More Betterness!!

Beautiful shoulder presses man!

Most of the machines I try to use are pieces of crap and I can never tell the weight I'm lifting because they use those weird numbers (weight 1 is #1, 2 is #2, etc). The only ones I don't have a problem with are the Smiths and the Leg Press machines.

Thanks you sir!

Yeah, I'm convinced the weight isn't accurate but I log it for reference purposes only. Any cable stack varies, even the plate loaded machines that are identical to the pre-weighted machines are different, so who knows.

- walk to gym
- stretch


Stairmill:
Intervals - 2 minutes lvl 3, 2 minutes lvl 10 - 30 minutes total, 5 minute cool down

Worked up a pretty nice sweat tonight. Yay.

 

[katt]

oh man, that stairmill kills me! Great job!

 

[AKIRA]

Yeah Ive never used it. Kudos to you!

 

[tallcall]

Stair mills are great, but I have to take 2 minute rests for every one minute interval or I'm toast within 10 minutes still! I tip my hat to you sir!

 

[MCx2]

Thanks guys. Like I said before, I think it's the only challenging piece of cardio in the gym. I have to wipe that sucker down big time when I'm done.
I think the ladies on the bikes next to me were grossed out by how much I was sweating.

They said something in Spanish, looked at me, and laughed. I would have banged both of them.

Damn Cubans.

You should have banged them and then called immigration services!

They were probably wondering if you would sweat that much while screwing them. You might have missed your chance.

Good to see we're all on the same page.

- stretch

RDL's (2:00)
45 - 15
135 - 12
225 - 8
315 w/straps - 12,10,8 PR

Pullthroughs: (1:30)

That's it today. Knees were pretty sore today, 2 days of quad work is too much. Time to put all quad stuff on one day and hammy on the other. Plus I was pretty spent from the RDL's anyway. Forgot to do calves cuz I was helping someone out. Still happy with what I did.

 

[KelJu]

Jesus, you RDLs are insane. I suck major donkey balls at them, but I am getting a little better. You seem to be a glute dominant person rather than quad dominant.

Thanks man. Since I've had a balanced routine (once upon a time all I did was bench) I've noticed that I'm pull/hammy dominant. My knees are just in too bad of shape to get anything decent going in the squatting or conventional deadlift department, but I do what I can.

I feel like I'm in the same boat (except for the knees). All my pulls are many times better than my pushes (except my squats which are pretty good too). I definitely have more fun pulling.

 

[Scarface30]

workouts are looking good Repro! RDLs are solid

 

[BoneCrusher]

Have you looked at the math to see where you are in terms of strength increases? The numbers have to be pretty good ReproBro.

Just a quick update, neck has been bothering me since Sunday, trying to work the kink out of it. Hopefully be back in the gym tomorrow night.

God, I hate it when that happens!

 

[AKIRA]

Neck pains can really be a fucking drag on life itself, let alone working out. However, when I get them I really concentrate on stretching it out. Ever since I read them in my NASM book, Ive used them religiously. They really do work wonders if you dedicate 3-5 min 3x a day. There should be a shitload of links out there to show you what I mean.

 

[AKIRA]

Its been 8 days, where are you?

 

[tallcall]

Yeah, where are you, has the pain gone away, or are you now in surgery?

 

[BoneCrusher]

Where is this ReproBro off too now?

 

[Scarface30]

I was wondering the exact same thing..

 

[DOMS]

Is all well, man?
