Happy monday to you too Bio

Planning to hit chest/bicep later, but my left hand sored from saturdays shoulder press.

Ocasionnaly I get the palm of hand bruised from presses, you know where the bar sits grrr

Probably going to do back instead

Do you press with a suicide grip or your thumb wrapped around the barbell/dumbbells, Mr. BB? I use the suicide grip for close grip presses and occasionally overhead d'bell presses, however, if I use it too often, I tend to get palm issues from the suicide grip.

Bedtime for me. Just put away 8 oz. of grilled chicken, grilled leeks, and grilled eggplant. Probably watch about 30 minutes of a scary movie the wife is watching and then I should be fairly comatose.

[NACH3]

What's up fellas hope everyone had a nice w/e!

Also, thinking of hitting chest/bis this evening or hopefully earlier!

Have a kickass day everyone

thumb wrapped on free weights, suicide on smith and machines

You're right, I bruised it doing hammer shoulder press machine. When I got to the smith machine to do a bit of behind neck press I was already with some pain. Its not exactly mid palm, you know, its where the bar sit inline with the forearm.

Guess Im using too much weight for my hands

Couple of nice days of training. Arms still fried from Thursday's & Saturday's workouts. Yesterday was legs and abs, today all cardio. Hope you all are doing well.

[kelkel]

What do you mostly do for legs Prox?

I occasionally get the same issue. Fortunately, it seems to clear up within a week to 10 days and isn't a full time chronic problem. It's just aggravating as the dickens.

Yees big guy, looks good, and new weight

[clarky.]

Morning fellas, no session the night again. Back to it the mora just got a few things on, away back to work now. Catch up later fellas.

[almostgone]

Yes sir, I was happily surprised with that one. . Ready for the pullback now and will still keep chipping away at those weights, just no drop sets for a "wee" while.
Will probably keep the negatives unless I don't start recovering well. My body and brain are ready for a little break.

[hammerheart]

I need to revise diet and cut some fat, I got one inch pinch on nipples.

B cup?

Train chest harder. If your pectorals are bigger it will spread the fat evenly.

[Proximal]

Morning. 3 days straight, body telling me to rest.

AG, I felt your workout as I read it. Man I am so into the one arm work with forced reps. Have a great one all.

[Bio-Active]

Good morning hitters. My body told me to rest yesterday so I did. I crashed out early last night and feel so much better today. Have a great Tuesday everyone!!

[clarky.]

I finish work next wk (friday) for 2 wks can't wait. Really looking forward to the rest and just to get away from the fvcking shit hole lol. Anyway one of the machine men i work with trains as well quite a big fvcker, he only stays about 20min from me so am going to train with him at his gym a few days while on holiday.
He was going through the gear they have ( haha not oil fellas) and it sounds great, ma shit hole has fvck all so if i like it i think i will go train there 2-3 x a wk. Only thing i don't like is that year contract pish, can't be fvcked with that nonsense.
Anyway, back to it the mora and looking forward to it.

[almostgone]

Sweet. Sounds like a blast, Clarky. Does he train HIT or are you going to try his style one day and HIT on another day.
I'm only off the weekend before Christmas. They nixed our holidays and time that was alloted for machinery to be down while we worked on machinery is now dedicated to running.
Just as well I guess , I'm not much on holidays anyway. The wife will celebrate Christmas with her sister so she'll get her kicks in.
Enjoy your time off and make the most of it.

Naa AG, He does sets and pyramids the weight. Will say to him though but think he's set in his way 50 odd year old. I'll give it a go just for a change but i love the HIT. Probs just go back to training on my own hahaha,
Aye kinda shit about your time off mate but you do hate the holidays haha.

Guys and girls what's happening? Hope everyone is good and healthy. Haven't been around much but think of you all often. Been hitting it hard without fail, and feeling good for 40 (almost) .

Back tonight:
Bent over BB rows w/ v grip: warm ups, feel x 10, then heavy 160x5, dropped to 135x6 + 1rp
Double dumbbell row (love this movement - start off with DB in each hand and bent over/knees bent, then stand up using your lower back while rowing the dbs) feel, working, then heavy w/ 70s x4, drop to 55s for 6 more
Wide bar rows, working, heavy, drop
Straight bar/straight arm lat pull downs

20 mins light cardio and then lots of sushi

[Igifuno]

Also spoke with Haz and sfla and they send their best. Busy as hell too and will be back on soon.

Great to see you back Igi! Hopefully all will be back soon. Holidays, work, life can take a toll on us all!

Ha! Thanks, Kel.. I'm still wearing that neoprene.. Been through a couple sets now. Great seeing you man.

[kelkel]

Stick the hell around this time! At a minimum check in frequently, dammit.

It's been a bad habit over the years, I admit. Will certainly do my best. How's Marcus?

He's laying low at the moment working through some life things.

Well, my arms are totally fvcked today. Shoulders Wednesday evening and then it's back to the squat day and calves.
Really looking forward to the higher reps squats and I have to admit they are somewhat addictive. I have to thank Kel, Marcus, and BG for helping me get back into it. Every time I would read a post about hitting squats, I felt I was really missing out. Also, the risk factor is a tad lower now that I have a decent setup for squats.
We did get a little bonus at work, so I think I may do a little anabolic shopping and also top off the deep freezer.

[almostgone]

Big salad w/ chicken breast for breakfast then bedtime for me. I did do some DC style biceps stretching at work earlier, so hopefully things will be right and not too tight this evening for shoulders.

[clarky.]

Hey IGI great to see you, and you are doing well.

[clarky.]

Hi fellas, did back earlier good session. **pullback**

Seated row 1 working TD. Med grip

T bar 1 working TD. Bar in corner as always

Db row 2 sets. 10 reps a set struggling

Seated row 1 working TD. Machine

Straight arm pd 1 working DD

Done, good session fellas, felt good.

[Igifuno]

Nice, Igi! Regards to the Igi clan.

Great seeing you AG, regards to your clan as well! Hope all is well. . I almost forgot I can't complain about my age around here.

Been meaning to try ropes or putting the bar in front, but always just revert to presses or hacks. When I put the bar on my back I always feel like I'm going to rip a pectoral muscle.
