Jin's 2017 log

[Gibsonator]

I put on a belt after 365, straps after 405, I have 2 broken fingers on my left hand that fuk with my grip

 

[ECKSRATED]

Lower the weight on those eccentric lifts and get those 5 seconds jin. Its tough going slow and controlled on the way down if you're not used to it trust me I know ive been going thru the same thing

 

[Jin]

Bench day, speed work.

8x3@190
Was able to maintain bar speed through all sets and reps. It's light weight. I'm focusing on a slower eccentric phase, tightening my back and lats as much as possible, raising my chest to the bar and exploding upwards.

Machine shoulder press 4x20
Machine flys 3x15

tried some lateral raises for delts but felt it a bit too much in my elbow. It's getting better but not quickly. I'm just glad I can bench and DL.

SS cardio 25 min

 

[Jin]

Left side erector is cramping bad. Been on NSAIDs and have to foam roll a couple times a day just to keep mobile.

Needless to say I skipped skwaats today.

Boring BB leg workout. Knocked it out in 40 minutes. Legs are easy without doing Squats

All machines racked.

Superset X 5
Curls X 10
extensions X 10

Legpress 5 X 15

Superset X 3
ad X 20
ab X 20

20 min SS cardio

Funny that I can rack all the Cybex machines for multiple reps except for the bicep preacher curl. Can't even do that one once (while 100% healthy).

Been on trt/blast for 7 months now without hcg. Dick is definitely hanging below the balls. Rich Piana has a fair point.

 

[Jin]

Tried to do a back workout sans DL yesterday.

First three sets of chest supported seated rows went well, then tried a bit heavier for a set of 8. Back spasm/cramp.
I hobbled over to a foam roller and took about 10 minutes of rolling for the cramping to stop.

anyway, I spent the rest of the workout trying to find exercises that I could do that didn't upset my back further. Managed a couple sets of machine bench, some incline flys superset with front raises (both sets of 25). Then did 30 min of cardio.

I'm back on a plane today for 17 hours to The States. This will be my last trip home in a couple years. Another wedding. Good timing to take some time off. After the wedding in DC il head to my buddy's beach house near AC at the Jersey shore (shot out to Bundy). I'm brining a mini foam roller on the plane because I'm ****ed if my back cramps up and I don't have one. I don't care what people will think.

I've been really good on my diet while here in Japan. Going to try to not go crazy this week.

How's the elbow?

 

[Jin]

How's the elbow?

Ah, yes.. The good news is the elbow feels much better. Moderate to heavy curls are still out, but I should be able to start Yates rows etc again once I get back to East Asia in a week. Thanks for asking.

 

[Jin]

Lifted with my buddy who got married. Just did the big three with moderate weight and some high rep delt stuff. Now I'm at the jersey shore at my other friends beach house. He has a Rouge rack, but only 305 in weight. Did what I could. Now I'm being lazy and sitting by the pool trying to get a base.

266 this morning. It's been 4 days of complete debauchery. Looking pretty fluffy around the mid section but I have some nice size. Happy 4th!

Back in the land of the Rising Sun.

Hit chest on Friday. Felt pretty weak and jet lagged so I just do a BB routine.
5x10 flat DB
5x10 incline DB

Supersetx3
front raises X 12
lateral raises X 12

cable fly 3x10

Yesterday was DL. If you want to be the best, train like the best:
Sumo DL 3x10 on the minute@315. This was pretty easy so next time I'll go 365.
BB row 6x6@225
Rear delt/trap DB flys 8x3@55lb

I've only been on a PL routine for about a month and I look bigger even though I'm cutting. My weight is steady at btw 260-264. It'd be great to get to 10% without having to drop under 250. That's something that I didn't think I could achieve a couple years ago.

Monster quads

 

[John Ziegler]

Those quads are outrageous

Monster quads

Those quads are outrageous

Thanks. I assure you they are non functional and for esthetics only.

Legs

skwaats
5x5@365

SLDL 3X8@270, 2x6@315

SSx3
curls X 10
ext x10

shakey legs walking out of the gym.

Pro wrestling is big in Japan. At the community center where I workout with senior citizens they had a meet today. I dwarf 98% of those guys, even the westerners. It'd be fun to do.

 

[Jin]

Bench
15x1@315
My bench has lots of opportunity for improvement (trying to phrase things positively here), but I was happy with this and both pecs are holding up under decent weight.
Body weight dips 3x20
Machine flys 3x15
20 min cardio.

 

[Jin]

Haven't really been following the ME/DE of Westside due to all the traveling. I'll start that back up soon.

Sumo Deadlift 5 second eccentric
5x5@315
actually used a stopwatch, 5 seconds down is longer than I thought.

Lat pull down machine but with rope.
4x10

rear DB flys
4x12

cardio 25 minutes

still can't curl a DB without a lot of pain. Got bloods pulled today; I'll know results next week.

 

[NbleSavage]

Jin, you pull sumo for comp or just training it intermittently with conventional?

(I pull sumo - I have no regrets

Well, I've never competed, but most of my efforts have been with conventional and my PR is a conventional pull. I can, however, get my hips lower with the sumo. I've yet to experiment with heavier weight. So for now training intermittently but I haven't written it off as the best option.

 

[Jin]

Yesterday was supposed to be an off day but I went in and did some lighter shoulder work and light biceps. The light biceps with curl bar has helped with the elbow pain.
Also 40 min of cardio.

Today Squats
8x3@270 DE
Clarence Kennedy narrow stance oly squats. Ass-to-ankles.
3x8@225. First time doing these. I liked them. Could feel it in both hams and quads. Will definitely be doing more.
Extentions 15,12,10
20 minutes of cardio.

Pretty limited workout. Got to the gym later than usual and it was packed. Even hotter than normal. I went to the locker room to wring out my shirt and towel half way through the workout bc I was dripping too much sweat.
