Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Wasnt planning on going but hit shoulders and triceps. Not too heavy but kept it heavy enough at 6 reps.

Didn't want to trigger anything so only pressing movement was seated db press

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Hey there! Long time no post here.

I was prepping for a PL meet and rly aggravated some nerves in my back and my SI about 2 months back.
Got some nerve blocks in my spine and leg last week and they've helped me some already. Probably in for another round of injections before I officially start my "rehab".

Just been doing some rly light upper body stuff since I injured it.

Looks like you guys are still moving weight in here! Nice to see! :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Good to "see" you, Charlie! Hope your recovery is quick and complete. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Glad to see you in here Charlie. Heal up brotha.

Lower back is still stiff so I took benching lightly today..

So much pump. Taking around 75-100g of Karboyln during my workout, giving me that fullness throughout my body, awesome feeling.

Bench 4x3 @225 felt like a breeze but didn't want to push it.
Some other chest work.
Finished off w/ biceps. Did 21s win flat bar but modified it to 3x10 for 4 sets. 120 reps, dead.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Nice day, Huy. :tu

I did chest too, varied some stuff and pre-fatigued with vertical (plate loaded) bench. Still went heavy on inclines and flats, and finished with some flyes and extreme stretching.

Back comin' right up....

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Good back day.

Supersetted T-bar and bentover rows, then supersetted wide grip pulldowns with V-grip cable rows. That was all she wrote, some stretching and then hit the road.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Good stuff guys!

Hitting the Doc's after work for another round :)

Last night did a lot of back volume. 10x10 style w/ 30sec rest between sets. Since I can't use my lower body I figured I'd try to stop being so fat LOL

Tonight will be chest volume. More 10x10.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Good work, and good luck at the doc, Charlie!

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Decent shoulder day yesterday, not quite pain free but close enough. Presses, shrugs, rear delts and finished with some tris.

Wheels today, with some bis tossed in at the end.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Nice! Arm day, everyday.

Had a nice couple days off and enjoyed Vegas with he family.

Good back action tonight.

Lots of pull ups and a few rowing movement. Didn't want to trigger anything, so still keeping it semi light. Almost there. Of course I finished it off with some biceps.

After my first week of this lean bulk. Up 1lb, just as planned but I tweaked my fats and carbs. Going from 101g fat to 80g but increasing my carbs by almost 100g. So my new numbers. 226P - 499C - 81F

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

499 grams of carbs? In a week, right? :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Haha nope. A day.

Taking about 75g of dextrose intra and post training. So that gives me 150. I'll have a post training meal with about another 75-100g so after that, im half way home!

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Very good chest day. Everything felt relatively easy.

Working sets at 225 and worked off that.

Pause bench
Bench
Incline hammer
Dips

Finish off with triceps.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I had a great chest day yesterday as well, heavy on the flat bench, inclines and declines.

Back day today, row, row, row your lats, gently.....not. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Switched it up on back, both out of boredom and for the shock value.

Super heavy on wide grip pulldowns using straps (which I don't often do).
Straight to bent over rows at 225 for sets of 15-20 (and one set at 275)
Heavy on cable rows with the straps again.
T-bar rows at 225 for reps, and one set at 250.
Stretching and dead hangs from various angles.

Gassed, back stayed pumped all day.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Hit legs yesterday. Didn't want to squat but decided to test out my back... went so so. But now, it may have aggreivated something again. All good.

Went fairly light. Just working sets of 225.

Squats
Leg presses- db lunges
Seated curls.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Legs yesterday....extensions, curls, walking lunges. Ugh.

Shoulders and arms today.

Hope the back is better, Huy.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Thanks bruddah... it's feeling okay right now.

Press day. Loving my high carb week. The weights just feel that much easier.

Bench
Ohp
And then super set shoulders/chest.

Probably not the best idea, but going to hit some light deads tomorrow.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Good day with back today. Didn't feel too restricted.

Lat pull downs
Lots and lots of pull ups. Maybe 200 reps?
Bent over row
Deads - didn't go heavy. Around 60% 4x8

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Good work, Huy. Glad the deads went ok.

Off yesterday, chest coming up shortly.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

In the words of Kanye, I hit the gym, all chest no legs.

My first year or training, I really avoided doing legs as much as possible lol

Legs today. Went light still, easing my way back.

Front squats @225 4x5
Hack squats 4x12
Extensions 5-6x10
Lying curls 8x10+

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Good deal, Huy.

Back today, legs tomorrow. Always tomorrow. ;) :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I'm sure you will see my rant about the gym on FB, Huy, so I won't repeat it here.

Hit the bent overs heavy, then used the new (sh!tty) T-bar. Needed to drop down to 235 for sets on those. Finished with some heavy cable rows. Back trashed, just like my mood. :mad:

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Haha, yeah I saw... just like you saw my comment.

