Cold is in effect, good thing it wasn't leg or back day, I doubt I would have gotten through it. Arm day was easy, kept the weights moderate and the reps high. Short and sweet again.

Cambered bar curls x 6 sets
Close grip bench press x 6 sets
Preacher curls / skullcrushers x 5 supersets

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

At least you’re still keeping up, Bob. Keep pushing it!

Good leg day, moderate weights

Squats 5x
Platz squats 3x
Hack squats 4x
Lying leg curls 3x
Seated extensions 3x

That’s all she wrote

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Love it every time you say Platz squats. :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Hypertrophy leg day. Didn’t want to get too intense as my neck heals.

Leg press
TRX hamstring curls
Lunges
Hip abductors

Man those lunges gassed me.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

It’s actually one of my strongest lifts. I think because I’m pretty flexible and have good mobility that I can hit good numbers. 225-275x6-8

Anyhow, back day (sorta)

Wide grip deads x5
T bar rows 5x

Popped my head inside the court and got asked to play. Ended up running 3 games, so had got my cardio in instead of finishing my workout.

Good job, Bob. Keep it up brother

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Good work, guys! :tu

Bob, glad you're able to get some lifting in.

Huy, those are good numbers, promise never to kick me. :D

Cold was worse this morning, so I didn't train. Went to work, feel much better tonight, but since legs is up, I am going to take one more day off. I have to work again tomorrow (earlier), I just think I'm more likely to purge this sh!t completely if I take another day. Or maybe I'm just being a pu$sy. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Keep up the slack for me. Could be sometime before I go in...

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

But for the best possible reason. Or at least a close second to taking me out for tacos. ;)

I will pick it up for you in the morning. Not sure how it will go, the cold settled in my throat, but I've missed 4 days (today for reasons other than the cough), so I need to get back, even if they're short.

Crossing my fingers and toes that all goes perfectly. Don't let Mason send her back.

Bob, any improvements?

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Nope, I honestly think it's gotten a bit worse. At least it feels that way this morning. Asked my doc to schedule me an appt with a neurosurgeon, at least for a consult/second opinion.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Sorry to hear it's not improved, Bob....hope the docs can give you some direction.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

First day back after skipping 5 with my chest cold. Made it through a decent workout without coughing so hopefully the worst is over. Did chest for an easier day.

Bench press x 4 sets
30* incline x 3 sets
Incline x 4 sets
Flyes x 4 sets
Decline x 4 sets

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Back day...good one, but didn't sweat much.

T-bar rows (heavy) x 6 sets
Barbell rows (reps) x 4 sets
Wide grip pulldowns x 4 sets
Cable rows x 3 sets
Dead hangs

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Leg hypertrophy day, again

Leg press x7
Single leg hamstring curls x3
Double leg hamstring curls x3
Hip abductors x4
Calf raises x3

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Feel ok today, Bob?

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Yea, sticking with mid weight as not to over do it. Just pumping out reps. Might try some light arm work tomorrow.

How’s your cold?

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I feel like I've turned the corner, thanks, but unfortunately a lot of my friends who have had a similar bug say just when you think you're better, it makes a surprise return. Knocking on wood that's not the case with me.

Hope the arm work goes well, I'm heading in for shoulders and arms too.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Volume day, shoulders and bis

Military press x 6 sets
Barbell shrugs x 5 sets
Cambered bar curls x 5 sets
Arnold curls x 3 sets
Preacher curls x 4 sets
Rear delt flyes x 3 sets

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Tried some arms today. Went light to gauge what i can/can’t do. Turns out not a whole lot. :D

Tri pushdowns
Tri pushdown machine
Ez bar curls
Zotts
Hammer curls

The left tri is definitely weak right now. Attempted ez bar skull crushers. Left arm started to buckle just lifting bar up. The name of the exercise isn’t supposed to be literal. Also tried some cable tri kickbacks. Right side went fine. Left not so much.

I’ll just keep the weights light and do what I can till this heals.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Bob, I wish I had something wise to say...I just know it sucks when you're into it and the body is not cooperating. I'm having an issue with my right tri right now, but it isn't even close to what you're enduring. Just know I've been there, and gotten better every time. Couple real bad ones, couple pretty bad ones, :r and here I stand. You'll do the same.

Today was leg day, went in very unmotivated, so decided to go volume. Lost count of how many sets of leg presses I did, I did them til my quads started cramping. Threw in a bunch of hammie curls and quad extensions until my hamstrings started cramping too. The stairs have been just lovely tonight, and I've been up and down all the flights a dozen times.

I'll hit front squats next leg day, just didn't feel like it today. Tomorrow I'm going to just hit core and cardio, and back to chest Sunday. That way I don't have chest on ICM. :D

Huy, are you curling your children to get a little bicep workout in? :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I’m curling diaper bags and grocery bags.

Actually got in today!

Legs and chest.

Squats - box step ups - pull ups
Seated leg press - calf raises
Flat bb pause - dips
Single Db press

Finished off with some tris.

In n out in 58 min
