Merry Christmas, Brotha!

I had thought about getting a stop watch with countdown alarm?

Malley · 12-26-2006, 04:53 PM

I dont get it. I used to Db Incline about that as well. Now I am struggling with 90 lbs DB's on flat. But yet my BB Bench is around 315. Any ideas on this one?

Burner02 · 12-26-2006, 04:59 PM

just the muscles arent used to the movement. my .02 worth.
each hand is stabilizing each DB. Same movement...but different.

Malley · 12-26-2006, 05:00 PM

Ya I kinda figured that. I have went up 10lbs on each Db is the last 2 weeks. Then again I just started doing them again.

Burner02 · 12-26-2006, 05:06 PM

ya know...it's like you go to a different gym..and the bench is different. It throws your lifts off..until you get used to it.

Malley · 12-26-2006, 05:15 PM

This is true.

AKIRA · 12-26-2006, 06:46 PM

Unbelievably true.

Malley · 12-26-2006, 06:46 PM

^^ Explain yourself......

AKIRA · 12-26-2006, 07:16 PM

Theres really NO reason why working out in an unfamiliar place makes one less strong, but it happens to me! I saw that it happened to Mudge too, he said he went down 35lbs? Thats outrageous.

Burner02 · 12-26-2006, 08:55 PM

I worked out on a bench that was lower than the one I was used to...and maye my mind was distracted by that somewhat?

AKIRA · 12-26-2006, 09:38 PM

The only distraction I can accept, is a nice, tight ass.

Malley · 12-26-2006, 09:39 PM

Hey check out my post in the training area. I am looking for a new routine.

AKIRA · 12-27-2006, 12:49 PM

Lower

Active Stretched

Super Seated Leg Press (again)
1 plate on each side for 2 sets, 12 reps
2 plates on each side for 1 set, 10 reps (warm up completed)
4 plates + 35lbs on each side for 3 sets, 8 reps
same shit for 1 set, 6 reps (gave up; 2 min RI)

Deadlifts
155lbs for 3 sets, 10 reps (2 min RI)

DB Lunges
40lb DBs for length of the gym (26 steps and it took 1:20min to complete)
Did it the other way in 24 steps (it was a long RI, too much talking)

Calf Press using Leg Press
1 plate on each side for 2 sets, 12 reps
3 plates on each side for 2 sets, 10 reps
4 plates on each side for 2 sets, 10 reps (45 sec RI)

DB Static Holds
110lbs for 3 sets, 28 sec x 2, then 20 sec on 3rd

Ball Bridge w/feet on ball
2 sets of 20 reps

Ball Bridge w/feet doing Marches
2 sets of 15 steps

Crunch w/legs on Ball
1 set of 15
1 set of 4 crunches w/5 lil crunches in each full crunch
1 set of 15

Static Stretched

Everything went up except calfs. I just didnt have neough in me for the leg press though.

I ended up talking to this guy I know about his kids and this trainer I want to fuck about her ass. So, the 2nd set of Lunges was like a new workout.

Static holds were a joke. And I threw in core fun shits, bu tnot giggles.

Now I have to shit like a motherfucker.

ReproMan · 12-27-2006, 12:59 PM

Nice. How are the deadlifts feeling?

Malley · 12-27-2006, 03:32 PM

I am much to lazt to look back, whats the deal with all the light work on deads? What problems were you having?

That really did make me laugh.

My deads are going....well, thats all I can say, theyre going.

No pains I shouldnt be feeling and 155lbs felt the same as 135lbs. Lots of work left on the table.

Malley · 12-28-2006, 03:58 PM

Now that sounds painful. I have had a very durable back over the years. A tweak here and there, but nothing to serious. I am a shoulder guy I guess. They always give me fits.

same here...

AKIRA · 12-28-2006, 05:44 PM

In all honesty, if I do or dont do deadlifts, my back feels the same. I havent seen the chiro in over a week and it feels the same as well. Some days its tight others its not.

On my Lower day i was really thinking of doing ATG squats. Not sure that its time and with me failing the 4 plates + 35lbs recently, well....

Malley · 12-28-2006, 05:45 PM

So you failed doing like 480 something?

AKIRA · 12-28-2006, 06:10 PM

Yeah, but I never really count it cuz the movement is on a fixed any vs. a squat is straight up and down. Plus if two people squated the same intensity, say 225lbs, but both individuals weighed differently. That means one of them could be gettign more out of their workout than the other. Of course, that also means one could fatigue faster than the other../.

Either way, all I needed was 2 more reps with a 2min RI window. I prolly coulda gotten it, but I lost motivation and the burning in my legs overshadowed my interest.

Malley · 12-28-2006, 06:11 PM

Now thats a ton of weight!

AKIRA · 12-28-2006, 06:18 PM

And I am hardly sore at all.

But I went up in everything. Physical proof that soreness means shit.

Malley · 12-28-2006, 06:20 PM

Ya I never believe that getting sore is a staple of growing or getting a good workout.
