last night as I was finishing chest I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do for my last exercise and a couple of guys were benching with bands holding the weights under the barbell so I jumped in...it was like trying to bench with a stutter :D

are you saying that the dandruff on the highest peak of Mt. Danaminjaro rivals the snow drifts of Everest?
it shows ;D
Obviously danny and SS don't need to post in this thread.Care to have an internet video throw down?
danny just goes to the gym to talk on his cell and drink smoothies.
SS is always just about to get "serious' about lifting again because he just got over his bad back,hurt shoulder,broken toenail,cut from shaving...
:D
Monday-DeadliftThat's what i use to love bout P/L......... bust your ass for an hour or so, depending how many reps of B.S i got in,3 days a weeks and eat like a pig...........now i switch off and on been doing high reps except on bench and squats but i still have a lot of joint pain. :-\
Wednsday-Rows

I feel like a million bucks joint wise. I think people really feel to realize that as a powerlifter, you dont have to go over 90% of your max to get strong. Before that 710, I hadnt pulled more than 590 since November.I'm doing heavy doubles on Monday and Friday.......no more than 90%1RM and I'll be testing my max in 3 weeks, so we'll see if this PL style I've tried works or not.
Care to have an internet video throw down?

The interrupted your posing routine?!I know. It was awkward walking outside in my posing trunks and oil. More space to work on my pop, lock and breakdance though.

Deads w/chains
reverse hypers
DB rows
BB curls
why the chainsThe chains we have add 75lbs to the bar when lifted completely, as the bar goes down, the chains pile up on the floor and the weight gets lighter, then when you lift, the chain comes up and the weight gets heavier.....
Damm you are getting soft man. Pathetic;D
LOL, someone help NW83 already!!!!!!thank u chaos-youre a true friend to me on here
Don't worry Gene, when one of them logs on they can erase all of this gimmicks posts and you'll be safe.
Alright why not.Bullshit without pics.

great lifts the other day, you are really strong. :)
What is the chains supposed to achieve.... why dont you just add more weight ???
Because you are strongest when your arms are (near) locked out and your sticking point is having the bar near or touching your chest. So the chains would add weight as you get stronger within your range of motion - the weight would be heaviest when your arms are extended, the bar is farthest from your body and you can support the most weight. When you bring the bar down to your chest where you are at your weakest, the chain will be on the floor and the weight will be lighter than how much it measures at the top.
Hmmm.... interesting...... i still have no idea what it is supposed to achieve..... if you wanted to improve your bench why not focus on the weakest part of the lift rather than the strongest ???
You can / should / have to do both actually. The idea with the chains is that you pile on more weight than what you normally bench, which helps your body break a plateau or get used to supporting more weight, which will have a positive carryover effect on your performance in the long run. Your talking about focusing on improving the weakest part of the lift is a good thing to do as well - think of them as two sides of a coin that compliment each other.
lol@ Gene
calves, cardio and abs. easy day
seated calf raises
leg press toe presses
standing calf raises with db's

;D
What is the chains supposed to achieve.... why dont you just add more weight ???When it's all said and done........a bigger bench.
Raw squat up to 545x6You're' not allowed to post in this thread..take your crazy lifts to the P/L board ;D
SSB Good mornings
Pulldown abs
You're' not allowed to post in this thread..take your crazy lifts to the P/L board ;D
Are you challenging my position of Y Board Broski? ;D ;D ;DWell my twig legs never squatted over 405 so, um hell no ;D
Hmmm.... interesting...... i still have no idea what it is supposed to achieve..... if you wanted to improve your bench why not focus on the weakest part of the lift rather than the strongest ???The idea as I understand it "Big"MarkC, is let's say you can lift 300lbs, then when you load the bar with 245 and 75lbs in chain = 320lbs at the top of the movement right? So if you bench that, when the bar is at your chest it is maybe 260+ and at the top it's 320, so when you lift you have to "explode" to push past the weight increase as the bar lifts the chain from the floor, this helps your weak spot as well as your lockout.....now it's the same with bands, except the bands "feel" different, it's hard to explain....
315+ up to 405, is that heavy?
do any of the guys here go really heavy on traps ???

Keep in mind I use the angled smith machine so the bar comes up and back, really hits the traps good.

Did that stupid machine with someone last week. It can hold 7 or 8 plates/side and some on the handles.???
???
Just a regular smith machine with a normal bar on it, but it goes up/down at an angle.
Are you talking about the one you can do standing or seated shrugs?

Haha don't mind me - I was just being a clown. I was dying to use that somewhere in this thread and when you mentioned Tabata and knee ins in the same post, couldn't resist ;Dhaha i know, it was funny. Under Johnny's guidance once i am able to fit into size 3 leather manties we will storm the country stripping for nickels and combating the swine flu.
Haven't lifted in 2 weeks and have been eating pancakes, hamburgers or pizza for dinner every night. BAM.and yet you still post on a bodybuilding board.

That's why danielson removed all the hot naked chicks he used to post, certain people can't leave their gimmicks alone long enough to chill.

The funny thing is I have one gimmick and I told you it was me, so technically that doesn't make it a gimmick any more. So do you still think I was following you round?

My upper legs are somewhat thick. It's down near the knee that they're skinny. Comes with being tall I guess.Try squatting in the smith machine on your tiptoes.

LOL! I haven't squatted in months but Chaos' exercise sounds legit. Smith squatting usually puts a fuckton of pressure on my knees, though so I usually avoid it. Probably need to move the feet further out.The farther out you put your feet, the more likely you are to put pressure on your lower back. You'll have a tendency to push back instead of up.
Doc, doc, doc. It's Muslim men that are homosexuals. ;)
Are you a poofter?
Good work. That will work your calves and quads at the same time.In that case you should definately use that exercise!!

Does it improve receding hairlines? If so, Jamie might want to look into it.No but it may help her with her lagging calves and knock kneed thighs.

Don't go projecting gayness on others, you two. :)
With the weight balanced and counterweighted, on Smith machines, the legs are doing a lot less work. That being said..... considering how often PancakeFury has worked out in the past three months they might be a good place for him to start. :)
Dollars to donuts Fury's physique two months from now is superior to that halal food induced physique you're rocking, Rafiq Mohammed. :)
I'm lazy tonight. WTF's halal?
Muslim food. Pretty much the same as kosher food.
This is a lifting thread and I don't want to derail it but fuck any religion when a dude can't eat bacon.

I was thinking more in terms of anti inflammatory shit actually...
I was thinking that geriatric dweebs like yourself should leave the lifting to people under the age of 50. There's a backgammon game with your name written on it down at the old folks home.Test/d-bol/GH are powerful drugs!!

Get yourself a good inflammatory like aleve or naproxin.....it helps me alot.

You're both muscle hunks worthy of an MOS lap ride.

not bad for an older guy. How old are you man? I have seen on here you are anywhere from 50 to 70..lol.He's juiced to the gills, don't encourage him.
Nice man. That would snap my spine.
The most I have ever done is low 500's in squat a loooong time ago in a meet. I remember that anything after 400 always felt heavy. I never got a comfortable feeling or steadiness with the weight even though I could keep doing more. Is there a point for you that you reach where you are not confident or shaky walking it out? Maybe for you around 700? Hope that makes sense. :D

How's the summer weather up north so far? I might be in Red Deer in august to visit some family. Went 3 years ago and was cloudy the whole time :)
It's been pretty crappy so far, was nice a few weeks ago and I went to Sylvan (which you probably know is the lake by Red Deer) and got a great tan too. Hopefully it'll get better later in July/August. If you do come let me know, we can hit the gym and see if you can keep up with me ;)
It would be quite Epic. I would gladly travel north.
We could hit the waterslides at the West Mall after a solid delt workout ;D
Or I could come down, there's a World's Gym in Red Deer. Also a Gold's Gym in West Mall conveniently right by the waterpark :)
I'll start strength training right now ;)
pace today was slow as fuck. All I did was squat. for 90 minutes. Up to 930x1. Got video, but dont know if I want to post it. Had gear issues and cut it a good 2-3 inches high. Went up easy though."gear issues".........what happened, forklift run out of gas?

Squat suit is 2 sizes too big. Guess the same suit that I wore at 330 no longer fits at 287. hahaha:o

nick is a powerful man who's a model of consistency in the "iron game"...
Too bad I can't stay consistent in the dieting game. I was just entering swimmer twink status about 2 weeks ago 190 and then I stopped dieting until Monday. Went back up to like 206. Down to 195 again. :'(
Geo is a true iron veteran whos lifts would break me in half and half again. They'd break me into fourths.
I'm confused...
do you want the weight or not ?
standing shoulder press 10 front/10 behind the neck........ 20 sets total
standing shoulder press 10 front/10 behind the neck........ 20 sets total
benchmstr is a powerfu...............i try to only do 2 exercises per body part. my first exercise i start off with around 50 reps, and every set i just keep adding weight until i get to my 3-5 rep max. thats why there are so many sets. its really not that much since i only do two different movements per body part.

It's only a 4 - 5 inch ROM. You can add at least 2 plates on top of your max deadlift weight and I've done 540 lb on the deadlift (my strongest lift).Yes! the best Ive ever did was a g but i was on 10,000mgs of test and deca a week.
I only do the partial rack lockouts once every couple of months or so. But I deadlift once every 2 weeks.

I've been going non stop since the first week in July and I am thinking of taking next week off.
...oh and this question is for people that lift all the time so BF and SS don't have to answer :D

Yeah take a week off and eat/drink whatever you like. You will feel better when you go back.
Not hurt,I think I need to recharge the batteries.going to the gym seems like work lately :-\

Don't be such a drama llama Gene.that was three weeks ago we were suppose to do legs.
let me know if you wanna work out this week.
...and don't listen to chaos or mass.they are just jealous they can't work out with us.
Yeah, I wish I was "close to twink status" ::)
He's old, has two fake knees and a couple of fake knuckles and arthritis in every joint........and he still lifts more than sub-200lbers. :)
Comments like this is why I'm Gene's life coach.who said anything about twinks?

Well, being left off your "mods that are in shape" list has lit a fire under me. ;D My arms grow much easier than anything else, but i have done chest-bis in the past but never back-tris. Im wiped after back and just want to get out. The best gains i ever made on arms was training them on the same day with supersets, but im crunched for time and it seems like a waste to go in and just do arms.
Have you ever tried chest/bi's-back/tri's? worked wonders for my arms.

Crocs?
maybe a training board mod can help us out?
I know what your saying when it comes to the time constraints :-\ if I have time I'll do arms by themselves.I like supersets to make the workout quicker but I don't think my arms look as cut ::) as when I do them in the same workout but individually.
my arms were always a tough grow for me till I switched to the workout I mentioned.if I could I would do chest/bi's and back/tri's early in the week and arms by themselves on Friday.sometimes I'm to lazy and sometimes life gets in the way.
maybe a training board mod can help us out?Start a thread, you might learn something. :D

Luckily I don't attract "newbs".last night was a bad night for them......the heaviest i went on bench was 315 last night...my workout partner went to 455......some fatass and his friend decided to attempt the 455 after we walked off......it was great, you should have been there ;D

We'll see how the rest of the week goes, hopefully we get some sort of entertainment out of this.
my entertainement last night was having to remove 455lbs from that dumbasses chest ;DHow'd he manage to unrack that?
tonight these two douchebags were deadlifting 315 for sets of 1, or 2....and screaming their asses off...decked out in tapout...and ambercrombie...
they go to the water fountain, and my workout partner looks at me...smiles...and says watch this....he waits till they are on there way back...he walks up to the bar says loudly "why dont people put up their fucking weights!!" and clean and jerks the douchebags max deadlift and puts in on the rack....the douchebags stopped lifting and got on the treadmills ;D
bench
How'd he manage to unrack that?the guy was a solid "2 plate" bencher...he rolled it off with the help of his spotter....once it started going down all the spotter could do was ease the impact ;D me and my workout partner got over there and picked it up.....we told him to go to the hospital..i dont know if he did..but he wasnt there tonight.
In the past, I've had to remove 135 from some douchebags chest and when I told him to ask for a spot next time he looked like he was going to cry and he split, never to be seen again.
i think i will go around midnight....i eventually gotta do legs tonight...fuck it, i will go in the morning and do legs, and shoulders....

Still weaker than Clavin after the 500 man Red Sux fan gangbang (a la Houston 500) he did last summer.
But there are signs of life. And I have officially lifted more than this week than in the last four months combined. :D
What kind of deadlift #'s are we looking at here?
I hit 805 for a double today. 8)I tend to go alt grip @ 405 and above.
In reality, nothing impressive. I'm just getting back into the swing of things and my strength is down pretty bad. I have started using a double overhand grip and I like it, though.

What is this "cardio" you speak of ???
It's this fascinating concept where you run/walk/jog for an extended period of time. Generally done to lose weight and/or burn fat. Perhaps you should put down the second-rate lasagna and give it a whirl?
On a side note, did start talking to this smoking hot chick that always lifts when I do today. First impression went like shit, though. Fear not, for Thursday (if there's more than a sprinkling of snow on the ground I won't be there tomorrow) the situation will be rectified! :'(
I do lot's of cardio in the summer....usually it's hiking through the woods looking for my golf ball :-\

Haven't lifted consistently in a couple of months. This afternoon in my garage gym I flat benched 265 for 5 sets of 10 to get back in the groove. On rep 7 of the sixth set I got trapped and had to get the wife, who weighs 150 lbs soaking wet, to help me get the bar up so I wouldn't crush myself under such a beastly ::) ::) weight. She made some cracks about that, and I woulda bitch slapped her 'cept I couldn't raise either of my arms ;D

Going to have to respectfully request that Clavin stop posting his "workouts" in here. This isn't a thread for women to regale us with their pilates tales.Careful BF.........Clavin strongest lifts are abs and he is almost a legit ab shooter weighing in at a whopping "201.29993 lbs" ::) with a full tummy of burly man goo.

I m pretty good w the figure 8s, but i have form trouble w the cleans...i keep turning it into a curlI keep hitting my shoulder with the cleans, but I'm getting better. The get ups aren't so bad, start with a lighter KB, I use a 62lber for those.

mr nobody-figure 8s are a kettlebell exercise

Do you do the pistol squats?
ive never done em w kettlebells before-i youtube them and they look hard as hellCleans were difficult to get down, but if you want to add difficulty to your figure 8's, try "throwing" the KB when you come forward so it comes up like a swing, then "pulling" it back between your legs with your lats.
the only kettlebell stuff ive done are windmills,squats, swings, figure 8s,cleans and presses

Brutal jealousy. Just because you have no skills with the ladies, there is no reason to assume everyone else is as hopeless as you.
My suggestion is that you play the pity card. Curse you parents for giving you that horse face and you might get a sympathy shag from a down syndrome chick or something.

negative only = only lowering yourself no positive, you will have to step up on something each time, chin on chest lower for 4 secs hang at the bottom/stretch 2 secs 6-8 reps once 9 are achieved add weight these worked wonders on chest for me...only one set at the end of the workout every other workout.

Bar is at your shoulders when in squat position, as you stand you press the bar up into the air...then bring down to shoulders and squat again...etc.Dang sounds like oylympic lifting procedures.

What was chasing you?the sun....
I have a question for you ding dongsAre you lifting weights to ?
since I have all the time in the world and actually enjoy cardio, assuming I do a fast walk on a small incline on the treadmill, what is the maximum amount of time per day that I can do cardio, and how many times per week? Also base it on 2500 calories per day (which I will gladly up if need be lol)
Are you lifting weights to ?
4 sets of really hard squats in the 10 - 15 rep range will continuing burning calories for upto 36 hours..EPOC do a search on it..
They need to be hard sets to not get to the rep range then put it down but example you get to 9 reps and feel you can do no more but end up getting to that or close to 15th rep.
Deads will do the same , also short bursts of say running stairs for 12 - 15 minutes far does more for fat burning than 45 mins to 60 mins of "normal" cardio..
The beauty is it carries on burning calories for upto 36hours afterwards where is normal cardio only tends to burn it whilst you do it...
Its all in oxygen uptake , its brutal but works.
you're a good guy on here so I will just say,.....LOL ;D
please answer my question as it pertains to my type of cardio
LOL ;D
I'd say an hour in the morning and an hour later in the afternoon as it pertains to your type of cardio.

SS, are you saying Clavin is the kinda guy who keeps a 20lb db in his car to "pump up" before hittin' the clubs? Or maybe he brings a stretch tube inside the club so he can get a pump when he goes to the bathroom? Brutal leaning on the bar to try to tri-shoot....Yes!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!
Poor Clavin is always too drunk to do a push up in the mens room, so he has no choice to go through the night without a good "pump".
Yes!!!!!!!!!!Cut him some slack. There have been thousands of times people thought he was too drunk to do stuff in the men's room but he did them anyway.

Truth of the matter is my right leg has gotten bigger then my left so I'm trying to work one leg at a time to get the balance back.
How much bigger? Not being stupid, but that could be a circulation issue that you would want to get checked out...
If I was one of the G@O homos and posted a pic of myself in my underoos you would see that my right leg is bigger and more defined...it's getting better now that for the past 6-7 weeks I have been working out like this.I'm hoping by the end of the year it will look normal and I can go back to heavy legs.
...my whole right side is kinda like that.years ago I fucked up my neck playing flag football ::)
I slept in a neck brace for 6 monthes and couldn't lift for over a year.ever since then I have been bigger on my right side then my left.
Ever go to a neurologist for some tests? As that sounds like it could be related. That sucks ass.....don't feel bad, when I was in the service I played some flag football and broke my finger and pulled my groin muscle so bad it swelled up and a major vein in my leg burst......but i didn't miss a snap, baby !!!! ;DShades of Ronnie Lott. 8) I think got his finger caught in a facemask once and asked to have it cut off so he could play the next week.

Clearly overtraining shoulders, raking sum leafs hit them pretty hard I think SS stated his were sore after raking.
SS's shoulders get sore after scooping out a bowl of Butterfingers ice cream.;D Sounds like some DB laterals are in order.
.....who are we kidding,he just eats the whole carton right outta the carton and that makes his shoulder sore :D
SS isn't posting since he started Thanksgiving early........hit 3 icecream buffets and a couple of baked good stores on the way home....
It's so funny cause my non internet friends say the shit you guys do.........My friend took a vid of me running up a hill and climbing a 4 foot fence today.Pffft lightweight. ::)
It's so focking funny cause i'm tipping the scale at 276 and had steel toe boots on and they are to big to fit in the fence so I had to roll myself over the top of the fence and to top it off I tore my fav hoody ;D
Yeah baby!....Just living the dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not Zoroastrian just like the meaning and symbolism behind it and its sort of a persian pride thing I guess, I regret letting my friend do it tho :-\
Didn't think so considering we even have jews in Iran but wasn't sure so I googled:
By the way, that "5%" is more like 70%. The baby boom encouraged by Khomeini during the revolution is gonna be their downfall 8), epic irony.

