At least I hope so...:r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

:r after hitting submit I thought of that.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I haven't learned chit.



;) :r :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

you and Gerry are in the non learning side. :) I was curious though to see a response from you on the bench thing. I do think that benching is more for show and chest pounding though ;)

BTW I am always learning but it is because of my many mistakes

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I am in a whole different lifting mode than the powerlifters. I concentrate more on the incline bench than flats, as the flats seem to bother my shoulders more. Not as interested in maximum strength for a single rep as I am in strength for higher reps, but I have the utmost respect for what powerlifters do.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I will have to keep an eye out for that, hurt shoulders suck when doing lifting. I guess I prefer efficiency with most things however that may be.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

For my goals, the incline movement is definitely more efficient. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

one more week of therapy and we will see :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Fingers crossed. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Grazie fratello, it is still very weak but that only leaves room for big gains :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Do you do decline also? Gotta work the lower pec too.:ze

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I don't like the decline position, Chris, so I do weighted dips and other movements that work my lower pecs.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Good day in the gym :ze ... until I got yelled at and was too mad to keep going. :fl

Box squats to below parallel: 185 x 3 x 10
Rack walk-outs: 315 x 1 x 3; 315 x 3 x 1, 315 x 5 x 1 (just feeling the weight)
Stiff legged deads: 225 x 8 x 3; 275 x 6 x 2
Leg press: 8p x 10; 10p x 7; 12p x 5 (this is when I got yelled at)
Box jumps (18"): 10, 7 (and this is when I realized I was too mad, unfocused, and would hurt myself)

I do my leg presses with a full range of motion. I bottom out to the safety, under control ... but I hit the safety stop, which lets me know it's time to go back up. Got yelled at for doing that today. "The equipment isn't made for that." Whatever ... it's a Hammer Strength leg press! It's made for a lot more than that!

Effin' gym. :fl :fl :fl

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

sorry to hear Dokk...I figured getting yelled at would have made you pump harder!

I've got a 13 mile training run today and i need to motivate myself enough to do it faster. I do not want to be on the treadmill all farkin evening. :(

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

It just made me mad ... and I think it's generally a bad idea to lift when you're actually mad because I lose focus and it's then easier to make a mistake.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Same here Tom, id rather do 100 dips than one decline press

The flat Bench bothers a lot of people. I think there are a few different reason for this, rather than the actual movement itself.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I *wish* I could do 100 dips. :r Hell ... I wish I could do one at body weight. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Dip Machine to the rescue!!! Dont feel bad Prof. After I took a long time off from working out I couldnt do a pull up or a dip.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Squat till your shorts get tight!
