Billie, thanks for the tip, good one to use in hotel rooms and such when i travel.

b_reed23 · 04-17-2008, 10:46 PM

Actually...you can create a whole workout with Pilates..and if you do it right, you will have DOMS just like a weighted workout

Archman Training - Legs (A)1

Free Squats (narrow stance): wu 135# - 8; 185# - 6, 8

45 Degree Leg Press (wide stance): 360# - 8, 450# - 6, rp 2

SLDL: wu 135# - 8; 185# - 6, 6

Glute Ham Raise: bw - 4, 5 (never done these before, what a biotch!!!)

Standing Calf Raise: 220# - 10, 10

Cardio: Bike, 8 second sprints, 12 second rest peddling. Did this for 3:12, then peddled out at normal pace to 20 minutes.

Notes: not doing standing calf raises on standing calf raise machine anymore. Don't like the feel or lack of smoothness. From now on, i'll do them on the squat/sled machine or whatever the hell you call that thing. Glute ham raises are really hard. I felt like a bozo doing them the first time. caught myself using momentum at the bottom a couple times.

The bike workout. "Built", the moderator in the diet forum put me on to these and has helped me very much with my diet as it pertains to diabetes and lifting. Thanks Built!!!

b_reed23 · 04-21-2008, 10:04 PM

how does the bike workout help with the diabetes?? Just curious

workout looks great!!!!

I like doing the 100's as a warmup. Not too taxing but gets things started.

boilermaker · 04-22-2008, 09:39 PM

nice DB rows Boiler!!!!

boilermaker · 04-25-2008, 09:00 AM

Billie: Thank you. Your trip looked like a lot of fun!!

I went to the tigers/rangers game yesterday. Tigers won! It was a day game. Then I got together with a couple friends and went walleye fishing on the St. Claire River. Not as good as I hoped, but got a few marble eyes for some good eatin'! Today, back to the gym for Push day.

Dennis, I'm really liking it. If muscle soreness is any indication, I feel fully worked over after each session. Then, I should have known, Archman has never steered me wrong before

Archangel · 04-25-2008, 05:27 PM

Brother Boiler, w/o's are lookin GOOD my Friend, glad your liking them!!! I appreciate the kind words!!! Keep it up and I hope all is well with you and yours!!!

SamEaston · 04-27-2008, 07:24 AM

Hiya BM

I LOVE standing BB military, it's one of my favourite exercises! Hope the DOMS didn't get you too bad!

Archangel · 04-27-2008, 10:40 AM

Lookin good Brother Boiler, can I suggest not doing a dropset though my Friend??? Stay w/the same weight and push yourself, you'll be happier that way and you'll respond better too imo!!!

boilermaker · 04-27-2008, 12:30 PM

Archie: Yes sir, I'll stick with just the 2 sets from now on

Thanks for your help on this program.

Sam: Thank you for stopping by

. Yeah, they felt good. I'll keep doing them!

CB: Thanks, I'll swing by and check out the results!!

Archman leg training tonight -

boilermaker · 04-28-2008, 08:45 PM

Archman Training - Legs (B)1

Free Squats (Wide Stance): 185# - 8; 205# - 8 (Core feeling more solid on these. Start at 205 nt)

45 Degree Leg Press: 410# - 8; 450# - 8 (Start at 450 nt)

DB SLDL: 80# - 8, 8 (new exercise for me - liked)

Seated Leg Curls: 120# - 8; 140# - 8 (start 140 nt)

notes: felt great today. haven't been over 200 on squats in a long time, that felt good. Saw a girl doing a cool looking exercise today. She was lying on the floor and had a barbell with plates in a static hold (picture top of bench press) then rotating her hips to swing her legs and touch the barbells with her toes. Don't know how hard that is, i'd imagine pretty tough, but it looked pretty nice!!
