Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

2 workouts a day for me until Shack :ze 1 workout will be what I normally do and the other will be a lighter 30-40 minute workout same muscle group. There will definitely be some sled pulling in that second workout.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Gonna try to fight through this chitty summer cold for a chest/back workout today. Might have to visit the doctor tomorrow if this isn't any better, don't wanna be sick at the Shack again.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3

day off jiu jitsu tonight, i might just jump on the treadmill for a hour long walk on a incline and some pullups...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Nice job Gerry! :tu

Despite this awful cold, my strength and endurance both were good as I supersetted chest and back today.

Dumbbell Bench - Weighted pull-ups (+25 pounds)
Barbell Bench - Bodyweight pull-ups
Incline Bench - T-bar rows
Dips - Barbell Rows
Flyes - Wide grip pulldowns

Going to the doc tomorrow anyway though, I am gonna get a weeks worth of antibiotics in me prior to Shack.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Been at the double cardio (riding the airdyne in the morning and evening for about an hour each) for a couple weeks now. Been eating more as well so even though I'm burning over 1000 calories a day with exercise, things have slowed down.

194 even this morning a new low. Thinking about where this all ends up is a difficult thing. My addictive personality hooked up with the weight loss process leading to ever lower weight goals.

260 was the starting point with a goal of 225

Seemed reasonable. Losing 35 pounds and feeling better about things. Made the weight in 2 1/2 months so...

225 became
220 which became
215 which became
210 whcih became
200 which became
195 which is now....

190 (and thats a lie have 185 on my spreadsheet)

Need to redirect my focus to certain fitness aspects vs the obsession with weight.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Did squats yesterday. Always a fun workout. Back Squats, Front squats, Partial squats, weighted jumps, and vertical jumps (no weight). My white shirt was see through by the end of the workout. Hit the sled 3 hours later. Sprinting forward drags and backward drags for 30 yards, 4 sets of each. Then alternated forward and backward drags for 5 minutes. My legs were on fire but it felt good.

This morning did shoulders. Sooo many reps/sets. Felt good still need to work on shoulders more. Definitely a lagging body part for me. I'll be hitting the sled later on :D
