Hit them guns, Bob! :tu

I went in with the intention of a full upper body workout for my last day before vay-kay. After the crazy intense supersets I did for back and chest, there would be no shoulder or arm work. :lr

Olympic bar rows / Incline bench x 5 supersets
T-bar rows / bench press x 4 supersets
Pulldowns (2) Cable rows (2) / Decline bench x 4 supersets
Rear delt flyes / chest flyes x 3 supersets
Dead hangs / Vertical bench x 2

That's all folks...although it looks like I might be training Tuesday, which I haven't done on vacation for years. I'll hit some arms, and if I have time, maybe some volume work for legs.

You guys bust it up for me while I am gone! :ze

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Not my best leg day. Did set a pr of 730/6. Could’ve done more probably, but the set of 710/9 beforehand gassed me. Been feeling a strain in the lower ab, so I didn’t push too much more all around.

Single leg hamstring curls
Calf raises
Cardio

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Ok, now I gotta look up hammer strength press. New one for me.

Very nice! You’re putting in some good work, Bob.

Plate loaded high row machine 2x
Seated wide grip row 2x

Chainsaw13 02-20-2019 06:03 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Nicely done Huy.

Today is my rest day. If anything I was going to just do some light cardio. My trainer gave me the task of 500 pushups. The idea is to do about 10 reps at a time throughout the day. Not enough to work up a sweat, but enough to keep the blood pumping.

icehog3 02-21-2019 08:18 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Good work, Bob and Huy!

Got back from vacation 2 days late due to weather, and started back in he gym yesterday with ICW. Back today, wish me power.

Chainsaw13 02-21-2019 11:11 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Going in for chest later today. My hamstrings are still on fire from Tuesday.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
ICT

Flat bench
Weighted dips
Incline dumbbell press
High cable flys

icehog3 02-22-2019 07:56 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Nice job, Bob. I'm a poet and didn't know it.

Back yesterday:
Olympic bar rows
T-bar rows
Wide pulldowns
Cable rows

Short on time today, so I'll hit some arms and shoulders and save legs for tomorrow.

Chainsaw13 02-22-2019 07:59 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
forgot to add, yesterday was my first time getting buried under the bar. I added a bit of weight on flat bench on the 4th set. Was feeling good, or maybe cocky. Tried to rep out one more. Nope, ain't gonna happen. Was maybe 1" away from racking it. Good thing I didn't use clips.

Glad you got loose, Bob!





You are loose, right? :tf

Chainsaw13 02-22-2019 11:14 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Yes, loose as a goose.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Another solid day, Bob, :tu

I did arms too, hit Olympic bar curls, preacher curls and concentration curls for bis, and did all cable work for tris today. I have no idea why but tris were weak as Hell today. :confused:

Leg day tomorrow. Lord, give me strength. Literally.

Chainsaw13 02-23-2019 11:23 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Not my best back workout. I think the hell I’ve put myself through the last 5 weeks caught up to me.

Deadlifts, only two sets until I tweaked the one sore spot in my back
Low cable rows
Pull up eccentrics
Reverse narrow grip pulldowns
One arm band rows
Shrugs, light weight, 15/reps each of 3 hand positions (45 reps per set)
Ab work

Trainer told me to get a cheat meal and take tomorrow off. So I got a small pizza loaded with meat. Finished it and not entirely over full.

icehog3 02-23-2019 03:12 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Hope the pizza and some rest helps, Bob.

Went heavy and volume for legs today. Kicked some major butt.

Front squats x 11 sets
Leg press x 6 sets
Quad extensions x 4 sets

Yeah, and I'm feeling it the morning. :r Might have to do some time on the bike to try and keep the lactic acid in check.

Chainsaw13 02-24-2019 07:18 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
I went in and did some cardio and stretching. Should’ve started with stretching the hip flexors. Didn’t get to do them. The other stretches aggravated my back. I looked like an old man getting off the floor. Ice and Aleve are helping.

icehog3 02-24-2019 10:05 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Damn, Bob, I've had stretches of back problems (been a long while, <knocks on wood>. I hope you can get the inflammation down and get some relief. I used to bum one muscle relaxant off someone, all I usually needed was one night sleep with no tightening of the back and I was pretty good.

Thought I was going to do cardio when I left for the gym. Then I thought, "chest is up next", and tomorrow is Monday. So I did chest. Maybe cardio tomorrow, or maybe back. Don't have time for both before work though, so I'm playing it by ear.

Vertical bench x 5 sets
Wide incline x 4 sets
30* incline x 3 sets
Decline bench x 4 sets
Flyes x 4 sets

Chainsaw13 02-25-2019 05:56 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Fast and light leg day. Lower weight, higher reps.

Leg press x4
Leg press for hamstring x3
Single leg curls x3
Hip adductors x3
Ab work
Cardio

Backs feeling better. Didn’t want to push it too bad today and aggravate it more. The 3.1 miles on th treadmill really loosened it up.

Gym was packed today. More so than I’d seen in a while. Tomorrow is chest day. Looking forward to it. The cheat day and rest did me good.

icehog3 02-26-2019 09:33 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Glad it's feeling a little better, Bob, hope it continues to improve.

Just did cardio and abs yesterday. Heading in for back shortly.

icehog3 02-26-2019 02:54 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Good day on back, and felt extra energy so I threw in 7 sets of military press for delts.

Neutral grip T-bar rows
Smith machine rows
V grip T-bar rows
Military press
Cable rows

Chainsaw13 02-26-2019 07:08 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
ICT and shoulders

Flat bench
Weighted dips (graduated to the 35lb plate)
TRX work for shoulders
Low cable upright rows

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Kick some butt, Bob! :box:

Where is Huy?? :confused:

Did legs yesterday. Underestimated how much cycling 3 days before and again the day before, for 60 minutes +, would affect my endurance. It wasn't pretty, so I just went heavy and got out. :r

Leg Press x 5 sets
Hammie curls x 4 sets
Quad extensions x 4 sets

Yup. That was it. :r

Chainsaw13 03-01-2019 07:44 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II

Leg press, new pr of 800 for 4 reps.
Weighted walking lunges
Hamstring curls
Hip adductors
Calf raises
Cardio

Tried some Bulgarian split squats but the back wasn’t cooperating.

That's what I'm talkin' about! :D

ICF yesterday. Hit the presses from the 4 different angles, and then finished off with some vertical bench and flyes supersets.

Need to work around my work schedule next week to get it all in, so I am just going to go in and hit cardio and core today, then back tomorrow.

Whaddaya think Huy is doin', Bob?

Could be... :r

64 minutes of cardio and another 30 of core. Back manana. Good lift, Bob. :ze :tu

Chainsaw13 03-02-2019 07:51 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
It as until I pulled something. Big time pain behind my left shoulder. Ugh one step forward, two back. Thought the massage I got today worked that out, but nope. Oh well, I’ll live.

64 minutes of cardio? Nice job. I can’t ever get myself to do over 45.

Hope the massage did the trick for good. Freaking injuries, I hate 'em.

I need to find another way to ramp up the intensity of my cardio without adding more "resistance"....don't want the cardio to be muscle building or too fatiguing, just want the cardio vascular workout....I do plenty of lifting for the former.

OK, time for back! :ze

Chainsaw13 03-03-2019 12:24 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
The massage helped some other things but not this new pain. Ibuprofen helps some.

Just cardio today. 4 miles in all,3.1 running. Longest distance I’ve done in a long while.
