Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Ran the PFE (Physical Fitness Evaluation) today, which consists of push ups, sit ups, and and mile and a half run. Gave it my all, but now I'm exhausted!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Sooo, a bacon cheese burger, chili cheese fries and a milk shake 20 minutes before the chest day at the gym....not a good idea.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

No blood left for your pecs, it was all in your stomach digesting that feast. :r

Heavy back day today, weighted pulls ups, bent over rows to 315, and heavy cable rows.....and no fries before or after. ;)

Wow that's fuggin insane brother. PED doing the trick :tu

Heavy shoulder day today. Started doing the "Four Up Four Down" program off Flexonline.com (last week of it) and I saw a huge improvement all around. Shoulders and legs especially. 6 rep max was 80lb DB press and now I'm up to 90lb DB press. 6 rep max for squat went from 315 to 350.

Nice gains, Huy....gotta love legal PEDs. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Completed my 3rd week of going back into the gym, taking it slow and easy at this point. Moving up real slow as not to trigger old injury in my left elbow. I have lost a solid 15 lbs so far, so far so good:)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Thanks brother. Damn I miss 3-1 dimeth. products though. I should have stocked up.


Very Nice, Jay. Keep up the work.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

It was back day. And it sucked. Bent over rows were not my friend. It could have been worse though...the local brewery down the street from the burger joint was calling my name.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I was running low on a few supplements so I stocked up. When things started showing up I laughed and called myself a meathead. Snapped a photo of what all arrived on one day last week because of the absurdity (and no, more stuff showed up later that week :r).

Nice gains Huy, keep up the good work :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Leg days are the worst. Lunges = hell.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I agree. But if there's anyone here that can't afford to miss them its me.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Ideas for dumbbell/bodyweight exercises to develop lower chest? I am already doing the following chest circuit X 3, but feel most of the burn in upper chest and top/outer edge of the pectoralis. I do not want to turn out like the freaks with pointy pecs.

Standard Pushup x 30
Incline bench - 45lb dumbell X 10
Wide pushup X 30
Flat Bench - 45lb dumbell X 10
Flat bench dumbell Flys

I need to get those 50LB Dumbells.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

How about dips where you concentrate on the angle of your torso to handles; honing in on the chest more than the tri's?

Decline presses are the most common lower chest exercise, but I am not fan of them.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I am working out at home, so I do not have parallel bars. I may try the kitchen counter. I am not a fan of declines either. I always slide down the bench.



Nope....kitchen counter wont work. No room to lean in.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Agree on both counts....Used to do dips between a washer and a dryer in college when that's all I had.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I guess I need to find a place to do dips then.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Nice haul. What do do you think of the Hydro Whey? I am using GNC Wheybolic Extreme right now. May try something else as the price just went up $7 for 3lb.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

First day with a personal trainer... learned a few new things (one of which being that close grip presses and EMOM gasses you QUICK). Cool stuff, but I wouldn't want to do them without a spotter because it seems easy to get stuck.
