« on: January 26, 2014, 11:15:43 AM »Haha thanks buddy. Here's what I've been doing for the past month. To start with, I've been doing so many squats that you wouldn't even believe it. Every day was leg day and something else; like shoulders, chest or back. I had to neglect my deadlifts for the time being due to my absolute lack of energy, but luckily my lift didn't decrease because I perform squats with a wide stance. After that, I rested my legs for a week and then I came back to them today. Somehow, I did ~9 sets of 8-12 reps and it felt like nothing. When I exit the gym, I felt barely fatigued - sorta like I'd just been gentle jogging for a straight hour.shieeet, sounds like something I need to try lmao, my squats are stuffe. How wide are your feet? And do you do lowbar or highbar? I think I have a squat phobia :(
So now I'm right back to training chest, then legs, then shoulders, then back and repeat. I put in bicep and tricep work usually on shoulders/back day respectively. My forearms are the result of good forearm genetics + incessant deadlifting in the past. I don't really train them directly.
For shoulders, which I consider a strong point, this is my usual routine:
WARM-UP: 30kg or 32.5kg per hand, depending on energy levels for 5-8 reps
WARM-UP: 35kg for 5-8 reps
WARM-UP: 37.5kg for 3-5 reps
MAX: 40kg for 3-5 reps
Afterwards, I perform anterior and lateral raises with a moderate weight for about 30 reps each arm.
For my back, I prioritise deadlifts. I also make sure I fit in some barbell and dumbbell rows (which I perform alternately) and lat pulldowns.
For my legs, I do squats and lots of them, calf raises and inclined tread-milling. Sometimes I also do leg extensions and leg curls. I will get around to doing front squats when I perfect the form.

My bench is sitting comfortably at 115kg.
My squat is 140kg. And today is leg day, hoorah!
My deadlift is around 170kg still, but I haven't been deadlifting in a long time as I was bringing up my squat.
My shoulder press is 40kg per hand. I would probably try for a heavier PR if my gym had any heavier dumbbells.
And here are my forearms, which have been surprisingly okay considering my lack of deadlifting.
-
Body fat sitting comfortably at roughly 12%. I'm bulking right now but it's slow; buying food is tough because I'm down on money.
Gym's been stuffe for me lately, been going on and off (which sucks extra hard considering home gym and all), lacking motivation :( Probably gone slightly down in my PR's lol

still in need of a graphics card for my new build, thinking either 780 or r9 290.
OCUK's january sale has http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-239-MS and ebuyer has http://www.ebuyer.com/583808-asus-r9-290-4gb-gddr5-dual-dvi-hdmi-displayport-pci-e-graphics-card-r9290-4gd5
Should I get either one of them or should I wait for a better price drop? I don't mind waiting until like summer (exams and such soon so I won't be gaming much till after anyway)

Thinking of turning my old computer into a little media streaming thingy, forgotten what the specs were but it has a decent cpu/8gb ram. Can someone suggest me a nice, cheap graphics card I can use for it? It's current one is a Nvidia Quadro NVS 420.
Thanks
