Merry Christmas, Greg and all! :)

Off today, so I will do a Christmas morning lift in a few hours.

Tried a new location, now that my keyfob works for any gym in the chain.

Just wasn't feeling it today. Probably not best idea to work my back with my neck still bothering me.

Assisted pull ups, 4x7-8
Close grip cable pull downs, 4x10
One arm dumbbell rows, 4x12-15
Close grip rows, 4x10
Dumbbell hammer curls, 4x12-15

Oh, yeah! :dr

International Chest Christmas today, went heavy on incline bench, heaviest I've gone in months. Vertical bench for reps, heavy flyes and declines for reps to polish it off.

Had a traditional turkey dinner, and loaded up on both the bird and all the carb-rich sides. Gonna try to keep up with Huy tomorrow. ;)

I need to do some heavy circuit training tomorrow. I really like the circuit...hides the cardio...and I HATE cardio.

icehog3 12-25-2017 08:32 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Maybe cardio looking for you, Marc Kim. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
My body has been itching since around 9am. I get like this when I don't do anything active for a couple days. It'll be pretty interesting later. I'm thinking:
light squat warmup with body-weight dips
heavy rack-pulls (my back issues...no deadlifts for me anymore)

then 3x of (my Fran):
1000m row
40 thrusters
40 pull-ups

icehog3 12-26-2017 01:35 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Tear it up, Marc. :tu

Back today, decided to do the chest supported T-bar rows to see if I can't completely heal my tweaked lower back.

Supported T-bar rows 180, 205, 225, 250, 270, 225
Barbell rows 205, 235, 265, 235, 215
Cable rows 220, 240, 260
Pec Dec rear delts 130, 130, 145, 115
Pullups x 3 sets

Lower back started to tighten up a little on the cable rows, so cut the rowing off after that.

mk05 12-26-2017 06:12 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Well, it happened.
5m jog
5 x 12-8 sets of light squats to warm up, 65, 95, 135, 155, 175
5 x 8-5 sets rack-pulls of 135, 155, 175, 175, 175 (I got very nervous with my back)

Circuit
1000m row
20 thruster
20 pull-up
2x...then I felt my groin burn, which happens when I do explosive movements or jump, from time to time...I think one of you said it was a recurring sports hernia? Well, I stretched a lot, took a rest and finished at 60 total thrusters, but ended up doing 100 pull-ups and 60 push-ups to make up for the 40 missing thrusters.

I feel pretty tired, so that's a plus.

bonjing 12-27-2017 12:13 AM

icehog3 12-27-2017 08:59 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Good work, Men! :tu

Marc, my experience with sports hernias is that the pain (not burning for me, just intense pain) is in the abdominal area and not the groin. That doesn't mean it couldn't be a sports hernia, but possibly just a regular hernia or even just a strain?

Chainsaw13 12-27-2017 04:29 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Gave the neck another day off. 40 mins on the treadmill, ~35 of it at a 7mph pace.

I trained my belly today. Lot of Tequila and steak tips. I would say, 75% max load. Will need to foam roll tomorrow 4 sho.

icehog3 12-29-2017 12:03 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Off day today, tequila and tips sounds pretty good right now.

Going to try a increased frequency program for maybe 6 weeks, if my body recovers the way I hope it will. Read a couple different takes on it; basically train less sets on body parts per workout (assuming you can train with more intensity doing less sets), but training each body part more frequently (2 times a week each, rather than my usual 4 on - 1 off schedule). Gotta keep fresh mentally as well as physically. I had some good success on the DoggCrap training ( http://muscleandbrawn.com/a-concise-...rapp-training/ ) for about 10 weeks before my body finally said "enough". This routine is actually a little more my speed at this point, at least that's what I'm thinking.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
I've been hitting the weights fairly regularly for a month now after a long time of being lazy.....just tired of being out of shape and fat. Today I did squats, deadlifts, dumbbell press, and curls after 30 minutes on the treadmill. My first big goal is being able to squat, press, and deadlift my body weight (245). I managed 255 at the deadlift today, so one down. I'm getting close on squats and bench is sadly way off lol.

icehog3 12-30-2017 10:40 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adiftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Leg day straight ahead.

Sounds like you're well on your way, Ray, though pressing 245 lb dumbbells might qualify you for the Olympics or something. :D

I think 245 with a bar will suffice :D
