BamBam55's offseason log

[bambam55]

I'm going into my senior year of college football so I decided I need to start logging again and getting all the advice I can get. I have bursitis in my knee from spring ball so I'm giving my legs some time off for that to heal. Well here we go.

This is yesterdays workout, Its a lot of machine work because we couldnt get into the football weight room.

Glad to see you started a log. Do you like machines? Personally, I never have all that much.

 

[bambam55]

No. Actually I'm a true believer in free weights and using as little machines as possible. The problem is we have two weight rooms here at school. Our football weight room which has all of the free weights needed besides heavier dumbells. The other weight room is the student weight room full of treadmills and machines of course.

 

[Rocky]

Nice to see a new log and you certainly hit the shoulders from all angles there!

 

[bambam55]

Thanks guys
Once again I coaches weren't in the office so we couldnt get into the football weight room and had to make due in the student weight room. I think they didnt put any heavy free weights in there cause they are scared some kid will hurt themself and try to sue or something.

Good job my friend. Nice selection of weights and exercises.

I don't mind using the smith at all - but I'm pretty much forced to as the equipment at my gym is fairly limited!

 

[bambam55]

Thanks Hypocrisy. I didnt use wraps on those shurgs till the last set when I felt like my grip was getting a little weak.

[philosopher]

Nice workouts, why do you always use smith machines. Imo you should do some regular benches as well.
