vortrit I tried using some clean towels, but it didn't help

. thanks!

Triple thanks man. it wasn't hurting my back as in I had pain there from the movement, but only where the bar was resting on my spine.

Arch thanks a lot! no worries Arch, sometimes it can't be helped. I hope everything is 100% fine for you and your family very soon.

Gaz thanks dude. yeah I tried flexing my traps and it seemed to help a bit, but it was awkward having them flexed like that for the whole set. it still worked though.

PreMier

it's definitely on my list that's for sure.

Delusional · 10-28-2007, 10:47 AM

awesome workout scar ! yeah the good mornings also hurt my back so i know what you mean. just hurts right where its resting but ive started to get used to it. congrats on your PR, looking good bro keep it up

**Gazhole** · 10-29-2007, 03:58 PM

Hmm, try less flexing them, and just moving your arms to a position where they just automatically press against the bar?

Maybe im talking shit, i dunno, lol

Most likely . . . .

j/k

Scar - use the pad if you need it. Good Mornings are a great exercise but (i feel) take alot of focus to stop from rounding the back. Anything that distracts you from that focus should be avoided IMO.

I use a pad

1quick1 · 10-30-2007, 10:21 AM

Looking good man

Maybe you should try dirty towels. Just kidding.

Scarface30 · 10-30-2007, 05:15 PM

Gaz I'll give that a try next time. I was messing around with hand positions last night (yup, left myself open there!) and I think I found one that would help

Sam I would use a pad, the only thing is that they have none at my gym

1q1 hey man, you seem a little familiar..have we met before? lol. thanks!

vortrit lol, yes that might help...(no)

Upper B - As soon as I start making titles, I stop because I can't think of anything good

Bentover BB Rows RI120
1x135/4
2x145/4,4
2x155/3,3

A) T-bar Rows
1x 1 plate +35/10
1x 2 plates/8
1x 2 plates +10/6
B) Pullups RI 60
3xBW/9,5,5

A) Supine Rows
2xBW/10,8
1xBW+10/6
B) Stiff Arm Pulldowns RI60
2x75/10,8
1x85/6

Incline DB Shrugs RI 45
2x55s/8,8

I seriously needed this workout. 2 of my midterms were returned today, the one I thought I did well on I did do well on...the other, it destroyed me!

it destroyed everyone in the class as a matter of fact, so what should that tell the prof? well he made us do it again, not marking it this time, but in lab today made us do it again, then made us do something else that was due at the end of class, then gave us another assignment due next week! he's a hell of a teacher when you're actually out in the field, but put him in the classroom and he's shit, yet he's mad at us? - that pisses me off.

on top of everything, I don't understand what we did in the lab today.

I forgot I normally use RIs of 75 instead of 60 which caused my pullups to suffer.

DOMS · 10-30-2007, 05:22 PM

I hated two particular types of teachers. Those that were bad and didn't realize it. And those that had to "win". Sorry to hear you got a shitty teacher.

Good job on forcing in the solid workout!

goob · 10-30-2007, 06:49 PM

Awesome rowing scar. Looks like you are pretty strong all over in pull workouts.

Scarface30 · 10-30-2007, 08:33 PM

DOMS yeah, I hear that. makes me wonder why sometimes? thanks though, I needed that workout bad.

goob thanks goob. I have to agree my pulling is far better than my pushing.

Pylon · 10-30-2007, 09:10 PM

Yup, had my share of bad teachers too. Can't fix em. Just feel better about knowing you will out earn them your first year after graduation. Probably.

PreMier · 10-31-2007, 09:14 AM

nice workout bro, you sore yet? haha

Scarface30 · 10-31-2007, 05:26 PM

Pylon yeah, can't be helped I guess. just have to learn how to deal with it.

PreMier thanks man. yeah my rear delts and lats are feeling it today!

10-31-'07
Lower B

RDLs RI 120
1x185/4
2x205/4,4
2x225/4,3

A) Leg Press
3x270/8,9,9
B) 1-Legged RDL RI 60
1xBW/10 each leg
2xBW+25/8 each leg*PR

I know, I know, RDLs then 1-LRDLs in the same workout. my glutes are fried! I plan on changing this around though, I am going to switch my Lower A superset with my Lower B superset that way I am not doing 2 RDLs in the same workout.

