Double deadlift

Posted In: Daily Workouts, Today at the Gym

So as part of my lower body routine yesterday I did deadlifts, topping out at pulling 355 pounds off the hooks.  I got an unexpected second round of power lifting today.  The owner of the gym was struggling to get a treadmill he was selling out the door, it wouldn’t fit going through with normal orientation.  Myself and another long time gym goer I am friendly with offered to help him and another gym employee flip the treadmill on it’s side and maneuver it out that way, like you would a sofa.

I figured the commercial treadmill would be heavy but I didn’t expect it to be that heavy.  I bet it weighed between 400-500 pounds.  The plan to flip it sideways didn’t work out either so four of us wound up lugging the thing all the way through the gym through the front double doors.  We then had to lift it into the bed of the owner’s pick up truck.  He was very appreciative of our help and said if he didn’t have assistance he would have been wrecked for his Costa Rica surfing trip this weekend.  I guess owning low cost, lunk free, cookie cutter gyms can still have some high bottom lines.

I had decent lower body session at the gym today despite not feeling much pep in my step.  I managed to pull 355 pounds off the ground without doing any significant damage, at least immediately noticeable damage.  The gym is so congested during this time of year,  since it is the heart of snowbird season, that it is easy to just get annoyed and cut workouts short.  It does annoy me to varying degrees but I just try to keep my head down and my focus intact.

Today’s Workout

5 minutes cardio/stretching

18 pull ups

Smith squat – 105lbs x 10, 155lbs x 8, 195lbs x 4

Smith DL – 195lbs x 10, 285lbs x 5, 335lbs x 1, 355lbs x 1

Seated leg extension – 110lbs x 10, 190lbs x 6

Seated leg curl – 100lbs x 10, 140lbs x 8

Standing one leg calf raise – x 10 x 10 x 12

Posted In: Daily Workouts, Lifting Heavy Things

So ever since I reconnected with my bench press buddy at Retro 2-3 years ago we had talked about getting our bench press back to 250lbs, something we both accomplished in our younger days.  Despite the talk and good intentions the closest we ever got on a free standing barbell was 245 lbs doing decline bench at Retro.

Since Planet Fitness made the stupid decision to remove all bench presses from their gym our only option has been the using the Smith machine for the movement which admittedly, is not the same since you are pushing the weight in a locked travel path and not having to stabilize it otherwise.  Since I started my CBD oil I have been making some slow and steady strength gains.  Last week I actually got one rep with two 45’s and a 25 on each side which translated to 245 pounds, again on the precipice of that long standing goal.

La bicicleta tipurile de frâne hidraulice cu disc sunt diverse.

Well this week I once again got the same amount of plates up but it actually hit that magical 250 pound mark since this smith actually has a 5 pound heavier empty bar weight.  It’s also that machine that has the fatter bar and slightly angled upper path which sort of sucks.  That angle actually was forcing me to slide on the bench as I pressed upward.  Even so I managed to grind out the rep, barely, which was cool.  I didn’t really realize I hit that number until I started doing the math afterward.  We followed up with two heavy negatives with three 45’s on a side.  I think the negatives definitely play a role in me finally hitting my goal number.

Today’s Workout

Smith bench press – 110lbs x 10, 160lbs x 8, 200lbs x 1, 250lbs x 1, 200lbs x 6, 200lbs x 5, 160lbs x 15, 160lbs x 10

Best with no fuel?

Today because of meetings that lasted all morning I did not get to follow my normal routine which includes eating my packed lunch at around 10:45 am, giving myself a bit of a time for my food to digest by my noon workout.  I got out of the meeting a few minutes before 12 so I headed straight to the gym, sans food.

I sort of expected to not feel that great due to the lack of lunch and the lingering side effects of our Super Bowl party which included lots of food and alcohol.  I was very surprised I actually felt strong, stronger than in quite awhile.  I 1RM’d at fake 275 pounds (245 actual) and it went surprisingly well without any pause or crazy struggle.  I was quite surprised and wondered if our heavy negatives we have done the last few weeks are starting to pay dividends.  After the 1RM I stripped the 25 pound plate and slid a third 45 pounder on each side and did two more slow and controlled negatives with just enough help to get it back up.

Today’s Workout

Smith bench press – 105lbs x 12, 155lbs x 8, 195lbs x 3, 215lbs x 1, 235lbs x 1, 245lbs x 1, 285 negative x 1, 285 negative x 1, 195lbs x 7, 195lbs x 6, 155lbs x 12

Pec dec – 100lbs x 10, 120lbs x 1, 130lbs x 10

It really seems that lately old men have been stealing the show when it comes to dumb, bizarre and downright gross behavior at the gym.  Today as I was again washing my hands before leaving there was yet another old man ready to enter the shower.  I actually know this guy from my days at Retro although I have never spoken to him.  I actually have mentioned him in the blog before for his strange and ineffective routine where he bounces reps incredibly fast with poor ROM and very light weight.  I never understood the point.

So anyway he was preparing himself to enter the shower stall.  However before stepping in he worked up a nice gross sounding loogie and proceeded to spit it on the floor of the shower.  WTF?  Why would you do such a thing?  Does standing in a diluted pile of your own spit and mucus have some sort of miraculous medicinal effect?  I added the act to the long and growing mental checklist of things I never hope to do as I get older.

Today’s Workout

5 minutes cardio/stretching

20 pull ups

50 push ups

60 second wall handstand

Standing oblique rotation x 20

Ab wheel roll out x 10

Standing oblique rotation x 20

Ab wheel roll out x 10

Seated weighted ab extension – 110lbs x 10, 150lbs x 8
