Sore abs were from all those chinups. Merry Christmas yourself!

RasPlasch · 12-24-2008, 01:49 PM

I didn't know chinups worked abs.

My biceps are absolutely trashed now too, lol.

They do to a degree - during any of those motions you should be tensing your core to keep it stable. You just did a crap ton of chins, so you should have had them tensed for quite a while.

Mine are actually sore from corrective work that I did a couple of days ago even though it had nothing to do with my abs. I just had my core tensed for every single movement which resulted in them being trashed the next day.

RasPlasch · 12-27-2008, 09:37 PM

Thats kinda interesting. Thanks for the info!

Chest and Tri's

Flat Bench Press
I decided to skip the reps at 205 and 215 to see if I could get a weight more then 225.

135 - 7
185 - 4
225 - 2 easy
235 - 1

Nice.

CG Bench Press
185 - 5
200 - 3

Dips Finally got my dip belt for Christmas
BW + 25lbs - 8
BW + 35lbs - 6
BW + 45lbs - 5

Tricep Extensions

I did 2 sets then quit before the third one. After my family christmas party, 2 people got the flu, or puking and diahreah (spelling) I have felt nauseous since dinner time but I haven't puked yet. I felt nauseous the whole workout, but I managed to put in some good work. I still feel shitty but not as shitty. Hopefully I don't yack.

RasPlasch · 12-28-2008, 12:00 AM

Fuck, I just puked my guts out lol.

2 large porkchops, 1 large potatoe, 4-5 glasses of milk plus protein powder all into the toilet.

I feel 95% better though. I'm gonna smoke a bowl and try to eat some more.

RasPlasch · 12-30-2008, 02:01 PM

I weighed 146lbs with all my clothes on today. So i've lost about 6lbs since I got this stomach virus. 6lbs in 4 days? wtf. This has made me think.... I don't understand how people can be overweight or have eating problems. I have problems keeping my weight.

**P-funk** · 12-30-2008, 07:45 PM

expect to lose weight if you have a stomach virus. you puke, you sweat and you get dehydrated when you are sick. once you get some fluids back in you, your weight will normalize.

Quoi · 12-30-2008, 11:33 PM

Ras you weigh almost as much as me

Anyway that sucks about the stomach virus. You feeling better now?

Rubes11 · 12-31-2008, 01:12 PM

you can have the 10lbs i have to loose

RasPlasch · 12-31-2008, 01:19 PM

Ahhh I wish Rubes, those 10lbs would do me some good haha.

But yeah I finally got my appetite back last night. And I was hungry ALL day. I literally ate the whole day, and I gained back 4lbs already. So I'm happy. Today I'll hopefully gain back the rest. Today is New Years so I'm not going to lift even though I'm ready too. I will go to the gym tomorrow probably.

How much do you weigh Quoi?

Quoi · 12-31-2008, 02:34 PM

On a good day 142! But today 139 hmmmm.......

Rubes11 · 12-31-2008, 02:37 PM

RasPlasch · 01-06-2009, 04:46 PM

Oh I know you will. You are a strong man. I kind of feel that its a pointless exercise, but I'm good at it and its fun to me so I do it a lot, haha.

Rubes11 · 01-06-2009, 05:45 PM

its not totaly pointless its a lift that works more then one muscle.

RasPlasch · 01-06-2009, 09:17 PM

True. I just feel that something like deadlifting or squatting would be a lot more useful then bench pressing.

January 6

So basically the laying version of what you did lol

Yeah, lol. I didn't know whether to call them extensions or skull crushers.

I never do them laying down cause they irritate my shoulder. I was wrestling with a friend. We fell to the ground and all 200lbs of him fell on me and almost broke my shoulder. Ever since I haven't been able to do them laying down haha.
