thebrick's - What are you Training Today?

[thebrick]

Hit some back today. First workout since the kidney infection. Feeling stronger so I thought I would test the water. Went well, but I am easing into it. Hyper-extensions, t-bars, hammer rows and pull downs. Nice to move again. Going to try to keep it going this weekend.

 

[AtomAnt]

Awesome to hear Brick! Keep getting healthier by the day enjoying every day and rep for all that it has to offer

Completely slept past my alarm this morning... But wasn't going to compromise my training so I just came into work late and pushed my day back.

My tendinitis is getting really bad in my left elbow. For a few weeks it was just slightly painful but now it is getting hard to do any curls. I used my tennis elbow support and was at least able to move some weight but had to go with a little higher rep range

Superset of bis and tris
Straight BB Curls 5 sets then a RP set 12, 8, 8, 8, 12 then RP drop set doing 3 RPs at each drop
Smith Close Grip bench 5 sets then a RP drop set 12, 8, 8, 8, 8 then three drops doing 3 RPs at each drop

Shoulder superset
Seated strict side laterals 5 sets of 12 with partials on the last two sets and a RP set to finish
Front Bb Raises 5 sets of 12

Superset
Machine side laterals 6 sets did 5 sets of 12 then finished with a RP drop set
Nautilus plate loaded shoulder press 5 sets of 10

Great intense session. I feel like my body is responding well to this training

What kind of supps do you take for your tendentious?

Good morning!! Getting ready for arms . going to be a supersetted workout as the gym will have the saturday morning crew in benching and such.
I've been alternating between superstted bi/tri w/o's and staright tris first followed by bi's . Can not come up with a quality training partner to save my life
Don't any of the youngsters care about getting big and strong anymore?
Well I guess I'll run up on one some day. I once had this austrailian girl for a training partner.She was baaaad! use to bid her lttle tiites down and
pass for a dude so she could box with the men. Tough little chick.
Wish she had'nt got deported. Oh yeah i'm rambling.
Everyone have great day .... T

Great leg workout yesterday and today is chest.

 

[AtomAnt]

What kind of supps do you take for your tendentious?

Aleve, I add extra curcumin, ice at night and rub kwan loong oil on it... Not really sure what else I can do... What would you suggest?

 

[thebrick]

Atom, hate to hear about the tendonitis. That is some stubborn stuff to deal with and patience and time will be needed. I hate to say this, but sometimes when it just keeps progressing to worse, some rest may be required + everything you are doing now (ice, curcumin, etc.). At the least, think of movements that aggravate it the least and stay with those for a while. Tendons are slow to heal. They just don't get much blood in there to speed healing, but you already know that. You'll get past this.

Hit some shoulders and traps yesterday. I've lost a lot of strength the past few months, but it sure feels good to do something. May be back in the gym today before wife and I have afternoon plans + dinner later.

Make each day a good one.

 

[Phoe2006]

Well ended up going to pick up a bed, take my sister and my family out to eat, and met up with a friend. Needless to say didn't work out yesterday chest today. Brick don't worry about ur strength it'll come back when you're done with all this crap soon enough.

[AtomAnt]

OK, so I was thinking I was going to kill legs all day... after destroying them to the point I could not walk after a few exercises, I decided to do a chest and back superset and call it a day. I'm not saying it was not successful, I am just saying I fucking smoked my wheels and couldn't get anything more out of them... YEAAAHAWWWW mother fuckers!

Superset
Seated leg curls 5 sets of 12
Seated Calves with 10 sec pause on the bottom 5 sets 0f 8-10

V-squat every set to failure 15, 12, 8, 6, 6, 5, 5 then I did a drop set hitting 3 drops. I was ready to puke and had to catch my breath and sit down

Leg press (this is the fun shit!!!!!!!) started at 220lbs and did 10 reps increasing the weight by 20lbs and doing 10 reps... up 20lb, 10 reps.... with no rest until I coul not longer get a single rep........................ then I went all the way back down the stack. Probably about 160 - 190 reps alone right there.

I was shaking at this point and felt like I was going to die

I did lying leg curls... 5 sets of 10-12

Glute buster 3 sets of 15

Super set
Nautilus incline bench 5 sets of 12 last set was a DC style rest pause with a statics

Trained back today. It was the first real back workout since pre-surgery at the end of January. Rack deads, t-bars, pull downs. My old staples from years past. Nice little pump going and a smile on my face.
