Hope you feel better. Have you tried foam rolling or using a ball? I use hyperice ball.

https://www.roguefitness.com/hyperic...4aAtKzEALw_wcB

I use it about 3-4x a week, post training. It provides deep muscle work and will help loosen up tight areas. I HIGHLY recommend you getting one.

Nice job, Huy. :tu

Already a little off the pace I wanted to set with this new program, but there was no sense trying to train with the needed intensity on 3 hours sleep. I'll just try and kick it up tomorrow.

Just finished early dinner with a side of plantains. No placenta.

Close grip lat pull downs
Seated cable rows
Shoulder press
Resistance band side raises
Dumbbell shrugs

Didn't think I was going to make it thru first set, damn cold sapped my energy. But pushed thru and did them all.

Mason is pretty sick so I won’t train tomorrow... I may go tonight... we’ll see.

Good job guys. Hope the weekend was filled with good food and laughs

icehog3 01-08-2018 12:09 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
I sure hope Mason is feeling better, Huy. Hopefully you have a video of him doing somersaults tomorrow. :)

Back at it tomorrow, thinking breasts and bis.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
I changed it up a bit. I caught myself trying to reach a number, instead of the goal of self betterment (such is the flaw of Cross-Fit, IMO!).

I rowed 5000m in perfect form - straight back, using my legs and extending with my back. It took me a very long time.
I completed 100 push-ups via 10 sets in perfect form, using variety of grips. It took me a very long time.
I completed 60 dips in perfect form, slow 5 second reps. It took me a very long time.
I completed 60 pull-ups in perfect form, and I had to use a rubber band assist. It took me a very long time.
Then I performed about 5 minutes worth of L-sit planks on those circular hanging things in the meanwhile. This took a very, very long time.

But I felt better about myself. And I think that's the real goal, when we are discussing fitness!

Adriftpanda 01-08-2018 08:13 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Sounds good ^

Off day, I probably could’ve gone but Mason is sick so I spent the day with him.

I realized I’ve been pressing every day the last 2 weeks...

Squats and deadys tomorrow with some other oly lifts

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Always good “seeing” my workout brothers.

Been battling various injuries of overuse over the past 6 months. Trying to train smarter but chasing the weights always gets the best of me :)
Last night hit some of my heaviest back squats in a while 405 for 3s and 425 for 2s. After that some girl at the gym called me skinny :r

icehog3 01-10-2018 03:00 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
If you weren't married, Son, you could show her just how "skinny" you are. ;)

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
I was going to post about how I was lacking motivation at the gym recently, causing me to half-ass HIIT. But then I took Mr. Hyde that I just got from Amazon. LOL

I switched it up a little bit today.
1000m row
20 push-ups in various positions
10 Australian pull-up wide
10 Australian pull-up shoulder
10 Australian pull-up close
20 planks side to side
20 plank climbers?
20 plank cross climbers?
5 second dip then 5 second L-sit, for 2 minutes
10 wide-grip pull-ups with band help
10 chin-ups with band help
10 head-bangers with band help

3x

I wish I could have done legs/cardio, but something is wrong with my left-knee.

icehog3 01-11-2018 12:57 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
If you like Mr. Hyde, try some Mesomorph, Mark. :eek:

Greg, hope the elbow doesn't linger.

Huy, way to knock it out.

Hit legs today after work, went heavy on the presses and hacks because I figured my endurance would be down, plus because I am an idiot....I have my first game after a couple weeks off the ice tonight. :hn :r

I want to feel like a crack addict, Tom. Do you remember the original Jack3d? I should have bought a truckload. Those original recipe ones are gold! Gold I tell ya! Truly HTF on ebay!

I do, Marc. I bought a few when they took it off the market, overpaid for a couple on eBay, but looked for new stuff when the prices went gaga.

You're probably too young to remember the original Ultimate Orange...loaded with pure ephedra. :r They brought it back last summer, but with the DMAA instead (obviously) of ephedra.

One of the Hemo Rage versions was pretty crazy too. Now I am flipping between old formula Dust Extreme, Mesomorph, Savage AF....and I just actually ordered some of the new Ultimate Orange, it has DMAA too. :lr

Mostly use Insane Veinz or Vasky for a pump agent.

Gold, Marc! Gold!! :noon

mk05 01-11-2018 10:47 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
I'll try Mesomorph...but no PWO tops 5 smokeshows doing butt exercises in front of you for an hour...low-key, maybe high-key. #majorkeyalert

bonjing 01-11-2018 11:53 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Ephedra is still legal in Canada.

Not worth it, Greg, does a serious number on the heart. I was luckily they banned it, I had already created some problems back then unknowingly....

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II

Not going to lie, I loved that stuff. Not sure if it did anything to me as far as long term effects though.

icehog3 01-14-2018 08:34 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
I loved it too, Greg, but I'd probably be dead now if they hadn't uncovered the truth and banned it.

Back/Shoulders/Tris yesterday. Prefatigued the back with cable work to try and keep my lower back untweaked for hockey last night.

Back - 12 working sets

Wide pulldowns x 5
Cable Rows x 3
T-bar rows x 4

Shoulders - 9 working sets

Military press x 5
Rear delt flyes x 4

Triceps - 8 working sets

Skullcrushers x 3
French press x 3
Pushdowns x 2

Couple weeks in to this high frequency program and I feel good, even with hockey starting back up earlier this week. Think I should be able to go at least 6 weeks...hoping, anyway.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Don’t be a pousee. I actually need to get more rest. On average I get 4.5-5 a night, thinking I’ll aim for 5.5 tonight

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II

While Huy argues with Marc about sleep, Bob is in the gym crushing it.

Back, shoulders and tris on deck for tomorrow. Unless I get less than 4.5 hours sleep. ;)

bonjing 01-16-2018 11:39 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 
Didn't do too much tonight. 90 min on the elliptical.

Did a lot of stretching tonight. Shoulder still bugging me even just the bar alone on a press motion. Elbow feels better, back a bit better and now the knees were feeling left out so they decided to join the pain group :r.

Hey! I actually was able to get 5.5 hours as planned.

Going to flip a coin for today. Legs or press...

Do you guys take a week off from time to time? I read that some people do it? I generally work out 5 days a week and take weekends off.
