Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

first day of volu-grow today....lets see how it works!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Not any more, Bao, I am sure it is higher at my advanced age. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Chest and tris today. Still can't really do incline due to it hurting my right shoulder. Perhaps I should see a doctor about that. :hm

Had a decent chest day for me, though. Hit 135 for 7 on my first post-warmup set. Then hit it for 5. Then for 5 ... but I tried for 6 and on 6 I failed. :r I became *that* guy. Had to move the bar to my stomach, sit up, and stand up with the bar before putting it back on the rack. :r Blasted my tris after that (well ... after trying some inclines and deciding that was a bad idea).

I feel like I'm finally getting form down and if my damn upper back and shoulder weren't so effed up, I'd actually start seeing some real gains on bench. Pretty sure I could do 185 for 1 if I had a spotter; but I don't want to do it without a spotter for fear of crushing myself.

Good lifting to all today. Tomorrow is a "rest" day ... so just cardio for me.

Nothing wrong with being "That Guy" because you're trying to get stronger and pushing limits but would it be a bad thing to just ask someone to spot?

With that being said I don't really do much on free weights if I'm alone. I'm afraid to be "That Guy" :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Frankly, I don't really trust anyone to spot me. The times I have had a spotter at this gym, they've done it wrong and ruined the lifts. Zemekone is the only spotter I've fully trusted and who *helped* rather than hurt my lifts.

If there was someone at my gym I felt I could trust, I'd ask them. Until that point, I'll risk being the guy squished by weights. :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Ah...easy fix then...just put Gerry in your pocket when you go to the gym and bring him out when needed. :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I don't think I want him in my pocket. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I's sure he would be thrilled though :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3

Please let us know!

Hit me up when your on the east coast for a spot Proff

Good workout. Hope that shoulder starts gettin stronger

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

tweeked my lower back yesterday AM...

looks like im out for a weekish... :fl

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

dang that sucks. I'm going to the gym in a few hours. Probably just focus on upper body.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Rest and recover. Dont rush it. If it feels good try to stretch, especially hamstrings and hip flexors.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Sorry to hear bro..

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Sorry, Brother, I feel your pain.

Day off for me (Yay!)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

:zewell im gonna go lift

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

did some hip flexors and sat in the tub for about 45 min... back loosened up nicely...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

glad to hear you are on the mend gerry. hope everything gets healed up. nothing like a minor injury that is just bad enough to put ya down for a few weeks.

off night for me, might take another day off this week. been going for new maxes this week. been pretty fun.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I've started light lifting with my dumbells again.

I would like to be in shape before it warms up again

(and round is not an acceptable shape)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Legs are finally feeling 100% from last week ... just in time for leg day tomorrow. :ze

Awesome. Bring da pain. :D
