Eric, looking good!!!

I'm thinking that maybe I should change my workout every week now ...

It's tough taking pics of yourself, isn't it? My BF refuses to take pics of me for this forum ...

Aw, thanks for the complements, Eric :)

I'll see what I can do ... I'm not so sure the foxy is going to work on him, though. He doesn't fall for that stuff very easily. Or else I just suck at it :D
 
Did a workout with my friend at home tonight.

Consisting of push ups, sit ups, obliques w/10# medicine ball, lunges...etc.

Felt good. I also dropped down 2# in the last 2 weeks bringing me down to 195 from 197.

The smell of beef stir fry is calling me...I must go :D

smell ya later
 
I'm back and I'm finally over this damn cold. I only trained tuesday and saturday of last week. Training tonight and now I'm back in the saddle.

ankle raise 4x12

Bench press
220 lbs 1x12
240 lbs 1x12

240 lbs 1x10

Was a bit weaker than usual but I'm attributing that to that nasty cold I had.
I have to get my diet back on track as well. For some reason when I'm sick I eat like a pig. Not sure why but I'm feeling it.
I did cook up my signature stir fry saturday and my bomb ass BBQ'd chicken with my homemade sauce last night.
Oats and blueberries this morning for breakfast, Krazy Kraken salad today for lunch.

Almost time to up the weight again on the BOR's I'm noticing huge improvements each time I do them. I may shoot for 160 lbs on wednesday.
Got a whopping 2.5 hours of sleep last night because my youngest was up all night as usual.

I guess I'm keeping this journal for myself now.
 
Took advantage of the nice weather and ran 4 miles last night.

Also did my usual pull up circuit. Its been a while so I couldn't do as many as usual.

1x12 pull ups
1x8 chin ups
1x8 pull ups
1x5 chin ups
Then managed to do 4 more with my alternating grip trick.
 
Nice going Yetified. Now go eat an aranian ant. Or lick Erics left bicep.

What the f**ks ILM and Eric playing at, i cant see no updates. Anyway i hope this cold dont last too long.

SheepTom.
 
I'll be posting a workout tonight Yeti...I shall give it twice the effort I usually put in it...My partner will be screaming himself out of the gym once I am done with him. :D

I have no excuse for not working out for the past 3 days...and there is no reason for me to not workout tonight.

Quick note, have been losing 1 pound per week in the last 3 weeks and have no idea why...intake did not change and workouts have more or less stayed the same. I should just be happy instead of questioning this I guess...but still wondering...work has been ****ed up lately though...

meh.

Eric is scared. I'm giving him until monday to post a workout otherwise I'm going back to The Kronicles.
 
Nah man, you are not alone...we are always watching, hoping, and waiting to see you shirtless.

On a serious note, that's quite kick ass about the BORs...you just moved to 150 not too long ago! That's some impressive d00 d00 for sure. I'm jealous, I'm stalled out on BORs like a rusty Pinto...
 
Hey there you are Eric. You better get off your ass over there.

Thanks MMW. Not sure why but I'm making strides with the BOR's quite niicely. I'll post shirtless pics in a few weeks. Maybe I'll wear my assless as well chaps just for you.

SheepTom, I'm not really part of this thread. I only posted one workout to see whether or not I could motivate Eric to do the same.

I can post my workouts here if you like. But we'd have to change the name of the thread to The Elusive Yeti, the Latex Queen and Eric: MIA :D
 
OK.

Monday night (November 3):

5 minute warm up on the bike.
Tried skipping for 5 minutes, too. Just about had a coronary.
Had to rest (translation: gasp for breath) for 5 minutes before getting into my workout.

Left shoulder is still taped up and bugging me. It must have been a larger tear than previously thought. It's been 7 weeks, so I haven't had a decent upper body workout for almost two months. Very depressing.

Lunges
3x10 (managed to hang on to 25 pound DBs but had to have them passed to me)

Squats (with spotter for my left arm in case I needed help putting the bar back)
1x10 @ 100lbs
1x10 @ 125lbs
1x10 @ 150 lbs
1x6 @ 175 lbs (don't know why I couldn't do more)
1x10 @205 lbs

Finally feeling like I'm actually doing some work with those now!

Leg curls
1x10 @ 80 lbs
1x10 @ 90 lbs
3x10 @ 100 lbs

Calf raises
3x10 with toes pointed out
3x10 with toes pointed straight
3x10 with toes pointed inwards

Bosu ball squats -- 3x10

Had a need to do bicep curls with my right arm. So I did 3x10 @20lbs.

Did some forward and lateral and overhead raises, too. Had to hit my delts. At least one side of them ...

Then did skullcrushers
3x10 @ 15lb DBs (felt the bicep tendon on those)

And tricep kickbacks
3x10 @ 10lb DBs (far too easy, but better than a kick in the butt).

And to finish off the workout, some one-armed pull ups. Spotted of course ;) I'm not that strong.

Ended off the whole session with 20 minutes of core and stretching.

Felt like I hadn't done anything when I got home :(

Physio on Tuesday night. Shoulder feels a lot better today :)
 
Good workout ILM. Feel free to post here anytime.

My 6 weeks is up saturday and I'm thinking of a new routine.
Here it is

Deadlifts
Bent Over Rows
Chest flies
Military press

I need 1 more compound

For isolation I'll alternate between hammer curls and close grip bp's.

Any suggestions for that last compound? I want something that will kick my ass somethin proper
 
How about clean and jerks or snatches?

No funny comments from the peanut gallery guys ....

OK. Only Tom can comment on this :luxlove:

Haha, im the forum f**king idiot :D

Krak, flies instead of pressing? Flies primarly hit the pecs and only slightly hit the biceps and delts really. Personally i wouldnt call them a compound lift but thats me.

And yea ILM has got a good idea about adding in an olympic lift. Only problem with those is they are probably hard to get good form from self learning the lift (not saying you will use bad form). But its a possibility. Power cleans are fairly simple :D ish.

Rape a goat.
