Dotn all you guys hate Blair?

Broiled is a heated term. I think the burgers are considered flame "broiled" cuz its just an additional verb. The flame brings heat directly TO the burger. Direct heat=broil.

Broiling just means applying direct heat to what you are cooking.

Broiling = grilling.

I had no idea the word broil was exclusive to American English, but it is.

Yeah that it crazy. I saw our buddy with the 500+ raw bench do at least 10-12 reps of 225 seated shoulder press, like it was the bar.

A few of that guy's buddies were doing deadlifts one day with around 400lbs. He basically walked over to the bar and rowed it for a few reps. Sick strength.

LOL, I know. He just walked up to it and picked it up like it was a bag of groceries.

Malley · 12-15-2006, 01:48 PM

Nice incline presses. Very strong.

AKIRA · 12-15-2006, 04:05 PM

Huh? Oh yeah! Holy shit a whole page of bullshitting. And to think I hate that on other people's journals!

Thanks!

I thought I was going to be out of the gym for a bit, but it appears that I can continue going to Golds for a while. MY gold's franchise is up, so as they get relocated to an old wal mart store, theyre changing their name. BUT. There not even open yet. Nice huh. Your gym closes and doesnt give you shit until the new one opens. Plus, they dont tell you when its opening. Cute.

Malley · 12-17-2006, 08:18 AM

Dude that sucks! What are you going to do? Are they going to be opened right away or is it going to take a while? And what are they renaming it?

AKIRA · 12-17-2006, 09:08 AM

Yes theyre renaming it. Their Golds franchise is over. I get to drive 30min to a nicer gym for a while though. I have tot switch to an upper/lower workout scheme for a while. Today is the first day.

Oh, and who knows when the new one will open. No sign on the old Golds, no notification in the mail...real unprofessional.

Malley · 12-17-2006, 09:27 AM

Sounds very unprofessional. If there was a chance at another gym I wouldnt give those people my money.

AKIRA · 12-17-2006, 01:29 PM

Upper

Incline Bench Press
135lbs for 3 sets, 10 reps (warm up)
225lbs for 4 sets, 8,8,8,7 (failed; 90 sec RI)

Weighted Chin Ups
35lb plate for 4 sets, 8,8,8,6.5....rested 15 sec, then fired out 2 more (90 sec RI)

Standing Overhead Barbell Press
115lbs for 3 sets, 10,10,6...rested 15 sec then fired out 2 more 990 sec RI)

DOH Barbell Row
185lbs for 3 sets, 10 reps (90 sec RI)

Barbell Static Hold
225lbs for 4 sets, 28 sec, 29 sec, 26 sec, 21 sec

Static Stretched lower stuff

I got wiped out pretty badly today when I got to the shoulder presses. So out of breath. I shouldve waited longer after the chinups to get a fresh workout. However, in the middle of the presses, I noticed it wasnt just my breathing that was off, it was my tri's. They were done.

No straps were used in the making of this workout.

The rows were fucked up. ALmost like Yates rows cuz I couldnt bend over as much as I could. Seems as if everyone was using the squat racks on THIS sunday afternoon.

All in all, I felt a bit weak. I was nausiated around the static holds. My pulls were better than my pushes again, but maybe its cuz I did incline before a shoulder dominant movement? Hmm, id say both pushes today were shoulder dominant.

Yeah its a bit awkward. I am not upset about it yet, since I am not without a gym. I know when to be greedy and when not to. "Persevere."

Since I can workout only twice a week now, I am on an upper/lower. Pretty much total body, now I know what FatCat was talking about. I was dying. Oh and no isolation moves needed...

Squaggleboggin · 12-17-2006, 02:32 PM

Very nice. That workout is looking strong. I like the DOH grip, even if it's for comfort rather than added grip work. You say you felt weak but those are solid numbers for sure, specifically the weighted chin ups with 35 pounds. The most I've ever done was 40 pounds for a single, and that was at 185ish. Keep trucking, my friend.

AKIRA · 12-17-2006, 07:29 PM

No actual sqauts! This asshole..sheesh, I never go to this gym and yet, I still remember some people. Anyway, this asshole sqauts outlandish weight, has knee wraps, weight belt....and he doesnt even go NEAR a quater of a squat.

OK, I exaggerated. He goes halfway to a quarter or a squat.

WHY.
