Oh and this rather attractive older woman came in about the same time I did. She appeared to be around 50-55, average looking shape. She goes to the bench and does a set with just the bar, then loads 65 lbs and proceeds to do three sets of 10. Then she did smith machine inclines, again with a 10 loaded on either side another three sets of 10. After that she did close grip bench supersetted with lying tricep ext, then finished off with rope pushdowns and overhead extensions. I was impressed. Hmmmmmmmm

Repeat after Jenny.... eye on the prize, eye on the prize, eye on the prize

HaHa.... Jenny and O are responsible for that......

LOL! I have a frosted pop tart after every workout now. Have you seen the grape ones? omg! They are to die for!!! YUM!

Pop-Tarts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I looooove Pop-Tarts!

I am very observant Yeah 5/3/1 is a great program.

I'm sticking with 5/3/1 indefinitely, but when I do go off I probably will try DC again. Island Girl does DC to a t, when I did it I never tried the widowmakers. But the basic concept is rest pause. You warm as usual then do an all out set. You pick a weight that you can only do 8 reps with. Rack it, take 12-15 deep breaths, try to do 2-4 reps, rack it. Take 12-15 deep breaths, do 1-3 more reps.... done. Your try to continually up the weight.

That's my secret weapon! Single glass of red wine is good for your heart, and it's only 4g of carbs

Sorry to hear about your shoulder being a pain again. Next week maybe for "deload week" you should just do your favorite "cardio" and rest up.

This week? Today, dude! Spring is here!

 

[PreMier]

what do you think agitated it all? time to rest

That's cause we invented them, my dear, sweet, awesome canukian friend!


I can't have pop tarts...and the strawberry frosted ones are all over the place here...400 cals in those dam things...

 

[Pylon]

You can have them, you just gotta earn them, son!

 

[davegmb]

i hate injuries, thank you pain killers

 

[JerseyDevil]

Yeah maybe. We'll see. The wrist has already healed, the arthritis in the elbow is an ongoing thing. Haven't had much problem the last 2 years since I reduced volume, but every once in awhile it flares up for no apparent reason. The shoulder is the concern. A nuisance injury for sure. I think doing CG bench and one arm extensions wasn't a good idea.

This week? Today, dude! Spring is here!

Yeah baby! Hopefully the Philllies pitching staff lives up to at least 70% of the expectations!

See below

...he's single....

So much porn, so little time

i hate injuries, thank you pain killers

I try to use pain killers sparingly. But ice and NSAIDS have been my friends the last couple of days!

Cardio
Treadmill, 30 minutes brisk pace, 20 minutes LISS

 

[yellowmoomba]

Bummer about the injuries...............

 

[Pylon]

Yeah baby! Hopefully the Philllies pitching staff lives up to at least 70% of the expectations!

Is that even possible? (The answer is yes, I think.)

In most seasons, the Cards rotation (Wainwright, Carpenter, Garcia, Westbrook, Lohse) would be looked at as one of the deepest in the league. Now they are just trying to keep pace with PHI...

 

[IslandGirl]

Dang! Between you and I and our injuries. lmao

Heal up! Maybe a cruise is in order. ??? Rest up those joints and all.

I sprained my wrist once and whoa, that sucked! I could barely drive, open doors, using a can opener.....sucky! I wear wrist wraps now. I don't take any chances.

oh...wait....




Cruise? Did someone say.....cruise? When? Where??

 

[JerseyDevil]

Between injuries and double posting, we are a mess!

Is that even possible? (The answer is yes, I think.)

They need to stay healthy and that is tough. Everyone is talking Phils pitching, but I'm worried about the bats!

Cruise? Did someone say.....cruise? When? Where??

Maybe one day we could put together an IronMag cruise. Now that would be one long group cheat meal!
