B ack definitely stiffened up some after I cooled down...especially being on my feet for 5 hours afterwards at school. Hopefully it's fine tomorrow.

Yeah, it was a shock. I tossed the bar about 8 feet in disgust as I lay on my back on the floor. :r

Crazy thing was, back workout wasn't bad afterwards. Lots of reps with the lighter weights.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Got ya covered Tom. Good back day this morning with my trainer.

Trap bar deadlifts. New PR of 300lbs. Easy Peasy. Glad we didn’t go for more, feeling it in the knee.
One arm rows, went heavy.
Narrow grip pulldowns, heavy again
Lat pullovers
Tri pushdowns
Tri kick backs
Dead hangs, trying to stretch out the lats.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Excellent back day I'd say, Bob. :tu

Back is still a bit tight, going to give it a go today though.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Shoulders and tris today. Kept it short to let me lower back loosen up, and to keep the hip flexor that apparently got injured from getting worse:

Seated military x 7 sets
Rear delt flyes x 5 sets
Skullcrushers x 4 sets
Extensions x 4 sets

Tomorrow scheduled legs and bis...have to see how that hip flexor is feeling, I have a bad feeling Imma hafta skip a leg day. :(

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Skipped legs this go-round, just want this hip flexor or whatever it is to get better. It's better this evening, took some Aleve (after buying some :r) and it's already better. Must just be inflammation.

Did bis seated today. Two different styles of preacher curls and some concentration curls. Hoping the pain won't affect me much on chest tomorrow.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Back in normal and hip flexor is much better after a couple rounds of Aleve. ICT was a heavy one.

30* inclines x 4 sets
Wide inclines x 4 sets
Vertical bench x 3 sets
Flyes x 4 sets
Declines x 3 sets
Precor incline x 4 sets (4 different angles).

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

ICT, plus some bi’s for good measure.

Push-ups/plank pyramid prefatigue
Seated flyes, lots of them
Flat bench
Dumbbell flat bench
Dumbbell incline bench
Seated 21’s
Hammer curls

I can’t feel my arms. Lol. Worked on a lot of flyes to see if we can’t further activate my left side. The pinched nerve is messing with the mind/muscle connection.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Good lift, Bob. Hoping that left side keeps improving.

Back day for me. Imma be a little gun shy on the pulldowns, I'll definitely use the station where the cable snapped on me Friday. It's got the newest cable. ;) :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Give that machine hell, Tom. :ze

I"m planning on going in tonight after work for legs. It is squatober after all.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Nice, Bob. I think my hip flexor has healed enough for legs next leg day.

I used the machine I "broke" Friday and told all my buddies to use it too, it's the only relatively safe one right now. :r

Barbell rows x 7 sets
T-bar rows x 5 sets
High pulls x 4 sets
Rear delt flyes x 4 sets

Hamstring curls
Hip adductors

Driving home, my legs were shaking. Lol.

I was planning to go in today for back. But worked at the office, which took forever to get home. And the spicy poke bowl I had for lunch is exacting revenge.

Boulder shoulders workout today. Full hour of nothing but presses, raises and some band exercise my trainer thought up for me. Really don’t remember everything I did, just that my shoulders were lit after that.
