Fat Guy that Lifts : Mighty Back Days

The day that defines the week, I usually start my week with a day of heavy lifting targeted at the back and the shoulder. That being said I do not do double muscle groups dude to a time constraint, but I always sneak in an extra 50 reps for a compound movement with every workout.
#gottolookbroadasfuck
Back Day is Simple
Equipment needed
#1 A Full Size Heavy Barbell
PS : A Five Footer or a 6 Foot barbell is good but won't fit into the plan I use.
#2 A minimum of 4 Plates of a Weight And Two plates of a weight 50 % less than that.
Example I use 45 Pound Plates, so I'll have 4*45 and 2*25 ( the math don't add but that's the standard weight at my gym )
In kilograms 20 Kilo and 10 Kilo Plates.
#3 Dumbbells a Lot of Dumbbells
Workout follows a 6 set with 15 second rest policy
The reps stay constant for a weight and I increase the weight after 2 sets.
Reps counter is 15 for the first Set at minimum weight, 8 For the second medium heavy and 4 for the heaviest.
Number one on the list is warming up...
Jog a for about a Kilometer or do 20 Burpies or 60 seconds of MountainClimber.
The idea is to get the body ready for arse whooping.
Warming up is necessary, follow the warming up with stretching.
Workout Plan
DEAD lifts with Parallel Grip for 2 Sets at light weight
DEAD lift with Parallel Grip for 2 Sets at medium weight
DEAD lift with Alternate Grip at Heavy for 2 sets
SUMO DEAD lift with Parallel grip for a bonus set of 4/6 repetitions at medium heavy or heavy.
I swear by Barbell rows for a stronger back
BARBELL rows with wide grip ( wider than shoulder width ) for 1 set at Light Weight for 15-20 reps ( 25 pounds in my case )
BARBELL rows at 45 Pounds per side for 2 Sets of 10-15 reps
BARBELL rows with extra 25 pounds per side for 2 sets with a rep range of 8 and above.
Last set is heavy, a belt is recommended for extra lumbar support ( lower back )
Add them 45's or 2 plates of the weight of your choice.
We keep the grip wide and hit the back with one heavy set of 5-8 reps with a squeeze at the end.
Remove all weight from one side, arrange the bar for T bar rows.
Set one 1 plate of 45 for 20/25 reps
Set two 2 plates of 45 for 15 reps
Set three 2 plates of 45 plus 1 plate of 25 for 10 reps
Set four 3 plates of 45 for 8 reps
Set five 3 plates of 45 plus one plate of 25 for 6 reps.
Set 6 is burn out, one plate of 45 and one of 25 for reps till you can't do no more.
Major part of the work out is over we have dumbbells rows and a burnout with wide grip rope pulls downs
DUMBBELL ROWS pick a weight that can be done for 10-15 reps...
Go for 5 sets of 10-15 reps
If strength and time permits hit the rope pull downs for 3 sets to failure...
Hyperextension can be added for fun
Keep lifting, keep workingout

HEINEKEN v/s KingFisher Ultra

Image
Two similar beers brewed at the same plant by United Breweries and sold as almost the same price with a mean of 140 per pint ( Rate List in Punjab ). There is a grapewine in the beer scene that it is possible that Ultra is just rebatched Heineken. It is easy believing the claim as the beers are indeed similar and the fact that Heineken practically calls the shots in the United Breweries with a 43 % share hold. Considering how I am not the regular beer reviewer and I am not at the level ( yet ) to break down the brewing process of both the beers, I'm going to try and put the rumor mills to the rest with a simple analysis that almost all of us beer chuggers can use. Step one : The layer of froth and Carbonation Pour both the beers into a similar glasses, I would recommend an standard Pint Glass for easier pouring. Heineken has a slightly higher number of bubbles rising and the Head ( Froth ) is stronger ( read visibly larger ). Step two : color difference , we coul...

CARLING Premium Strong

My Thekka or the Liquor Store I buy my stock from called up About a New batch with Carling and Haywards etc had come in, and I would no longer have to make do with the Thunderbolt. So we picked up our Helmet and Rode down to the thekka in the middle of a wet evening with occasional thunder to get our beer fix. The ride in the rain was worth it, the BEER... Bleh Not at all... CARLING BRITAINS NUMBER ONE BEER, I did not say that it is written on the bloody Label. Generic Beer at best and too bloody expensive for absolutely no reason. C.B.S.E style point system Color : Buttery Yellow with a Shimmy Finish, just like every other super strong beer on sale in Punjab. Alcohol Level : 5.25 to 8.25 % Legs on the side of the glass look neat and are decent. Carbonation : I liked the Carbonation, for a bottle that had a few hours in the Refrigerator to settle down to its ground state, even before the first sip there was a good thick layer of Foam on top of the bot...
