Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II

[Chainsaw13]

Shoulders and biceps yesterday. Trainer gave me a list of exercises to do. Last intro workout with him tomorrow. Went ahead and signed up for a year at the gym too. Plan is to sign up with the trainer for a three month stint. Give me a good basis to start.

[Adriftpanda]

Awesome! Congrats!

Eww, is what I thought too. Stir fry the cauliflower with some chicken broth and some creole seasoning and it's pretty dang good. Add some slow cooked balsamic chicken with honey and it's all good!

Still on the bs diet. I get one solid meal a day and it's been pretty much the above. Sometimes I switch up the chicken with some crab.

I'd try switching up the chicken with some chicken fried steaks and hash brown potatoes with jalapeno cheese.

I am so motivated that not only did I take my regularly scheduled day off today after almost reconsidering...I am going to take an extra day off tomorrow. Might even eat sumpthin crazy bad for me.

Awesome start!

I’d try switching up the cauliflower with rice and replace the chicken with tamales and some beans.

Chicken fried steak tacos sound interesting.

Enjoy the game, Sir!

[Adriftpanda]

Lmao! Dick! I didn’t even say anything. Have a great time, Tom! Hope the blackhawks win! I’ll pray for it.

Good back day. Wanted to test out the back a bit. Didn’t want to go too heavy so stuck with 315 for deads.

Deads 4xlots @315 (back felt good but didn’t want to push it)

Hammer strength reverse pull downs

Hit some quick bis

Chest/back day.

Because my work schedule is going to be goofy the next couple months, signed up for his hybrid program. 1 day a week with him, and an online app with customized workouts to do on my own. Saves me some money too and can always pick up extra workouts with him if I have the time.

Good work Bob!

Did some shoulder and bicep work today no elliptical today, just not feeling it.

Standing over head press

I must have over did it today, or this week, my hands are trembling. I do feel good after the work though so that’s a plus.

[icehog3]

Great days, Greg, Huy and Bob. I now am inspired to tear it up. "ze

Huy, your prayers were answered with a nice 6-3 Hawks win.

[Adriftpanda]

I prayed hard...

Another leg day.... I hate/love when legs fall twice in a week.

Front squats 6x4
Single leg presses 4x10-12
Seated leg extensions - db stiff leg deads 5x12+

[bonjing]

Gained two pounds at weigh in last night, sigh. Nice sunny day today, I may take a walk after the chiroprator this afternoon.

[icehog3]

Drove to the gym yesterday, got all the way there and realized I forgot all my stuff. Said "**** it" and went home.

I'll get it in today....I think!

[icehog3]

After 3 days off I did volume for chest, mostly pressing but some flyes and stretching motions. Still feel a pump 4 hours later.

Now please give me some inspiration for tomorrow with your workouts today.

[Chainsaw13]

Another session with the trainer tomorrow, so decided to get in a workout myself today.

Shoulder press
Front shoulder raises
Side shoulder raises
Rear deltoid (used the machine)
Incline curls
Hammer curls
Ez bar curls
2.5 mile run

Was able to add a bit of weight to pretty much each set, and add a few reps on the last rounds.

[Adriftpanda]

Awesome day, I say Bob.

Kept it pretty simple today. Push with some flies

Seated db press 4x6
Incline bb press (slow negatives) 4x8
Seated cable flies

Hit some ez bar overhead tricep extensions, reverse grip push downs, to hit some tris

Nice job, Bob, sounds like an excellent day.

Simple is good, Huy.

Back day for me today, need to work off last night's tequila....