If they could recognize her in the video then it's very possible.If the hoes are turned loose are you moving back man?
I know you thought that was a compliment when you wrote it so I'll take it like one :D ;D
Nice workout 8), and yes if there is a revolution in Iran and we become a democratic country I will possibly move back especially when I get older, it depends on many things though I'll make good money here in Norway and consider myself part Norwegian, maybe more Norwegian than Iranian even. I am afraid it will be another Iraq story with the US moving in and fucking up the country totally for oil money, only this time bloodier :-\..Well probably 3 things if go to a democracy, let the hoes loose and give us a discount on oil you will probably be ok. 8)

I almost went and bought a stepper for the house because I won't hit the gym probably until late afternoon due to the blizzard heading our way tonight.
I have a Precor elliptical that I'll use, in the spare bedroom, but all my other equipt is in the garage and end up with about 2.5 to 3 months that it is a bit chilly on most days to use. Too lazy to crank up the space heater.....plus there is beer in the fridge in the garage, so I might get distracted....
No room in the garage for equipment for me besides it's to cold out there. If I get one, it will go in the living room.

Strap weight on step up on something, chin on chest and arms wide lower to a 4 sec cadence when you cant control the drop stop. You do not do the positive meaning only the lowering. A great damn exercise.

Hey, how did your Marathon go?!
Hit my wall at mile 18. Thought to myself, I can't finish but I did though. Gained 11 pounds in 2.5 days but as of this morning, it's all gone (phewwwwww)
So does hitting your wall mean you really wanted to stop but didn't?
Congratulations!
I hate to run and only do so on vacation usually. Hate. It.
Good pics but did you change out of this ???

Neck turkey neck
Forearms elbow cleavage
Shins legs look to be melting
it went LOL. Na, the conditions of weather were not the greatest out on the Cape. 25mph winds, sleet/light snow. Finished in the same time as the first one I did and considering I had to wear 3 more layers than I did the first one, I'm okay with that. Hit my wall at mile 18. Thought to myself, I can't finish but I did though. Shortly after the halfway mark, I felt a blister on my foot in the right inner side. This was from feet being soaked. I had 2 pairs of socks that I carried in my pockets, changed them then. Around mile 18 or 19, changed them again.i always hit my mental wall at around 7 miles...i am not tired at all...just bored to death...i keep going though, and shuffle the songs in the mp3 player..
Legs were extremely sore that night. Next day they were a tad better so I walked on the treadmill to really stretch them out. Tuesday back to training for the NYC half marathon in April. Actually so far every month, exception of August and July (I think it will be too hot) registered for a half or full marathon up until October, which will be my last one for the year and that marathon was the first one I ever did.
Gained 11 pounds in 2.5 days but as of this morning, it's all gone (phewwwwww)

Brutal 2hr workout followed by stretching in the sauna and discussing the Arnold with Rico and Lance..... ;Dlol. I've been doing Dorian like workouts since Sept. One or two warmups and one work set to failure. Great workouts and they only take about 60-75 mins. Spot on about the rest, though. ;D

When i had been training for maybe a year or so, I did that type of workout and it really was a great way to train. Might go back to it. Do you just do the warm-ups before each body part but not with each exercise?I really like it, I don't think i'll go back to any other training style for a while. I do a warmup before each exercise, it depends on the movement. If it's something heavier like bb rows I'll do two warmups but if it's something like standing cable rows, I'll do them near the end and won't even do a warmup set.

Seriously how did you hurt your back?Initially I don't remember, just got a bit sore one day and I haven't really rested it, felt pretty good last week, then (I don't know why I did this, but I raised the pin on the squat rack 1 hole) backing out the bend in the bar clipped the pin and spun the weight.......I controlled it, did my set and reracked...I could feel it tightening........so like the idiot I am I dropped weight and did a set of 10 with 315......LOL, by the end of that set my back was way tight. ;D

Hang from a chin bar with some weight elongate the spine that helped mine and quit looking at Asian chicks pick their noses it will mess your back up twisting like that. ;D

Oh yeah, how is it annoying ::)? Douche, I hope you realize that just because someone is smaller than you doesn't mean they curl in the squat rack, do 1/4 squats, count reps really loud and dance on the treadmill.

I'm about to cut for the summer, br0. I'm going full twink like you. Only difference is that I'll still have some muscle when all is said and done. :)
I'm not about to go and search the forum to find a picture of you douche, post a recent picture now or shut the fuck up BITCH
LOL!
Little Mahmoud is getting uppity.
Seems you wont post a recent picture, my guess is you are fat and out of shape.
Gee willickers, Einstein, maybe my talking about starting a cut gave it away!
I'm not fat but I'm not cut so why bother posting a pic? Rest assured, I look better than you.
::) whatever bugs bunny
Hahaha, calm down Mahmoud A. You can't take a little ball busting?
Sure I can bro, I do it all day everyday.You should post your physique on the G&O and let us see how much of a ball buster you are tho, come on champ, you can do it.
Was already posted on there. Multiple times, br0st3ph.Sure you will :).

Not 10 reps, basically instead of jumping backwards down to the ground you jump forward, and immediately jump up on the next height.

My clumsy ass would fall over. I tried that when I trained with a pal of mine in San Diego last year, I couldn't do it. It was outside. He's like 6ft3 and made it look easy. For whatever reason, I'm afraid to try that.
I try to go alot faster then that.
Easy for twinks to move fast.

I don't know about size, but it has definitely helped in the strength department.
Something very primal about grabbing an apparatus loaded with weight and using every bit of strength to move it from point A to point B and knowing most "weightlifters" would never even attempt it.

OK, gotta tell this story.........when I was at 24hr with the old lady these two dudes were walking around with ILS, same dudes that did the 60# db bench........so they are right next to us, studding it up and they put the 60's back on the rack, I step up, grab them and start doing db curls.......they hung their heads and walked away, pwned!!! My wife said I was a dick for doing that ??? Not to mention the stud in the wife beater that kept looking at himself in the mirror......he's grunting and groaning to do some hump the air tricep pushdowns with the stack, after his set I walked over and showed my wife how to do 20 reps......the right way....of course I made a scene and said this is the wrng way as I humped the air and grunted.....he wouldn't make eye contact the rest of the time we were there.........again, she said I was being a dick. ???Poser destroyer!

No I am a capitalist and I am a member of a right wing youth party in Norway. You don't know me, PERIOD. Whats your beef anyway? I thought we were cool, anyway I'm not gonna go on like we did last time and fuck this entire thread up for the rest. Peace.
Just breaking balls, Persian Punisher. Don't get your right-wing panties in a knot.We can attend conferences, debates and social gatherings if we want. I haven't yet but considering joining some social gatherings for some networking, I'm not politically correct enough for debating, I'd turn into Hitler or something.
Out of curiosity, does your party indoctrinate you with "youth camps" like the one that got shot up does?

On ~2k calories/day going heavy on DLs every week obliterates me so I started rotating between a light week, heavy week and an off-week.I consider it a light week when I stop at 405, usually cause I'm pressed for time. Next couple weeks will be traveling alot so I won't be lifting that much, hotel gym workouts......YES!!!!!!!!! ::)

Light for me usually means I stop around 315-335 but I'm also in twink territory.

Definitely overdid it but I don't get up to New Haven to eat Pepe's too often and seeing as its the best pizza in the country you might as well eat a lot.

Why are you so wrapped up in American politics, Eurotrash? Go back to your little jackboot brainwashing camps.
F off
So what's the reason? You secretly wish you American, is that it? We already know that.
Go piss up a tree, you Norwegian douche.
I'm interested in world affairs, the US has major influence over the world through economy/military power. Why do you ask? You don't like people from other nations learning about American politics? ??? ::)
I don't like people from irrelevant countries telling me how to vote (even though I like Mr. Paul).
When the media ignore him the way they do in the US he needs to be visible online.
Why do you have sand in your vagina?
Because Europe is a gigantic cluster-fuck and in worse shape than we are yet here you are worrying about our problems.I live in Norway. Europes problems come from Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Spain. Norway is doing just fine with our smaller population and massive oil/petroleum fund, and very recently new oil was discovered in Aldous Major/Avaldsnes - possibly the 3rd largest find in Norwegian history. Hope this helps.

No shit? Yet you are much closer in proximity to those disasters.
It'll be funny when the world gets off oil. Norway can't innovate their way out of a paper bag and will probably implode.

What do you consider good for the average suburbanite? I know you're doing 700lb yoke walks so don't use yourself as a barometer.i squat close to 2.5 times bodyweight.not official depth i guess but at or below parallel 440 for 3 reps .
From what I've read, decent lifts are:
Bench 1.5 x bodyweight = good. 2 x = great
Squat 2 x = good 2.5 = great
Deadlift 2 x = good, 2.5-3 = great

still pretty damn good sir.
I tried but had to drop the weight...it was either that or do like 2 or 3 reps for the last sets.
still pretty damn good sir.Dont think I've seen one negative/old school post from you yet, did your hiatus turn you into a pussy?

Lmao!! I can see the guys that weighed 100#'s soaking wet getting their panties in a bunch....

Anyone have good superset exercises? I feel like the combos I'm running suck.
Around 190 or a little heavier right now. At most 10% bf, if I had to guess.
lol guess again. this fellla just liek lier herris and norton. This mean americano would be 6% at 184 which I tell you 100x is impossible without hormonaprobably 6% 175 or so,,10% 190 is very good if 5'7 to 5'9 clean,,,i'm around there as well.height/weight give or take a few.genetics,time in gym,years ,diet clean and little bulk here and there,work and if you hop on sauce then it goes from there.
Actually, how tall are you? 10% at 190 is excellent.
and 4 sets of that horrific machine that works the inner thighs..GRRRRRRRRRRR

fawk no. I hate that fooking machine..It's the devil

tris overhead rope extension /reverse pulldown with bar.or regular tri pushdown.
Log Clean/Presses
BF there are tons of ss moves you can do, what kind of equipment do you have access to? Do you just want something for arms?
lol guess again. this fellla just liek lier herris and norton. This mean americano would be 6% at 184 which I tell you 100x is impossible without hormona
Actually, how tall are you? 10% at 190 is excellent.
Interesting. Think I'll give this combo. a try. This is the first time I've ever tried supersetting anything so it's completely foreign to me.
Not much in terms of machine. Got the bicep curl machine, tricep pressdown and that reverse curl one. That's about it. Lots of free weights, though.
6'1 so it's nothing impressive. I'm a lanky fuck. ;D
At the end of my cut I was hovering right around 182 and, according GH15, veins running up and down your abs puts you in the 6-7% range. So I'm just guesstimating ~10% as I've still some veins in the abs. Who knows, though. Veins running up the abs and I still had a bit of pooch and love handles so it's probably higher.
No need to get angry, "Fury!"

I was listening to some hardcore Linkin Park with my beanie and sunglasses on (in the dark) when I had an epiphany for this name change.
If you have access to a high cable and low on the same machine try this....
Take some dbs to the bench and do barbell cgbp, sit up and do seated hammer curls, then go over to the cable and do pushdowns, then curls, then turn around and do overhead ext, turn back around and do reverse curls.
So its...
Cgbp
Hammer curls
Pushdowns
Curls
Overhead ext
Reverse curls
10 reps each, 3 sets progressively heavier each set.
You can thank me when your sleeves split! 8)
No breather, only a minute or so between sets of six. I had a hard time getting a drink of water my arms were so pumped. You'll be surprised at how much weight you can use, if you can breathe right. ;)
I could set you up with my favorite giant set for each bodypart, its pure torture and you'd hate me. Leg days and back days being the most insane.
I will lay out examples later, take me forever on my phone. :P
Looks ok do the deads after the rows.
Deads first.

Nj if you're looking for a little extra on shoulder add in a rotation of machines, presses-side lat-reverse pec deck. 3 sets of that after you db/barbell work.dude after posting my mind was made up to do this today and i usually warm up with calves first ,then did dumbell press,side laterals,front raise with straight bar,bent over dumbell 3 xtomes around and your fucking right 10/15 minutes and pumped to maxx,,,i shrugged after reverse on smith and dumbell to sides 5 sets total traps,,then forearms lol,,,i will try the machine version,thanx,,,i like and need to stimulate delts with more reps less weight approach boredom and stubborn part,,traps ,legs ,chest,calves,back are good respnders and bodyparts for me.
Also that's why we used to throw calves/abs on shoulder day, its like a 10 minute workout. ;D

It's full body 3x a week with progression on all exercises, when possible, with a "de-load light week" after week 4.at least you break from the norm..i'm too programmed ,,just switching bodyparts around irks me .but i have to say i been doing chaos's super/giant sets for a while even before reading here and do appreciate the info going on here and open to new routines,,pics should be in order here to see amongst us...

Everything is 3 sets, no rest between exercises only 1 minute or so between "sets", finish one bodypart before moving on to next. Exercises can be supplemented as you see fit, db's or barbell moves whatever is comfortable. At first your numbers will drop, but you'll be amazed at how fast the body adapts and you should be able to add weight every week, maybe not up to your regular numbers but up no less. No I only did these for 4-5 weeks at a time, then switched back to straight workouts. Anybody that does this will notice how much easier it is to breathe when you switch back also, believe it or not, you will be stronger, maybe not a big jump, but you'll notice a few more reps, lets say you're squatting 315 for 5-6 before, after you may hit 9-10.
Nothing exciting to report...just taking it easy on my shoulder :(
That reverse grip smith press kills my wrists, how do you do that?well as i got heavier thought same thing wtf i thought, iused slight narrow grip,i tucked my elbows in as much as i could and instead of thumb grip used hands all around and prayed,,,,it felt good tough to go heavier than traditional way,,btw i love fr pressing on smith feels good really hits delts nice isolation.
I used to do flat smith machine bench but lowered the bar to the base of the neck. I had read it was good for upper pec development. The first two workouts made me really sore in that spot. On the third, I heard a crunch sound in my right shoulder. Finished the workout like a fucking idiot, even though each rep felt like a knife being stuck in my shoulder.i use it for that as well u have to be careful and really get your self positioned ,,with a smith u have to aloow some space due to unhooking levers and that could go in or out few inches easily,,i sometimes go over collarbone on thos but very slow and comfotable weight,,it does fill in pec/delt area.
Turned out I had a 1st degree shoulder separation, and I never used that machine again.

That reverse grip smith press kills my wrists, how do you do that?bring your grip out wider, a foot past your shoulders on each side at least, it still smokes your triceps and will take away any wrist strain.
bring your grip out wider, a foot past your shoulders on each side at least, it still smokes your triceps and will take away any wrist strain.yeah this too,,but we were talking for front delts reverse press ,,kinda strains wrist as u get heavier in weight,,i haven't done reverse grip presses for tris in yrs ,,good exercise as well...
lots of men bitching about their limp wristsmy limp wrists feel great,,,
Yesterday was Chaos's superset routine for arms. Actually was able to do it the way he wrote it out and it was brutal.looks like my workout,,,except either warmup leg extensions or finish 2 drop set at end of workout.lunges are a must,,walking,or 1 steps,or smith reverse very good as well...

SLDL when done properly are the best hammie move ever. Seems most people overload the bar and roll the back or underload it and only do the top half of the move.
SLDL when done properly are the best hammie move ever. Seems most people overload the bar and roll the back or underload it and only do the top half of the move.yeah its tricky and once u get the feel its dead on ,,,,for me i find it tough to get the right feel every wk ,,i have very strong back/legs and i have gotten to 275 for 8 clean reps on maxx set ,,but to be honest 135/185 felt just as good pump and stretch wise,,so my ego needs to let of the pedal and probably stay at 225 for 12 which i get ,,,basically the form is this visualize a bird getting a worm bend down and pull back with back slight arch ,knees are either semi or locked i have tried both.

Try anterior load split squats - hold the bar like you would for a front squat, step oen leg back like a reverse lunge, stabilze, then drop straight down and go back up. up. Torches the inner quad muscle, and you can build up the weight fast.sounds good,,i am so up for leg torture,,,i have pushed and developed some pretty good legs top to bottom.

width
it thickens up with heavy rows
im quite strong on pull downs tried wide and narrow but not much success
Raped Ape, sometimes I do that between sets to stretch them it takes a little moving around to find your sweet spot when you feel the area you want to stretch.
Never used a strap on before but I'd say go as heavy as you can before using a strap. As for regular fucks my pinkies are right inside the smooth ring and my feet just inside that, usually shins 1-2" on the knurls. Something that helps with grip strength I always use a double overhand grip up to as much as I can before alternating, helps build grip strength and the less you use them the better imo.

Can't speak for him, but I was doing these right after college. I felt a pinch in my right shoulder at the bottom. Rest of the workout hurt like heck, but like a young dumb ass, I kept working out. Woke up with a golf ball sized knot on my shoulder - turns out I suffered a first degree separation. Had to take 3 months off.Wow,that sucks!!
Wow,that sucks!!
I used to do declines to the neck after reading about them from Vince Gironda,but I was much younger and even then they bothered my shoulders.
I believe I read it from Gironda too.Yeah,you`d definately have to go lighter for sure.
I think it's a combination of the angle forcing your elbows out, and the Smith locking you into an unnatural, straight range of motion. Feels like it puts a lot of stress on the clavicle.
But, I have to admit, it was the only exercise I ever did that really felt working that upper chest. Maybe the key is to be flexible, and keep the weight really within a range that can be handled. NJ does them, and he looks better than I ever will, so I'd be interested in hearing his view.
From my standpoint, ever since I adopted the power lifting style of benching, I've had minimal shoulder issues, and I'm someone who has separated my right shoulder twice, and rehabbed the rotator cuff in the left twice.
How many hours do you spend doing that workout?1 hr 15min or 1:20 tops
Do these hurt your shoulders nj ?no,,but you have to play with position on bench to get it comfortable,,great exercise,,,i do keep it rather light and i pump the reps no lock out just slight pause at bottom and reps usually 10/15 i finish with them.yes you should be careful cause they cam jam the shoulder .

In honor of Wes and nj, I was going to do a classic split bodypart high volume workout.careful grape,,,take some alleve go back tommorrow :D....
Started with DB Bench of 12,10,8,5,7
Went to incline for 12 reps and on the bottom of the first rep, my front shoulders stretched so much I stopped after. They freaking hurt so bad this morning, any time my arm goes across my chest. Probably over extended and now I will try to foam roll / stretch the crap out them.
Did 20 minutes on real bike after just so the workout wasn't a total dud.
careful grape,,,take some alleve go back tommorrow :D....
Will do. I'm going to squat today.thanx,,sux training through pain,my inner elbow has been off for a bit now,what are gonna do.i'm low key here but i put up all these leg workouts so once in a while show what hard work does.

