Your doing great yourself DCI thats the thing about this thread eh it keeps us all going it's just great. You know someone will post a session up then your like fvck what a session so you have to go balls to the wall i know we need/want to anyway but it makes us all go a bit more i think because you don't want to post a half arsed session up.

[DCI]

Cheers Clarky. Yep you do feel like you aren't training right unless its 100% cos you feel you didn't push yourself to the limit. Youll get there man

[almostgone]

X2 on that mate.

X 3, guys! There's no way I would had made the progress I have without all of "y'all" keeping me motivated.
...and I feel guilty because I didn't get in a leg session today. My next scheduled day off is Christmas, but I'm hoping to get in a lift tomorrow.

So shoulders was under pressure as had to meet up with someone.

So rc warm ups.

Front and side raises supersetted after warm up sets. Went heavier than normal with these which was unreal the muscles were really responding well, pump was savage.

Then farmers walk loved 6 laps of the gym was in bits then did on set of shruggs just to destroy the fatigued muscles.

Then hammerstrength presses epic tbh really really were a strugle.

Then did the side delt exercuae marcus posted up a few weeks away with a db loved it serious pump.

Was in bits 35 mins start to finish sweat pouring outta me really loved it came home to feed and chill

Just say for posting a pic in a thread is it the same one all the time forum 1 ? There are lots to pick from as you can see am no good at this lol.

[kelkel]

Another great leg workout yesterday. Been squatting some real heavy weight lately as it's been feeling great. Must be the new neoprene's I recently picked up....ha! I think I need to skip squats next week just to be safe and give my knees and back a much needed break. I say that now anyway....

Speaking of pictures as several guys have referenced above. I'd love to see more of the members post up some progress pics.

Drinking a "Marcus"- style shake and headed to the shop to hit legs in a few . I swear guys, I will be SO glad when this string of OT is done at work. One of my New Year resolutions is to cut back on the OT when possible. Will post up my lift later after I get settled in @ work.

I hear that man.....

This year I've saved my company a few million dollars. $5 million would be an accurate guess. One night I worked REALLY late...... Pulled 20 hours and saved them $140,000 in that time. I came in the next day to a write up for forgetting to do my notes......

I was PISSED! I gotta stop working crazy hours for a company that doesn't appreciate it.

[Hazard]

Oh and I'm Salary..... No overtime pay

[clarky.]

No OT Haz fvck that must piss you off.

[Hazard]

No OT Haz fvck that must piss you off.

U have no idea..... I regularly put in 50hrs a week. Sometimes 60-80....

On the upside..... I've traveled to puerto rice and Miami..... Stayed in 5 star resorts.

I'd trade that for overtime pay tho lol

[BG]

Back in, glad everyone is doing so good.

Hit legs with my old training partner at my old gym....felt GOOD to be back in the mix.

5 min on bike warm up
5 sets of squats
4 leg press
from and rear single leg extensions and calves.

Took it easy as a "feeler" work out and just mental strength on not sqauting over 365. Felt good to be back in the rack and out of the smith machine. Looking forward to next session in two weeks.

[DrewZ]

Had a 7 point skin fold caliper test done, sitting at 8% 180lbs - I'm 5'7 on a good day.
Made some good progress with this HIT style training and some huge strength gains.
Thank you guys!

Just need to work on dropping the amount of sets and putting all your intensity into the working set.

What type/brand of neo sleeves did you get, Kel?

Good, strong lift today...for me, anyway. It was 38°F in the shop, but I still worked up one hell of a sweat. Started off with my usual lower body stretches and a couple of sets of crunches.

Leg extensions-2 w/u, Work-9.5,drop,3.5,drop,4.5
Toe touches
Calves-2 w/u, Work1-10-4.5-4, drop, Work2- 8-4.5-3.5. Slow negatives w/ a long hold on last rep down to the full stretch @ the bottom.
Hacks-Work-7-4-3. Almost ready to bump up the weight on these. I do these w/ my feet about shoulder width apart... maybe a tad more, and feet all the way up on the top of the platform. Later on down the road I plan to start narrowing up my stance a tad after I get a bit stronger w/ current stance.
Leg press- 2w/u, Work-6,drop,5-3.5
Leg curl- 1 w/u, Work-11-5-3.5. Long slow neg on the last 3.5.

Didn't get in the power thrusts today, but I was pushing pretty d@mn hard! Believe I strained a sternocleidomastoid..neck has a funky twinge to it....no biggie.
Really busted my ass, guys. 48 minutes not counting the stretches and crunches.

Arms are next in the rotation. Looking forward to doing some really painful stuff to myself.

you need to compact your working sets into one its impossible to go to failure on 4 working sets,
failure is something whats learnt, its a mind set, its a whole inner body experience what takes every ounce of motivation to take your body through this pain.

Check out some of our routines, or better still read the whole thread it explains it in detail.

[almostgone]

not training for a week no one speak to me everyone is a cvnt

Had to bump this. When I read it the first time I laughed my @ss off.....it's still f-in funny.

I've grown to love online shopping....especially since we're kind of way out in the sticks. Online shopping also has the added benefit of no crowds, which I also like.
Maybe go shopping first, DCI.... get p!ssed off at the whole process (which I do), and then use the anger to hit legs?

[DCI]

I was gonna do that but if i do ha I'd be in no mood for shopping lol. Last year I had everything sorted by now but this year I just procrastinated quite a lot listening to led zep here might put me in an inspirational mood lol

PTEX is the brand. Was in a Dicks Sporting Goods with my son and come upon these. Dirt cheap. I opened it up, checked it out and bought them. Went with large and they fit perfect. Very impressed with them compared to the 2-3 times more expensive ones. These are just neoprene sleeves, nothing fancy.
