J/K! It's a band called "Tech Nine" I am not sure how famous they are, probably not to considering they are playin in Ashland.

I go back to the gym on Monday, I alway's have the weekends off. But sometimes I do cardio stuff. This week I think I am going to have about the same routine....So Mon. will be chest, I will do Reg. Bench this week and try it how you suggested.

Well..I am going to get things goin, It's Super Bowl Sunday!..Yeay! Go BEARS! I am really a Bronco fan, but I think it would be cool if the Bears win it. But I also like Peyton, so it's win..win either way!...

Have a great day!

Sounds like you girls had fun..thats cool.."Tech Nine" never heard of them but there name sounds pretty cool,I guess.

Yeah,I'm not a fan of either teams but you've gotta love super bowl sunday...Actually I just love the commercials

Weekends off are awesome,do the work during the week and enjoy the weekend.But I'll talk to you later and tell me how those pointers come along...

Well, I tried doing bench using the tips you gave me and I have to say it felt better. I didn't go up in weight yet, but I think I might be able to soon. I felt like the hand position was much better....Thank You!...

Hopefully I will get better at it! I am going to work a little harder on the delt's too! I was thinking I should do the Bent over row's, what do you think would be best for hitting the rear delts?

LT81 · 02-06-2007, 12:09 PM

Glad I could help a bit.Yeah,I would say bar placement in hands makes the most difference.With that and keeping your upper back pressed aganist the pad as hard as possible really makes a difference.Its funny cause I know I'm in the right position when I feel the most uncomfortable,ha.Not just laying on the bench like a log.
Bent rows should be in everyone's arsenal.I'd try and hit all the variations of mixed grip, hands down and even palms up(puts more stress on the bicep,but very effective).Single arm w/ dumbells is always a favorite also.
Rear delt work i like using dumbells.Personally I don't touch any machines for anything so I like using dumbells for these.Try laying on an incline bench (at about the same angle you would do presses)but face the other way with stomach towards the pad, and pick your feet up.Then raise laterally,put take it easy cause its a true isolation.Second I like to go to a decline bench,lock only my legs in standing up,bend over a do some other raises(to the side).But what this does is keep you from using your body to swing up the weights,and truly use rear delts.
If you want more I could add to these,but just happy that your using my advice.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention I was adding some pix of myself in the members gallery and seen your very muscular shot of your back.It's pretty impressive seems like you have some good delts going on there missy.....

Billie7 · 02-06-2007, 01:39 PM

Thank you again for the help...I appreciate it!...

I will be doing the Row's and mixing up the grip. The one laying on the incline bench sounds interesting, might try that too.

Thanks for the comment on my back pic!...

Hey thats what friends are for(ok you can say that was corny, I know)
See you later

hahaha....A little corny, but that's ok!...

TTYL....

billie, if you try doing military presses from the back side (VERY CAREFULLY), you'll not only beef up your rear delts but the entire deltoid region overall. You must remain steadfast in your from, however, and never let the weight drop past your earlobes. It's a good exercise, you just need to be very careful with it. I do those right up to my final contest week, and my shoulder are my best feature on stage front, side and back.

Are you talking about reg. Military press with dumbbells (seated)? Or Barbell behind the head?

juggernaut · 02-06-2007, 04:37 PM

Barbell behind the head

Billie7 · 02-06-2007, 04:42 PM

I have done them some, but not much lately. I have been doing Push Press instead. I do DB Millitary press, Plate raises, push press, lateral raises, seated one arm lateral raise, and going to do Row's too.

LT81 · 02-07-2007, 11:59 AM

Ha...Bingo didnt even think of that..funny.Oh yes the wonderful leg day,I can see it now,walking all slow,not bending the knees and absolutely hating stairs..at least thats how I feel after a heavy lower day.Especially if I do calves I tend to walk like a T-Rex after that....

haha...Exactly! There is like 4 steps to go up to get out the front door...ugh! I am doing squat's, lunges and leg extentions and probably standing calf raise. I am hopefully going to up the weight on squat's, I did 135 for 2 set's at 4-5 reps, so this week I am going to try for a least one set at 145 for at least 3 reps...

you like leg day? What the hell are you crazy or masochistic?? I can be rest assured to puke at least once a month while doing legs. It's fun!
Walking out of the gym and the following day are the greatest-my wife and son have a field day on insults with me. The usual "you do it to yourself" all the way up to pairing a walking crack with my bald head. They get pretty creative at times.

chest was probably the biggest pain in the ass for a very long time. I did however beat it and I did by way of a routine I found in an old Ironman mag dated back about 30 years ago. I had to try it. It worked beautifully. It concentrated on one day of heavy compound movements and another day of chest but with isolation moves. I went on this routine and brought up about 2 inches with ridiculous definition. All other bodyparts took a backseat to maintenance while I did this. It worked. Now, chest is my favorite day.

You are Crazy! 20 degree's..No way! I am a warm weather girl, 90+ and I'm happy! I wouldn't mind training outside, but only if it's a least 70!...

It'll make you tough though!..Good for you!...

hahaha...My girls aren't really into what I do..to busy doing girly things. But my husband and I make fun of each other, like two day's after heavy lunges and you feel like someone kicked you in the ass several times, tryin to sit can be quite funny!...

I have never done stiff leg deads, I do reg. dead's though. I actually just went up 10lbs, now at 175...which is not great! But have only been workin on them for a few months now. I did them a little more than a year ago, and had some back and hip trouble, so had to lay off....

It feels great to do them again!..
