Sorry for my absence from this thread fellas. Workouts have been lack luster and life has been busy to say the least. I will return to my normal posting.
Looking to do a shirted bench meet Oct 23rd.

Pete what does your leg routine look like? What goals you trying to accomplish. I'll whip something up for ya to do for a few weeks.

Good stuff Frank....yesterday the T-Bar rowing bar was still broken, and I didn't feel like going old-school off the floor as my lower back was a little tight. I went with Barbell Rows, Pull-ups, Dumbbell Rows, Barbell Shrugs, Upright Rows, Dumbbell Rows and Rear Lateral Raises.

Legs today...wish me luck.

PeteSB75 · 07-12-2010, 09:48 AM

Spin and abs (crunches, planks, medicine ball toss) on Saturday, spin yesterday.

Did legs this morning. plenty of time warming up and stretching, then deads and squats, then some ab work. In the past I've done a lot of different things, but not sure what will help my squat and dead the most.

icehog3 · 07-12-2010, 03:07 PM

Crushed my legs yesterday....went in on my "off day" today becuase I woke up with loads of energy....busted out shoulders, traps and arms. Feeling good lately (knock on wood).

Stronger without getting too much bigger.

I decided today that I'm not going to order from TrueProtein.com ever again

The shakes just have the worst flavor ever.

Right now I'm on a quest to get to 240lbs. I weighed in today at 222.1 lbs. Hopefully I can add the most muscle in my upper body in the process.

ON Rocky Road, Son....I wouldn't steer you wrong.

What is your name?

What is your quest?

What is the average airspeed velocity of an unlaiden swallow?

African or European?

Chest and some tris today, flat bench, pushups off the bench, cable flys, finished up with some dips. Good stuff. Haven't worked my chest that hard in a while, need to do it more often

To each his own, My Brother.

Chest day today, heading out shortly.

GreekGodX · 07-13-2010, 09:21 AM

ON rocky road will be ordered soon

Shoulders, Shoulders and Shoulders today. Partial press, Push Press and some Power shrugs.

BigFrank · 07-13-2010, 04:48 PM

I just drink the Chocolate. Lately it's been whoever has the cheapest shiznit...

Last Night was squats. Got some used squat shoes that kick ass.
Safety Bar Squats
Deadlifts
Leg Press

That was about all I could handle last night. Really wore myself out squatting. So the pulls were lack luster as hell. Switched over to sumo pull, and after SSB I pretty much had zero in the tank.

PeteSB75 · 07-15-2010, 07:49 AM

Back/Shoulders today. Hang cleans superset with pullups then press and finished up with HS low rows. Heavy but not crazy.

BigFrank · 07-15-2010, 05:15 PM

Benched last night
2 board work
inclines
DB Kaz Presses
Push downs
pec deck

Buying a new shirt this week. Hopefully the meet will be a go in Oct. So far the guy who is thinking about running it has yet to decide.

Mugen910 · 07-15-2010, 09:27 PM

BigFrank · 07-18-2010, 11:33 AM
