Deloading chest today, so a bit of bench, then triceps.

Nice lite chest work out last night

3 x 12's across the board

incline
flat
cable decline
cable incline
pec-deck

for the last few sets I tried throwing in some push-ups between sets, damn that throws a curveball in the routine.

Out of curiosity, what is the weakest part of the chest or does that depend on the person?

[GreekGodX]

Deadlifts and legs again today. Just grueling workout. Time for some food!!!

[DBall]

Legs today... upped my weight for squats and leg stuff in general.

Great chest and tri workout tonight. Getting awful sore right where my left front delt attaches at the top. No pain during the workout but now it feels strained. Any guesses?

You should stretch more?

Legs for me today, squats, front squats, and some calves.

[Patrick B]

I stretch quite a bit, but could always do more. Taking a dose of scotch before bed, that always helps.

Ice after the workout will help with any inflamation. Be careful with that area and make sure you not lifting beyond the natural movement range.

Now that I think about it, I threw in a few sets of pretty deep cable crossovers that I usually don't do. Those will not be repeated. Great leg workout today. Threw an extra 10lb on the squat and kept the same reps and sets as last week. Maybe one last trip to the gym tomorrow for shoulders and core work before a nice two week break in sunny Florida.

[GreekGodX]

Shoulder and chest workout yesterday. Really got into some pushups with bands for some added resistance. Also did some work with blast straps that I bought (similiar to trx band but much cheaper).

Back and Biceps today. Going to do some sled work on my makeshift sled at the gym. Just need to come up with something that will give enough friction so the weights don't slide off

[kenstogie]

Been trying to use the free weights alot more with the addition of the machines to isolate certain muscles (cybex at my gym) and they really do seem to give me much more of a "pump".

I also notice though that my core is also getting a workout as it needs to support the weight.

Also after about 2-3 weeks the girlfriend has started to notice the change and I feel so much better about everything which she noticed too.

Of course the diet has changed ALOT too. 6 meals/day 35g ptn, 300 cal plus a little creatine. I did before and I am doing it again.


+2 for exercise

[PeteSB75]

Shoulders and a little bit of abs this morning. DB Press, Hang Cleans, and some crunches. Spin tomorrow.

[BigFrank]

Sorry for my absence fellas. Been a little banged up and fighting off some small cold this week.

[icehog3]

Feel better, Frank.

[BigFrank]

Thanks there Tom. It hasnt been anything major, but I felt something brewing so I started my anti-cold/flu regiment and I think it kept it from getting full swing.

[bonjing]

Hope you feel better Frank.

Finished up the week doing some back and shoulder work and threw in some ab machine.

Since I was alone in the gym felt like goofing off and tried the thigh press thingy. Read how to use it tried 3 sets of 20, what the hell right , I see the women doing it. 3 days later my groin still hurts

[PeteSB75]

Spin on Saturday. Deads, lat pulldowns, bit of rowing and some curls this morning.

I was thinking about this today with regards to Propecia. While the main focus of it is hair loss prevention, the Olympics and other committees ban athletes from using it because it allows for more testosterone to be in the bloodstream(jose theodore was not allowed to participate in an Olympics due to taking it). Would taking Propecia along with some kind of pro-hormone supplement essentially create even more testosterone? It wouldn't even come close to taking the real deal but perhaps provide a boost in performance enough so to get some small gains? Some food for thought I guess.
