Reps go higher than 5??? Damn....

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I would have never thought that either by looking at my workout log either :r

Hit deadlifts today :D 6sets of 3 reps with varying weights. Also squatted 10 sets of 3 reps with varying weights. That was it because I was pretty dead after all that. Weighed myself (I feel like it has been a while) and I'm down to 224.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Back, Shoulders, and Biceps earlier for me nothing special. Did some overhead pressing with a 2" axle was pretty brutal.

My gym did a cool 2 hour nutrition class this morning. I knew most of the basic stuff going in but did learn a lot about anaerobic fat burning, i.e. sprints on the treadmill with periods of walking. My daughters learned a lot (they workout with me) about diet, and they hear things a little better when it doesn't come out of my mouth. Hit a hard chest and tri workout afterwards, thanks to a big cup of coffee and a scoop and a half of Jack3d. :) Nice Bison steak afterward...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

5 sets of 5 deadlifts 315lbs
6 sets of 3 stiff legs 205lbs
Legcurls an extensions...

Looking good there Gerry.
Lazy weekend for me. Thinking of adding another day of cardio in the routine.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Do it. Try spin, it's fun. That's what I did this morning.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Either that, or my hockey team could use a second enforcer, Frank. :) :bx

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Sadly Tom, I could only enforce in the Parking Lot. Not only can I not ice skate, but I cannot honestly think of a Hockey Rink anywhere near here, unless I drive an hour south to the Verizon Center and watch a Capitals Game.

Hockey isn't very big at all around here.

Too bad Frank, we could have been the twin towers! :D :bx

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Chest this morning. Last week of the 4 week program. Didn't sleep great last night and felt a little off this morning. Lifts: 210x1, 230x1, 245x1,0. the one rep at 245 I did get, I felt was at my limit, so I didn't want to add any more. I tried a second, but got stuck and had to be pulled out by my spotter. At least I hit a new PR :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Excellent, Pete! :tu :ze

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Anyone use an H.I.T. approach for weight training? Just dropped my personal trainer(only using him for nutrition now) and looking for some direction to continue on my own.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I just learned squats a couple weeks ago, so this was my third time doing them ever. last two times I did 3 sets of 8 at 135. Today I wanted to work my way up (doing 5 or 3 each) and see where I crapped out. Got to 205 and did it twice... third time I had to escape.

I'm pretty stoked on that... I do think I could do sets w/ 165-185 and that's probably what I'll try next week.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Been hitting the gym 5 days a week for about 2 weeks AND doing the diet thing (6 meals, 3250 cals) of mostly complex carbs, protien and some simple carbs cuz I am a hard gainer. It really gives me a nice "charge" :D Just thought I'd share.

BTW some one mentioned Natures Research Infinity mass builder (I am going for mass)
Thoughts on this???

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Rocked some Back, Shoulders, and Biceps today. Busted out a new PR on the Overhead Log Press. Brutal.
To be honest Ken, I would just stick to what you are doing now. Later down the road, when you have exhausted all " natural " avenues, then look for something like this or the real thing.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Back at it today, deloading on back and a little biceps with deads,
DEADLIFT DECEMBER!
lat pulldowns, some HS low row and finished off with some 21s.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I triedn to deadlift Decemeber, Pete, but I could only lock out February. :)
