Good lift, Bob, and glad you don't think it's a hernia.
Good lift today, hope it's not my last day in my gym for a while. Please please please. Vertical bench x 6 sets Wide inclines x 4 sets Declines x 4 sets Precor incline/Flyes x 4 supersets Dead hangs |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Tom, I notice you do a lot of dead hangs. Is that to keep grip strength up?
|
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
No, Bob, it's to stretch my shoulders and lats out with gravity. Definitely benefits the grip strength too though.
My gym decides at 1PM CDT if they are closing for corona. Me sure hopes not. |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Ok that was my other thought. I need to do more of those myself.
My gym closes today until at least the 31st |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
The hangs really give my shoulder some relief after the lift, Bob.
As of an hour ago, corporate still hasn't made the decision on closing. I went today and did 52 minutes of hills on the PreCor bike, and it seemed everyone was making good use of social distance and sanitizing. |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Seated military x 7 sets
Cambered bar curls x 4 sets Preacher curls x 4 sets Skullcrushers x 4 sets Tri extensions x 4 sets Dead hangs Found a gym! Old buddy owns a private club and is going to make it available to 4-5 of us from my gym for the interim. I'm more than pumped to keep pumping. Phrasing. Bob, hope you figure out a plan, Brother. :tu |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Going to do some EMOM’s at home and pick up running again. Might as well get lean.
|
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Adapt and overcome, Bob!
My friend who owns the gym texted and said I could come 2 hours early today as he is having cancellations (not surprising). I told him it was a scheduled day off, but I was SO tempted to go in anyway. :D Afraid each day might be the last for a while. |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Went to my buddy's private gym today. He has given 4 or 5 of us permission to use it (with no employees necessarily present) during their "closed hours (Noon-4PM). At least 2 of those guys can't make the hours work, so that leaves 2-3 of us. Went in today, an old-school, hard core gym. I was alone at first, and then my buddy Patryk showed up a little later. Lots of disinfectants placed all over. I'm blessed to be able to continue to work out but still practice social distancing.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Damn, that’s awesome Tom! I did about a 2 mile run today. Lungs were burning breathing in the cold air.

Of course some of the equipment in my friend's gym is totally different than my gym, so I am guessing I'm hitting some different angles and ranges of motion, and will probably get extra sore this week. |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Weird sometimes training on all new equipment with different bars, angles and such. Felt like I got a good chest pump.
Incline bench x 5 sets Dips x 5 sets Bench press 4 sets Bench press/Dips x 2 supersets Dips x 2 sets Yeah. That's a lotta dips. :r Illinois goes to "shelter in place" starting tomorrow at 5PM for 17 days. Among the exceptions are grocery runs. Glad my friend sells bananas at his gym. ;) :r |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
So jelly. I improvised and used some resistance bands in the basement. No longer need them to tie up people. (Can’t waste the TP). :D
4x12 circuit, minimal rest Band curls, overhead extensions, tri pushdowns Push-ups Squats Reverse lunges I’ll adapt new exercises to keep things interesting and work more parts. Also more running/walking. Got an hour walk in this morning while it was still warm. |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Good for you, Bob.
Last "permitted" day at the gym today, I played around with shoulders and arms, getting used to some of the equipment and trying to bust out the reps. More limited in what I can do at my regular gym, but I am just grateful to have anything at all. 4 guys in the gym today. All practicing social distancing, and wiping down bars, plates and everything each exercise. Next time I go will be to buy a banana. If some weights get picked up and set down in the process, so be it. |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Back day.
I was the only one in the gym, as it is closed to members and just being used by a couple of the owner's buddies privately. Disinfected equipment before and after I used it, opened doors and other things with paper towels that I immediately disposed of. Hopefully that was more than safe enough. The new bars, benches, etc make it interesting as I feel like I hit back just a little differently than I do at my place. I think 4-6 weeks of this might be a really good thing? Super wide pulldowns (neutral grip) x 5 sets High pulls x 5 sets Olympic bar rows x 5 sets Pullups x 2 sets |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
I think you’ll be ok, Tom. Good job doing before, especially. You never know how well it was done after the last use. And I hear ya about doing the same exercises on different equipment. Did a full back workout with bands today. Feeling it, but differently.
Deadlifts Medium grip pulldowns Seated rows One arm rows Straight arm pulldowns Band pull aparts Shrugs Adapted as well as I could with the different weight bands I have. |

Leg day. Found a video online for using bands. Only 4 moves, but damn I’m sweaty and tired.
|
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Way to adapt, Bob. :tu
Chest yesterday. 4 other guys at the gym, most "crowded" it's been. Plenty of room to stay out of each others' way. Bench press x 6 sets Inclines x 4 sets Declines x 4 sets Skullcrushers x 4 sets Tri pushdowns x 4 sets Dead hangs Leg day at Noon. :ze |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II

