking at a show in the spring of next year.

[buckimscl]

hope she gets well.

Thanks Rob will do.

Not sure if I should be taking some sort of joint support or not. I never have. Any thoughts or suggestions?

[BEAST MODE]

Nice training bucki. I'd say give Animal Flex a try. It's the best joint support I've ever used. I'm about to order some myself.

[robert da strongman]

universal...the makers of animal...have a joint support also. has similar ingredients and costs way less

[BEAST MODE]

What's it called Rob? Have you tried both?

[robert da strongman]

What's it called Rob? Have you tried both?

jointment OS

havent tried animal

[BEAST MODE]

I'll look into it. Flex was awesome so I've got something to compare it to.

[robert da strongman]

I'll look into it. Flex was awesome so I've got something to compare it to.

its the basic stuff...glucosamine, chondroitin, shark cartilage
and way cheaper than the flex...but still universal

[BEAST MODE]

The Flex, if I remember right, had several other ingredients that seemed to make a difference over just the basic stuff.

[buckimscl]

Well the week of training is over with. The wife is feeling a lot better and it's time for me to get fuckin serious again! I have been on an unscheduled bulk for the last two weeks eating like shit and feeling the effects of it. Today I did some delts and arms to finish out the week. I'm not even going to post the #'s because today was not a day I felt like even going to the gym. It's back on clean train next week and then we'll go from there. Have a good weekend all.

Thanks bro. Your damn Cardinals beat up on my Reds again!!

[BEAST MODE]

Pujols hardly even did anything yesterday too! That's the kind of production we had in April. So we're definitely capable of doing it every day. Why we don't is a mystery to me.

The Reds just need some more hitting. Damn Arroyo throwing those F'n breaking balls over and over!!:mad: Get him out of the damn rotation!

[BEAST MODE]

Man you sound like a Cards fan. Our offense blows dude! Last weekend was a fluke IMO. And Wellemeyer is a joke. Why LaRussa and Duncan keep letting him pitch is beyond me. He's had maybe 4 good outings this year. Thompson isn't much better, and Piniero is shaky at times.

[buckimscl]

Today is an off day after back on Sunday and chest on Mon. Both are sore. The leg workout last week was good. Lots of pain :) and that's a good thing. I should have the pics up by Thursday.

Keep killing it at the gym, bro. Don't ruin your workout because you feel you need to be polite when people try to talk to you, or put your head phones in and stare at the floor.

Keep posting your progress.:beerbang:

Yesterday was a pretty random training day which I very seldom do. I trained: traps/abs/calves/hams. It was a good workout and I am giving my quads a break this week because I think when I get some of this weight off my quads may overpower my upper body. So I am training quads about once every 10 days and everything else weekly. Here's the numbers from yest:

db shrugs: 85x20, 100x20, 110x20, 115x15, 125x15
Hammer crunch: 4x20
calves supersetted seated and standing calf extensions
lying hams: 80x20, 100x15, 120x12, 140x10
Seated hams: 90x15, 105x10, 115x10

No cardio today but I'll get it this weekend.

Great Workouts!!!! :)

[buckimscl]

Well I went to the gym and hit arms today even though I keep saying I am doing a 2/1/2/2 split I went anyway. I totally blasted the arms and a sometime training partner did part of the workout with me before work. My arms were swole and veiny. Don't have my journal with me for the numbers but I did weigh (against my better judgement) and I am down 6lbs. It was a late afternoon weigh in so apparently the diet and cardio are working :). I know it will slow down and it's primarily H2O but that's okay!

[Sistersteel]

Go bucki! :)

Good workout. Had my kre-alkalyn and post workout stuff and gone to work!

[BEAST MODE]

Good work bro!

[buckimscl]

Off day today. Will get in some cardio this evening. I tried Muscletech Anabolic Halo yesterday. That was different. Felt sort of cooling on the body post workout. Tasted like shit (fruit punch arctic). Glad it was only a sample and I didn't pay for it.

[BEAST MODE]

Muscletech products are the nastiest tasting things ever. I had some Nitro Tech Hardcore that I got as a free sample w/ a bb.com order, so I took it to a ball game a couple weeks ago and drank it there. I almost threw it up on the guy in front of me. It was so disgusting. Everything they make now tastes shitty. Seems like back in the day when I used Cell Tech and Nitro Tech they were actually good.

[buckimscl]

Maybe you just didn't know any better. :) I used to use "dat dere cell tech" (shout out to bb.com forums) and never was crazy about it. They must sell alot because they advetise the shit out of every product they've got. Hey nice pick up on Holliday! Looks like my Reds are sucking ass again.

[BEAST MODE]

I saw yesterday that the Yankees want Arroyo.

And yes Holliday has been a very nice addition, and surprisingly Lugo has been too. DeRosa is coming around also and Ankiel's bat is coming back to life.

[buckimscl]

If Arroyo breaking stuff is diving he is fine but anything else looks like he's throwing bp. The Cards have def made some nice pickups this season. I will give them that they always seem to make a move if they can.

[BEAST MODE]

They make moves, but normally it's from the junk bin. This year has turned out to be 2 definite quality moves in DeRosa and Holliday. We'll see about Lugo. The Red Sux had just sent him down to Pawtucket before we got him. But he has definitely been productive since he came over. The Reds just kinda fell off after the break though man...

They got no offense. They are 34-12 when they get a quality start this season so the pitching and bullpen are holding up their end but the problem is they got Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips and uh....uh....uh....(cricket's chirping). Well you get the idea.

I saw a Votto highlight on SC this morning. He got ejected last night huh?

I think the losing is getting to him. He is arguing a lot of called strikes and check swing from the first and third base umps. I don't know but it seems like the strike zone is getting bigger and wider and there is zero consistency from one crew to the next.

I've noticed that a lot. The umps last night at the Cards/Dodgers game were awful. No consistency and one completely obsurd call at first base when Carp tagged out the runner by 2 feet!
