doing light t-bar rows the day after really makes me feel better, actually -- it really helps to stretch them out, get them moving, and limber me up. |

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
I often workout legs in back to back days. However, I split it into Quad dominant exercises and Harmstring dominant exercises. I've gotten big gains from doing it that way and it makes "leg day" much more tolerable.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Leg days aren't supposed to be tolerable -- they're supposed to make you puke!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
I only make other people puke when they attempt my leg day. Supersetting deadlift and squats seems to have that affect on people.

add bands to the deadlifts and make them sumo 5s for speed ... then you're beggin' for a pukin'! tell us your leg day, Christos. I'd like to try some of it out and try to break my lifting partner. |

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
First day back since Friday... took a break to fix up the elbow. Saw the PT yesterday and he told me what I shouldn't do, so I hit everything else hard and love it. Got leg presses up to 132#x20 and 144#x10... coulda kept going so I think I'll start w/ 144# next time.
Started doing rows, too... those aren't too bad. So far (about 1.5 hours later) the elbow is feeling great... let's hope it stays that way. |

Pretty strong shoulder day, and first time working traps since I tweaked my back. It's a bit tight, but I think it's pretty well mended.

Deadlift x 6 Hang Clean x 6 Front Squat x 6 Hang Snatch x 6 Overhead Squat x 6 Front Press x 6 Bentover Row x 6 Romanian Deadlift x 6 No rest in between sets and don't put down the bar. Lift for speed and keep track of how long it takes to go through. Next set try and beat that time.

whatever we do tomorrow, though, should really be focused on legs and lower back. I hit the rest of my body pretty hard the rest of the week and don't like to repeat things before I've had a chance to rest properly. definitely post up after you have a chance to go through your log. I think I like your idea of a squat-deadlift superset ... maybe do the squats high to emphasize the quads and the deadlifts sumo to emphasize the glutes and hams. and maybe add bands to the deads to really force us to be explosive off the ground. other brutal squat-dead superset ideas? |

Off the top of my head. Do an explosive quad dominant exercise, no rest, front or back squat, 60-90s rest, explosive ham dominant exercise, no rest, into deadlifts. Ham dominant explosive exercise could be something like jump lunges.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
intriguing....
what are some explosive quad-dominant ideas -- aside from something using a machine (everything's too spread out, so throwing a machine in would defeat the point of a superset). I train hams all the time; but avoid many quad specific exercises because I don't want bigger quads (or calves, for that matter). for quads, I've been throwing in fast, high box squats every other week (hits the quads most and forces the use of more stabilizers, unlike leg press); but that's about it (aside from the ways quads are involved in other lifts). |

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Good lifts this morning at medium weight, about 70-75% 1RM. Heavy enough that I feel it, but light enough that I can go faster. Press, bent-over rows, upright rows and lat pulldowns. Did some stretching and walked home to take a shower and eat some oatmeal.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
A couple days ago the PT mentioned that I probably have some arthritis from the break in the elbow... it killed this morning and I took some tylenol arthritis... I can actually move it without being in pain.
Now the question is, do I go to the gym...? |
