Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Found my new home!
Ive used melatonin in the past, also gave me crazy nightmares. I used to take ZMA before bed. It would help me sleep more soundly, but the zinc in it is a natural diuretic and would make me get up 2+ times a night to drain the lil guy. Zemekone, are you using this thread as a specifically Q&A thread or just workout banter and workouts etc? |

Tore up back today....put 5 plates on the T-bar, started with 19 reps and kept going until I could only get 10. Did the same with barbell rows at 225, though I pushed out a final set at 275 to tear it up. Finished with pull-ups, a couple sets of wide grip pulldowns at 290, and finally repped out a couple sets of cable rows at 240....I am spent!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Admiral,
Seems like T Bar rows are a staple in your workouts. Any specific reason or thoughts? I have never really done them What do you think the major benefits are?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Thats odd tom, you find the narrow grip works the outter lats, general thought is narrow grip targets that middle area lower traps. I feel a little stretch in my lats from a narrow grip but I always find my upper back / middle upper (Rhomboid area I guess) to be sore.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
DZ?!?!?! THOSE ARE MY INITIALS WHO YOU CALLIN SLEAZY!
HAHA JK Interesting about those T Bars....I was reading and a lot of powerlifters do that to help build big lats.They also do this because they need them to have huge bench numbers, and this is an exercise like you said where you can load up a lot of weight I think they are interesting because I like to do opposite movements on the same day...I.E Bench press then rows

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Never really seen much as far as close grip t bar rows as per powerlifting. more focus upon wide grip rowing and wide grip pulls. Most emphasis on lats, building stabilizing and explosive power out of the bottom.
But I guess it really depends on hand position on the T bar rows. |

Had a nice workout today. First time full flat benching with full range of motion in I dont know how long. 185x5 225x5 275x3 315x3 365x1 385x1 405x1 420x2 225x28 I am happy that I was able to rehab through my shoulder injuries and put up some ok numbers for low reps. This is also pretty early for us. We haven't done a lot of max loading. I contribute this to the mental psyche of having done more weight before and not wanted to look like an ass. Hope everyone gets a good week of lifting in, and then lots of Rest and Recovery come turkey day!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Today begins my new workout.... trying to cut off a little fluff. Have a good workout made up, but my problem is the how to eat part... what can I say, I like taco bell! I'm already down like 10-15 lbs from my highest, maybe lose 15-20 more of "fluff" and then gain it back in muscle. I've decided Turkey Day doesn't count though, because I have to eat alot on Thanksgiving!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Jim, crazy thing is I probably take in less calories on Thanksgiving than most other days....I try not to eat much until dinner, then stuff myself so much in one meal that I don't eat the rest of the night!
Dave, sounds like you are gonna have one helluva max on bench before it is all said and done.
