Sometimes it's gotta be done. Reality comes first.

Good to see you IB!

Had a good back session yesterday. Had my best pulls since Mr. Cisplatin was coursing thru my veins in May. Love hitting back. Makes my world go 'round.

Gonna rest today. 3 good ones in a row. Time for the ol man to take a rest day. Sun is bright and work is slowing down for the 4th so sounds like some yard work is on my menu. Can I count that as cardio?

Have a good one guys and don't forget to buy the grill supplies.

Killed chest, back, delts and tri's today

Not sure why but I had a great pump and I'm only doing three work sets per body part. But I'll take it.

 

[MattG]

About to go punish bis tris and traps. Then chest, back, delts tomorrow. Gotta look my best for the holiday festivities . Saturday off, have party and camping to go to, then hopefully feel good enough to blast legs on Sunday. Hope you brothers have yourself a great 4th tomorrow and be safe!

 

[Sandpig]

I'm gonna train and work tmrw
Then I get Saturday off from both.
No work on Sunday or Monday

 

[thebrick]

Trained shoulders and traps yesterday. I did a flyes only workout for delts, no pressing. I think it was better for my shoulder pains. Planning on doing that now. Traps went good too. Love shrugging a heavy barbell.

Planning on guns today. Gotta look nice shoving BBQ in my face later And there are a couple Shiner Bock's in the fridge with my name on it.

You guys have a great 4th!!

 

[Sandpig]

Legs and bi's first thing in the am yesterday.

Set the tone for a great day.

Off today. Going to support some friends at a local show today.

Have a good one guys.

 

[thebrick]

Hit guns on the 4th. Gym was mostly empty. Gotta love it. It was hard and heavy. I am really trying to ramp it back up and I seem to be making some headway.

Wife and I hit a good BBQ spot for dinner. Pulled pork, baked beans, cole slaw and cornbread. Chilled out at home later and watched the neighborhood party. Perfect for an after-workout recovery.

Got legs down for today.

Hope you brothers had a good one too!

 

[Phoe2006]

Hit chest and bi's yesterday first day of lifting this week being on the road in a small town really sucks especially through the holidays no one at the local gym to get a pass. Monday moving to a bigger city so much easier to find a gym. Been on standby all week but hell still getting paid so no complaint here. Just boring

 

[The Grim Repper]

Yesterday was legs with a good friend of mine. Powerlifter, BBer, genetic mutant. SHE is amazing. We hit leg press I go you go style from 3 plates up to 10 a side then back down to 3. Followed by hacks, smith squats. Lying leg curls, seated leg curls. I did stiff leg dls, she did walking lunges we finished up with hypers - she was concentrating on glutes only, I was working hams/glutes/erectors, so different ROM. She texted me last night, "My legs feel like they're bleeding. How are you?" I LOLd. Legs are really full today, not too bad, but the aerobic component of those presses was murder. Awesome.

Happy late 4th guys. Still moving. Caught a needed shoulder workout cause I was in severe shoulder pain and needed them some theraband and old fashion iron and now better. Thks Grim. Today legs and currently in cramp mode city so I am pounding down some watermelon at 12 midnight. Im still around and sorry not as much. Great seeing everyone is having some blown up gym time. ..

I'd love to train with a female that can kick my ass or at least keep up with me.

 

[Sandpig]

Double post

 

[thebrick]

Phoe, hope you can find a kick-ass gym and throw some weights!!!
Grim, that sounds freakin' awesome. Love it.
IB, man! good to see you. Glad you checked in!

I hit legs yesterday. Making progress but I have a ways to go after missing those months. Slow and steady.

I'm gonna be scarce for a few days brothers. Wife and I are headed to the beach for a few days. I'm gonna be washing down fried oysters and soft-shell crab with a couple cold ones. Gonna give the diet the finger until later in the week. I am planning to train a couple days. There is a small but nice gym very close. Been there before. Later... if you see a "do not disturb" on the doorknob, I'll just catch up with you all later LOL Really looking forward to this after the first half of the year!!!! You guys are great and thank you for being the good men you are!

 

[The Grim Repper]

OK, the deep pain where the hams meet glutes is now insane. LOL
I know she's hobbling around still. I'll have to check later just cause I'm sadistic. haha...
