Glex: I've Got Runners Trot

[onebigeric]

Excellent session, Glex

I feel your pain on those stinking biceps though. My arms are like Kong's, so filling in the appropriate mass has always been a challenge for me too. Let's beat the piss out of 'em, ya?

I've found sinlge arm preachers are a nice substitute for con curls, if those are rubbing you wrong. Spider curls are my personal reject lift in that group.

 

[Glex]

Turkish: I sent you a message; I won't be able to make it 'cause I'm going home this weekend. Best of luck to shutupnsquat though! And thanks for the legs compliment; they still need a lot of work, but I am doing opposing training it seems so I'm not terribly disappointed with either discipline (long distance running, weight lifting).

Rocky: It's always worked for me in the past, so I'm hoping to get a nice little boost for a month or two.

Rageking: Thanks My lats seem to have put on some size recently and/or I can see them better without all the fat

BigE: I was actually thinking of one arm preachers, hammer and/or regular. I'll give 'em a go next workout.

Alright guys, I've been baking cookies all day (and thus eating batter and being a general fatty all day). I was going to go to the gym, but they were closed (they close at all these weird hours). Then I was going to lift at the apartment complex, but I can't get into the building. Then I was going to go home and do some stuff then go on a run, but then Denny's called and wants me to come in to work early. So, as we speak, I'm doing a quick workout at home with Sara's stretchy bands. I'm going to throw in some pushups and ab work too, then get dressed and head out to work. With any luck I can wake up a little early tomorrow to get a run in. Later all :io:

 

[Clint]

look at those pullups, obviously getting uch easier by the week with the weight drop

squat is looking nice

concentration curls = teh gay

I like the way you curl

pretty good session

stop waking up late

 

[Glex]

Thanks Tweaky

I spent the weekend eating like crap (Sara's graduation party), and now I'm paying for it Oh well, back on the diet from ten minutes ago onward. I'll drop that weight off quickly enough, I suspect. I went running today, 27 minutes at a medium pace, and be looking for a chest/shoulders/triceps day tomorrow

 

[Chesticles]

If you don't like the concentration curls, trying doing them with an EZbar, it works pretty well. You need to get Line back into the weights

Dirty boy

 

[Bulkboy]

squats and pullups really stand out in ur last session, i hear u on the drop in bodyweight helping the pullups, shit they just kept getting stronger with me every week as i dieted down...

 

[fallen]

looks why don't you like con. curls cuz the weight?

 

[Glex]

Chesti: I'll get him back on the weights this fall

Bulkboy: I know, pullups are like the only exercise that gets better

Fallen: Hmm, not sure what you mean. I don't mind doing light weight on exercises like that, I just didn't like the motion and the contraction. I was having trouble getting the form right and it didn't feel like I was working my biceps as much as another exercise would.

Running: 35 minutes
Medium pacish. Started off slower but it picked up. If it had been warmer I probably would've gotten runner's trot It's all that crap I ate over the weekend. I'm gonna eat an apple and some granola then hit up teh weights.

 

[fallen]

yeah i wondering if it was the movement or the lack of weight is why you didn'y like them

 

[Glex]

^^ Yeah, the movement just didn't turn me on.

Alright, here's the skinny:

Fascia stretching for triceps

Abs

Aftermath:
I haven't done a lot of incline work, and as you can see they suffered. Not worried about the flats; I'm sure it's just because I wore out my chest on the inclines. I'm going to be doing more tricep work, too, because my triceps are about as inadequate as my biceps Dinner's ready, later all

 

[Turkish1530]

like u said i wouldn't worry about the flats, the incline will for sure put a hurting on your chest endurance

 

[Rocky]

tsk tsk allowing yourself to be distratced.

Nonetheless a lot of work there. Good stuff. Those incline will soon come up with doing them.

 

[Glex]

Turkish: I hope so

Rocky: Some dousche came over and started to spot me when I didn't want him to. I probably had another two in me, but it was just odd. It happened later with another kid when I was doing the flat DB presses with 60 pounders. I know I'm not jacked but I hope I don't look like I need that much help!

Running: 25 minutes total
Warmup: 3 minutes
1.5 Mile Run: 9:37...missed the ROTC max by 1 second
A few bleacher runs and regular running for another 12 minutes

I actually slowed up my sprint at the end because I thought I would make it under 9:36 and I felt like I was going to puke, but I missed it by a second. No biggie, though. If I had actually prepared for this (not run so hard the last few days) it would've easily been under 9:30. Going for a back and bis session now, possibly some legs too, but they're pretty sore from the running. Maybe I'll just throw in some leg press or something, we'll see how I'm running on time (have to be at work at 4).

 

[fallen]

So was the distraction a hot chick or guy if you like that sorta thing? lol My gym just got one of those hex bars i might give it a go do you find it any better?

 

[Glex]

^^ Nah, it was some guy who came over to spot me when I didn't need one. Also, the hex bar is a nice change-up; give it a shot.

Didn't have time to put this up immediately after my workout:

Aftermath:
I lost a lot of endurance on the deadlifts. I was pausing too much between reps, so I dropped the weight and just went for higher reps. I'll try another heavy day later.

 

[Bulkboy]

great back and bi session there glex, deads are strong, and those pullups must have really fried those lats dumbell rows are fucking strong, hope ur form is good on that movement

 

[Basebodyfitnesspaul]

Solid Back and Bi session there Glex

Base

 

[Rocky]

Good stuff. Despite the heaviest set of deads being not what you wanted you still did a whole lotta reps overall. And to do 50 pull-ups at the start! Fuck that!

 

[Glex]

Bulkboy: Thanks man. Form was a little sketchy on the 120s, so I backed off. Good on the 100s, though

Base: Thank ya

Rocky: Lol, the 50 pullups aren't bad. I'm only doing sets of 2-4, and it usually ends up being harder on my grip, which is what I was going for.

I went swimming for about 25 minutes. That counts for something, so I thought I'd post it. Gotta get to work soon, later.

 

[Clint]

I like the way you say jive

db rows are quite the rage these days

ah yes, the wide grip preachers, how'd you like them?

quite the lot right there, nicely done from top to side to bottom to corner,
