My name is Steve, most call me Drago, or as Vance calls me Dragonov. I am 30 and am looking to get in the best shape of my life. I've been lifting for awhile now and back in my prime I was 220, and benching 285. I look forward to returning to those days; bench was never my strong point. I've always been a freak with legs with my max squat being 1000lbs x 1 before an unfortunate incident where I threw out my back while squatting from weight shifting and a spotter who decided to walk away, watch your form and be careful.
My main goal is to lose body fat and work on my upper body. I've never been big on the top but currently I'm smaller than I was and would like to at the very least get back to where I was. So I hope this blog will get me on that path and help others as well. I also tend to do H.I.I.T., low rep, high weight vs normal work out so there is very little rest in between my sets; I also tend to work till muscle failure.
My normal leg day looks something like this:
Incline Leg press:
10x12 plate 540lbs
8x16 plate 720lbs
6x21 plate 945lbs
*I interweave the incline leg press and Incline calf raises usually doing one then immediately the other.
** I also tend to always push myself for that one more rep, case in point last week I did 20 reps at 945lbs instead of 6. I would up the weight but I have maxed the machines and we have no heavier plates.
Incline Calf Raises:
10x12 plate 540lbs
8x16 plate 720lbs
6x21 plate 945lbs
Squat:
10x2 plate
8x4 plate
6x6 plate
+bar
*No where near my max of what I used to do :( but I'll get back :)
Hamstrings:
10x 110lbs
8x 125lbs
6x 140lbs
*It's always good to keep these stretched and limber.
