Hoping my health improves enough this week to get back into the gym. Kinda missing it.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Fingers crossed, Bob! :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

How can months of progress dissipate in 1 week without catastrophic injury, Marc? :confused:

Yesterday was the worst Sunday I've ever seen in the gym, Greg, luckily I didn't need any benches or racks for most of my workout so it wasn't a huge deal for me.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II

Good day for you too, Brother. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I have a small tear my left Vastus Lateralis doing reverse lunges. I doesn't hurt now, but was advised to be cautious on leg exercises for 4 weeks. "Let your body decide if it hurts and stop" was my advice from the Chiropractor. He stripped away lot of tissue damage that helped big time. He wants me to keep doing weights and cardio with legs to force blood into the area, but not put strain onto that area. Also had some adhesion in my ITBand...

Headed to the gym in 20 minutes...

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Hope it heals up soon! Yup, if something doesn’t feel right when training, stop.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Hope you heal up quick!

Gym closed due to basketball game.

Ran, shuffled (whatever:r) the lake again last night, not bad 1hr06 and some change so an 1hr7min better lighting, no clouds and the moon was nice and bright. Got a blood blister on my toe. Figured my time would be much worse than before because my feet were really dragging this time.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Skimped on cardio this morning because I was a bit rushed to get home after work. I did squats, dumbbell press, seated curls, and bent over dumbbell reverse fly. I was able to up my squats a bit more to 245 for 2 sets of 8 after a set at 225, so hopefully 300 will be doable soon.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Nice jobs, Greg and Ray! :tu

Reverse lunges?? You're tempting the injury gods....mocking them even, Moses. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Ran out of BioHazard coffee. Tried to use LaVazza espresso and it did nothing. I'm screwed for life.

Pretty much just crawled around the gym like a slug...40mg caffeine per normal cup of coffee...I need my 928mg of caffeine per serving, dammit!!! Ordered Biohazard again on express. LOL


Send help

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

928mg, that sounds like a biohazard.

Greg, lots of tasty morsels on the SB team?

Good job by you and Huy....Marc says he's a slug.

Did my first nighttime workout in years tonight, shoulders and tris. Knew I couldn't train this morning or tomorrow morning, so I bit the bullet. The place was a freaking zoo, and not a hot chick to be seen. :hn

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

928mg of caffeine per serving? You’re joking right? I’d be dead

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

no jokes, only caffeine

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I need to find this coffee, I'll keep a tin of grounds in my pocket in case I ever start having a heart attack. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Amazon has them. Reviews weren’t so positive though. There’s another coffee with a trillion mg of caffeine which had far better reviews, which I might try. Death Wish.

Everything feeling good, Greg?

Huy, you've inspired me for tomorrow.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

No, I'm going to end up hurting more than my ego with all the athletes in the gym :r. Nothing a little Ranger candy can't fix, I hope :D. Just pushing through all the little tweaks in the body. Lacking on legs and chest lately because all the cages are being used.

How about you, you're pretty broken too ;s

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I'm not bad, all things considered. Neck and shoulder will never be "good", but as long as they're tolerable and I can lift, play hockey and ****, I'm good. :D

Off to do legs, see you all soon.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I have tried all of the "super coffees," and found Biohazard to be the best for me. Death Wish is inconsistent, beans can be dry, and the coffee isn't very strong either. I am no longer into recommending anything to anyone since apparently that makes you a know-it-all snob, so I recommend that you try it all and figure it out on your own. :D

Going to try this today.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I'm going to smoke a Cohiba Robusto this weekend, POU SEP 12. I will try it on my own, but do you think I'll be happy? :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Only at 85% RH

Nice Bob! Next time, try doing farmers carry using the plates. Pinch the plate with your finger and carry away.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

****! That'll work em good.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I was going to do Huy's workout, but then I remembered that I don't like him.

So instead, I did 10 sets of 10 power cleans at 95lb. Very tired now, excellent.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Yup. Do this almost every day, unintentionally though. From the squat racks to the plate racks, it’s a good 10-20 feet.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I see what you did there

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I was using dumbbells, going back/forth 3x across the gym. They figured out 3x is 75m, the same distance as they do in the strong man competitions. Last round my trainer said to go out/back and then over to the rack. Almost made it. :D

Almost up with my three month stint with the trainer. Thinking I'm going to sign up for another 3. I've got a good basis, but there's little things i'm learning from him every time, mostly with form.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
