LWI: Lifting With Inky

Training Training Logs
741

DF, I’d say it worked well. Lockout was a motherfucker after 6-8 reps. I’d imagine using two bands would be damn near impossible with 185 for me, right now.

2B, wrong kind of Pantera, but I’d love to have one of those. Don’t see many of them around, it’s probably been 10 years since I’ve seen one on the road.

Snap, welcome! I have a meet August 6th, it’ll be my second meet and I’m looking to smash my first meet total by at least 100#s.

Yes, this log contains a wee bit of training, but having a place full of lulz is better than a place full of boring numbers with nobody posting in here, I’d say. Dixie, every freaking picture you have is hilarious!

Greg, LOL, nice one.

Herc, haha that first dude loses his mind! FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOU! haha

Built the frame of a table yesterday, gotta find some good wood (LOL) to use for the top. Pine isn’t going to cut it. Had a good Father’s day, wood working and what not with my girls. Even took Little Miss to Home Depot and let her ride on the cart with some lumber. She loved it, as I did when I was a kid. Of course everyone in the store was like “Aww she’s so cute helping daddy”, and I mean…she was :wink:

Traps are stupid sore from the Devils Complex the other day. Should be back to my regular scheduled lifting now. ME Lower Monday, here I come!

That pretty much sums it up. Maybe I’ll start another log just for training.

Great picture Charlie

Just poppin in to say Hi broder!

Get that sweet ass back in the gym already!

I will say, that devils complex does look killer. If I was a dude I’d totally do it, but you know how i feel about chicks with big traps…gulp Do. Not. Want.

It doesn’t look bad at all. That’s why it’s like, “Oh cool, I’ll just do 3 sets and be on my merry little way” and then the next day you wake up like FFFFUUUUUUUUU!!

You should at least try it. You’re not going to have ginormous traps blow up after 1 session. Well, maybe :slight_smile:

Mother of god! I tried Greg’s pullup/dip/pushup pyramid and I think I might have died for a minute. Took me 19:26 to finish it, in the back shop at work, in jeans and no AC, IN ARIZONA! Hey, I gotta add as much handicap as I can!

Comes to a total of 50 pullups, 50 dips, and 125 pushups. It sucks. I don’t recommend it!

Didn’t get to my lower body training last night, as “life” was the priority and I was too tired to go to the gym at 10pm. Hope to get to it tonight.

When I got on the pullup bar for the first set of 8, I was like “Fuck this retarded shit”

Then when I finished 10’s, I was like “Oh, that’s enough, isn’t it?!?!”

Then I thought “Let’s see if I can finish in under 20:00” and I did!

751

^^hahaha yeah I told you the 8,10,8 part is the worst… after that you’re like “I’m home free!!!”

752

Honestly, after I was done with the 6 I was like, “I got this” but before that I was a little unsure.

753

So greg or ink help me out here. Is that 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,9…1 reps for pullups then dips then pushups circuit style till finished? Just curious, sounds like a fun twisted challenge to do condioning type stuff.

Here’s how Greg explained it:

2 pull ups, 2 dips, 5 pushups
4 pull ups, 4 dips, 10 pushups
ect…

You go up by 2’s on the pull ups/dips and by 5’s on the pushups.

once you hit 10, 10, 25 you go back down

2,2,5
4,4,10
6,6,15
8,8,20
10,10,25
8,8,20
6,6,15
4,4,10
2,2,5

As many minisets as it takes to reach the desired number of reps is fine, as long as you hit the reps needed before advancing to the next exercise. It’s brutal, believe me! I’m sore as shit today in my chest, lats, and tris.

Just like Ink said, break it up into mini sets if you have to (you probably will unless you’re a beast) I was doing my pushups in 2’s and 3’s by the end of the second time through. It was brutal.

I was going to tell you that I woke up this morning and it felt like my arms were going to fall off. Shouldnt have done it twice lol. I’m gonna be crazy sore tomorrow.

756

ME Lower last night. It was a late one, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me.

Warmed up at home while the wife was running, 1 zercher squat with 135, to get the bar from my pins to where I could get a better setup on it. Surprisingly, my biceps didn’t explode off (lulz @ that rediculous thread). Then I did 5 sets of 5 @ 135 squats. Then stretched a bit and drove to the gym.

Reverse Band DL’s
225 x 5
315 x 3 x 2
365 x 1
405 x 1
445 x 1
475 x 0 *Fuck
475 x 1 *There we go

Switched to sumo, to see what I could do
405 x 1 Easy
455 x 1 Not very easy, but I’ll call it a PR
475 x 0 I pulled on that bitch for 3 seconds before it came off the ground, then made it above my knees and wouldn’t move. I felt like I popped every blood vessel in my head on that pull, 'twas awesomesauce

RDL’s
135 x 10
185 x 6 Lower back was fried already. Pretty sure my Pu/Di/Pu pyramid attempt earlier wore me out in general and sucked my work capacity into the dirt.

Seated calf raises
3 x 10

Leg Press calf raise
3 x 10

I was on the way down, doing the set of 15 pushups and was like “Shit, i got to 8 pretty easily. 9…10…stop. 11…stop. 12…13…14…stop. Doooown, stop. FUCK! UUUUP!!”

It’s a monster, you’ve come up with Greg. I think the upping by 2’s and 5’s is the key, rather than by 1’s or something. Nastyness.

Dude, if you do a zercher within 45.6 hours of training biceps, your arms implode. Trust me, I’m a doctor. :wink:

Noooooo don’t join the sumo dark side haha.
Nice sumo pulls though man!
