Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
2 weeks. I did quite a bit before I was 20, but that's been 7 years ago so it feels like I've never done it before.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
Congrats on the PR, Huy.
Yup, 5 days off did me some good. I will get 3 more days off next week because of work training, and 3-4 more in mid-May for my trip to Boston. I should be completely healed after that, right? Tomorrow is supposed to be leg day, but I have hockey tomorrow night so I will throw in legs with Saturday or Sunday's workout, and just do bi's and abs tomorrow.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
Thanks, Boss.
Maybe I will take some time off, when I'm your age and have been training as long as you. For now, my body doesn't need that much rest (at least it doesn't show). 2 days is the most I will take off. Even then, I feel like could go off of one day. We are going to train at least one day while we are in SoCal! Don't give me that vacation crap.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
I train 4 on 1 off year round, and often skip the one off and train 8 straight, Brother. And yes, 37 years of training entitles me to a mini-break 4 or 5 times a year.
Train at SoCal? In a hotel's (so called) weight room? I think I will train with the Apple Pie Shine, Huy.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
How do you guys try to recover from a little injury? I've had some decent pain in my right shoulder that only bothers me when I'm doing a push. I did a lot of shoulder exercises last night and it didn't bother me at all, but if I were to try to bench press any weight it would kill me.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
I train 6 on 1 off. I would train 7 days a week and used to but I've found the 1 day of rest really makes a difference.
Injuries? I'm really stubborn about them. I will train around the injury to rest it. Then give it hell. When that doesn't work. I will take an extra day off. Then give it hell. Lots of fish oil, rock sauce (like icey hot), motrin, circumin, rhodiola, massages, kinesio tape and anything else that will help with inflammation. Tony could you be more specific on your injury? It sounds like you could benefit from some reverse grip benching.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
It's just a sharp pain in my shoulder. It feels like it's the top of the joint, and it only bothers me when I'm trying to push weight.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
I am like Christos, I am pretty stubborn about injuries. I will push through it, but decrease in weight. Anti-inflammatory medicine wouldn't hurt either. I take some multi-vitamins and fish oil daily. Although, we are all different; resting would be ideal.
Chest/back day. Touch up day. Flat bench: 4x10-15 Incline DB: 4x10-12 Hammer strength incline -- pec deck: 4x10 High rows: 4x10 (drop set) DB row: 4x8-10 Bent over reverse grip row: 4x10 Stiff arm lat pull downs: 4x10
