…and I’m feeling it today.

4.25.09…how’s this for random?

Benching…Mid-incline 4x10@135 60 sec.rest
low-incline 2x10@135 (same)
flat 2x8 @135
mid-incline 5x2 @185 60 s.r.
Same incline 5x3@185…top half of rep range, off pins. Did a set, counted to 10, and repeat…

DB swings: 5x10@ 40…30sec. rest.

Decline pushups: 4x20 alt. with cable crunchs 4x8@82.5

one-arm clean/press: 4x10(each)@ 40’s…30sec. rest

High-incline press: 4x8@90 alt. with…
preacher curls: 4x8@ 90…I said it was random. The swings and clean/press were tough, but really fun in that kinda sickly way!

After my training friday, I got cleaned up and set up for my friends session.

This was by far the toughest workout she’s done with me, toughest ever she said. I wanted to get through it in 60 min…finished at 55! And with the extra rest towards the end? I’m thinking she’ll get it under 50 min. easy. Best part was, when we went over the work she’d done, she thought it had taken “about 1 1/2 hours?”.
In the gym for about 5 hours that night. Pretty cool, and besides, what the heck else do I have to do…

…I know what you could do. How about a workout for yourself! We know your flexable. Your heads been up your ass for awhile now…maybe you should try another type of training…

I don’t want to sound like a pusher, but…5/3/1.

Hey man…c’mere. Got some primo 5/3/1 for you, my man. Straight from the source in Ohio. Good sheet, man. None better. Not cut or nothin’. The straight stuff. Powerful.

Wow, Skid. Sounds like you’ve got some real experience there. I mean, how does a body know lingo like that?

Trust me, Z, if you want the goods on 5/3/1, it sounds like you can’t do any better than Skid as a source.

Me? heck no. mj’s the Man with the Plan. Z - get him to send you his spreadsheet. All you gotta do is go and lift according the numbers the sheet puts out. Can’t go wrong.

Agreed. You hardly even have to think about it, which is why it works so well for thinking-challenged folks like me.

Seriously, it’s great, and the structure will probably give you a lot of new insights.

OK, pushing over.

It’s so easy, even a drummer can do it!

:wink:

Just when I was starting to feel the T-Nation spirit, SteelyD drops the bomb on me.
That’s just mean man! And I don’t get youtube, god only knows what that link is
Perhaps a change would do me good, I haven’t been in a good groove for a few months now.
Who’s MJ ? I can’t remember who that is right now…
I’ve been thinking (gasp) about throwing some pics up on my profile. This would be a good time for a now/before shot, it is getting to be bikini season after all…

Throw 'em up then big guy. We have a rule against speedos though.

Pfftt. Steely knocks drummers here, but in another thread is praising Peart’s lyrics. He’s just messin’ with you, Z.

I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore!!!
Thanks Skid, I’d thought of him after my last post, just now getting back to work (the only computer I have).
Don’t worry about the speedo thing, besides, I’m pretty sure I said “bikini” season…WaterWorld here I come!

Had that sweet & sour pork flu bug this weekend. Maybe not. But I was sick for my two days off. Came into the gym to train my friend friday night, and ended sitting on a stool most of the time! Still got some work done, but I was spent after that.

Been in the Nation 1 year now! With all the ups and downs, I think I’ve broken even! Kinda pisses me off, but then again, there are times when ‘coasting’ has to be good enough. Not for the long-haul mind you, but it happens.

I’d like to get back to real training.
I NEED to start drumming again.
I want/need a T-Vixen in my life.
I’d be happy to have just one of the above!
“Get busy livin, or get busy die’in”
Dam right. Rock on…and I’ll keep the light on for ya…

First Snarky Post From The Coming Year Of Hatred:

Hey, Z, what is the last thing a drummer says before the band fires him?

Hey guys, I just wrote a song for us…

I’ll be here all week…

Z-Man knows we’re just kiddin. I mean, after all he’s Zildjianman. If his name was “PaisteMan” then all bets would be off… :wink:
