Competition #2 For Anyone and Everyone

[william rand]

What dya have? Flu or something? It's bad enough when life gets in the way & you miss a day or 2. Missing more than that , you feel like yer in withdrawal. It's been 4 days for me too.

yeah i think it was the flu, just felt extremely tired, muscles aches, slight fever, i would nap 2-3 times a day and then sleep 8-9 hours at night, just tried to relax all day long and eat to get my strength. within a week, I'll get back to where I was and then kick into higher gear from there...I know I gained back some fat, but hell that's life....

Well, recovery from a sickness like that is far more important than gaining a kilo of fat. Make sure you take vits & stuff, get your immune system back.

Well its time for me to change my routine a little. The weights have hit a little bit of a platue (yes on cycle). Sure they are still going up but not at the weight I want them to. I think because I mainly have core exercises that worked well for me to get where I am. I need to change it up a little and start hitting different areas of the muscle. by switching some exercises. Maybe do some sissy bar curls instead of all barbells. Im going to do some of those JM presses as a main exercise for my tris. My shoulders are going good though so its staying and same with back. Forearms as well making awsome progress. I think the Test that I got might be underdosed a tad . Whatever next time I will have something to compare it to. Live and learn.

Nice choice on the JM presses for Tri's. Maybe a Dropoff set of high rep close-grip? Just because ur on the sauce right now and ur healing ability is through the roof.

Every do hammer curls for biceps? They are supposed to more effective at working the bronchiluts head(or hoever u spell it) in the bicep?

My bicep workout.
EZ-Bar Curls - I feel the angle activates my bicep better.
Heavy Hammer Curls - 5-8 rep range
21's - With enough weight to finish all 21.

What i like to do as well, is get the long cambered bar for close grip benching. Set it up in the sqaut cage(only when the other cages are open), wrape green bands around the ends of the barbell, and single loop the other end to the cage footing(should be done, loop to cage and pull up to bar).

The negative effect from the rubberband is ridiculous.

Your backworkout should be good, esp if ur doing the added chinups in there.

Its nice to switch things up once in a while, but still dont want u doing pussy fluff exercises =]

 

[cityhick]

haha (fluffy exercises) I will always be Squating/Benching/ And yes now Deadlifting. My back has been healing up much better then ever before and i dont get "pain" anymore.

My Bi was

DB curls up to 55lbs
BB Curl up to 100lbs
Hammer machine- Up to 100lbs
Then finish with 21's or Hammer Curls

I have to do hammers because I am still working HEAVY on forarms for next years arnold classic.

By the way. I just now started doing the forarm work that you have a rope tied to a cut-off broomstick and a 25lbs weight. TALK ABOUT A PUMP and it gets my forarms better then anything. Cheap and easy with AWSOME results. I dont have any bands... NO ONE uses em around here. Not that I care I just dont have any and dont know where to find em. Maybe ill try em out...

Here's one I took during a recent workout, trying out my camera.

Yeah, it'll be about 3-4 weeks before I can lift with my previous intensity. so, when I do start to lift it'll be way lighter, with lots of reps.
