Surprisingly well. Tomorrow should be a different thing. Still focusing on form over weight.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Light shoulder and a tricep blast. Neighborhood walks suck without a cigar.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Went in today to hit up legs. I’m gonna feel it tomorrow.

Leg press
Hip adductors
Hip abductors
Hamstring curls
Calf raises

Went light on weights and held at the bottom on the presses to get a good stretch.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Did back and chest supersets yesterday, anticipating being home while our new roof is installed today. Of course, it's raining. :hn :lr

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Hit up chest/shoulders today. A friend of mine was there and suggested a routine he did yesterday. Setup a bench in front of the cables. Using different positions, do flyes/presses to hit all the muscles in the chest. Didn’t have to use a lot of weight to get a good pump. And since you’re always under tension , got a good stretch too. Then some band work for delts. I’m gassed.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Good workout today, back and arms. Did more reps and weight for most everything.

Single arm rows
Lat pulldowns
Close grip seated rows
Shrugs
Tri pushdowns
Hammer curls
Tri extensions
Ez bar curls

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Good stuff, Bob. :ze

I took inspiration from your schedule last week and had ICW today. :banger

Tossed in some tris and traps for good measure.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Nice Tom! I originally thought I’d just go three days a week, doing chest/shoulders one day, back/arms another and then legs. Or some variation there of. But didn’t take me but a week to go 4 times and thinking about adding a fifth for cardio/stretching.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

I kinda figured you would up your time/days once you got back in the swing, Bob. Good on you, keep it up Brother. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Great work gents! Just a lot of neighborhood walks for me.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Whatever it takes, Greg. How's the joints feeling?

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Feeling old and broken :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

You're way too young for that, Greg, that's my job. Hope it gets better. Brother.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Thank you, Sir. I’m old and broken but not beaten. Going to be a long road to recovery but I’ve been down that road.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

You got this, Greg. No doubt. :tu

Leg Day!

Hip adductors, to help get a good stretch of the groin (not that stretch sickos)
Leg press
Quad extensions
Hamstring curls
Calve raises

Was doing cardio on the treadmill after, when I felt something pop in my foot. Well that sucks. Came home and took a couple ibuprofen, washing it down with a beer. :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Hope the foot is ok, Bob. :tu Sounds like a good leg day until then.

Back day for me, lots of volume.

Bent over rows
T-bar rows
Pullups
Close grip pulldowns
Rear delt flyes

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

It still hurts this morning, but not as bad. Definitely won’t be running on it for a while.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Hope it's a quick heal (or heel, no pun intended) Bob.

Leg day coming up. Maybe throw some other parts in if the gym isn't too busy.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Didn’t make it in over the weekend, so today was chest/shoulder day! Gym was packed too, all of 11 people including me. That’s double, maybe triple what’s usually there.

Seated chest press
Incline dumbbell press
Seated shoulder press
Incline dumbbell flyes/narrow press
Ez bar upright rows
Dumbbell lateral/front raises
Rear delt flyes

The drive home was fun. Trouble lifting my arms. :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Sounds like a good one, Bob. No liftee armees. ;) :D

I hit back today, hard and heavy. Wanted to do some shoulder work as well but everything "push" was filled by the ICM people. ;)

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Hope the foot is feeling better Bob.

Hope you can hit the chest today Admiral, ah push it, push it real good!

Off for a walk.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Foot is coming around. Did the bike for warmup and cardio after.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Good news, Bob. :tu

Leg day, maybe some push work if I still have gas after legs.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Monday was push day, so today was pull. Good back and arm day. Upped the weight a bit, plus did more reps for most exercises.

Single arm rows
Close grip rows
Wide grip lat pulldowns
Shrugs
Tri pushdowns
Hammer curls
Skullcrushers
Ez bar curls

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Killer, Bob. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Thanks Tom. I’m not back to my peak levels, but getting there. If I could only get my diet/appetite under control, I’d be doing much better.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

I eat great throughout the day, smaller portions and low carb and fat. Then I blow it all before bed with less healthy stuff 'cause I'm starving. I need a new plan too. :lr

Actually I think it's more routine/habit than anything. I'm smoking and drinking...I just need to change back to nuts and other healthy snacks from the cookies and candy.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

How the fudge do I strain a shoulder muscle on leg day? :fp

Good leg day though. Was gassed by the end.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

I keep aggravating my hip and groin on back day. I don't what it means, Bob, but I'm sure I don't like it. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Not a bad day. Chest/shoulders. Did assisted dips for the first time. Kinda humbling to know where I used to be to where I’m at now. But I’ll get there eventually.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Nice workouts gents. Took the tape of my shoulder and working through some itchy ness and dizziness :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Keep it up, Bob and Greg!

Last workout of the week before Shack is today. Only 5 day break I take all year excepting illness or injury.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Enjoy Shack and the time off

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Back and arm day. Felt good, so more weight and reps. Just wish my shoulder would stop bothering me.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Leg day! Making progress.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Good work!

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

ICM! Good chest/shoulder workout today.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

I did, Greg!

Back to the grind today. :ze

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Grind the back day :ze

Good back workout today. Lots of pulling. Maybe should’ve taken that second 45ib plate off the shrug machine though. :D

Seated wide grip rows
Lat pulldowns
Single arm rows
Shrugs
Tri pushdowns
Hammer curls
Tri extensions
Ez bar curls

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Good work, Bob. :tu :ze

I started back Tuesday after Shack, today will be some back/chest super sets.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Leg day! Got more volume overall.

Leg press
Leg extensions
Hamstring curls
Calf raises

A little bit of cardio too on the treadmill.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Not the greatest day at the gym. Skipped yesterday due to my stomach issues. Went in today for chest/shoulders. Got thru dips and some seated presses. Went to go do incline press and my shoulders weren’t having it. Did some extra cardio to at least feel productive.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Hope the shoulder feels better next time, Bob.

I'm taking a day off to rest my old bones.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Rest up Tom. Hope the shoulders feel better Bob.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Greg, with all the wear and tear, I considered dropping to 4 days a week.

Then I thought how bored I would be the other 3 days, smoking breakfast cigars and sipping mimosas. :sl

I'll keep going 5-6 days. :lr

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Ok, back at it. Chest and shoulders. Went light, but lots of reps, pushing most times to failure. :ze

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Glad you're back at it, Bob.

I've got a double today before work. Hip has been a b!tch lately, I know one day it will demand repairs. :hn

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Yea, just had to give my body a few days to recover. My shoulders feel good today. But then I didn’t do dips. Lol.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Good pull day. Lots of reps/volume again. Used the MAG grip bars on the reverse grip pulldowns and seated rows. Man that fried my grip. Like it, as I can see if building up my grip strength.
