For me ... the biggest, dry aged filet mignon I can get ahold of, cooled medium-rare, baked macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes and butter. Finished off with a chocolate torte. Fill me up with all that goodness and I think I'm ready to meet my maker lol

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

im simple. Pizza, good Mexican food and ice cream.

God, we sound like pregnant women.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Chicken enchiladas with mole sauce, crawfish etoufee on dirty rice, blackened catfish, king crab legs and a porterhouse steak, medium. Sweet corn on the cob, sweet potatoes, crisp green beans. Haggen Daz Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream and a couple of Moe's canolis. Just need to get the beverage list in order. Hope to die of a burst stomach before they give me the lethal injection.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Im with Huy.. Give me a Pizza and ill take it to the face. And then give me another.. lol

Perhaps an Ol Fashioned Grandma Pie with fresh garlic and basil. Crunchy bottom and a few dollops of mozzarella.

Sometimes I also just crave a bacon cheeseburger with some nice crispy fries..

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

In an attempt to be smart and not aggravate any of my lingering injuries, i took a scheduled day off from lifting ... and i'm hating it. :/

Did some long, slow distance cardio with the wife and i'm gonna take the dog for a walk in a little bit. But man do i hate days when I don't lift. lol

Had Mexican for dinner though ... twas delicious! :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

I am going back tomorrow....this time for reals! :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

So I woke up Monday and I couldn't move.. turns out

Partially Torn Right Rotator Cuff.. FML..

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Ouch! Speedy recovery brotha.

I'm on the IR for w couple days myself. Back felt a little tight so I decided to stretch it, ended up tweaking it. I could move and Staci had to help me up. Feeling better today but just going to take a couple days off.

Had a good back session though. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Dang, Ron, that sucks. Heal up quickly man!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Ironic, I head back when a couple of you are on the IR.

Take good care of that, Ron. I haven't had a working left rotator cuff for years, but I don't recommend it one bit.

Hope you're back at it soon too, Huy.

I'm headed in, planning on chest, but it's wide open if I feel like something different when I get there.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

thanks guys.. I appreciate it..

im heading to the specialist on Friday to get a timetable and a plan on how to handle it..

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Probably a crapload of "rubber band" therapy, enough to make guys like us nuts. Hoping it's a minor tear, Ron.

Chest day today, prefatigued on the Leverage vertical bench so I had to go significantly lighter on my subsequent lifts. Probably a good idea after 5 days off anyway. :r

Incline bench 195, 215, 235, 255

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Sh!t, hope you're OK, Charlie.

Back day tomorrow, row, row, row yer lats. :ze

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

is it bad that I want to work out today? lol.. I did 40 mins of stairstepper yesterday with my arm ducttaped to my midsection.. not kidding lol

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

I'd think it was strange if you didn't want to, Ron. It's our way of life. ;)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

lol agree with Tom ... we'd think that there was something wrong with you if you didn't wanna work out :)

My face hurts ... did some arms today anyway :)

One of my hockey teams plays for the league championship tomorrow, but still gonna do some bis and traps in the morning before the game.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Got to train today. Suppose to do legs but maybe tomorrow, I want to be able to run up and down the court tomorrow for my game.

Hit chest and arms.

Flat DB flies
Incline bb
Incline smith machine (used this more as a stretch)
Hammer strength incline - fly machine

Gym was kind of empty so I curled in the squat rack :)

Bb curls - cable push downs - did like 10 sets, felt that was enough.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Biceps and traps today, heavy on bis and reps on the shrugs.

My hockey team won their 5th league championship in 6 years tonight, lots on Black and Tans after, along with burgers, nachos, crap. We'll see about the gym in the morning. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Nachos! Not sure about crap though, that doesn't sound good. Nachos on the other hand, that sounds good right now, I'll settle on some cheeze it's... :(

Good news from the doctor.. He said I have a very minor tear; and also a large Calcific Deposit. Gotta find out how to get rid of that. The pain is pretty much gone so far.

not much to report here as far as workouts, other then I did biceps yesterday to make sure I remembered what a dumbbell was.. lol

Chest today.. Prolly stay moderate for weight.. but I need to be back already.. enough of the horseshit.. lol

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Glad it was good news, Ron. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

guess i will jump in here since I became a "resolutionary" this year.

today consisted of 2.8 miles on the elliptical and then it was chest day.

been going 6 days a week since the beginning of January and have lost 15 lbs so far. woo hoo.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

thanks bud!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

good to hear bud.. nothing wrong with being a resolutionary.. only with being a resolutionary every January.. just stick with it and it becomes a positive lifestyle!

if you need any help, don't be afraid to ask! its normally a bumpy road but theres always a path to your goal destination!:banger

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Nice job so far, Rob! :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Good news, Ron.

Keep up the work and grind, Rob. Stick with it.

Doing some intermittent fast this week. I haven't done this in a while; from time to time, I do this.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Crazy day. Was supposed to be back day. Back felt tweaked before the ride to the gym, and worse when I got out at the gym. Decided on the way in I would do shoulders today and back tomorrow when it would hopefully be un-kinked.

Got inside and that Hispanic chick who like to do some kind of two inch of motion exercise from her knees in the rack for 90 minutes was in the rack doing them. I was already short on time. Saw 3 plates on the T-bar setup and said "it's a sign"..

Was strong on back, and untweaked by back as well. Crazy.

T-bar rows 205, 225, 250, 270, 295, 270
Barbell rows 205, 235, 265, 285, 235, 205
Pullups 13, 13, 12

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Good day, Huy. :tu

Shoulder day for me manana. Where's my Advil? :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

mannnn did I feel weak after 6 days off of lifting!

I reluctantly started with incline dumbbell press, and I stopped at 100's, and they felt like 2000's. lol. 2 warmups sets and 4 working sets..

did some flat bench twist flys and supersetted them with champagnes

then did a bunch of isolateral cable flies because I felt like a sissy at that rate..

100 diamond pushups and then 20 mins of cardio and then collapse..

I guess ill take it for day one back!

cheers fellahs!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Still lotsa work, Ron, WTG! :tu

I will be taking 6 days off next week for a trip, gonna try to hit it hard 'til then.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
