Nice workouts, Huy and Rob.

One (or maybe two) more for me and then I get 4 or 5 days off. I'm torn, lifts are going really well, but I also know my body will benefit from the short break.

Adriftpanda · 03-18-2014, 08:40 PM

Back is feeling sore already, love it. Did drop set on all my heavy lifts today.

Did some bi's, incline curls and hammer curls.

RobR1205 · 03-18-2014, 09:57 PM

icehog3 · 03-19-2014, 12:21 AM

Got in legs (squats and hammie curls), bi's (cambered curls, barbell curls and preacher curls) and shoulders (seated militarys, shrugs) today, and plan on one last workout tomorrow AM before I take 4 days off for a mini-vacation.

Keep tearing it up, Boys.

Adriftpanda · 03-19-2014, 07:44 AM

Wish I was going this weekend, have fun brother

RobR1205 · 03-19-2014, 08:46 AM

Good for you, Tom. Enjoy it! Still gotta work out a few more weeks before I earn a rest week

icehog3 · 03-19-2014, 09:12 AM

Thanks Rob and Huy.

Huy, I keep hoping I am gonna get there and find you decided to suprise us.

Off to the gym for one last day before the rest. A little of everything that I didn't hit yesterday.

Adriftpanda · 03-19-2014, 02:48 PM

A couple things. I love/hate training out of town. Love that I could use some different machines, hate that all the weights are never reracked (don't be that guy). Hate that I had to park about 1/2 mile and today was quad day.

RobR1205 · 03-23-2014, 06:06 PM

Leg / Ab Day for me:

More Squats, pyramid-ed to 405x3 again. I'm finding that squatting without shoes really helps put the weight on my heels, not my toes. Also threw in some various ab exercises to end the day.

Excited that I finally pulled the trigger on a 6" leather weight-lifting belt to prevent injury on the >315lb squats. It was tough to find a belt since my waist size happens to be between the medium and large sized ones.

Adriftpanda · 03-23-2014, 07:27 PM

Nice work. If you haven't gotten the belt yet, look into Inzer belts, best bang for your buck.

Adriftpanda · 03-24-2014, 02:04 PM
