Happy Memorial Day. NCAA Div 1 Lacrosse Championship is on ESPN @ 1pm today.
Legs and Shoulders today.
Front Squat: 250*9
Walking Lunges: 65*22
Bent Press: 70*12
Side Lateral Raise: 30*8
Donkey Calf Raise: 450*25
Dragon Flags: 22
Gym was on Holiday hours today. I was surprised that it wasn't as crowded as I had expected (pleasantly surprised). Good workout today. Really worked up a sweat. Hadn't done bent press in like a year, so it really murdered the delts and gave me a sick sick pump. I'm gonna be sore tomorrow.
Yo Sinner have you done Barbell lunges (in like a squat cage)? How do you like them (if you have) compared to the walking lunges?
Also who you like today? Orange or JH? The Hopkins Duke game was sick as hell.
Oh and I know your busy, but how about a Science term of the week?
Good Morning. It's Friday!!!

on a serious note, howmany warmup sets you doing for example
your deads 335x9 so u warmed up wtih 135-225-315?
and chins bw x warmup then +25 or straight to +60 just curious
GREAT WORK BUDDY LIGHT WEIGHT BABY
TGIF:woohoo:
I usually do 2 warmup sets. Weights are somewhat trivial.
Roll-out's
You remember the those "ab wheel" and "ab roller" things from the late 90's/early 2000's? You use one of those. Instead kneeling, your only point of contact with the floor is the tip of your toes and the wheel-thingy. They are quite difficult.
Walk-out's
Same as roll-out's, except you literally "walk" out with your hands, instead of holding the wheel-thingy. They're a lot easier because you have some nice static-friction against the floor so you can use your shoulders to help keep you from falling flat on your face.
Are you planning on using 3-AD again anytime soon ? I think I'm going to break down and buy 3-AD/aPCT and run it.
You're an animal. Just not a ferocious one, like a squirrel or a spider monkey.![]()
I had actually planned out a nice big cycle to run, but put it on hold to test 3-AD. So I'm not gonna do another 3-AD for my next cycle. Maybe the cycle after next, I'm kinda curious to see what 6 weeks would do to me.
i dissagree, squirrels can be quite ferocious. i was bit by one as a kid. man those guys have sharp teeth! had to get rabies shots following just to be safe. i despise squirls!
When you do upright rows, how far apart do you space your hands ? shoulders, or further apart ?

You still drink that stuff? It's been a while since I've bought any.
I honestly don't remember how much is in it. It doesn't say anywhere on the label. I think they have to put that info on it nowadays, but it'll be like a "Where's Waldo" adventure to find it.
Good morning everyone.
Bought a new pair of rollerblades on Saturday, so I'm sure you can guess what I did for exercise this weekend.I'm really stoked because I haven't gotten a new set of wheels since like '98. Apparently ABEC 5 is what comes standard, and I don't care what people say, there's definitely a noticeable difference between ABEC 1 and ABEC 5.
Anyhow, to this morning's workout: Legs and Shoulders:
Superset: Snatches / Upright Row: 155*3 / 115*12
Split Squats: 155*12 (each leg)
Hamstring Curls: 65*5
Rear Delt Raise: 25*15 (note to self: use higher weight next time)
One-footed Standing Calf Raise: 120*15 (each foot)
Roll-outs/Walk-outs: 7 / 12
Workout was ok today. A little disappointed with my performance on my snatches, but whatever. Had to add split squats into the mix because I haven't done them in a while, and think they're a totally awesome exercise.
Lastly, the science term of the week.
Static Friction - I figured since I was talking about ABEC bearings earlier, this would be a good subject to hit up. There's essentially two kinds of friction: static and dynamic. ( Static friction is the force opposing the effort on a surface which does not slide or skid, and offers a stronger force than dynamic friction. A good example is anti-lock brakes, which the brake pad pulses on the wheels, so that the wheels do not skid . This allows your wheels to maintain static friction with the ground.
Anyhow, the argument against higher ABEC rated bearings is that the bearing is still in contact with the axle, thus friction will slow you down. The issue with this is that the naysayers negate static and dynamic friction. In this case we can look at the difference between the friction in the bearing verus the friction in the axle. Then you'll see that the bearing friction <<< axle friction. Because the friction on the axle is so much larger, we can assume it to be static, in which case no (or very little) net work is being done on the axle; therefore, energy loss is occuring at the bearings. By reducing the friction at the bearings, energy loss is decreased, allowing for a longer distance to be travelled per stride.
Oh, and ABEC is an acronym for Annular Bearing Engineering Committee. It is just a rating system for bearings, and has no real special meaning.
