Wasme's recomp journey....

11/22/2014 ARMS / Calves

A little milder today which was good for running and the garage temp. Got workout out of the way this morning, then an afternoon at the arena.. Heading out tonight to a 'hockey party'. Parents from my son's team for the past couple of seasons. Should be fun. Going to try to not indulge in too many adult beverages - but tis the season I suppose.

245x25 / 50

Looks like I missed your chest workout. Chest pumping!!
Great arm workout. Love those incline curls with partials, definitely pump material.


You went heavy on back with those rows getting a deep stretch. I've noticed my bi's will be sore for a couple days when I go heavy on those. Bi's get worked more than probably any muscle during a workout. Hopefully the soreness is just from fatigue and nothing else. Could be from all that shoveling you have to do too.
Have fun tonight! Well earned!
 
Tis is the season. Have fun bro.
 
All around great workouts, as usual! Nice work Simon!!

Ya doing them in the smith is not the easiest as there is no back support, just have to go lighter and keep full control. I do try to offset it though by making my tut longer.

Thanks! Seems better today.
 
Awesome looking leg day!

I don't feel anything negative in my knees doing extensions, but hearing so many people say that I think I may drop them for other stuff, unless I stick to only high rep ext.

Oh my!! My type of workout here. That upper chest had to be screaming. Slight incline db's to fill incline Barbell with lots of reps, sets, and weights! Not sure how you managed to do 50x60 on the destroyers after doing the the side laterals either, they had to be on fire! You must've taken some painkillers prior to working out...lol! I would've had to!!!
 
Your lifts continue to amaze and inspire me Simon! Inclines are freaking strong! Machine!

Thanks Turff. I'll admit to some pauses on those 60 reps.. I am sore this morning.

Tomorrow is my 44th birthday... the biggest decision is if I am going out for Steak or Sushi... I can't decide. Mind you my daughters bday is the next day and she loves sushi so lol
