Second day off for me, scheduled that way. Back at it tomorrow.

Keep hitting it hard, Men!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Accessory work today ... did 3 heavy sets of everything in the 5-8 rep range followed by a 4th set at 25-30 reps (i.e. Wherever I failed after 25 reps).

I usually just do one heavy set @ 5-6reps and then do a lighter 25rep set w/ multiple drops.

Today's version destroyed my arms lol

With my lower back slowly slowly mending I've been working on bench & OHP strength. My shoulders are whipped today after ytrdys lift. Managed seated OHP 5x5 @ 135 with comfort (no shoulder or elbow pain) so I'm psyched. Bench progress has been good. Should be back to doing sets @ 225 really soon. 5x5 @ 185 has been clean and fast.

Got another 2.5mi run tomorrow. Working up to doing a 5k. Don't wanna do one unless I can run the whole thing.

Sounds like your on the right path, Charlie! :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Yeah, so much for cardio. If you count arms as cardio :)

Superset day.

Close grip bench - bb curls
Incline DB curls - incline DB extensions
V grip pull ups - close grip push ups
Cable extensions - cable curls

Pretty much 3-4 sets x 8-15

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Tell Nicole I'm so sorry for her loss, Ron.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

will do Tom.. Thank you for that..

this is really the first time she has lost anybody.. I could see she was in a noticeable "funk" yesterday :(

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Sorry for Nicole's and your loss. Wish there was something I could do. We lost my wife's uncle last week and we were close so I feel your pain. Try and stay focused on the good memories.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Managed a super slow 3.12mi run today. Wasn't worried about pace, just wanted to hit a 5k distance. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Int. Chest Day, 1.25 scoops Psychotic and 1.5 of Vasky. Trained medium weight for reps, Inclines, then some at an angle between inclines and flats, verticals, declines, and super heavy machine flyes to finish. Awesome burn, great pump, think I did some (good) damage.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Get it, Tom!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

31 sets of 10, or 10 sets of 31? If the latter, you are my all-time hero. :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

First 10 sets were 15 for 150 and it went down after that... Drastically lol

Got as low as 6 reps. Finished in 26 sets

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Still an awesome feat, Huy! :hb

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
