Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Two months off, am I gonna be sore when I start back this week? I figure that I would start back with leg day, but I'm scared that I'm gonna be walking funny at school all week.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
If you do leg day first, Andy, just be sure you eat a ton of protein, drink lots of water, take your vitamins, and get a sufficient amount of rest. Otherwise, yeah, you're going to be walking like you started in the prison scene of a d-grade movie.
Strange lifting week for me because of travel that starts Wednesday; but I *should* be able to hit a gym back West while I'm out there. I think I'll start my week today, though -- I don't want to waste the peak of my current supplementation regime. |

After brunch, went to the gym for a second time because DrMS wanted to go in. Consider her now a member of Gerry's Army (old reference). She did 30 minutes of elliptical, 150 weighted ab exercises, and 20 minutes of walking on the treadmill. I did pretty close to the same ... probably a little less cardio, and more weight on the abs (with different exercises than her). Diet change will commence soon, too.... |

my advice is just take the time off to heal. dont even think about working out. dont take any pills or powder with ya. go have fun eat some grub drink beer.take off till the weds. just make it a whole week. dont go out and worry about missing workouts or something. trust me, when ya just take off period. its the best.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Hmmmm ... you make a compelling case, Frank. And I was all ready to pack my Inzer belt into my carry-on.
I'll have to think about it, now. |

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Think it was Frank posted an article a few weeks ago in this thread about rest, had some very good points in it. Author made a compelling case, I thought, for taking about 6 weeks off a year. I have lifted when I was on vaca and taken the time off, and there is something to be said for both. But I think I would rather take the time off and give myself the week for a better rest and come back strong after.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Did a dynamic effort leg day, today.
Set the boxes to parallel. Ramped up the weight slowly from just bar to 225. Dropped the boxes a couple inches below parallel. 225 x 3 for 2-3 sets (can't remember) Kicked the boxes back up to parallel and added some weight for my full working sets -- 275, on the clock (60 seconds rest), breaking parallel, with a pause at the bottom: 275 x 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3 I felt like I was going to die when I finished. No rest for the weary, though. Okay ... a little rest before the support exercises. Pullthroughs: 120 x 10, 120 x 12, 150 x 10, 180 x 10 -- all very fast. Ghetto reverse hypers (improvised on the preacher bench): 4 sets of 10 Leg raises: 3 sets of 10, 9, 11 I'm gonna be honest ... I haven't felt that beat after a leg day in a while. Don't get me wrong, I've been spent on max effort/PR days; but I just laid on the floor for a couple minutes when I was done because I was completely exhausted. That was fun. |

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
I tell ya ... I'm feeling real good right now. I'm at the tail end of my supp cycle; so I've got all this test built up and have had a decent level of intensity with quick recoveries. my back and legs have been treating me well and showing good gains. if it wasn't for my tris, I'd have zero complaints. almost reaching the 2-year point of going to the gym (October 1st). I'll probably write a longer post reflecting on it; but right now, I'll say that I'm relatively happy with myself. if I can show even half as many gains over the next 2 years as I've already had, I'll be on cloud 9. |

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Glad ya had a good workout dokk. No gym tonight for me, both boys and wifey are sick so I gotta play dad. Hitting gym tomorrow. gonna go solo and hit up the hardcore gym in the ghetto and blast some good pulls. Been being lazy bout working out. I think I just need a good ole fashion red blood vessel eyed workout.
Yea pete. I posted that article. I agree with it a lot. A lot of people let other things work school family etc. dictate when they take time off, why not just take 2 weeks off to be a bum? Ive had 4 beers tonight and some fish sticks. I feel fat and lazy. !!!!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Light day today. Hang/power cleans, incline press and finished off with some close grip pulldowns.
I usually take a week off between switching up workouts, and/or whenever I go on vacation. So it's not 6 weeks/year, but it's 3-4.
