DOMS -Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

I hope that starts feeling better for you soon bud.

 

[Mainevant]

When it comes to DOMS I always prevent them by hot/cold shower.
Sometimes I even do a cold bath.
It's great for your health overall and can help the healing process much quicker.

lol, dude. I never knew how strong she was! Crazy

 

[emekajokammor]

Whenever i'm in prep i like to research and find motivational things that keep my mind above matter. Well my wife got on me for not sharing, helped me see that sometimes other people are just one step away from quiting until something or someone comes along and motivates them. So i'll be sharing my personal motivation with you...


"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."

- Thomas Edison

Don't be the guy or gal thats always "going to compete" be the person who "competed in" regardless of placings, you have overcome hardwork everytime you step on stage.

Today's gym objective: Overcome Hardwork!

 

[emekajokammor]

Hey BG PM me. I might have a loggin opp for ya!

Thanks. I think the most over looked has been my wife. Leg pressed with the fella's yesterday and held her own worked up to 5plate on each side for 15 reps. :shock:

 

[emekajokammor]

Good day yesterday. Lots of volume on the quads and a mixture of heavy weight and volume on hams.

Decided to go with low carbs yesterday about 120g on leg day and it was rough. Might get up to 140 today and load up tomm. Planning on a 2 a day for tomm.

Today is shoulders. Tomm will be arms n abs in the AM and chest in the PM. Gotta get GEEKED!

Wt is 269.

Low Carb workout days can be very rough. Nice work pushing through it!

Hit a lil morning cardio today before work. Walked a mile.

Had a decent back workout yesterday. Feel like i'm cheating myself but the reduction in volume but the trade off for slower more controlled reps makes my muscles sooooo fatigued by the end of the workout.

Good work yesterday:
Pull ups 5 x 10
hyperext 6 x 15
Close grip pull down 4 x 12
superset with wide grip row 4 x 12
High machine row 3 x 12, 1 x 12/12 dropset
Super set with bent over row 3 x 12
Machine lat pulldown 3 x 25
Superset with standing lat pulldown 3 x 12
Assited pullups 7 x 12 stretch and squeeze reps

Side note:

Big Sam will be taking the stage tomm. So we're going as a team to his weight tonight @630 and i'll be working on his tan later tonight. Afterwards, i'll have to get my training done.

Big day yesterday!

I believe the best thing i have done for my lifting this year was rebuild my squats. Yesterday i squated 585 x 5 good reps and i felt like i could have done more.

My wife also hit a PR squating 235 x 5

Also, starting to tighten up.
