Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Suprised at how strong I felt on shoulders doing them after heavy chest today, but I earned an extra day off Saturday (going to Soundgarden Friday nght and have to work Saturday), so I am happy.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Soundgarden should be awesome!!! I had my day off last night, chest and arms tonight. Arms and shoulders are a bit shot at the moment, snow blower $hit the bed the other night and had to shovel the driveway today. Brutal!!!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

oh i know they wont. i used to work out regularly while in the military and ten some time after. just seems the last 3+ years i dropped the ball big time.

The soreness will come and my chest and arms feel useless to me today but its expected. my normal routine was 2 days of lifting then a rest day of just cardio. give my body plenty of healing time and its the system i know works for me.

well off to the gym for my 40 minutes of cardio day. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Stick with it bro!!! :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I'm also checking in and going to keep tabs on this thread. Right now my goal is to get in good physical shape for the summer since I'm going to be training the new guys here at the Academy. Heavy lifting and body weight exercises are going great for me, but boy do I need to start running!

I did "Pull" day today. Back, lats, biceps, and traps.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Chest felt great today. 6x8 225 on flat, 6x8 85lb incline db, cable flys, and finished it off with some weighted dips. Did some triceps as well, but not a whole lot since the chest was shot after dips.

Legs tomorrow, going to let my back rest another day.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Chest for me today as well, flats, inclines and flyes. Legs tomorrow too...we must be on the same cycle, Huy. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

chest yesterday... finally got back to 215 on bench (weighed a little less than 150)!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Quite respectable ratio!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Rest day yesterday, but working chest, tri and shoulder tonight. Moving up weight in shoulder presses and bench press today.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Dan!

Decided to leave work early last night. Dragged Staci to the gym and we hit legs. It was a nice but grueling day.

Hitting back today and tonight I will hit arms. 2 straight days of double days, tomorrow will be my day off.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Sweeett a workout thread.....

Quick background

I am 6'4 ...245 lbs mostly solid mass

Played college ball at UCLA and was the number 4 linebacker recruit in 1998....

I just came back from the gym...ran for 45 mins then did a quick 25 mjn workout

8 sets of one arm pull ups 15x each arm

600 pushups...sets of 6 ...100 straght per set

500 crunches

15 mins of jumprope with 15 sec rest between every minute

I stopped lifting heavy the last 4 months because i was at 265 and my clothes fit a little to tight and I was looking to bulky...doing more of the Hershel Walker routine till summer time

Google " David Melo Taft football" if your interested in football

Keep staying healthy fellas staying healthy is good for the soul and mind

Laters

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Did you end up making the team, David? I can't find you on the UCLA rosters in '98 or '99.

120 one arm pull-ups with each arm is pretty damned impressive....I would struggle to get 120 with both arms. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I left right after a month buddy to work at Sikand engineering. I hurt my knee and never looked back.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

BTW...I found a trick out a while ago to strengthen my upper back tremendously that allowed me to perform the one arms shortly after. Get two towels and put one right next to your inner part of your hand on both sides. Do as many regular pull ups you can do normally.. right before you feel like you can't do anymore grab the towels and hang literally until you loose all strength and grip. I rested 5 mins between sets. After a few months of doing so every 3 days, you should be good :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Hey Tom! Bring your PT clothes on your trip. We can get a couple days of lifting in.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Well, thats gonna create a big stink;)

Upper body:

Barbell upright row
Standing curls
Standing french press

Feels great after a 50min walk in the morning with the dog:tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I do that type of hang to failure several times on back day, good stuff. :tu

Best hangover cure ever, Shawn. :lr

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Headin off to the gym... first day I'm trying M Stak by Universal...we'll see how that goes!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Took today off, my elbow is aggravated from heavy biceps yesterday. I will hit it tomorrow if it feels ok after my hockey game tonight.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Hey all, I've been slowly weening myself off caffeine over the past couple of weeks, and now I'm completely caffeine free. My body just became too sensitive to its effects. I have half a container of N.O. Xplode 2.0 Lemon Flavor (about 25 servings). If anyone wants it, just shoot me a PM with your mailing info and I'll send it to you. I don't want to see it go to waste, and wanted to offer it one of the inmates before giving it away.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Hey buddy I know what u mean. I had similar effects on Jack 3d preworkout. Vpx synthesize and a scoop of 24 grams- ON Gold standard whey and I feel ready to workout for hours.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

The NO Xplode has found a new home!

