Chest and biceps for 99 minutes this morning. Went heavy on all chest incline work and light on biceps. By the end, I couldn’t even do 3 reps with 2 plates on the incline chest machine. I tried keeping my heart rate between 110-120 the whole time so my rest between sets were very short. Can’t remember the last time I went in like that. Had a protein shake and a banana when I got home. 2.5hrs later ate a piece of the breakfast casserole I froze after we made it last month. 2hrs later had oatmeal, 2hrs after that ate a huge plate of leftover pasta from last night and I’m still hungry lol.

I finally feel like I've been really consistent with working out. I've been going now for almost a month 4-6 days a week of solid lifting. I've now added cardio back into the swing riding our Peloton again. I've been doing a 10 mile ride every day now. Today was leg day. I was feeling real good in the squat rack setting out 315 today until my right knee started acting up. I wanted to up the weight a bit more but didn't want to push an already issue knee.

Cold ass gym session. Torpedo heater never got the garage warm enough to stop seeing my breath.

I stubbed my toe pretty bad last week and it’s all swollen up still, can’t get my gym shoes on so I worked out in socks. Foot prints were freezing on the ground

 

[Aircal]

Went to work out with my son. Charter has this unlock door app. Rushing because its blowing cold. Door opens I step sideways, catch my foot on the frozen folded in half door mat. Slammed hard to the ground. Took like 3 guys to get me up because I was disoriented and couldn't get my leg under me.
Feels fine thankfully.

I’m not sure I could do just the bar. ?

New personal best 225 on deadlift. My son would not let me go a second time or go higher...lol
Worried about me hurting myself. I'm sure will be a while before I get back up that high again.

 

[Spivitz]

Banging out back n biceps.
We walked early

Been raining down here

 

[Shawn1112]

Back and 25 min of cardio this morning.

So there is this dude at the gym I met about 2 months ago. He is one of those guys who "I was benching 575 for 20 sets with 10 of them pause reps when I was 40, I can curl 120lb dumbells" he is 54 iirc. All he does is talk about how he did this and how he did that, 100% full of shit. The weight numbers he throws out there are just not common denominations if that makes sense for you guys that work out. He claims he is married, has kids, and grandkids but I think the MFer might have some sugar in his tank (gay). He comes up to me this morning and says when I met you 2 months ago, you were flabby but I could tell you were strong AF, now your tightening up and getting thick in a good way. I told him, I only worked out maybe a half dozen times over 4 months and now that I'm back to a regular routine maybe I'm starting to show results. This MFer must have told me practically the same shit 5-6 more times within a hour SMFH.

 

[Spivitz]

Banged out chest, shoulders and walked this morning.

[Rent Free]

I will hang myself if i have to hike up a tower tomorrow.

Pray for me elevator works.

 

[Aircal]

Anyone else start taking cooler or even cold showers after working out for a few days?

 

[Rent Free]

I always eat then shower after gym at home then go to bed. I usually work out late 8pmish. Usually warm. Cant do hot or cold. I do make an effort to eat bananas and alot of water day after. I usually go every other day. Ive been back on a pretty good 4 routine rotation since I got back from Germany mid Sept.

Got A.B.C.D. routines I could break down sometime on here.

Im only 175#s but goal is for shorts to NOT fit by summer and get back to 315 bench.

My jeans already look like doucher skinny jeans since I never used to really do legs just run. Now its cardio and solid leg days.

I really do need some new jeans..... "range of motion" is tightening up if you get what I mean......

 

[sickmint79]

i hate cold showers but they are certainly more tolerable after sweating my ass off

 

[Shawn1112]

I got it in this morning, went crazy on reps, minimal rest between reps. Never let my heartbeat dip below 100 between sets.
Incline bench dumbbells all sets of 10, a total of 150 reps
3-sets each of 100lb, 90lb, and 80lb
2-sets each of 70lb, 60lb, and 50lb

Followed that up with 4 sets of 10, 30lb dumbbell flies, and finished up with 3 sets of 10 at 160lbs on the pec deck machine.
25 min of cardio before I left, 2 min jog at 6mph, 2 min walk at 3mph on a 2% incline for 5 sets, then a 5 min cool down at 3mph at 0% incline

 

[Caleb515]

Just banged out a push workout at lunch.

Incline Dumbbell Press
Arnold Press
Chest Fly Machine
Cable Lat raises
EZ Bar Reverse Curls
Rope Pushdown

Currently working to create a schedule to try and be more consistent with my lifts.
I'm still doing PPL, usually 5 days a week, but have been and currently just walk in and hit whatever I feel like / whatever is open for the day which isn't optimal.

[OffshoreDrilling]

Leg day.

Picked up some new knee sleeves last week, man, can’t believe how worn out my old ones must have been after wearing these for 4-5 workouts now. Knees feel great doing everything

 

[Aircal]

Starting to enjoy the gym on Sunday mornings. People seem more chill. Lots of shoulder work on pullys today.

 

[Caleb515]

"Bicep focused" pull day

Seated Preacher Curls
Wide Grip Cable Rows
Incline Dumbbell Curl
Hammer Curls
High Machine Row
Straight Bar Cable Curl

Getting frustrated AF not going to lie.
On a cut and it's a constant battle between eating enough to build muscle, but still staying in a deficit to lean out. It's super tough to do both at the same time.

It’s winter, put on some mass. Shirts on and skin is like white bread rn.
