**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

[Sfla80]

I generally work one arm @ a time when drop setting, Sfla. As soon as I hit failure, I get rid of the bell I'm using and grab the bell I'm dropping to. The only caveat to this would be incline d'bell curls, d'bell skullcrushers, hammer curls, etc. I usually work both arms at the same time, but still drop immediately to the lower weight.

Perfect...there's one machine I'm having difficulty with the drops. Its hammer strength low pully. I work one arm at a time. So I hit both arms then drop each.

This is the machine

I'd love to have that machine. Personally I'd do two arm at a time on those. Easier balance, less time spent, just get up drop the weight and get back to it.

Kel your quads look ridiculous! On another level!

I LOVE that machine! I warm up with both arms and then go single arm real heavy.

I can't go real heavy with both arms at the same time....
can't reach the damn handles with any kind of strength to start it with my t-rex arms hahaha...

Ok guys i was back at the gym yesterday for the first time in more than a year because i'm moving and have to take my gym down. The amount off ppl on phones is unreal they've got the phone in there hands between every set fvcking mad leave the thing in the car. I kid you not there was one guy doing his hair he had his camera on him so he could see himself on his phone doing his fvcking hair tit's.
Any way i did legs there was only so much i could do at home so it was great to be back actually. I didn't go mad with legs i just wanted to see were i was with the weight .

Vertical leg press 2 sets to fail. It's more of a incline slope than vertical i don't know the name of it.

Leg ex 2 sets to fail

Calf raises 2 sets to fail

Did traps aswell as i did't have enough time the other day when going back.

Db shrugs

Bb shrugs

Cable upright row

Legs/calfs & traps are all sore to day the suns back again so it's very hot here somthing we're not used to lol.

Exactly why I go one arm too...especially when using straps.

I need that machine now. Damn you guys. I literally do a one arm row using the smith machine like a dumbell. Awkward but effective believe it or not. Or one arm rows using my T-Bar. You do what you have to do.

The hammer strength machine is great. Both high and low..... Really hits the lat

Yes mate thats the one. My legs are killing me today they have never been sore as this for a long time.

That's what I use in my shop for leg press, hacks, calves, etc. It's been a big help for leg exercises.....mine didn't come w/ the pretty young lady attached to it though.

LMAO...The first time I read.this I laughed because I had a mental picture of you doing one arm rows with the entire Smith machine.....then I quit laughing because I thought that might be exactly what you're doing.

One of my favorite machines. I do it last and burn all the way out.

[Sfla80]

Do you guys like the high pully. One also??

I actually never really use that. I saw hazard likes it. So haz do u switch it out and not do pull downs on those days??

[kelkel]

I don't like you guys anymore with your fancy equipment......

Showoffs....

[clarky.]

See if you could get a deal on 2 of the Hammer Strength pulley machines.???I've only got the basics myself, Kel. It literally took me over 2 months when I bought my leg sled. I kept looking at the vertical leg press because it looks like it puts the lower back in a better position.
On a side note, I have tonight OFF. Going to watch a movie with the wife and beasts. Will be lifting around 6 or 7.

[Igifuno]

One of my gyms just switched out a bunch of equipment and was selling hammer strength machines for good prices. I was salivating.. But didn't buy any. might have been a gold mine for you Kel

[Igifuno]

Feeling pretty good despite the recent inconsistency. Under 200 but I'm not concerned about that right now.

Strength is good.. Diet has some to be desired. Not eating poorly, just not enough.

Awesome session yesterday.. In pain

[almostgone]

OK, got in a good pullback/no beyond failure lift today. Worked arms today. Plan to go through one rotation of bodyparts and then see how I feel. I had almost 2 weeks off due to work being swamped, but the hours are manageable again...for now.

Biceps stretch
Seated d bell curls-2 w/u, Work1-5, drop, Work2-4.5
Incline d'bell curls-1 w/u, Work1- 7.5, drop, Work2-8
Bent over concentration curl- Work1-5, drop, Work2-4.5
Seated hammer curl-Work1-4, drop, Work2-3.5
Triceps press down-2 w/u, Work1-7, drop, Work2-6.5
D bell skullcrusher-1 w/u, Work1-7, drop, Work2-8
Close grip press-2 w/u, Work 1-8, Work 2-6

Felt really great to get a lift in today and already looking forward to the next one.

Edit: total lift = 48 min. including stripping plates.

All right, Igi!!! Glad to hear you're getting in some lifting. Looking forward to reading more of your posts, buddy.

Thank AG. Definitely hoping to be here more.. Nice workout btw. I have to get back into the advanced techniques. Kind of fell off with that.

[hawk14dl]

Got a question, on db presses do you guys face palms out, or facing each other?

[Hazard]

When I do them I start with palms facing my ears and rotate them so they face infront as I extend my arms up.

[clarky.]

I've always did palms facing forward through the full movement.

[hawk14dl]

I guess I'll try both when I get into a gym. I'll have to find one after my house sells, figure I'll start db pressing then.

[Cuz]

Its hard to say right now. But Ill probably just try to build back to what I had before with just a little test. I think trt is in my future for certain. Which ok..id rather be on trt than a complete mess like j am off cycle.

Reason I say hard to say right now is because I may have a career change coming up ill find out in a couple weeks. Thanks for the inquiry Kel

Thanks, Igi! This is my first pullback lift. My work schedule keeps my lifting so fragmented that it took me awhile to get to this point. I didn't realize how beat down I was.

My new job is 500 miles a minute. Totally insane and really stressful. I could work constantly if I wanted to but was getting super frustrated. Found that making time for the gym has helped with that (no shit, right?)

[marcus300]

I always keep my palms facing forward and when doing the upward movements slightly bring the bells in as you do the rep going upwards, don't just press them up in a straight line, bringing them in slightly on the upward movement will target the delts far more and take away any tricep involvement, try it and you will feel the burn


watch the first 40 seconds
