Crossfit WOD today was nothing but deadlifts. After a good warm up, we pounded out 150 reps. My time was 13:15 at 95#. Jumped on the bench press machine afterward and knocked out a couple sets.

Anyone here like putting plates under their heels during front squats? I personally do not though I might be missing good reasoning behind it.

Legs today. Just couldn't seem to get going so I quit a bit early and did some cardio

I don't care for it personally.
The reasoning behind it, is to direct more of the focus on your quads. Push with your toes, its going to be mainly quads. Push with your heels its going to be mainly hamstrings doing the work.
Only thing I can add to this would be avoid doing it all of the time. Eventually your quads will totally over power your squat. In my observations guys, that avoid and/or cannot go deep in the squat is directly linked to weak hamstrings.

Use them sparingly, also, I would go light and high rep with these.

Hey, i realized that I'm starting to develop some stretch marks on my pecs and arms. I freaked out last night, but I've calmed down a bit and wanted to see if you guys had any opinions/solutions. Is that just a part of lifting, or is there something I can actually do about it?

I got stretch marks where my shoulders and delts tie in many, many years ago Jeremy, They faded with time, but sometimes when you put on a lot of muscle in a short time, it is inevitable. You may be able to reduce them with some topical lotions, but probably not eliminate them completely.

yesterday was "off" -- just 30 minutes of cardio.

today was legs. I was supposed to meet a friend; but he got sick. hit leg press heavy -- working up with reps to failure from 2pie to 16pie ... then back down to 8. that about killed me. :r followed it up with some stiff-legged deads, ham curls, machine squats, and 15 minutes of cardio.

I'm wrecked. :ze

How deep are the stretch marks?? If they look pretty deep then they may stick around for a while. I have some on my legs above my knees but they aren't noticable because I have hairy legs :r

Well, I've gotten over my panic a little, since I realized I'm not a girl or a model. In any case, they're not too bad, more a slight annoyance to me more than anything, but just wanted to nip it in the bud. Had a nice long workout of Back and Bi's and some cardio. Chest and Tri's and some more cardio planned for tonight.

When my wife was pregnant, she rubbed cocoa butter on her belly to help prevent stretch marks. You could try that :D

On a serious note, there is a product, Mederma, that is supposed to reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

Well you are Greek;)

Been hitting the gym 3x a week consistently the last few months.

Q. Does it matter what 2 body parts I combine during my workout?
Ex. is it better to do biceps and back or biceps and chest OR..does it not matter what 2 I combine for my routine as long as it's 1 large muscle group and 1 small muscle group?

Bao this is a loaded question. Who says doing a body split is in fact the best way to workout? Why not try full body workouts? Something to think about.

A good way to set up a routine around a body split is by using a push/pull routine. For example for arms a pulling excercise would concentrate on biceps while a pushing excercise would concentrate on triceps. Chest/back push would be bench, pull would be bent over rows. I really like splitting my workouts like that and it just seems to be more functional then a pure body split.

abs are not a big muscle group

big muscle groups: chest, back, legs
supporting for:
chest: shoulders and triceps
back: biceps and shoulders

that was the lazy mans answer

Thanks for the input Kristos. I was doing a full body workout but got tired of the same old thing so I changed it to 2 parts a day...again..I just lift the weights..I don't actually know what I'm doing..kinda like smoking cigars :D

Not a bad split. Id go with this.
Day#1 Week #1 Shoulders Tris
Day#2 Back
Day#3 Chest Bis
Day#1 Week #2 Squat
Day#2 Shoulders Tris
Day#3 Back
Day#1 Week #3 Chest Bis
Day#2 Legs
Day#3 Shoulders Tris

But Bao is going for abercrombie look so i ultimately recommend;
day #1 Leg press super set with bicep curls, after a week or two totally skip all leg activity and just o some calves.
day#2 Bench press super set with triceps then biceps. At least 6-10 working sets on flat bench. Eblows flarred of course.
day #3 More bench at least 40 working sets for biceps. Triceps and calves. maybe some shoulder pressing. If done recommendations is to use half reps and wide grip or bar. Or use dumbbells altogether and shorten range as much as possible.

Once I see signs of a plateau I take a week off. Most of the time it works out to being around 6-8 weeks then I take a week off. No sense in still lifting balls to the wall if I'm not seeing gains. My workouts are rotated as far as exercises, intensity of lifts, rest times and reps/sets to prevent plateauing. For a beginner I wouldn't be worried about plateauing quickly.

A beginners problem is they don't stick with a workout long enough to see results. 6weeks for a beginner is not enough time to benefit maximally to a routine. :2

Hit the gym today for the first time in about 3 weeks! Worked out harder on bench than I have in a good long while. Did some back and legs along with the chest. Working legs wore me out today. Tried pull throughs for the first time today. Seemed to do a lot for my lower back. Is that where it is supposed to effect? I'm going again tomorrow, but focus entirely on chest/abs. I gotta lose this flab.

