Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Kick some arse, Brother! :ze

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Any suggestions for soreness in legs after workout? It's been three days and my thighs are still killing me. Stretching them out every so often, but the pain doesn't lighten much.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

have you not worked those specific muscles out in a while? if so,they will be sore for a while...

it's like this, run on a treadmill every day and you'll hardly be sore..


Go play (low contact) flag football for an hour and you will hurt for three days.... because you are working otu muscles you never knew existed!!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Been a loooong time.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Read this article, trust me. Foam Rollers.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

isn't that like reading a magazine?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Felt sluggish today. Standing around in the cold at work will most likely do that. Anyways, blasted some bench.
Flat Bench
400x3 400x3 400x5 (had to struggle with the last rep, hurt my lower back a little)
Incline Press
325x5 325x10
Dips
BW+100x5x3
V bar press downs
8 marker on stack x 20 x 2
Crunches 25 x 3

Shoulder was bugging me today, switched to a narrow grip and pushed through. After my workout I did some foam roller work on my shoulder and lower back. I need to spend more time with the foam roller and stretching.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Nope.
#1 It's free
#2 It's actually good information. Not 10 new tips to build big biceps. LOL:cb

Sites like that are why I am anti magazine. Better information and its free.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

No caffeine since last Wednesday. feeling good with out it:)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

:tu Good for you, Bro! Unfortunately, with my "weird" working hours I need it!:D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

back to gym tomorrow, no way I could have today w/ only 2 hrs sleep last night. Looking fwd to working out some stress/anger w/ school haha

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

:hmLooks like that would make some soreness go away. $10 is cheap too!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Ouch man two hours is rough. Oddly enough I have had some of my best workouts on little sleep. But then again, that may have been due to the fact I drank multiple energy drinks hahah.
I have one and use the one at the gym from time to time. I think it helps. For 10 bucks its worth a shot. I am sure everyone here has spent 10 bucks on worse.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

sorry i havent been around guys life has been hectic, i subscribed to the thread so now i can keep coming back to it on my phone...

keep lifting heavy everyone!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Good to see you, Brother. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

upper body day today... can't wait!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Trying to lose weight, started working out and eating healthy, it's very hard when you've been out of shape as long as me, but i'm determined. Good luck for me

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

The hardest part of getting back in shape is turning it into a habit and feeling bad when you can't get in...

If there's any advice you need we are all here more than willing to help.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

How about a list of what the acronyms for exercise's mean? I follow the thread some as I am doing the at home gym but sometimes can't figure out what you guys are talking about:D Watching what I eat and working out 3 times a week, I'm down 15 pounds and have gained noticeable muscle (chest and arms) in 4 months. Need to start shoulders/back, legs, and especially lower back (it always bothers me from sitting all day)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Steve for lower back I would concentrate on your core.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Anything specific? Crunches?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Perry is right... Core, core, core!

If you workout at home grab yourself a exersise ball and do core strengthening exersises.

Give yoga a try too...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

this is a website that has most of the exercises that I did in PT after my back surgery.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Appreciate it, altho i'm not sure i've ever been in shape (maybe when i was 13-14 and active), but i want to be healthy and not get diabetes and lower my risk of any other fat guy related stuff.

I've been doing my own version of the beginners exercises on http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/beginner.html

Basically I've got to start slow, every time in the past i've tried to start, i couldn't stick to it because i would go to hard and say "Screw this", so i'm kind of doing my own thing. We'll see how it goes, thanks for the offer tho

I definitely don't love to work out, but i've only been doing it for a week or so now, but i definitely feel aWESOME after doing it, so hopefully this will be what gets me off my ass to do it :P

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Consistency is key. set short and long term goals. plan times to take away from the gym. remember the mind can get fatigue too!

Heavy Pull Night
DeadLifts
515x3 - 515x3 - 515x5 (shoulda hit 6, but weight felt funny so I dropped it)
Good Mornings
135x10x3
Pull Ups
BW+100x5x3
Hang Cleans Supersetted with Rows
135x6x3 --185x20x2

Did some neck work while I starred uncomfortably at some smoking hot chick.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Hope all is ok zeme, let me know.

2nd the advice thing. Anything ya guys want to ask I say shoot. Granted you may spark a huge debate due to the different training styles and methods each of the members use. but I personally think reading through the workout debate banter is a great way for guys new to it all to get a good idea of all aspects of training. its all trial and error sometimes. See or hear something new, give it a go. If it doesnt work oh well. If it does then you are 1 step ahead.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Everything is a bit better thanks frank...
Debate? I thought we came to the conclusion I'm always right! :hb

On serious note frank is right about the differnt training theories and styles that you can pick up here...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Prob wrong thread but what the heck...Not quite pumping iron but I got my heart racing! The weather was mild in New England (48*) tonight so I went for a 5k with the GF...She kicked my .... Uhm I mean I let her win so her ego wouldn't get shot! :ss Amazing how fast aerobic endurance can go to the crapper..

Hope everyone did something healthy to get their blood pumpin' today. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I got a friend thats been training 16 years and is a nutrition and workout/get healthy god, so i won't be trying to start any debates on here no worrys :P

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3

When you are young....when you get older, it is the key to a premature heart attack. ;)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Looks like us So*Cal guys are missing a good workout :hn

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

You have no idea! :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Nothing crazy last night...went to the gym and did all upper body till failure. Legs still a bit sore from the 5k jog.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

It's been a week since I last did a leg workout. My legs have just now returned to feeling normal (no ache and pain). Ready for round two this afternoon.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Hope you cut your recovery time a little on this one, Andy! :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I'm guessing it'll be a lot shorter. I should be able to get back to working legs every other day.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

try not to work them so hard and your recovery times will be a lot shorter. I work legs twice a week and incorporate a little leg workout every time I go to the gym. My problem is with squats and deadlifts, I get lightheaded and short of breath. I can't figure it out or get it to stop unless I take a good 1 minute break between sets...:(

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Long recovery time was due to it being my first time working those muscles seriously in almost two years.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

oh, yea, I understand that! Been there just a few months ago. But take it easy(lighter weight or just don't do one thing until failure) for a few workouts and your muscles will get used to the work again.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

my problem is I don't go to the gym more than 2-3x a week so when I go I feel that I have to do all upper body and assume jogging will help the lower body.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

You can go to the gym 3 times a week and get legs in there

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

thats all I go too. Between school and work it is really hard to get in the gym more than 2x/week for me. Now that school is out for the holidays, I'll be in there 3 to 4 times a week I hope.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I drove an old 77 pick-up in high school that was a manual with no power steering lol. Talk about a beast. When I would get done lifting for football it was always a trip to try to drive that thing home with noodle legs and arms

Been about 3 1/2 months straight (4+ days in the gym a week) now for me in the gym. Finally starting to loose weight. Def picked up some bulk in my arms and chest, my suit jackets are a little tight in through the arms and chest this year :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I would love to get to the gym
