Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II

I'm sure you will see my rant about the gym on FB, Huy, so I won't repeat it here.

Hit the bent overs heavy, then used the new (sh!tty) T-bar. Needed to drop down to 235 for sets on those. Finished with some heavy cable rows. Back trashed, just like my mood.

[Adriftpanda]

Haha, yeah I saw... just like you saw my comment.

Chest/shoulders today. Just went 75% on bench, kept everything fairly easy.

Good dat

ICD on a Monday. Somehow, there were benches available.

Had my strongest chest workout in over 7 months since the crash. Nice to be getting close to where I was at before bashing my skull in.

Back day today. Have a hockey game tonight, so I decided to go short and heavy.

Bent over rows 225, 275, 295, 315, 275, 225, 195
Pullups (bodyweight) 6 sets to failure
Barbell row drop/rep set 225/195
Close grip pulldowns 180, 200, 220
Dead hangs

Nice! Back is back to normal, knock on wood.

Had some good session.

Back today as well.

Pause deadlifts
Seated row
Pendlay rows

[icehog3]

Very nice, Huy!

Shoulders yesterday, not a lot of gas after a late hockey game and a sh!tty nights sleep.

Legs and arms today, just light legs as I have another game tonight.

[Adriftpanda]

Shoulders today, probably one of the best shoulder day in a while. Everything was on point.

Single Arnold presses
Ohp
Db side delts- kb upright row

Some arms.

Legs again tomorrow and then off for a couple days.

Sorry bout your Hawks, Tom. I was rooting for your team. Even with all my ahole trolling comments. But of course, I'll gladly enjoy my 5er.

[icehog3]

Thanks, Huy. I know I gave my best effort!

Good day yesterday, light on legs and heavy on arms. Off day today, time to feed.

[Adriftpanda]

Legs yesterday... good thing I brought socks.

Wore my flip flops to the gym bc I usually leave my squat shoes in the car. Nope wasn't there.

Just hit squats and bb lunges since I didn't want to walk around the gym in my socks.

Front squats and lots of it.
Lunges and lots of it.

[icehog3]

Too many lunges, not enough shoes.

Heading in for ICS shortly.

[Adriftpanda]

IBD here.

Lots of pull ups.

Pull downs
Chest supported rows
Back to pull ups

Some arms

[icehog3]

Switched it up on chest yesterday, just put 275 on the bench and repped out. Then some inclines, had to drop the weight because the benching gassed me. Finished up with some declines, machine flyes and bodyweight dips for reps.

Back today, think I will start with pullups, maybe superset then with another exercise.

[Adriftpanda]

Truly ICD

Hit incline db to start, haven't done that in a while.

Incline db
Flat pause bench
Hammer Strengthh press
Dips

Some arms. That's it! Focus was good. Need to find a new solid pwo

[icehog3]

Back on Sunday, hit 8 sets of pullups (16 reps down to 9). Heavy wide pulldowns and cable rows after.

Yesterday was supposed to be leg day, but with 3 (short benched) hockey games in 3 nights, wasn't happening. Did heavy shoulders and arms instead.

Off today, 3rd game tonight. Tomorrow will be an all-body workout, then 4 days off for a little herfing action. You'll have to hit it for me, Huy.

[icehog3]

Legs were still gassed as we had a short bench for the 3rd night in a row. I modified things and just supersetted chest and back for my last workout, with a couple sets of bi's thrown in at the end.

Bench press - Bent over rows
Incline bench - T-bar rows
Machine flyes - Rear delts
Pullups and dead hangs

Out of the gym 'til Monday. Huy, keep up the pace for me.

[Adriftpanda]

Hope it went well. Have fun in Dallas. I'll miss you guys for sure.

Legs yesterday. Different gym, new toys to play with.

Not sure if I'll go tonight. Leaving for NorCal tomorrow am - Wed.

April carbs bring May gains?

[icehog3]

After 5 days off the gym, had my strongest chest day in a year yesterday. Went heavy on flats, reps on inclines, heavy on declines and heavy on flyes. Chest is still sore.

Back day today, went with the pullup first routine again for 8 sets. Heavy pulldowns, heavy cable rows, and then a few sets of barbell rows (225, 265, 295, 225) to finish. Some stretching to finish. Back already getting sore while chest is still there. I gotta take time off more often, that's my first long break since the crash.

[icehog3]

Shoulder day. Not as epic as the last two days, but a solid B+. Heavy presses, rear delts, and lighter shrugs for reps.

Huy, where you at?
