Default Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II

Today was Day31 of Squat Every Day. Went light today so as to not exacerbate my knee.

Squats (front/close)
Set 1 - bar only (45) x 10
Set 2 - 95x10
Set 3 - 95x10
Set 4 - 95x5
Set 5 - 95x5

I think using today almost like a stretch-via-exercise day really did help as my knee has felt markedly better than yesterday. Another light day and I may be back to fighting shape.

I don't think I'm quite ready to stop squatting every day though ...

A big thx to you guys too! The support on here has been great and a real encouragement. *thumbs up yall*

I've been enjoying watching you and the squat program, Charlie, don't know if I've ever seen anything like it. You will always be King Squat to me, even if you decide to pull the plug at 32.

EDIT; Just re-read that, I just want to emphasize that "King Squat" is a good thing.

Cory Gregory (same guy who did SED) just released a new series called "Bench Most Days" ... maybe you should check it out?

This is what I was thinking too lol. The only reason I think i'm liking SED as much as I am is because i'm lower half dominant to begin with but I feel like my shoulders and elbows would completely disolve after a week of Bench Every (or even most) days. LOL
That said, Huy is obviously much stronger than me when it comes to upper body so i'd be really interested to see his results if he gave it a try!

I've been thinking about different routines for when i go away from SED and i'm putting together a compound movement based routine that will still have me squatting 3-4x/wk, deads 2x/wk, good mornings 2x/wk, bench 2x/wk & OHP 2x/wk ... with only a small amount of supplemental lifting. The idea being "bang for buck" since I do wanna be able to devote a good bit of time to cardio and burning fat.
Example ...
Monday = Squat & Bench (minimal supp lifts after)
Tuesday = Deads & Barbell Rows (minimal supp)
Wed = Good Mornings & OHP (minimal supp)
Thur = Squat & Bench (supp tricep work)
Fri = Deads & Barbell Rows (supp bicep work)
Sat = Squat (light)
Sun = Squat (light)

Still thinking it through ... might make Sunday a full rest day ... just throwing a rough schedule out there to get some thoughts.

Day 32 ...

Squats (back / narrow)
Set 1 - 135x10 (warmup)
Set 2 - 225x10
Set 3 - 315x5
Set 4 - 315x5
Set 5 - 405x3

Surprisingly enough, I think that squatting a little more normally (not super light the whole time) actually helped my knee feel better. Idk lol

Finished up with 3x10 of Good Mornings @ 45lbs (bar only) ... I think i'm gonna enjoy doing these.

Squats : (back/narrow)

Set 1 - 135x10
Set 2 - 225x5
Set 3 - 315x5
Set 4 - 315x5
Set 5 - 315x5

Good Mornings :
Set 1 - 45x10
Set 2 - 95x10
Set 3 - 135x10
Set 4 - 185x10
Set 5 - 185x10

I foolishly played bball last night and some psychopath barreled into me in the last game while I was jumping for a high pass, and upon landing rolled my ankle. It's just swollen and tender today so I'm glad it's not worse.

Everybody have a good weekend

Yet you still hit the squats hard.....Hardcore, Charlie!

Went to the gym at 11AM, it was closed due to a power outtage. Reopened at 4, but I just took the day off. It was shoulder day, I will consider it a gift from Heaven.

Crazy thing is, I usually drink 1/2 my PWO on the ride to the gym. Yesterday I forgot to drink it....worked out well, I would have been a lot more pissed if I was all jack3d up!

lol glad to hear it Tom.

Tried to gear today's whole workout toward elevated heart rate/cardio, since traditional cardio is a little tough with my ankle still swollen.

Squats (front/close)
Warmup - 45x10
Sets 1-10 @ 95 (30sec rest between sets)

Wide Bench superset w/ Close Grip Bench - 5x20 @ 45 (so 1 superset = 40 total reps)

Wide Grip Standing Barbell Row SS w/ Barbell Curls - 5x20 @ 45 (only managed 11-15 for the last 3 sets of curls)

Arnold Press SS w/ Shrugs (Hammerstrength bench) - 5x15 @ 35lb dumbells (AP) / 5x15 @ 90 for shrugs

Battle Ropes - 5 rounds of 1min each ... first time trying these. Whew!

Everyone have a great weekend!
