[Hypocrisy86]

tubalur cardio n abs mayne
sweeet!!

 

[Glex]

Ohhhh, they're cable preachers Still very nice

Nice cardio too.

 

[onebigeric]

Meh. Cable preachers are still preachers; plus, it's the deep burn...oh, it's so deep...

Cable work is excellent for its constant tension; always kicks my butt fairly well. Good call on those alternating presses as well, Chesti. Variety is always important for improvement.

Oh, and you're a jerk for hitting 500cals in 15min

 

[Chesticles]

Looks good bro. Are you cutting or bulking atm..?

Bulking dude, I'm at about 240lbs (109kg) now try to get to about 264lbs (120kg)

 

[Glex]

I like the drop set on the pulldowns

Awesome DB shrugs there, Chesti! Nice brutal ending to the day.

I didn't realize you were 240 lbs. You'll get to 260 in no time...just do what you and Line do

 

[Chesticles]

So.... having sex with your mum will help in gains?

Anyway, chest/cardio today. We got new machines in the gym today to, I nearly blew my load when I saw them, but my hardon quickly went down when I realised the chest press and row is pin loaded and only goes to 200lbs

Chest
Incline Dumbbell Press (lbs)
50's x 10
60's x 10
70's x 6
80's x 5 (last 2 w/ aid)

70's x 4

Seated Chest Press (lbs)
200 (Stack) x 15
200 (Stack) x 15
200 (Stack) x 12

The trainer in there tried to tell me the weights where in kgs, but there's no way that was a 440 lb chest press

Cardio
15 mins recumbant bike (Hill interval level 14)
10 mins eliptical (Level 10)

All done baby,good session today, until monday boys, have a good easter, I know I will

 

[CJU]

lol what a dumbass trainer.

looks like that heavy set w/ the 80s really took it out of you. it was a good idea to follow that up with the seated chest press which is a less taxing movement.

 

[onebigeric]

I'm sorry that the machines ended up having training wheels on them, Chesti. Just pick one up, drop it on that trainer, and ask him if it feels like kilograms

 

[Natureboypkr]

Nice quick session, sometime that the best way to go

KEEP WORKING, KEEP GROWING

 

[Project Evo]

Colossal DB Shrugs back there Chesty and props for the drops on the Pulldowns. Sort your form out matey and give it some real shit next time!!

n00b trainer alert!!!

Great work on the chest and cardio too, short and to the point, excellent.

Have a good Easter yourself mate.

 

[Chesticles]

CJ - I thought so to, hence the reason I did it

Eric - Definite possibility

Nature - Thanks man, I'll try to.

Evo - Thanks for the comments man, and you have no idea how much of a noob trainer the douche is.

Ok legs today, There'll be some noob comments at the end to. Aimed for high reps on this session.

Legs
Incline Leg Press (lbs)
220 x 30
330 x 20
440 x 15
550 x 15 (Hard, just got it)
550 x 10
220 x 25 DROP 110 x 30

I couldn't get up after that, had to wait a couple of minutes for the burn to stop.

Seated Leg Curl (lbs)
100 x 20
140 x 15
180 x 12
200 (Stack) x 10
200 (Stack) x 10
120 x 25

Yeah buddy, this is one of the new machines we got, I dig it. On a side note, on the negative is it supposed to come all the way to the top so your legs are straightened or just 3/4?

Standing Calf Raises (lbs, pin loaded)
230 (Stack) x 15
230 (Stack) x 15
230 (Stack) x 12
230 (Stack) x 12
230 (Stack) x 12
230 (Stack) x 12 (Just)

That could be heavier.

Ok wrapped up in about 55 mins. Time for the noobs

Since we've got the new machines, there's so many people doing stuff wrong and also people doing piss ant weights. The douche trainer tells like every single person who comes in about the new equipment to. Also I think a 12 year old could get the stack on the seated chest press for 10 easily, yet 40 or so year olds will only do half the stack, you can't even tell which part of the movement is the negative

This pisses Nutty off to, there's a big dude who goes in there, no real definiton but big upper body (Can't comment on the legs because I've never seen them, probably tampon strings) and ALL he does is arms, that's it. I see him in there probably 3 or 4 times a week and it's arms every single fucking time, total douche. He stood there talking to some chick the whole time I was doing leg presses

Ok last one is this chick comes into the weight room, and loads a 20 kg plate on each side on the bench. She looked like she could maybe lift weight, so I thought "Hmm, I might watch this." The douche trainer comes over and says to her, "Oh you won't be able to lift that, try 5kgs a side." For some reason she listens to him, and she says straight away that it's to light so he puts like another 2.5kgs on a side. She was only doing like half reps, and he says it was fine and walks off She was decent looking so when she was done I walked up to her and explained that she should be going all the way down instead of doing the half reps, she thanked me and I added, 'I personally think you could of done the 20kgs a side for reps anyway." She giggled and I walked off.

Well tha's it, until tomorrow, Chesticles signing off.

 

[Glex]

On a side note, on the negative is it supposed to come all the way to the top so your legs are straightened or just 3/4?

I usually bring the stack all the way to the top but still keep the tension on...i.e. almost make the plates touch each other.

She giggled and I walked off.

Hit that! Then maybe you won't have to focus on my mom

Insanely high reps, by the way

 

[Chesticles]

Thanks Glex, I didn't know how to move the machine because it was only letting me go 3/4

And I was planting a seed. Then it grows into a plant. Then you fuck the plant.

I think that's my favorite line from that movie.

No dude the best line is, "It's ok if you fuck guys. I have friends who fuck guys..... in jail."

 

[Natureboypkr]

keep it up
