thebrick's - What are you Training Today?

[xmen1234]

Good chest, shoulders, tri's session. Had a good looking gal ask me to spot her while she did box squats, felt lucky, cause she walked past 4 meatheads to come ask me. Don't tell the old lady.

On my way to work out at one gym, which was way too fucking busy anyway, got a call from another gym and found out I was hired as their new training manager.

Went and trained at that gym and had an amazing workout. Damn good day.

COngrats Triple! Good luck with the new position.

Tore. Shit. Up. Yeah, I beasted the shit out my training today. I had that badass attitude thing going on and some kids loaded up the leg press with 10 plates on each side and even though I wasn't using it, I was angry as hell because some chicks wanted to use it. I unloaded it for them and was quite vocal in my descriptions of the kids...they heard me across the gym and walked into another room.

Anyway, I feel awesome. Hope y'all had a great day.

Good for you Atom! I hate that shit too. Lazy, inconsiderate, mofo's!!!!

Got back on the schedule for today. Love hitting back hard. Yeah baby!

Well good to hear everyones on game yesterday even brick and his tanning job. I feel a little more gruf attitude from Atom.lol..so somethings working ..I had a decent chest day but really had a sore right shoulder front delt issue on incline straight bar bench.. any good advice on how to help this besides doing dumbbell inclines I'd appreciate. Kinda bummed my workout out.but I powered thru and did other movements with no prob..its my tax day so I'm kinda on a forced day off but will see how bad uncle Sam pisses me off for late iron time..have good one guys..x tripple and Chris glad to hear you guys kicken ass btw. Turbo show love bro ? Lol. I know..I'll chat u when back.

 

[thebrick]

Hey Iron, the tax man has already pissed me off, big time. Maybe that helps a little?

Shoulder problems can be stubborn and common as hell. Is is a muscle or tendon issue? Maybe try staying away from those inclines might be good for a few weeks?

What type of training do you do? That is, more like strength/powerlifting or more like body building?

If it's strength/powerlifting, you already know you're fucked.

If it's bodybuilding, you can use a supinated grip and 45° angle between the humerus and spine on incline presses and relieve a lot of stress on the shoulder/front delt while still hammering the chest pretty well. I've used it myself and with clients pretty successfully.

It will probably mean a reduction in weight, but you can still train as you heal up, so it's way better than nothing.

 

[Ironbuilt]

Glad to hear from you guys .brick and tripple. Yeah no power lifting.just darn good go for broke bb type to keep me 48yrs young..will avoid straight bar for a while and use some band inner outer rotators work to possibly assist too. Thanks. Had a gooood shoulder / trap day. Burn pump and jacked all at once.. Will check back in to scope.Atom X Chris Enigmatic sometimes and maybe my bro Turbo will show me some brotherly love like you guys..tomorrow Legs ..gonna be good..peace .ib

Just some cardio today.

 

[AtomAnt]

I was off yesterday. Spent my evening in the books...bleh.

I got me some legs tonight and I'm not gonna lie, I feel a little beat up. I think it is mainly poor sleep and stress. Time to man up and get real with this shit. Back down? Fuck that, when the money's on the table, I'm going all in and leaving a trail of blood, sweat and chalk in my wake.

It's days like this when i feel like shit and it seems my back is up against the wall that I dig down deeper and pull out some motivation that I never thought I had.

Be good brothers.

 

[Enigmatic707]

Been feeling burnt out over the past week... I think I am going to take a week off

Just could not get into it today and just didn't have it in me to push through it.

Time for a little break and then back at it with new batteries. It will be worth it.

Yeah, for me its the deciding if I am just mental stress or its also physical. If its mental, if I can get focused, I can get a good session in and feel much better after.

 

[tripletotal]

Oh yeah...leg day for me, too. Gonna get in there while it's still early and uncrowded, do squats, walking lunges, leg machines, and all that, then have somebody carry me out. Not going to leave anything in the tank. I'm feeling unstoppable lately, so might as well take advantage.

Brick, we need to get together and slap each other around to get in the zone! LET"S GO!!!!

I got my focus. Cranked up some tunes on the way home from work and now I got that fire. :headbang:

 

[AtomAnt]

I am cooked. Went up on my leg presses and seriously killed every set and then wrecked the widowmaker. I fished things off with the 6 rep pyramid on RDLs. I thought I was going to pass out when I got that last rep. I think I ruptured some blood vessels in my eyes. They are all bloodshot and shit.

I have an early day tomorrow. I see y'all around

Nice work! Love it when the blood vessels burst. Really seems to worry normal people, which is always fun.

 

[Ironbuilt]

OK OK I see we had some people doubting mental capacity.. enigma you sound like u need a break..so do it. Iron never dissolves in a gym so it will be fine..Atom .. bout time you dropped the eeyore hymhaw attitude and went in and conquered. Sounds like it was leg day Wednesday cause I too blasted them late .I mean midnight..came out wired and ate and slept like a rock.Turbo? U stuck in a ditch bro? No I know whats shaken. Keep it real everyone.never say no. Ib

 

[thebrick]
