Dont worry, ive done stuff like pick up two different dumbells.

Once i loaded one side of a barbell 10lbs lighter than the other side. That was a weird set...

Awesome workout anyways! Nice addition of Supine Rows, i wish i could do those more often.

goob · 04-25-2008, 06:53 AM

Haha, I did worse, 5 x 5 sets of front squats, with 15lb's less on the left hand side of the bar.

All the way through it I was wondering why my left side was weaker. It was only afterwards that I found I'd loaded on too much.

**Gazhole** · 04-25-2008, 07:01 AM

How much does it freak you out, though? I was going mad thinking of ways to make my one hamstring stronger.

still an awesome workout.

i wish i could find a way not to sweat so much. we do our preworkout drinks, and by 5:15 i already have a trail of sweat going down the back of my shirt, and by the time we finish i look like we just ran 5 miles in 90 degree heat.
i keep thinking that it is the fat leaving me, but im not seeing that.

thanks OH. some people sweat a lot - some people don't, it is kind of weird, but all genetics I guess.

thanks Gaz. lol it's a bit embarassing when it happens, but hey, it happens to the best of us. Supine rows are great, definitely one of my favourite, if not most favourite, pulling movement.

good workout today again. so I know your hams aren't directly hit when you do squats, but they are used some and the other day when I said I tweaked my left one on the hypers, well whatever it was flared up today and I didn't feel like pushing myself to do 190 - but I did anyway, which I was dumb. luckily nothing bad came out of it.

still can't get 60sx8 on the DB press

. was happy with my dips though, I don't know where those 14 reps came from - might have been the cutie that was standing next to me while I was doing them, but who knows?

...

also decided to drop the hang clean weight down since the last time when I tried 75 I was no where near my rep goal.

on a side note, I am currently finished school for the year!! got a few course marks back which I am extremely pleased with. a little shindig tonight with a couple of friends who are leaving for the summer.

goob · 04-26-2008, 03:51 PM

Nooiiccee workout scar. Lol at the 'odd' plank timings. Congrats on the PR's.

Shindig sounds good. Let me guess, bar, club, strip bar, late night party, hangover from hell.

Bet you're glad it's all over huh?? Hope you had fun on your night out, although i always find it sad when people leave for the holidays, you just know you won't see all of them again

thank you Sir Goob. yeah, my plank timing is a little strange. I don't have a specific time I try to get to, I just try to go as long as I can.

the party was good...sounds about right, but the after party was at the strip club

Calf Press - RI 1:00
450x3x10

Cable Crunches - RI 1:00
130x10
135x2x10

so, since I am home for a few weeks before I go back to Halifax and start work I started going to my gym at home, and I have to say some of those weights, especially the cable rows and cable crunches were a lot higher than normal. different machines I guess. all in all and decent workout, although wasn't as intense as I'd like because I went with a buddy of mine who is home for this week. it was the first time I've seen him since Christmas, so we were just kind of shootin' the breeze much more than I normally do when I am by myself - good to see him though.

goob · 04-29-2008, 02:27 PM

Congrats on the job, thats great news.

And yet another excellent workout, especially on the RDL's..

Archangel · 04-29-2008, 04:38 PM

Awesome w/o's and Congrats on the job Brother Scar!!!

**Gazhole** · 04-30-2008, 08:08 AM

Looking solid, as always, Scar

Congrats on the job also!

Workouts are put together really well lately, they look a lot of fun

nadirmg · 04-30-2008, 06:51 PM

thanks on both occasions goob. yeah my RDLs just kind of came out of left field, funny thing is I think I could have gone heavier...this 5x5 is doing wonders for strength!

thanks Gaz. these workouts I think have been the most fun I have done yet, they really get the blood pumpin'! and hey, I wouldn't have 2 clues on how to construct a workout plan if it weren't for you guys!

thanks nads. I'm catchin' ya! deads seem to come naturally to me more so than a lot of other movements for some reason

another pretty decent workout. I added in the pullups because the lat pulldown machine was being used, so I thought I'd give the target rep setup a go, and let's just say my lats, bis, and grip were fried after that! my DB press suffered because of it in my opinion because all my other lifts were stronger than normal.

I am also pumped about the PR on the squats..oh so close to 200!!! next time I hope.

DOMS · 05-01-2008, 07:11 PM

Great job on that PR! I assume that they're ATG?

Witchblade · 05-01-2008, 07:19 PM

Nice squats and bodyweight movements.

katt · 05-01-2008, 07:47 PM

Aw man Scar - you coulda totally done 200 on those squats....

Nice pullups.. I'm jealous..

goob · 05-02-2008, 05:22 AM

Great workout scar. 30 pullups is pretty damn good, and excellent squats dude.
