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...

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

that spinning class sounds intense OH. I like

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.

that part of it.

as for the workouts, they seem to be coming along great in here. and did I spot pullups with an extra 10lbs?! who was it that said it would be a long time before they add weight to the pullups..hmm? lol...nice job

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!

How do you do sprints and jumps on a stationary bike? It's not BMX racing?

not necessarily the sprints, but the "jump" part and whatnot sounds interesting to say the least...

I see that happen all the time. Right out of the cold and they start with the weights. Oh well, it'll be their problem, not mine.

Some people are just retarded when it comes to intelligent weight lifting.

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.

incline flys
50-8/8/7

dips
bw+25

rope one arm push downs

didnt get to do one arm overhead ext.
well i wanted to bump up the weights from last workout.
what a fucking stellar idea.
it was ok for the first set, but after that i was just totally screwed.
everything seemed to burn out quicker and quicker.

oh well. maybe some day i will learn.

Hey, nothing wrong with being a little over aggressive!

wtp? Even a bad day for you is better than a good day for many other people. You need to really push yourself once in a while. And you have katt for inspiration.

thanks bro, i was wondering the other day, just what kind of movement most people do on their shrugs. i see people do the rolling, lifting to the back and the straight up lift. and then some that use their legs and bounce it up with bent arms. i like to stand on my tippy toes and just lift straight up to my ears. but i always seem to get a neck ache by the next day.

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.
