thebrick's - What are you Training Today?

[AtomAnt]

They do the donations where I work, and I'll probably start donating more often. I felt good today and had a slamming leg session. Nothing too special for claves and hammies, just doing the DC stuff. Instead of doing BB squat WMs, I do my heavy sets with BB squats then move to smith squats for my WM. I feel like I lose my breath and get dizzy as hell and have to cut my WM sort on BB squats. Plus, with smith squats, I can bring my feet in closer together to bring out my sweep. I did my special pyramid sets for squats then crushed my WM until I was shaking.

I'm finally eating good again! I even get hungry! It feels awesome.

Great workout today...avoided the shoulder issue by working off the stops to limit range of motion. Did the whole thing except the pullups on the Smith machine.

5x5:
Front racked reverse lunges (5/leg per set)
Seated BB press from pins
BB bench press from pins
BB rows
Bar dips (sets of 7-10 on these)
Neutral grip pullups-slow

I really don't grow well unless I'm stimulating every muscle group at least 2 times a week. Three times is better. So it's full body EOD until I put on 10 lean pounds.

Just have to save a little energy for those damned abs...

What's up some of my favorite gym rats!!?

Actually had a great shoulder workout today. Did some overhead presses. Not real heavy, just burned the hell out of them. Superset some flyes. Walked out feeling good. Old old man can still kick some iron around.

Atom, glad you have an appetite back!

Brick, quit it with that old man shit...we all know you can hang with the best.

Cardio and abs today...and it was a biatch! My legs are so, so, sooooo freakin' sore. I've been waddling around like a penguin all day. My quads won't lift up my legs and my glutes won't contract to push me forward lol. I know I busted my ass yesterday, but holy shit.

Anyway, I pushed through the cardio and looked like I was just jumped and pistol whipped I was so tired.

Fellas, I found the cream of the crop of seasoning salt. I was at whole foods picking up some steaks and the butcher pointed this stuff out to me. It is caller Borsari (Borsari Foods : Seasoned Salt and Spices for Gourmets Blend : Steak Seasonings Recipe : Grilled Chicken : Meat Rubs : Vegetable : Chutney : Fish : Pork). The original blend with the black label is the best thing you will ever use to season your steak or seafood. I now swear by it and put it on everything (staying within my sodium limits of course).

[AtomAnt]

IB, are you a meat pounder? I never pounded my beef, does it really tenderize it? I might have to give it a try.

 

[thebrick]

Its Friday! Gun city! Come home and its 1/4 cup blueberries and a whey shake. Done.

You guys got holiday plans? I have a barbecue craving for a big cheat meal..... hmmm

 

[tripletotal]

Full body destruction, as promised. So many calories to fuel to rebuild...

UFC tomorrow! Woohoo!

Hope everybody has some great plans for the weekend.

 

[AtomAnt]

Chest, shoulders and tris...destroyed. I've had to re-baseline since dropping weight but that doesn't change the intensity. I did those press-flys and then moved into a scoop fly exercise Dr. Scott came up with. These toorch the pec major...it just burns so bad when you WM them. Shoulder got a nasty pump and then I did bench dips for tris. I haven't done bench dips in a long time but these felt really good. I dropped regular parallel bar dips for these because after the press flyes and shoulder exercises these were too hard to progress on.

Gonna get some Maryland blue crabs this weekend and have some folks over my place and throw some meat on the grill.

 

[Ironbuilt]

Atom I bet your new sweatheart is gonna get some meat on her grill bro?
Today was back day and now that I got back off the low carb court be flat diet this machine feltpretty dam good..HIT for the back swole me up nice and my joints are really appreciating me..as long as I can super hypertrophy my body then I'm gonna stick with the 20 rep all of June or do u guys think its a dumb idea..say whatever cause u know I would. .smoke signals went well to Wisconsin this am so I did feel better after that..Stay safe if u are on highways traveling because I worry and I'm not just tossing sand .ib

 

[Ironbuilt]

[tripletotal]

Rest day today...another full body destruction day tomorrow. Gonna get crazy cause I got nothin else to do all day.

 

[turbobusa]

IB, are you a meat pounder? I never pounded my beef, does it really tenderize it? I might have to give it a try.

I am never lost that habit from age 9-10. Just got worse with time.
Yeah it can get pretty tenderized with enough beating... T

 

[turbobusa]

Sunday should be first day back to training. Have not decided on body part yet.
Do know I'm going to be using hit for chest for a while joints need a break.Hope by painful shoulders ease up soon.
Thanks, T

 

[Ironbuilt]

Zunday I did hour a cardio ., some traps till they burnt with fire and then taught 4 senior citizens all women to use a treadmill as they needed ib freestyle military type training. They were all into it cause who wouldn't be with a handsome free trainer like meself aye? Fun 20 minutes ..ib

 

[thebrick]

Hit legs hard today brothers. And on a holiday weekend too... Is that dedication or what?? If it makes you feel better, had some fried chicken yesterday. Damn that stuff is good. First I have had in forever too.

Turbo, hope that shoulder eases up. Keep the faith. Mine has been on good behavior the last 2 days. Go figure.

 

[Bfit247]

After work, After taking my grandpa to eat for memorial day! Then im going to work chest and some calves!!!

 

[turbobusa]

Did I forget to mention what a dumbass I can be? Had a good buddy I was helping move with my son yesterday. my son was doing the grunt work due to my hurt right shoulder. First up? A 10 foot (really ten foot) super thick material aquarium.This bitch had to weigh at least 450-500lbs . Well i'm watching them try to get it on the back of my truck when they start losing it . Jumped over to intervene as they were about to drop it. Dislocated my bad shoulder instantly.
Brothers this one hurt. Walked off to keep from hurling. hope no or minimal soft tissue damage. Right delt was a bit"bigger" than left within a couple hours.
Did not go to hospital. Where I live it would be a 4-6 hr wait just to be seen by some incompetent idiot telling me it must be a little pull or some other smarmy
shit that would possibly cause my arrest. So here I am 24 hrs later feeling hopeful(thanks IB). I'm gonna post a thread pertaining to this type of injury
later. Hope you guys are doing well. I'll get around it and be in the gym shortly. Keep up the good training . i'll hang tight with you guys to stay motivated. Thanks.... T