Chest day. Limited on what I would use because of social distancing. Only 2 peeps in the gym when I got there, but 5 of us by the end.
Incline press x 8 sets Bench press x 5 sets 30* incline x 1 set Dips (varied widths) x 6 sets Dead hangs |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
I’m living vicariously through you Tom. Haven’t done much the last few days. Chest cold has kept me down. I’ll be back soon.
|
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Take care of yourself, Bob, hopefully your cold and this pandemic are over sooner than later and we can get back to "normal".
|
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Back day. 20 something female leaving as I was entering (phrasing), and I had the gym to myself the whole workout. Starting to realize how much more limited I am at this gym, but there are some benefits to going really old school for a few weeks or months (hopefully weeks).
Barbell rows x 6 sets T-bar rows x 5 sets High pulls x 4 sets Wide pulldowns x 3 sets Dead hangs on rings. I like how it allows my bad and good shoulder to both stretch at the right angle. |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Chest yesterday, pretty short and intense. Feeling a bit more limited by the equipment, but feeling blessed to be able to train safely in this time.
Incline bench x 6 sets Dips x 10 sets Vertical bench x 3 sets Leg day today. |

Is the bands/bodyweight workouts helping your healing at all, Bob?
Heading in for back and bis shortly. |

Back/bi day. Did a circuit, with barely any rest in between exercises or sets.
Shrugs Rows Lat pulldowns Hammer curls Band pull aparts 1 warmup set, followed by 4 working sets. :tu |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Not sure about all y'all gym's, but they are closed in my locale for some time. My trainer sent out some work from home routines to her clients.
I have been doing 1 minutes planks as a minimum exercise throughout the day. Hard to say you don't have time for 1 minute. Doing 2-5 of them a day has really made a difference! Very impressed how much so actually. I'm also doing sets of 25 perfect push-up's. One thing I noticed is the pace of doing push-up's affects how many push-up's I can do. Do them at a slower yoga flow pace and 25 is darn near impossible. Do them as quick as proper form can be maintained and then like 30 is not so hard. I realized I was doing them on the slow side as hitting 25 seemed like a bigger deal than my military friends who are like 40+ are no problem. Now I see how they are doing that many! |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Good workout, Bob. :ze
Good that you're staying active. Moses. My gym closed down days before Illinois went on "lockdown". I have a buddy who owns a gym which is closed to members and the public, but he allows a few of his friends from my gym train there. Usually 0-3 other people, all practicing social distancing and disinfecting equipment before and after using. Back day yesterday. Was supposed to be bi's too, but I have a tweak in the belly of the muscle, and first (attempted) set of curls yesterday told me to lay off it. T-bar rows x 5 sets Close-grip bent over rows x 3 sets Cable rows x 4 sets Super wide pulldowns x 4 sets Just Tito and I there yesterday. https://i.imgur.com/b3Ur3py.jpg?1 |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Good for you Moses. I get you on the speed of pushups. Easy to rack out a lot if you’re not following good form. Time under tension is a lot better for you than hitting a number.
Tom, belly of your bicep? I shouldn’t have done so many sets of hammer curls yesterday, or used a lighter band. Aggravated my shoulders. I was doing my best to keep good form, but I think it was the full range of motion at the bottom that did it. |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Yes, Bob, right in the middle of my left bi. Have had similar tears before, if I work around them for 7-10 days they seem to heal themselves.
|
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Just chest today, bi a little testy. Kept it simple, super high reps and super low rest, got through it in no time. One kid there when I arrived (competitive arm wrestler), and Tito arrived as I was stretching at the end.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II

Went for a run/walk today. |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Sounds good, Bob, you runnin' fool you.
Legs coming to a gym near me shortly...… |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Only guy in the gym today. Still sanitized every piece of equipment before, and of course after. Kept it super simple and fast once again.
Front squats x 6 sets Leg press x 6 sets Stiff legged deadlifts x 4 sets Hack squats x 4 sets |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Starting to get a little bored with the limited things to do for some body parts, but then I think how blessed I am to have a place to train when most people do not. Back yesterday, I did some pre-fatigue stuff to change it up before finioshing with the BB rows.
Wide pulldowns x 5 sets High pulls x 4 sets Cable rows x 4 sets Barbell rows x 5 sets ICT today. |

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Been laying off shoulders, neck injury pretty much healed but just being careful. Laying off biceps at least the rest of the week to let that heel too. So pretty much been legs, back, chest and tris lately. Gotta make due.
|
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
I’ve kinda lost motivation right now. Need to get it back.
|
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
If there's anything I can do to help, Bob, please let me know.
Most crowded the gym has been today. But I seemed to have a horseshoe up my ass, as there are two rooms. I was in the North room for half of my workout, and everyone else in the gym was in the south. When I needed to move to the south, everyone except my friend Tito moved to the north. My breath? B.O.? Pure intimidation? WTFK? :r Bench press (heavy) x 8 sets Inclines x 4 sets Vertical bench x 4 sets Skullcrushers x 4 sets Extensions x 4 sets |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Gassed out on legs today. Gym to myself again. Going to take tomorrow off and hope for more gas Monday.
Front squats x 6 sets Hack squats x 6 sets Reverse hamstring curls x 5 sets Extensions x 4 sets |
Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
Lots of energy today, that was nice. :r
Had the gym to myself for about 2/3rds of the lift. The owner and his 2 buds came in but weren't in my area. The young girl and Tito came in just as I was finishing up.
