*** The 2012 Gym Rats Thread ***

[mrthingyx]

Like I said, the door way is practically attached to a cupboard, so there isn't much (any) of the right hand skirting.

I'll sort something. I did take it to the gym but the door is some stupid width fire door, so doesn't work

STick a couple more nails into the architrave and use that.

Uber finger strength, too.

Unless these trees are more than 2ft in diameter it doesn't count. Get yourself down the gym!

 

[Delvis]

Thats a workout in its self!

Trying to put fences up in places where there are old concrete foundations previously...yes, kinda hard

 

[Skillmister]

DB press 27.5kg 8,7,6

[Deception]

Where's the Overhead Press or do you rather do DB press then using the BB?

 

[Delvis]

Things like the DB and arnold press would hit the same areas I'd have thought?

 

[Deception]

Probably, I'm just used to doing the BB press and then doing stuff like DB press as assistance. So, was just being nosey

 

[Skillmister]

I prefer DB to BB. Sometimes i switch if i feel like it

 

[Djdom56]

New rep pb

The university powerlifting club was having it's intro session yesterday so it was absolutely packed ended up being a good session. Also managed kroc rows with a 50kg dumbbell for 25 reps .

Arnold presses are more front delt workers...so worth doing them both.

Fair game

Core this evening:

-Mobility
-Planks:
1min 10sec, 1min, 1min.
-Land mines +5kg on bar:

-Pallof press: band

My left arm while doing some work appears to collapse at the core...So not sure if thats the right or left obliques etc lacking? It's damn annoying either way.

Deads tomorrow, cannot wait.

Cracking lifting dom, amazing how you two keep so damn tight

[DogsBody]

DogsBody - you have listed all the common exercises for each body part, well done. You have made a comment about squats taking priority over leg pess, well done.

What exactly are you looking for? Do you think in all that somewhere you have missed the one exercise that will triple your growth? The one wierd old tip that will give you not only 3 day abs (used to be 5 but thans to a strange old method its now 3) but also grow your penis.

Ok im being facetious, but really all youve done is posted a list of perfectly reasonable body part exercises, there is nothing for us to analyse or recommend. post exact routine or something. Plus your mention of "a selection of these" reeks of whatever i feel like on the day = bad.

I simply posted the exercises that I do.
I was reading through the thread and noted a few exercises that i don't do.
So I thought I would ask here if anyone thought that there is an important or essential exercise I am missing.
Am I missing

As for what my routine being whatever I feel like, generally the main compound lifts are fixed, and then I will do whatever support exercises I feel like

my current training split is
Mon
Chest/biceps/abs

Tues
Legs/Shoulders

Fri
Back/Triceps

 

[Deception]

Felt tired this morning, but managed to finish with decent numbers on shoulder day:

OHP:
50x5
60x5x3
70x3
75x1

Kroc Rows
Rear Lateral raises
Pull/chin ups

 

[Delvis]

Well, I shant be freezing blueberries again, they go all naff and kinda mushy

 

[MoNkeE]

Got the day off work so morning training after breakfast. Was a decent session, only 120kg deadlifts but 4 sets of 8 and all felt good, no straps.

60kg BORs, lat pull down, then millions of curls. Looking thick, tight, solid.

 

[Syla5]

Well, I shant be freezing blueberries again, they go all naff and kinda mushy

clearly doing it wrong!

are you letting them defrost before you eat them?? i eat mine straight frozen and they are perfectly fine

 

[Delvis]

Bare curls man.

Good work

 

[Delvis]

Frozen? I'd rather not be chewing on small rocks thank you I have my oats cold, so yeah

 

[MoNkeE]

Yeah, wholly frozen will be nice, don't let them defrost.
