Rough Squatting and Pull tonight.
510x4(missed on 5th),5,4(missed on 5th)
Pull off 8 mats
505x5,5

No speed on the squatting tonight was totally gassing me. I was just squatting extremely slow. All in all a good workout, hit some sticking points and worked my way through. Bit pissed I didnt hit my numbers. Excuses can be made, next time just gonna have to smash the weights.

I know you will smash 'em, Frank! :tu

Damn right, Frank! :su

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Pretty good lifts this morning. Made sure I did a good warm-up and stretching before doing a little pulling and a little squatting. No tweaking of the back, which was very good. Kept the weights at 60-65% as I've not done either exercise heavy for about a month. Followed up with some ab work and more stretching.

Was sick yesterday but went to the gym anyway. Crushed some 21s on bench (wide, regular, and narrow) with more speed than I've ever done. Three weeks ago, I couldn't even hit 18s; so things are definitely improving. :) Also hit about 40 assisted pull-ups and 20 or 30 assisted dips. HS inclines (1-arm) and pushups were in the mix toward the end, too.

That said, I started feeling pretty pukey and gassed after about 45 minutes. Went home, puked, and slept basically the entire day ... which means I missed jiu-jitsu, too. :td

Decided to sleep in today and I'm feeling much better. Will probably the gym tonight and BJJ tomorrow morning. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I will do some T-Bars for you this morning, Dokk. ;)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Thank you, Admiral. Today's supposed to my my back day, so that'd be greatly appreciated. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Haven't been to the gym in a couple months. Life's been busy and hectic so I've been focusing on other things.

Started P90X yesterday and got thrashed by it!!!
Sore as hell today, only went 2 rounds with the heavy-bag today. Day 2 starts tonight.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Hit back today, and cut my rest between sets in half....really took its toll by the end.

T-Bar rows to 6 plates (heaviest set was brutal)

Barbell rows to 295 (gassed by this time, only got 8 reps with 295)

Pulls ups to failure (Able to get 12, 12, 11, 10, 10 before giving up)

Cable pulldowns/cable rows (as heavy as I could still grip). :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Your back days make me feel like a girly man. :tf

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Tom's non-workout days make me feel like that.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Back and bi's are my strong point, Pete...if only I was as strong on chest! :(

"Don't underestimate yourself, Judge...you're a tremendous slouch". ;) :r

Love ya Brother.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Thanks for the extra reps for me, Admiral. :tu

Getting back into activity tomorrow with some jiu-jitsu in the AM. I'll hit back on Thursday. :su

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Legs and delts for me manana, traps if I have time.

Hoping to get some ice time next week too to keep me in game shape.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Pulled my groin a little in BJJ today. Anyone have any good stretches or remedies t speed the healing process?

Shoulders and rows tomorrow. :wo

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Really hitting shoulders :) Seated shoulder press, High incline bench press, Push Press, and Heavy shrugs. The shrugs made me want to re-think my position on getting wrist wraps to help hold the bar. I've been looking at ATP and elitefts.com and I might pull the trigger on some.

Then I got a massage :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I don't stretch the groin too much when I have a strain, Dokk, just seems to aggravate it more. A little ice, a little Aleve, a little rest is my remedy.

Tore shoulders up too, Christos, went heavy on militarys, seated dumbbell presses, some Smith machine seated presses, then barbell amd dumbbell shrugs.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I use these wraps

They get almost cast like when wrapped tight, but if you like em loose they work perfect also. Almost like a hybrid wrap.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

You looking for wrist wraps, or straps, Christos?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Light bench and incline today, followed up with some arm work, curls and dips. Realized this morning that they have all the clocks in my gym set 5 minutes fast...
