Hit chest, tri, and shoulders tonight. 235x12,10,7,7 on the bench, 95x12,10,8,8 for skull crushers, and 70x12,10,8,8 for dumbbell shoulder presses were the highlights. Super-setted with other exercises in between. Good day, but I'm beat now.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Good deal, Rob. :tu

Chest day for me, hit inclines and flat dumbbells, and some wirghted dips to finish off. Tomorrow will be some light legs (have a hockey game at night), and arms.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Worked back and biceps today. Really liking the reverse flyes for my upper back/trap area. Also threw in some barbell shrugs which is out of the ordinary for me. Good day over all. Hit the sauna afterwards, which was an awesome way to end the day.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Reverse flys or the cables... Love the exercise.

Chest tomorrow, think I will go for reps. I got myself a new toy.... Hemo Rage.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Reps for legs and heavy bi's today. Probably was a mistake doing legs on a gmae day, I didn't have much juice in the game.

Shoulders and tri's tomorrow, that shoudln't effect tomorrow night's game.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Tell me what you think....one of my faves, Huy. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

My usual 30 minutes of cardio and shoulders. May attempt a very light back routine tomorrow, see how I feel after work.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Resting today. Going to the range to practice rifle for a couple of hours instead.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Decided to do back instead. Seems like Mondays are chest days for everyone.

Tom, Hemo Rage is the ****. One of the best pumps I've had. Felt like a freaking beast today.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Awesome, Huy! :tu

Shoulders and tri's today, not my strongest day but a good workout considering.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Upper body this morning after my walk:

Standing bicep curls
Standing reverse curls
Standing upright row
Standing french press

Gettin your buzz-on today Huy?:D What flavor is your HR??

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Melon, not the best tasting flavor but its not too much about taste since its a shooter for me.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Off day for me Tuesday. Don't feel like I need one, but I am forcing myself to take one. Should have a monster back workout Wednesday.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Did back tonight after work. Mind you, this the first time I have done back workout since the end of September after I hurt my back. Light weights with high reps and no tightening or muscle spasms, so it appears. Will have to take it easy so not to injure, but glad I can finally add the back routine to the weekly routine.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Made a real try at 225 on bench yesterday... felt close, but didn't get it... will probably try again Thursday. I actually feel like I will be able to do it. :banger

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Don't curl your lower back! Make it an honest lift when it does happen.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Well I figured it was time to post in here. Its always fun to read this thread and since I started hitting the gym hard almost two years ago, its time to share!:banger

They don't call Monday National Chest Day for nothing...:D I do my best to keep my splits so that Chest doesn't hit on Monday but sometimes it happens.

Did Chest/Triceps yesterday. Wasn't feeling it and my shoulder was a tad sore so I went high rep on chest and hit tris hard. Did some flat dumbbell presses and flyes, incline barbell press, Crossovers, then onto Tris.

Today is a high rep legs day. Doing between 20-50 reps on most exercises. Gonna fall over dead once I'm done...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Good to hear, Jay! :tu

Good luck, Dan! :tu

Love it, Zach....I hate when chest falls on a Monday, competing for equipment with all the chest/bi Mon-Wed-Fri lifters. :lr

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I am into toning. Treadmill, situps, pushups and reps with free weights. Not the type of power iron you guys are throwing around though. So not a lot thread wise to contribute. But just to say hi, I have been lurking around here as well.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Shoulders and Tris today. I felt a little more tired than usual, so I had to keep the same amount of reps/weight as last time. Until I can do 12,10,10,and 8 reps in a set, I stay at the same weight. After I get that, I go up in weight and drop the rep count, then slowly build up again. It's really helped me build my strength.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Chesty chest. Good day, happy with my results today. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Off day....right elbow was killing me all day. Best it has felt all day is right now, hoping I am good to go for back in the A.M..

