Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
I wouldnt even be able to lock out 415. Way to go!
I tried box squats for the first time the other day. Apparently, I tend to go lower when I squat normally.

Had a good chest workout, strength is down just a little after my layoff, but I felt stable and I think it will come back quickly.

I hit back before hitting the 12 oz. curls, some reps on bodyweight pull-ups, heavy one-armed rows, and finished with high rep sets on bent over rows. I earned my sweet potatoes!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Got these for X-mas Looking forward to using them today at the gym. They make the bar fatter so you build strength in your grip and forearms. I would just wrap towels on the bar but that got dangerous for a lot of exercises.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
They grip the bar from the inside I assume, Christos? Otherwise I would think they would just spin with your range of motion?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Yea they grip on the inside. They are sized perfect to hold onto the bar.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Funny ... me, too, ADB. On Thursday, I rant into a guy who was planning to do some heavier legs today and I foolishly offered to join him. Still a little tight from the heavy deads the other day; but I'll see what I can do.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Not too heavy, today on legs; feeling a little constrained by (a) doing the deads the other day and (b) having tight, weak hams from taking the last couple of months off (which is the last time I'll use that excuse).
Full Squats 45 x 15 135 x 10 185 x 10 225 x 7 Cheater Squats (off a bench) 315 x 12 365 x 10 Full squats 315 x 5 Cheater Squats 405 x 7 Finished it off with some calves and various weighted abs stuff. Not a bad day; not a great day. |

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Pull after squatting. Then there will be no worries. Fat grips are decent to have in your bag for training at commercial gyms. Don't get in the habit of using them all of the time. I would say use them every 2-3 workouts. Also be prepared to discover how weak your grip truly is.
Couple more days of sitting on my ass then its back to the grind. Easy squats this week with some serious deadlifting. Going to try a new PR or Two. lol

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Wrecked my shoulders today with a high rep day. Seated militarys at 165-185 for reps, 70 pound dumbbell presses for reps, and some heavy barbell and dumbbell shrugs.
I earned my leftovers. Looks like Frank and Dokk have some PRs in their near futures!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
I figured I'd just post. I've just been cutting weight with mostly running and for the past week swimming. Want to tone up a big before I start pumping iron. Back in high school I got a lot bigger, but retained a lot of the flab, but not this time! Hopefully I can get my running on pace, right now I'm only doing about 4 miles a day, but I want to get it to at least 7. I'm considering doing a sprint triathlon sometime tsoon as well
