Tweakle: Would the bedroom mirror half nudes be ok for you then? Vids of step-ups today would have been gheigher, it's the lesser of the 2 evils.

HiD: lol, exactly.... but i'm all done, i've called it off, waved the white flag of submission. Tapped out on the cake.

Week 4 Day 5
12.1.2006 - Friday night (farmer's and shrugs then gym closed)
12.2.2006 - Saturday afternoon

Farmer's: 85's for 28 steps, 95's for 30 steps, 105's for 30 steps, 115's for 30 steps

Barbell Shrugs: 225x10, 315x8, 405x5, 455x5, 365x12, 315x10, 225x12
(energy was exhausted, couldn't go for 510 at all, probably take a week off from these and get my eating right)

Cardio: 10 minutes treadmill walk up to 3.8 speed, shin muscle cramped up... streched then...

Step-ups: BWx10, +50x10, +70x8, +90x5, +110x5
(grip was shot holding the 55's were tough... from last night)

GM Stretch: Barx10... felt good, hams still a tad tight

Leg Ext: 90x15, 110x10, 130x8

Leg Curl:90x12, 100x10

Cardio: 10 minutes treadmill up to 4.0... holy crap that's fast walking... too fast, didn't sustain that speed for more than a minute, probably 30-40 seconds or so..

CS: It was a semi-joke.

I had already taken crappy cell phone pics before he posted just for myself to see... not as bad as I thought, though I won't let my waist line get any bigger than it is... as long as my chest sticks out farther and I look good in a t-shirt, it's cool with me right now.

lol, my post was a complete joke.

Will lunges be making a comeback next week?

 

[SgtSlaughter]

Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

lol, gotcha.

Yes. My hams should be fully streched and recovered then. Ready for more abuse. Lunges suck.

No, wait. Let me back pedal. I suck at lunges.

A few weeks (or more) of doing them should start to remedy that.

Maybe doing them a couple times a week would help with that.

Sunday
12.3.2006

12 minutes of walking treadmill cardio up to 3.8

Decline abs with not an extreme decline like before... felt MUCH better, did BWx10 and +20x8 ... yay.

some hypers... bwx10, +25x10...

tried seated GM's with just a bar, ...felt good Barx10 or so

basically some light, random core work, then more cardio.

12 minutes of walking treadmill cardio up to 4.0 (maintain 3.6 on average I'd say)

I went hypoglycemic before the gym, that's not fun. Waited for the juice I pounded to kick in ... layed down, ect...

Feeling great now.

Sarge, not to sound like an ignorant ass, but how do u do farmer's in a gym setting? I've wanted to try that but don't have access to "strongman" equipment. I am assuming its with a barbell across your shoulders/back like squats? And then walking up and down an aisle or whatever?

Dumbbells.

But I like the idea of sarge wandering around the gym with a barbell on his back and clotheslining assclowns who're too busy checking themselves out in the mirror to watch where they're walking.
