Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II

[icehog3]

Shoulder felt really good today, but I stayed relatively light with high reps to keep her that way.

Seated military press 165, 165, 165, 175, 185, 195, 205, 165
Barbell shrugs 275, 275, 275, 315, 315

That's it...shoulders feel pumped and suprisingly pain free...almost.

[Adriftpanda]

What are your goals, lashun? Tough to give any advice without knowing what you are looking to do.

looking to shed some weight mostly

[icehog3]

Maybe one of the cardio guys can chime in with a program, I mostly train for strength, and get all of my cardio playing ice hockey. If you get a program you like, keep us up to date on how it's going for you.

[cigarmarine]

I'll keep you posted

Nice day of training, Tom. Like the wide gripe press.

[icehog3]

Yeah, they really hit the chest in a completely different way, Huy.

Back day today, early start too.

[Adriftpanda]

Ditto. Same here.

[icehog3]

Did a super high rep day 20-25 reps per set. I had to dial the weight way back after the first exercise, the T-bar reps took it out of me.

Leg day...

[icehog3]

Crush those legs tomorrow, Huy.

I hit shoulders today, not nearly as pain-free as last time unfortunately. Decided to forgo the last couple heavier sets, and cut my rest time between sets by more than 1/2, yet keep the reps high. Actually got a good workout by changing the intensity even though strength and flexibility were low.

Seated Military 135, 155, 175, 195, 175, 155, 135

Barbell Shrugs 225, 275, 275, 275, 315, 365 Last three sets I held the last rep I could do in the fully contracted position for 10-12 seconds (no wraps). My traps are burning but good right now.

Leg day......

[Adriftpanda]

That's what I basically did today, Tom. Lighten the load on my front squats due to soreness in the lower back from siting on the couch all day yesterday basically. Turn the rest period down a bit and focused a lot more on squeezing at the bottom of my squats, basically a nice 3-5 second pause.

Front squats 4x8 @ 275
Leg press 5x15-20
Lying leg curls 5x12-20
Single leg extensions 4x12-15
Bb stiff leg deads 4x8-12

That's a wrap. Post workout meal was 8oz of bison, brown rice with broccoli... And 2 slices of pumpkin cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory.

[icehog3]

Excellent, Huy....especially the cheesecake.
