aanalien you post some sick workouts. do you take any suppliments before lifting? even taking nitric oxide and high dose of caffeine i still would burn out after 2/3 of that list.

i wish i was still lifting man i wanna try that shit out on my shoulders

my typical shoulder template is like:

arnold/military press: 12@x10x10x8x (freeweights)
lateral delt raises: same as above (cables)
reverse fly (posterior delt extensions?): same as above (cables or machine)
tricep pulldown (same) (cables)
tricep extensions or single handed french curl (same) (freeweights)
shoulder shrugs 10x 10x 10x 10x
dips till fail (usually at this point, i fail between 40 and 50)

thing is tho i rest for bout 4 mins in between each exercise, and 45s or so between each set. im usually totally recharged in that time. after 4 sets tho, my 5th would be pitiful without a few mins of just breathing deep and pacing around.
 
I did a light leg workout today 5 sets of squats and 3 sets of front squats my legs have been fried from all the running I've been doing lately.
 
40 min of stride drills and easy running

hopefully sweat out some of last night's booze.
 
Today I shovelled snow for a good hour.

Most days I spend the day--on the clock--working on my feet. That is a workout enough for me.

:)
 
Yesterday I ran around a lake and to the ocean. It was quite a run; I'm not sure my calves have ever been more sore from running (though I've ran longer distances... just not like that, I guess)

ahhaah thanks dude. Some days are beastly like that and other days aren't. Today I just did some chest.

db incline press - 80s, 90s, 100s, 110s, and 120s for 10 reps then 130s for 6 reps. then I did some diamonds and some cable flies and was finished.

I take a lot of stuff pre workout - creatine, glutamine, arginine (and aakg), citruline malate, beta alanine, b multi, taurene, etc.. nothing hormonal just vitamins, minerals, and aminos and like 200mg of caffeine. that plus a good preworkout meal 1 hour before and a few glasses of water really gets me in the zone. I've also found that a little bit of salt and sugar with the pre workout regimen can help too. Post workout I take protein, joint supps, fish oils, multivitamin, and bcaas.

Somedays I go 45 seconds to a full 2 minutes between sets and some days the entire routine is one long super set without rest. I like to really push myself and get my heart rate going really hard and the sweat pouring off me - especially when i'm doing shoulders and arms because I don't feel a need to go heavy so I just do a massive circuit training thing with tons of reps and sets.

oh and 40-50 dips is a ton lol. I usually do 16 but dips are a lift that I don't push anywhere past a good confort zone. I could easily do 20+ but that's a LOT of weight on my wrists, elbows, and shoulders so I just have fun with it. I used to use the belt and do dips with up to 150 lbs hangin off the belt but the one at the gym is MIA.. I'll probably have to get my own.

ok well i used to supplement the same, sans all the extra amino acids cuz i just simply never got into that aspect of the science that much. i just ate really really good.

its probably all psychological, energy level differences that is. i dont lift very well without headphones, for example. Im completely useless if pop music is coming out of the stereo.
 
I live in Baltimore. We got a good 4 feet of snow. YEsterday I snowboarded literally all day. Plus I shoveled. Today I shoveled some neighbors out. Not enough to justify pizza and beer for the Superbowl, but good enough.
 
lats, back and biceps.


last friday i managed to bench a personal best (on a machine), 90kgs. did 7 reps. went 70 x10, 80 x 10 and then 90 x 7. felt good, man.
 
Man, I just can't get the hang of this "cardio" thing.


It's like I totally SUCK at it. It's like I'm one of those...oh, what's the word for when someone is NEW at something?


Ugh, even my vocabulary's gone to hell...
