Glex: I've Got Runners Trot

[Rageking]

HOLY SHIT!!!!

wow thats some hard ass work, your one intense mofo
all that after heavy deads....
the renegade rows do you do like a pushup? like go down and lift db over your head? or whats that one called?

 

[Glex]

^^ The underlined ones are hyperlinks, go watch I even thought about mentioning that they were hyperlinks, my bad.

Ok, today I played 36 holes of frisbee golf and won 8 bucks (my friends are compulsive gamblers, just unfortunately for small stakes). Then I ate a little and went for a 43 minute run. My legs are toast; I'll have to see about doing legs on the morrow, might not be a good idea.

 

[Turkish1530]

Aftermath:
I was going to do some cardio...I was planning on swimming but then it started thunderstorming here, so I just acted all domesticated and cleaned the apartment. I still might go swimming, and my legs feel pretty good so I might also do a light legs day.

 

[Bulkboy]

wow awesome benching right there glex, and then u followed that up with some heavy incline db presses, overall a very nice session

 

[Glex]

Thank ya BB

Alright, I didn't take my log book in 'cause I didn't feel like it

I did shoulders and forearms. 75 lbs x 6 on DB shoulder press...not bad, I guess. Then I hopped on a bike for 25 minutes; I was going to go longer, but I was the last one in the gym and I felt bad so I left

 

[Rageking]

lol screw that you make em wait on ur ass while u hit the cardio

 

[Rocky]

Fucking great sessions in here. Damn nice benching.
Deads were superb.
Military was spectacular and as for your crazy ass hyper sets that must have felt great...albeit totally exhausting but great too!

 

[Bulkboy]

wow 75 for 6 is awesome glex, u keep plugging it out boy

 

[Glex]

Ragekage: Yeah, I thought about it...but I know how I would've felt if I were working there and there was only one asshole still spinning away on the bike.

Rocky: Thank you for your kind words, sir

BB: I will try

[Rageking]

and you said major cardio on weekend, i wanna see it

 

[Rocky]

You'll finish your room mate off next time. Nice session. That tri superset looked a killer - must have had balloon sized tris after that.

 

[Glex]

Miami: Runner's rage...sounds like something I should have

Ragekage: I did? Um...check back, I'll have to come up with something special for you.

Rocky: My tris were feeling quite bloated, thanks

Alright, it's been a little crazy here with the first two days of school, but I'm trying to get around to everyone's logs (including my own!).

Yesterday I did some legs and forearms, only standout was:

Squats
295 x 1
No belt and it felt pretty good.

I also maxed out the calf raise machine for reps, but that's to be expected

Then after legs I did a hard 25 minute run.

8-26-07

Running: 47 minutes
My legs were tired so it was tough to keep going. About 5 hours later I hit up shoulders:

DB Shoulder Press
50 lbs x 12
70 lbs x 8
80 lbs x 5
65 lbs x 8

35 lbs x 10

100 lbs x 15

Farmers' Walks
100 pound plates x ~50 yards
100 x ~ 50 yards
100 x ~ 100 yards

Abs

Aftermath:
An OK little session. Shoulders are feeling used, so that's good. I think my grip's getting a little better; I just keep trying to punish my hands because what makes me lose my grip is the pain right around my calluses. I just need to build them up a little more.

 

[Chesticles]

I have the same grip problem man, sucks a fat one I know. Nice squat, have you hit 300+ yet? How's the cut comin?

 

[philosopher]

Farmers walk is a great exercise to improve grip strength. Good shoulder session Glex

 

[Rocky]

I hate my grip too. Grip sucks!

Great workout though. Squat is good especially with no belt.

 

[Glex]

Chesti: Yeah, I've done 335 for one on squats. I feel like it should be so much higher Cut is coming ok...I've had a few setbacks and I'm around 200 right now. Although, I think part of that is the scale I'm using here at school is (probably) much more accurate than what I've been using over the summer so I don't think I jumped quite 5 pounds. I'm actually making an Excel spreadsheet of my pre and post workout weights to see what it looks like; I think the chart will be interesting after about a month.

Philo: That's what I'm hoping with the farmer's walks Thanks!

HorrorPictureShow: Watch out. If we whine too much Tim will come and smack us and show us that guy who bends I-beams with his thumb and forefinger

Alright, for my first session of the day:

Fascia stretching for biceps

And then immediately into:
Running: 20 minutes total
5 minute warmup
1.5 mile run: 9:48
5 minute cooldown

Aftermath:
I was really pretty happy with everything today. Pullups went very well, and my biceps are pretty worn out. And the run was really good considering I was on a shitty track, had to dodge a bunch of Asians (who apparently weave just as much while running as when they're driving ), I stopped to pick up a raquetball ball that came over the railing onto the track, I just lifted, and I haven't taken a break from running in a few days.

Next time I do a 1.5 miler I'm gonna smash 9:36

Now, I went and did back and biceps for a few reasons...part of it is because Line lifted legs/back/bis yesterday and we're supposed to do chest/tris later today, and that would put us right on track with each other. The other part is you never know if Line is actually going to show up at the beginning of the semester to lift so I wanted to do something in case he called off

Unfortunately, if he does come up to lift, I'm gonna be tired now

 

[miamiracing]

huge session again

tell me more about that fascia stretching thing! do you have any website or something where i can get some infos about that?

miami

 

[Rageking]
