Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II

[icehog3]

Big OT win last night, Charlie, 7-6. 87 combined shots on goal, the most I can ever remember in a game I played in.

I've been taking HMB and creatine coupled with protein powders for support. I've had great results over the past few months, but consistency is difficult to achieve right now with the cols, my funky work schedule, and my daughter's schedule. Still, I can now do several sets of decline pushups from a chair starting at 12 reps and then decreasing slowly to about 6 after several sets. That's a win in my book.

[icehog3]

Good stuff, Mario!

[Adriftpanda]

Glad to hear you're still around, Mario.

Suppose to hit legs again this week but decided to just do back. Had an awesome back day.

Pull ups 4x10
Wide grip pull down 5x5-8
T bar row 4x8
Single arm front pull down 4x10+
DB row 5x8+

Stiff arm lat pull down - close grip pull down (negatives)

Did some quick biceps, hit 100 reps.

Good work Huy, have a cookie!

[Adriftpanda]

Damn it! Too late... Can I have a cookie today? On my off day? Lol

[icehog3]

My off day too! Let's both have a cookie.

[swingerofbirches]

Cookies? None for me ... I had to wear my hoodie of shame to the gym today cuz of my poor diet lately lol

Got in a decent shoulder lift today.
Tomorrow is gonna be arms and the squats for cardio

[icehog3]

The hoodie of shame....too funny, Charlie.

Thanks Tom and Huy! No workout for me today, but I DID have a cookie last night.

[swingerofbirches]

What are your thoughts on the HMB, Mario?

[swingerofbirches]

Had a pretty good arm day again ytrdy ... did speed squats for cardio and then did some DL working up to 1x1 @ 405 and then RDLs 1x10 @ 225 & 1x10 @ 135 for a good stretch

Got a decent pump too ... belly omission not by accident
I like how it looks like I took the preacher curl pic on THE original cell phone camera lol



Pump starting to fade after cardio and sauna lol :/

[icehog3]

Looking good, Charlie!

[Adriftpanda]

Damn it! I was going to take another day off... I guess now I have to go.

Good work, men.

By the way, watched Trainwreck last night with the family and your favorite person played a small role in it. John Cena! He was a little funny but still not a fan after your story.

[swingerofbirches]

Strong back work as always, Tom!

No rest for the wicked, Huy. Back at it!

What John Cena story?

[icehog3]

John Cena has been a dick at my gym on several occassions, Charlie, he's a real piece of....work.

[Adriftpanda]

Haven't trained that late in a long time. Nice to have a empty gym.

Did legs since I skipped it on Thursday.

Squats 4x3, 4x6
Lunges 4x10
Seated leg curls 4x15+
Seated leg extensions 4x15+
Seated and standing calve raises 8x10+

Did some abs in between some sets as well.

Off tomorrow, breast on Tuesday and maybe some arms.
Have a good day of training tomorrow, fellas.

[Adriftpanda]

I will never train that late again. I used 120mg of caffeine and that kept me up...

[icehog3]

Bis and shoulders today, went heavy and fast. Legs manana, yeehah.

[swingerofbirches]

That sucks Huy ... i'm pretty stim tolerant and i've sworn off really late training unless i'm ok with being up until all hours of the morning cuz i've experienced the same thing that you did.

Get it Tom!

Chest, little bit of Tris and some speed squats for cardio