Damn you must be tired. I just spread sum fertilizer on my yard wore me out.Actually only took me and my partner approximately 90 minutes to complete........we just keep moving.
Went out to pick up the hex bar I got off craigslist. Guy was selling since his son started going to the gym and he didn't want to pay twice. When I got there, he had a lot of speciatly items like fat bars etc...15 years old?
Told me his son just did a power lifting comp where he squatted 402, benched 297 and DL'd 375. Not bad lifts. Then the kid came down to help. He was 15 years old, and weighed about 190 at 5'7-8. Saw the video of the squat. Damn impressive.
You did a max-rep on Smith Inclines?It was heavy,but I could have done a bit more.
Seems dangerous.
Of course, I'm biased against that machine, so what do I know?

I've only done sumo / trap bar one I learned how to actually do them correctly. Everything before that was just shit lifting it up off the ground.Thanks bud,same to you!! :)

A few weeks ago I started running a trail a couple times a week. I can cardio it on the feminine elliptical for hours but that trail beat me up after a few days. My buddy did the Tough Mudder in New York a few months ago. He had some pretty bad conditioning and didn't even carb load before it and he still managed to finish.
I want to give it a try, though. Seems like it's a lot of fun.

Care to share it?Nothing too fancy, if you read my workouts I alwaya start with a big compound movement, so what I like to do is for example on bench go heavy barbell one week (singles/doubles) then lighter the next week 4-5 reps, then go to heavy dbs the next week, then lighter...so I alternate every couple of weeks. If that makes sense. I usually mix up the exercises after the compound so I don't really pay much attention to them.

BBell BenchFor many years I began my chest routine with a flat bb or db, hence a lagging upper chest. Still working on bringing it up. I always begin my chest routine now with eight sets of incline before I do a flat press. I see a lot of routines that people do beginning with a flat press. Doesn't make sense because not too many people have well developed upper pecs yet they still start with a flat press.

No training for six days. Orthopedic on Thurs...... :'(
Good luck.
Thanks, buddy. I went to an orthopedic on Tues, who told me it was two impingements in my shoulder, and that I could resume my normal exercise without injury. Like a dumb ass, I went to the gym the next day, and did my usual mix of stuff, but did just two sets of heavy DB presses, then back off for three higher rep sets on the decline ego hammer press.Sorry to hear it buddy,stay positive and kill those legs until you recover.
Knew about two hours after that something was really wrong, and the who AC joint swelled up. Range of motion is now very limited in the left and hurts all the time. I have another appt Thursday with a doc who has worked with the Patriots, so this should be better. I'll ask him for some hgh just for fun.
I think I might be limited to legs only for awhile, so it will actuall be kind of fun to just do them 2x week, and use the time off to get better at running/trails and builidng endurance.
On thre bright side, it gave me an excuse to build one of these. Hit the plumber supply store this morning: ;D
Dumbest thing ever. A real safety squat bar is bent on the ends for a reason, unless you plan on putting 90's on the ends to step down and permanently fixing the center support piece so the bar doesn't spin inside the larger OD, nevermind that those hose clamps are pure shit and will surely break or strip if you use any kind of significant weight.

My opinion......find a new design, that one in the video sucks ass.
The purpose of the bend is to put the weight forward towards the center of your body, you can actually stand up straight with no hands on the bar, that's actually how I use ours. I don't think I've ever seen a straight one, though honestly I've never spent time looking for one. For $ I'd just buy the Westside one, it'll save you the hassle of cutting the pipe and buying more fittings to angle the weights forward. If you have it done straight already, I'd say go ahead and do a test and put a 45 on each side and see if you can stand up straight with no hands on the bar. I bet not, as there is no difference between that and a regular bar except some spinning handle contraption in the middle. The try the same thing when you get the Westside bbell.
BTW, typically a safety squat bar weighs 65lbs. ;)

This is my injury recovery thread. Please move this stuff elsewhere.
Yeah - I watched a couple box squat videos the other day, and a bunch of guys lift the weight up before they grab the handles, so you can see the balance. I don't know if that's necessarily vital to me, or if I just need a way to hold a bar on my back while my shoulder heals. I asked the guy to email me a pic, so I'll probably go with that. Then, I just need to build a 14"" box, with a 3" one to stack and I think I have everything I need for my home gym, although I may add a few bands.The thing is with the one in the video you will have to use your arms to hold it, including your shoulder, the Westside one you can keep your hands down low, no pressure on the shoulder.
The thing is with the one in the video you will have to use your arms to hold it, including your shoulder, the Westside one you can keep your hands down low, no pressure on the shoulder.
On a side note after you heal, you can load the shit out of the safety bar, hold on to the side of the rack and squat using your arms to help you lift.
I think you've sold me on it. Seems like a good piece of equipment, albeit a little bit of a specialty item for a twink like me to own......Just resell it after you rehab your shoulder if you don't like it.

Lol! I "bulked up" to ~200 about 10 years ago. It looked absolutely awful. With my structure, there is no way around it (that I'm willing to do). If I went on anything, I'd be like a worse Dan Hill or Kamali.
Good news is I just got a shot up with cortizone, and the ortho feels this will fix 80% of my problem.

Not suprising considering your body looks like you're either a swimmer or on the track team....
It's true that I haven't made much progress in the gym since starting to run that much. Any progress is good progress, though.
How's that bar working out?
Took awhile to get used to - it can swing. It "clicked" last workout, and now I'm comfortable with it. Weight shot right up. I did some box steps with it, will try some split squats tomorrow.You went with the cambered one right? The safety bar shouldn't swing. I figured you'd be mixing it up with all kinds of rep schemes and moves since you are limited. Do you have access outside from your dungeon? Load that thing up and go for a walk. :D
Right shoulder still hurts, but the left got the shot feels awesome. Right gets shot next week.
I do worry about messing myself up in the long run. Might be time to go for reps for awhile.

Cambered bar, yes.Yeah it would be similar to a yoke walk, which tends to work the majority of muscle groups.
That's a good idea. I think I'll try that. Is that similar to your yoke walks?
Lifting time has been limited - wife is away 10 days for a TV shoot, and I have two children and work 50+ hrs. If I don't hit it at 6 a.m., I don't get home until 9, with all the activities. Getting under that fucking thing at that hour is tough.
But I need to just do it.
Yeah it would be similar to a yoke walk, which tends to work the majority of muscle groups.
So just get under and walk? Advice on distance?Well you gotta set.it down so start short so your turn around is close unless you have a second rack to hang the weight on. Unless you just drop it....

whats your take on static holdsI usually do them at the end of a workout, either in front or behind the back, good for grip. Although doing the strongman stuff and not using straps for anything my grip is pretty good.

Metal is the way to go. Can your shoulder handle that?
I agree, but I'd probably have to get a welder. I've seen some where the take the "T" portion of a weight bench, and just add handles and sled pieces.If you cut/assemble the pieces you can take it to a weld shop and the fee should be pretty cheap if all they have to do is weld it.
Shoulder should be good to resume normal stuff in a few weeks. I started with floor presses, since it make it impossible to over extend.

You should check out the lifting thread on the Y board 8)
Just looking at these marathon workouts makes me tired.

They're not that bad when you're in shape.

Welcome to the board :)
I thought maybe you were going to go the "you have to have abs showing to be in shape" route.
Ha! Just giving you a bit if a hard time where you can't change my posts! :D
As njflex suggests - in shape for your specific activity, of course.
I couldn't do box jumps after a leg session...or probably before one, for that matter. ;)
I thought maybe you were going to go the "you have to have abs showing to be in shape" route.
You should try box jumps at the end of a leg day, f'ing brutal.
I used to always do this, but then I was told to do them first, as a CNS stimulant.phooey ::)

Do you clean from the ground, or are these hang-cleans?
Ground. More strongman style than olympic style.
Well there is a difference between doing it correctly and doing it strongman style, much less leg bend alot more yanking. ;D
I think I remember when you were still learning the clean movement. I'm glad you got it; it can be tricky.
In your opinion, where are most guys stronger in this move - the initial pull from the floor, or the clean itself? I'm curious what/where the bigger limiting factor is.
Or, is there too much variance between trainers to make a claim?

shame it really is good like a dumbell shrug handles in front and far enough apart to get traps worked...I like to use the barbell and lean forward a bit, hits the "meat" of the muscle better I think.

yes i used it for that too a waste as a dead lift machine,,,its hard to make a machine to recreate a power barbell movement to function and perform as a say deadlift ,,your foot and hand positions are already at a loss trying to find the groove needed for form ,,each set u do on a machine trying to get situated to do it varies set to set trying to remember where u stood ,leg position front to back,,
My first gym had that type of machine. More people used it for shrugs than presses.
The Hammer Strength dead lift machine was also another very popular shrug device.

You're a friggin' monster on that lift. I'm not sure if I'm even capable of that for a rep. I go through phases with the lift, and it takes me about 5 weeks of training on it after not doing to get 405 (beltless, wrapless of course).I actually enjoy deadlifts the most. I cracked out 8 reps yesterday and felt buzzed for a few minutes after. ;D
But to go farther, I'd have to specialize, and I don't think my twink frame would appreciate it too much.

5) AVOID OVERTRAINING
Repetitive use injuries and overtraining are common for people on short timelines and those with big goals that require many hours of effort. For example, if you’re training for a 6 mile run you can run 6 miles every practice session and try to push yourself to get better every time. Or you can use HIIT for half your training sessions and run 4 miles of sprint intervals to create a measurable overload effect with less wear and tear on your joints. After a few of those 4 mile interval sessions, a straight forward 6 will feel easy. This doesn’t seem like a big deal in one example, but when you multiply the effect over 8 weeks it really adds up.
I believe this. I never run and hate it, but now have to because of the tough mudder, and can't do much else for a few more weeks until I get cleared for my shoulder.
Anyway, I went to run a 3.3 mile loop on 3/2. I was pathetic, stopping about 6 times to walk and it took around 35+ minutes. I did HIT on the treadmill for the next month. Tried the same loop last week, never stopped and averaged a 7.5 min mile. Nothing spectacular, but I never ran the 3.2 miles during that month, only HIT. It works. 5 miles will be easy in two weeks.

The Bench stretches the serratus around the ribs and brings blood in the area so in the Deads you have stretched and warmed the area up so as not to feel pain.I don't think it would hurt if I did bench before legs. The compression in a squat builds up a ton of pressure in the ribcage and squats is really the only exercise that aggravates it.

You've got to use it the right way. Just do a YouTube search for foam rollers. Or search for "foam roller calves." There are tons of videos out there. Some are pretty decent.

Lay on the floor like on your stomach - get into a position like you are going to do a pushup - pop up to your feet.
Pushup up strong enough to get your body under you land on your two feet.
What i do is start standing straight up - put one leg back one hand down other leg back other hand down. Now you are laying on your stomach and pop back up to your feet. Repeat

I threw up from exhaustion just from reading your WOD description :-X
YesterdaySounds like a Serge Nubret type of workout as I understand he would train and go back and sleep get up and train again a great physique he had RIP.
Warm-ups....Swing Bell lying pullovers, from between nuts/legs to behind the head..180 degrees. Usually couple of lighter sets of 15 to 20 reps.
1) Bench press lockouts,in a power rack,from around 7-8" to top. 2X10-12 medium grip, 1 X10-12 close grip
2) Military Press.....Partial to the top of the head, 2X 8-12
3) Dips (weighted) To just below the 90 degree break. 2X8-12
4) Press behind the neck...2X10-12, full ROM..complete overhead lockout, starting at the mid trap (shoulder line) position.
Usually when having time, I go in the back of the gym and take a short 10- to 15 minutes relaxing, or nap, period.

It's very relaxed here with good posters, constructive discussions, and a bit of humor.
I was able to train this morning. Did legs:
3 sets of walking lunges with a barbell,
5 sets of lying hamstring curls pyramided,
4 sets of seated hamstring curls,
3 sets of machine hack squats
No calf work; right medial soleous has been cramping up on me some the last few days.
I threw my back out once doing Hacks. Horrible feeling - was really fucked for about 3 weeks
Did you descend too fast?
Too much weight?
Fluke?
I use light weight, heels together, toes pointed laterally/outward (a bit like Tom Platz) I lower slowly WAY past parallel - In fact, the sled will sometimes bottom out, hitting the frame. I then drive forcefully through my heels stopping maybe about an inch shy of lockout.
I had 3 plates on each side. Dont remember what i did wrong - but i felt paralyzed for a 2 weeks before it let up erven a little
You still do them?
Do you wear a belt for any leg work?
Actual ham curls have been known to influence the calf's a bit. Heels together sounds like the old Vince Gironda Hack machine style. He called it the frog version or something like that.....knees way out.
BB Hacks have been my favorite leg exercise for years. I think of it as a reverse DL, without the over involvement of the lower back and more inline with the upper body as you lift...not like the DL and trying to avoid the knees.
No and no.
Been doing mostly dumbbell cicuits until i reach about 190-192lbs. Then i will work on strength mainly - probably next year or after November
Try the hack barbell squats with heels on a 1 inch board or heels on a 10 inch plate it will take pressure off the dragging on the hamstrings.
Yes sir, that's exactly how I do them - knees out. I never thought of the frog comparison, but it is a good analogy.
A friend of mine, who is a huge, powerful, old-school veteran lifter, has done sissy-style squats on the hack machine. Obviously, he used a very light weight.
I tried barbell hacks once at the end of last summer. I don't know if I did them wrong, or if my body mechanics aren't suited for them, but it felt like the bar was dragging "into" my legs instead of along them. They felt great on my lower back, and I was surprised that the weight I used felt as light as it did.
Conventional dead-lifts don't bother me as far as the bar drag on the legs, but I didn't care for the hacks.
Any tips?
By then, you will likely be ready for a change, anyway. I know I couldn't train for Spartan races year-round.
Has your GF gotten into any of this?

Not yet. I'm not going to force it on her. Hey check this out.

Is that video from the one you did?
I got over 28k posts been in many fights now just keep low key unless challenged or get asked questions on training. Give the elevated a heels a try.
Hey, wanna have some fun?
Mention doing this on the Training board. You'll see atomic meltdowns and receive threats of physical harm! ;)
Seriously, I've been contemplating buying a pair of Olympic lifting shoes for certain movements like hi-pulls and hang cleans. I never thought of trying an elevated heel solution for bb hacks. I may give it a go next leg day.
Thanks!
Yes. That dude at the end looks PED no?
It's so hard to tell just from looking. Individual genetics, response to training, response to drugs...I've known guys you would think "definitely" take shit, but don't, and vice versa. I never try to guess. He certainly looks good, though.
Do you know him?
Mr Nobody is correct with that good advice about the raised heels.
Would usually suggest a 2" board (1 5/8 actually) or a pair of 45's. Sets the body more inline with the BB Hack lift. But if 1" works for you, than great. Going to put some extra focus on the quads (raised heels) and less stress on the lower back.
Dragging into, or brushing the hams, can be an annoyance for some guy's...but that raising of the heels thing may help.I find the more upright (spine/lower back/shoulders)the less bother with the bar hitting the hams. For me, either flat of raises works. Probably due to body types again, like when doing regular DL's of squats. Which in truth, some body types are just not designed to do...at least when getting into more serious weight.
Think men's fitness magazine can be the main source on information on the TQ&A board.

You must hold the deltoids back during the movement a consious effort to do this then stand on about a half in board or plates dont pull with the biceps, I never have a problem I'm 6'2".
I'll give them a few more tries employing some variations. If I remember, I believe the bar wanted to hit my hammies too early, as in my legs were too bent yet to allow me past a certain point. I wonder if it could be because my legs are rather long in proportion to my torso and arms.
You must hold the deltoids back during the movement a consious effort to do this then stand on about a half in board or plates dont pull with the biceps, I never have a problem I'm 6'2".
I still speculate that if my arms were a bit longer, then my legs could/would straighten more before the point at which my hammies obstruct the bar.Give it a try they may drag the hams a bit on the last reps but putting your heels up and keeping deltoids back are the key.
I'm still going to try your suggestions.
Lateral Ape: Beginning in a bear crawl position, “push” yourself backwards until your feet are flat on the floor and you are in a deep squat and “hands free” position. Now reach both arms to one side and shift as much of your weight into them as possible. Maintain this pressure as you “hop” your legs to that side. Continue in a fluid pattern and repeat on the opposing direction.

While I can see why you would ask ME that... and believe me... I would too I suppose. That is not the case.
I'm trying to lean out so I have decided to up the cardio and I figured that a good way to do it would be to get in some extra miles to and from.
So the round trip brings my overall mileage to about 5.5 miles including cardio.
It seems to be working as I've lost 3 pounds in the past week and 1/2. I shall continue this for some time and see how things go.

HIIT works !
Hell yes. Tabata is nasty too.
i was discussing w monte the need to train for your body type more than anything as you get older which i have learned.
HIT is the way to go if you have fast twitch fibers ie power and strength. Slow twitch is endurance related I never had endurance so always trained HIT.
Yes; no single best way. Goals and individual response to specific training types are major factors that MUST be considered.
For me - keeping the fat off is always a struggle. I gain muscle and strentgh easy - but getting lean is like a rubix cube half the time.Multiply your weight by 15 then subtract 300, a slow weight loss procedure and won't lose muscle size. Drop too fast then loss occurs.

Anyone ever use the original PHA system, partly created by Bob Gajda, with regards to endurance plus strength training (stamina)? Kind of like circuit training gone wild. Sergio Oliva wa said to use it , from time to time.
Always wonder what Oliva's brother look like, back in Cuba. I read that Oliva said his brother was much bigger and stronger than him. Just never had the opportunity to get out of Cuba.
Never tried, but will definitely google and see what it's all about. Thanks.
i was discussing w monte the need to train for your body type more than anything as you get older which i have learned.
Yeah. I signed up for the Tough Mudder for the sole reason that it would force me to run, which I hate, but needed to do.
I'll never be big. If I can bench around 3 bills, box squat 4, and be able to run 5-8 miles easy, that's enough for me to rule the suburban dad circuit. I'll be adding more reps and going heavy less frequently. Not abandoning it, but this is for the long haul.
I would like to do a dumbell snatch with 100 lbs, but that might be a pipe dream after surgery.
Functional fitness is way more important as you get older.
BTW - not to scare you - but 2 people died at the last TM. One guy drowned on the leap of faith after getting knocked out by someone who jumped on top of him by accident
Shit that sucks.

This is true, a combination is best rather predominant one or the other. But example I'm 6'2" played basketball in high school they put me at Center because I could jump and block guys shots at like 6'8". I wish I had more slow twitch but you are correct in your statement. I am strickly fast twitch meaning no endurance. You and 333386 seem to have a mix of both.
Some sources I've seen claim that most people have a pretty even ratio of Type I: Type II in each muscle group, but mention that some folks have a dominant fiber type throughout part or all of their bodies.
I db snatched the 130 before. I need to practice that one some more.
Who are you doing it with?
That's pretty awesome. Before I got hurt, I could start the lift with 50s and work up to about 85 in about 3 weeks doing it twice a week. Hit 90 on the left and failed on the right, and stopped. Usually do sets of 2-3.
Once I'm healed, I think if I actually took the time to research the correct way to train for it, I might take a shot at 100. That would be good for 175lbs.
For TM - make sure you get a hydration pack, mechanix gloves, etc.
I have one of those Camelback vest things. Why the gloves?

