Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Hit chest today, did something different. One medium weight, high rep set of every chest exercise I could think of to failure. Just something to keep the mind fresh until I start getting more keto energy....which actually was up today, despite skipping my day off .

Off the top of my head I did incline, 30* incline, flat bench, decline, vertical bench, machine incline, super wide and decline, flyes and dips. actually added a 2nd set of a couple things just for a little more volume, and then added 50 minutes of cardio. Definitely the most energetic I've felt this week.

Nice work Tom!

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I have test strips that I piss on during Keto. Helps me know if I’m still on ketosis. I don’t do ZERO carbs, I still stick around 25-40g of carbs.

You got me motivated. I’m back on it, just for a month or so and then I’ll slowly add in carbs.

Took Xmas off.

Back today -

Deads 3x
V grip rows 5x
Wide grip rows 5x
Kb rows 3x

Hit some arms heavy. First time in a while. Had a nice pump.

Made tacos tonight but no tortillas for me :( :( :(

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Thanks, Bob!

Huy, thanks for keeping me company. I need to get some of those strips, although if I'm not in ketosis after 8-9 days of 10 carbs a day or less, I never will be.

Did another 30 minutes of cardio in the evening.

Send me some bread please. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Battled my way through back, abs and cardio on my big 8-9 grams of carbs from yesterday. T-bar rows, narrow grip Olympic bar rows, one armed rows, cable rows.

I literally dreamed last night I was eating a snack mix made of mini cookies and chocolate chunks by the fistful, then realizing I just put myself out of ketosis. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

In laws were eating cookies and reading recipes for different cookies after dinner. Damn them.

Yeah probably under 20g today.

Had a good leg day. Hit fronts pretty hard and it felt nice.

Fronts 3x
Pause fronts 3x

Single arm ohp 3x - Bulgarian hack squats 3x

Box step ups (bw) - plate front raise 3x

Single leg extensions - KB single stiff leg deads 3x

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I needed the inspiration, Huy, it's leg day and I'm trying to get motivated. But it's been like this every day for a week, so I'll get the blood flowing and bust through it. :ze

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

McDonald’s double quarter pounder with cheese lettuce wrap was awesome. I hate to admit it. Had it after hit upper hypertrophy.

Incline bb - pull ups 3x
Neautral grip Db press - db row 3x
Single arm cable rows - machine flat press 4x

Super set arms as well

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

So no bun? Sounds good it not. :D

With all the cardio lately, I didn't have as much gas as I hoped to for legs, so I kept the workout short, heavy and intense,

Leg press x 5
Front squats x 3
Leg extension x 3
Leg curls x 3
Cardio

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

No bun :(

Doesn’t help tomorrow’s herf with feature shrimp tamales and chili rellanos :(

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Eat the shrimp and throw the masa to the dog. ;)

Only have "clean up" stuff today, arms and abs, so I did my first short "fast" of the diet, 18 hours prior to training. I'll letcha know how it goes. ;)

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Felt good to get back into the gym. Hit up back and tris with the trainer today.

Low cable rows
TRX triple rows (wide, narrow, reverse grip)
Assisted pull-ups
Skull crushers
Tri pushdowns
Got one set of ez bar curls in, but it started to aggravate my neck.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Good to see you back, Bob. :ze

Energy was pretty good on the 18 hour fast, arms were pumped and I had my best day of their cardio equipment yet. Thinking about keeping my workouts on the 4 day split for now and fasting like this every 4th day.

The amount of goo that has come off my midsection in 16 days is impressive and keeping me motivated. Heading in for ICS soon.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Good to hear that Tom. I might need to go back to a low carb diet. The midsection is my Achilles heel.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

This Keto sh!t is melting it right off my midsection, Bob. Today is Day 19 and the difference already is significant.

Got some Ketostix in the mail yesterday (love Amazon!) and they measure if your body is actually in ketosis. From light beige to super dark purple, the darker being how deeply in ketosis your body is. First one, it was almost black. I guess I'm good. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

You piss metal, Tom. :banger:

Last workout of the year.

Flat bench
Dips
Front shoulder raise/press combo
TRX rear shoulder presses
Facepulls (working on keeping my shoulders from rounding forward)
100 kettlebell push-ups finisher.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Good stuff guys!

We had a herf Saturday and I HAD to eat a couple tamales. Rude if I didn’t lol.
Came home to test myself, still good. Still in ketosis.

Had a good leg day.

Squats 4x
Platz squats 3x
Single leg box step ups - walking lunges (body weight) 3x
Hack squats 4x
Seated extensions 4x

Did some abs

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Nice job Huy! Here’s to more gainz in ‘19. :chr

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Leg day.

Leg press. Ne PR of 710 for 9 reps.
Bulgarian split squats
Hamstring curls
100 inch worm finisher.
Had gas left in the tank, so added in some calf raises and then cardio.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Way to finish off the year (and start the new one). Bob and Huy!

Did back yesterday, relatively strong but gassed out kinda quickly. Said F that and had my longest session on the bike yet.

Decided to take today off and give my legs an extra day so I can hit them heavy tomorrow. Of course, I did go for a 4 mile power walk to keep my metabolism jumpin'. :D
