Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Haven't been updating but still hitting the gym. Been goofing off after work just sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee then hit the gym late, so cardio has been down.
Tuesday was all back
Wednesday all bicep
Friday triceps.

Ever been in the gym all by yourself? Look around, no one, got your headphones on, lay back for some bench work, you're kind of gassy so you let'em rip. Get up and all of a sudden there's people in gym with you.

Lucky they had their earphones in too. Just said sorry, but I don't think they heard me or hopefully anything else.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Even worse, Greg, I've had a couple award winners while doing heavy leg presses over the years with girls on the station next to me. What can you do? Shrug, laugh, leave. :r

Shoulders and arms today, mostly heavy but kept the reps pretty respectable anyway.

Seated military x 7 sets
Olympic bar curls x 4 sets
Cambered bar curls x 3 sets
Skullcrushers x 4 sets
Tricep extensions x 3 sets

Legs tomorrow, I can already feel the hammie singing. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Felt like I needed to do something.

5k on the treadmill at a 4.6mph walk pace.
Bi/tri work.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Good work fellas, keep it up.

Gonna need lots of that cardio thingy for the upcoming work week...

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Hammie still slightly tweaked so I just did quads. Not sure how wise that was. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I hear ya Tom. Decided to try some leg exercises. Hamstring curls went ok. Leg press not so much. Feeling in the back.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Hope the back feels better soon, Bob. The little nagging injuries can be so frustrating.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Thanks and the same to you. I'm taking some workout clothes with me to Brazil (work trip). No idea what facilities they have, so I may get an extended break.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

How long is the trip?

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

2.5 weeks

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I would imagine they'd have to have something at the place you're staying?

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Hit up the fitness center in the hotel. Decent equipment, but a bit cramped for space. I seemed to walk in to the middle of a large group of regulars (the gym is in the hotel, but a wholly owned business) working with the trainer.

5.5K in 35mins on the treadmill. Walked/ran about half each.
Incline Press
Bench Press
Bicep drop sets.

Wanted to do more but the equipment I wanted was being used. At least it's something.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Glad they have a gym, Bob...hopefully you can work around the locals going forward. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Then he says to me, "Give me a situp". I said, "Oh, Nay Nay!" I don't do "Ups" I told him that when I signed up. I don't do "Ups". I do "Downs". Sit down, lay down, Black-Jack I'll double-down... Give me a cheeseburger I'll wolf it down. Put on a little music, I'll boogie down. But I don't do "Ups"! Ups defy gravity... Gravity is a law. - John Pinette

Don’t platz talk me.

Last two days have been great. Hypertrophy day for legs yesterday and uppers today. Super set push press.

They opened up a joint called kebab shop, next to my gym. 4x this week

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

They just opened a place next to my gym too, and brought free samples yesterday. Best thing were the protein waffles, they were great. The rest? Meh. I'd rather have a kebab place.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

The beef/lamb wrap has been my go to

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

That sounds great, wish I could find a place like that. Did find a good Asian joint about a mile from the house that load up the quality protein (steak, chicken, pork, shrimp) for me, I get 2 + meals out of one large order.

International Chest Saturday tomorrow, hoping the place ain't packed with spring breakers like last Saturday again. :bx :mad:

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

If I had gone for a drink yesterday, it coulda been Frank Zappa's "Titties and Beer". D

Back day starting shortly. :ze

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Good work guys... only work I’m doing today is sitting around with a some yard gar waiting for the Boston Butt to finish

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II

Legs for me too, went heavy on the presses and medium on the still slightly tweaked hammie.

Hockey season starts Friday, time to get my Wheaties. Not sure when the Kabob joint is actually going to open, looks like they've got a bunch of work to do.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Knees clicking again. Back sore again.

I need HGH

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Have any of you researched or tried Intermittent Fasting? I know some of you do fasted workouts. A guy I'm working with told me about the concept of IF and how it supposedly helps shed fat. Been reading a bit about it and it sounds intriguing, although will be tough to retrain the brain to not eat ever 3 hours. Looking for real world results before I make up my mind.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Back to the gym tonight. Gotta work off all those banh mi and pandan waffles over the weekend. Also doesn't help that all the ladies next door are "mom's" so much home made goodies for Easter didn't help.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I used to train on an empty stomach (I train first thing in the day), but never any true type of fasting, Bob. Maybe Huy has some experience with it?

Mr. Kim, hope that back gets better, knees get better, and you share your HGH with me.

Kick ass with that waffle workout, Greg!

Heading in to clean up (shoulders, arms).
