ok training log for today

i hit the gym really late, no pwo before, didnt eat all that well... its pretty obvious im slipping now... when it takes you longer and longer and longer to get to the gym eventually you wont make it all so i need to sort this.

some kid occupied the smith machine for a good half an hour, he probably did oh presses, bench and incline, and rested or meditated between sets, dont know what the hell that was all about so i skipped it 

wasnt a great workout but at least i made it there, everything counts, everything matters even the not so great workout adds something. or so i tell myself 

[ratherbebig]

oh yeah!

training time!!

i had a hueg meal and then i had to sleep for 1-2 hours. but now im starting to get into the groove. ill have my pwo ready shortly and watch some dorian yates and choose a record to play while in the gym

great gains ahead!!

[ratherbebig]

hit the gym, i got it all for myself 

over stretched a bit in the lat pulldown, so i took shoulders out of todays routine.

did ok rows. bench. legs. but nothing special. will be back stronger in two days.

[ratherbebig]

i have tutti frutti flavor. i only use about 1 scoop, still trying to find the right dosage. not very impressed, especially since it kinda costly.
would probably not buy again.

ive decided to add a few exercises for 2017:

a couple of sets of leg presses for hamstrings and glutes.

some neck work.

one leg calf raises.

still got problems with my elbows, but im considering training arms once a week see how that feels.

thats about it

Light high rep hammer curls will help with sore elbows.

[ratherbebig]

thanks ill give that a try and see how it feels. ive always liked hammer curls.

[ratherbebig]

i did two sets of hammer curls. 15 reps and 12 reps. very slow with one arm at a time. i dont feel any particular pain, nothing unusual. feels good to at least SOME direct armwork. i dont really believe in the idea that you should stay away from training arms altogether just cause your elbows hurting, just avoid SOME exercises

[GR1982]

My elbows was bothering my some years back and at the time I stopped doing all direct triceps work and started doing high rep hammer curls and the pain subsided. After the elbow pain is gone start adding in triceps work

[ratherbebig]

good to hear. did you do 12-15 reps or even higher?

[GR1982]

good to hear. did you do 12-15 reps or even higher?

15-20 reps

great workout today!

seated rows 3x10 - very strict, elbows close to the body, pull all the way to the navel.
incline rows cybex 3x10 - slight weird machine, but one i can do without involving elbows too much.
incline chest 3x10 - my goto chest exercise while training alone.
oh press 2x10 - light weights, more for pump than anything else.
machine chest presses 2x10 - pump finisher.
lateral raises 3x10 - slow and strict.
shrugs 2x12 - with plates, holding them without using thumbs. slow and strict.
hammercurls 2x15
leg presses 3x10 - deep.
leg extensions 3x12 - slow and strict.
leg curls 3x12 (supersetting) - slow especially on the negatives.

crazy pump in arms after only 2 sets of hammers, done very slow one arm at a time, i feel people eyeing me thinking its light weight but i dont see anyone else doing one arm at a time up to 15 on those slow and strict, no momentum. wouldnt surprise me if i get better growth from that alone than a lot of people just throwing the weight up.

[NaturalWonder83]

Sounds good

How many gummi bears post workout?

If you want to energize before your workouts just down about 2 cups or so of coffee and eat a tbsp of coconut  oil. That's what I do and it works like a charm and is alot healthier then those preworkout things you can buy. You can also add whey protein to it
