NuclearArms and Fitnessman's Ohio Rules Thread

[fitnessman]

Happy 2007!

Had a great Work Out to start the new year.

Flat BP: Three sets 405 @ 4 reps with slight pause at bottom. One set 315 x's 15. These were fast reps.

Decline fly: 3 sets with 100lb db's 10 reps, 8 reps.......4 reps

Pec dec: 4 sets

Swiss Ball skulls 4 sets

One arm Cable ext 3 sets.

Strength is coming along well with the BW increase.

[papi93]

Do you have your upper arms parallel with the ground when doing the pec deck? I set my seat a little higher because it tends to irritate my shoulder when my upper arms are parallel. The higher seat placement lowers my upper arms (the distal ends) and makes the exercise pain-free.

Nice workout and have to switch my subscriptions.

On the weighted hangs, are you going for strength or hypertrophy?

decline flys with 100 lbs DB's ?
WTF...........you are not human !

[dbx]

Nice workout, Fitty.

I wish both of you guys the best in 07'.

The gym has this really crappy Cybex Pec Dec. I really only use it from time to time when I have really spent the pecs. It serves a purpose for a pump out and that's with the stack. So I never really even notice the arm placement..I would say parallel though.

On the hangs: Both! Manys folks pull up issues would go away if they started doing these.


Thanks Pete...Notice how I still have to throw that sissy Swiss Ball in there though :D

*subscribed* :)

Looking forward to following your road to a 550 bench ;)

[NuclearArms]

Better chime in on the first page, can never tell when this thread will expand.

Hit the bike this morning for a bit of cardio and will lift later tonight after work. Good to see the new year is treating your elbow a lot better Fitty.

[jwdjrs]

decline flys with 100 lbs DB's ?
WTF...........you are not human !I was thinking the same thing. 315 x 15, After 3 sets of 405 Damn !! Best wishes

[GREENFEATHER]

405 for 4, FFS, I'll never catch up now. I did do 120's on flat, 105 on decline and 95's on the incline. I'm still looking for the bastard that keeps coming in my house after chest day and beating me. When they're caught, STRAIGHT TO THE RUSSIAN FRONT!! The youngin's won't get that one fitty, lol!! :D I think this volume and higher reps is agreeing with me, thanks again bro.

[kethnaab]

i gotta ask...why the pec dec and skulls on the swissball?

WICKED job on the presses though, nice job! :)

DAMN! We need to set a trap, he kicks my ass too!

[fitnessman]

Rob, glad you are liking the volume.

keth, the pec dec I just use as a finisher now and then. Most often after killing pecs with heavy weight.

The Swiss Ball Skulls are just flat out awesome for killing the long head.

Did legs todays. Rack pulls and BB lunges 10 sets each. Threw in some calves.

[montanamike]

Nice Leg Day Fitty !
Happy Humper !

Fitty, I want to see five-fitty on the bench this year ;)

[Hibiscus09]

Glad I chimed in while the thread is still on page one. :p I didn't even notice a new one had been started. :p

Happy New Year to both of you!!

Here's to heavy lifting in 2007! :)

[joed]

Whoa, hope I can get in 'under the wire'. Happy '07 fellas.

[NuclearArms]

Great workout tonight. Back, biceps and legs. Started with back and did three working sets of DB rows, 150 x 18, 11, and 7. Breathing like a locomotive going uphill after those. Followed with some lat pulldown holding the contraction at the bottom, 270x8 and 230x12.
Moved on to biceps and straight curls, finished with a drop set from 135x7 to 95x5. Couple of sets of hammer curls and on to legs. Hacks 480x4 and 360x13. Finished with a couple drop sets on seated ham curls. I was soaked, tired and had to stop at the middle landing on my way up the stairs. Great way to start the year.

[montanamike]

I see the boys started a new thread.
Nice workouts so far Mark and Mark.
Remember, saturday afternoon the Guiness is on Fitty. :)

[fitnessman]

Awesome WO there Nuclear.

Didn't WO yesterday due to work related issues, so had to get a whole bunch of stuff in today.

Back, Biceps, Traps, Shoulders.

I did: Pulldowns, WG pull ups, Seated DB presses (did 21 reps with the 100lb db's) Standing heavy EZ curls (almost most at 225) and threw in some spiders..Pause at top shurgs.

Very effective WO :)

[aqua-beowulf]

Awesome workouts you guys are turning in. I just noticed your bodyweight is up to 263lbs.?! :eek: That's freakin' massive at 5'9".

Come on people, it only takes two votes to get a rating, and I rated this 5 stars the first day :mad: :D

How deep you go on the seated db shoulder presses? Full ROM or just until the upper arms are parallel? Impressive reps either way!

I really wish my gym had heavier DB's...Seated BB presses don't agree with me.

[papi93]

I use a full ROM, as well. Damn that is impressive strength-endurance. My gym only goes to 100's and that can be very frustrating for shrugs, chest pressing, rowing, etc.

[kimsquit]

Goof stuff Nuc & Fitty!

Fitty, you could post the pic of him at 8% and then one in the pink thong for comparison. LOL

Have a great weekend guys !

Bringing up the thong already.

Cardio day for me, nothing special. My Arnold plans may have taken a hit today as my schedule got rearranged at work. I'll know for sure later this month of my true requirements.