Yeah, it was getting to the point where I almost felt out of breath because I was breathing so quickly. I get the same way with energy drinks now too, so I just stopped caffeine altogether. Since I do competitive pistol and rifle shooting, it's it helps me stay steady. Now I just take an intraworkout supplement (BCAAs and glutamine) when I'm lifting.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

It was a hard hitting game, Mark, but my elbow and shoulder actually feel better....even though I got the arm cranked by one of their D-men, If I can get some ZZZs, back to the gym manana.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Took today off and taking tomorrow off to give my left shoulder some time to heal. Hit chest and triceps hard yesterday. Starting to see some gains and recovery time is getting better now that I have been able to be more consistent.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Good deal, Jay! :tu

I am heading in today for at least a light day, elbow feels significantly better.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Pilates kicked me in the rear last night. The walk back to the locker room was difficult.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Had a nice day off yesterday... I would like to consider yesterday a "bulking" day or pretty much a I eat whatever the hell I want day lol. After doing 2 a days Monday and Tueaday, I just felt like I needed a day off.

We just adopted a dog, she's been crying all morning and I am now fully awake. Shoulder day.... Thank you new dog for waking me up.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Maybe you should name the new dog "Deltoid", Huy. :)

Shoulders and traps for me today....elbow feels to worse for the wear after going up to 455 on the shrugs. Suprised I had the gas after my late hockey game last night.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Hit back, biceps, and traps today. 225x12, 10, 10, 8 for bent over rows is finally starting feel light after a couple of weeks of slowly increasing the rep count. Also hit 95x12,10,10,8 on the curls...spring break is coming up after all :)

On another note, I'm loving M-Stak (day 2), really makes me feel strong and focused.

Tom your package is en route!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Deads and shoulders today. Felt pretty good.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Haha I just saw this now, she came with a name already. Little Bear, but we are just going to make it short and call her Bear.

Btw...starting to think we are on the same cycle :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Maybe our periods are parallel. :lr

How about we compromise and call her "Little Deltoid"? :D

Thanks Rob, glad the other stuff is working nicely for you! :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

What breed of dawg is Little Bear Huy?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

My periods are usually around this time, lol. Okay we can call her little deltoid but only on this forum.

Mark, we aren't even sure. The owner wasn't even sure. The vet thinks she's a snoozle mix (I know I spelled that wrong). She weighs 13.4lb but because of the condition we got her in, I'm not sure if that's the average weight she should be.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Been doing the Strong lifts 5X5 workout for about 3 weeks now. Its a pretty interesting workout. The squats are getting easier despite the weight going up. my form is getting better and making them easier to do.

The workout is based on 5 diff. lifts: squat, bench press, dead lift, barbell shoulder press, bent over rows. everything is 5 sets of 5 reps, except for dead lifts, its only 1 set of 5 reps.

Day 1 is squats, bench, and rows.

day 2 is squats, press, and dead lift.

workouts are every monday, wednesday, and friday. Every day you you increase your weight 5 pounds, except for the dead lifts, you increase by 10 pounds.

Its a pretty good workout to get strong and gain muscle.

if you want more info, go to stronglifts.com

:D...what do Vets know anyways;) Schnoodle maybe?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Maybe... But she is not a pup. She's about 3 years old (we think). I'll bring this to pm since its a workout forum.

By the way, why does Tom get a package?!? Supps? :(

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Yeah I offered up half a can of NO Xplode because my body is way too sensitive to caffeine for some reason. I was shaking in the gym haha!

Next time I get some more freebees from my online supplement store, I'll offer them up! My house is less than 10 minutes away from the ProSource factory, so I get lots of samples when I stop in.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
