Lol you fixed that seat yet AG come on tell the truth or did the wife fix it for you

Lol....I'll fix it this morning. The wife did take the pic though. I took a pic when I finished assembling it and was going to post it up on break, but I fat fingered it and deleted by accident, so she took another pic and shot it to me.

[clarky.]

Wide grip pd 1working DD

Close grip pd 1 working DD

Seated row 1 working DD

Db rows 2 working on each side to fail.

Bi's today.

[Dpyle]

Delts and arms today, and I'm feeling great! Stepped on the scales this morning, which I've been avoiding lately, and body weight hasn't changed in weeks but the fat keeps coming down.

[almostgone]

Much respect, Dpyle! The shadow pic you posted is just f-in awesome!!

Didn't get to lift chest yesterday, but I did get the leg extension/curl machine set up yesterday morning.I still need to spend a little time with it to find the correct/best seat positions for me. I'm supposed to be off 1 day this weekend and plan to get comfortable with it and help the wife figure out what works for her.
Been a long while since I've had the option to do these 2 exercises; looking forward to adding them in.


....and I just noticed the seat back is slightly out of square. Will fix that this morning.

I picked up that same leg setup used on craigslist about a month ago. Pretty decent setup. Only thing that sucks is having to change the plates a lot cause my wife uses it also, but it works great until I can affor a cable setup !

Thanks man. Just happened to notice it and thought it would make a great shot.

I kinda like the plate loaded machines vs. the selectorized stack...less complex/less worries. I'm not totally against cables though. I have cables @ high and low pulleys on my Smith machine.
That particular leg ext./curl machine was one of the heavier ones I found in that style. I haven't test driven it yet, but the welds, gauge of metal, and overall fit and finish impressed me.

[clarky.]

Did bi's today it was good. Did warn up reps + stretching.

Standing db curls 1 working + DD +RP

Incline db curls 1 working 1drop + RP

Concentration curls 2 working each side

Ok guys the way i used the RP was. Standing db curls was when doing my working set i curled till i could not i stoped 15-20 sec then went again then when i could not curl i did my first drop i repeated this right through. what i usually do is curl till i can't then drop so a big difference i felt it.

Incline curl i did the RP 3 times before i droped

CC were sore

preacher curls got more of a burn in ma forearms to be honust guys was a great workout bi's are sore the now so defo did good.

[almostgone]

Damn man! Wish I had a freezer big enough to store meat by the case

Maybe you could split a case w/ someone??? One of the guys @ work that lifts offered me $20 to split a case with him. LOL, I wouldn't feel right charging him to split a case, but I told him he could go along and carry the box if he wants.

[almostgone]

Lol you fixed that seat yet AG come on tell the truth or did the wife fix it for you

OK, Clarky...I squared the back of that seat up now. Lol, I was getting tired when I assembled everything and didn't have the pin for the seat back adjustment fully locked in.

[hawk14dl]

Did my first real session since joining my new gym.
Did legs. Normal routine. Great workout, hurts like hell.

Something I observed, two squat racks in the gym, both were empty. The Smith machines were full, as was the leg press. Good thing I do squats.

Another thing, a few guys walking around, pretty large in the upper body. Like, I'd be happy if I were there size (I'm still a little guy).. anyways, these guys have chicken legs! Like, possibly no larger than mine. And I'm 6'1 185.

Wtf

Gonna run this week as a well needed deload...gonna do one work set to failure with no drops or anything. I'm also gonna start training in the morning before work & see how it goes. Always wanted to but I thought it would be too loud in the garage at 4:15 am. Wife said go for it, hope I don't wake them up, lol!

For me, Clarky, it would depend on the severity of the pain and how much it limited my daily routine. I figure if it's impeding my work/activities, then I need to see the Dr.
However, I would continue with the broomstick stretches and RC exercises daily unless the Dr. advises differently. Also, I would have to gut the front raises or go very light with them? Front raises make my bad shoulder feel like it is trying to "cam/rotate" out of socket.

Sounds like you have a good wife, Chvl! I love lifting @ home. I lift whenever I can fit it into my schedule no matter what time it is....We're pretty rural so I can cuss and grunt as much as I need to.

Side note delts and traps are sore so thats good.

Yes I do for sure...she puts up with a lot of my chit! We built on 2.5 acres aswell so I can make some noise aswell, love it. Went pretty good this morning...a bit strange, but nice & cool being so early & I'll have more time to hang out with the fam after work!

Time for a week off. Right rear delt a bit irritated and I tweaked my hamstring last leg day. Got done quads and hams and immediately went to one-leg vertical toe presses for calves with no rest. My hamstring did not like the no rest part and seized up a bit. Tweak, cramp, whatever it was it hurt for several days. Almost better now but I'm listening to my body and haven't had a break in a while, so time for a little rest. More time to eat!

im taking a week off as well...too many things hurting right now especially my tendons connecting my biceps to my forearm they both are inflamed big time...it hurts sometimes to hold up the remote control so obviously a break is needed...getting old sucks...

Just got finished with one a few weeks ago. Took a full week off went back into training and decided I could use one more. Came back with a higher drive and more intensity than before, but I had been pushing hard since the first of the year with only one break in the middle.

[Cuz]

Done chest. Really weak and had a burning tearing sensation in my whole upper body. Decided to call it quits early.

Been there. Nothing feels right or hurts the way it should. It just hurts.

[kelkel]

..getting old sucks...

Yes, yes it does. But we must adapt and keep pushing. Change tactics, more rest days, brief but harder training, etc. I've found (and discussed here before) that EOD training has been the best thing I've done as I've aged.

Nope.

[almostgone]

Not very impressed with my session. Feeling pretty weak today. But I did get it done.

Incline flyes-2 w/u, Work-5, drop, 2.5-drop-2-1.5
Smith incline press-1 w/u, Work-1.5-drop-2.5-drop-1-.5. Went with a fairly wide grip on these.
Flat fly-2 w/u, Work-3,drop,2.5-1.5,drop, 1.5-.5
Smith flat bench-1 w/u, Work-1.5-drop-3.5

Back tried to act stupid again. I was standing there looking at weights trying to get my mind right prior to lifting, kinda tensing up my core and the danged left spinal erector started spasming. Was able to stretch it out somewhat. Still think it and the twisting problem I'm having during deads are related?
Will get the wife to roll my back with a baseball in the morning. I have script for Nsaids (Voltaren) and muscle relaxers, but plan to stick with Nsaids for now.
42 minutes
