Sounds like some one's been peeking in the shower again.

I leave all the old ladies with smiles on their faces. If you know what I mean.

The ones with the walkers are easier to catch. I won't even get into what they can do when they take their dentures out.

So....back to Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3. Sorry for the interruption.

I will be hitting chest and back supersets again manana.

MedicCook · 02-07-2010, 12:33 AM

I jogged to the mailbox last Wednesday. Took me 15 minutes to catch my breath.

PeteSB75 · 02-08-2010, 07:40 AM

Good lifts yesterday. Started out deadlifting, hit 315x1 easy, 345x1 was a bit tougher and 355x1 was not as hard as I thought it would be. I've hit 365x1, but only with straps, these lifts were with chalk, so I guess I have a new strap-free PR deadlift. Followed up with some squats and some ab work. I will admit, I was surprised how much a 1RM took, in terms of effort and intensity, and how tired I was after.

icehog3 · 02-08-2010, 08:34 AM

Good job, Pete!

Shoulders for me today.

Good job there brother. You make a perfect point / example. A lot of people do not understand how much of a toll going 95%+ on a lift takes on the body and the CNS. Make sure you take a nice deload on pulling ( honestly I would skip pulling altogether for a week ).

Thanks. I normally pull only once a week anyway, so will be next weekend. I figured I would squat first instead of pull first, and focus my effort on that, doing about 75-80% on the pull after. I've never actually tried for a 1RM on squat, so this will be something new for me.

The Professor · 02-08-2010, 09:27 AM

back from a legs day -- just some zerchers, high box squats, and banded deads. a bunch of chatty cathy's in the gym today; but the good news is that I FINALLY have a lifting partner for 2-days a week. he's a former college running back and we're going to do chest together starting next week.

I'm stoked.

PS, wrist still hurts. was feeling better yesterday. was feeling worse after 5 sets of 5 banded deadlifts at 225 + tightly choked bands ... which was probably not the wisest decision I've ever made.

Make sure you set the pins. Don't bother getting a spotter, unless you want some random ass dude from the gym playing grab a boob with your chest...Just set the pins, warm up right and get to business. 90% 100% 110%.

Glad to hear Dokk. Maybe he can get your ass in gear. I love the choked bands, but beware I've all but ruined my mini's. When they get choked and quaded up they tend to get jacked up...

BigFrank · 02-08-2010, 01:26 PM

Work was canceled today, so it was an early session. Most of the guys I train with are snowed in or couldn't make it so it was solo session.

Box Squats w/ Safety Squat Bar (I don't remember what the bar weight is so whatever)
180+ bar weight x5,5 270+ bar weightx5,5 270+ bar weight + pair of chainsx5,5,5
Kind of a squat deload. Felt good. Went for a little more volume than usual, but training along I tend to blast through sets.
Rack pulls ( 3rd pin set )
405x3 495x1 585x1 675x1
Went rather heavy on the rack pulls, I really do not do as well as most with these. I rely a lot on the momentum that I build out of the bottom of my Deadlift. So pulling from a dead stops blows for me...Went a little heavy, as I plan on maxing out hardcore next week.

Shoulders are cashed, and traps are devasted. Now I can know I earned my calories today...plus I have a game after work tonight.

Keep tearing it up My Brothers!

BigFrank · 02-08-2010, 01:29 PM

Good job their Tom. I dunno how you do it sometimes. Young at heart I suppose is the weapon of choice. I enjoy the Caps game yesterday. After getting into hockey somewhat, I can only imagine what playing it must be like.

That Ovechkin is some player, huh?

Frank, I just refuse to slow down with age. I am definitely in better cardiovascular shape than I was 20 years ago, and although my max lifts would be down, I am stronger for 6-12 reps on almost any exercise than I was 20 years ago too. Just a state of mind, hoping my body doesn't catch on.

BigFrank · 02-08-2010, 01:38 PM

Big deal if it does. They have chemicals for that now