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I don't want to do legs... :(

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Just finished off arms with some 22 oz curls

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I've been starting back days with pull ups for time... got 50 in 4:30 yesterday... :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I'm expecting to see you looking like Tom next time we herf, Dan!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Yeah, if Tom went on a no food diet for 6 months... :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Did shoulders today. Has to be one of my least favorite groups to work. Just for extra measure I did some DTP ez bar curls for Biceps as well. I don't usually do Bicep/shoulder splits, but it worked out this week. :banger

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

You funny guys!

Elbow held up today, cut my number of exercises way down and cut my rest between sets to almost nil. Bent over rows, cable rows and barbell shrugs. That was it, about 20 sets in less than 30 minutes, and my back is toast.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Glad it held up Mr.Hog!

You know you had a good leg workout when you want to throw up.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

When I was younger, Hujy, our leg day would consist of way too many sets of heavy squats, followed by a 10 minute drive to a toboggan hill down the raod. We would run sprints up the hill, our goal being 10. None of us ever made it, by run number 7 or so, either our hamstrings would lock up, or we would literally be puking our guts out.

I think it was around those days I began to train on an empty stomach, and do so to this day.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Took the day off to rest the right arm this morning. Back to it tomorrow AM...

Was that an Ale or a Lager Jay;)

Yep! No fun running up the big incline only to drop your cookies...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Yet we did it every week, week in and week out during the non-snow months. Ah, to be 20 again! :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

:r...I'm sure both legs would tear away before I even reached the half-way mark now Tom:D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Rob hooked me up zemekone style! Besides the NO-Explode, he sent some ON BCCAs, some whey protein, a nice set of Bodybuilding.com lifting straps and an awesome Coast Guard pin. Best part might have been the note, complete with some artwork. Rob, I won't post a pic, but the art made me smile...Thank you, Brother, I will be hitting the NO-Explode tomorrow, been a long time since I used it. :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Glad it got to you alright, Tom. It wasn't much, but I'm glad it'll go to good use. Enjoy, and get big! :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Gonna give the NO-Explode a go in about 30, Rob. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

One of the hardest Pilates classes to date. One chick brought her boyfriend to class and he was crying. I think the instructor as being devious that there were 4 guys in class. Chatted with a few gals and they thought the class was harder than usual.

My core has never been as strong, if only I could shed some fat, but that would mean less wine, cheese and meat...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

How did the NO work for ya Tom?


Yeah they definitely LOVE to do that. The TRX instructor at my gym does that when the class fills up with noobs especially if they are men...:sl

I wasn't feeling it today so I did Calves and Abs with 30 mins Cardio. Made it through even if I really didn't wanna be there today!:gary

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Very cool, Rob.

Did shoulders and some abs today. Felt so so, could have gone harder but had Staci with me so I had to reduce the exercises. I did managed to squeeze in 6 working sets for presses.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I had a chitload of energy, Zach, which translated well, as my elbow was wonky, so I went with a medium weight / super high rep / super low rest scheme. I got a helluva pump, not sure if that will translate into any growth but it sure jacked me up.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Upper body this afternoon following and early AM at work:

Standing reverse curls x4/8reps
Standing bicep curls x4/8reps
Standing upright row x4/8reps
Standing french press x4/8reps

Upper body feeling good:tu

...darn women;)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Well it should help ya grow...if not at least you were super pumped! :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Back day. Went heavy. Fun.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Love me some back, Huy. :tu

Arms today, fighting a cold and a sore elbow, but got a good one in anyway. Skipped legs 'til tomorrow as I have hockey tonight and didn't want to push it.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Hoping you feel better soon, Tom!

Chest tomorrow... or today since it's 2am

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

No lifting for the past couple of days...I have regionals for pistol, and I want to be as steady as I can be! Will return to the church of brawn on Sunday.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Nice walk with the dawg earlier this morning, followed by a great upper body workout:

Standing reverse curls x4/8reps
Standing bicep curls x4/8reps
Standing french press x4/8reps
Standing upright row x4/8reps

Feeling some nice burns in the french press and upright row:tu Have a great Saturday everyone...


A good cup of joe right before always works;):D

Good luck with the Regional Shoot Rob:tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Yup! I just polished off two Boston creams from DD since I'm done shooting...definitely gonna have to get my butt back in the gym tomorrow!
