Reps go higher than 5??? Damn....

I would have never thought that either by looking at my workout log either

Hit deadlifts today

6sets of 3 reps with varying weights. Also squatted 10 sets of 3 reps with varying weights. That was it because I was pretty dead after all that. Weighed myself (I feel like it has been a while) and I'm down to 224.

Back, Shoulders, and Biceps earlier for me nothing special. Did some overhead pressing with a 2" axle was pretty brutal.

My gym did a cool 2 hour nutrition class this morning. I knew most of the basic stuff going in but did learn a lot about anaerobic fat burning, i.e. sprints on the treadmill with periods of walking. My daughters learned a lot (they workout with me) about diet, and they hear things a little better when it doesn't come out of my mouth. Hit a hard chest and tri workout afterwards, thanks to a big cup of coffee and a scoop and a half of Jack3d.

Nice Bison steak afterward...

zemekone · 12-04-2010, 03:49 PM

5 sets of 5 deadlifts 315lbs
6 sets of 3 stiff legs 205lbs
Legcurls an extensions...

Looking good there Gerry.
Lazy weekend for me. Thinking of adding another day of cardio in the routine.

Do it. Try spin, it's fun. That's what I did this morning.

Either that, or my hockey team could use a second enforcer, Frank.

BigFrank · 12-06-2010, 03:03 PM

Sadly Tom, I could only enforce in the Parking Lot. Not only can I not ice skate, but I cannot honestly think of a Hockey Rink anywhere near here, unless I drive an hour south to the Verizon Center and watch a Capitals Game.

Hockey isn't very big at all around here.

Too bad Frank, we could have been the twin towers!

Chest this morning. Last week of the 4 week program. Didn't sleep great last night and felt a little off this morning. Lifts: 210x1, 230x1, 245x1,0. the one rep at 245 I did get, I felt was at my limit, so I didn't want to add any more. I tried a second, but got stuck and had to be pulled out by my spotter. At least I hit a new PR

icehog3 · 12-07-2010, 10:51 AM

Excellent, Pete!

zemekone · 12-07-2010, 11:54 AM

missed yesterday posting:
5 sets of 5 225lbs flat bench
3 sets of 12 75lbs incline dumbell
25 pullups
50 chin ups

today was plyo day:
100 yards of frog hops
100 yards of duck walks
3 sets of 20 box jumps
5 sets of half court sprints (i hate sprints)

12-08-2010, 09:57 AM

Anyone use an H.I.T. approach for weight training? Just dropped my personal trainer(only using him for nutrition now) and looking for some direction to continue on my own.

DBall · 12-08-2010, 10:46 AM

I just learned squats a couple weeks ago, so this was my third time doing them ever. last two times I did 3 sets of 8 at 135. Today I wanted to work my way up (doing 5 or 3 each) and see where I crapped out. Got to 205 and did it twice... third time I had to escape.

I'm pretty stoked on that... I do think I could do sets w/ 165-185 and that's probably what I'll try next week.

zemekone · 12-08-2010, 11:09 AM

DEADLIFT DECEMBER!

Deadlift: 5 sets of 5 315lbs
Stiffleg deadlifts: 3 sets 10 of 185lbs
Pull througs: 5 sets of 10 of 100lbs
Goodmornings: 1 set of 10 135

kenstogie · 12-10-2010, 02:34 PM

Been hitting the gym 5 days a week for about 2 weeks AND doing the diet thing (6 meals, 3250 cals) of mostly complex carbs, protien and some simple carbs cuz I am a hard gainer. It really gives me a nice "charge"

Just thought I'd share.

BTW some one mentioned Natures Research Infinity mass builder (I am going for mass)
Thoughts on this???

BigFrank · 12-10-2010, 06:42 PM

Rocked some Back, Shoulders, and Biceps today. Busted out a new PR on the Overhead Log Press. Brutal.

To be honest Ken, I would just stick to what you are doing now. Later down the road, when you have exhausted all " natural " avenues, then look for something like this or the real thing.

PeteSB75 · 12-13-2010, 07:55 AM

Back at it today, deloading on back and a little biceps with deads,
DEADLIFT DECEMBER!
lat pulldowns, some HS low row and finished off with some 21s.
