Tuesday's Workout
Chest and Back
Reps: 10 of each exercise
Sets: 4
Incline Bench Press
Pullup
Incline Pushup
Incline Pec Flys

I'd sub out the incline push up for flat bench DB. I'd also add a type of DB row. Pull ups are great but you don't have any horizontal back movements.

Good observation. I'm going to try to stick with it for 3 weeks and then start switching things up. Like maybe do the p90x chest and back workout on tuesday, etc.

That's a good idea, it's more well rounded than what you have.

Also - you do clean and presses with dumbbells? You should try thrusters.

I do clean and press with dumbells right now. I don't go all the way to floor though.

I looked up thrusters, I will try them out.

More good stuff. Senility in distance runners?

11. Slow long distance aerobic work is not a guarantee of cardiac health. Actually top cardiologist Dr. Bijan Pourat considers it “junk exercise”. He espouses resistance training for cardiac patient.

I hope the two kilometers I swam yesterday won't make me senile.

I went to a shit mountain outside of NYC 2 weeks ago and my legs were fucked at the end of the day. I've never been out west and I'm thinking 3 days on those long runs and bowls could destroy me.:-/
Just wanted to report back, that none of my prep mattered. I was wayy too late. I got fucking destroyed. Went 3 days in a row. The 3rd day was at Vail and I was worthless after the first run. I was actually pissed, that place is amazing.

Next year I'm aiming to be able to rep 315 on squats again and putting in A LOT more into prepping my legs.....weights, springs, etc. Everything.

WOuld like to tell you it gets easier with age, but it doesnt!
Guy I know goes at it hard for 10-12 weeks before he goes on his hunting trips out west in the mountains/

Just wish the weather would get and stay nice! Few weeks ago I would kill for a 30 degree run, now it just seems too cold.

I'm realizing that. I've always been rather injury free and quick to recover. That all started going to shit after age 27. :/

tell you what though...keep at it and it really does pay off. When you are hitting mid 30's and most guys cant do shit physically you start to look like a rockstar.

Or high 40's when you're lifting more than people half your age. ;)

I agree with the recovery though. Every morning getting out of bed is like being the spokesperson for Rice Krispies (snap-crackle-pop)

Yeah, I hear ya. I have to keep up with kids more than half my age sometimes. I hold my own, beat quite a few of them, but man some days it is just damned rough.

I have noticed I have been feeling more stiff in the back and legs lately as well. I will be turning 28 this August. If anyone follows rippedbody.jp (suggested by Auto), I just started an A/B split. My body is recovering much better now.

I just got on that site for the first time in a while a few days ago. It looks a lot better, tons of content.

I'd like to get real strict again and follow one of the formulas (slow gainer?) to really dial in the macros. Tough now though, spring coming.

I've recently added more volume to my workouts to increase TUT. Where my reps were previously in the 6-10 range, I've now upped my reps to as much as 20 on assistance work to increase mass.

I haven't done yoga since the old P90X days. If I tried now, I'd probably die.

My issue stems more from a cracked disc in my lower back from a pro wrestling injury 13 years ago. It will probably eventually need surgery but I'm putting it off as long as possible. After walking into my former accountant's office and seeing him literally bent like an "L" permanently at the waist, after a back surgery, let's just say I'm a tad skittish.

Haven't been on this thread in a long time. But my training has been going great. Doing a lot of Olympic lift derivatives (Clean pulls, snatch pulls, mid thigh pulls, counter movement shrugs)

Hit 370lbs for 3x3 squat the other week. I am 180lbs, so I was happy to finally be able to squat 2x my bodyweight. Also at 5'10" I am dunking a basketball pretty easily now.


Happy training!

I have been at a actual weight plateau for about a month even though I had been eating the same number of calories per day and same workout regimen throughout the week (workout every day, alternate days between cardio and weights)

I had lost about 13 lbs since November. Then I had sat at the same weight (187) for a month straight.

I have not changed my workouts, I have not changed the total calories. All that I changed was the carb to protein ratio I was eating (before calories were like 60% carbs, 20% protein, 20% fat...now its about 40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% fat).

I have dropped 4 lbs in two weeks just with a higher protein diet.