Yes exactly you got to figure out the mix on fibers, high reps never has done a thing for me maybe on thighs and calves but marginal.
Yeah, I get my best results using both lower and higher reps together rather than relying on one exclusively.
I should add that I train primarily for hypertrophy, specifically.
Wrist still fucked-up.

No. I saw where did a few sometime back but whats the max?Just a few days ago.....
At 90ft? If I remember right it was 265# per hand, no set downs, I couldn't get the 285# more than halfway without setting them down. Then usually that meant setting it down a couple more times before getting 90'. If it helps we always used a fat grip on the handles.
Just a few days ago.....Yes Diet coke.

I got a few gift cards and just ordered a battle rope, some cones, and going to pick up some heavy kettlebells and other bullshit to take to the track and do some old school nonsense
Gift cards to where?
Amazon
Want to start training outside a little more and adapt my circuits workouts etc to outside stuff for the GoRuck event which i am reading they are starting to make even harder .
Nice.
I just wish i could find somewhere outdoors w a pull up bar and monkey bars and shit like that near me.
Are there any playgrounds near you?
Not with this things from what i can tell - now that are mostly kiddy stuff w slides etc
That's probably because kids today are generally softer, weaker versions than we were, so modern playgrounds aren't built with things that require serious physical effort.
Pulled my hamstring pretty bad :(...no legs the last three weeks.So.....same old thing huh? :)

I modified what I saw on go ruck since I can't do any presses yet, and took out anything that made me feel like a fag in the gym......
Going to do the one you posted above outside this week. What's an air squat?

When did you lift tires last? I think you challenge cswol to flip he says he is strong.Been awhile. Gym politics. Hopefully next week.
Just been upper body the last couple of weeks :(How is the leg bicep coming along some slow stiff legged deads might help high reps say around 15-20 heels elevated about 1 inch or so on a plate or board.

Dude I still can't do anything with my leg...still bruised.Brutal, bruising needs to go away first then maybe some light leg curls or SLD's high reps may help.

It was okay, but difficult to maintain intensity levels towards the end of the upper body days.

Only thing there is the Legs wear you out so delts/arms will suffer next day thats why I would put legs last then a day off. But I'm just a nobody just my trial and error with lifting.

You're not a bodybuilder. Get strong and work the whole body.
I'm a swimmer now, haha. Been doing muay Thai for the better part of a year straight now so there isn't much room for bodybuilding. Maintaining what muscle I had but definitely haven't added any as of late. That coupled with work has led to me slacking off pretty hard in the gym the last 4 or months so.
And to top it off now, trying to get back into it only to lo and behold tweak the hell out of my lower back today squatting for the first time in 2 months due to having rolled my ankle bad, Wasn't able to push off it for a while. Haven't tweaked my back in 4 or 5 years. Think it's from not doing enough core work. Whenever I slack on that it starts to go.
Was looking to get into the 5/3/1 but since I've been slacking so bad I haven't been able to get through a whole week and I just keep resetting the cycles. Figured I'd just go back to what I was doing but maybe knock it down to 3 days.
Lower back is rough!!!! Be careful
Fury - if you are into swimming - which is fucking great - and want to do bad ass stuff - check this book out - i refer to it all the time.

I plan on using his 12 weeks to BUDs workout routine before my GoRuck event in September
Looks pretty cool. I'll definitely check it out for that price.
Definitely know the lower back, though. I tweaked my sciatic pretty bad junior year of college due to poor form on squats/sldl and trying to be a hero with the amount of weight and it put me out of commission for a while (though I cleared it up in 2 weeks once I started doing ab work after I saw a doc). I haven't been doing much core work the last few months and I'm pretty sure that's why it happened. Anytime I stop doing even just a few sets of crunches every couple days my lower back starts tightening up.
Paying for my laziness.
I remember tossing my back out when i was 25 on the hack squat machine - i was out for two weeks. felt paralyzed. Horrible.
Im older than than you and at 38 now i can tell you - injury prevention becomes crucial as you get older. be careful with your back

Ever since I did that to my back I've been pretty adamant about warming up and stretching before anything. Rushed into it today, though, as I wasn't working with anywhere near a lot of weight and figured I could get away without it. Happened on my second warm-up set.
Does not take much to toss your back out. Its probably the worst feeling EVER
For sure. When it happened in college I remember going back to my dorm where my bed was the top bunk. I somehow made it into it and afterwards I couldn't get out. Took me like 10 minutes to slide myself off the corner and to the ground.
I ended up not lifting for about 6 months. There's posts made by me on here about it buried somewhere. Just kept re-tweaking it. Finally went to an ortho and he gave me a bunch of core exercises to do it and it was cleared up within 2 weeks. I've never been big on direct ab work.
As I get older - i get more and more wary of really pushing heavy weights as the benefit/risk ratio is really skewed.
Tossing my back out a few times when i was a loon was probavbly the worst feeling i ever had
Ever since I did it I'm kind of hesitant to squat heavy. I've never used a belt or anything (not that I squat huge weight) but it's been fine as long as I'm doing ab work. Lesson learned again. Been 4 or 5 years so I guess I needed a reminder.
Felt amazing today

Getting shit loads of ideas from GoRuck training page and the Stew Smith book, RushFit, etc.
I do sort of a mish mash of crazy shit lately and love it. By the end im literally soaked. Weight loss is slow but steady - but im keeping most if not all muscle, which i attribute to making the dummbells and weight related exercises integral part of the routines.
My cardio and fitness level right now is insane.
I don't recall if you've touched upon this before, but what initially got you interested in this type of training?
Good question - here is my answer in bullet points
1. always felt that while i was strong like a bull - it was limited to only a few exerciss
2. Went to see my buddy's race as Fenway last year
3. at 38 - wanted something different and always felt this type of training was for twinks - but i was wrong
4. Want to be more wel rounded fitness wise
5. Lifting just heavy at 38 has more hazards than benefits tbh
6. A ot of social benefits in that i can particpate in events like GoRuck, Spartan Race, TM, etc
7. my fitness level is insane and i feel unbeliebavle right now fitness wise
8. Saw pics of myself and the big bulky look is not doing it any longer
9. I hate sweating in a suit ans hate being winded
You may be the inspirational story of the decade. Expect Lifetime to make a movie about you. Of course, your part will be slightly modified and played by Delta Burke.
You saw my before and after from last year - almost one year anniversary for my transformation
Will we be humbled with new progress pics?
;)
Soon - im at 194 today - down 43lbs since last August 2012
My goal right now is like 185. I thought i would be a bit tighter at 194 thaqn i am right now - so i have a little more to go
This ^ is right. If the mirror says you do not look good what does it matter what you weigh?
Don't just go by numbers on the scale, man. Look in the mirror, too.
As you lose fat, you are probably building some muscle at the same time, which will skew the scale/weight marker. Use the mirror to judge body composition changes.
This ^ is right. If the mirror says you do not look good what does it matter what you weigh?
Exactly.
I've already heard people who are diligently working to (and are obsessed with) losing fat totally fret about the scale. They forget that they're also doing resistance exercise and don't realize that as they lose bad weight, they're adding some good weight. Not to mention that, by volume, muscle weighs more than fat.
That can really screw with somebody's head! ;D

True. Just have a little more to go to be where i want to be.
No worries.

Do you like this way of training better?
Yes, but I've really haven't done the bodybuilding type of stuff for a long time. Been using the ropes/chains/plyo/sleds for years (learned it during knee rehab awhile ago), but never incorporated the running, let alone running in between exercises.You feel much fitter overall with some running or interval training in there...i know i do.
In essesnce yes. It's nice to mix heavy weights on the basics, but feels better using the bodyweight/running stuff overall.
You feel much fitter overall with some running or interval training in there...i know i do.
Yeah, agree totally. It's a different feel throughout the entire day too, not just during exercise.
HomosNOOOOO....just don´t want to look like a fat Blob, plus i like being fast on my feet and agile. You are more of a strength training sort of guy. For me all round fit is strength,endurance,flexibility. well each to his own.

2.5 mile run - to school to hit baseballs / pitch to my son for an hour (him on bike)you should just do some interval on a bike... after your Lifting. still running shapes you up fast. To be honest run 3 miles and at a good Clip and you should be OK.
1.5 mile run - to ice cream / farm. (None for me)
2.5 mile run home - until the fucking pain in my left leg got so bad I had to walk.
This is why I fucking hate running. No idea what's even wrong. Hurts below knee on the outside.
Is this shin splints?

Cool, actually squats one of the best exercises for recovery overall if done slow and controlled no bouncing.

12 mile Tough Mudder today. Success.Shoulder?
I completed all 21 obstacles 19 solo, two with assistance (Could not reach the top of the ten foot wall no matter what)
The hardest part by far, were the 3-4 walks up the Black Diamond ski slopes, followed by a descent on another.
Wind and muscle were fine, but knee joints / IT band were fucking shot after mile 10, so I had to do the last downhill backwards to take the pressure off the knee. Also, got a quad cramp for the first time in my life going up hill - if I stopped, it cramped up like a baseball. So I just kept walking and punching it and when I got to the top, it was gone..
Probably about 5 bruises and 15 cuts/scrape, but it was fucking awesome.
Experience some shit I never have - like how 35 degree ice water can fuck with you brain/muscle connection, etc.

Great job. I have spartan race tommorow.
You'll ace it, no problem.
My legs are like hamburger meat and calves are sore like a mofo. probably do upper body stuff.
I played a double header Sunday, the morning after the mudder. Took Mon/today off, will get back into it tomorrow.
The low crawl under the barbwire over mud and rocks tore my knees up
Maybe I'll post some of my wounds. The underside of my right arm from elbow to armpit is purpole from having to jump up on the angled wall and get my arm over it. My upper right thigh has a softball sized bruise from hitting a log, and both knees are scraped to shit from what you did.
And like a shit head, I dove over the finish to do a mudslide, and since NE is full of fucking rocks, I cut the shit out my hand and forearm.

I pack a whole bunch of stuff in this valise and bring it to the track w me. Underneath the rope is a Skilz speed sack for sprints. Also have sandbags I stuff in the green GI bag. The orange cones are good tool too. Also have other dumbbells not seen in the photo that go in there too.
Saw an 80lb sand bag at Sports Authority. $199. They can go fuck themselves. $199 for what's basically a gym bag.
The kettlebells are real expensive too everywhere
The GI Bag was 39 dollars on amazon and I stuff it with clothes and general stuff to make it heavy. Use it to run like a fireman carry or a snatch like lift 5 or 10 times at circuit station
199 is absurd. The speed sack I thing was 49 dollars. The kettlebells are real expensive too everywhere
Good call.
This doesn't look bad, other than saying "ring to cage" on it:

Go ruck yourself. ::)
Not bad but I am always leery about buying things w no reviews like that - even if its 39 dollars.
I don't spend crazy money on equipment - the only thing I probably went overboard on was the GoRuck gear - but in all honesty - it is the toughest and best out there from my experience and they gave me 20% off when I signed up for GRC in NYC September 7 2013. Also gave me a free GoRuck Light event in NYC in July 2013 for signing up for the "GR Nasty" even in September which looks fucking B E A S T

Interesting. I'll be you'll be sore as shit the first few workouts.
I expect that to be the case starting in the next week or so. My intensity has been off a bit as I've been trying to establish my starting point for each lift. Seems I've been starting with too light a weight in most cases. I've happily gained much more strength than I thought since I last used GVT.
For compound, how do you select the weight? Is it the same poundage for each set - i.e. that max you can lift 10 x 10?
Montague
Could you give a sample of your GVT training exercises, and how many days per week? How important is it for you to do smaller movements, rather than only compounds?
The same weight is used for all ten sets, and should be heavy enough that you struggle to complete the last rep(s) of the last set. That is where experimentation becomes necessary.
Got it - so the first sets feel insanely easy and you think you went too light, than it can catch you. I like this, since I'm generally stuck in the 4-6 rep range. This might be a good refresher.
Yes, the first 3 or so sets feel like a complete waste of time, which adds a great deal to the deception of this protocol. Also, many trainers' egos will not permit them to be seen handling the (lighter) weights this method requires.
If you understand the concepts and goals of GVT, then you'll know if/when you're doing it properly.
If you don't mind, would you post a full week of what you're planning on doing?
Montague
OK, got the drift of your plan. Sounds very workable.
The same weight is used for each set. 1:10 rest is taken between sets. Attention is on good, controlled form. There is lots of literature on GVT that describes it a lot better than I can. Most people see good results from it.
Three more points I like about GVT is that, by performing only two exercises per session, each movement remains a bit "fresher" with more space in the rotation since you're now using some of them every 2-3 weeks as opposed to weekly, for instance.
Secondly, the progressive nature of the sets renders the first 2-3 to serve as your "warm-up." 4-6 may be considered your "acclimation sets," while the remaining sets are your heavier "work" sets; for those who favor that method of training. Here, you're using the same station, same weight, etc. It's all built in!
Thirdly - and this is purely personal preference - I like volume and the ability to effectively overload the muscles with a lighter weight. GVT accomplishes both. My body responds better to volume, and lighter weight yields less stress on joints, tendons, etc. While it is certainly still possible to get injured and/or develop inflammation issues on GVT, I honestly believe it is less likely.
My good man, are you saying you do not envision the Capulets prior to your sets to fuel your fire in the gym.

RushFit warm up
3 sets - 10 burpees 5 pull ups 20 pushups 100 flutter kicks x 5 TIMES NO REST
10 Minutes - weird new cardio machine - suked
30 minutes - stairmaster on intense setting
Are you still using the rowing machine at all for cardio? How do you rate the different pieces you've used thus far?
Yes - but not as much since it takes a shit load of energy away from me. So I am giving more energy to heavy dumbbells than the rows and doing the stepper , the machine like real steps for cardio which is not as taxing and intense.
GoRuck event I have coming up requires more strength and endurance than the spartance race skills. So goal is to be stronger and more stamina over distance.
The rowing machine is total bad ass and I do it - just not as much until October when I go back to training for Spartan Race
I have in the next few weeks starting Septemer7 GRC Challenge 12-14 hours, September 14, CMC in Brooklyn, September 21 - GoRuck Nasty, September 29 Merrell Down n Dirty maybe TM TriState October 10, and Spartan Race Fenway on November 13
Got a lot of stuff to focus on.
Damn, brother...you're obsessed!
I think you've taken this self-challenge farther than anyone here ever expected you to.
I love it and its exhilarating to be able to still compete with anyone at 38 yo now. And the people you meet are really supportive.
Its helped me stay super focused in my training
I still remember the haters being shut down - one after the other - following your first race. I remember how proud you were when you pm'ed me and a few other supporters your first progress pics; and then saying, "Ah, fuckit..." and you plastered them on the main boards.
A few of us truly knew what this whole thing meant to you, bro, and we're all proud of you!!

Chaos - you would be surprised how effective this is. Combine sprints, weights, etc. Best of both worlds.::)
Do three weeks of interval sprints on a treadmill and don't "regular" run at all. Then do the trail run again. It will be simple.
Yeah but it'a hell of a lot more boring...I'm starting a combo of both.

33 - which go ruck sandbag do you have? 40/60/80?
Can you buy and 80, but fill to 40, etc?
60lb - but it can hold more. The cool thing is that is has so many frigging handles everywhere and the material is THICK. I put the sandbags in a garbage bag.

*looks around*We been lifting here for years welcome on board. Just don't tell chaos.
is it safe for me to be in here? :D
Calvin said you guys have a decent workout thread going on in here. I've often wondered why one didn't exist actually. I mean why wouldn't it? as much as we bust balls and shit we all love to lift.
how detailed do you guys go when you post up your workouts? I've gone back a couple pages and will more later but just wanted to get my feet wet.
I'll post up what I did detailed w poundages if it's overkill I'll won't be so exacting next time.
I don't lift heavy anymore. heavy being a relative term. guess heavy is what you make of it. I prefer weight I can feel thru the entire range of motion on the muscle I'm training. if I can't feel it straining thru every inch of the rep it's too heavy for me.
today I did chest/ shoulders. I'm starting to develope bursitis in both sides now and am finding chest training w presses agonising thankfully I can do cables.
FYI I move exercise to exercise w no rest.
one set flat bench 135/205/225 no rest between increases just enough to put the plates on. shoulder killing me had to stop.
one set dumbell presses 65/85/85 same as above and again shoulder issues cut me short
pec dec unknown weight 8 reps or so rest 5 seconds repeat 3-4 times
high cable fly unknown weight 12 reps or so arms at neck height at end of movement superset w traditional cable fly w cables at waist height end movement. did this back and forth I dunno 3-4 times. chest getting good and exhausted.
shoulder press dumbbell. 45's. 12 reps rest 5 sec repeat cycle 3-4 times go back to cable flyers hit those again then back to shoulder press etc did this rotation 3 times.
side laterals 20's 12 reps nice and slow agai. same as above (superset w the cables)
shoulder press again this time alternating (fuck I love these so killer) and followed the above cycle w the cables for chest and sets.
that's it. was fried after. dunno how many sets that is but its a shit ton and really fatigues you fast w/o time to rest. typically I'll do rear delts too but they are still fried from my back/trap session yesterday. did traps for the first time in months. love rear delts traps back together. great combo.
I did no front delt work today as the high cable fly w the finish at neck height aptly fries them. I don't do this every workout. just felt like it today.
as you can see I don't use a lot of weight just a lot of volume. I find good growth in chasing the pump. truthfully I had to end my workout today short as I couldn't take the pump anymore in my delts it was not comfortable at all. :D.
total workout time maybe 30min. 35 at most. but that's 35 minutes if constant motion. I'm fried when I leave. :)
cheers guys. think ill hammwr out back again tomorrow and legs.

Rear Delts
I have, but I prefer using dbs. Used the pec deck thing yesterday.
You ever use a modified bent-over row for rear delt work?
I mean like using a wider grip, pulling the bar to a point higher up on the torso, etc.

I'll bet you would see no decrease in shoulder development if you just concentrated on push presses and DB snatches and shitcanned all the other BB stuff. You'd get stronger too.

