Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Great progress, Bob. Get that tendon solved and the sky is the limit for you. :tu

Imma head in shortly, legs and cardio for sure, maybe some core if cardio doesn't gas me too badly.

Shoulder rehab day 1.

I follow a guy on FB and Instagram, Shmashwerx. He’s big into CrossFit and blew out his shoulder with the same injury I have. He posted his rehab routine that allowed him to not need surgery. Figure it’s worth a shot. If anything I’ll have stronger shoulders and core.

Scapula pulls
Banded around the worlds
Prone 360 sweeps
Prone ATV’s
Banded prayers
Incline single plank rotation
https://www.facebook.com/smashwerx/v...3859561341391/

Monday strictly bis and abs. Did a hodgepodge whirlwind of cambered bar curls, Olympic bar curls, preacher curls and dumbbell curls.

Tomorrow will be a late start if at all, need to play it by ear with my plumbing issues (my toilet, not my wiener). Probably cardio and some quads if I can get in early enough.

Chainsaw13 02-25-2020 07:22 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II

LOL. It is weird to get used to, after doing sets of 8-12 for the last couple of years. The theory is with the lower reps, but less rest, you're doing one large set. I will say by set 6, I"m getting gassed. Wasn't sure I was going to make it that far, let alone finish all 7 sets.

icehog3 02-26-2020 08:36 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
I definitely like the concept and see the potential for gains. Maybe a few years ago for me, but I'm definitely a higher rep guy the last few, Bob. Good part is that I'm handling weights on some things for 15 reps that I could have only done 10 on years ago, so I've made what I call "functional gains". :)

icehog3 02-26-2020 01:39 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Yesterday off and some black bean tamales paid off today. Super intense lift, started with some great supersets, then some single sets as I was gassed and jacked.

Barbell rows/Wide inclines x 4 supersets
T-bar rows/Bench press x 3 supersets
Bench press/T-bar rows x 1 superset
Wide pulldowns x 5 sets
Flyes x 4 sets
Cable rows/Declines x 2 supersets
Declines/Cable rows x 1 superset

Too tired to even do dead hangs. :r

Chainsaw13 02-27-2020 06:28 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Used all my energy stores and then some today.

45 minutes of shoulder rehab. Made it thru 3 full rounds of six exercises. Then onto back day. Lol.

Deadlifts, 9 sets
Inverted rows, 5 sets. Last three with a 25lb plate on my chest.
Seated rows, 5 sets
Assisted chin ups, 4 sets
Dumbbell shrugs, 4 sets

That's a helluva day, Bob! :tu

icehog3 02-29-2020 03:55 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
I did something to my left trap/rear delt. Maybe in the gym doing the back/chest day, but I wasn't feeling any effects if so until hours and hours later.

Went in today and did a boatload of stretching and a lot of relatively light, high rep sets of seated presses, rear delt flyes and shrugs. Feels like I loosened the "knot" a bit, so it was worth going in.

Hope it did the trick for you, Tom.

Hit up the local Anytime down the street from my hotel this morning. Did my shoulder rehab work before heading into the plant. Back to my regular routine Tuesday when I'm back home.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Good job training while you're away, Bob. :tu

Did more stretching and arm work yesterday. Neck is pretty locked on the left, trap is hard as granite. I think this might take a week or two to totally overcome. I'm taking today off, and seeing what is up tomorrow.

Chainsaw13 03-02-2020 01:31 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
I know that feeloin all too well, Tom. Keep stretching it. Maybe some ice too.

Going with the Capsicum patch right now. See how searing my skin works. :noon

icehog3 03-03-2020 05:01 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Went in today and stretched and did a moderate weight, short rest, high rep workout. Today was supposed to be back/chest supersets, but thought better of it with the neck/trap injury.

Barbell rows x 5 sets
T-bar rows x 4 sets
Wide pulldowns x 5 sets
Rear delt flyes x 4 sets
Dead hangs

Chainsaw13 03-03-2020 05:49 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Hope your trap/neck is feeling better Tom.

Back day for me. Got in a bit early to work shoulders (which are responding well).
Deadlifts
Assisted chin ups
Farmers carry
TRX rows
Bent over rows
Planks

icehog3 03-04-2020 08:05 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Good back day, Bob. :ze

Neck feels a little better today...think it's going to be a few days with all the damage I added trying to get it to crack. :hn :r

Chainsaw13 03-05-2020 07:03 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
How’s the neck, Tom?

ICT. Shoulders are feeling better. Had one of my best chest workouts in a while.

Dips. Was able to get a few sets unassisted.
Dumbbell press
TRX pushups/plate press superset
Shoulder taps
Tri pushdowns
Tri overhead extensions

icehog3 03-06-2020 07:53 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Did chest yesterday, Bob, and found out one of my friendly acquaintances at the gym is a chiropractor. I have an evaluation scheduled in about 90 minutes.

