Man, that's funny.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

It's almost a Police Siren sound, and the light looks like the Old School type you'd see in Dragnet. I'll take a picture of it whenever we go back there. We're not loud at all, but if they ever say anything to us we're canceling out our memberships and leaving.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Chalk! Yes!

Used to have the break open "smelling salts" for right before a heavy set of squats.

100 rubber plates.

Squat stands that looked like two huge tire jacks.

Now I am getting nostalgic....

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

One of the biggest pet peeves of mine is not reracking your weights. The weights looked like someone dropped a bomb all over the place.

Did chest today, felt really nice. Went solo, so couldn't go as heavy as I wanted to but still had some nice results.

Incline db 4x8 (got it up to 95lb)
Flat db flys 4x7
Weighted dips 3x8
Hammer strength presses 4x5 with drops sets

Finished off with some abs

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Don't like that one at all. Especially dumbbells. Having to hunt for the other dumbbell is a waste of energy. I reall dislike when people who work at a gym sitting on their rears are not on the floor reracking weights.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Ohhhh the trainers there were doing the same thing...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Arms today.

Close grip bench 4x8
Weighted chin ups 4x8
Reverse grip tricep pull downs 4x12
Incline db curls 4x8
Hammer curls 4x6

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Back workout today, dropped the weight but upped the reps.

T-Bar rows to 295
Bent over rows to 295
Cable rows to 240
Pull ups

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Legs and biceps tonight after work.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Me too, in about 20 minutes. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Good morning lifters:ze

Made damned sure I walked my radio in from the patio this morning prior to working out:tu

Standing reverse curls x5/8reps
Standing bicep curls x5/8reps
Standing french press x5/8reps
Standing upright row x5/8reps
Standing press x5/8reps

Bumped the Assault up to 30g and I thinks that's the ticket. Could probably add an additional 5 lbs to the french press, but will wait until next week...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

A little foggy this morning during my early morning walk with the dawg. Rockin out this morning in the garage:

Standing reverse curls x5/8reps
Standing bicep curls x5/8reps
Standing french press x5/8reps
Standing upright row x5/8reps
Standing press x5/8reps

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Solid heavy back workout yesterday and chest today. Hoping I still have a little juice left for legs and arms tomorrow.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Had a great back day yesterday. Then Christos wanted a cigar....so I may of had a couple breakfast stouts while I waited for him to get there...then may of also had some wine with the cigar. I'm so not disciplined.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Legs today... It was fun. Nice to be back in a gym where I didn't have to walk around finding matching dbs.

Even though I was gone all last week, still managed to get in the gym.

Hack squats 5x8
Squats 6x8
Single leg extensions ---- walking lunges 3x10
Seated leg curls 4x10

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Strongest shoulder workout in months today, with less pain....shout out to Scott (shilala) for the help.

Seated military press 185 x 21, 205 x 19, 225 x 14, 245 x 8, 265 x 4.
Light close grip military press for reps
Skull crushers to finish off the tris

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

225 X 14? Now, that is a freaking beast. I thought my 185 was bad ass :sl

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

OK for an old guy, I guess. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Old is an understatement :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

You're not too big for me to put you over my knee, Funny Man. ;)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Xoxo

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

damn... I thought my one rep of 145 was bad ass!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Day off for me today, back to the gym manana.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Did legs and biceps last night after work. The exrta four sets of squats I did is still making me feel like I just finished. Felt gooood.................

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Good deal, Jay! :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Huy I think you are focusing on the wrong part. I think the fact that Tom did 245x8 and 265x4 after the 14 reps is way more impressive.

Good work, Pops :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Shoulders today, it was fun.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Thanks, Son. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Had to travel to Santa Ana this morning for a meeting, so I got the dawg up a bit early at 04:00 for our walk, and then in to the garage for the usual:

Standing reverse curls x5/8reps
Standing bicep curls x5/8reps
Standing french press x5/8reps
Standing upright row x5/8reps
Standing press x5/8reps

Should mention we "tree'd" a racoon this morning during our walk. He (the racoon) stopped about 8' up in a "Y" area of the tree. We moved to about 10' from that "Y" and observed. That racoon was just staring down at us with its "bandit looking face." What a great looking animal. Nonetheless, and with great resistance from the dawg, we con't on our walk:)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Back today, decided to go (relatively) light and make it a rep day.

