thebrick's - What are you Training Today?

[thebrick]

Thanks guys. I guess sometimes I feel like I'm fighting a ghost and all this has been a learning curve for me. I feel good today, so fuck it :action-smiley-033:

I had a kick-ass chest session today. My training partner is back from his Louisiana fishing trip so we pushed each other to the wall. A good spot makes all the difference. Did I mention it heals my mind too? Gotta love it.

You guys tear it up!

Anybody talked to T?

 

[Phoe2006]

Nope ib and t I think have been dealing with life. Maybe grims heard from him

 

[The Grim Repper]

Left T. a voicemail today, heard from IB that T.'s under the weather but both are OK. IB's been slinging the pig iron around - we spoke tonight by phone.

 

[The Grim Repper]

Tonight was chest and calves. Put the hurt on them both.
DB Incline press 4x10-12 *add weight each set
DB Incline flyes 4x10-12 * as above
Hammer Bench Press 3x10-12 *
Pec Deck ++ Done FST style 7x10-12, 30 seconds stretching in between sets
Dips 3x12

Standing calf raises 10x10 with 10 bodyweight floor calf raises in between sets while partner completes their work set - I go you go style.
Reduce weight after 4 sets and each set following to ensure rep range is met.
Seated calf raises 3x20 - same weight 45 seconds rest.

Miller time.

Amazing pump from the FST pec deck sets - real deep ache.

Grim, I'm curious as to whether Miller Time is just a joke or if you really do have a beer PWO?

Ive been wondering this as well.lol

:food-smiley-004:

"Miller Time" is just me showing my age a bit. I don't drink any alcohol and I think I may have indicated in some posts that Miller Time* is a PWO shake.
Actually, studies have shown that one alcoholic beverage can inhibit protein synthesis up to 25% for 24 hours. So, instead of anabolism, the body's removing toxins. I work, eat and supplement too hard to ingest anything that will inhibit my progress.

I used to post in here- now I never do... I kinda feel like there is this morning coffee shop where a bunch of dudes meet up and I am the only one who doesn't go and I end up not getting jokes told later on because I am never around when the background story has been told.

Now that's I've cried about it.. I'm not lifting today, going to train some takedowns and no gi grappling this morning, then in the afternoon I have a boxing class I teach and some drills.

That's my training for the day

Atom, I'd love to try some giant sets like that for legs
I could do it if we still gad the Flamingo Golds here
The one I train at now would be impossible cause the leg equipment is all over the place

Are you running fortitude training?

 

[Sandpig]

Nah
Right now I'm doing Phil Hernon ' s routine
September I will be going back to volume

 

[chaotichealth]

My whole body. Just ran 7000 foot of pipe in 7 hours

 

[Phoe2006]

Back today, did lat pulldowns and close grip pulldowns before deadlifts kinda changed it up since someone was using the DL area. Dl's worked my way up to 495 steadily. Was a really good workout. Kinda nice shoulder did start acting up a little but not to bad. Shoulders tomorrow and I'll make sure to keep it lighter and higher reps

 

[Sandpig]

Bi's and legs yesterday

Strength is starting to slow down as I is to be expected.
two or three more weeks of this style and then I'm gonna go back to my old style of volume.

The way I look at it, I should be able to do what I used to do but with heavier weights than I've used before.

Hopefully that will trigger another growth spurt.

Got in and did some chest work today.. Body has been feeling really banged up with all the Boxing and Jiu Jitsu I've been doing lately.

Had a mediocre cheat workout and then couldn't do much more cause of an injury in my right arm. So I decided to do a bit of leg presses before I cut out.

I put a 4 plates on each side and it felt way lighter than it should of, so I decided to have an impromptu leg day and I then blasted out some super heavy good sets of leg press.

UWe have a pretty bad ass leg press at my gym-
