11/16 first half. I learned today I can’t do 4 days straight in gym.
leg press 3 x 8 @ 225, 314, 405; front squat up to 155 (still suck at these)
machine w/free weights rows 3 x 10 @ 180, 270,360;good mornings 3 sets 8 up to 155
close grip barbell curls 3 x 8 @ 50, 70, 80; lying dumbbell tricep extensions 3 x 8 @ 35
Crippler, God helps those who help themselves. The guys I’ve written about all lived. Had one client whose cardio guy misdiagnosed his chest pains during graded treadmill stress test and the subsequent computer stress test, cardio guy termed results of tests “unequivocal”, and guy died at home from first heart attack at 58 thinking Tums was the answer. Our expert cardio guy thought strenuously otherwise, and we got lot of $ for his widow. Still think with family history, a graded stress test, even one where patient is hooked up to computer while on treadmill, would be a good idea.
bodyweight chins (couldn’t find strap for weights) 10, 10, 5
squats 1 x 8 @ 135, 1 x 5 @ 225, 1 x 8 @ 315, 1 x 20 @ 225
bench 1 x 6 @ 135, 1 x 3 @ 225, 1 x 2 @ 225 (shoulder felt funny so stopped)
machine flyes 3 x 8 w/about 140s (these done standing w/cables slightly above shoulders.)
bodyweight dips 3 x 8
shoulder machine presses 3 x 8 @ 90, 180, 200
SGHP 1 x 8 @ 135, 1 x 3 @ 155 (forgot my straps)
preacher bench curls 3 x 8 @ something fairly heavy maybe 120 (machine here)
tricep pushdowns 3 x 8, same as above
Ok workout. Down to about 237. Losing weight hardly affected strength, really increased energy. I’m balls to the walls in office now. Still dead at 8 pm though.
65+ and still doing 20 rep squats with 225. You are an animal sir. It would be cool if you and Crippler got to workout together. Fun to meet the online person in the flesh. I met Paul (oldgoat) at a meet last year and he really is that great of a guy in real life.
11/24 no particular method today, first workout in ages w/o bench, squat, deads
various grip pullups 8,8,8
leg press 4 x 8 @ 225, 315, 405, 1 x 10 @ 495, 1 x 8 @ 405
SGHP 1 x 8 @ 135, 1 x 6 @ 155, 1 x 5 @ 165, 1 x 8 @ 175
machine rows w/free weight 3 x 10 @ 180, 270, 360, 1 x 10 @ 430
tricep French presses w/bent curl bar 3 x 8 @ 90
machine preacher curls 3 x 8 @ some heavy weight, still can’t tell on that machine.
Good workout. Felt good after 2 days off and filling meals yesterday. Used wide grip for first set of chins, more taxing than my regular close grip. 236 today, about 6 more to go.
