Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 - Page 120

Getting ready to start shoulders and arms!

The Professor · 08-12-2009, 05:53 PM

Mental note: if you're planning to do yoga in the evening, you might not want to do weighted ab exercises to failure for over 100 reps. For example, 200lb cable rope crunches or 200lb pull down abs -- bad idea. 75lb db oblique lifts -- bad idea.

Alternately, you could just not do yoga in the evening.

"Off" day my ass!

WildBlueSooner · 08-12-2009, 07:46 PM

Damn...my arms are feelin it! What a great workout today! Tomorrow is a cardio day.

I'll just add that the Depth & Box Jumps are a proven way to get it done. Adding some strength and mass will only aid you in the whole game; bonus.

elderboy02 · 08-12-2009, 10:36 PM

I did some cardio today as well as arms, shoulders, and legs

PeteSB75 · 08-13-2009, 07:45 AM

Deloading day today. Knees are bothering me a bit...

The Professor · 08-13-2009, 08:47 AM

weak leg day, today.

275lb box squats past parallel
275lb stiff legged deads
14pie leg presses
pull-throughs

no PRs, felt tired ... need to eat more today.

WildBlueSooner · 08-13-2009, 04:26 PM

Today is cardio...plan on getting in a run in this Louisiana heat and humidity!

The Professor · 08-14-2009, 08:48 AM

Shoulders and traps, today. I need a lifting partner so bad, it's not even funny. PRed on db shoulder presses and rear delt raises. Did farmer's walks for the first time, which was cool

... except for the people who would get in my way, which was lame.

Starchild · 08-14-2009, 10:02 AM

Todays workout was high bar back squats. I really worked on form and depth on these. Felt good.

Starscream · 08-14-2009, 10:54 AM

I go back to work on Wednesday. Can't wait to get back in the gym!

BigFrank · 08-14-2009, 02:53 PM

some light squatting in a few, then some chinese food. lol

i just watched 2 girls one cyst, nasty.

The Professor · 08-14-2009, 03:29 PM

If that is anything like 2g1c, I'm not sure I could finish it.

Enjoy your Chinese food!

Today was my off day...tomorrow cardio and abs and Monday begins my recovery week!

The Professor · 08-15-2009, 10:08 PM

Off day for me, too. No lifting.

Just some cardio.

Tomorrow will be racquetball.

I love me some racquetball!

I tweaked my knee a bit doing overhead squats on Saturday, so I took it a bit easy on todays workout.

Warm up:
1600 m run

Crosfit WOD:
30 kettle bells
30 cleans 95lbs (I did hang power cleans)
30 back extensions
30 pull ups
30 second handstand
30 deadlifts 95lbs
300 jump rope

My time was 22:44

King James · 08-17-2009, 09:25 AM

Haven't been in this thread in awhile, and have been slacking a little bit with lifting. Back on schedule this week and will pop my head in a little more often

BigFrank · 08-17-2009, 02:00 PM

Off work today due to some family issues...

Hit the gym early, did some bench. incline, dips then ropes. I think I may do dips before incline or skip incline all together, my dips really blew ass after incline press.

Managed to gain 6 lbs during my week of deload. I have no idea how this happened, but according to the gym scale this occurred. I think I need to weigh myself more often, keep track of it and/or get my own scale. The one at the gym is seriously questionable. As in step on it 4 times in a row and get 4 wide varying weights.

Meet I am gearing up for is Nov. 7th. As of right now that gives me roughly 11 weeks. Weight is no where near where I want it, and I really would like to avoid dropping weight days before. This has ruined me in the past. Strength is so so. But then again I dont think anyone is ever happy with that. Deadlifting feels terrible in recent weeks but squat and bench feel better. Dunno right now. Got Vacation at the end of the month. Before I leave I will cook up a game plan when I get back.

WildBlueSooner · 08-18-2009, 06:26 AM

Today is day 2 of my recovery week, core synergistics for today!
