dam...that was last night?
How was it? she looked hot! When's the encoure show?

Pylon · 09-27-2007, 03:22 PM

Not sure. Probably this weekend sometime. It's worth a look for sure. Life was OK as well, not as good as B.W.

Pylon · 09-30-2007, 12:01 PM

Back home. Overall a decent trip. Got in a couple of workouts, should be ready to start lifting again tomorrow.

Scarface30 · 09-30-2007, 12:03 PM

good stuff Pylon

glad you had a good trip!

Doing well. Finally got a good night's sleep. Happy to be home.

You know, those long trips didn't used to take so much out of me. I guess I'm out of practice.

Pylon · 10-01-2007, 03:23 PM

....And, since it is the first and all, I finally got back under the iron...

WU -bike, 5 min

OH BB Press
45 x 10, 10 (WU)
95 x 6
105 x 6
85 x 10
65 x 10
45 x 12

Cheat laterals
20 x 6
25 x 6
15 x 10
10 x 10
10 x 12

Upright rows
75 x 6
75 x 6
55 x 10
55 x 10
45 x 12

BO lateral raise (BB)
80 x 6
90 x 6
70 x 10
70 x 10
50 x 12

BB shrug
90x 6
110 x 6
90 x 10
90 x 10
80 x 12

Weighted decline crunch
25 x 10
25 x 10
10 x 20

air bike x crunch
bw x 10, 10, 20

This is the start of the 3 month program in M&F's last issue. I'm frightened by how far my strength/muscular endurance have fallen. I take heart in knowing they should ramp back up fairly quickly. I hope....

Overall feeling pretty good. My left shoulder is already really tight, but it's down in the delt (instead of the trap, where the problems were before). It'll be ok, I think, but I'm not likely to be able to raise my arm tomorrow. Just a hunch.

PreMier · 10-01-2007, 03:25 PM

nice workout man. lots of volume

Burner02 · 10-01-2007, 03:50 PM

back in the saddle!

b_reed23 · 10-02-2007, 01:37 AM

nice weight on your decline crunches...gotta love that burn!!

Scarface30 · 10-02-2007, 05:47 AM

nothing like making an awesome return to the iron!

great workout!

Pylon · 10-02-2007, 07:58 AM

Thanks, all. It was OK, but will get better.

And no, I can't raise my arms this morning. Good times.

Squeaked out a win last night, which puts us at 5-1. Before last night, there were three teams at the top (us and 2 others). We've already beaten one, we play the other next week. I think they played each other last night, but not sure. Either way, next week is a huge game for us.

katt · 10-02-2007, 08:00 AM

Anyone that even attempts a M&F workout is a winner in my book!

Nice volume there!

Pylon · 10-02-2007, 11:49 AM

Tuesday w/out...week 1, day 2...

WU - bike, 10 min

Lying DB tri extensions

15s x 10
15s x 10

My tris were already a little worn out after yesterday, so it took a few lifts to get them going. My arms were baked by the end of the last set. The weights are still lower than I would like, but the workload was good. Had a tough time washing my hair. My arms just don't want to go up that high right now.

b_reed23 · 10-02-2007, 12:45 PM

80lb on BB curl?? SWEET

Thanks, B. It's not bad, but for only 6 reps, I feel weak if I'm only in double digits. They went up pretty easy (not to failure for sure), so next time I'll start with 100, I think. Stupid ego....

Burner02 · 10-02-2007, 01:52 PM

dang...yer up on me, son!
Good job!

Scarface30 · 10-02-2007, 03:10 PM

awesome work Pylon

!

that's some high volume there!

Triple Threat · 10-02-2007, 07:33 PM

Wow.

I didn't think you did high volume workouts. Nice. I'm curious to see what the leg workouts look like.

PreMier · 10-02-2007, 07:52 PM

yea, that is a lot of volume, nice

Pylon · 10-02-2007, 09:47 PM

Yes, some of my faithful friends have indeed noticed the uptick in volume. I'm just trying to make up for lost time. I figure it will balance out for doing next to nothing for the last year or so.

The volume is a different w/out, to be sure. I like HIT, but this is a nice change. (Don't tell Archie, he'll never forgive me.) On the down side, my arms and shoulders are already begging me to stop moving. I figure I'll be in bad shape for the week, maybe by Monday next week I'll be able to move all my limbs. I'm assuming my legs are going to be non-functional by Saturday morning. Should be fun!

Pylon · 10-03-2007, 06:00 AM

ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow

Yeah, I'm a little sore....

b_reed23 · 10-03-2007, 02:06 PM

Isn't it a wonderful/masochistic feeling when you abosolutly DREAD getting anything off of a top shelf?? How are those shoulders doing (dumb question huh?)

Burner02 · 10-03-2007, 02:51 PM

so...do you ever make the misstake of telling co-workers that you are sore from working out...so they poke you where its tender?

I need to learn to keep my big yap shut....however...revenge is sweet...when said poker...starts working out and can't keep HIS big yap shut...payback is a biotch!

Archangel · 10-03-2007, 03:23 PM

VOLUME??? LOL, Best wishes Brother Pylon, as long as your happy, I'm happy!!!

Excellent w/o's too my Friend, volume is nice for a change, do it to it my Friend!!!
