Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 - Page 107

The Professor · 06-16-2009, 09:09 AM

chest and tris today. db flat bench, db incline, incline flyes, overhead rope extensions, press-downs. my traps were *killing* me from yesterday's triplex; so that made things interesting at points.

happy lifting to all!

Starscream · 06-16-2009, 02:26 PM

Had to make up for lost time today. Legs, chest, and triceps today. I'm worn out...

icehog3 · 06-16-2009, 02:27 PM

Lifted on my day off, did some arms and traps. Killer bicep workout.

Workouts, work and hockey tomorrow and Thursday...I should be worthless in the gym Friday.

I haven't tried the creatine ethyl ester, as the manufacturers who are marketing it aren't any of the names I necessarily trust. I am not sure if I would even be interested though, as for my purposes, the water retention in my joints is actually a desired effect.

What brands to your guys use, do you know?

My guys order creatine ethyl ester from trueprotein.com. Unlike some creatine supplements which are blended with simple carbs, potassium, artificial flavors, etc., trueprotein.com's creatine ethyl ester is pure creatine ethyl ester and nothing else. So while the stuff tastes like complete crap and you'll have to mix dextrose/maltodextrin/etc. in yourself if you prefer your creatine served with simple carbs, it's also pretty affordable.

If I may ask, why are you looking to retain extra water in your joints?

Did a boxing aerobic class last night. Kicked my ass...

Because he's like 82 years old and needs all the joint lubrication he can get.

Hmmmm....

Perhaps I shouldn't say things like this days before I'm seeing the Admiral.

Dokk isn't that far off base. I have been lifting heavy for 32 years, and when I am on the creatine my joints feel more "fluid" and I am able to lift heavier and more intensely because pain isn't so much a factor.

The Professor · 06-19-2009, 09:38 AM

Yesterday sucked. Don't know what was wrong.

Today ... in honor of Big Dave ... I did cUrLz 4 da Gur1Z.

Yeah ... tris, bis, and shoulders ... with lots of bis.

Gotta get a pump for the MoB herf, after all.

icehog3 · 06-19-2009, 09:44 AM

Shoulders and arms for me too, Dokk....maybe we can have a posedown at the herf.

I've only got one pose, Admiral: blob.

Chris. · 06-19-2009, 09:55 AM

back chest and legs last night after work. Super setting all of it.

trader1974 · 06-19-2009, 09:57 AM

Started the week off strong, but with a sick kid the last two nights haven't been able to get in the gym for the last two mornings.

Oh well, there's always next week!

Starscream · 06-19-2009, 12:24 PM

Back and bis for me today. Plus 30 minutes on the elliptical.

PeteSB75 · 06-19-2009, 12:34 PM

Been off this week. Not sleeping well and sour stomach - too much stress. So I've not worked out at all since Tuesday. Got a Dewars tasting tonight at my local cigar club, so maybe I'll go tomorrow

pnutbutrsangwich · 06-19-2009, 12:41 PM

I need to get back in the gym. I took a month off and now I'm totally lost. Would it be best to hire a trainer for a few sessions to get going or are there other online resources that can put together a good program for me?

Continued gains in strength on shoulders today, plus a good arm workout. I earned tomorrow off.

You've been lifting heavy longer than I've been alive, sir! LOL.

Lately, my shoulders have been acting less than happy. I've contemplated seeing my doc, but there's no serious pain, and I'd rather not receive instructions to not bench for the next 6 months . . . However, I was wondering if you had any recommendations on what kind of supplements to take to improve shoulder health?
