thebrick's - What are you Training Today?

[AtomAnt]

How's everyone doing?

I couldn't get on last night because I was finishing up some school stuff...ended up being up most of the night. Anyway, got it done, but this morning was rough! It was my squat day and I just had this looming feeling over my head as I rolled out of bed. The session went like this:

Superset of seated leg curls (5 sets) and seated calf raises (5 sets)
Squats 1x12, 1x10, 1x8, 2x6 - I was freaking dead. I really pushed my sets
Lying leg Curl Rest-pause drop set
Leg Press 1x10 then one widowmaker and then did a drop set on it after the widowmaker

Busy day today and I have school later...not fun

Hit some chest this afternoon. Felt good to push some iron and start to get my groove back. Iron is the best mental therapy there is. Planning on back tomorrow.

Push it to the wall brothers!

Seeing Brick post make me smile... That is commitment.

IB, I'm digging the gun routine! Sounds tasty. My favorite all time arm workout is one of John Meadows's pump routines...holy hell. I never used to warm up with elbow flexion exercises but that is awesome for getting blood in there and getting loose.

As for me, today was chest, shoulders and tris... this was the workout that kicked my ass the last time I did it. Today proved true, I need to change some exercises.

Smith Low Incline Bench (15-20rp) 10+4+2 and then three drops doing 2 sets at each drop
Incline Fly WM
Db Shoulder Press (20-30rp) 13+7+5 same as LT total and I am really struggling on these. Still did two drop sets
DB lateral raise WM
Rear Delt Fly WM - Yes, two WMs
Triceps Dips (20-30rp) 12+6+4 these guys f'ed me up...time to swap them out
O/H tricep Ext WM

Keep on killing it fellas!

Nice leg session. I have a trainer partner that is on point. Must be about 24-25.
This one reminds me of the old days . Made a difference . faster loading on heavy stuff and a spot for the aforementioned heavy stuff.
Still slowly easing in but I see things really rocking by mid winter.
Hey Brick I put a cool Casy viator shot in the news letter 12 coming.
Think you and maybe Jello were the other guys that liked that CV look.
I know Grim is getting some repairs and I had mine little while back .
So with you getting better we will all be starting 14 out nicely.
Need anything holler . We will all hear ya . Promise. T

Incline dumbbell flys every set to failure..
Free motion fitness flys 3 sets incline 3 sets decline
Finished off with pec deck and 30 minutes of cardio. Off to work

Looks like I'm stuck in the office today brothers. Planning on shoulders and traps tomorrow though. Already looking forward to that.
T... always liked Casey's look... takes me back old school. Looking forward to that!

 

[Ironbuilt]

Taken a few days off so my lab tests coming up will be spot on perfect before another die hard gym session on Saturday..
Glad to see the Brickster and Jim are with me today.

 

[The Grim Repper]

Getting some labs done as well - on Sat., so just a little chest today, short and sweet. I'm thinking that 36 hours in between shouldn't affect levels.
Legs was night before last, hams and quads in that order. Sorry haven't posted a lot lately, haven't been killing it much lately, but still sorting out delt issues - getting MRI soon to see what the next move is.

 

[turbobusa]

Heading out for arms in a min. Been on the run and busy...
Have great day all . T

 

[thebrick]

Planning on shoulders later... first one in a few weeks.
Grim, hope that shoulder issue is a minor one

Let's do this.

We are always with you brother! Having a nice needed rest day today and will get back to the iron tomorrow

 

[AtomAnt]

Hope the delt pans out grim... messed up shoulders are no fun.

Work has been hell for me lately. Getting really stressed out with shit...

Yesterday was back and bis, which went well, aside from not being able to do my bent smith rows. Did low cable rows instead and got a good squeeze. I do enjoy mixing things up for each bodypart once in while so it isn't all that bad.

Today was legs

Lying leg curls 4x12 superset with freemotion calf press 4x12
Leg press 1x12, 1x10, 1x8 2x6 and one WM - I crushed it on these
DC style Stiff leg Deads using the pyramid scheme - hams were toasted

That is it. Short and sweet and super intense.

 

[BIG D]

leg day!

 

[thebrick]

Just back in form shoulders and traps. You have no idea how good this feels to me. Best therapy EVER. Gets me out of head for an hour and I need it.
Guns tomorrow!
