Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
I try to drink a gallon of water every day. I've been watching calorie intake. Not so much carbs. Eat whatever strikes me as good. Mainly because when I do get to eat, it's at work at their cafeteria. I usually drink a protein shake mid-afternoon or some peanut butter and crackers. I take a MV called Vitalert. It's got tons of everything. I've only been hitting the gym about twice a week with a little cardio. about a mile on the treadmill to warm the body up and get the heart rate going, then I do lunges, then on to my leg, arm, back, shoulder, chest (whatever I feel like focusing on) workout. I typically have about 30 seconds between sets at 8 to 10 reps in each set.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
I still haven't been able to hit they gym due to whatever it is I strained doing squats last Sunday, but it's been getting gradually better ever since so I'm not too worried about it. I made a discovery today though by taking 400mg of ibuprofin before riding to class, and there's no throbbing headache at all. Is there any reason I shouldn't take 2 ibuprofin and go hit the gym tonight? I was thinking about going light-ish and doing chest/biceps sans cardio to keep my heart rate relatively low.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
I have been eating so unhealthy because of end of the semester b.s.. Skipping meals, going to buffets, I need to vamp up the intensity in the weightroom to make up for my slack @$$ diet

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
I'm always sore to the point of being literally crippled when I lift after a long absence from the gym. Give yourself a week or two to get back in the swing of things, and you shouldn't be too sore anymore after lifting. I usually feel tightness in the worked muscle-groups after I lift.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Hadn't done any lower back stuff in a while. Did a bunch of back extensions after my chest/tri workout today. Really stiff this afternoon. That'll learn me to skip them...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Alright guys, so I just completed my first two days back training. My arms are still sore, but managable so I can do arms again tomorrow. But after my leg workout I think I'm gonna be so sore that I probably will have difficulty walking up stairs or bending over. Question: I'm gonna go ahead and do arms again tomorrow, but if my legs are so sore that it hurts to move them, should I attempt to do another leg workout, or should I take another couple of days to rest them?

What's your current routine like now? As a rule of thumb I always try to keep my training routine broken up as to prevent overtraining certain body parts. Good example of this would be, training back than the following day training legs. To me this is too much stress on the lower back. Similar concept for Chest shoulders triceps and back and biceps. You get the idea. Next time try some stretching out / foam roller work post workout. Really cuts down on the sore lower back. |

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
I'm not at the gym. Training w/ dumbells at home for starters. Gym will come later.
Arms: Curls, inlcine bench press, Seated row to neck, Shoulder press Legs: Static Lunge, Goblet squats, Dumbell Stepups. I'm a 6'1" 260lbs fat@$$ who hasn't lifted a weight or worked out serioulsly in about a year (I did some Taebo over the summer) I did both the arm and leg workouts w/ 15lbs dumbells (30lbs total). Yes I'm starting out very lightweight. Even though I'm starting out lightweight, I'm sore as $h!t!

You could toss in some kickbacks or extensions for triceps, maybe 1 arm rows too. |
