I need to get back in the gym... getting fat. I'll be hitting you guys up for tips once I get in the swing of things.

BTW: 10 sets of 225? Dyamn!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

thats after not deadlifting for like 3 months... :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I support you in all you do. Good luck, guys:tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Would you guys rather do a full set with lesser weight or bump the weight up and go till failure? That's what I'm struggling with right now.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I consider failure to be a full set, David....guess it is semantics.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Got my inclined leg presses up to 1300 ponds, full set of 10 reps

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I worked out on a couple of double cheese burgers from Mac D's..add the big mac sauce..Its bangin..Did 2 reps..downed it with some sweet tea 32 oz curls..Im lovin it! but really its time i hit the gym..need a push..i think i got it today.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Gotcha....I've been bumping up the weights at the end of sets, and instead of being able to do the full 10 or 12 reps I can really only do about 5-7 at this higher weight. I just didn't know if I should leave it at the lower weight and do the full 10 to 12 reps or if it was cool to do the higher weight with only 5-7 reps.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Have a bit of a cold so I skipped out today. I'm super sore from Tuesday...doing some core training mixed with weights & machines.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I mix it up every other workout, sometimes 10-15 reps to faliure, sometimes 4-6.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Thanks Tom :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I remember reading about one guy(can't remember who) but he never liked the idea to lift to failure, said you are training yourself to fail.
I agree with Tom though if you lift to failure that is a full set.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

maybe try a weight in the middle of the two ends and try for 10, do you have a spotter?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

ahhh, how do I give RG to Gerry?:r
