Lotta pushing today.

Dips
Arnold press
Incline dumbbell press
Upright rows
Single arm tri pushdowns
Single arm tri extensions

Still learning to temper my frustration with how slowly my neck is healing and how it’s affecting my lifting.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
You definitely have that stick-to-it-iveness you need to lift your lifetime, Bob. I hope it keeps improving for you.

My neck has been extra stiff the past few days, probably a combination of the weather and the intensity of my recent workouts. Still kinda sucks though.

Oh well, back day tomorrow. Time to start focusing...or sleeping. :sleep: :r

Nope. 3-4 sets per exercise.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Hit the gym early to do some arms.

Single arm tri pushdowns
Single arm overhead extensions
Skull crushers
Spider curls
Cross body hammer curls
Ez bar curls
Cardio

Tom, what’s the reason for doing that many sets of one exercise vs the regular 3x12 sets? Just curious.

At this point you can see I stick to pretty basic lifts. Strength gains are a thing of the past at my age, it's more about retaining all the strength and muscle I have. I don't plan out much of my workout, I kind of go with the flow and see how my body is responding that day, and if it's not, I change the intensity somehow...shorter rest, higher reps, increased sets, varied order....whatever seems to give me the best workout that day.

Maybe I'm just really getting healthy again after my 19 weeks down in 2018, maybe that's why my sets increased lately?

I know I didn't really answer the question. :r I'm going kind of with Arnold's old "instinctive training principles"? Yeah, I'll go with that. :D

Chainsaw13 06-15-2019 11:17 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
I can understand it. Thanks for the explanation. I figure I’ll hit that point soon too. I wish I’d started this at 19 and not 49.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Legs and cardio today. Did 96 minutes on the bike after squats, but my distance and calories burned were both less than when I did 95 on 6/15. Legs were jelly though.

Think I may take tomorrow off completely, no lifting, no cardio. Been a while since I've done that.

Chainsaw13 06-19-2019 06:40 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
You must have buns of steel to sit on the bike that long. :lr

Back day for me.

Bent over barbell rows
Seated rows
Seal rows
Trap bar deadlifts
Ab work

First time doing any deadlifts in months. Didn’t go heavy, but felt good. Easy actually. I’m sure I’ll feel it tomorrow.

icehog3 06-19-2019 08:46 PM

Nice job, Bob!

icehog3 06-21-2019 12:00 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
I couldn't take the day off, but I wanted it to be easy(ier) :r

I trained bis and core. I did bis on Tuesday, so I knew this would be a little intentional overtraining. Got psyched and tore it up, hitting cambered bar curls, preacher curls and dumbbell curls. Washing my head should be fun tomorrow (phrasing).

ICF manana.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Wish I could still do heavy dumbbell presses, Bob. My shoulders, I just can't get the dumbbells up to the top position anywhere without shrieking. :r Nice workout. :tu

Chainsaw13 06-21-2019 06:17 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
I’m slowly working back up to where I was before. Left arm still dictates how heavy, and how many reps I can get in. Managed 5lbs more (45’s) than earlier this week. Still a ways off from the 65/70’s I was doing before.

icehog3 06-22-2019 09:10 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
As long as you're moving in the right direction it is all good, Bob. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Good deal, Bob. :ze

Missed the gym last night. Didn't get home until 8pm last night. All I wanted to do was crash in my chair with a cigar. I'll make up for it tonight.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Worked out legs with my trainer. We went to a different location to use their safety bar for squats. He’s not allowed to train customers out of their, so that’s why we worked out together.

Safety bar squats (holy fudge does that work the quads)
Reverse lunges
Lying hamstring curls
Calf raises
Hip adductors

icehog3 06-29-2019 09:09 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Get a good one in with your trainer, Bob? That sounds like it would be extra motivating?

Going to try to double up chest and back today, we'll see how it feels once I start. Maybe supersets, maybe alternating exercises. I'll play it by ear.

Chainsaw13 06-29-2019 09:14 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Yea, it was good. Nice change of pace to use different pieces of equipment.

icehog3 06-29-2019 09:16 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Very good, those are often some of the best workouts. :tu

icehog3 06-29-2019 06:12 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
So I killed it today with an alternating body part workout, chest and back. By the time I was done with the 35 set marathon, it looked like I stood in the shower with my clothes on.

Re: Pumping Iron with Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II

Alternating dumbbell press
Rotational shoulder press

Dumbbell external rotation

icehog3 07-01-2019 09:29 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
How did you like the workout, Bob?

I was off from lifting yesterday, but did manage to drink 60% of a bottle of Bulleit Rye myself, so looking forward to the gym in a few. :r

Chainsaw13 07-01-2019 10:41 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
So far so good. Feeling it in the traps from those rotational db presses. Today is foot speed/cardio training with the agility ladder. It's being delivered today, but I'm supposed to go out with a buddy for dinner. Maybe I"ll do it after.

I just noticed too that you changed the thread title. :lr

icehog3 07-01-2019 05:31 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
First zemekone disappeared so we put Huy in the title. Huy has been slacking here (but not at home, with 2 little ones now!), so you get your 15 minutes, or months, of fame. :D

Hangover workout today, wanted to do shoulders and arms but shoulders gassed me enough. Presses were smooth and strong today so I did both standing and seated.

Standing military press x 6 sets
Seated military press x 6 sets
Rear delt flyes x 5 sets
Barbell shrugs x 6 sets

Chainsaw13 07-01-2019 05:58 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II

Looking forward to hearing out it goes, Bob!

Nah, the sh!tty food and shitload of bourbon was my downfall. 23 sets is about the least I have done in a while. :r
