Any chance for a second opinion on another island Jay? Otherwise, it appears some rest is in order for the muscles to heal themselves...

Think I had one of my best workouts this morning in the garage:

rev curls @60lbs 5/8
bicep curls @65lbs 5/8
standing upright row @75lbs 5/8
standing French curls @80lbs 5/8
standing press @85lbs 5/8 new weight

Heavy back today, T-bars, Bent over rows, pullups, cable rows, pulldowns, dumbbell rows.....I looked like I showered with my clothes on by the end. Just 3 more workouts before I take 5 days off for a mini-vacation, so I plan to make them count.

...going anyplace exciting on your mini-vacation Tom?

jdakine · 07-06-2013, 09:51 PM

Went in and did a very short easy leg workout today. Thank God for the smith machine, so I only have to use one hand on the bar.

Mark, a second opinion on Oahu or even LA might be in store.

I will be working out of town for the next several days, there's no 24 hour fitness nearby. Gonna stop in at some random gym to buy a week pass.

Chest/arms/abs today.

icehog3 · 07-09-2013, 10:10 AM

Last workout for 5 days today, gonna try to do a little of everything.

This morning, Thursday, and Saturday before driving over to Vegas for me Tom...

Another decent workout in the garage this morning:

rev curls 5/8
bicep curls 5/8
standing upright row 5/8
standing French curls 5/8
standing press5/8

Added a small fan to blow air around in the garage. Kinda nice

icehog3 · 07-09-2013, 05:39 PM

Hope Vegas is good to you Mark!

I did everything but shoulders today, tore it up. Earned my 5 days off as best I could.

Hockey tonight, then R&R until Monday. Hit it hard, Men.

Back day, went well.

Found a nice gym near by the hotel. Had a lot weird stuff there... grip machine? Never seen that before. Old school stuff there.

Near which hotel, Huy?

DBall · 07-10-2013, 07:22 AM

So... quick little poll... do you prefer bench pressing a) all the way down to the chest (or off by only an inch-ish) or b) until your upper arms are parallel to the ground? I've heard so much different stuff including, from a personal trainer: "90* counts as a full rep" and "beyond 90* is where injuries happen"... from other people I've heard that just doing 'partial reps' is a way to hurt yourself... is this question going to get the same array of responses as a question like 'which cigar is the best ever'?

I go to just a tad parallel at this point in my life, Dan. Below that takes much of the stress off the chest muscles and puts it on the shoulders, tendons, etc.

I used to bury the bar like is necessary for a competition lift, but I find I get better development keeping constant tension on the muscle I am targeting. .

Adriftpanda · 07-10-2013, 02:17 PM

I am like Tom, I do not let the bar touch my chest. I go short of it, I find it when I do let it go that far down, I stress too much on shoulder and not enough on my chest.

And Tom, my hotel in Redding. Not in LA. I'll be here till tomorrow afternoon. Think I will take tonight off though, may be meeting up with a local for a cigar.

Adriftpanda · 07-10-2013, 10:03 PM

Shoulder day, just went to the gym at my hotel... not a whole to do but made the best of what I had to work with.

icehog3 · 07-15-2013, 06:26 PM

5 days off, got back in the gym today and pounded out some legs. Gotta wotk off all that moonshine.

bonjing · 07-15-2013, 11:42 PM

Holy crap, did something my friend calls animal workout. Bear crawl, Spider-Man's, scorpions, spider, rabbit, chicken and a whole lot more... I have no core

.

bonjing · 07-15-2013, 11:47 PM

Interesting I was taught to do full range if motion, anything less was just cheating yourself.
