thebrick's - What are you Training Today?

[AtomAnt]

Sorry guys, been MIA... was out and about all weekend and felt a little under the weather today (think it was bad shrimp).

I'll provide a little humor before getting into the training for today... so my girl landed a new job and was all excited and happy, so I wanted tomake this weekend extra special lol She wasn't able to make it down to my house until Saturday morning, so I took some cialis on Friday and as soon as she get to my house, it was on haha... Needless to say, we had a great weekend Even went to a cool museum, a haunted house, carved some pumpkins did some bar hopping and I made us a nice romantic dinner

So this morning, i woke up, stomach was feeling a little iffy. But I train on an empty stomach, so I was able to hit the weights without an issue.

Superset of seated calves and seated leg curls 5 sets of each 10-12 reps
Russian Knee Curl upped the weight 5 lbs and hit my 15-20rep range
BB Squats - went up 5 lbs on each set. 300 lbs 10 reps, 315 8 reps and two sets of 335 for 6 reps
Leg Press Widowmaker into a drop set
Leg Extension drop set

Freaking killed it! But after training, when I ate some food, I was feeling the wrath of some bad food. I was in the bathroom all day...obviously I could not go into work in that scenario.

The shoulder is psycho. Hurt like hell yesterday... pain and stiffness. Hit chest anyway and pushed through. Today, its much better, like a different shoulder. WTF? Looking forward to back after lunch. I may let the weight drop to the floor on my deads, just to make some noise.
Atom, careful with those shrimp dinners. Grim, good sleep makes all the difference. T, good to hear you feel better. That muscle memory time is almost here.

 

[The Grim Repper]

Make some noise brick! BOOM BABY BOOM!
Yeah, Atom, feel better brother, that sucks, you'll be ok, just stay hydrated and dose up on any vitamins and minerals you may be losing during this battle!
turbo's kicking its ass, as is IB (maniac) and yes, sleep is amazing. My delts are banged up over the years and I've trained myself to back sleep cuz side sleeping killed my rotators as did front sleeping. When I started training and was smaller, it didn't affect me as much, but now the neck and arm angles make front sleeping impossible and side sleeping gives me tight forearm and delt pain, so, had to do it! I'm sure you gorillas can relate.
Anyway, last night I scaled back total sets, increased rest slightly and dropped reps for heavier weights. Also dumped smaller movements (flyes, etc.) that don't give me a return as far as strength/recovery goes. I should add each and every set had emphasis on negatives every repetition. Last rep of each set eccentric portion was at least 3 seconds. Sometimes followed with a pause on that rep.
Incline DB press 4x6-8
Flat BB press 3x6-8 (paused reps on reps 6-8 1 second at chest)
Dips 3x6-8 (worked out to 13 on last set, so we're adding more weight next time)
DB pullovers 2 x 15-20
Barbell curls 4x6-8
Alternate db curls 3x6-8
Hammer curls 3x6-8
Reverse EZ bar curls 3x6-8
45 Degree Calf Raises(Icarian sled) 3x8-12
Miller Time.
:-D

Thanks for the concern guys...I definitely think it was the shrimp. I felt good this morning and got my ass in to kill some chest, shoulders and tris.

Smith Incline BB Bench (15-20rp) 13+5+3
Incline Fly WM 21 reps -> these feel good getting a deep stretch at the bottom
DB Shoulder Press (20-30RP) went up 5lbs 14+6+3
Side Lateral WM 20reps
Triceps Dips (20-30RP) -> decided to increase the rep range because with these it feels better with greater TUT 14+7+3
Overhead Triceps Extension WM 22 reps

Long day for me today... lot to get done..catch y'all later

I was tired as shit this morning and took a few extra minutes to get my shit together before rolling out. I've been getting some sick back pumps lately, almost to the point where I have to stop training... because of I kept my mind open going into today's session knowing I may have to swap out some exercises or use different rep schemes. So I got into some forearms, bis and back...

Pinwheel curls (20-30rp) up 5 lbs 13+6+3
Incline Bench DB Curls (15-20rp) 11+5+3
Behind the Neck Pulldowns (15-20rp) 11+5+3
Rack Deads - I started feeling my lower back getting tight as I was warming up... 1x12, 1x8 and 2x6
Freemotion 1 arm pulldown widowmaker 20reps
freemotion 1 arm row widowmaker 22reps
Slider Curl widowmaker 21 reps

I decided to stop using any of ICL's stuff being that he was discontinued as a sponsor and has been unresponsive to Anasci. I'm rolling with the IV gear train now...
