V grip push down super set into rope pull downs. 1 feel, 2 w on both dd on v grips

One arm db over head super set into cable kick backs. 2 w

Seated dB curls 2 w slow reps dd

Bent over concentration db curl 2 w

Not bad, just felt rushed

Video Link: https://youtu.be/iZO1Y5YB9lc Since I lift down in my shop, I am kind of limited on my exercises, but these have strengthened my glutes, hams, and quads. These are the exercise that the breathing bracing helped me progress on. I do go a little lower than the guy in the video. Occasionally, I will superset hacks with reverse hacks. Really puts me through the wringer.

There is a chick at my gym that does these and she wears the tiniest shorts! I think I can see her Fallopian tubes!

Sounds like a good one.....

I'm not a fan of those v-grips. I can warm up with em but they hurt my wrist when I go heavy.

I'm boilin up my edamame pasta tonight and havin some chicken breast with it. 21g protein and 24g carbs in the pasta. We'll see how it tastes..... Ill report back tonight

The short straight bar I like better than the EZ bar grip(sometimes) gotta switch em up - but yes they can tear up the wrists - do you wear wrist wraps?

That pasta sounds good - great macros to go w/it... Lots of P in the pasta itself

I used to wear wraps but left my pair in a friends car which later got towed and impounded and the dumb ass decided to never go get it.

The EZ bar is good for keeping my elbows in tight. If I use a straight bar I flare my elbows out and literally push down. It's not like a hinge movement with the elbows. It's hard to explain but I love both movements.

If I use the V-Grip I add a little twist at the end. As I'm at the bottom of the movement I kick my wrists out almost like a goose neck. It gives a great burn.

[Sfla80]

Just started using Vbar again.

Had a boxer (fracture, splinter, and broken pinky bone) from when I was teen.

Bine still sticks out some, and it's the exact spot where my hand rest on the circle ends of the vbar.

Yup I do that too w/the V-grip at the bottom(elbows in) then like a sm kick out w/wrists keeping elbows from flaring(but they do turn a tad - not flare tho)... Also w/the rope - the spread at the bottom is when it really hits the short head(the farther your hands spread the better the burn - I like holding it at the bottom of contraction for a few sec...

Edamame pasta review: FVCKING PHENOMINAL

So I saw this stuff at cosco and decided to give it a try...... It tastes like real pasta if not better. I did get the carb/protein amounts backwards.....

2oz pasta contains:
24g protein
21g carb

I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to be eating 6oz of it with a chicken breast too but fvck it..... I'm living dangerously tonight. Also.... I hafta match Nach on the bench tomorrow so I could use the boost :-p

[Igifuno]

That looks great. Will have to look for that next time at Costco

[Hazard]

My only complaint..... I Wasnt left "full"

I could eat that whole plate over again. 3 servings of that pasta is 72g of protein. Plus the chicken breast..... My kidneys would fall out if I had another plate

[Hazard]

New plan.....


2oz edamame pasta - 21g carb 24g protein
2oz garden delight pasta - 40g carb 8g protein
Total: 61g carb 32g protein

Not including a 1/2 chicken breast 27g protein

Meal total:

61g carb 59g protein

I was at a waterfront restaurant today and had a flat bread pizza concoction for lunch. I should have taken a pic, but it was cheese, scrambled eggs, sausage and home fries in pizza form. It was damn good.

Sounds quite good really! That sausage/home fry combo alone...

[kelkel]

3 servings of that pasta is 72g of protein.

Look at you with the math. Impressive!

[Hazard]

Thx Sfla man!

They've been coming out regular on all my screens(but it's funny looking for sure)

[DCI]

Hey all, been away from here for a while lost track of training as both my training partners where on holidays and working busy schedules so training with them was hit and miss which didn't help at all.

Was training still but the intensity wasn't there. We all had a sit down over the weekend and got our goals in order and what we want to achieve from here till the new year and beyond.

Just waiting to go in and do chest and quads which should be fun.

Some great progress made by everyone on here in my time away had a quick scan over the posts.

Looking big nach man really big and dry great job man.

[kelkel]

Thx Clarky - your a funny MFer man - crack me up

Don't encourage Clarky.....but yes, you're looking damn good Nach. Agree, delts are poppin. Nice and full!

[kelkel]

Was hiking with my son a few weeks ago. About a 4 mile hike, lot's of rocks, climbing, etc. We sat down on a rock along the water and he goes, "gross dad." I said "what?" He was referring to veins......



ps: the hairy thing is my wrist. I can't cross my legs comfortably. Don't know how guys do that.
