Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II

[icehog3]

Still impressive, Charlie!

Back day today...shoulder felt good enough to try and rip the lats with pullups at bodyweight

Pullups 16, 13, 13, 12, 11, 11
Neutral grip pulldowns 180, 200, 220, 240, 260 supersetted with 8 pullups
T-bar rows 225, 250, 270, 225 suppersetted with 6 pullups

That was it, quick, and back is still PLAMFed 6 hours later.

Rows SS w/ Pull-ups ... you, sir, are the impressive one. I doubt I could manage a single body weight pull up lol

[icehog3]

Used to be able to get 22-23 pullups on the first set, but it seems like I need to work around my shoulder issues when I do them now. Today was a good day, pullups hit me diffrerently than any other back exercise, I wish I could do them every back day, Charlie. But I still think 50+ days of squats is the impressive, crazy feat of this group right now.

[swingerofbirches]

22-23 pull ups?!?! Good heavens! You've got me thinking about adding assisted pull-ups into my back routine.

Day 56 ... Squats (front/wide) ... basic sets up to 225

[icehog3]

Hopefully I can work back up to that this summer, Charlie.

Where there cookies a quarter mile away, Huy?

[Adriftpanda]

Ha! Oh cookies...

I had 10+ cookies, smores, and a 6x6 with 2 orders of fries from In n Out...

[icehog3]

6X6? You got a big (purty) mouth, Boy.....

I could go for a smores though, right f*cking now.

[swingerofbirches]

Squats (front/close/pause) - progression up to 225 (heavy today; no pre-workout lol)

Chest and a little bit of Tris as supplementary lift.

Cookies, Smores ... both sound good but I could really go for some pizza lol

[icehog3]

Don't make me hungry, Charlie. You seem well on your to triple digit days of squatting.

Off today, I'll do double workouts Tuesday and Wednesday, then off for a 4 day break. Not really feeling like I need a break, so it should be good....heal up and come back hungry for the weights.

[swingerofbirches]

You're not taking a break for you, you're just giving the weights a much needed break

Of all the things to crave when I'm low carb it's always pizza. I don't even eat it very often when I'm eating what I want so idk why it's the big craving. I miss cheese fries a lot too. That's definitely another top craving. Seems like I miss the bread and starch more than the desserts.

[Adriftpanda]

I'll have some pizza for you this week, Charlie.

[swingerofbirches]

Am I missing something? Are Good Mornings not supposed to be done heavy? If I talk to a buddy about that lift they're always surprised by the amount of weight. I've even checked to make sure I'm doing it right. Start in back squat position, feet just wider than shoulders with toes slightly out, back straight, drive hips back and only bend knees slightly to try to bring the spine as low as you can without sacrificing the straightness. Reverse movement by driving hips forward and utilizing lower back and glutes. Glutes squeeze at top. Am I missing something?

[icehog3]

Sounds right, Charlie, 3156 is jut super heavy. You have a lower back of steel!
