noobs and weight rack hogs...!! i hear ya man.
yesterday i was at the end of my w/o doing BB curls. i always step away from the BB or DB rack to do my stuff so i'm not in people's way. finally at the end of my last set..exhausted i lift the BB one more time to rerack it, walk over to the rack and there's this moronic cretin standing there right in front of the damn rack doing his curls. i wanted drop him to the ground with a kick to the back of the knees

no. i'm not still angry about it...

i will definitely have to try them, a little more help on the lats never hurt either.

front and side raises always make my left shoulder pop

good thing I'm tough!!!!!!

Posted by: the other half

TGILD- thank god its leg day.

front squats
135-8
155-8
165-8
i think that i might go back to reg squats, i just seem to be having a hard time getting a good workout with these. they start sliding off the shoulders and them my form goes t.u.

v squats
324-10
374-10
414-9
i think that i will stay here till i really hit all of them solid.

tri set
leg ext./leg curl/seated calf raises
265-10/120-10/90-15
280-10/130-10/90/12
290-8/140-10/90-12
i think(key word) that i might throw an "ARCHANGEL"move in here and start holding them for a few seconds at the peak contration, and drop the rep range down alittle bit.
on the leg extension, im doing the whole stack plus asst. plates. this way i can maybe explode my quads and hams and get a little more growht.

tough doesnt even describe you, billie

Posted by: the other half

billie, when we were doing the rev pec deck, my left shoulder had to pop but would, so i couldnt go back as far as my right. but once i got off the machine, and rotated it, sure enough it popped.

Posted by: JailHouse

Ya I prefer back squats over front also. That tri set looks crazy intense.

Posted by: Archangel

You will LOVE the hold at the top of the movement my Friend, total burn and flush!!! Good Stuff!!! Excellent w/o's too BRother Half!!!

nice #s on the squats TOH! what's the difference between squats and v-squats?

i'm gonna be doing the same with weight on my squats too. i can squat the weight i do now, but i wanna have a nice smooth squat at that weight before i thinking about upping the weight.

Posted by: Scarface30

very nice job OH

I hear you on the front squats. I've never done them, but I still think I would suck ass at them, they just seem so awkward.

Actually, i find them more natural than back squats.

I was thinking of asking this in the training forum, does your body dictate what exercises you can and can't do? I mean, for example, people with longer legs than torsos (like me) are supposed to find it very awkward to do back squats (like i do), but are there other things that might limit you? Like, if you have really long arms are you more prone to injury by doing bb bench press??

Just something that was rattling around in my brain

... oh no wait... that is my brain

Posted by: goob

Awesome front squats OH. Was katt 'urging' you on to great things?

This has been discussed in the training forum before. I don't remember which thread(s), but try a search.

The gist of the discussion is that your body does help/hinder some exercises. One that I do remember is people with long arms are at a disadvantage when doing a bench press. Not that they're more likely to sustain an injury, but at a disadvantage strength-wise.

makes sense because with longer arms you'd have to be able to sustain the load longer until your reached the top of the lift. also you have a longer way to go, needing more power and strength to get there because you're in the lift for a longer period of time.

at least that's how I see it...

Not that it bothers me only pressing 90lb, i get a great workout from that! Thanks for that, i'll have a look for that thread.

Nice job on the weighted pullups mate! How did they feel?

hey sam nice of you to come back to the other world.
the 12 hour days are only on monday and tues, maybe on thursday this week also.
im watching what i eat, but i dont have the calorie deficiet going on that katt does. i would nt make it through a day at work if i did. but i eat pretty much the same food she does.
i could just see how black and blue my ass would be after eating pizza and burgers and ice cream in front of her.

Exactly!!! I think he eats less that I do most days..

Posted by: the other half

well i would eat more often if i could, but i just cant walk away from shelves that are empty, or from writing an order that has to be done by a certian time. besides i always eat a really good dinner. and i take in more cards than katt does. but then agian i dont lose the fat as quick as she does.

