Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Forgot to post my chest/shoulder workout Tuesday. Forgot what all I did. Moved lots of weight.

No workouts since as I was hanging st my friends cottage. Did get a couple 3+ mile runs in. Now that I have my new bike carrier, gonna hit up the state parks for a few miles.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Jawohl! :salute:

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Great news!

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Killed my legs (and a little bit of my soul) today.

BB Squats
Goblet squats
Dumbbell lunges
Hamstring curls
Single leg calf raises
Some ab work too

Thought I had enough juice for today, but almost passed out a few times. Lol.

Tried my trainers knee sleeves also, hoping it would help with the knee pain on the squats. Nope.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

1hr on the elliptical

standing overhead press
arnolds...


Gassed, nothing left last night.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Sounds like an epic day, Bob.

Sorry, been training but forgot to log.

Back today. Felt real nice.

Pendlay bb row 5x
Pendlay db row 5x (yeah not sure why I did these but I love the stretch I get on my lats)
Pull ups - wide grip pull downs 4x
T bar row 4x (standing a little more upright)

Hit a couple bis.

Bob, curious to what knee sleeves you tried. Not all knee sleeves are the same but then again knee sleeves will not be the cure to your knee pains.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I'll have to look when I get home.

Any advice on overcoming the knee pain? When I start to get to the heavier weight sets (heavy for me anyway), it's the right knee cap that starts hurting.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

I wish I had sound advice for that. For me, it was consistency with my routine (warm up, dynamic stretches, slowly working up to my working set) that helped me.

I don’t use knee sleeves but own a pair. I have SBD sleeves. They are pretty legit.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Took my first shower in 43 days today.

I think I came.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

:sw:lr Your sleep schedule all messed up yet?

Didn't do squat last night, went home and went to bed around 7pm :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Actually better the last week or so, Greg, before that I was up 'til 2 or 3 every night.

Maybe instead of not doing squat, you should do some squats. :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Second day of PT for me today. She thought I did good yesterday, so she doubled up on the difficulty and duration. She also made me ride the bike....I told her the reason I play on 3 hockey teams is so I didn't need to do any cardio. She laughed and told me to get to pedalin'.... :r

Been out for a while. Back has been hurting since SoCal. Went to do some arnolds and somehow tweaked it even more. Doesn't feel to bad when I walk, but trying to sleep is a bit of a chore.


So Tom, did you go against Dr's orders and jump into the gym early?

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II
 

Sorry you're tweaked, Greg, that blows.

Nope....today was first day back, with the doc's blessing. Only cleared to do seated and prone upper body stuff for now, hopefully standing exercises and legs within a week or two.
