Glex: I've Got Runners Trot

[Chesticles]

Dude, you could do more then 95 lbs

 

[onebigeric]

Hercules Hold....pretty innovative stuff Glex. Let others look at you strangely; just keep doing what your body responds well to. Keep it up

 

[Glex]

Chesti: Well, it's the stacks of 190 on each arm, but given the mechanical advantage it's really 95 pounds, right? I've never really figured out what to write for the cables; I always put the actual weight if it's a single pulley, and half the weight if it's a double. Then again, that's only true when the weight is moving, when it's stationary I guess it would be 190...hmm...::gets out engineering paper and starts drawing free-body diagrams::

Eric: Thanks for stopping in I'm all for letting people look at me weird, just ask Line I'm not sure what my body is going to respond to best for grip work, but it's something I'm trying to improve.

 

[FOOTBALL FAN]

how you finding the fascia stretching??

 

[Glex]

FF: I've actually gotten away from it a bit; last workout was the first time I've done it in a while. I think it does help a little, though, so I'll try to do it more often.

12-19-07

Cardio:
5 minute warmup on bicycle (waiting for elliptical)
40 minutes on elliptical, HR 125-135

Aftermath:
I debated lifting legs today, but after yesterday's hard run and sprints this morning at PT it just wasn't worth. Went for some low-impact ellipticizing, and it worked out ok. Tomorrow is hopefully legs, back, and bis with Line

 

[Chesticles]

That long on an eliptical is tough Glexxy, I've done it before and I was just a pile of sweat after it. Good shit

 

[Glex]

Chesti: It was more boring than anything The 20 minutes you just did was much harder than my 40. I was doing it to help my legs recover while still getting some cardio in.

It worked perfectly, by the by. Legs feel great so hopefully Line and I will hit up the gym tonight

 

[FOOTBALL FAN]

45minutes of cardio is good, even though you didnt do legs it was still a good session

 

[fallen]

damn I just went though your log and it is damn impressive I love the day of super sets. and your cardio is great also now that i am getting a little more time to look at these i will keep an eye on your no doubt

 

[Clint]

that shit can be boring, you should just go watch yourself do cardio in the mirror again


I'm waiting for a session Emerson

did you buy melatonin yet pansy ass?

 

[Glex]

FF: Thanks, and don't worry, hit up some legs today

Fallen: Thanks a lot! I'll try not to disappoint

Tweak: It was actually pretty nice; the elliptical was in the loft of the natatorium here, so I got to watch some swimming. As soon as I walked in the building it made me want to go swimming...I'm definitely going to grab my stuff when I go back for spring break and get some swimming in. No melatonin yet...maybe tomorrow before my PT session Thursday.

Worked out with Line today, here's the skinny:

Abs

Aftermath:
We'll see how the high-rep squats treats me tomorrow I'm happy with the BB rows; I haven't done that much weight in a while and Line said my form looked good on the first set, and second set wasn't bad though I lost my angle a bit. I almost did some cardio but it was just too late and the skin on my inner thighs was bothering me so I just came home and did abs. Tomorrow's a day off unless my legs are good enough for some cardio. Until next time, everyone

 

[Clint]

damn your squats, those are pretty great

leg curls too are quite the sexified

good work hitting those calves making Joe look bad as always

straps on pullups again?? you didn't even have any weight added you cant hold yourself for 8 reps, I dont see how thats possible, that confuses me so much. You must have the grip of an infant

straps on pullups really blow my mind to be honest, I just cant get it through my head

wait...Joe is explaining it to me now.......

in the meantime those rows are great along with those hammer curls too, skin on thighs was funny eh? Joe give you something didn't he rat bastard

Joe explained it to me, very thin bar, no more confusion...no thanks to you

2 points for Joe

 

[Chesticles]

Nice squats, and hammers big man. I to don't see why you need straps, I have the grip of an elderly woman with arthritis and even I can do chins without straps. Can't you target your forearms with hammers to, any difference in motion when doing bi's?

I'm betting tomorrows a day off!

Have fun, and say "hi" to Tweak's mom for me.

 

[FOOTBALL FAN]

went all out on the squats youll have trouble walking tommorow lol good session

 

[Glex]

Tweak: Actually it was a thicker bar. But then you wouldn't know a lot about that Thanks for the comment on calves; it's my specialty...that's what I get for being a fat kid my whole life. Squats were good; I didn't feel the intensity of soreness that heavy squats can give, but I think they were sore for longer. By the way, I got melatonin...not sure if I like it yet, I had some strange dreams...

Chesty: LOL. I can do some pullups without straps If the bar is thin enough I can usually get out 4-5 sets of 8-10. I am working on the grip. As far as the hammers go, yeah, you can target your forearms more, but from what Tim says I want to be focusing on actual grip work and timed holds. I should probably get me a gripper of some sort, or a bag of sand, or a rock...that would probably be more manly...

Tim: Yeah, it was a day off I could have run, but I had PT the next morning so I decided to be lazy.

FF: It was pretty rough to get the last couple of reps on the last two sets. Like I said to Tweak the intensity of soreness wasn't so bad, but it seems to have lasted longer.

As always, thanks for stopping in, everyone!

Aftermath:
I was thinking of doing cardio and abs after, but I was starving, so I made a delicious chicken pot pie instead Oh well, it was PT day anyway, so at least I got a little cardio and abs in there. I'm pretty happy about the 100 for 9 (almost had 10, Line intervened when I still may have had it, but I don't blame him at all), and also very happy with the 110 x 5 on the DB press. Another couple of weeks and maybe I'll be putting up a set of 8 on them

 

[Natureboypkr]

those military presses are looking pretty strong, get those boulder shoulder bro

 

[tim290280]

Nice work. If you're hitting a DB bench PB I can imagine the military presses being hard to keep progress in.

 

[onebigeric]

Any workout with three PB's doesn't need any sissy cardio

Excellent work Glex. Progress like that is hard to come by every now and again, let alone with any degree of consistency. Keep up the plateau smashing

 

[Chesticles]

A Rock is definately manly

Big DB presses man, awesome shoulder strength Your strongest bodypart I'd say?
