Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 - Page 259

Heavy chest this morning. Was distracted and didn't get in the work I wanted to as one of my contacts was bothering me. Got home and took it out to see a rip down the middle of it. Damn thing ruined my workout...

Patrick B · 03-01-2011, 01:19 PM

I hate that, Pete. Had one screwing with me during an otherwise enjoyable round of golf over the weekend. I think I'm going to start packing an extra set at all times.

Shoulders for me today. Lots of shrugs and lateral raises...

icehog3 · 03-01-2011, 02:07 PM

I'm back.

Missed y'all, looking forward to getting and giving some motivation again.

I remember in the early 90's, my friends doing spot injections into the calves thinking that would make them grow.

taurine and drinking lots of fluid will keep that away...

bailed on monday from squatting, I love squatting but i think I have a hernia or two. might head in to bench tonight not sure, if I do it will be light. doctors on friday.

Haven't posted up in here in, well, forever. Figured I'd give a brief update. After my 4month exodus a while back (due to injury) I got back to lifting and have returned to form.

Got passed some pretty major obstacles on the way back to where I was pre-injury. In fact, in virtually all lifts I have surpassed my previous 1RM weight.

Bench is now 290 (pretty good for me)
Deadlift is now 481
Pullup is now 314
Squat is now 399 ~ only 6 more lbs to equal my previous.

Not too shabby... Training hard and with purpose. My goals are:
Squat - over 405
Dead - over 500
Bench - 315+
Pullup - 350

A friend of mine is one of the most successful personal trainers around Boston and we are working out this weekend. Not as client/trainer, but ends up being kinda like that either way. Saves me the $100+ per session. I'll have to provide the booze and cigars for after....

My kinda post-workout, Moses!

Back on tap today.

Da Klugs · 03-08-2011, 09:20 AM

Need some diversity. Been doing push-ups every day since September of last year. 90 - 10 breaths, then 20 slow and full is the routine for the past few months.

Tried jumping jacks for a while but popped a hammie and stopped to get ready to go skiing in January.

Need some cardio advice - seems like I'm only motivated to do things right out of bed so needs to be available right then.

icehog3 · 03-08-2011, 10:23 AM

Have any cardio equipment at home, Dave?

GreekGodX · 03-08-2011, 10:32 AM

Not sure on space limitations but a jump rope could work

Nordic Ski is king followed by Concept II for home, but former does not come easy.

Have an old schwinn Airdyne in the basement. It's a beast and what I used a decade ago to drop 40 lbs in 40 days. (Along with diet)

icehog3 · 03-08-2011, 03:09 PM

Maybe trying a couple devices at a club (or even a hotel's fitness room) might give you an idea of what feels comfortable and what you like. A one day pass to a club and try out the eliptical, stair-master, etc.

Patrick B · 03-10-2011, 09:52 PM

I'm a big fan of the Extreme C4. Not as big of an initial hit as the Jack3d. Identical workout energy boost in my opinion with a great pump. Tastes great, like a very sugary koolaid. No crash a couple hours later like Jack3d was giving me.

I got Gerainamo from trueprotein.com Taste is ok, not the worst tasting stuff ever but it is definitely the best preworkout I've taken. I get a better focus from this than from jack3d. I'm not sure if they posted the ratio of ingredients on their sight yet but I definitely think theres a better ratio of creatine/beta alanine/stimulants in this than in jack3d.

Bad part is shipping sucks. The supplement cost $18 and some change- discount through rep code+shipping=$27 to my door.
