ryane87s ride to awesomeness

I still receive no notifications from my own log....haha

I forgot to post yesterday, but I did conventional deads for the first time in a long, long time

225x5, 275x5, 315x5, 345x5. Just something to break me in again. But I had to stop there because I heard some guys talking and my gym is being closed! Needless to say, that took the wind from my sails. I did 3 or 4 speed sets w/225, but I just wasn't feeling it for that day and called it quits
 
Amazing to me the weight you guys do and call it "lightweight" or a crappy workout! Awesome work man.
So is your gym really closing? That sucks balls.

Time to buy a powercage and barbells and a bench. You just replace 75% of the stuff you need at a gym with $500.

If I had the money and space that would be outstanding haha
 
I don't know if I would do as well at home. Going to the gym has become my "safe place". My refuge from work and my wife. Everybody knows that while I'm there, I'm not going to answer a phone call or a text.

Oh snap... Better gym than a strip club, LOL

What about a strip club IN a gym? Might be the new business model

Has to have booze too. I bet the main attraction would be where the girls squat. For a few bucks, spectators can do the spotting. :)
 
A place like that, I would never get any work done....haha
 
It sounds crazy, but that might work in the right kind of market. You couldn't put it just anywhere, but it could work somewhere

Maybe a Hardcore Gay Bar/Gym would be the only thing I could think of that would work. Probably get rich lol. Put it in New York or LA.

Hahahahaha. It would be the nastiest place ever. But if someone could figure out how to make it work, it would be amazing. Not the gay part lmao.
 
We could get lifted67 oil boy to run it for us...lmao
 
ryane87 do you remember there being a combination laundromat/bar when you were in Crown Point? I thought it was along 30, maybe actually Merrillville?
Either way, same idea. Two things that went together very well. Place was always busy (and I might have accidentally left my clothes I a washing machine a couple times)

Do you remember Pine Island apartments? I lived there off 30. I remember only a few things. The Meijer, the white castle on like 30 and broadway...a couple other spots. Around those?
 
No training today. I am a dip s and didn't hear my alarm. Luckily, I still made it to work on time haha
 
Leg training today. Changed up the schedule because I missed yesterday. Also, this will be the start of not doing squats for a month to let my hip heal up. I will be doing mobility work and a couple of squat related stretches.

Leg presses: 6 plates each side x12, +25s each side x12, 7 plates each side x12, +25s each side x10, and the last set 4 plates each side x22 3 second negative every rep. My legs hated me for a minute haha I did have a little soreness in my hip, but not like squatting

Barbell hack squat: 135x10, 155x10, 175x10, 185x9 arms inexplicably gave last set

Leg extension/standing calf raise machine superset: 135x12/ 3 plates each side x20, 150x12/ same except 18, 165x12 same except 15 reps

Got this done in about 40 minutes. Decent all things considered

Pretty good numbers for the Leg Press.
 
Alright gentlemen, today was chest and back superset day. If I ever miss a Monday, I normally just do legs Tuesday and double up on Wednesday with chest and back. Has been a LONG time since I have done this. After 3 days in a row of about 5-5:30 hours sleep, I was wore out this morning but I soldiered on. In 40 minutes at the gym this is what was accomplished:

Incline barbell press/behind-the-neck pull-ups with a 10 lb dumbbell at my ankles:

170x6/8+2, 175x4/6+2+2, 175x2/4+2+2+2, 155x7/4+2 I could tell during these it was going to be a LONG session even though I had little time

Reverse Grip Bench Press/90° barbell row:

175x4/175x5, 175x3/175x5, 155x7/175x5, 155x6/175x5 I was feeling done adter this but I finished with

low-pulley cable crossovers/straight arm lat pulldowns. 2 sets of supersets. I felt like I accomplished nothing besides being in the gym. I will tell you what, though, I was hungry ALL day...hahahl

Just read the workout.. where's the problem? Looks productive to me

Hes like me I think. Prefer to have over an hour in the gym per session.

I prefer 1.5, but you learn to burn it all up in a condensed time. For instance, with my job, after begging and pleading, we're now allowed 1.5 hours, but thats not to say I wont get 1,2 maybe three calls during my workout. So you do as much as you can. He did well for 45 minutes

I appreciate it, but I don't feel like I am getting the type of work done that I want to get done when I have to do something like that in such a short time. That should normally take like 1.5 hours and more sets, reps, and exerciy
 
Today's workout consisted of shoulders and tris supersetted again because I had about 40 minutes once more. Really wish I could spend more time

Dumbbell shoulder press/close grip bench press super set: 60x5/135x5, 60x5/155x5, 60x5/175x3, 60x6/175x3. Didn't expect much from close grip after chest yesterday

Side laterals/v-bar pressdowns: 25x8/110x12, 25x8/120x12, 25x10x130x10

Reverse Grip Front Raise/reversr grip pressdown: 20x10/90x10, same thing last 2 sets

Threw in some 1 armed movements for trid and a couple more sets of laterals and that was it

Not bad at all homie!! Hate when time is short
 
This only sleeping 5 or so hours will change next week. I didn't feel like getting up at all, let alone deadlifting. I made it in, though. I have had to go to work at 7 all week so I try to make it at 5 or so. This week it wasn't until 5:45 or so and today was after 6

I am so glad to be using this product. I was locked in doing the weight I was comfortable doing with a lack of sleep

Second deadlift session. Nothing special, just what I thought the body and brain could handle

225x3, 275x3, 315x3, 335x1, 345x1, 355x1

No grinders to be found, just didn't have the bodily energy to do more. Notes about deadlifting for me: like lifted67, I have a wonky lower back. I hurt it when I was 26. Chiro called it a sprain. I couldn't bend over without severe pain and had to walk very stiff. Took about 4 months to feel better. My lower back will still do the dreaded POP and when it does, I am layed up for months. I have to be very cognizant of my form. Slightest slip and I am fcked. I don't know how many more I am fckeds my back has LOL

So I am going no belt, both palms of my hands facing me with a hook grip. I <3 the hook grip! So that is my fun injury history...haha

Finished up with 3 sets of leg curls with 3 45lb plates loaded on the machine. Sets of 8 with only 30 seconds between sets
 
I was just telling someone else to grab an Ader belt, with someone with a jacked up back I can say it worked wonders.

Dead lift numbers look excellent BTW

What's an Ader Belt?
 
Those are some great workouts and the deadlift numbers are good for anyone, regardless of the back issues. As a teenager playing sports I used to hurt my back all the time. Because of that, I was afraid to deadlift heavy, always thought I'd screw up my back. It wasn't until I realized a strong back WAS the best protection and started going all out on deadlifts that I stopped getting hurt all the time. This may not really apply to you, but you're doing the right thing by deadlifting and getting stronger. It can really help protect your back in my opinion. As long as the risk is low enough to benefit from the reward, I guess.
