got called in to work, no cardio.
 
you stole my donkey calf routine... even the weight I use.

Only makes sense to go from SB's routine to Ubi's Calf lover routine.

You know what I've been doing for Hack Squats lately Beez? I've been doing them facing the pad.. kind of been doing this to sub for squats lately as I have screwed my back again with DL's. I don't know if you've tried this or not yet.. maybe you have.
 
I was thinking e-harmony, but .... whatever.

Hey, by the way, my sister is still available. She's 5'12, 146 pounds, works out at the gym like a maniac.

All kidding aside, this is a great log.

Keep up the great work, Beelze!!!

How does that feel on your back-Doesn't look like it would be very good for your back or neck- Just curious Ubi. I've never tried it but seen it done.
 
It's less of a stress on your back if you are conscious of it.. keeping it straight (well, not straight, but you know..) and holding your breath as always. It's actually kind of good if you concentrate on tucking your hips in and feeling how much you can manipulate isolating your quads in the movement. But funny that you ask about my neck.. it kind of hurts today, for the first time.. immediately after doing them... ironic. Anyways...
 
no, i've never turned around backwards in the hack squat machine, lol. it sounds ridiculous as i type it. i don't think ours will allow that, especially with the feet placement i use. we do have a different sort of hack machine in the corner though that i've never used that will allow you do turn around in it. i'll probably end up using it at some point. most likely when i can't find any heavier people to put on top the leg press. :D

Hmmm...I could tell that your neck would hurt today-that's why I said that-you see I am physic!!:head: Good luck and be careful with the neck-it's pretty important.

it shoudlnt, all the big guys who hurt themself end up doing high reps
 
So, I think after this log we can conclude that this silly high frequency, high intensity, low volume stuff doesn't work for beans.

*whew* glad we can put that to rest.

So THAT's what your callin it now. I love pet names.
 
I think Beelz should rethink his trianing and start from scratch with something that actually works. This is getting to be bornerline pathetic with those messed up results.
 
I was thinking Pilates, or maybe a Spinning class. :rolleyes:

leg press doesn't mean **** to me. it's just another leg movement that's in the way before i get back to squats. it has it's use though.

i'm coming for you pat robertson. :bb2:
 
Man I miss the drop kick.. We need to bring that baby back.

Yes Beez, so far the use for the leg press is to give your training partners a fun ride on the Sled.. looking at your twig and berries through your shorts.


:lol:

Yeah yeah, acting all nonchalant about a 1500 pound leg press. Frickin' tough guy. Kwyckmynd? I thought that guy checked himself into a leper colony or something. He also gave the best head ever. I miss those days.

That is weird you mentioned the knee level Beelze. I was just going to ask you about that today. I lift from right in the middle of my knee and was just going to see if you thought that was low enough.
 
how wide do you go on the hammer machines?. I've been going about 2 inches in from the handle because i have weak cleavage, but hell i'd rather pile on some more weight and go wider.

Also, how do you bench? Arched? Do you tuck or flare your elbows? I'm trying to figure my benching out because I think whatever way I was doing it before was aggrivating my rotator cuff.
 
mullet, middle of knee is preferable but my rack doesn't have the right set up. hell, i have to put 45's under my feet just to reach top of knee level.

ktw, i usually have my thumb tip in line with the end of the handle, so we're right about in the same area. as for my flat bench nowadays, being that i won't go below 20 reps, my elbows are flared and my back is flat. i've had too many injuries on flat bench going heavy, gotta learn eventually. as for your rotator cuff, where are you bringing the bar to? what level at your chest?
 
For a while I was bringing it and the dumbells to the upper portion of my chest, as close to the collar bone as possible, which was great for hypertrophy but when doing anything below 10 reps it starts to take its toll after 2 or 3 weeks of lifting.

Previously when I was doing heavy sets of 5 and triples I was coming down to my nipples or slightly above, that just happened to use a little bit more tri's than I was going for and sometimes I didn't get a lot out of the chest.

My chest is my worst body part, it's there and has some mass, but is nowhere close to where I want it, I wish I could take some chunks out of my back and just glue them on to my pecs.
 
Beelzbub you interested in a Charles Poliquin arm routine for size and power? Just read it in one of those Pumped magazines by SAN, i'll post it if you want i'm currently trying it out and like it. It's main purpose it to really increase your poundages for arms.

I'm going to be starting up DC training soon, i signed up at intensemuscle and have been reading everything that Dante writes and i'm really excited to try it out. I'm already a big believer in getting stronger to get bigger, logging weights, doing cardio year round and stretching.

Do you use a modified DC routine? 2 working sets instead of 1? Did you find 1 wasn't enough or what?
 
self-modified to my liking :D

2 working sets when i feel the need, which is rare but it does occur. most of the time it's a heavy set, followed by a burnout with a lighter weight.
 
Just did my first DC workout today

biceps
forearms
quads
hams
calfs

one word INTENSE, calfs were screamin, i'm likin it, can't wait till i have to beat my lifts.
