Bigg...nice calf work brother.

[redhawk01]

Yes. I was hoping someone would say yes that would work or ahh seems to put stress etc on the muscle. It left my front delts on fire on swollen up.

i've been putzing around on the smith machine for them as well. will try it tomorrow when i hit delts.

This past week off has benefitted me SO MUCH! Incline presses 275 for reps today - did 2 sets of 10 with a 3rd set of 6 and a drop to 225 for 6 more.

I didn't go balls out either because of my back and shoulder so I'm confident I can attempt 315 in another 4 weeks or so.

Edit - weighed in at 263.5

Nice & nice.

Where are his pics i wanna see!

[Hazard]

Nice & nice.

I typically never did presses because of the shoulder pain. I've just recently found that inclines in the smith with a 45 degree angle really feels good.

I'm gunna stick with those for a bit - I'm doing 70 lb dumbell flys and those give me a great stretch.

Love smith presses. I'm still looking for dumbells myself. Trying to find 130lb Powerblocks on Craigslist in my area. Nothing yet!

Like these Kel? Got them about 13 years ago. Can't remember how much they were at the time but I remember they were my most expensive piece of equipment at the time. Can't use straps with them but never Really need to because of the rubber grips. Great investment.

[Fllifter]

Bis / chest tonight. First time trying out kelkels recommendation with doing biceps before chest. I liked it.

- seated incline dumbbell curl. 2 warm up, 1 working then triple drop to failure.
- Hammers, 1 warm up, 1 working , double drop to failure.
- reverse curls 1 warm up, 1 working, rest pause.

Chest:
- Incline dumbbell press, 1 feeler, 1 working, double drop set. By this time I was gasping for ever breath. I was really pumped up.
- incline flys, 1 working set, triple drop set.
- Cable flys 3 sets high rep.

I've been doing Hit religiously for the past 4 weeks and have been really concentrating on the mental aspect. Every work out I get better/stronger. Also diet has been spot on. The results are UNREAL! Thanks again to all you guys here.. Now when I look around in the gym I'm pretty much the only person who's breaking a sweat, everyone else is taking their 5 minute breaks between each set and carrying on a conversation. Makes me laugh now

[bikeral]

I love doing concentration curls to finish off biceps. You can spot yourself with free hand and do forced reps and negatives without a partner.

Holy crap and Holy crap. Nice. Wtf can't this old body get past 180#. I've gained 30# in 2.5 yrs and now I'm stuck. I know.....eat eat eat.
Maybe it's time for me to stop trying and just go with the flow...

Yep, those. Just found a pair of 90's on CL not too far away. Waiting for a response. Brand new, decent price and I can add to it to bring them up to the 130 pounders.

I picked those up and there's no way I can lift with those. They feel too funny to me. It's uncomfortable sinking my hand into it

Your cycling in seated calf raises often too, right?

[thunderthor70]

Yeah, when I got mine you bought the 90's and had to pay extra for the kit to go to 125. You'll love them

[Igifuno]

Looking ripped thor..

It's weird at first but after a while they seem normal. Especially if its all you use.



263 is a huge number Haz! I'm jealous!!!

[thunderthor70]

Thanks Igi but that's about 3 weeks old! My carb cycling turned into a carb load last week!


You're looking like you weigh about 240 in your avi! !! Thick man!!!

thx man! 210 which is my heaviest ever. I'm on travel right now and in an ice storm so no venturing out to find a gym - hotel gym sucks. Little frustrated about not hitting it yesterday/today/tomorrow but making the best out of it. Just ordered room service - duck quesedilla and a cowboy rib eye and baked potato

[kronik420]

not really.. used to do the seated, until i broke the machine lol.. so had to switched to standing.. i wouldn't of thought it would make much of a difference..?

[RipOwens]

Been busy with work and my little boy. Geez, teething is a bitch eh?

Legs for me, and I've kept things the same for a bit now.

Leg extension 2 warms, 1 working (with legs tho, since the weight has been going up, sometimes I go two working cuz the first ain't heavy enough lol!)

Leg press (same 2/1)
Hack squat 2/1
Leg curl 2/1
Calf raise 2/1

Also plan on trying that bi's before chest next week, see how I like it.

[Igifuno]

yeah rip I remember those days with my girls.. poor little guy. Glad you're finding time for the fam and gym!

I hear you man! I had 5 days off and was geting bummed but I hit legs last night and got personal bests on Evey lift, same with wife! You'll destroy the wieghts when you get a chance

Completely different muscle. Seated works the soleus muscle predominantly, which is smaller and beneath the gastroc. Standing works the gastroc. No matter what you read you really don't get one while doing the other. Think of it like triceps, they don't really grow a lot just cause we bench press.

Yes, for sure. Looking forward to getting back in there. Room service just got here. They messed up my baked potato and gave me mashed.. oh well. It's going down.

What's everybody opinion on creatine? Is it worth it or it depends on the individual?

i don't bother.. used it before but didn't really notice anything... there's about 2g of it (per serve) in the protein powder that i have in the cupboard but never really use lol...
