Today's my second day off. Not sure what to do with myself. Guess I could always eat more food. lol

 

[The Grim Repper]

Slept in a bit, up, ready to smack Friday around. Tonight it's hammies calves and abs at the new house.

 

[thebrick]

Its a hot sunny one here in the south so I hopped on the old hog and went to the gym for a gun show. Best therapy ever.

Good to see everyone. Hope all is well with T too. You guys have a great weekend!

 

[The Grim Repper]

Great night at the new place. Waited for my buddy - who was an hour late - chilled with a good friend of mine, we talked lifting, life, liquid grip and tv shows and the perils of hydrating late in the day and peeing all night. LOL
Then my bud showed, we killed calves and hammies. Honest work.
Too tired to log it here, will do tomorrow. My legs are feeling nice, solid, and swollen. Good stuff!

Grim, you like the liquid grip? The owner lives within walking distance of me and I don't even use it.

I like regular chalk.

 

[Sandpig]

After taking two days off I'm heading to the gym soon. Gonna try Phil Hernon's routine of low volume, high frequency.

So looks like today I'll be doing ches, back, delts and tri's for three working sets each.

I like chalk too, new house forbids it (even though it's a real gym) so looks like liquid or clandestine chalk use on heavy sets under the radar. lol

 

[Sandpig]

Routine went well. Was done in 45 minutes.

I still haven't seen Phil's routine laid out anywhere. That's fine. This is my interpretation and I'm not gonna run it forever. Maybe through the summer up to the Olympia as long as I keep progressing.

Have a heavy work day this afternoon so I decided to hit back this AM early. I knew it was now or never and things have been rolling so I didn't want to stop my momentum. Had my doubts walking in as I thought my body/ joints would not be awake yet Got on the treadmill for 10 minutes to get warmed up. Then hit rack reads. I surprised myself. Had my best pulls since chemo. Then on to t-bars, one arm dumbell rows and then close grip pull-downs. Walked out sweatin' and smiling :headbang:

You guys have a great day and make some noise with the iron.

 

[MattG]

Another rainout halfway through work, so i get to hit the gym instead . We usually shoot for 4 11-12 hr days mon thru thursday so we get off 3 days in a row over the weekend. But im not complaining, ill sacrifice my friday off for arms and traps tonight, better than waiting a couple more days. Have a good one bros!