T-Bar rows 225 X 25, 23, 21 19, 18, 15, 13, 11 (shortened rest period between every set)

CG Cable rows, 240 in similar fashion

Barbell Rows, 225 in similar fashion

Abs to finish.

I was pumped like crazy and soaked by the end.

I was preaching to a youngster in the gym yesterday about not going heavy every workout, cycling in some rep days....so I figured I better practice what I preached. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Back and chest day for me, this whole week has been a funky schedule so since it's Friday, just had to throw in chest... haven't done chest in a while.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Why, did something unusual happen in your life this last week?






:lr :noon

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

A little :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

EeeeeeeHaaaaaawwwww! Blue grass tunes playing on the local college station this morning in the garage:

Standing reverse curls x5/8reps
Standing bicep curls x5/8reps
Standing french press x5/8reps
Standing upright row x5/8reps
Standing press x5/8reps

Able to add new weight to the reverse curls this AM, and decided to add weight to the other routines come next workout session.

Assault Recon and Creatine arrived the other day. So the creatine has now been added to the pre and post workout liquids and tracking same. Dosage for Recon is 40g and will be sticking with that to see how that rides for post workout.

Regarding WeightWatchers, have dropped from 249 to 239 during the last two weeks, so the weight is taking a positive direction.

You guys have a great Sunday as its time to shower/shave and we're heading out to see Oblivion with Cruse and Freeman. Looking forward to this flic.

And, a big :hb to you Tom:tu Hope you'll be able to locate at least a couple of decent smokes from the humi to enjoy...:rolleyes:

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Thanks, Mark! I started off my birthday with legs and arms, I really know how to celebrate, eh? :lr

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Chest and abs today.

Decided to make it a rep week, felt good though. Nice pump and all around good lifts.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Shoulders, traps and abs today....not a bad workout after hockey and celebrating last night.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Back shoulders and biceps today. Not looking forward to it since I took too many days off.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Did back today, energy and focus was just not there. Too much on my mind. Still did it... now back to work. :sl

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Same here Huy. Just moped my way through it. Then came home to mow grass with a mower that wouldn't start. After killing my already tired shoulder I have up and paid the kid next door to do the yard.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Workout morning in the garage:

Standing reverse curls x5/8reps
Standing bicep curls x5/8reps
Standing french press x5/8reps
Standing upright row x5/8reps
Standing press x5/8reps

Bumped-up my weights in biceps, french curls, upright row, and std press. The body was telling me it was time to start pushing it into a new level:tu

Have a great Wednesday everyone...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Long day today at the gym.

Shoulders and legs, and somehow I even managed to get deads in. I am beat, and I have work tonight too YAY!!! I will not be in the mood to deal with crappy players and dealers tonight.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Chesty day. Kept it to 3 exercises but did 6 sets. Light week over! Looking forward to next week.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

It was back day.
Cable pull downs 5 sets each wide and narrow
Cable pulls 5 sets
Dead lifts 4 sets
30 minutes cardio

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Free shipping from FitRX.com this week if you order a Optimum Nutrition product....good for those who like their Gold Standard Whey.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Damn it! I just bought stuff yesterday. Thanks for looking out Sir Tom.

Chest day, went heavy but just couldn't get much going on flat.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Back day for me, rotator cuff was barking, so I kept the rows (relatively) light.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Shoulder day for me this morning. I think my thick scull is finally going to call the doc and schedule an appointment for the left shoulder. Mucle getting stronger, joint not able to handle and feels week.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Finally back in the gym after being in the hospital with meningitis for a week. Getting back to my original strength before getting sick slowly but surely

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Kick some arse, Rob! :tu
