Not sure if srs…

I SLDL’ed the day before… and the next day, benching was painful due to sore traps and midback. I wish I were so talented!

Supposed to do quads today, but I feel like I need a day off. Gonna take my gear to work and if I feel like lifting after, I’ll catch a late night quads o’ death sesh.

EDIT: oh, I’d like to share something that was shown to me by Mr. Evan aka ebomb:

PROTEIN PANCAKES. I love pancakes, and these taste like bomb-ass choco banana pancakes.

-200g milk of some sort (he uses calorie countdown, I’ve been using almond milk)
-90g banana (approx 1 med-large babana)
-1 scoop whey
-70g oats
-1 omega-3 egg

I blend it up then make little pancakes. SO FUCKING GOOD.

462

Cut me some slack I haven’t slept in 4 days, no wonder I didn’t understand the sldl post.

PANCAKES!

463

Extremely relevant to thread:

Bug, I’ve been meaning to ask you, what are those “Stretchers?”

464

Bug. I tried them (one-arm db ext.) standing, they feel good on the muscle but it’s obvious to me they would feel even better with back support

465

Just ate a serving of those pancakes (10 med sized pancakes, om nom nom) with a chicken breast. SO GOOD.

Been real busy setting up apartment viewing appointments for a last minute trip to Boston I’m taking on Sunday-Tues. Tough finding places in the “off season”.

SSC, It’s a John Meadows exercise. Basically brace your foot against the seat of a pulldown, and using the little v-grip attachment, start from a stretch position and row to the upper chest, emphasizing the upper chest going up and contracting the lats hard. Video in the back article IIRC.

Jake, how much weight did you use? Seated or standing shouldn’t make too much of a difference since the weight is so light, but yeah, it’s a good movement.

Took off yesterday, gonna try to get enough done in the next 2 hours so I can go hit a quick quads session before work tonight.

466

Doood! You should come hang out with me and Masch in NYC next month, if you can!

467

Also…Duke Nukem…another game on N64 that I played the shit out of

468

OMG, I LOVED Duke Nukem. Co-op FTW.

I’m gonna PM you kekekeke.

On a side note, I have been staring at a computer screen allll day. I got called that I didn’t need to come to work, so I’ve been working overtime on this apartment search. Gonna be a busy couple days. Gonna feel MUCH better if I find something decent and can lock down a lease.

469

If ya’ll are talking N64, it begins and ends with 1998’s “NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC”. There is NO better game, period, end of story.

470

So you’re leaving the Great state of Texas to pahk ya cah in Hahvahd yahd? Pssshhhh… Sellout.

471

N64 ? People please.

The real thing was the first Doom game, on one of the old school PC. Headphones, no lights, jumping out of the chair everytime a 2D demon threw a fireball at you.

True statement. The create a player feature was the best. I created a perfect “Moses”.

473

Bug- it was like 26~lb dumbells I guess for me to hit hardish 8 rep sets… so yeah not much… I guess they are kind of like dumbbell kickbacks in that regard, speaking of, have you managed to use JM-style kickbacks effectively? I tried them… and they are definitely not a very natural movement first time through.

474

Spidey - never been much into basketball games except HANG TIME or w/e that game was called. Also: NFL Blitz anyone??

Delta - I used to be a big PC gamer, so I know what you’re talking about. For some reason I didn’t play Doom when it was released, but I did play Wolfenstein 3D religiously, also games like Rise of the Triad, Myst, Descent, etc were part of my old school PC game arsenal.

ajweins - get outta here with your 315x12 bench plz.

jake - yeah, for a movement like that, I wouldn’t choose a weight that’s any heavier than a solid 10 reps per arm. And I love JM’s kickbacks. Everyone’s muscles attach differently and due to biomechanics, you may need some tweaking to get the feel just right.

So I was gonna get a late workout last night, skipped it. Was gonna do a double session today (quads AM, delts PM), but that didn’t happen due to stuff coming up, so I’m gonna do a joint quads/delts mega sesh this afternoon. Gonna feel so good. Also, stuffed my face last night.

475

NFL Blitz ftmfw

476

Ohh, Hang Time is pretty dirty, too, but that game doesn’t include the one and only Cherokee Parks, the best athlete in all of sports. But we play Blitz alot at my dorm too. My only issue with Blitz is I’m a diety when it’s 2 on 2, but if I have to run a team by myself, I get raped…

Wait, all this talk of N64 and PC games, were you a nerd, Bug?? lol

477

I was a big time nerd! Also, was a bit of a PC gaming elitist, lol.

Time to go smash some quads, delts, and arms. This is gonna feel goooood.

478

Boo! I guess I was a nerd, too. But I was like 9 or something.

479

I was a nerd till I was like 17… then I discovered alcohol… then at 18-19, weight training. Just a hint of nerd is left – enough to keep me well rounded. :wink: My dad owned a software company in the 80s and 90s.

Anyways, fun session was fun. Got it all done in about 90minutes. A couple big dudes, and a couple figure/bikini chicks… god those bodies are incred. Stayed focused tho. And you KNOW I stripped down to the beater once I was doin isolation work.
