thebrick's - What are you Training Today?

[thebrick]

..sometimes it feels real good to put bodybuilding on the back burner and live it up

I like to call that having life balance

I am resting today too. The wife and I are getting out to run errands. Trying not to feel too guilty about skipping the leg workout today. Maybe a couple days away from the weights is a good thing… maybe

Just some cardio today. I don't understand how some can love running. But then again, They don't understand why we need to pick shit up, just to put it back down.

I'm going to go enjoy a beer with some buds, so you all have a great night. :food-smiley-004:

It seems like a good workout for me, I don't think my trapz is big enough.
Really counting on Dante now :headbang:

Forearms, Biceps, Back.

My back has been feeling real good so I'm thinking floor deads today, hmmm. I have a few hours to think about it. I let you know how it goes. :muscles:

Let the aniticipation build then kill that shit! I love that feeling when you KNOW you are ready to smash some iron and get into that minset that no matter what you touch, you are going to tear it apart.

I did some comparison before and afters from this past blast. I think I am going to start a new thread with the progress pics later tonight.

I'm just dicking around over the next couple of days while I cruise. I'll keep up on the cardio but might try some other stuff like rock climbing or some flag football just to stay busy.

2 days out of the gym was a world of good for me. Had a great chest workout in spite of a bum shoulder. Full speed ahead baby.

Well, I guess I'm right at the age where my mind still thinks I'm in my twenties, but my body is saying, "hey tough guy, you're middle aged".

Conventional Floor Deads:
405 for 5 and my back said, "easy there old man". My body was talking a lot today. lol!
Dropped the weight to 315 and grinded out 3 more sets (12,8,4).

Wide grip pull downs 175 (12,8,6) / 140 (12,8,6)

Biceps Just some concentration curls for warm ups.
Decided to go for a RP set. Life Fitness Preachers 80 lbs. (15,8,4)

No Forearms today because they were fried from the Deads and pull downs.

All in all a good outing. Now I'm going to shower and dip myself in a vat of Tiger Balm.

 

[thebrick]

Sounds like a good one to me xmen! Those deads will work ya hard!

Trust me on this one...I am a firm believer in traditional Chinese medicine and this stuff helps reduce inflammation and improves blood flow tremendously.

I've only ever tried Creem-ov-sum-yun-guy.

I had to drag my ass the gym today, only because my 4 year old granddaughter wanted to go to childcare. Did chest, and it ended up being a fantastic workout. Felt strong as hell. Funny how it works out sometimes.

 

[thebrick]

Chris, I hear ya on that. I have had that happen too and I am always smiling when it turns out that way.

Pretty pumped about hitting back later… but first, need to get some work done

Check in with ya later brothers!
