Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
did 3 sets of 10 at 115lbs on the bench today... woot! I hit my goal. Next goal should be with 45s on each side... 3 sets of 5, maybe?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
It couldn't be worse, Brother. I am wondering if something in the adhesive they used all over my head and face for the electrodes gave me the headache. I will definitely bring some pain killers to the next one.

I am afraid to ask more...

Second workout of the bench progression this morning. Wasn't sure I'd be able to get it done, energy levels still not at full after the fever I had this weekend, but I was able to get through it. Tomorrow will be fun though Today was 185x1, 205x1, 220x1, 185x10 on the bench, followed by curls and dips. I was shot by the end.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Hit back yesterday. Used the rest/pause technique on DB Rows and was able to do 3x8 with 110 pounds. I definitely feel a big difference in my energy when I have more carbs, which really helps keep my strength up even with a deficiency in calories.

I agree that the pain killer might have some effect on my sleep, but there is no way I would lay there again for hours with a migraine that severe, Pete...it was horrible. Not sure if there would be anyway to tell for sure if it was the adhesive without it happening again. I will ask the techs about the pain killers and their effects, though.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
The climb to two plates a side is pretty quick unless you are older. After two plates, most people plateau or slow their rate of increase significantly.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Stick with it Pete. Just remember when you perform those 1 reps you should be trying to push it as fast as humanly possible with every muscle, prep you for that big 1RM.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
I'm already looking forward to the off week after it's done... I'm normally fast on lighter squats, and as they get heavier, I still keep the actual exercise as quick as I can. If I don't, I will wind up getting stuck and having to dump it. I've not made the intensity a focus in that way in the past though. I will try it next week for both bench and squats.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Bench last night. Worked with some chains, keep the weight light at the bottom due to some shoulder issues ( nothing major, slept on it wrong )...
Hope all the lifting crew has a good thanksgiving. I'm going to stuff myself retarded. With sweatpants in hand!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Holy crap.
Went to the gym this morning with my friend who power lifts. He taught me legs.... did (for the first time ever) squats (3x8x135), deads (1x8x135 & 2x8x185) and good mornings (2x8x95) followed by a couple sets of leg extensions at 150. As for the squats, deads and gm's, I find it nearly impossible to keep my back straight (except gm's... I actually like those because I feel like I can engage my core more)... it's such an odd movement. He said I did pretty good for my first time, but I could feel myself being sloppy. I'll get better with practice. Aside from that, I almost fell down walking home. Happy turkey day, workout crew. |