I take a day off where I feel necessary but because I keep my workouts short and intense (all sets are triple drops all exercises done in a giant set rotation) with very little rest between sets and lighter weight I feel I can hammer out a great session in under 30 min and return 48 hrs later to hit the same body parts again using different exercises.
today was back

When you are ready to get in shape and fit - pm me - no grudges held. I remember what it was like to be fat and overweight. It sucked! ;) ;)Of course everyone bigger than you is "out of shape", even those fat chicks and pig gut green berets that do your little wanna be rambo games. ::)

I put incline 1 level.
I walk fast at 8 for 90 seconds, then run fast at 14 for 30 seconds.
Tabata is perfect!!!Tabata only works if you give it your all(even then i don´t believe it)..most don´t. stick to Walking but if i was you i would go on the bike in the gym. work up to 30 mins hard interval Training. You want to be a big bad Monster? why not work your Little heart?
But i can' t run for so much long.
During my Army Training to become a Military Police sergeant, running was my only problem. Not even the military run full armed, shooting, break in a building, arrest someone, test drive engage etc...
Normally what i do for cutting, is 4% incline and fast walk at 6,5.
When the going gets tough during my sessions, I just think, "what would Teh Rude do" 8)

very impressed .. the elbows flared out and i take it Close with the pushdowns Chaos?Close on the pushdowns and floor presses.
explain the floor press pleaseLay on the floor in a cage and do close grip presses. Slight pause at the bottom.
Lay on the floor in a cage and do close grip presses. Slight pause at the bottom.
Forces you to use proper form. Most people will do cgbp on a bench which allows the elbows to go lower than the body and the forearms will "lean back" (from a side view), this allows chest/front delts to create momentum out of the hole. On the floor your forearms have to stay 90 deg to the floor so the bar is towards the bottom of the chest, elbows flat with the body, ghen when you press there is no momentum, little front delt and no chest involved.how many grams a week would be required to perfect this lift?
At least that's the goal.
how many grams a week would be required to perfect this lift?I don't count grams but I believe my shake at lunch has about 48.

Bench press to about 90 and Dips too. You will not get any benifit going lower. I Dip to a Point where i "feel" it. good post ChaosFor bench I always touch my chest with the bar, that last couple inches is where the chest is most active in my opinion.

The stretch at the bottom is very important.well after a hard set of Dips ..i feel a muscle contraction i have never felt with bench press, DB´s are better and even push ups ;D. Parallel bar Dips are like Decline Press way better than any flat or incline press !!

and yes Declines and Dips will hit your FULL chest. I did Parallell Dips 4x max, push ups, flat flyes .. my upper chest hurts too.X2 I had a weak chest once only way I got it up was dips and decline. I got a person I train refuses to do decline I say ok man thats your choice.

Dips...not the biggest fan after two people tore their pecs within weeks of each other while dipping.They were probably not using good form bouncing etc., dips one of the best exercises if done in good form.

How long have you been using Joe's shoulder shocker?
Have you gained any noticeable size from it?
Didn't feel, to me at least, like this is a size thing, more strength and injury prevention. Could be wrong, though, as I didn't read the whole thing.
My shoulder health is way better now...and my presses have gotten stronger..I still do standing shoulder press but for weight only...for shoulder assistance work I do the shoulder shocker

Done squats with a BB resting in the crook of the arms, never the global version . Some start with the BB on the floor and lift from that position (helps with all around body strength), do mine from a lower rack setting. Some pretty impressive weight has been handled from the floor.

I never had a problem sharing loadouts either.
For example, on the larger maps, I use M8A1 with a target finder sight and foregrip attachment to reduce recoil. This gives me the ability to combat snipers at long range, and have the advantage at medium range. Very accurate. I use the lightweight, toughness, and engineer perks, no secondary weapon, and a bouncing betty and a shock charge. Only disatvange is close range, where the automatic weapons have the advantage.
On the smaller maps, I use the Type 25, due to its faster rate of fire, reflex sights and grip as well. Same perks as the M8 loadout, except I use extreme conditioning instead of engineer, so I can run faster for longer periods.
I'll keep you current with my other weapon sets once Call of Duty Ghosts launches.

I'm honestly surprised you haven't tried one, being that you're in the business of owning tiny-tits. Or is it more like you WERE in the business of owning tiny-tits? I sometimes forget how long we've been on this board, my friend.

Very hard to find a spot to do a bench and a 50 yd bear crawl.
Do they mean pick a weight you can rep steady for a full minute?
Regular ones....I refer to his as complicated face pulls
Do you perform a basic pull apart, or DeFranco's "3-D" version in which he stands on the band for downward resistance?
Another great worout from Stew Smith tonightPeople underestimate timed movements...most of my lifting life had revolved around time and not reps...something I'm gonna start back once I'm done rehabbing

In my gym we have a basketball court so I just went in there and did the length and back.
Cool.
Link isn't working for me. So you bench for a minute straight? What weight do you to use - I assume it's a big drop in weight since it's going to be 30-40 reps, no?
Now we got Rambo teaching wanna be Rambo how to pretend to be Rambo for a day.
Chuck Norris would rape Rambo.
LMFAO - you would not even last 3 hours during one of these events.
When you are ready to get in reasonable shape - pm me - ill help you out slim
Question: could any of this running and hopping around help you rear-naked choke chaos?
Chaos would be gassed out in a few minutes at most.
But would he gas before he could tap you out? No homo.
I know some BJJ enough to deal with him for long enough so that he would be a panting mess and locked up in muscle spasm.
Plus - he has what 100lbs on me? All he has to do is sit on me to choke me out

4 Weeks to go till GoRuck HEAVY. Been destroying my workouts and in best shape of my life right now. Down 192-193lbs and shredded.
Doing tons of interval training
Today for example -
400 Meter Sprint x 12
But in between each Sprint - 1 minute situps, 1 minute pushups, 1 minute plank, 1 minute lunges
I did quarter mile sprints at 10.3 mph, followed by 3 min jog....4 circuits then 11.3 mph sprints on 1.5% for 20 sec / 10 sec rest for for 8 circuits.
I'm nowhere near your range though.
Is there mud in the stadium Spartan races, or does that get skipped because of the locale?
no mud. Lots of obstacles , rowing machine, rope climb, and a lot of stairs.
I'm hoping to finish it in 40 minutes or less. Well see.
I'm sure you will. Seems like a waste to do it that fast though.
Guys - a great great hreat training guide is stew smith guide for Navy Seals. Seeing amazin results so far. I might go for the big one if this keeps up.By "big one" are you saying you are considering mandigo cock over the more traditional ugandan pole you usually smoke?
I need to start pounding food and free weights again.
KB's slimmed me down too much.

Chaos and 3 need to swap events as a one-time thing. Chaos would do a Go Ruck, and 3 would do a strongman; no training for it, just go in cold and see how each would fare.
Deal. I am in killer shape right now ready for anything whatsoever. Sign me up.
It would be a fun and accurate comparison!
Lol. PoleMuncher would be crushed during the first event.
Im ready for anything right now. I have never been in the tpe of condition i am in right now. By 12/7 i will be at the pinnacle of fitness overall.

You've been having a tough time with jerks for years, IIRC. Have you ever tried finding someone knowledgable enough to teach you the right way? There are some YouTube videos I've come across that offer instruction.

The heatwave is knocking me around. I have been training but there are times I feel very sluggish and tired from the heat. Yesterday trained chest and delts and then did 20 mins on treadmill. Today I am trying to motivate myself to go to gym.I thrive on the heat..I would do anything for 100+ degrees right now...where I live it stays hot..so this cold spell isn't working for me
Edit: Got my ass to the gym and did 40 mins on the treadmill.

I had a two week layoff because my gym was closed,I was burntout so I took this time to chill and eat like a pig and just relax.
That being said,I started back last week,and trained this morning....worked on my massive tree trunk like quads! :)
Just a fair warning that in another week or so, I shall make my triumphant return posting my workouts on the highly esteemed "Y" board.
I will take no shame in embarrasing all of you.
Just a friendly heads up,so keep pumping!

This is not a critique, but a discussion - do you think your legs would look any different if you just skipped the last three leg exercises? I'm of the belief that they wouldn't.
Yes you might be right about that. Those exercises works by a specific way, and i don't have that huge amount of muscles that needs to "sculpt" (i don't know if this is the right word) this way.
I know that they are useful during my cutting period but not so helpful now.
I may do a change and do only squats, front squats, leg press and SLDL.
Yeah, I'm not a big believer in the the concept of scupting anyway - I think it's all genetic. I just believe if you hit the muscle hard with compounds like you listed, you'll get almost the exact same result, with less exercises.
Maybe the addtional sets are the stimulation you need for growth, but I just doubt it. You look much better than me anyway, so what do I know?
The guy at my gym with the most insane quads does 2 sets of squats... thats it.
Warms up on the treadmill, does some stretching, a few light squat sets and boom 2 massive sets.
He's in and out in 30 mins.
so what do I know?
It doesn't matter. We can have a conversation!!!
Next time i will try a high rep system with less exercises and i will report back.
NZMM we have that chick at my gym, Greek champion at cycling. Very nice body, like those that bradistani posts. Perfect muscular legs and butt. She is a little bit crazy, difficult to hit it.
So... she doe's only 5 sets of 5 at squats and SLDL. She is not doing cycling anymore, just as transport.

So now that I've amped up the activity post concussion, I have pain up the outside of my left shin. Shin spints? Fagititus? Either way, if nzmm or any other runners have a solution, I'd appreciate it. Just going to roll the shit out of it for now.

Fucked up my neck with the heavy shrugs. Mowing the lawn made if worse. Icing now.

You know, I've never worried about head placement. Thank you.I used to be in so much pain after shrugs I quit doing them, then I saw Milos and his guys leaning their heads forward....it allows the traps to flex without pinching your neck.

Next time try leaning your head forward then after you get to the top of your shrug then roll your traps back with your head still forwards.
Thanks. I am still trying different ways of doing these: regular BB, trap-bar and heavy DB's. I had heard that excessive rolling isn't a great idea, so I've been doing a sort of two-step: pulling the scapulae together and then shrugging up and reversing it down.
Hex Bar DL superset DB crunch press........and that's it....fuckin' work.
Try this...Do heavy dbs superset with light db's , only around 40-45lbs for the light but start at the top flexed position and only lower them 2-3 inches then lift again...try 12 reps you'll really feel it....don't rest after the heavy, just grab the light and start.
What is a "crunch press?"
Neutral grip dumbbell chest press where you push the dumbbells together the entire movement.Gayer than peak contraction and feeling the burn combined.

I got these: http://www.ironmaster.com/Quick-Lock-Dumbbell-System-75-lb-set-with-Rack.html#.U76zJ41dXU4
I have dropped them on my hard rubber floor several times and they are indestructible.
In retrospect, I should have gone that route. Bowflex lets their 5/90 sets go for half price once a year, so I grabbed them for $350 instead of the $700.
I guess I could sell them to recoup my $$ easily on craigslist, then go for those.
Cutting back on volume as my shoulders are complaining...
DB press 4 x 10
Dips 3 x 10
Ring push-ups 3 x 10
Ring dips 3 x 12
Reverse skull crushers 3 x 8
Band pressdowns 3 x 12
Mostly been doing my therapy stretches.

So I see you trying to sneak your injuries in again >:(
I am almost a year out from my injury and at this point, it's specific strengthening exercises.
6 miles ruck
1 hour hiit
I do find that loaded carries helps, it's just a very fine line between strengthening and tendinitis down there.

I have a 40 lb weighted vest. Maybe I will put that on when I push the prowler.
3 sets each of:
Trap-bar deads
T-bar rows
DB rows
NG weighted pullups
Trap-bar shrugs
Light DB shrugs
EZ Curls
Ez Curl partials
15 rounds of exercise @ 25 sec - battle ropes, TRX, medicine ball, plank, etc....40 sec rest in between. "rest" included what was left after 50yd sprint (15 total)
200 yd sandbag carry (80lbs)
That sounds like hell.
It's hard - I had planned on 30 rounds, but stopped at 15 - the sprinting in between turned out to be too much.
Soul Crusher wouldn't even break a sweat on it though.
Was gonna lift last night but was hungover so I jumped in the pool then went out for pizza and beer instead :)
3 hours of night court. Nyc. F me.
Left side shoulders.Right side alcohol?

Recovering from a right torn labrum and bicep.
1 hour HIIT
How do you do HIT for an hour? What's the cadence?
Ill write it up later. Have it down pat now.
The reason this works so well - is that the 25/35lbs are enough so that you are really working your muscles so that they don't atrophy and they keep their size , not to mention you gain shit load of muscle endurance and quicker recovery in general.What's your cycle, bro?
Im pushing 195/200lbs but can keep up w anyone endurance wise whereas a lot of the skinnier guys focused only on endurance cant keep up w me on the strength or muscle endurance activities like the rucking and log carries, etc
What's your cycle, bro?
Not going to quote it, but thanks SC for that......one note - there's some nice Round Timer apps that will do the same thing as the clock.
What are:
manmakers
bodybuilders

Stew Smith is the man. I learned a shit load from him this past year. Great guy and a legend fitness wiseGood Training. i think you can "cross Train" without being stupid like some so called instructors. Good ground knowledge is key. which of course you have.
Good Training. i think you can "cross Train" without being stupid like some so called instructors. Good ground knowledge is key. which of course you have.
Here is the kind of thing I am doing -
Get a huge ass timer clock in front of you that counts seconds, minutes, hour, etc.
Grab 25, 35 lbs dumbbells and go near a pull up bar
Do any of the following for one minute, followed by 15 seconds rest. Have to keep eye on the clock for precision.
Ill do something like this knowing what I can get in one minute time wo killing myself -
1. w 35 lbs db's - 10 Manmakers
2. w 35lbs dbs 8 squats - 12 bent over row - 20 toe raise - 6 curl and press
3. w one 35 lbs dumbbell - each arm - 8 squat / upright row - 7 swinging db raise
4. 1 minute plank hold
5. 35 sit ups
6. 120-130 flutter kicks
7. 1 minute cycle - if near me or walking lunges
8. 12 8 count bodybuilders
9. 10 burpee / Pull ups
10. 12 walkout push ups
11. 1 minute plank hold
12. 40 leg raises
13 1 minute cycle
14. w 35 lbs db's - 10 Manmakers
15. w 35lbs dbs 8 squats - 12 bent over row - 20 toe raise - 6 curl and press
16. w one 35 lbs dumbbell - each arm - 8 squat / upright row - 7 swinging db raise
17. 35 sit ups
18. 120 flutter kicks
19, 35-40 flat press w 35lbs dumbbells
20. 50-60 yards bear crawl / crab walk
21. 12 Burpee plus standing long jump
22. 1 minute cycle
23. 30-40 standing squat
24. 12 walk out pushups
25. 1 minute plank
26. w 35 lbs - 10-12 clean & press
27. 12-15 - row and push ups w 35lbs
28. 8 squat / 10 bent over row / 20 toe raise / 5-6 curl and press w 35lbs
29. 1 minute cycle
30. 1 minute plank
31. 35 sit ups
32. 120 flutter kicks
33. 10 burpee / pull ups
34. 30-40 walking lunges
35. 50-60 yards bear crawl / crab walk
36. 12 8 count Bodybuilders
37. 1 minute cycle
38. 8 squat / 10 bent over row / 20 toe raise / 6 curl and press w 35lbs dumbbells
39. each arm - 8 squat / upright row 7 dumbbell swings
40. 12-15 manmakers w 35lbs dumbbells
41. 1 minute plank
42. 35 sit ups
43. 1 minute cycle
44. 20 pop ups
45. 12 walk out push ups
15 seconds rest between each set - usually works out to an hour almost exactly. Then I wait 15-30 minutes and go for ruck
So SC, I wanted to give this a try, but figured I'd modify it since I've never even attempted anything close. Used 20 lb db and 45 sec instead of a minute.
Good stuff, struggled most with the flutter kicks, and had to put my hands under my butt to get through them. Didn't have a cycle so I did 10 mph sprint on treadmill instead. For bear crawl, did atomik bomb climbing static holds since i didn't have the room.
All in all, it's cool. I think I could work up to the min pretty quick and go from there, but 1 min + 35lb dumbbells is pretty beastly on that.
Were you drenched by the end?

I wrote something else.....getbigs auto edit of words. ::)
That's no way to talk about Grape and Soul when they post their cross training crap!

Great back to back events. Some guy could not do pushups with his pack on - so I had to do them for him with 2 on myself for this and then team inch worm pushups. No problem
You should have done them with one arm to really drive home the difference. He'll never recover.
What's your stack look like? :D
He felt bad and apologized but whatya gonna do - it happens.
I benched 45lbs for 3 sets of 30
same on incline
same on cables

Ditch the bar.....go all DB from here.....

Go chew a snow tire.With or without screws?
DB press 1 x 15 , 3 x 8
Then did the SC workout from the other day. 25lb db, 50 sec, 45 sets, 15 sec rest.
How did it feel.
Getting better at it - drenched.
You muscle endurance and stamina are going to go through the roof as well as recovery time. Did back to back Challenges this weekend - like nothing for me now.

Shit - when is selection?
October but going for the next one in april most likely. Hardest event out there right now
48 plus hours. 80-90 miles
Yeah, I read about those - there was one where everyone failed but one guy.
October but going for the next one in april most likely. Hardest event out there right nowI would love to do that too. Interesting it´s called "selection" because the British SAS call it that. Very few pass. Sometimes none. SAS selection is only twice a year, winter or summer. tabbing with a weighted rucksack is great to burn fat.

Its patterned after SFAS/SAS/BUDs etc but is individual not a team effort and they actively try to get you to quitsounds great. i really would love to do it. i would however do it in Winter. have you a link that i can read? A couple of ex Brit Army Guys i know now living in the states would like this.

It's true. Chaos taught me something about shrugs that I didn't know and I have been gleefully shrugging pain-free since then. I am olde, but not too old to learn.Sshhhh we don't want people to think we lift.

I hour HIIT circuits - 4 miles ruck
In this context, what means "ruck?" How heavy is the pack? What pace do you walk, etc?
Half marathon very hilly so it was leg day today8 mile recovery run tomorrow
I have a question for you, runner.
I have 13 mile "race" / mud obstacle shit on Saturday. Could do it now. Do I continue to train hard until Thursday, or just take it easy.
Thank you for the advice. Will do a 7 miler on Thurs at slow 10 min pace.
Noooo don't train hard save your legs, I'd get a good 7 or 8 miler Thursday then do a 2 miler shakeout run Friday. My long training runs I go 60-120 seconds slower than race pace. Sounds fun please tell me how it goes

Alright I'll play along until I get bored:
So part of what I would like to do for my next competition (but also for my physique in general because it looks good) is get my back and shoulders wider so my waist looks smaller. I used to say I had a broad waist, but what I actually have is a completely average waist and no hips. I'm pretty sure giant glutes, delts, and lats will give me the illusion of being nipped in at the middle, so here's what I've got in the agenda for back today:
barbell rows 8-10x3 sets
wide grip seated cable rows 8-10x3 sets
DB bent over rows 8-10x3 sets
narrow grip lat pulldown 8-10x3 sets
abs or calves.
Have you ever done lat pulls on a stationary pole? Negrita Jayde (sp) use to swear on that shit.what's a stationary pole, and who's negrita jade?

what's a stationary pole, and who's negrita jade?
no0b. 90s female bodybuilder with wide v taper.
Anyway, she advocated grabbing a stationary pole (could be a squat rack) putting your feet close to it and twisting while holding on - it stretches the lats out. 4 sets of 10 each side.
Do you guys just see black girls and then immediately compare them to ANY other black girls? Jesus.
Anyway doesn't matter. My back is plenty wide, even when I'm not suffering from ILS and posing like a cock. It just needs to be wideer with some shoulders on top if I'm going to create the illusion of an inconceivably small waist (which, duh, wins figure shows and looks awesome in dresses)...

