Sweet. Drank a little? What's that 8+ beers, few JD's, couple of B52's????

Always fun to cut loose...

Scarface30 · 11-13-2007, 04:43 PM

goob yeah somewhere around there. a little bit more vodka and tequila though

11-13-'07
Upper B - Back at it!

Bentover BB Rows RI 120
2x135/4,4
2x145/4,4
1x155/3

strength is a little lower, I blame it on the not much sleep weekend + not having been to the gym in a good 5 days.

A) T-bar Rows
1x1.75 plates/10
1x2 plates/8
1x1.25 plates/6
B) Pullups RI 75
3xBW/8,5,5

A) Supine Rows
2xBW/10,8
1xBW+10/6
B) Stiffarm Pulldowns RI 75
2x75/10,8
1x85/6

Incline DB Shrugs RI 60
2x55lb DBs/8,8

stretched.

not a bad workout, not my best pulling workout ever, but it wasn't horrible. a few things I think I could go up in weight in, like the T-bars and stiffarms.

vortrit · 11-13-2007, 09:47 PM

Looks like a fairly decent workout. I like the incline shrugs. I haven't done them in forever.

**Gazhole** · 11-14-2007, 07:49 AM

Looks pretty awesome to me, man. You need to drink more next time

SamEaston · 11-14-2007, 10:30 AM

Nice T-bars Scar!

I really should add them to my next program!

You seem to have been doing Supine Rows for like, forever! Aren't you bored of them by now?

2nd'ed, looks like a pretty awesome job to me. Those supines are hard.

Scarface30 · 11-14-2007, 02:30 PM

vortrit thanks man. yeah this is the first time I have done them and like really like them.

Gaz thanks dude. yeah next time, I'll throw some Jagerbombs in at the beginning,

Sam thanks Sam. yeah I have been, but I find out of all the pulling movements I do, supines hit my back the best - well, besides pullups.

goob thanks. Supines aren't bad, once you get used to them. my pulling is my best thing, so that could be why

.

katt · 11-14-2007, 05:55 PM

I haven't tried those Supines yet...

maybe I should put them in on my next change up...

Scarface30 · 11-14-2007, 06:08 PM

katt supines are definitely where it's at if you have not tried them yet!

11-14-'07
Lower B

RDLs RI 120
1x205/4
3x225/4,3,4
1x230/3

these felt really good tonight, I could have got 235 but didn't want to sacrifice form.

A) Bent-knee Good Mornings
3x45 (bar)/9,9,10
B) Lunges RI 60
3xBW+50lbs/9,8,8

Cable Crunches RI 45
1x115/12
2x125/10,10

Static Holds RI 60
3x75lb DBs/50 seconds, 40 seconds, 40 seconds

walked home - 15 minutes.

I was pleased with my deads tonight, I am not 100% sure but the 230 MIGHT be a PR, I could check through my last journal and see, but I am too lazy. plus I really don't think it is lol.

GMs are still killing the ol' spine when the bar sits on it. I just got so frustrated with them tonight that I just went through the pain. I know I could go up in weight, but then that's just more weight

. I also had to do them from the bench press because both squat racks were being used

.

DOMS · 11-14-2007, 06:36 PM

Solid workout, man!

You made a good call about the RDLs. Better safe than sorry on those mofos.

How are the GMs hurting your spine? Are you referring to your neck?

Scarface30 · 11-14-2007, 06:47 PM

thanks man, deads are not to be messed with!

I don't have huge traps, so right at the base of my neck, kind of between my traps on either side, is where it sits and hurts because there is nothing between my spine and the bar. my spine isn't protruding out of my back or anything, lol, it's just that the only thing separating my spine and the bar is the skin.

DOMS · 11-14-2007, 06:56 PM

Have you tried using a towel?

vortrit · 11-14-2007, 07:32 PM

Nice work. Great job on the RDL.

yeah a buddy of mine mentioned that...I might give it a try next time, thanks.

vortrit thanks man

SamEaston · 11-15-2007, 06:41 AM

Or maybe hold the bar a bit further down your back??

goob · 11-15-2007, 02:54 PM

Oh, shit! Nice RDL's and crunches are off the fucking scale!

Great job!

Scarface30 · 11-17-2007, 02:31 PM

Sam yes, that might be a good idea too, thanks!

goob thanks man, I was very happy with my RDLs. might have had a little help from a cutie in front of me, if you catch my drift

so today was meant to be my lower quad dominant, but me and some friends from school went across Nova Scotia to the Bay of Fundy to a pretty renown (sp?) place in NS to go hiking at Cape Split. 2.5 hour hike each way, through the forest and along the coast, on the edge of 50+ metre high cliffs in a few parts. excellent trek I have to say, cardio and leg workout all rolled into one.

at one point at the end of the hike me and a couple buddies wanted to climb down through this gully. wasn't the best idea we ever had. being the exploring type, geology hammer in my hand I wanted some rock samples lol. well the gully walls rose above us about 40 metres only halfway down, and the lowest point we were able to make it was probably 60-65 metres from the top. the journey up proved to be almost deadly because it was snowing a tad bit and the ground was muddy part way up. the adrenaline was flowing and my legs never worked harder! scary at the time, had a good laugh and a feeling of accomplishment at the end though. nothing like having the feeling of rolling down a gully 80 metres down into the ocean. I am pooped!

so that's my story for the day, haha.

Scarface30 · 11-17-2007, 02:45 PM

oh yeah, I'll probably get some pics up when my friend sends them.

Scarface30 · 11-18-2007, 05:39 PM

here are the pics. the one of the gully we climbed down does not give justice to how crazy it was.

the pic at the end I thought looked really cool with the rays from the sun over the water.

and I just realized this is the first time I've posted a picture of my on here, well I am the guy in the green hat, the shortest one lol.

Witchblade · 11-18-2007, 06:59 PM

That place looks damn nice!

**Gazhole** · 11-19-2007, 02:52 AM

Ditto, thats definitely worth the effort in getting there.

Cool. Looks like the rugged costal land of Ireland or Scotland. Also looks bloody freezing.

Wow - cool photos! That looks like some crazy hiking!!
