20 min run

Shoulders and Back tonite.

GhostRyder · 01-31-2009, 10:20 AM

It's good to know that I'm not the only one who has a difficult time with wrists on the Front Squat. I like the lift a lot more than a regular squat, and I guess I'll be doin it with the crossed arms in front of me. I have done that on my heavy lifts before. Today is a rest day though -- thankfully.

I trained shoulders and arms today...tough to breathe at times with this cold, but I felt better after the workout (and now, several hours later) than I did before the workout.

I know it's all a placebo but I like to go for a jog when I'm sick...makes me feel better and helps me sleep too!

I did shoulders and back yesterday. Wasn't feeling it at all since it felt like my throat was closing up on itself and I couldn't really breathe well for some reason. it was a good workout though since I pushed past the problem.

2 fingers for me...

I think its because of my Olympic background. When U develope that strength in wrist and fingers it becomes easier to rack cleans.

Mugen910 · 02-01-2009, 10:53 AM

I don't know how you gym rats do it...Working out in the AM is not easy! Chest, Biceps, Triceps and I had to lower the weights to finish...

Chris. · 02-01-2009, 10:56 AM

AM is easier for me than PM. Mainly because I'm beat and don't want to do anything after work.

Its because your CNS isn't stimulated. This past semester we had workouts at 6:00 to be able to do anything in the weightroom I had to be up at 5 moving around. and considerable amount of time to warm up.

i use to train at be in the gym by 600 too... you will get you to it...

Back from the gym and my back is wasted in a good way. Wasn't even going to lift today. Once I turned my ipod on with some new tracks, I got the urge. No sense wasting THAT!

Decided to make it back day when I saw that *everyone* else was doing "curlz 4 da gurlz" (TM- D'ESQ). Warmup was cardio and a lot of stretching. I think I'm gonna start budgeting a little more time to get a good 15-20 of stretching and cardio in before I lift. I think it helped today.

V-bar pulldowns, seated low rows, and barbell rows all felt real good. Followed up with deads -- 135 x 10, 225 x 10 x 3, 315 x 6-7 x 2. Then some 185 snatch grip deads for 10 then for 5/failure. My body was just outta juice at this point. I should have brought $$ for a gatorade ... probably would have been able to pull through on a full set of snatch deads.

I'm sore as a mofo from this AM..I went lighter and everything! stupid CNS and it's slowness.

The Professor · 02-02-2009, 08:47 AM

Felt like making today a speed day, today, for chest & tris. Dropped the weight a little and, after my warmups (crunches to tighten core, barbell rows to prime the lats, pressdowns to prime the tris, and super light bench presses for the pecs) grabbed the stopwatch and hit the following

115 -- 10 sets of 5 reps each, 45 seconds rest between sets
135 -- 5 sets of 2 reps each, 45-60 seconds rest between sets

The first 7 or so sets were very fast. I got a little sluggish in a couple of sets toward the end of the 115s. I *probably* could have done sets of 3 on 135; but given no spotter and that I was already getting sluggish, I decided to just hit 2 fast each set. All about the fast-twitch, right Dave?

Followed it up with some 190 decline presses (on a Hammer Strength plate-loaded) -- 3 sets of 6. Then did some standard tri exercises: skull crushers, pressdowns, behind head rope extensions. I'm beat.