You talked about bringing up your lats so I asked if you did an exercise that was done by someone who used to do it to.....wait for it.....bring up her lats. She also wasn't any other girl - she was married to Gregory Hines.Okay, you are forgiven and I am a dick. sorry. I'll take my narrow ass to the corner now.
I didn't even think she WAS black, and now that you made me look I'm still not sure. I only know she was Canadian.
But I guess I apologize for having the one person I knew who advocated the exercise might having been black. ::)
Okay, you are forgiven and I am a dick. sorry. I'll take my narrow ass to the corner now.

Is she black though?
Only half black.

gracias. ps, what's a banded squat?
It's the beginning of a journey that ultimately has you doing squat singles out of a monolift onto a box while wearing a multi-ply PL suit.Translated: I tried banded squats once and got pinned by one plate.
Triples are called "cardio"
gracias. ps, what's a banded squat?Giant bands wrapped between the rack and the bar, builds explosiveness and lockout strength.

Since I am thinking about squats:
I was just talking to a coworker about squatting, and how much my knees ache (feels like my joints are dry and creaky or something) whenever I bump the weight up significantly. He suggested that I still do my regular back squats when the goal is hypertrophy, but since I do periodize my training, that I use front squats for my volume training. He said since it changes the way I load the muscle and since I will, out of necessity, have to drop the weight a bit for front squats anyway, that it should help to spare my knees somewhat Any thoughts on this? Bodybuilding is cool, but being able to walk is cooler.
Since I am thinking about squats:Either way you're using your knees. I prefer to mix up squats anyways, front/rear/pause/banded/box/safety bar....weights and reps ranges depend on how I feel. Do you take any supplements for your joints?

GR Light - that shit was no joke. Reverse bear crawls up stairs w pack on , a lot of carrying heavy shit, running,, etc. 14 miles 6 hours
Do you think if I trained for it I could go right to a Heavy or do you need to work up to it?

No way. Do a challenge first
There's a challenge Oct 31st in Boston. Is two months prep enough? Just aced a TM no problem last week.

I also did 15 minutes of HIIT and will do heavy sled drags and farmer's walk when I get home from work.
Gayer than justifying your workout to another guy.
September 26 27 there os a C and L at West Point if you want to jump in. I can give you a buddy pass for the C for free too as a 1st time guy.
No kidding.
I totally appreciate that, but too short notice for me.
If you ever have anything like that in the future, I'd be game. There is a trainer at my gym who said he'd do a challenge with me and my buddy. I'm looking into one that works best for us, and I'll let you know.
Boston st paddys is always a good event
NiG Pulldowns
Is that a heavy?
Yes. That will be rough! The water will be cold abd you will be in it gor awhile
Which is best stew smith book to get? There's a lot of stuff.
Emailed my buddy about St Patrick's day heavy.
Both books are great. but my only advice - get a pack - toss 35-40lbs in it - and get mving. HEAVY is no FNG joke. 99% of the people on this site would quit in the first 30 minutes easily - let alone 24-30 hours of being deal w shit from Spec Ops people.
Do a ton of functional fitness stuff. Like a TON - pushups sit ups flutter kicks pull ups - overhead duck walks, bear crawls, etc. HEAVY is a massive kick in the balls
Will do.......starting tomorrrow.....ordering.. ..GR0 or GR1?
Juuuuust wanted to tell you guys I hit a new PR! 225# squat for eight reps. NO KNEE PAIN EITHER! I don't know too many ladies in the two plate club. I also don't know many ladies who squat almost 100# over bodyweight. So I'm feeling mighty accomplished.Congratulations. What are you doing different for the knee pain?
Congratulations. What are you doing different for the knee pain?To be honest, I don't know. I think part of the problem has always been that my legs get stronger consistently and quickly, but since I've only been lifting seriously for about 6 years, my knees haven't necessarily had the time to adjust. Like my shoulders NEVER get stronger, so THAT joint NEVER needs to adjust to new stimulus, so no shoulder pain.

It's weird, now that I started running, I get the need to "have" to do it. It actually becomes necessary. And this is from someone who despised it up until recently.I ran too much when I was younger, hate it. That's why I mountain bike.
I ran too much when I was younger, hate it. That's why I mountain bike.
The trails I run on are also "official" New England Mountain Bike Assoc. trails and marked. I see dual suspension mountain bikes going over huge rocks and stuff. It's really cool. I've been tempted to drop some $ and do it, but I'm wishy washy between that and a road bike.Go FS if you're getting a mnt bike.
Since I'm training for GR Heavy now it's moot - I will be doing tons of walking.

That's fantastic....maybe we should start a cardio thread on the Y to talk about this stuff...
Pullups
reverse grip pulldowns
t-bar
rope pulldown
abs
If only we had a mod on the Y board that kept threads clean and on topic.....
- 100 rep calf raise
- goblet squats x 5
- Bulgarian split squats x 5
- supine glute bridge (no homo) x 5
- 15 minutes HIIT.
So, goblet squats. Do you reach a point where you just add reps. I want to get the benefit of these, but feel like I could max out the weight I have rater quickly. I've just been doing sets of 12 slightly below parallel.
My lower back and knees are a major problem for me from doing back squats for so many years, so yes. I do a lot of slower reps ATG and keep the tension on. Right now, I would like to do front squats too, but my shoulder injury is keeping me from setting the bar properly. Oddly, holding the kettle bell, even my 40kg one, isn't as uncomfortable as trying to hold on to the bar across my delts.
My leg workout is the most mentally taxing because of all the injury minefields that I tiptoe around. Even BSS were giving me some lower back warnings this morning due to the mono-lateral nature of the exercise.
I have resigned myself that I will never have tree-trunk thighs, but I need to find a way to get a decent leg w/o in somehow.
I've found box squats to be very effective for me in protecting my back.
The more running and conditioning stuff I do, the smaller my legs are. But I don't give a fuck - nobody ever sees them anyway, outside of calves, and mine wouldn't change much regardless of what I do. As long at the teardrop quad part is decent, I'll get by aesthetically, barely.
I guess I just get lazy on goblets. I don't like holding the 100lb db....feels like more taxing on core and such rather than legs. Also, I have the bowlfex 10/90 adj db, and holding them for goblets makes them feel like they're going to break.
1 hour HIIT no rest.
4 miles ruck.
Have GR C/L this weekend at West Point
Did you do selection yet?
Front seated military pressFixed! ;D

45 circuits 50 sec on / 15 off
45 min ruck / 35lb pack - first one.
45 circuits 50 sec on / 15 off
O?
45 min ruck / 35lb pack - first one.
How'd the first ruck go?
How did it go?
I didn't bother working up to the weight - just figured I'd do it for low mileage to start.3.5
Not too hard, BUT, it only took a short time to completely get the importance of footcare and getting time in the ruck. I wore my reebok ATV 19s that I used in the mudder, and the added weight caused my feet to slide around alot, so I get the whole bodyglide / good sock and tight fit thing. I think I'm going with Soloman XA Pro 3d. I was going to wait, but I think it's important to get it right from the start.
Long f'n way to go with this to get to 12 miles in under 3.5 hrs (or is it 3?)
Can't believe how sore I still am but just realized I probably did not less than 500 pushups w 45lbs on my back, 25+ miles, carried logs, probably did 100+ pull ups, 100+dips, buddy carries, bear crawls, tons of elevation and stairs carrying said buddys and logs, etc over a 24 hour period.
FUCK!!!
How do you get soreness to go down?
And this WASN'T the "Selection"? What does THAT entail?
No - Selection is - from someone who is currently a Green Beret told me - if you get past that - you can do BUDs' , SFSA, anything at all. Told me GR Heavy alone is probably the same as most SF type schools are now - but Selection is harder than anything - BUD's included for the time frame.
I have most of it down - but my run times need to come down and I need to lose some bulk before I will sign up. At the start is a PF test that I am fine for all but the running b/c running SUCKS!!!!
What can you do now for running. I did 9 miles the other day @ 8:17 per. Nothing spectacular, but would like to know where I stand with all this stuff.
These are minimum standards
5 miles in 40 minutes
12 miles ruck w 45lbs - 3.5 hours
65 pushups two min
65 sit ups 2 min
They don't do the run at the heavy, do they? 5 miles at 8 min per seems agressive to what I've seen in the past. The pushup/situp looks in line (and easy).
Usually don't do a 5 miler but we did a 2 miler for time at the Challenge.
I'm still sore
Yeah, that sounded viscious.

Been lifting all week but now my shoulder I had surgery on is real sore and week.......probably have been overtraining :-\
Can you do pushups?
Yes but honestly I haven't been doing them.
I'm serious - you should copy my workout for a month. You won't shrink and you'll be in great shape.
Since we're the same age, I think both bodies could use the break, even taking into consideration your forced layoff.
Which one? the one you're doing now?

Wtf do you need another squat rack for?
I thought you carried it over distance, and put it down. Do you turn?Hardest part of a yoke is the turn, in a medley you would carry straight and put it down.

lol, was just random arms and abs stuff, few sets of this and that.
Setting up the basement tomorrow for Yoke walks. I'm going to carry weights across my back with the ruck sack on, do lunges, shit like that. Is there a technique for turns? I imagine if the weight gets momentum, you could easily tweak a knee?Go slow and under turn, momentum is a hell of a drug. If it does go too far, don't fight it too much, just slow down or stop, re-adjust your footing and start again. You're using a barbell right? Not too sure about the momentum on that but a real yoke has alot, might be cause the weights are hanging/swinging already.

Lat night was bi's and tri's, and cardio
this morning was chest and back
I once thought I was the only SOB stupid enough to train chest & back together.
I don't always do it but I missed a workout during the week and I was short on time so I did super sets.....damn talk about losing strength towards the end of the workout!
Did chest & back tonight.
I've never tried super-setting the two. I've never been a big fan of super sets. I like giant sets that work the same muscle, but I'm not fond of training one muscle for one set, and then a different muscle right after with no rest. I never felt the second muscle got the effort it deserves that way.
When I superset lets say back and chest I'll switch back and forth. so if I do a chest exercise first then the next set I'll do back first.
Makes all the difference.
Not sure if sarcastic....

Do you ever switch the chest supported rows for plain bent over rows?

You're getting old. :(
I wish my hamstrings would allow me to bend my torso to that angle. I don't perform stiff-legged deads for the same reason.
I'm working on my flexibility, but an extremely tight lower body has plagued me since my early 20's. In my teens, I could almost do a full split and easily throw a kick over an average adult's head thanks to martial arts. I don't know what in the fuck happened to make me like I am now.

Shoulders last night.Good post Monty...
A current favorite exercise of mine is behind the back Smith machine upright rows. Wes and Chaos turned me on to them about a year ago. I backed off of doing the movement for a few months, and then returned to using them regularly towards the end of March.
I typically perform them after seated militaries and find there is no unwanted stress anywhere that is sometimes associated with uprights, and I catch an immediate pump exactly where you should feel it.

Last night was pull-ups
Still lifting 4-5 days a week but my cardio has been seriously slacking.
Did you mention in this or another thread a while back that you made a ruck sack?
I seem to recall somebody discussing the pros and cons of using army surplus duffle bags filled with sand.
I know you do a good bit of that Tough Mudder training. Any input?
Sorry dude - didn't see this!
I didn't make a ruck, I bought a GR1 and a GR Sandbag from goruck.com I've made pull sleds, plyo boxes, SS bar, though. We were talking to Calvin about which type of exercise sand to put in his sandbag, so maybe that's what you remember.
I have a sticky thread of the type of training I do - check it out from the beginning. Done Tough Mudders, Spartan sprints, supers, and have a Beast in Sept, followed by a GoRuck event. PM me if you have any specific questions.
....I was in the gym at 5:00am this morning :o

Rear delts seem to be a priority for you these days.
must be the Rows that do it ;)I'm sure he does rows on shoulder day. ::)
You do know Rowing in all variations hits upper back and rear delts. Of course face pulls are a special movement. I get great rear delt work from Barbell rowing. I was assuming this was the case while he never did much rear delt work. It´s like at the moment i am doing incline press and clean and press..however i know clean and press is in the clean portion of the movement very rear delt and traps. You got to think and look at the whole picture but i am sure you know this as a "mod" on the training Board.Shut up, Dummy

I have been way too rough on my body over the years...doubt I would be able to train seriously without defrancos advice at this point.
Thanks!
I know that Joe DeFranco and many other strength & performance coaches have their athletes use rollers and perform other similar myofascial work before training.
Surprisingly, I was listening to a podcast with Charles Poliquin this week, and he claims to be against using foam rollers because it can actually lead to increased formation of scar tissue.
Took a yoga class at my gym Sunday morning...it was torture while I was doing it but today is the best my lower body has felt in awhile including my back.
...no homo
The 80lb Goruck sandbag is only $55 right now (down from 95) and you get 50% off any 2016 event when you spend $50(approx. $100 savings).....you should buy in and sign up for a GR light.....

How do you like the inversion table?
I like it and it does help with my lower back and hip pain.
I've had it for awhile and kind of forgot about it and started using it again about 2 weeks ago and it definitely has lessened the pain.
People I know swear by it. Wonder if it's good practice for overall health / preventative stuff too.
Who knows, sooner or later I'm going to have to go see a Doc because I'm always sore/pain but it does help with lessening it.
the only time I felt completely pain free was for two days after a yoga class.

Someone just yesterday told me to add pullups to my workout!
This is why you get injured playing sports.
So doing rear delts is what's hurting my hamstrings?
Spending a whole workout on shoulders and neglecting overall conditioning.
You have built up enough mass that 3-4 sets of overhead presses will make you look exactly the same. You'd get enough stim from chest workouts, conditioning stuff, etc. All that other stuff is frivolous.
But, that's just one black man's opinion. Could easily be wrong.
Fine line for an old man like myself still trying to look jacked and still trying to play sports ;D
Exactly - but you wouldn't lose mass - I think SoulCrusher is the best example of this.
I'm scared to try!
Oh brother. If you think you'll lose mass doing squats, deadlifts, and presses, I don't know what to tell you. If you do, just up the dose for two months and it will all be back. ;D

You’ve undoubtedly seen bodybuilders and strongmen performing two very common ‘behind the neck’ exercises – the lat pull-down and seated military barbell press. And if you walk into any gym you’ll immediately find people who still use these old school exercises. But in recent years these same movements have come under fire with some saying that they’re bad for your shoulders and can cause serious damage.
So is it true? Are these types of exercises dangerous?
The short answer is yes they certainly are. But there needs to be some clarification as to what exactly “dangerous to your shoulder” means. Most people don’t realize that the reference to injury isn’t to the shapely shoulder muscles that we see on the outside of the shoulder joint, but to the much more delicate and intricate internal shoulder stabilizers called the rotator cuff.
The rotator cuff, as the name implies is a series of 4 small, intricate muscles that in simple terms stabilize and are involved in rotation within the shoulder joint. The problem with behind the neck exercises is that they involve pushing your shoulders’ external rotation to the limit. Essentially you’re placing your shoulder in a terrible position from which to push or pull, with impinged stability, placing serious strain on the cuff. Plain and simple – it’s just a bad spot for your shoulder to be in. In addition, even if you don’t suffer an injury you run the risk of over-stretching parts of the cuff, which can lead to a potential injury elsewhere in your routine.
The other issue is that frankly I’m not quite sure why anyone performs these movements to begin with. Performing a lat pull down or shoulder press to the top of the chest feels so much better and mechanically targets the muscles more effectively… and naturally I may add. Have you ever been under a bar and tried to press it behind your head? Or pull it down? It feels awkward and I never liked the movement, even in my earlier training days. Yet still some magazines and trainers will push these movements as must haves and mass builders. I say no way!
You know that I’m a firm believer in using your body in ways that help increase your functionality in real life. So can someone please tell me when you’d need to pull an object down behind your neck? Or press it over your head? You’d never do that in real life – you’d simply push the object straight up over your head such as when you place luggage in overhead bins. So in addition to this movement being potentially injurious, it offers no real functional benefit.
In summary – when it comes to ‘behind the neck’ movements being dangerous I have to say total FACT! Avoid them everyone!

Hit some add shoulders and arms this morning. Hate working out early morning.
How do you DL with a cambered bar?

Ok wrong name...whats the bar where you stand in the middle? you can also use it for traps.
Hex bar or trap bar.
Hex bar.
...skipped rear delts :o :'(
Rear Delts
Mr. ChaosStop exceeding the rep range if you're following a program, use chalk or liquid chalk if your gym bitches. A belt is fine with heavy singles to triples. I used my belt Friday for 5x5 deadlifts.
On my wendler program, the last lift of the day in each week three is a max effort.
This is my second week 3. On deadlifts, I've been exceeding the rep range. Last week was 12 reps (1-5 is good), this week I got 8, but my grip failed (think I had 12 reps that day).
Should I, uh, add straps for that set?
I've always felt you needed to lift the weight to say you lifted the weight. I don't use straps or belts, but the weight's enough for me where the grip failed. I also have broken finger on each hand in the last year (7 weeks ago on left hand).
I will follow your advice to the letter.
does anyone do pull ups
and if so how many can you do
Stop exceeding the rep range if you're following a program, use chalk or liquid chalk if your gym bitches. A belt is fine with heavy singles to triples. I used my belt Friday for 5x5 deadlifts.
What grip do you use? If your grip is failing, I would absolutely not use straps, start doing static holds at the end of your workout.

I'm not exceeding -???
???
The hex bar may be giving you an advantage in reps over a straight bar? Haven't used a trap bar enough for a truly honest opinion, still wouldn't strap in. chalk up, work grip strength. I used static holds and behind the back barbell rolls to help keep my grip from failing.
Anyone ever use the WOSS suspension trainer?
We have TRX in the gym and I like it - but want to get one for myself - WOSS is like $40 and TRX like $175
TRX is a good piece of equipment, but wildly overpriced. You make a similar thing from Home Depot with chain, pvc pipe and a few Caribiners....but I have one anyway, got it as a gift.

