Gender: | Goofy Workout 4 so...today was the third day in a row im working out...kinda tough on me...my lower body was sore as hell today..and so was my upper body. but i wanted to do something whole-body-ish because im not sure ill be able to hit the gym till sunday or monday....so, i decided to do DE work...squats, military press and pull-ups. then some ab work. kinda simple. off topic: i roamed around downtown chicago on my own today....it was great fun. had a 12" sub sandwich for lunch DE Squats @ ~50% of 1RM - 145 lbs x 2 reps x 12 sets 145 lbs is probably a bit like 40% of my 1RM since i have no idea what my current 1RM is...but i have to say: it was hard as hell however, by set 10 speed was a lot better DE Military Press @ 50% of 1RM - 80 lbs x 3 reps x 8 sets damn easy...should've taken 55-60% Pull-ups - 3 reps x 3 sets this was hard....my back is so sore lol... Good Mornings - 45 lbs x 8 reps x 2 sets Ab Machine - 40 lbs x 10 reps x 2 sets i should've done something more complex but i wanted to try this new machine  |

Gender: | Widdoes: i like San Antonio food better, actually....kinda weird... Eric: yeah im glad the 10th set onwards it was a lot faster too.....and yes, for me as well: doing pull-ups after militaries makes it a LOT harder...and at the same time, doing militaries after pull-ups makes militaries easier in terms of comfort but difficult in terms of heavier weights you know? thats why i usually do these 2 on separate days Hopper: haahhaha...good one....but, im in new york now....would you like me to do anything special here? oh, and no, i don't like good mornings and they are NOT into the mix...i just did them to see if i could keep my back arched till what depth... |

Gender: | Goofy Workout 5 so i took yesterday off....im feeling good. muscle soreness has more or less gone....i flew to new york yesterday...im in south manhattan now i went to this gym called equinox today morning....got in a workout...Lunges - 35 lbs x 6 reps x 3 sets i hunted around for a power cage but i couldnt find any....so i took some dumbbells and decided to do some lunges because i wanted to do some lower body work before i moved on to upper body stuff... Romanian Deadlifts - 185 lbs x 6 reps x 3 sets i found this station where people were doing shrugs and stuff so i decided to do some RDLs....these were hard though....i don't think ive ever done 185 for multiple sets before... Squats - 255 lbs x 2 reps x 5 sets - 185 lbs x 6 reps you guys are probably wondering whats going on...why would i do squats AFTER everything? well....i completely overlooked this one area in the gym...and i presumed that this gym doesnt have power cages...well, after i finished doing lunges and rdl's, i walked around and guess what? right next to the million treadmills and other cardio-bunny-friendly equipment, i see 4 power cages lined up against the wall!!! so well, i decided to go in and do some squats...needless to say, these were hard. Pull-ups - 3 reps x 3 sets Seated Cable Rows - 100 lbs x 8 reps x 2 sets Smith Machine Incline Bench Press - 135 lbs x 20 reps x 2 sets i cant believe i did this...i was so lazy i didn't want to do any dumbbell presses and since this machine was already set up, i decided to jump in lol... |

Gender: | I think the reason the militaries are more comfortable is becasue the pullups are a good acivator of the scapular stabilizers. You are hitting the lower traps, for instance, etc...so your shoulder complex is ready...but of course you're fatigued. Strange place for squat racks. |
