Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3

[icehog3]

Missed 3 days, but it was worth it.

[Adriftpanda]

I'm sure it was, Tom. Saw your pictures on Facebook. Bad ass!

Well skipping legs 2 weeks in a row was fun but its time to train them. Tired, so I'll just take an extra scoop of pwo to kick start my engine.

I am actually gonna take PWO before hockey tonight, Huy, I am one tired hog.

Talk about incentive!

[Adriftpanda]

Well... Tom??

Back day, felt like a monster. Got a sample of Bullnox to try. It was okay, but something I wouldn't buy.

So starting next week, I will have to take a 12 week detox from my PWO. Not by choice, doctors order. I have to be on some meds and I cannot have any of my pwo. I sent her the label and she responded back with NO!! Maybe this is a good thing, I'll save some money this way. Maybe I can afford a 1994... Tom, Jay. Stop it.

No goals, but 4 assists.....that worth a hug anyway?

Back day for me as well, shoulder feeling more stable so took it up to 325 on the bent over rows. Only 270 for Tbars, but then added some weighted pullups, good back shred...and my forearms are still cramping up 6 hours later.

Took seven days off to rest my right arm/bicep which appears to be the ticket, cuz it felt really good this morning during my workout in the garage:

Standing reverse curls x5/8reps
Standing bicep curls x5/8reps
Standing French curls x5/8reps
Standing upright row x5/8reps
Standing press x5/8reps

Think I'm going to revert to working out three days a week (ie, TU, TH, SAT) and take two days off for rest (SUN, MON). I'm ready to bump up another five lbs on the std. French curls to eighty lbs, and will wait until TU to place that into effect.

Have a great Saturday everyone

www.fitrx.com has a FREE SHIPPING code going on through July 8th on any OPTIMUM NUTRITION item. The code is OPTIMUM15...

[icehog3]

I was just in their retail store buying some Optimum Nutrition BCCAs.

[Adriftpanda]

I need to find a pwo that does not contain caffeine or creatine... docs order.

Chest day today, went moderate on everything but felt pretty good on incline db so I went heavy on that exercise.

Treated myself to a nice cannoli and some cheesecake tonight.

[jdakine]

Finally made it back into the gym today. Just some light chest and triceps. Shoulder hurts either training or resting, so back at it. Maybe short lived as I get my MRI read on Friday, finally.

[icehog3]

Hope it's good news, Jay!

PWOs are starting to really jack up my stomach lately...

Dan, if you get the chance, try some Assault by Muscle Pharm. Its a great little pwo. Comes in a number of flavors. I've tried the raspberry/lemonade and the orange/mango, and both taste very good and dissolve well (after stirring for at least 60 seconds or so). I believe the key issue is that Assault does not have the ingredient 1,3 DME, but only the DME. I've been taking this pwo since March with no crash, post jitters, stomach issues period. Serving size is 23gm or 1/2 scoop. I started at 15gm to ascertain the effects since I have hypertension, and am currently taking 40gm. This is what works for me with no side effects, and I love my workouts...

[Adriftpanda]

Did back/abs and some arms.

Took hemorage, haven't used it in a while. Felt a decent kick but didn't last long enough. Overall a good session. Taking tomorrow off, due to work and lots of driving.

[MarkinAZ]

Hot box workout in the garage this morning With all the "warm" weather, it raises temps a bit in the garage. Revised my routines and also was able to add 5lbs to the standing French curls this morning:

Standing reverse curls @60 lbs x5/8reps
Standing bicep curls @65 lbs x5/8reps
Standing upright row @75 lbs x5/8reps
Standing French curls @80lbs x5/8reps new weight
Standing press @80 lbs x5/8reps

Stay cool and hydrated today...

[icehog3]

Nice and cool here, Mark, maybe 64*.

Back today, I went light for high reps and low rest periods for T-bar rows with 275. I was fairly gassed after that and went to only 245 on bent over rows. Did some pullups, then got a second burst of energy and ramped up to 300 on cable rows for a great finish.

Hockey tonight, so I decided to save abs for manana.

The weather had better be nice and mild with ocean breeze for SoCal Tom, or I'm filing a complaint with Kelly

PWOs on a full stomach work much better. Put up 245x2 on bench, tried 255 and needed help (though I did a good amount of reps before that of lesser weight). Pretty sure I could get 250 up, which would be 166% of my body weight... now THAT would be cool for me!
