Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II

[icehog3]

I rarely go with sets of less than 6 reps, but at my age, maxing out offers more potential problems than potential progress.

[Chainsaw13]

Ok, I thought so too Leo.

Whats up, gents. Took some time out of the gym last week due to post-hurricane clean up. Trimmed fallen branches and uprooted trees, took apart broken fences, cleaned up landscaping. It was a mess and I was exhausted.

Today I hit the gym again:
Front squats 2 warm up sets then 5 x 5-6
DB Romanian deadlifts 4 x 12
DB split squats 4 x 8 per leg
Hollow rocks 4 x 25
Russian twists 4 x 30
calf raises

Felt good to get back at it!

[icehog3]

Good stuff, Leo, although I'll bet that clean-up was a workout in and of itself.

Did heavy rows the last 2 back days, so did a cable day to change it up.
