Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II

[Adriftpanda]

Got it, that's what I figured. Thanks Brother.

Little nervous but fingers crossed. We will see...

[icehog3]

I got my fingers crossed for you too, My Brother. Lotsa old guy Karma coming your way.

[Sancho]

Good luck Huy, keeping you in my thoughts.

Thanks for the advice on the ON, will have to look into that as GNC is robbing me blind.

Tonight:
Squat 70# 5x5
Bench press 100# 5x5
Pendlay Row 75# 5x5

Finally broke triple digits on bench, felt pretty good. Just gotta work on getting the other stuff there as well. Can finally see some definition to my arms and back

[Adriftpanda]

Thanks guys!

Had a couple days of good training while down south in LA.

Back on Monday - same routine as you, Tom. Just started off with deadlifts and finished off with all grips for pull ups 4x10

Legs last night - usually legs are my longest day, around an hour half or more. Short on time so I got in and out around 1:15.

Heavy front squats 4x4, 3x6-8
DB walking lunges 4x10 each leg
Lying leg curls 5x12-15
Seated leg extensions 5x12-15

Nice, Chris! In time, everything will increase my friend.

I stopped going to GNC years ago. If you're looking to order supplements, bodybuilding.com is my main source for protein and bcaas

Nice leg day!

Yeah, I was cruising their site last night. Seems they're pretty competitive price wise.

Yesterday was:
Squats 5x5
OHP 5x5
Deadlifts 2x5

10-15 minutes with my dynaflex in the evening.

[icehog3]

Teaked something in my lower back overnight, so the last rep (failure) of every set was pianful today. Hoping it's a short term thing.

High Rep day for chest.

Incline press 195, 215, 235, 255, 225
Vertical Bench 250, 275, 300, 325, 275
Icarian Incline 200, 180, 190
Bench Press 215, 235, 255, 275, 225
Machine Flyes 205, 205, 235

[Adriftpanda]

Hope you feel better soon, Tom. It's a frustrating injury, been there many times.

Took yesterday off. Body just needed it. Light legs and back today.

[Sancho]

Take a rest day Tom, no sense putting pain into your back. How has your shoulder been holding up?

Squat 80 5x5
Bench 105 5x5

You will get back in the groove, Chris.

Skipped a scheduled day for the first time in a long time....tough game last night, didn't fall asleep until 3, and just couldn't drag myself outta bed at 9. Slept in 'til 10:30. Back at it tomorrow, and will train on my scheduled day off Saturday to make up.

[Sancho]

Yeah, I hear ya Tom. I'll be training Saturday to make up. Hopefully you cleaned house at the rink.
