DL day and some supplemental back work for me today. Week 5 of this 6 week program but i'm feeling beat up so I wonder how i'll feel for that Week 7 1RM pull.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

I feel your pain, Charlie. Just do the best you can.

Felt like a wimp today doing chest. Gonna take a few weeks to get it back, me thinks.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Legs today. Felt flat and tired but a decent day.

Squats
Pause squats
Stiff leg deads using the hack squat machine
Single leg lying curls
Seated extensions - tried to get at least 120 reps in.

Hit some core after.

Flat DB
Hammer strength ISO press

After the DB press, everything was for higher reps with super slow contractions.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Nice, Huy.

Back day today. Went a little heavier than last time, with a few more reps, so headed in the right direction.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Didn't want to wake up today, I was too comfortable wrapped up in my blanket. Would have been kicked out by the Softball team anyway.

Incline x3
Flat x3
Laying fly's x3
cable flys for upper and lower chest x3

Legs,

Squats x3
Light dead's x3
Hip flexor machine all four directions x3

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Good stuff fellas!

Box squatted yesterday. Worked up to a single @ 275 w/o pain so that's good news.

My bench continued to be the worst bench of all time lol.
I'm working a lot on form but i'm still rly weak at it. Today my top set was 205x2. My shoulder and elbow were feeling kinda banged up but none the less, that's pretty dang weak lol

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Good work, Greg and Charlie. Charlie, when I come back from stuff, my bench is always the slowest exercise for me to regain strength in. My bench today was pitiful, but I just stick with it, hoping it will get better over time the way it always has in the past. Never want to think this is finally the time age catches up and it never comes back. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Sounds like some good work, Huy. :tu

I have back tomorrow, at least I know I usually have good days on back day.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Good work Huy.

I hear ya Tom ... though i'm not as strong as you, back day is easily my most confidence inspiring day. Always leave the gym feeling good after a back session.

Today is an off day so i'll just do 15min on the bike and 15min on the treadmill, to keep the hips and knees loose.

Tomorrow is deadlift day! :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Enjoy the mostly off day, Charlie, get ready to kill those deads.

I'm off to the gym to row dem lats. :ze

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II

Front skwaats
Angled leg press

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Nice work. Your sample goes out tomorrow,Tom.

My body was in a funk today. Had planned on hitting shoulders and some core work but my left bicep was sore, calves were sore and my mind wasn't into it. Napped for3 hours!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Too funny, Huy, today was supposed to be shoulders for me as well, and I skipped the gym too. I'll toss shoulders in tomorrow or Saturday with other parts.

Looking foward to getting JAZZED, Man! :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

smashed shoulders today.

standing single arnold presses, worked up to 75lb for 4x
behind neck seated presses
bb upright row - think i hit 10 sets
db side delt raise - bb front raise

zot curls
bb curls - reverse bb curls
seated preacher curl machine

nice focus and good shoulder pump today. hope you smashed it too tom.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

I decided to throw shoulders into tomorrow's workout, Huy, but I did smash arms. Smashed 'em good. Glad we both did some smashin'! :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Legs today: mainly in the squat rack.

Getting warmed up.

Gym DB: yo, how many sets you have left
Me: warming up, haven't even started
DB: how many sets?
Me: I don't know, may be a while.
DB: like how many sets is that?
Me: annoyed at this point* I don't know man, like 15 sets
DB: pshhh come on, bull
Me: you want to count my sets and reps? I'll be tired, so I won't be able to count

This guy is your typical gym douche. Slams all the weights and never reracks his ****.

So I literally worked up to 315 with incremanets of 10lb at a time to piss him off.

Squats - lots of it
Leg press
Good mornings

And finished off with some abs
