thebrick's - What are you Training Today?

[thebrick]

I hear ya Atom. Nothing wrong with that!

I have been kinda doing the same by ramping up my good calories along with the good training I have been able to get done lately. I weighed yesterday and and I am up a solid 20+ pounds since my surgery back in January. I'm a little flabby around the middle, but all I am doing is a good dose of HRT. I'm just so damn happy to be feeling good and the training is going great these days, so I don't care if I have a few pounds of fat. I'm scared of GH and I don't think that's for me in my situation anymore. After the shitty start to the year, I am here to tell ALL my iron brothers…
There is a life after cancer and surgery and chemo and you CAN feel good again! AND you can tell cancer to FUCK OFF, I have a life to live today!

Killed back yesterday gonna hit some Tris and some light lat raises and shrugs after Tris. Gonna stay away from shoulder pressing movements for the near future

 

[Phoe2006]

Didn't end up working out been sick for the past week but went and watched let's be cops not as good as all the hype. Don't take your kids to it for goodness sake

 

[thebrick]

Hope you feel better real soon Phoe!

Sorry to hear that Phoe. Just what you need right? Working ball buster days at work now sick on top of it. Shit. Well get as much rest as possible bro, speeds up the healing process.

Should get a chance to hit arms and traps tonight. Sitting on the couch waiting for the rain to stop and sure dont look like im gonna get to work today. Hope everybody has a good one. Later brothers!

Brick, you are da man. What can I say?! SO awesome to read those posts from you, inspiring stuff man, for sure.
Phoe feel better bro, I know you're dealing with some extreme conditions to say the least, and you're still pushing the iron every chance you get, sometimes our bodies push back. Hang in there. Hope you're mended up ASAP. Oh, yeah,
no overhead pressing. Get that shoulder in order man.
Today is a rest day. Last night did legs Dorian Yates style - awesome.
Not so awesome - the night of leg cramps (VMO specifically) I suffered as a result. Took enough taurine, potassium and magnesium, but I still was banged up from fatigue. Oh well, I'm already sore as hell and ready to smash back again on Thursday. KILL IT guys!

Double post.

Fixing my coffee and then I will biker-trash it to the gym for some shoulders and traps. Gonna be a hot ride. Heat index of 103º

 

[thebrick]

Well, my workout got screwed. One email at work changed everything in 1 minute. I hate it when I am all pumped about a workout and about to walk out the door and then that happens. The gym better watch out tomorrow 'cause my pissed off factor has already hit me.

Brick, that is a bitch man.. We worked out later last night because my girl wanted to get some stuff organized in her classroom. We thought the gym would have cleared out by the time we got there, no, we were wrong lol

Last night was all muscle rounds (1 muscle round is 6 sets of 4-6 with 10sec rest)
Legs were all 3 muscle rounds and upper body was 2

Hack Squats
High and Wide leg press
Leg extension
Leg Press calf raises
Freemotion Cable chest press
Freemotion Wide lat pulldowns
Machine laterals
Low cable rows
BB Curls
Triceps rope extension

DONE

Made some rice pasta and turkey meatballs with tomato basil sauce. Was delicious!

Hit back today. Went for reps today on the rack deads vs. max weight. It was a good one. I know it was good because I started feeling about half sick towards the end. Didn't loose my cookies and finished the session strong. Cooled down and I was fine. Gotta love it.

No Internet for me yesterday
Slowly getting back into volume training today was back traps and rear delts
On a side note, I started cycling my carbs. Was getting to watery

 

[thebrick]

Got shoulders and traps down for today.

Curious... I think I have mentioned before that I really like training back. I'm looking for some ideas to expand my back workouts and if you guys have any favorite motions or routines, I'm all ears.

Yesterday I did:
rack deads
1 -arm dumbbell rows
t-bars
1-arm cable rows ( seems like I can get a better contraction in my back than with 2 arms)
close grip pull downs

Nothing today. Out on the water with no gym :-((

 

[Phoe2006]

Killed legs to the point where I could barely even do leg curls with 70lbs yesterday and today off I got the weekend off to come home and spend some much needed time with the family. Enjoy y'alls weekend brothers

 

[thebrick]

Hit shoulders and traps yesterday. Made em burn with lots of drop sets, even on my shrugs. Got arms down today.

Phoe, you deserve it brother. Enjoy, you have been working hard!