I hit them gym this afternoon, which is rare. I'm normally one for the 6:30 am class.

today's Crossfit WOD was:
Clean
hang clean
split jerk

6 reps of each, then 5, 4...
200m run between each round

Started out with 115#, went down to 95# after the first round. Time was 17:10

I've been trying to supplement my workout with a little extra chest work, so I hopped on the bench for 4 sets to failure once I caught my breath.

Last night was BACK & LEGS. 3 exercises @ 3 sets increasing weights each time.

Lat pull downs wide grip
Lat pull downs close grip
Cable row close grip


Leg extentions
Something for hamstrings that I have no idea what it is called
Squats stopping at 225lbs

The Professor 08-21-2009 11:29 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 
Had a decent shoulder day today.

Cable upright rows to 3 x 8 @ 150
DB presses 10 @ 45, 7 @ 55, 5 @ 60, 4 @ 60, 6 @ 50
Front DB raises 3 x 8 @ 30
Machine rear delt (reversed peck deck) 3 x 6-8 @ 180 (this is puzzling me)
Machine side delt 3 x 8 @ 150ish (dang machine hurt the skin on my arms)

Farmer's walks 75lb DBs for 20yards x 4 (last set sucked)

Gains and PRs on the rear delts and side delts and farmer's walks. My shoulders can use a rest this weekend, though. :r

chest day:
flat bench
225lbsx5
225lbsx5
225lbsx5
275lbsx3
315lbsx3
325lbsx1
:fl then the beserker rage kicked in 355lbs x 3 :fl

incline dumbell press
100lbs x 6
105lbs x 6
110lbs x 4
:fl then the beserker rage kicked in 120lbs x 10 :fl

weighted dips
100lbs x 12 x 5

not bad for a a 160lbs guy... :rolleyes:

The Professor 08-24-2009 07:06 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 
nothing Gerry crazy today; but I did hit some PRs. chest/tri day.

db flat bench press: 50 x 10; 65 x 8; 75 x 5 (PR on reps); 75 x 4; 75 x 0 (failed out in front of the club trainer and a client). thought about going down to 70 ... but then Gerry's voice spoke to me. 80 x 3 or 4 (can't remember -- blur). either way, a PR on db flat bench. :D

hammer strength incline: 98 x 10, 148 x 6, 158 x 4 (PR), 148 x 5

hammer strength dips: 234 x 10, 278 x 5, 6, 5

HS decline press: 234 x 6, 6

Press downs: 150 x 10; 170 x 8; 200 x 4, 5, 4

Overhead cable rope extensions; 130 x 10, 150 x 3 (failed and laughed)

Not a bad day for a fatty ... that's what I tell myself, at least. It's nice to FINALLY start seeing some real gains in chest. Now I just need to find a lifting partner so I can get some REAL real gains.



Oh ... and on another note ... I'm outgrowing my clothes. :r Before I started lifting, I had a 15.5" neck. Less than a year ago, I got measured for a suit and was a 16/16.5" neck, 32/33" arms. Got measured for some shirts yesterday: 17.5" neck and 34/35" arms (because my shoulders are broader. I thought my old shirts were a little tight. LoL! I even tried a 17" x 32/33" shirt because I was in denial; but I couldn't cross my arms without it feeling like it was going to rip in the shoulders or choke me out. :r So it looks like I'm officially an XL now. Don't even know what my chest measurement is; but the jacket I bought last year (which was a bit big) is fitting nicely now. :rolleyes:

Starchild 08-24-2009 07:34 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 
Crossfit workout this morning was called Fight Gone Bad. We're ramping up for an event next month where several local gyms are coming up for this workout.

The workout is 5 stations, one minute each, as many reps as possible, three rounds, one minute rest between rounds. Score is your total reps/cal.

Sumo high lift dead pull 75# :su (upright row from ground)
20" box jump or step
push press #75
rowing machine (count calories burned on this one)
wall ball (20# ball, full squat with the ball in front rack, on the way up, throw and hit a 10' target)

We were supposed to go about 75%. My knee is bothering me, so I didn't go to any depth on the wall balls, and pretty much blew them off. I ended up with a 221 which is a PR. The other stations felt really strong.

I'll probably take the rest of the week off from any leg work to let my knee heal. I think what happened was that last Monday, we did squats, and I was working on form and depth. I'm extremely flexible, and I was taking it all the way down, and getting a little bounce at the bottom. For me, that is basically bouncing my a$$ off my heals. It felt great at the time, and my coach loved the form, but I think the muscles in my knees were not used to that much depth with weight. My knee just feels a bit unstable once I start working.

I even tried a 17" x 32/33" shirt because I was in denial; but I couldn't cross my arms without it feeling like it was going to rip in the shoulders or choke me out. :r So it looks like I'm officially an XL now. Don't even know what my chest measurement is; but the jacket I bought last year (which was a bit big) is fitting nicely now. :rolleyes:

:tu I'm sure that when I have an occasion to wear my suit, it will be a little snug around the shoulders.