Cable Crunches
2x115/10,10
1x125/8

Static Holds
3x75lb DBs/50 seconds, 45 seconds, 45 seconds

stretched.
did a very long farmer walk on the way home with groceries

2.5kg bag of oats, cheese, and yogurt in one hand, 4 litres of milk and eggs in the other, ~250m walk.

so I am not sure what is wrong with me. I have this sweating problem where as some days I sweat like crazy, and other days nothing at all

. this week so far has been a no-sweat week in the gym, even though I am at the same intensity I don't get a good sweat on. this might sound dumb, but does that REALLY matter? I mean we eventually get used to our workouts, but this is only the second or third week.

Pylon · 10-31-2007, 10:07 PM

I'm the same way. I used to judge my workload by the amount of sweat. Now I do it by the amount of nausea.

**Gazhole** · 11-01-2007, 06:34 AM

RDLs and 1LegRDLs in a single session? HAMDEATH!

Lol, nice going, i second the comment up there - your pulling strength all round is awesome.

And dont sweat the sweat thing (har har) i think theres other factors in it other than workload. Sometimes im drowning in it and other times its just a light smattering, i seem to sweat more when im tired...

goob · 11-01-2007, 02:40 PM

Great job. Deadlifting especially, and those cable crunches are hardcore.

Witchblade · 11-01-2007, 06:10 PM

The sore rear delts and your pull/push ratio lead me to believe you have a very healthy shoulder girdle.

That isn't something I could say of most bodybuilders.

PreMier · 11-01-2007, 10:45 PM

sweating like a whore in church?

i cable crunching the stack now, you better catch up

vortrit · 11-02-2007, 12:50 AM

Nice work out. Good looking cable crunches!

Scarface30 · 11-02-2007, 12:23 PM

Pylon lol, yeah now I am realizing that the amount of sweat doesn't indicate a good workout.

Gaz thanks man! yeah my glutes and hams are still feeling it today. worse than yesterday actually.

goob thanks dude, out of the big 3 deads are probably my best, even though they aren't superb.

Witch really? I did not know that. do me a favour and become a PT with many certs when you're older, or perhaps a great physio doctor, something of the sort, you definitely could!

PreMier lol...I'm working on it man, give me some time and I'll give you a run:P just kidding...hopefully though!

vortrit thanks

Upper A - Why do people wear weightlifting belts when they are only working arms??

Bench Press RI 120
1x135/4
1x145/4
1x155/4
1x160/3
1x165/2

A) Standing OH BB Press
3x60/10,8,6
B) Dips RI 75
3xBW/9,7,6

Incline DB Press RI 75
3x35lb DBs/8,8,7

A) Cable Chops
2x75/8,8
B) Bent Press RI 60
2x20/8 each side, 7 each side

walked home - 15 minutes.

so I decided to scrap the idea of supersetting incline bench press with pushups, and just stick to the incline DB press. my shoulders are absolutely dead after that workout, and I don't want to do any damage or anything.

goob · 11-02-2007, 12:29 PM

Excellent job dude. I see those bent presses are creeping up. Kudos for doing them at the end of the workout, takes balls, as they have a high destructive potential!

vortrit · 11-02-2007, 04:27 PM

Great looking workout!

katt · 11-02-2007, 08:08 PM

Nice wo scar!! The people that wear the belts while doing arms?? They probably are the same people that walk around with the ILS syndrome..

Scarface30 · 11-03-2007, 11:33 AM

goob thanks man. yeah I'm really liking the bent presses too. after all the pressing, and then those yesterday - everything was done!

vortrit thanks dude

katt thanks! yeah some people at the gym crack me up, and pardon me if I sound stupid, but what is ILS?

today was supposed to be a gym day, but a hurricane landed just off the coast of Nova Scotia and I really don't feel like walking any amount in the pouring rain and 100km/hr winds. yeah I know, call me a wuss - if it goes away by tomorrow, I'll hit up the gym then that's for damn sure!

It stands for Invisible Lat Syndrome.

People who have this walk around with their arms held out from their sides as if their lats are so big that their arms can't hang down normally.

So you're getting pelted too? It's pretty nasty here with lots of wind. Not too much rain so far, but it's expected to get worse.

Pylon · 11-03-2007, 12:08 PM

Huh....It's sunny and in the 60s here.

PreMier · 11-03-2007, 12:09 PM

i would still walk to the gym. just naked, so my clothes wouldnt get wet
