Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
I think Gerry's bad squat day cursed mine. Had a good warmup and first set at 225. On one of the last reps, though, I must have moved laterally or something. My right hip was definitely tweaked. Tried to walk and stretch it off. Tried working it out at a lower weight. It just wasn't having it. Stiff leg deads were better; though I just felt like I was lacking the strength and was only able to do 4 sets of 225 (275 was a no-go).
The only good thing about the day was that I was somehow able to hit a PR on leg press. 8 pies seemed like a struggle. 10 pies was actually a little easier. 12 pies was manageable. 12 pies + a 25 on each side wasn't horrible. So I loaded up 14 pies and hit it for 5 ... screaming like a mofo on the last rep. It felt good. :r Right hip still bothering me a little when I walk, though. Think I just need to rest it a bit -- no elliptical or anything like that. |

No gym last night...I was suppose to do a 5 mile run but right when I stepped outta the car I lost my foot in a freakin puddle. so running with wet socks was not an option. I should have just worked out but I doubt I woulda made it through the small river flowing infront of the gym....stupid new england weather! :fl
Gonna see what I can get in today.. |
Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3

Today is cardio day, but I'll be doing pull-ups to failure. Tomorrow is shoulder and legs day. Come sweet weekend, come and save my sore body from more torment.

Legs + Calves today :tu Threw a big plate on for squats...I like it! :ze ( I won't say how many cuz you'll laugh.) |
Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Well...
19:00 on my two mile run, and only did 4 pull ups. Gotta get better than that. Oh and right now 185, my end goal is 175 by April. Oh and to have a cross-training application done by then. |

I think I tweaked something in my neck last night when doing squats. I'm pretty sure I did not just sleep in an awkward position. |

Why would you have hurt your neck? Was your form off? did you have the bar too high??? |

I'm not sure exactly where the bar is suppose to be located on my shoulders when I squat but I feel comfortable with it below the traps sitting right on the shoulders. |

Wonder if your core wasn't tight enough and you bent forward too far (causing the bar to roll up toward your neck)? Or maybe you just did too much? For the record, the bar almost always weighs 45lbs. |

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Anyone here do front squats? I have been getting into them, but I've been noticing my wrists start to kill once I get up into the heavier weights. Any ideas on how to fix this or what I might be doing wrong?

I have also seen people use wrist straps, and place them around the bar and hold on to them like handles. I tried this once and failed miserably. Quote:
When you get under that bar, think about wearing a baseball cap backwards and have the bill of the cap touch your upper back. Keeping your head up. Second, when you come out of the bottom think about leading with your chest. check the video out for a few free tips http://www.flexcart.com/members/elit...4&m=PD&pid=981 |
