30 x deadlift into shoulder press (40kg)
4 min break
30 x deadlift into shoulder press (40kg)
I honestly thought this was gonna be pretty straight forward.
Time under tension
Set 1 5.25 (one of the trainers did 3.05!!!!!)
Set 2 6.55
These two seriously busted my balls - one of the most deceiving exercises Ive ever done.
Just got back to the gym after a 3 1/2 month "lay off" (have been coaching and running a little league baseball club)
Had this brilliant idea of a head to toe re-vamp to kick start it all over.
Did at least two different excercises per muscle, 8 - 15 reps, moderate weights
Started with shrugs and ended with calves. Worked really quite well.
Shrugs
Shoulders/Delts two heads
Bench/Pecs incline, regular, decline
Back and Traps
Biceps
Tri's
Abs
Lower back / Roman
Hack
Leg press
Leg Extention
Leg curl
Calf raises

That move is serious!
There is this one dude at the gym, not huge, but just cut up and looks strong. He does 10 reps of the deadlift, clean & press, and once he's done he immediately walks over and does 10 pull-ups (widegrip, palms forward). That's one set. Rest, and then two more sets. Serious shit.

All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
Not much formulation going on with this one. I just had such a long layoff that I know I need to get it back quick, and working a rotating 12 hour shift is not the way to do it.
It actually came to me in the gym and I just looked in the mirror and mentally put the excercises to the body part as I went down. Went moderate weights and tried to work through them as fast as I could recover. Maybe 2 minutes max between sets. Used the break to get the next station ready.
I feel pretty good today. Gonna try this for a few days and see what happens.

Yeah you are telling me and 30 of them really hurt. I must add that from the deadlift to shoulder there was then a full squat (bar on shoulder). From there it was just a drive with the legs into shoulder press.
I reckon Ive tried nearly every exercise possible and to superset this with something else would be just suicide. 10 push ups or so would be fine be chins...no way
The 30 straight just tore me to shreds - hence the massive time delay of the 2nd set.

Nice short breaks - sound like you are well and truely on your way back.

How much fitness do you reckon you lost?
Not too sore?
I definetely have lost alot of strength. I kept busy with baseball, so I still feel limber and my legs are as fresh as they can be. The last two weeks was probably the best on my legs in a long time. I had to keep up with the 12 year olds while they were being coached by a great guy that doesnt allow any walking on the baseball diamond.
Every time I take any time off it seems like the strength just drops right off, but I am almost 39. I hope to be able to get back up to 250+ on the bench within a few weeks and hopefully reach 300 before I turn 40.
I am not too sore considering, except the ole' pecs are a little tender.

Like riding a bike mate - well done. Straight into bench too!!!
I know what you mean about losing strength. I lose chin ups so easily if I dont keep doing them.
Nothing worse than thinking 'Ill do 5 sets of 10 chins with 2 min breaks' then going for the second or third set and only getting 5 out. Its mind boggling.
If Im doing anything over 40 chins in a session I usually putt the bose ball underneath and 'jump' them out as opposed to kipping http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAZaHzd6qAY

i shoot hoops and walk to the nearby park but that's about it.
i don't look overweight or anything but once i take my shirt, boooomm pops out a little gut. i'm about 186lbs at 5'8"...need to be in the 165-170 range.

Seriously I think we could be long lost brothers. I've got about 5 pounds on you though
Workout went well today, but I am getting a lot of soreness in joints (shoulder, wrist) and I'm icing & taking ibuprofen (sp?). I wonder what I'm doing wrong? I don't get all crazy with the heaviness or anything.

Just a little niggle? You hope those things just go away. I had a slight pinch/soreness in my wrist for about a month and everytime I did pushups or something requiring hand stabilisation it used to be more painful than the exercise itself. Eventually it just went...I hope this occurs to you also.
South of Seattle - will have workouts for you tomorrow - got one done yesterday - another tonight.
Right this was easier than the 30 x deadlift/squat/shoulder press last week......
10kg medicine ball. Squat and press but press ball up to 9 ft against wall x 150. 10.45sec. I hear a rumour someone has done it in 7 - how I dont fuckin know.
8 chins, 90sec cobra hold - no break x 4
1km wind down on treadmill.
I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

still making me feel like a lazy piece of shit with that ha
you do this mornings or lunch time?
You are not allowed in here until you join young lady!
Usually go just after lunch so I miss the rush and never have to wait for any machine. The luxury of working for yourself.
Im not a morning person at all - I even struggle going for an early during summer.
I honestly wish I could run or train first thing in the morning to feel good for the rest of the day but Ive given up on that hope unfortunately.
I promised a mate last night Id join up his gym and start boxing again - we did it together at school. Silly move
But I need to turn my little gut into a nice sixpack.
Any advice on getting nice abs?