IF SHE WERE TO HAVE ANY FAT, WHICH SHE DOESNT, I MEAN SHE LOOKS GREAT THE WAY SHE IS. I MEAN, AH FUCK IT.

at my age, that is a good question. i would like to put on 20 lbs. of muscle mass, and lose 15% of bf. but, that would take alot of gear and a couple of years, so i will just say that i am maintianing for the most part. i will probably lose another 10 lbs. by june.

the shoes i wear, i just got last summer, and i ony wear them at the gym.
but a number of years ago i had a bone spur in my heel, and to compensate for the pain i altered my walk, which in turn i think caused other problems.
but when i play softball, or do any kind of running, my ankle always seems to hurt the next day.

like butthead billie said, its just probably old age and arthritis.

ok, so katt and i talk my daughter into going (ok, forced her)to go to a spinning class.

i think that it should be called "gasping" or "fuck, i cant breathe", or maybe
"god i hope i get feeling back in my legs" class.

i feel bad, cause it was a brutal class, but she finished it with a smile on her face.

not a bad question, alot of people dont know it by this name.
it is just a stationary bike class. but it really kicks your ass.

they do-
climbs-where you are seated or standing and with lots of resistance.
jumps-you stand for 2 revolutions, sit for 2. they vary these with 2 or 4.
sprints-standing with minimal or hard resistance, and going as fast as you can.
rest-seated with no resistance but pedaling pretty fast.

Posted by: b_reed23

so hows that 7k training going?

Posted by: the other half

todays workout

i know that we dont list it like gaz does, but we do stretch everyday before working out. it baffles me that some people come in at 5 am and just go straight to the bench or some other major movement and go to town with out any warmup.

h.s shoulder press
80-8
90-8
100-8

upright rows
70-8

this is the exercise that katt and i always get pissy about.
so i just kick her ass.

320-8
360-8
410-8

cable crunch mach
80-20
cable crunch
72.5-15
80-15

hanging straight leg raises
bw-6

planks
1-60 sec.

will do more abs when i go and tan and do cardio in a couple of hours

Posted by: Gazhole

Another great workout!

And yeah, i dont get why people are somehow exempt from needing to warmup and warmdown. I forget sometimes, but 90% of the time i make a point of doing it.

It makes you wonder how these people are still lifting at all with absolutely no warmup whatsoever they're playing with injury...

Posted by: SamEaston

Thats so true on the warmup front. I think most people (mistakenly) think it's okay to do one warmup set before your main working set, and that'll do.

I never really write mine in either, but im telling you, if i didn't warmup properly i don't think i'd be able to lift half as much

I never list my stretches either, I will list warm up sets most of the time.
Most of what people do in gyms baffles me, it's one of the reasons I gave up on commercial gyms.
...but anyway
damn, nice shrugs!

Hey, it gets them out of the way faster. And if they pull something, it keeps them out of the gym for some time. So it's not all bad.

actually it is. you have your feet in the stirrups on the pedals and you have to actually pick the whole bike up off the ground while you are going as fast as you can. the people that are really good can kick it out to the side and still land it straight.

there were over 200 women last night between fitness and figure. and today there will be another 150 between men and women bodybuilding.

our butts are gonna be sore after this weekend. but its fun.
i had my picture taken with bob cicherillo yesterday. i will post it when we get back.

thanks scar, the lifting has been going pretty good. deads are getting up there, i just hope the form is ok.

the show was a blast, but it puts you in your place pretty quick.
i m not the biggest guy around, but i feel like i hold my own for the most part.
but then you go to a show. holy shit.

the quality of muscle is out of this world, and they dont even all compete.
but you are taking a small percentage of people and putting them into a room together, where you all have the same interest and goal, and it is mind boggling to see how far some people will go with it.

just started doing them, i can see where the dips you could work up pretty quick, but the friggin pullups are tough. i thought that since i was loosing weight it would be like doing them before, no, i dont think so!!!!!!

I'm with ya bro, I think I'd rather be smacked in the face with a claw hammer than do cardio... O.K., that may be a little extreme... but you get my point.

the tough day is mondays, we do a spinning class at 6 pm, but i have a few hours to kill after work, that makes it really hard to go. plus when we do our cardio, we get to watch all the people down below, and laugh at all the stupid stuff people do and what they wear.

i also met another guy that was wearing an mr. olympia jacket from 2007( a big black guy named bill) he was excited to see my steelers jacket cause he grew up there. if it wouldnt have been for the other 5000 people there, i think we would have talked forever. thanks for stopping by.