Sorry for talking about bodybuilding on a bodybuilding board!
....next you'll tell me not to do rear delts :o
We are talking bodybuilding.This is my thought. Lol
What is the difference between doing, say, three sets each of barbell, db, and preacher curls, as opposed to just doing 9 sets of db curls?
Keeps me from getting bored. I get to move around the gym and see whichhot broadstwo fags are checking me out 8)
Shoulders & traps.
Rear delts?
I always do something for rear delts.
Usually, it's as simple as reverse pec-deck, but I occasionally use face pulls.
Also, I love doing behind the back upright rows on the angled Smith machine, which I feel works that area a bit, along with the lateral heads.
I'm thinking of experimenting with some kind of wide-grip row for a while to see how I like that.

CalvinH soiling Chaos' training thread with suburban domestic problems in this thread.
Still lifting :)
That's fine, but why post it in the Chaos thread?
Huh?
I've just started trying the old, tried & true 8 sets of 8 reps.8 sets of 8 is a lot of lifting. I'd come down to 4-5 sets of 8.
Right now, I'm still experimenting a bit to find the right weight for everything.
Ideally, I'd like to find the correct weight to use for all of the movements using a 1-minute rest between sets. Once that's accomplished, I then plan to decrease my rest times by 5 seconds each week (I train each body part 1x/wk) until I work down to about 30 sec rests. Then, I will start over with the minute-long rests, but with heavier weights.
I don't know how practical this will be since different muscles adapt and improve at different rates. That's why I'm hoping the small incremental changes in rest times will adequately suit all of them.
I'd tried German Volume Training years ago. I liked the principle of the whole cumulative overload idea, but I found it difficult at times to maintain the proper focus and intensity for all ten sets - particularly after a demanding day at work.
Personally, I find the 8x8 to be more manageable.
Trainees will develop strength on these types of programs, but I believe the primary goal of them is hypertrophy. An added benefit is a touch of cardiovascular work once you get into the sub-45 second rests on the compounds, which certainly will provide a bit of conditioning.
Anyone here have any experience with the above?
8 sets of 8 is a lot of lifting. I'd come down to 4-5 sets of 8.
Heavy Squats
Defeats the purpose of volume training, no?I didn't see where he said he was trying volume training. IMO if you're truly lifting for 8 reps, 8 sets will be overkill. And the weight will have to drop in latter sets.
I didn't see where he said he was trying volume training. IMO if you're truly lifting for 8 reps, 8 sets will be overkill. And the weight will have to drop in latter sets.
Not my style, but if you've seen results in the past then it should work for you. I prefer more of a pyramid, with 3+ heavy sets, then 1-2 "cool down" sets.
No, no... Not each set is a max effort.
The concept is analogous to German Volume Training.
The idea is progressive overload. You're using the same weight for all eight sets.
Done in this manner, the first several sets are fairly easy.
Maybe sets 4-6 are getting tougher.
Set 7 should be difficult.
You should barely be able to complete set 8.
Does that make sense?
All eight sets are done with the same weight, but each set is increasingly more difficult than the previous.
Intensity is increased weekly by decreasing rest time between sets.
I prefer more of a pyramid, with 3+ heavy sets, then 1-2 "cool down" sets.
Why not just cycle how you train:
Use a method, when it starts to bother you, switch.
For example, if you use Chaos' pyramid method, then your joints hurt, do 6 weeks of lifting for time - light weights for a minute straight or something, then volume, etc....
You'll continue to be strong, but not wear out.

You can lift heavy shit, focus on mobility and have it all.Sounds like a chaos workout. ;)

If calvin changed is workout to 3 x 8-12 standing barbell presses and a few laterals he'd look exactly the same.

Currently at a uspsa shoot...I was just able to start lifting again a little over a week ago due to the surgery, but have constantly did cardio(all forms), and, and legs..and have not wavered at all from my diet! all these guys here are either fat bastards or holocaust victims..but they are all talking about CrossFit lolCouple of fellas been trying to get me to do those comps. What optics are you using?
I haven’t lifted for months and I am still bigger, stronger, and my endurance is way beyond them...these guys are winded after each stage..and the stages are short! I can hold 23 rounds in each mag and several stages did not require a reload!!
This is actually my first competition in the carry optics division..usually shoot limited...gonna sale my limited gun and focus purely on carry optics..it’s tha shit!
Bench
Couple of fellas been trying to get me to do those comps. What optics are you using?DeltaPoint Pro 2.5 moa on my 2 competition guns
DeltaPoint Pro 2.5 moa on my 2 competition gunsMaybe I don't shoot enough with the optics but I just can't get used to them. I really favor the plain old white dot iron sights. I tried the Vortex Viper, Trijicon, Eotech and Burris. Oddly the easiest for me to use was the Burris. It was on a compact 9mm. The Eotech sucked balls but in it's defense it had been abused. I think the Viper was too low profile in the window. For me, just a guy at the range, for now I think I'll stick with irons.
My duty and off duty guns all sport the trijicon rmr06 type 2....I am actually not a fan of the rmr..but it’s smaller and more comfortable to carry in the waistband. Plus it’s battery life is measured in years!
If the DeltaPoint Pro had better battery life I would never own another rmr

What is a "bird dog?"
I'm not being funny. Is that a type of plank?
Sort of actually.
You are on hands and knees and extend one arm out and opposite leg at same time. It's warmup stuff in my plan. Banded ones have the band on your hand and opposite foot for when you push back.
Might be a yoga thing for all I know.

My program called for back squats, so I switched it up and decided for once was going to do high bar squats and force myself to go full ass to the ground.The most humbling squat I've ever tried is overhead squats. Any tight spot you have will be revealed. I use them to warm up now before squats.
It is humbling.
Hoping it forces mobility/flexibility on me because I am putrid in that category.

That is actually what I'm hoping to progress to.Overhead squats will stretch your whole hip socket crazy and also pull your scapula back. I never realized how much that single move involves.
Can't even do it with a piece of PVC pipe.
For the first time, I noticed my hips not engaging at the end of the baseball season, and hitting the golf ball.
I have to fix that shit.
Once I tried overhead squats it gave me a whole new respect for people that do Olympic snatches.
I will continue to work on mobility (it's part of my program, but i always skipped it) so I can eventually do one of those fucking things.
Dude you should try the stretching (no homo) routine I posted awhile back.
It really does help.
Shit, did I miss that?
Will search.
Hulkotron Squat Challenge:
This morning I did a 100-rep squat workout, 10 sets of 10 reps with 135 lbs, max rest of one minute. Light weight by getbigger standards but I was pleased with it. I only weigh about 170 right now.
How much weight could you complete this workout with?

Hulkotron Squat Challenge:I did this a couple of weeks ago, good cardio but I wasn't nearly as sore as I thought I'd be. Workouts have been jack shit since Thanksgiving. I need to get my ass under some big ass weights soon.

It’s definitely feels different, are you suppose to be up on your toes more?
Easy to lose your balance.
Wide stance and back on your heels.

I find I have to take a much wider stance than I normally would and also have to grip the bar very wide.Like cuckoldtron said.

I use an empty bar and do a few sets to stretch for squats and deadlifts. I feel like it stretches the hips/low back and I notice a difference in my lifts.
Thanks,much better with my balance. I did one set as a warm up for regular squats.

Squats are full time again in my leg workouts.I like to go over and work out next to those guys, same lifts, triple the weight.
Bullying should be allowed in gyms. There are way to many young guys that weigh less then 1/2 of wes after he starves himself for a show but with 1/4 of the muscle in both gyms I go to. All in wife beaters or cut off sleeves making muscles in the mirrors and taking pics.
...When I was young and started in the gym and you tried to dress like that you'd get called out for it and be made to feel foolish.
I am wondering if full ass to grass squats are beneficial.
Every time I have done them I pull or tweak something stupid.
I literally strained the front inner part of my shin, and there's nothing there.
OR, I'm just suffering from extremely poor mobility and need to push through.

You see now that's just to easy a set up ;D
Finally did 4x10 for pull-ups.
I took a a little rest before my last set and that’s not something I usually do.
Leg workout this week was like going backwards.Hate it when that happens.
One of those times when you just struggle and are weak as shit :(
No idea why this happens, but it sure does.
Must be just a combo of hydration, sleep, etc.
Hate it when that happens.
Shaky and high ???
I was doing squats and I felt like if I was filmed it would look like bhanky video :'( :'(
…Of course I have better form but you know what I meant.
Shaky and high ???
Been biking and boarding. Wonder how leg day is going to go tomorrow. :(

Not too bad, but deep soreness in the quads kept me light. :(

I lifted some weights today.
Been rouch to stay consistent this year so far. This week has been spot on but numbers are miserably low.
My company I work out for was bought out so my training schedule is a mess as I'm figuring it all out.
I did legs at 6:45 am this morning and shoulders and traps at 5:00 pm so I didn't miss a workout this week.
Surely they will not "reorganize" a man of your strength level?
Fuck, took one week off from squats and I'm sore like it's the first time I've done them.
Squats is one of the lifts that drops the numbers the fastest for me if I don't stay on them.
Slow and steady.
I did them on and off for years and now I'm paying the price for trying to get back close to my old numbers.
Only workouts so far this week have been yardwork >:(You don't have mexicans out there ???
I did a "pull" (oh brother) workout today, deadlifts rows pullups five sets each then some curls for the girls.
I will posting future updates exclusively in this thread as the thread on the G&O has gotten too estrogenic recently.
I've been winging it a bit lately myself.
Tested my lungs post Covid for the first time the other day - 33lb pack, did 6 miles in the woods easy at a 14m in pace........alll good.
14:00/mile with a pack is pretty fast in the woods
Thank you.
I set an interval timer - 1.5 min rest (walk) / 1 min work (shuffle run).....comes out to 12-14 min miles depending on how hard I push the work part. Have to be careful though that you don't run, because that kills the ankle and hip flexors with the weight.
Bingo ;)
You can hit the numbers even w 30 sec shuffle
One of the gyms I go to added a sled and I did that instead of squats the last few weeks and when I did squats last night I was stronger.
Alternating between squats one week and sled the next. I like it and I find I can add more weight to the sled almost every workout.
What I've been doing lately is slow reps with hardly and time between sets.usually just a 10 count before I start my next set.
30 sec max when adding weight and have to load plates.I like this because I'm in and out of the gym fast but getting a great pump.
While I was working out today I witnessed a young kid struggle to bench 205lbs for reps.In my mind I was just about to start mocking him and then the strangest thing happened.He actually was doing full reps :o And when he was continuing to struggle one of his buddies came to help him and he strained out a ''No'' and he then banged out a couple more reps.
So...there is hope after all.
I've been working out steady all summer and doing lot's of cardio. Looking forward to a break when I take vacation in a couple weeks.
Where are you going CH?
Old ball and chain and I are going to Vermont in a couple weeks.
Y Boarders are not lifting/"training" these days?
Besides last weeks vacation I've been lifting and doing cardio steady since early spring.
I've gained 15 lbs of muscle this year, although I started at 156 lbs so not all that impressive still.

Crashing and burning lately with my workouts :(
...Been more food and drinking instead...
eh, you'll get it back....peaks and valleys happen for all of us.100% I'm just starting to get back into moving some weight, some days are still sucky. Just have to keep showing up.

I've had a good run working out lately.
Same.
I decided that with kids out, working from home full time, and basically a crossfit gym in my basement I need to do better.
I started an 84 day program last Monday and made a commitment to see it through. 6x a week is tough on my old ass, but I'm going to continue to try to complete this.
Haven't missed a day yet.......
Took a spill off the steps and twisted the shit out of my ankle. Foot was all swollen and black and blue. Hopefully get back at it Monday. :(
Video ??? :DHa, I wish.
No rest days ???
There was a guy on the flat bench yesterday with a 45lb plate on only one side.He would bring the weight down with one hand on the bar near the weight side then he would lift and throw the bar {Not very high} clap his hands then catch the bar where his hand was and did this for reps.Then he would switch hands and do the other side.
Reminds me a bit of “asymmetric benching” where you deliberately press it up first with one arm and then with the other.
Only ever see the smaller guys doing these kinds of things.
Dude was in shape but he does do some crazy balancing stuff. I saw him do a handstand on a upside down part of a half yoga ball. Then he started doing hand stand push ups.Natural selection
Sundays are rest and Wed/Sat are conditioning without weights. That said, not easy.
Wiped out with a cold/flu, finally broke down and got antibiotics.Is that the secret to weightloss?
...Did lose 10 lbs way to fast :-X :-\
Is that the secret to weightloss?
Not that way.Lots of people getting sick around me lately, none with the rona though, now it's called the flu.

Had a few day's off - not wanting to do anything much
Got to kick myself up the backside & get going again.
The death of my Dad has hit me hard. Harder than than I
Thought it would - thought i was kinda prepared for it. I was wrong. :'(
Off to gym now - do some upper body.

My training has been going well, finishing up baseball in a few weeks.
Went to the doc because of a nagging foot injury from 6 weeks ago isn't feeling better.
Turns out my foot is broken, and I have to do six weeks in a boot.
Not very thrilled about this.
I did squats this morning, 10x3
I did it again this morning.
It is good to see The Committee™ getting on top of (nh) the bhanks situation.
This is no tolerance for unofficial lists and data analysis in these parts.Not a big deal with your strike out record. :D
On another note, I continue to play baseball and not permit my broken foot to heal, and delay my 6-8 week walking boot stint.
Not a big deal with your strike out record. :D
I will now officially be in a walking boot for six weeks.
Workouts will be different, but more frequent.
That sucks!
Well at least I won't catch anymore shit for playing ball with a broken foot for 3 months.
Going to lift a bro-type upper body work, with battle ropes and some other shit for condition.
I think I can do reverse hypers and RDL's in the boot too.
Where is it broken?
Sesamoid bone, right on the ball of the foot.
Basically every step taken normally has been pain for 3 months.
I was starting to compensate, which doing during sprints and baseball, is starting to lead to ankle/knee tweaks, so I have to shut it down and get it right.
I think I may have broken a bone in BJJ myself a few weeks ago
I wouldn't be able to walk the next day after BB workouts like that, good work illOOminatiI'd trade you. :D
Day two in walking boot:
TBar row: 12, 10, 3 x 8
Seated row 3x 8
UH pull row on incline 3 x 8
Dead hang 2 sets
Feels so limited right now.
I'd trade you. :D
Just started getting back into weights, pathetic #'s
Stick with it, and you'll be fine.I realized that once you take a break, it's difficult to get that habit back in place.
But.......stick with already fool.

Trained legs earlier today,
Didn't feel particularly strong or great in the gym
Did a fair workout considering,
Only now 8hrs later my legs are seizing up & not
Functioning properly....... 🤷🏻♂️ 🤣😂🤣
Hit them harder & better than I thought at the time.
2 weeks with the flu,1 week with a bad back,1 week with covid >:(
Hiked 9 miles Thursday. Hips are sore of all things.
Just getting back into lifting after two months off. Longest break I've taken in years besides when being injured.
Sometimes life just gets in the way but it feels great to lift again.
Sounds homo but it's like spiritual for me. My life is just better mentally and obviously physically when I train.
Only made it to the gym three times last week. Trying this week to get back to my normal of Mon-Fri with weekends off.
Should be decent weather this weekend so looking forward to a family hike with the dog.
We have a great dog park in our city with a big open area and miles of trails through the woods.
When I use to do the OCR's this is where I would run to train.
Cool.Those trail maps and guides are always off. Headed out for a 7.9 mile hike, followed the trail, no offshoots and still hit 9.4 miles.
I tested my foot with a trail walk - was supposed to be 2 miles, then got fucked up on the map and it went 4.85. Was sore, and had me worried, but felt ok next day so who knows.
Been a bunch of start and starts but I'm back in the gym. Going back to old style lifting for me, heavy sets with proper rest in between.Same here, been staying consistent for the last few weeks now, feeling pretty good.
...Glad I was able to take the dog for a long walk Sunday before the snow. I let him go wherever he wanted and stop and smell as long as he wanted. A couple times I swear he looked at me like "You sure I can stay here and sniff this tree for 5 minutes if I want ???" ;D

Squats tonight, light weight with real slow reps. I'm working on my form. Like I mentioned before my right leg is bigger then my left so working on that.Been doing some offhanded cardio type stuff. Burpees, sandbags, etc. Will hit the weights again next week.
It's not like it's obvious but I can tell.

Are you doing some pistol squats?
No I need to try that. You just reminded me by bringing them up that I should also add Bulgarian squats to my workout.I use the movements for warming up, find myself getting a pump from them.
I cannot do a pistol squat
I can only imagine how bad it will be the first time I try ;D
I do pistol squats to a bench, otherwise I'm sure I'd fall on my ass. ;D
Tried it and needed to be near the squat rack so I could grab on to keep my balance ;DHave you seen these assholes doing the Dragon squat? >:(

Back including deads with the Hex bar.
Still working on form and it's more comfortable for me to use the Hex instead of the straight bar.
High handles or regular?
High.

Ok fucked up question.
When you use the straight bar for deads or lets say shrugs, don't you kinda crunch yourself in the you know what when the bar gets mid level?

You must have very short arms or very saggy balls if that is the issue.
You must have very short arms or very saggy balls if that is the issue.This one here. Although I have slammed my sack doing cleans. :(
Shoulders, rear delts, traps.
Always has been one of my favorite workouts.
Aren't rear delts part of "shoulders"?
Today and tomorrow off.
I keep having to slow myself down and take my time between sets. I'm so use to just doing a ten count and starting again.
It's been a while, my flat bench sucks >:(
...My goal is to get back to my old bench work out weights.
You'll get there.
I do not believe I can accomplish this feat.
Ed Coan workout 4 out of ten. I have made progress each week, and now have two lighter weeks, followed by four more to the goal of 400. The chaos account's subtle changes made a world of difference - the 360 went up easy, easier than the 340 last week. Listen to this man.Thanks for the kudos, look forward to the next video of 405. 8)

Chest
All the flat benches were being used so I did more incline and worked backwards from my normal routine.
Maybe this will "confuse the muscle" to "stimulate growth".
Did some legs today. I'm kind of starting to get into this weight lifting thing again.
Skipped chest today, will make up for it tomorrow. >:(
Damn life!
Life get in the way ??? >:(

Me doing a full leg workout Mon and following with a 5 mile trail run on Tues is not optimal for my lower body recovery.weight training & serious running is..OK but as you wrote not before a serious run or Ruck as you guys call it.
Going to have to rephase shit a bit.
weight training & serious running is..OK but as you wrote not before a serious run or Ruck as you guys call it.
If you are training for as they call it a "tough mudder" or any serious assault course type events i would advise a body weight type training with chins/pull ups & basic push ups. Legs High rep stuff no ego squats.
staminia is the king. I saw big guys suffer on runs ..always be muscular but not like the Hulk.
I like how the US Navy Seals train, they have upper body strength & lower body plus staminia
Back and biceps today. Have I ever told you guys how much I hate curls?