Chest/shoulders today. Just went 75% on bench, kept everything fairly easy.

Good dat

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

ICD on a Monday. Somehow, there were benches available. :r

Had my strongest chest workout in over 7 months since the crash. Nice to be getting close to where I was at before bashing my skull in.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Back day today. Have a hockey game tonight, so I decided to go short and heavy.

Bent over rows 225, 275, 295, 315, 275, 225, 195
Pullups (bodyweight) 6 sets to failure
Barbell row drop/rep set 225/195

Nice! Back is back to normal, knock on wood.

Had some good session.

Back today as well.

Pause deadlifts
Seated row
Pendlay rows
Pull ups

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Very nice, Huy!

Shoulders yesterday, not a lot of gas after a late hockey game and a sh!tty nights sleep.

Legs and arms today, just light legs as I have another game tonight.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Shoulders today, probably one of the best shoulder day in a while. Everything was on point.

Single Arnold presses
Ohp
Db side delts- kb upright row

Some arms.

Legs again tomorrow and then off for a couple days.

Sorry bout your Hawks, Tom. I was rooting for your team. Even with all my ahole trolling comments. But of course, I'll gladly enjoy my 5er.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Thanks, Huy. I know I gave my best effort! :lr

Good day yesterday, light on legs and heavy on arms. Off day today, time to feed.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Legs yesterday... good thing I brought socks.

Wore my flip flops to the gym bc I usually leave my squat shoes in the car. Nope wasn't there.

Just hit squats and bb lunges since I didn't want to walk around the gym in my socks.

Front squats and lots of it.
Lunges and lots of it.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Too many lunges, not enough shoes. :r

Heading in for ICS shortly.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

IBD here.

Lots of pull ups.

Pull downs
Chest supported rows
Back to pull ups

Some arms

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Switched it up on chest yesterday, just put 275 on the bench and repped out. Then some inclines, had to drop the weight because the benching gassed me. Finished up with some declines, machine flyes and bodyweight dips for reps.

Back today, think I will start with pullups, maybe superset then with another exercise.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Truly ICD

Hit incline db to start, haven't done that in a while.

Incline db
Flat pause bench
Hammer Strengthh press
Dips

Some arms. That's it! Focus was good. Need to find a new solid pwo

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Back on Sunday, hit 8 sets of pullups (16 reps down to 9). Heavy wide pulldowns and cable rows after.

Yesterday was supposed to be leg day, but with 3 (short benched) hockey games in 3 nights, wasn't happening. Did heavy shoulders and arms instead.

Off today, 3rd game tonight. Tomorrow will be an all-body workout, then 4 days off for a little herfing action. You'll have to hit it for me, Huy. ;)

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Legs were still gassed as we had a short bench for the 3rd night in a row. I modified things and just supersetted chest and back for my last workout, with a couple sets of bi's thrown in at the end.

Bench press - Bent over rows
Incline bench - T-bar rows
Machine flyes - Rear delts
Pullups and dead hangs

Out of the gym 'til Monday. Huy, keep up the pace for me. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Hope it went well. Have fun in Dallas. I'll miss you guys for sure.

Legs yesterday. Different gym, new toys to play with.

Not sure if I'll go tonight. Leaving for NorCal tomorrow am - Wed.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

April carbs bring May gains? :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

After 5 days off the gym, had my strongest chest day in a year yesterday. Went heavy on flats, reps on inclines, heavy on declines and heavy on flyes. Chest is still sore.

Back day today, went with the pullup first routine again for 8 sets. Heavy pulldowns, heavy cable rows, and then a few sets of barbell rows (225, 265, 295, 225) to finish. Some stretching to finish. Back already getting sore while chest is still there. I gotta take time off more often, that's my first long break since the crash.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Shoulder day. Not as epic as the last two days, but a solid B+. Heavy presses, rear delts, and lighter shrugs for reps.

Huy, where you at? :confused:

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Here!

Been on a short vacation up north to visit family and wedding. Still was able to train, just limited on time and time to post.

Been back a few days. Had a couple nice days since being back.

Chest today.

Flat bench - worked up to 235 for working set. 5x4
Cable flies - 10x20, yes 10 sets of 20

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Wheels yesterday, shoulders today. I love shoulder day. :hn :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Legs today. Snot running down my nose as I squat is not fun. Think I sweated out 5lb.

Actually a good day of training but my strength was just down.

Squats - a lot
Leg press 5x
Lying leg curls 5x

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II

Back day yesterday. Took the weights down about 25-30% and just reped everything, nice and slow.

Rows on rows

Seated v grip row
T bar row
Pendlay rows

Finished up with weighted pull-ups

Hope you're feeling better.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Was better, then worse. Friday was a day off, today I had to take off sick. Tomorrow is still up in the air. Keep it going for me, Huy. :tu