Incline bench x 3 sets
30* inclines x 3 sets
Bench press x 3 sets
Vertical bench x 4 sets
Flyes x 4 sets
Precor inclines x 2 sets

Hopefully the x-rays will show nothing structurally wrong and just some easy fix. Crossing my toes. ;)

Chainsaw13 03-07-2020 04:51 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Got started on legs today. On about the third or fourth warmup set, felt some pain in the groin. Uh oh. Nothing new protruding, so we’re all good there. Backed off and did light weight, but a lot of time under tension.

Squats
Front squats
TRX hamstring curls
Cossack squats
Calf raises

Then 35-40 min of shoulder rehab. They seem to be responding to it. Next week I switch up to a new set of exercises. First one is a Cuban press. That’s gonna suck. I have limited front rotation right now with the arm out to my side.

icehog3 03-08-2020 08:58 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Hope the groin is just a tweak, Bob, and good to hear your shoulders seem to be responding.

Hit the gym after the chiro yesterday. Moderate weights with a full exaggerated range of motion. Did presses for delts, skipped any trap work. Then some curl variations for biceps. Skipped triceps as well.

Pretty stiff this morning (phrasing) but pain isn't too bad. Why do we do this again? :r

I keep asking myself that as I experience new issues. :r

Glad to hear you’re doing better.

icehog3 03-08-2020 05:28 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Thanks Bob. Best nights sleep in a while last night, and better today. Hopefully the chiro has e back to my 10 day ago self soon.

Scheduled off day, tomorrow I lift before seeing him. That should be interesting. :r

icehog3 03-09-2020 03:43 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
High rep and stretch day, separated back from chest again until this thing tames. Decreased rest every set, pretty intense despite relatively light weights.

T-bar rows x 6 sets
Barbell rows x 5 sets
Wide pulldowns x 5 sets
Cable rows x 3 sets

icehog3 03-10-2020 04:15 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Same typa chest day, just trying to not negate the progress with the chiro (who I visited after the gym).

Vertical bench x 6 sets
Incline bench x 4 sets
Decline bench 4 sets
Flyes x 4 sets
Precor inclines x 2 sets
Giant set: Precor incline drop set/flyes
Dead hangs

Off tomorrow. Thank you. :r

Chainsaw13 03-10-2020 06:43 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Decent workout for me, with my trainer. Got in early to start phase 2 of the shoulder rehab.

Behind the neck Cuban press, weighted bar (those hurt like a mofo, rotating the arms down) x2
External rotation release, 2 min hold. X2
Rumble press x3
Dumbbell T Sweep x2
Dumbbell Cuban press x2
Overhead ring sweeps x2

Was supposed to do three rounds of 10 for all but the release hold, but didn’t get all three in before my back day workout. Only got the three rounds of rumbles in because my trainer was helping me get that setup, plus borrowing his bands.

Onto back day, and a bit of arms. Trying to incorporate more arm stuff now the shoulders are feeling better.

Assisted chin ups
Low cable rows
Shrugs
Farmers carry
Seated ez bar curls/hammer curls superset.

icehog3 03-10-2020 09:19 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
It's impressive to do the rehab workout and a great back workout too. Kudos, Brother, keep 'er going. :ze :tu

The neck is improving a little each day. Only bummer is that the stiffness and pain is worst at night. Makes sleeping a little less satisfying then usual. :r No chiro until Friday, I'm busy tomorrow and our work schedules conflict Thursday. I'll just stretch and try not to f up any of the progress we've made.

Chainsaw13 03-12-2020 06:03 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
How’s the neck doing today, Tom?

Made it thru three full rounds of the shoulder work. Feeling better each time although those Cuban presses are still a *****. Then onto chest.

Dips (all four sets with body weight) :tu
Incline dumbbell press x4
Low cable flyes x3
TRX push-ups/plate press supersets x2

Good pump today. Went to change shirts and noticed veins popping in my upper chest. First time seeing that.

icehog3 03-12-2020 08:00 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Good workout, Bob! :ze

Neck is a little better today, seems to be a little better every day, which is all I can hope for. 2 weeks in and it feels at least 50% better. Even after a shoulder/arm workout today. I see the chiro again tomorrow between legs (phrasing) and work.

Military press x 7 sets
Barbell curls x 6 sets
Skullcrushers x 5 sets

Super basic, and avoiding traps/rear delts at least until next week.

Chainsaw13 03-14-2020 01:41 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Had plans to hit shoulder rehab, then legs. Made it through the shoulder workout, barely. I guess it’s legs tomorrow.

icehog3 03-15-2020 08:48 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Hope the shoulder is improving, Bob.

Friday was legs. Kept it to presses and hamstring curls as I didn't want to squat or to extensions until my neck stops cramping.

Leg press x 10 sets
Hammie curls x 6 sets

Back yesterday, short rest and high reps

T-bar rows x 5 sets
Barbell rows x 4 sets
Wide pulldowns x 4 sets
Cable rows x 4 sets

ICS today.

Chainsaw13 03-15-2020 12:30 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 
Good leg day today. Haven’t squated a lot lately due to a lower abdominal pain. Don’t think it’s a hernia, but not taking any chances. It’s been feeling better, so I went moderate weight, but also volume.

Squats x3 warmup sets, x5 working sets
Front squats x4
RDL’s x4
Hamstring curls x6
Calf raises x3
