The fattening up for winter training log

[FFQuads]

Cybex, leg extensions, and fat chicks??? What the fuck bro? Sounds like a homofest for sure! HEEHEHEHE.......J/K

 

[Tweakle]

dont dis the cybex

I honestly dont want to be a homo but injury and exasperation at a lack of spotters mean I gotta do what I gotta do.

Decline smith

515 x 3, 545 x 1, 425 x 10, 445 x 5 (slow backdown)

hammer shoulder press, 3 and a half plates/side x 3, then 3 plates/side for a hard rep set.. too much pressing for me in one workout. Did some rep work then

pushdowns for high reps for the elbows.

only half a workout sadly didnt get in the back work as the gym closed early.. fuckers

 

[ChinkNasty]

keep pushin brother, whats hurtin u these days?

 

[Tweakle]

what isnt?

Squats, box, 14" - ass hurt on these, I think I'm dropping the leg press and going back to safety squat for my 2nd leg workout.. leg press just puts too much bad pressure on my medial glute and piriformis.

worked up to 545, was supposed to take 585 for a ride but my spotter didnt turn up so I pussied out. I dislike training in a gym full of little people

10" box, 405 x 1, 495 x 1 (10" PR), was going to try 525 but my ass was REALLY hurting after the 5 plates.. I mean agony, pulsing so badly I couldn't rack the bar for 10 seconds after making the lift (taking a step forward I would have fallen over. I need a monolift!)

one leg leg press, light light light for rep work 3 plates/side 2 x 20

standing abs 100 x 15, 120 x 5(hard as shit with the extra weight)

one leg plate loaded ham curls, 2 plates side 2 x 5 (heavy explosive hams)

hobbled home grumbling to myself

made a tough decision , no more leg work for the next 4 weeks (maybe longer) to see if I can take care of the inflammation and adhesions in the muscle. Theres so much damage back there that I'm getting worried about the long term consequences of pushing it anymore. Legs are about 29" and a half, so even if I lose an inch they'll still be bigger than Brad Pitts

Smith declines, MUCH harder angle than last time. This was the minimal setting on the decline bench so it was a lot tougher than the shorter range presses last week.

405 x 5, 425 x 5, 455 x 4+1, dropped the bench to 10 degrees, 455 x 5, 475 x 4+1

Hammer iso behind the neck shoulder press 3 plates/side x 6,6,6

Triceps pushdowns, 3 sets of higher reps.

Workout killed me, it wasnt that much more volume than I usually do but enough to take it out of me.

Next session is upper back and abs/calfs

Hopefully the little bit of rest can clear up the pain for good......a month off of leg work is good sometimes, a lot of guys schedule 1 month a year of no squatting.

Make sure the plates on the Hammer Strength btn press are secure, one may fall off and land on your bag and crush the pink razer cell.

He keeps his pink razer in his fanny pack, which doesn't ever come off - not even for porking.

Clear your PM out. I've been trying to send you a message. Good luck with the time off from leg work. It helps me alot to take a few weeks off.

spellwin spam was blocking my box.. its all scrubbed down and freshly trimmed now

 

[Tweakle]

real manly freeweights for this old cripple tonight

prone rows on the bench, deadstop

275x5
275x5
295x5
315x5
325x4 1/2

these went and got really hard on me.. should be back to form next week I hope.

parallel wide pullups, bw 8 x 3, dead stop and hand and squeeze, 90 secs between sets.. I'll add 10lbs a week to these and see if I can get all the reps

trap bar shrugs, superstrict (knees locked) 500 x 2 x 20

I'm thinking higher reps are a good idea for 2 reasons, first the shrug is a short range motion so the actual time the muscle is loaded is minimal with lower reps, and I want to keep the reps as strict as possible. Like to get to 3 x 20 x 600+ on this.
