Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Thanks Bao! I am pumped...figuratively for now, hopefully for real next week. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

it sucks to be away from the gym or sports...so I totally know how you feel.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I don't think I had gone a month without doing one or the other in 20+ years, Bao....feel like a lump of crap right now, but that will change soon. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

You're an animal. :ze

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Great news Tom! Now you just have to remember that you're not quite as strong as you were, although your CNS will still think you are. Prepare to be sore, like you've not been sore in a long-a$$ time. :ze :ss

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I look forward to that soreness, Pete....I will feel alive again. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

:wo :wo

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Glad to hear you are on your way back Tom. Tonight was my first back to the gym but not back to the gym night. 30minutes on the treadmill and stretching / foam rolling.
Nothing special.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Thanks Frank.:)

How soon until you hit it hard again?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Let's see where this goes...

Thoughts on the "juice"? I have a couple friends who cycle regularly, but would like some other opinions.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Unless you are going to make serious money with that muscle or athletic ability, a truly stupid move. :2

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

If you are going to take a chance with your health it better be worth while. IMO the risks outweigh the costs.

P.S Glad to hear you can hit the weights again Pops :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Personally, I don't think it would ever be worth it. The benefits of lifting and exercise in general are plenty of their own reward.

Back/shoulders for me today. Hang cleans, press, lat pulldowns and low row. Felt good at the gym this morning, but now I'm just exhausted. Think I'll go to bed early tonight.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Almost started doing squats with the wrong weight on each side :bh Wanted to have 365 on the bar, but had 3 45's and a 35 on the one side. I lifted the weight and something just didn't seem right. Racked it and thanked god that I didn't try squatting that! Got up to 425 for 3 reps. Leg pressed 720 2x3 810 2x3 900 2x3. I've said it before and I'll say it again; I wish my upper body grew like my lower body!


P.S sorry Dokk for all the leg talk. You'll get back there :tu you too Pops!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Next week I will start lifting again. It will be slow at first keying on problems that arose during the meet. Also trying to get back into the 242 class. Started cleaning up the diet. No sodas, eating out will be 1~2 a week tops. Next week will start doing both high and low intensity cardio.

I don't really care much about it either way. I personally do not use do to personal reason at this point in time. Many of my friends do also. If they came to the point where they wanted to use that's their call not mine. I'm not one to pass judgment.
Rent / Download the movie Bigger,Faster,Stronger. Good movie with many different perspectives on AAS use.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I am thinking maybe Thursday Son! :wo

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Had a pretty intense upper body workout this morning. Really jittery ... both from the workout and an accidental overdose of thermogenics: 3 scoops jack3d and 3 pills of Jet Fuel. Oops. :pu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Seriously, Admiral. I'm STILL shaking. :r Had my protein an hour ago and my lunch is coming shortly....

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Guy at worked mentioned jack3d to me. Looks like I might have to pick some up.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I like it, Frank. 2 scoops on a lighter day, 3 scoops on a busy day, 4 scoops for insano. :r It's got creatine in it, though; so that's something to consider. My body happens to respond relatively well to creatine, so that works for me.

For what it's worth, I like the fruit punch flavor better than the lemonade.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

3 exercises on biceps (3 sets 10-12 reps) and 3 exercises on shoulders (3 sets 10-12 reps)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Recently Started back to the Gym 3 weeks ago took idk about 8 to 9 Mos off. Went from weighing 194 back down to 176. Not to bad. If anyone is trying to cut Fat off send me a PM and we can talk legal Supplements. Right now im Taking Tight Xtream! T3 and Shreaded all by Sann. Very good, you can eat whatever you want and still drop weight. Looking to get back to 165 putting 275 back up.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Holy Crap! I got some jack3d recently and I've never gone over 2 scoops :r I'm about to try the fruit punch but I really like the lemon lime flavor. So I'm doubting either flavor is bad.

Is it bad that I just started craving some jack3d? Talking about it makes me want some! Most likely no gym for me today. Busy day ahead of car shopping :( It's ok though. Kinda tough to get to the gym without a car.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

maybe run ? :D

chest and back last night...today is triceps and abs...going to throw some legs workouts in but very light to no weights. :(

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Did my first workout back yesterday before work. Not exactly "light", but certainly not as much as I could have probably handled if I didn't decide to play it safe. Did incline bench, flat bench, dips, seated militarys, seated behind the neck press and some tri work. Sore today, but not as bad as I expected to be, or would have been if I went balls out.

Taking today off, and then back tomorrow for back and bis. Legs is still a couple weeks away, until I am absolutely sure the incision won't break open anywhere.

It's good to be back. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Take your time the first few weeks back Tom. Load up on the food after a long lay off your body is going to respond to anything extremely well for a short period of time. Take advantage of this window...

Glad to hear ya back in the swing of things. Monday is back to the grind for myself also. Diet so far has been a joke. Need to get serious.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Thanks Frank, for the advice and the encouragement...I am psyched to be back. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Welcome back Admiral! I've been slacking this week ;s Guests in town this weekend, so might hit spin tomorrow, but guessing it won't happen. Back to the grind next week.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Thanks Pete. :) Glad to be back with by BOTL BOTIs.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

BOTL BOTI nice!!! Welcome back Sir! :ze

Thanks Bao! :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Gym is about 5 miles away. So 10 miles of running there and back. No thanks :r

Good lifting Pops!! Glad you are getting back under the bar :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Thanks Son, sure is good to feel the iron again.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Fun!! :ze

light leg work out then Biceps and Shoulders grrrrr.:tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Hello All,

Thought I'd check into the thread finally. Dug out the iron this evening and started into my upper body workout once again, which is:

standing bicep curls 4 sets 15 reps
standing french curls 4 sets 15 reps
standing upright row 4 sets 15 reps
squats 4 sets 15 reps

Not with the heaviest of weights mind you. I'm using 30+ lbs for all exercises. Following the above workout with a nice brisk 30min walk. Hopefully will be dropping body fat along the way as well. Have a couple of supplements backing up the vitamin regimine and nothing but smooth sailing ahead:banger

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Good for you Mark :tu

I finally figured out the secret of the lifting straps :wo

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

:ze


:tt what is it?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Chest and arms this morning, doing a little volume work. Bench, pushups, 21s and dips. Spin tomorrow.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

21s?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Bicep exercise, three sets of curls done in succession, 7 reps each, doing bottom half, top half, then full curl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqu_rEnfbPU

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Soon as I get back, I get an Upper Respiratory Infection. I can't win. :(

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

;s Maybe your body is telling you that you really need an extended rest?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

:tu
:td

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Nah, just that stupid pre-summer cold that I get maybe 2 out of every 3 Mays. I should be back in the gym tomorrow, and hopefully on the ice Thursday, Pete. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Chest (flat bench, DB flat bench, used the seat on the dip machine to push down)
Back (Cable pull above my head, from below my waist, and seated rows.)

Hope you feel better Tom.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I was putting the straps over the bar. I tried going underneath the bar and viola! easy lifting.
