Heavy chest this morning. Was distracted and didn't get in the work I wanted to as one of my contacts was bothering me. Got home and took it out to see a rip down the middle of it. Damn thing ruined my workout... :sl

I hate that, Pete. Had one screwing with me during an otherwise enjoyable round of golf over the weekend. I think I'm going to start packing an extra set at all times.

Shoulders for me today. Lots of shrugs and lateral raises...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I'm back. :ze

Missed y'all, looking forward to getting and giving some motivation again.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

taurine and drinking lots of fluid will keep that away...

Haven't posted up in here in, well, forever. Figured I'd give a brief update. After my 4month exodus a while back (due to injury) I got back to lifting and have returned to form.

Got passed some pretty major obstacles on the way back to where I was pre-injury. In fact, in virtually all lifts I have surpassed my previous 1RM weight.

Bench is now 290 (pretty good for me)
Deadlift is now 481
Pullup is now 314
Squat is now 399 ~ only 6 more lbs to equal my previous.

Not too shabby... Training hard and with purpose. My goals are:
Squat - over 405
Dead - over 500
Bench - 315+
Pullup - 350

bookended with cardio

A friend of mine is one of the most successful personal trainers around Boston and we are working out this weekend. Not as client/trainer, but ends up being kinda like that either way. Saves me the $100+ per session. I'll have to provide the booze and cigars for after....

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

My kinda post-workout, Moses! :tu

Back on tap today.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Need some diversity. Been doing push-ups every day since September of last year. 90 - 10 breaths, then 20 slow and full is the routine for the past few months.

Tried jumping jacks for a while but popped a hammie and stopped to get ready to go skiing in January.

Need some cardio advice - seems like I'm only motivated to do things right out of bed so needs to be available right then.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Have any cardio equipment at home, Dave?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Not sure on space limitations but a jump rope could work

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Nordic Ski is king followed by Concept II for home, but former does not come easy.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Have an old schwinn Airdyne in the basement. It's a beast and what I used a decade ago to drop 40 lbs in 40 days. (Along with diet)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Maybe trying a couple devices at a club (or even a hotel's fitness room) might give you an idea of what feels comfortable and what you like. A one day pass to a club and try out the eliptical, stair-master, etc. :)

I'm a big fan of the Extreme C4. Not as big of an initial hit as the Jack3d. Identical workout energy boost in my opinion with a great pump. Tastes great, like a very sugary koolaid. No crash a couple hours later like Jack3d was giving me.

:tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I got Gerainamo from trueprotein.com Taste is ok, not the worst tasting stuff ever but it is definitely the best preworkout I've taken. I get a better focus from this than from jack3d. I'm not sure if they posted the ratio of ingredients on their sight yet but I definitely think theres a better ratio of creatine/beta alanine/stimulants in this than in jack3d.

Bad part is shipping sucks. The supplement cost $18 and some change- discount through rep code+shipping=$27 to my door.

Yeah, checked out the site, $9 for regular UPS Ground is :bs