Doing bench weighted dips and I asked a younger guy to help me with a super set with 45lbs. I told him take one off after 10 reps until there were none and he said he'd help me put the plates on.
...Then he tries to put the first 45 on my shins :-\
All good advice, but I'm good.
Did a 20 hour rucking event last June and was fine.
I tailor my training to my goals, right now I'm trying to gain strength after injury recovery.
I will then switch to more endurance type stuff.
yes i know that you´ve the experience as you run or ruck for years. we used to call it getting a Beasting.. I´m still amazed that people actually pay to do this type of training ;D
Go for the US Navy SEAL Reserves if they have one & you´re young enough. I know in the UK they have SAS part timers, 23 SAS i believe.
I mean you seem to love it so maybe use the training
I hear ya but I have never had any desire to join anything "real military". I've just believed they have training done right, and I do the events for the camaraderie with friends, to hear the real life stories from actual cadres, and actually learn some stuff.Fair one but i think you could have been a Military man. I did 9 years & i still think in some cases military wise but again i like my peace & quite now.
I'm over 50 though, no reserves lol.

Based on what I know, maybe yes.The Military is like this, you get as close to a man without being Homosexuel.
Just never found it desirable.

Can't wait to see chaos in his onesie pics from the curl contest :)
Me the wifey and the dog went for a trail walk that turned into a loooong walk when we took a couple of wrong turns trying to follow the trail markers.

Shoulder day :D
Saw a tib thing on FB for half price - was thinking of getting it.
There's a couple different kinds out there.
I stand on one foot on a block and do them with bodyweight.
I've seen that one, and one done against a wall.
This one on FB is from The Tib Guy. It's basically a small bar that holds an olympic plate and you flex/curl it. It was half price and I know tib training is important, or at least trendy enough to give it a shot.
Is it one of these?
Let me know how you like it.

I was dianosed with a SLAP labrum tear a while ago but started a bench program no problem. It's weird, and I wonder if that's what I really have.
Mines been off/on for decades. Honestly hurt it first as a small kid, I was obsessed with throwing hard for baseball.
(Dumb move).
"Threw it out" early on. Just been re-injuring over the decades, lots of scar tissue.
My own fault though, it will heal, Ill get back on a heavy bench program, and when I top out it will happen again.
I'm finally getting "OK" with it and accepting it, and just working around it. (Before I'd work it still and ignore the pain or mask it with OTC pain meds (Tylenol, etc).
(Again, not very bright).
Feels good just to ge tback under a bit of weight, even if its smith-machine. (I focus more on triceps with my pressing, than chest anyways).
There is no apostrophe necessary in "degrees".
Y board has standards of excellence.
You got those epic old school collars that are like 5lbs each.
I remember them well.
5.5 lbs each.
The bar weighs 39 lbs.
39 + 11 is an even 50.
I had a bar like that once.
Couldn't figure out why my bench in the gym was always a rep or so weaker than at home.
Found out it was the bar not being 45lbs.
I was wondering why 405 on the SSB bar felt heavier than on Power-Bar. When I weighed it, it then made sense, 55 lb. bar...
Hex bar always felt weird to me. Like an awkward farmers walk.
I like it.
Now I don't.
Felt more like a squat/leg exercise instead of a hip hinge when I tried it last time.
I have 2 of 'em, and I dont use 'em.
I use them all the time for deads and sometimes for traps.
Had my creatine with Welch's Grape Juice 1998-style, about to go have a monster workout.

The high quality calibrated comp plates, like Eleiko, Ivanko (etc) are normally milled to a very close spec/tolerance.
The rest of the cheaper cast plates are all over the map...
Not that it matters since I'm not professional, but I was lucky to score some Pendlay Elite bumpers off FB Marketplace from a guy who was moving across country and wanted to dump them. Those are pretty cool and I assume true to weight, but never weighed them.
Those are nice, great find... I have 10 of the Ivanko's off Craigslist for 200.00 (a steal). (Pre-RONA)
These things are right on. I also have around 8 of the old machined/milled York plates which are very accurate as well.
I painted mine black, I dont like the original color..

Sweet.
Deadlift has been bothering my dodgy hip lately so yesteday I did kettlebell swings instead (nh).
Do any of you do them?

Legs and chest today. :-X
Same day ???Yeah. Lots of basic, compound sets.
Speak more on squeezing the old pool-noodle
Being on vacation, missed the Friday bench day of week four of the program.
The question is to decide whether to just treat this as week four on repeat, drop back a week, or just move forward.
Probably repeat week four.
Did you see any canaries on your vacation?
As far as the bench just resume like nothing happened.
Since everyone is asking, I repeated week 4's Monday with no strength loss. My son actually added a few reps.
I knew you could do it, Grape.
Chest and Tris
For the first time, I got hit by a pitch last night in the thigh.
I hope you took unkindly to this disrespect?
Never could stand zerchers.
They tax the core a ton, but I just find them too uncomfortable to work through
Never could stand zerchers.Hate Zerchers. Never got anything from them that I couldn't get from more conventional types of squats.

Today...
Zerchers and sandbag carries and calves.
Added more sand to 150lbs.
Did this out in the garage.
Caught another mouse in a trap. They been a problem but caught two in the last week.
You can't beat the traditional mouse trap. Brutal. Cheap. They just work. No mercy to these cute little creatures.
nice
Calf raises-felt a little homo :-[
Underhand curls-not sure if that what it's called
Those are called "curls"
Yeah I know but where you sit on an incline bench facing the bench.
I has been in a rut with a biceps strain in left arm, and forearm tendon strains in the right forearm.
Literally even hurt to throw a cornhole beanbag. Sore to the touch.
I will try to train today, as they are feeling better.

Losing what ever slight muscles I had from all the running I'm doing. Getting skinny.
What brand of cardio are you rocking these days Calvin?
Arms last night.Outed!
Still struggling trying to figure out how to be a hybrid athlete.
Day 1: Lift + 10-20 min conditioning
Day 2: Run
Day 3: Rest or walk / mobility
Repeat.
It would work if I did a whole body type lifting session instead of a split.

Fall is upon us, so I started rucking season.
I should have made a left turn at albuquerque, because I ended up going 8 miles instead of my planned 4-5.
Time 1:54:51
8 miles
Zone 5: 0:02
Zone 4: 25:44
Zone 3: 39:41
Zone 2: 44:50
Zone 1: 3:23
Avg pace: 14:22
The good: Happy I can just roll out and do this. Pace is good for 35lbs.
The bad: I was not conditioned for this, especially in the feet/ankles region. Had nagging outer shin pain and developed a blister, something I never do if I ramp up.
That's awesome.
8 miles is far and you are carrying weight.
Doing that in under 2 hours is really moving.
Fantastic.
Shoulders, traps, rear delts.
Rear delts are an assumed part of "shoulders"

Don't you think that either of you should weigh more then Dj181 before you talk about lifting ???

Lifted for shoulders and delts today. Tomorrow is a five mile run. I think I know why I can't dip under 8 minute miles despite running 5 -6 miles at a clip. I need to do speed work. The other answer is that I'm just too old and beat up. I hope it's the former.
What is this rucking stuff? Were you in the military carrying a lot of gear and want to continue it in civilian life? Why not just run or walk fast?

Get well, Grape.
Deadlift workout same as last one, but 370lbs for two. Got it, didn't strain too hard, but it hardly felt "good".Great deadlifts my friend !! ;)
2 deload weeks, followed by 4 more progression weeks.
Speed work was 6 sets of 3 at 310lbs with 90 sec rest
Thank you boys.Bro...
I'm not setting any records for sure, but I do enjoy going for a PR every now and then, even at this age.
I think after this I may try to get into a very lean condition, then build back up. Might follow a wes type diet.
Bro...
Started the Coan/Phillip Deadlift Routine on the recommendation of the Mighty Grape Ape, did week #2 this morning.
I will be glad when it moves beyond the weeks with the eight sets of speed deadlifts.
Nice.IMO one of the most underrated lifts for improving deads and squats
The first four workouts are a bitch because of the progression. If you put in a 330 max, you'll be doing a 350 double in 4 workouts.
When I did it last April, I used 330 current with a 400 desired. When I got to week 8, my 380 went up, but it was so bad I thought about calling it. Guy who put me on said, no, stay to course. 400 went up easy two weeks later, and I think I had another 10-20 in the tank.
One advices: Really push the RDLs. I used to baby them. Go f'n heavy while maintaining form. I find them harder than the main deadlift doing this way.
IMO one of the most underrated lifts for improving deads and squats
I like that split GR.
Once I finish Coan, might go that route, or something similar.
You're a beast, Grape.
I did a bunch of ab stuff.
No disrespect intended IroNat but there are guidelines/regulations about "Core Day" around here.
Barbell squats - 3 sets
Leg extensions - 3 sets

Did you time your max lifts with the the greatest harmonized sound drop in 80's rock history?
Any of you do hack squats often?Never felt good to me, tried a bunch of different types of platforms too.
They have never felt comfortable to me. I can see getting hurt doing them more than just a regular barbell squat.

Sleds before squats actually helped squat in terms of being warmed up. Every other day thing keeping me fresh, but will break that today with a run.
excellent .. I know you are one of the real people on here. you do it Grape.
I appreciate the kind words Donny.
The ruck is my favorite because I had a friend ask me about it about 5 months ago, because he didn't like to run but wanted more challenge to a walk - so I lent him one. It went so well that he gets up at 5 am and goes solo 4x a week, but now we have a standing time early Saturdays where we go through woods and up and down a small mountain near us. For me it's great, because doing something like this with a buddy makes it much more enjoyable, and I'm also seeing this guy progress and want new challenges - so it makes me do better too.
you are a good ManLet's not jump to conclusions now. :D

Legs yesterday
Back the day before
Chest the day before that
It's more like a speed bump, but that qualifies here. They also ski it, and the "black diamond" (all relative again), is steep as fuck with weight.
Week 8 of Coan in the books.Try eating more the day before and start hitting the hammies harder.
Got the max rep, but for the first time ever got the shaky-shake a little during the rep. Not a fan of that.
This rep was 10lbs less than my week ten max rep in April. Basically, it shows up in week 8 instead of 9 based on my inputs.
Anyway, of course this creates a bit of doubt. Reasons are likely twofold - I'm about 5-6 lbs lighter than last time, and this time I haven't really been doing any heavy leg work, whereas I squatted during the last cycle. Probably a combo of both.
If I fail next week, will probably start adding a bit more heavy leg work, while trying to keep my poundages at a minimum 90% of current max.
Try eating more the day before and start hitting the hammies harder.
That's a good idea, or may just eat all weekHow do RDLs feel to you? Do you stand elevated and get a good stretch?
Heavy RDLs are part of the program on Monday.....I will add another round of something else on Thurs.

Shoulders today
I thought it was pretty much established that down here "arms only" workouts are strictly forbidden outside of Pride Month.You are correct. Clavins rainbow flag is showing.
I'll defer to Hulkotron on how to address this.
Might be a "don't ask, don't tell" situation.
It is better than scheduling a "Core Day" I suppose.

Back last night.
I hope hanging leg raises otherwise a reverse crunch would be better, advanced on an incline.

The Y board lifting thread.
...Helping lifters since 2009 8)
Are you asking for opinions, Grape?
I think if you can do a 10-mile ruck carrying 30-40 lbs you are in darn good shape.
You could add a few more lbs next time if you want or just increase the distance I suppose.
Sprinting is really good for hip mobility. Can you do sprints?
I did them on the treadmill Wed. I was doing 10 sec sprints, then stepping off for 20 sec. Started at 10mph, then increased speed each set until I maxed it at around 12. While I like trail running and rucking offroad, and even in bad weather, I don't feel that way about sprints, because hitting some ice, or any slip and I could pull something.
So I do them inside in the winter. I choose 10 sec because that's more than I need when I play baseball, and I think it conditions me.
I use an incline of one, but if I do them more I vary that too (this wed was first return).
Injuries (delt, elbow) back at 95% after 3 weeks of bpc-157. Stuff seems to really help me.
(May not be for everyone or for all injuries). But feeling good... (After suffering for like a year and waiting for them to heal on their own)..
This AM:
I have a few nagging injuries going on.

I've been lifting but not really going all out. I go through this every year this time, right before Xmas until after new year.
So last night I was lifting and I hear weights hit the floor real loud. I look over and a guy was doing deads for reps with 475lbs and dropped the last one too fast. He looked over at me and said "Sorry" ;D
I thought Planet Fitness didn't allow heavy deadlifting.

This was my suspicion but wanted to check for sure.Sumo deadlifts are training for cock squatting, that's why you see so many chicks doing it.
Woke bastard.
Most lifters in my gym when doing deads just do the lift then just drop the bar with no effort to lower it :-\

Lowering the weight controlled takes effort and most people are trying to do the least they can.
I always try to lower the weight controlled.When they just drop the weight,the idiots lose have the benefits.
The last couple of times doing traps I've used the staright bar and noticed the difference. Both times I felt sore which doesn't happen with db's or face pulls.
When they just drop the weight,the idiots lose have the benefits.I try to tell people these things but nobody wants to work.
One thing I never see people do these days on deads is when the lift is completed at the top,they never lean slightly back to contract the erectors.
if you look back at the power meets of the 70`s and 80`s everyone did this from Vince Anello to Lamar Gant.
I try to tell people these things but nobody wants to work.Buncha` soft snowflakes in the gyms of today!

When I first started lifting you'd hear about from the old timers. Some 150lb string bean in a wife beater would be told to go put a shirt on ;DHell yeah bro.......I could tell you lots of incidents where the flotsam and jetsam (shades of Vince Basile ;D ) in my gym were humiliated by people. :D
That's a really good price for eggs.My younger sister back in Mass. told me yesterday that they were over 6 dollars a dozen there.....that`s just fucking insane greed.
They have gone up a lot because of the bird flu.
Best I can find is ALDI for $3.96/dozen.
My younger sister back in Mass. told me yesterday that they were over 6 dollars a dozen there.....that`s just fucking insane greed.
I hate the guy across the street but he had so many eggs he offered them to us for free but my wife insisted on paying the KUNT so he asked for 2 bucks........personally,and I have my reasons, I was gonna` break his legs a few years back with a bat,but I digress. :D
My fridge is full but I`m not actually training just exercising but now that I have that fucking port in my chest it`s curtailed a lot of stuff I was doing.......sorry to ramble but I`m a bit pissed off about it.
Eggs will cure you. They have anabolic properties.
The bright orange yolks are usually indicative of the pasture raised hens.You Sir, are an eggspert 🥚
I am currently in Florida - the pastured eggs are 8-11 bucks a dozen here. In Assachusetts, those are 7 bucks easy, unless you get a costco that has the pastured ones instead of cage free.
Either way, wes has the best egg deal on the planet.
Eggs will not help my Cancer at this point fellas.......starting fucking Chemo on the 31st.......my still halfway young looking mug will soon be gone a long with my Fabio like flowing locks.....my face will look as old as Hankys ! :(If that fool hears your call and shows up down here, I'm flying to bumfuck New York and knocking the dust off your ass.

Tri Set: Pull up / Reverse Hyper / Push up
Technically those are Tri-Sets Nat.
Nit Picker Of Peace ;D
Geez, I looked it up.
https://barbend.com/giant-sets/
Giant sets are very similar to tri-sets but consist of four or more exercises that stimulate the same muscle group in slightly different ways. They are performed back to back without any rest. A rest period only follows after completing the full cycle of four or more exercises.
What if I do more than six exercises in my "giant set"? What is that called ???
It's important to get the nomenclature down right if you want to maximize gains.

You can add more exercises or repeat as many times as you feel the need to do.
Works exceptionally well in achieving a great skin tight pump.....especially using brief rest periods.
Doing this on legs or back is a fucking monster,but delts and arms while still painful as a bitch is of course "easier".
Me and my training partner would do this stuff adding weight each set and "regular" people,you know the gym deadwood, would gather round and stare at us as if we were insane......which is what it takes to do this kind of shit. ;)
yes you were ripped to the Bone Wes.. Quality muscle.Thanks Donny.....I also like pre-exhaust and for example would do Flyes,then Smith Machine Inclines,or Pec-Deck followed by Dips,etc. etc,.....using chest as just one example.
Personally i have always liked the pre-exhaust thing normally doing :
preacher curls ( SS) then Undergrip chins
I actually found this better than strapping extra weight for my chins which i did of course try. Just didn´t feel my muscles like when doing pre-exhaust

Doing a chest isolation exercise before bench pressing obviously would limit the weight you could use on benches and on other compound exercises in other examples, so lots of guys would skip this type of training due to their egos taking a blow, entirely missing the point of pre-exhaust training.
exactly Wes & i think it was Soul Crusher mentioned on another thread DB Squats are great . Leg extensions then DB Squats for a great Burn.Yup,SC does those a lot....tough gruelling stuff.

I never had legs but I did some fucking insane leg workouts that would cripple most people.
Shitty Genetics Of Peace ;D
i´ve been blessed in that respect as i have always had solid legs, a good base. back too but not good on Bench press.I stopped benching years ago......I opted for alternating DB Inclines and Smith Machine Inclines.....my Pecs were always decent.
infact i prefer incline press. I think everyone has some weak point ;D

Incline press feels more natural to me & for my shoulders.
You should try working out, Donny.
It would be good for you.
Not sure if joking ???
If not take it to another thread then this one.

We do have standards down here.
So with it being January my gym has the resolutioners that join for a month or two. All of a sudden I'm smelling weed when walking by or someone walking by me :-\ To each their own but how can people work our while stoned ???
Drug culture.
I've never smelled weed in my gym.
If I did, it could be an uncomfortable conversation with my cats.
Can you smell catnip?
...My cats love that shit!
One cat loves it - eats it, just acts normal.
Other cat doesn't care for it.
One cat is Irish and the other is not.
Are tuxedo cats Irish or are calicos?
Whichever one likes to imbibe?
Cold weather on the East Coast has quickly gotten rid of the New Years Crew.
I've been going daily but still haven't picked up the intensity yet. Just kind of cruising through my lifts.
When the time is right, you'll know.X 2
Until then, carry on.
Baseball practice outside or inside, Grape?
I have a mound, tee, and a net in my basement.
Too cold to do this outside, but playing in a tourney in Fla in March, so have to do something to prep
Hopefully get some real swings at a facility prior.
Nice.
Thanks - the mound is cool - someone built it out of wood and put shitty carpet on it. Gave it to me and I had scrap astroturf that I used, and cut up some rubber flooring to make the pitching rubber....now it looks awesome. Not bad for a freebee.
I will admit Walmart has the best plastic bags for storing scooped catshit from the litter box.
I say this will 100% seriousness.
They have thick plastic bags, the kind that doesn't tear.
Compare that to target (reusable cloth), Trader Joes (paper) or other supermarkets (shitty, easily tear-able plastic) and it's not even close.
The best things in life are free.
Or from Walmart.
Grape,
When you go to Florida to play baseball do you have a team that all go down there together to play in a tournament?
Nobody lifts anymore ??? >:(
