Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II

[swingerofbirches]

I prefer alone as well, Huy. The occasionally buddy lift is fun but on the whole I just prefer to take my time. When I'm there with the wife I always feel rushed since she can't go for as long as me HEYO! lol

Have a good move!

[NeuRon]

hit back and biceps at 8am with this friggin gal.. she had to drag my old ass out of there.. lol

[icehog3]

Heading to the gym in a few, finally feel like myself this morning. I think that's a good thing.

Don't piss her off, Ron.

[swingerofbirches]

That's awesome, Ron! A lot of guys would kill for their better half to be a lifter.

Glad you're feeling good today, Tom. Kill it!

Had a decent arm session today and finished up with some front squats.

Everyone have a great weekend!

[NeuRon]

Hehe thanks guys.. I truly am blessed. I will be the first to admit that. She gives me motivation everyday! Glad yer feeling back on par Tom!

Btw, Id kill for her genetics. Lol.

[Adriftpanda]

Quad game on point.

[icehog3]

Thanks Guys....felt good today but man, the shoulder was singing. That pain that makes you unconsciously hold your breath. I got through the workout, got a good pump, but it was not fun.

Huy, did you settle on a new gym?

Ron, does she have a single sister?

Enjoy your weekend as well, Charlie.

[NeuRon]

Lol. Actually she does. Irish twin. 11 months younger hehe

[Adriftpanda]

No sir, most likely tomorrow. There's a Golds near by.

[icehog3]

Good luck with the hunt, Huy.

She doesn't happen to live in Chicago, does she Ron?

[dijit]

Ron, one word. WOW

Tom dont kill the shoulder too bad.

Huy hope the search turns out good for you.

If I missed anyone sorry what can I say I am old.

2 more weeks of circuits and daily cardio before I start the hard stuff but still not giving in. I think my body is screwing with me though. Working out 5 or 6 days a week for the past 5 weeks and I have gained 3 lbs. Now I could understand that if I was 6-3 and weighed 145 but really 6-3 and 290 I should be getting lighter!

[icehog3]

Maybe lost fat but gained muscle, Bob?

[icehog3]

Supersetted back and shoulders today.

Barbell rows - Seated military 205/135, 235/165, 255/175, 275/185, 295/195, 235/175, 205/155

T-bar rows - Icarian press 225/165, 270/180, 270/195, 225/210

Finished off with cable rows 240, 260, 290, and 3 sets of dead hangs.

[Adriftpanda]

Chest and back.

Incline DB 4x12+ w/1 heavy set for 6

Flat pause bench 4x5 - behind neck pull ups 4x6-8
DB flies 4x8-12 - bent over v grip row 4x8-11
Neautral grip pull down 4x10 - push ups 4x15+

played around with some abs for a bit.

[icehog3]

Gold's, Huy?

[Adriftpanda]

No. A 24 hour fitness. The Golds is about 10 miles away in La traffic so that means it's about 3 hours and 47 minutes. I'll just stick with 24 for now. There is a cross fit gym near by

haha, thanks man.. I appreciate that.. she has come a long way.. she was a cardio bunny when I met her. She has had quite a before-and-after transformation. like I said, she has the genes!


BTW, hows your eating? proper eating before and after your workouts?

in regards to your weight/workouts; I encountered a similar situation after my surgery. Since I had to refrain from lifting heaving (and for 5-6 weeks, lifting at all). Then I was abke to do cardio again. When I started to do lifting again, I literally gained like 12lbs in mere days. I was bloated, watery and full. But I think just changing my workout patterns; combined with changing my eating as well just made me hold water. Managing glycogen can be a VERY tricky subject.

Care to explain your circuit workouts more? and to dabble a little bit on your goals? caloric intake, etc.. id love to try to help as best as I can!

50 bucks says she couldn't even find Chicago on a map of Illinois, lol.. If you catch my drift

[swingerofbirches]

Yesterday was a "rest day" but I hate those so I did a continuous 3x circuit of 5min rowing & 3x100 battle ropes (30sec quick count rest between rope sets)

This morning was similar ... 5x circuit of 500m rowing & 5x50 (10sec quick count rest between rope sets)

I'll get some chest in tonight when I accompany the wife to the gym for her cardio

Shakeology preworkout and post workout is usually a boiled egg and some greens of some sort. I dont recharge carbs till usually 3 or 4 hours later and then try to keep it down to less than 20% of my total intake.

Daily caloric intake is about 2100.

Workout right now consists of
5 to 10 min warm up on bike or other stationary device.
Machine crunches 3 sets of 20
Leg press 3 sets of 15 or to fail on last set
Leg ext 3 sets 15
Leg curl 3 sets 15
Fly 3 sets of 15
Bench 3 sets of 15
Pull Downs 3 sets of 15 or to failure
Seated rows 3 sets of 15
Shoulder press (front) 3 sets of 15
Alternate or preacher curls 3 sets of 15
Tricep press or machine dips 3 sets of 15
Lower back extensions 3 sets of 15 to 20
5 min warm down on the bike

all sets are with 30 sec breaks between sets and later in the Day my dog and I take a 1 to 1.5 mile walk 4 or 5 days a week.
