Building shoulder's of a greek god.

Well today is another day another muscle trained. Today I woke up early and trained shoulders and traps. I have a bad right shoulder (AC JOINT) which really limits me in range of motion and strength, but I work around it. I don't go to heavy since I got the injury but I try to concentrate on the shoulders and push out a good number of repetitions while squeezing the muscle. I started the morning with a protein shake and I would of made oatmeal but I was in a rush. As soon as I got to the gym I began with stretches and just getting my blood to start pumping and circulating.

Side Delt raises: 3 sets of 15,15,Failure

Front Delt raises: 3 sets of 15,15,Failure

Sitting Rear Delt raises: 3 sets of 15,12,Failure

Hammer Strength Shoulder Presses: 3 sets of 15,15,Failure

Dumbbell Shrugs: 3 sets of 15,15,15

Leg Raises (Abs): 3 sets of 30! 

This isn't a lot but if you can work this right then it should be enough! Remember to squeeze and have a good form while supporting yourself and the weight. I see way to many people in the gym with horrible form and pushing way to much weight which messes up their form and can't support themselves, resulting in an injury and not targeting the muscle. Stay hydrated and stretch! Remember don't go to the gym with the ego of a bad ass because you will  only embarrass yourself. I get a lot of people who come to me saying they can lift more weight than me. I just sit there with a smile on my face because while your there breaking your back, Im doing weight I can handle and have great form and resulting in the physique I have now ( I'm not perfect but I got a decent physique).  Stay safe!

Back in NJ!! Today I pumped my arms!!

What's up everyone!!!! Long time since I've updated this site. Well I'm now back in NJ currently getting myself together. I've been hitting the gym pretty hard with the help of my cousin Michael W. Marcano. I've have been setting my eyes on competing in Men's Physique by next year but let's see what happens. Today was a nice arm day for me and I left the gym with my veins popping out my bicep's and sore tricep's. I took my protein shake in the morning and after my workout. Remember to stay hydrated and stretch!!! 

Arms! workout layout

Tricep Cable pull down's: 3 sets of 15,15,Failure (Go till you can't no more)

Preacher Curl Machine: 3 sets of 15,12,Failure (Go till you can't no more)

Tricep Rope pull down's: 3 sets of 15,15, Failure (Go till you can't no more)

E-Z Bar Curls: 3 sets of 15,12,Failure (Go till you can't no more)

Tricep Push Down machine: 3 sets of 15,12,15

Dumbbell Curls:  3 sets of 15,15,Failure

Tricep Dumbbell overhead extensions: 3 sets of 12,12,12

Bicep Cable Curls: 3 sets of 15,12,10

I used the Bicep, Tricep, Bicep ,Tricep technique to even out my arms. So far I've gotten a better result when I have my cousin around to help me push out those last reps which will target those muscle fibers. When I wrote hitting the last set till failure it means to hit that set hard with control! You keep going till you feel you can;t anymore, Once you reach this level where you can't push anymore, you push out  1-2 more reps!!!! Remember it's not how much weight you can lift, it's about having a good weight where you can control it without  struggle and maintain proper form. If your struggling and have bad form not only will you be subjected to an injury but you will fail at targeting the muscle you want to hit. Anyways thank you for reading and coming soon I will post pictures of the exercises performed.

Trying to build tree trunk legs!

What's up everyone! Well it's been a while sine I wrote anything on here since I have been extremely busy. I will be moving n NJ in 3-4 weeks, so I been trying to get things situated. Well today I woke up took my multi vitamins, fish oil, and Gamma Labs Gamma-O testosterone booster which Gamma Labs has sent me for free to review and log. I also took Giant Sports delicious vanilla protein which this company has also sent to me for free to review and log. I wanna thank these two companies for the opportunity! I ate oatmeal and had the carbs and protein to hit the gym up! 

As usual I stretched before I started any weight training! and also had a bottle of water which I refill and drink about a gallon. (Stretching and hyrdation is extremely important).

I'm gonna type up today's workout! ( I used a weight belt in all these exercises to prevent back injury, but if you have bad form and posture then the belt is useless! Make sure your form and posture is done right to prevent injury)

Smith Machine Squats 7 sets (20,15,12,10,10,10,10)

Dumbbell Lunges 4 sets (15,15,15,10) on each leg! So one leg gets 15 reps and so will the other leg!

Romanian Deadlifts 3 sets (10,10,10)

Standing Calf Raises 4 sets (15,15,15,20)

Sitting Calf Raises 3 sets (15,15,20)

Leg Extension Machine 3 sets (12,12,12)

Seated Leg Curl Machine 4 sets (10,12,12,15)

Well this is the workout I did today. Remember to increase weight after each set! Use weights that your comfy with and won;t ruin you posture or form! Squeeze the muscle on every REP!!!! And have something to consume after working out (Protein shake) because you will need to replenish your energy and help recover the muscle fibers you have broken down.

From there I go to the gym and by that time I come home, shower and then go to sleep. But we are about done with the cars so I will be back on this. Please refer to later posts. I still follow the same routines but I just tweak them a little from week to week.

Chiseling Chest

What's up everyone! Well today was my first day to getting back into the routine. Today I worked on chest along with half of America who usually does chest on Monday.  I worked on the upper part of my pecs today since I need a little more mass. I got to the gym and started of with stretching out my chest and warming up my shoulders (Rotator Cuff). After stretching and warming up I did a set of push ups to get my blood running.


Incline Dumbbell Presses: 4 sets of 15,12,8 Dropset 10


Flat Dumbbell Presses: 4 sets of 12,10,8 Dropset 8


Incline Dumbbell Flyes: 3 sets of 10,10,10


Incline Hammer Strength Chest Press: 3 sets of 12,8,6 (My shoulder wasn't to good on this exercise so I went alittle easy on this one)


(PUSH UPS IN BETWEEN)

Hammer Strength Chest Press: 2 sets of 12,10


(PUSH UPS IN BETWEEN)


Pec Deck Flyes: 3 sets of 12,10,8


Cable flyes: 3 sets of 12,10,8


Well this is what I accomplished today. My rotator cuff wasn't on my side today but I managed to get my workout in. Remember!!! to squeeze your chest at it's peak of the exercise and do your sets till failure. Stay hydrated and eat something within 45 mins after your workout.
