He ended up winning and got it splinted by the medics here who told him he needed an xray so the next day he flew to get it xrayed and it was pretty broken. He requires some surgery+screws in his hand The reason i posted that was we had to pack his stuff up(most of it) since he wont be coming back and he had 2 scales... i weighed myself and i've gained 25lbs this year. And I can run now so i wonder how much i weighed when i wasnt doing cardio... probably atleast 220..
****s getting crazy with the riotting/deadly afghans... hopefully i dont get killed. ONly like 19 more days left Anyways, I did workout but i dont have the paper i wrote it down on. will workout today and try to post both tomorrow.
first day of 5's: flat bench: 210lbs 4x5 pullups: 15lbs 5x4<-thought it'd be harder chinups: 15lbs 4x5 BOR: 135lbs 4x5 Incline benchpress: 170lbs 4x5 Shrugs: 210lbs 4x5 Military Press: 115lbs 4x5 standing tricep extensions: 80lbs 4x5 dumbell curls- 35lbs 4x5 barbell curls- 80lbs 4x5 2nd day of 5's: flat bench: 215lbs 4x5 pullups: 15lbs 4x5 chinups: 15lbs 4x5 BOR: 140lbs 4x5 Incline benchpress: 175lbs 4x5 Shrugs: 215lbs 4x5 Military Press: 120lbs 4x5 standing tricep extensions: 85lbs 4x5 dumbell curls- 40lbs 4x5 barbell curls- 85lbs 4x5
flat bench: 220lbs 4x5 pullups: 17.5lbs 4x5 chinups: 17.5lbs 4x5 BOR: 145lbs 4x5 Incline benchpress: 185lbs 4x5 was too lazy to get the weights for 180 so i just did 185 Shrugs: 220lbs 4x5 Military Press: 125lbs 4x5<- was kinda hard standing tricep extensions: 90lbs 4x5<- was doing it with the 'w' shaped bar but only got 1 set. it kind of hurted so i just switched to a 90lbs dumbell dumbell curls- 45lbs 4x5 barbell curls- 90lbs 4x5
flat bench: 225lbs 4x5 pullups: 20lbs 4x5 chinups: 20lbs 4x5 BOR: 150lbs 4x5 Incline benchpress: 185lbs 4x5 Shrugs: 225lbs 4x5 Military Press: 125lbs 4x5<- was easy this time standing tricep extensions: 95lbs 4x5 dumbell curls- 50lbs 4x5 barbell curls- 95lbs 4x5 Flat bench was kinda hard... kinda disappointed. 230 is supposed to be my 5rm this cycle... Since we had to change our schedule due to working with the ana(who've killed 6 us soldiers and wounded 11 so far) now i have to wake up at 3 or 4am to lift and only get a protein shake immediately before. I use to have carbs+protein about an hr before. And I did it towards the end of my day. Not sure if that changes anything. Hopefully i'll be able to pass 230 this cycle.

I decided to use the pulley machine and do tricep extensions with the rope. 3x12 dumbell curls- 55lbs 1x5 was hard and i had to use momentum so i dropped and did 50lbs 3x5 barbell curls- 100lbs 4x5 I should be able to get 235.... not sure if I'll continue with 5's and drop to 3 sets or maybe 3 sets of 4 reps or 3 sets of 3 reps. Any suggestions? Or I can start the 5's over and just add 5lbs to everything i've already done since I wont be SD'ing until its time to leave.

I got back april I did low carb for a while and couldnt progress eventually i ate regularly heres a brief update of my stats: flat- 255lbs i've done 5 reps but after 255 i've increased 5lbs each workout and been doing 5 sets of 3 reps. My last workout was with 265lbs. pullups/chins- 37lbs I do 5 sets of 3 reps BOR- 3x3 225lbs Incline bench- I believe I was doing 235lbs 3x3 mil press is around 170lbs 3x3 barbell curl is around 140lbs i'm about to get into training so i expect my weights to go down a bit. I wont do SD since we'll be going to training for a week or two so I wont be able to lift. I'll just lift up until that time
