Glex: I've Got Runners Trot

[Pain]

Your running is intense. I'd pass out trying to keep up with you. Good work on those dips. Did you do any warm up before those? I'd be scared to tear a muscle doing that sort of weighted dips for so many reps.

 

[Rocky]

Fantastic sessions Glex. Good job on those heavy maxes on bench.
Dips look good too - looks like you're trying to compete with me on those too! Grrr.
Strength is coming on real nice. Again with all the cardio you do too - your energy levels are great.

 

[Glex]

Hypo: Thanks I hope to get more reps in two weeks or so...

Mak: I can do overhead extensions with the 100s, so maybe we'll have to have a tri-off

Pain: Yeah, I did two sets of 15 cable rope extensions at 40 pounds or something to warm up a bit, plus the warmups on dips itself. It doesn't seem to bother me...and after seeing future do dips with 3000 lbs I'm not too worried about tearing anything

Rocky: My bench has decreased, though

 

[Daniel Andersson]

Awesome session once again Glex

Dan: I ran when I was 225 How much do you weigh?

Right now im ~245lbs

 

[Daniel Andersson]

Good videoclips also btw

 

[Lionheart]

Those dips
Good sessions bro.Congrats for the PBs!

 

[ironheart]

some solid session you've been having lately glex. awsome job on the dips. keep it up mate

 

[Glex]

Dan: You can run And thanks

Lionheart: Thanks, they're going well

Ironheart: Things do seem to be going well lately, thanks for noticing

Next time I do dips, I'm gonna bring teh camera ...if I can find it; it's not mine, and it's gone MIA I think Sara might have it.

Long day today:

25 March 2008

Swimming:
Swam for about a half hour. I didn't count laps, but it was probably around 1000 yards again. Maybe a little over.

Then immediately after, I went over to the gym:

Deadlifts
135 lbs x 10
225 lbs x 8
315 lbs x 4
315 lbs x 4
315 lbs x 4
I think 315 is the most I've pulled strapless, and it wasn't all that bad on the grip It was hard doing these after legs yesterday.

DB Shoulder Presses
60 lbs x 10
60 lbs x 10
60 lbs x 10
60 lbs x 10
My shoulders were worn out from swimming. Oh, and my left shoulder is still a little sore from what I did benching. It'll be fine, though

Pullups
BW x 8
BW x 8
BW x 8
BW x 8

BB Rows
135 lbs x 10
185 lbs x 10
185 lbs x 10...drop 95 lbs x 20
I know I just swam and deadlifted and pulluped, but I need to bring these up

Superset
DB Side Laterals...............DB Rear Laterals
20 lbs x 15.........................20 lbs x 15
20 lbs x 15.........................20 lbs x 15
20 lbs x 15.........................20 lbs x 15

Abs

Farmer's Walk Fun Time!
I used a hammer strength machine for abs, so when I was returning the 100 lb plates I used, I decided to do some farmer's walks. I did 10 shrugs, then walked across the width of the gym and back (like 50 metersish total?), then did 10 more shrugs, and set 'em down. I did three of the 50 meter walks, but only did the shrugs on the last two.

Aftermath:
I'm surprised the deadlifts went ok. I was beat after swimming.

Rest tomorrow I may go run, but it's doubtful. My legs would have to feel 100%, and I just don't see that happening. And I have a test tomorrow, so I wouldn't be able to run until after dinner. Shame...the weather is supposed to be very nice tomorrow.

 

[Pain]

Good job on the swimming then weights, its tough doing that. After swimming my upperbody and legs are usually worn out to do anything else. What swimming technique did you use?

 

[Glex]

What swimming technique did you use?

Yes

I was on swim team in high school, so I know all of the strokes. My worst is backstroke...I look like some kind of whale trying to beach itself. I used to have a fairly decent butterfly and breaststroke, though. I mix it up, and also usually do some kickboard stuff, too, but the majority is always freestyle.

 

[Pain]

I was encouraged to join a swimming team back when I was 12. Never really wanted to, I just swam because it was fun. Breaststroke is my favorite way to swim, I basically just do this all time when I swim.

 

[h0ke]

Very strong session even if u swam . Deads looks great, and that barbel row isn't light either.

 

[Hypocrisy86]

Hey Glex, just wanted to let you know before i honor your awesome workout session
i haven't been swimming for over a year+
*hides*

anywaays
lots of reps n sets there, and those deads strapless with that weight
must've had a killler feeling !!

 

[MaKaVeLi]

Overheads with 100s is pretty strong bro, you inspired me to go heavy again and worked my way up to the 115s! Have to admit I can't explain how I can go so heavy with those - I don't think I could match your dips - they're pretty impressive dude!

Great work with the deads, your grip is fairly strong. How you were able to swim for 30 mins and then pull off a good looking session deserves credit, repped!

 

[Glex]

Pain: Pain likes to stroke breast

h0ke: I think it's light for me :angrydude:

Hypo: It was nice to know I could hit that weight strapless with little difficulty.

Mak: 115s you say...

I had to wake up at 4:30 this morning for ROTC It was a swimming workout, which really wasn't that hard. I went and had breakfast with some friends, and after that I figured I was awake so I might as well hit the gym:

Flat BB Press

185 lbs x 10

Aftermath:

I may do another session today. Not sure yet.

 

[Pain]

How much sleep did you get? Waking up at 4:30 am to workout has to suck. Earliest I've got up to workout was 6:30am.

Those DB curls at the end of your workout must've gave your arms a crazy pump.

 

[Glex]

Three hours at most, Pain The DB curls weren't bad, I should've gone one heavier.

"Well it's one louder, isn't it?"

I did end up going back to the gym today.

[Rocky]

Nice sessions. Strong tri moves. Weird how your bench seems to be lagging by comparison.
Not that I can talk - my tris and shoulders are stronger than my chest by comparison.
Still impresive lifting given all the cardio you are doing.

 

[miamiracing]

sup nerd,

heavy overhead db. extentions.. looking nice and heavy

 

[Daniel Andersson]

Much good work done mate
Shoulder problems suck. Hope it feel better soon
