Nice work Tom.

Yesterday there was a guy on the lat pulldown machine, legs over the thigh pads, with his back probably 30° from parallel to the floor. Not exactly sure what he was doing. Some ne form of row I guess.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I've seen guys do that, Bob, and say it's for a better stretch on their lats. I don't like it, I use the cables for contraction, and do dead hangs later for a better stretch then that pulldown method could ever give. :2

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Pull day

Deadys 3x
Plate loaded standing rows 5x

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Back and arms today

Wide grip lat pulldowns
Narrow reverse grip pulldowns
Close grip rows (only got the one set, felt my sciatic tweak)
High iso rows

Read some articles today about strength vs hypertrophy training. Interesting. Now I have a better knowledge of both so I can adapt my routines.

Good stuff, Huy. Stop being mean to me on FB.

Did strictly cadrio and core before work today, almost a full hour of cardio before hitting abs.

Leg day tomorrow. I did some carb loading for the workout. I think 3 or 4 even. :hn :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Whaaaaaat!!! You rebel!

Slow getting off Keto.... had a little bowl of fruit and and a s’more that Mason made me.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I'm crazee! Actually, I a going to try and Keto through Feb. 11 when I leave for Florida.

Legs yesterday, went heavy on the presses, so heavy (for me) I was too gassed to do any kind of squatting. Finished up with hamstring work and core.

No day off this cycle, going to train straight through til I head to Cleveland for the "Weekend at Dave's". Chest today....added bonus is that I will not be doing chest on International Chest Day. ;) :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II

Hit shoulders for the first time in a bit, seated military presses and barbell shrugs. Cambered bar curls and preacher curls for the bis, and decided to leave tris for tomorrow or Thursday and crush it on the cardio.

Legs tomorrow, we'll see if I regret all that cycling today. ;) :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

You go Tom! I"m a ball or soreness today. :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Hope that lactic acid breaks up for you, Bob.

It's leg day. I tried to stay in bed, but my conscience won't let me. :D
