Ridonkulous Day: DE Legs + DE Chest

I'm traveling this weekend; so since I'm going to be missing my usual DE chest day, I decided to do both today. Stupid? Probably. LoL!

DE Legs

Parallel Box Squats
Bar x lots
95 x 8
135 x 5
185 x 5
225 x 3
245 x 3
255 x 3 x 8 sets

Banded Squats
185 + mini band x 3
185 + monster mini x 3
185 + light x 3
225 + light x 3
275 + light x 3 x 2

Pull-down Abs
12 x 4 sets

DE Chest

Bench
bar x lots
95 x 5
135 x 5
135 x 3 x 8 sets (2 wide, 3 medium, 3 close ... on the clock)
135 x 5
185 x 3

Tried to do some 3 board presses, but didn't have boards and the 10# plates I wrapped together weren't very balanced. I almost dropped the weights on my face. Ugh.

Tried 205 after that; but my CNS was just shot -- just couldn't "turn it on" to get the weights back up. Oy. I'd been lifting for almost 2 hours at this point. Talked with the trainer guy who was spotting me. He has an MA in kinesiology. Then did some support exercises.

Overhead cable extensions with v-bar: 8 x 3 sets
Face-pulls: 10 x 3 sets
Cable upright rows: 8 x 3 sets
Hammer curls: 10 x 3 sets
Barbell shrugs 10 x 2 sets

I'm beat and won't ever try that again. Stupid. stupid, stupid.

Sounds like a good day at the gym :ze

I slept in this morning, up at 6 to shower, scarf down some oatmeal and head off to the train to work. Gonna have to fit a leg workout in some time tomorrow between a bar mitzvah in the morning and a herf in the afternoon. Guess that means going at 8 before everything starts. Getting up early on a Saturday sucks.

at least your deadlifting, most people avoid it because it's hard work. Hard work will get you stronger and bigger.

Runners use a massage stick (www.thestick.com)..that helps really work hamstrings from easy angles. If you have a mini basket ball or mini soccer ball..rolling ontop of that works well also.

*update on me*
Been working out...nothing crazy...

Thanks a lot man! Looking forward to trying out the chalk on my deads and cleans.

Had a great workout this morning. PR day for me in squat and dead - first time I've ever done an actual 1RM. Squatted 315x5,335x5,345x5 (PR). Deadlifted 275x2,315x5 (previous PR at 2 reps), 365x1(new PR) took me three tries to get it up, but it felt great to do it.

Done after that, stretched and went home to shower/eat.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3

Congrats on the super squat day Pete! :tu
