RE: Joe Franco's training journal for March!


Chest and tricep workout:

The hits keep on coming. Solid workout to the new round. The pump was instant this time, as I think the increased dose of PRIME is kicking in, as that is the only change in the supplements. Felt eager throughout the workout. Added a really old school movement, the db close bench press. This hits the triceps nicely. Will be making gains next time.

Flat db press: 3 warms, 105/6 110/5,4
Slight in db press: 95/6,6 75/10,9
Flat bar press with chains: 4 sets to failure
In Db Fly: 45/11 50/9
Reverse pressdown: 2 warms, 55/9 57/8
Db close bench press: 2 warms, 50/9,9
1 arm rope pressdown: 15/12,12

17 min cardio

Thanks Dave.  Major fast workout. Happy with the progress in the curls. Almost 100 percent




Quads and calves workout:

POW, blasted dem quads this morning, and first thing in the morning workout.
Made gains across the board and was charged up. The plan was to stick with the same weight scheme for squats, and do a couple of sets with 360, but I bumped things up!
Nailed 365 and 370 for doubles.

Squat: 4 warms, 315/4 345/2 365/2 370/2
Leg Ext: 2 warms, 85/10,10
Leg Press: 2 warms, 370/12,13
Split Squat w/db: 30/10 40/10 (really light, first time doing this in months)
Calf work: high reps, 6 sets

Ab work: 6 sets
10 min cooldown.

Weigh in: 162 (-1) feeling tighter

Thanks, but lets hope you never out squat me!

Although you are one strong chicawink




Chest and tricep workout:

Solid workout today and made some gains. I didn't go as heavy on the flat db press due to my low back stiff/soreness from yesterdays squating. I tweak something and getting the bigger db in place can be a pain, no pun intended. Anywho, I worked up to 95's instead of the 110's. Did higher reps and all was good.

Flat db press: 3 warms, 95/10,7,7
Slight in db press: 85/8,7 75/10,9
Flat bar press w/chains: 4 sets
In db fly: 50/10,9
Reverse pressdown: 2 warms 57/8,8
Close grip db press: 1 warm, 50/10 55/8
1 arm rope pressdown: 15/11,10

17 min cardio

That's 2.3 time your bodyweight.  That's like me squatting 435/2.  I swear one day I will do it.  Nice weight Joe!

Each set is to failure, starting at 85, then 75, then 65, and the second set was 85, 75  and 55

I had my brother do a descending set-but I made him do it with hammer curls. He started at the 90s for 7 reps, and he went a little nuts with it all the way down to 15s at 5 lbs increments. The following day, he said he was numb.