Technically you don't have to be physically sick....sick of work for that day works too. :)

Last year I made a major customer, Pilgrims Pride wait another week for a line installation that they were spending almost 5 million dollars on... because I was just NOT AVAILABLE that weekend and it was my project.

Grow some ball NUC, tell the bastards you have guiness to drink and people to see. LOL

Who else is going to drink all those Guiness with Fitty then.
The Man can't drink guiness alone. He might go into toxic shock or some ****.

Defintelly sucks. The NRC provides licensing only once a year at a facility, and it looks like it will end on the 4th of March this year.

My brother is a big Walleye fisherman. My family grew up on Lake Poygan (Wisconsin). Sometime during the spring is when he catches the most. Usually, off of one of the reed beds. Unfortunately, the reed beds seem to be decreasing on the lake. I used to do some Walleye fishing with my dad and brother in high school. I remember when my brother caught his biggest Walleye. He has it mounted on the wall in his home. Good luck fishin'!

[NuclearArms]

Good one there Greenie.

Great workout this afternoon. Went back and did a DC style workout and after a month doing another regime, strength improved. So I'm pretty happy with that.

Back to the football games now.

Good workout today. Went back to the DC style for legs and hit them mighty hard. First major exercise was hacks. Work set was with 490, needed to get some reps versus a single or 2 wth 500. Still heavier than when I left off damn near 2 months ago. Calf work really sucked because I haven't done enough work for them lately. Finished with some good leg curls. Thinking I'll be hurting the next few days.

Nothing big planned for weekend here. Heading up to camp after work for a couple days of alone time.

Had another great WO. Shoulders and traps.

Seated BB presses, Rear DB flies, BB shrugs, BB holds, cable upright rows, threw in some Standing 1 arm DB exts for laughs.

Weight 267.5 :D 71/2 lbs to go :D

JWD...Yes I am looking to hit 275lbs :)

S/T....I have been rotating 2 weeks heavy, two weeks rep work. I am still not where I was pre ladder fall :( But things are moving in the right direction.

Nuc...Be at Skeeter lake all weekend :)

Pete...I think would all kill to have that bod!!

[NuclearArms]

Can never tell who reads this or wants to see Cutler.

Good workout today. Back and biceps. Hit the T-bar for the first time in months. Felt good after some time away from it. Also did some good mornings for the first time in ages. They always feel good but you never see anyone doing them anymore.

+ you get some strange stares in the gym (in regards to good mornings). You can almost hear them whispering "He is going to hurt his back doing that". In the meantime, they put on their weight belt, weight gloves, straps, etc. and get ready to do "hang" curls in the other power rack.

Once you hit the 275 will you cut or just maintain and keep on upping the Iron?

No rap in this house. Got Spinal Tap playin on the puter as I type. Working on a Sex Farm........

Just going through the mail this morning. No weights for today but a little cardio later. Will be working on the honey-do list shortly and then bowling this afternoon and my wife's year-end party to top things off. Always good to go places with free protien. Catch y'all tomorrow.

Nice thread there Forge, I'll post a few things on that soon.

Had a decent leg day this afternooon. Figured I forgo the first half of the SD-NE game and just watch the last quarter. Worked seat ham, standing calf and squats. All the sets were good one. Tried a 20 repper on squats and damn near died at 13. Hadn't done those in a while and had to regroup. Threw in a stop/pause set to finish things off and make my trip up the stairs and adventure. Chest tomorrow.

[NuclearArms]

Mighty crowded in the gym today. Think we got the full blast of resolutionaires in this afternoon.

So today was chest/delt day and I used the "new' equipment. Started with an incline press machine that has variable weight positions for different resistance through the ROM. I like the way it felt and will use the machine again. Went on to the new pec dec and didn't care for it. Finished with a new seated press machine. I'll probably use it again but only sparingly.

Moved on to delts and did some cable laterals that I haven't done in a few months. I'll keep these in the rotation for a while. Finaished with triceps and did the seated, close grip, behind the head presses, something like the Titania movement, (I think). Hit the tris pretty effectively IMO. I'll keep this in the rotation as well. Bit of ab work and I was on my way home.

Oh..........Fitty,

Chest and Triceps today..Back to rep work.

Flat BP, Decline flies, cable crossover, seated incline BB Tricep presses, 1 arm DB exts. All kept in the 10-12 rep range.

After all that threw in a widow maker in the flat bp 225 x's 20 reps...That was hard after all that work.

You and my brother would get along very well, I think. Walleyes have a unique feel, when you reel (spelling) them in. It almost feels like you are stuck on lake weeds when you reel them in. Not like a white bass. Those little suckers fight like crazy.

Cool set-up Fitnessman!

Had a good midday workout. Back and biceps. Continuing to ring inthe change for the new year, started off with one arm low cable rows. 160x10, 6. moved over to DB rows 150 X 12, 10. Pulldown with 330 and finished with some weighted hangs. Biceps was the curl machine and alt DB curls. Went home and had a protein shake.

Ya'll have no idea how bad I wanted to slap 600 on bar and start reppin :eek:

I switched back to the power rack at the gym..I think the problem was that other goofy squat rack. My traps kept getting in the way when I used that one and just wasn't feeling right.

So back to the power rack and what a difference! I mean I haven't squatted in a few weeks, so I am pleased! :D

Nuclear, how you liking the weighted hangs?

Your squat days sound like my dead days. Warm up at 225, then 3 reps at 315, 3 @405, 2@495, 2@585, 2@675. 2@725 and I'm done. I'd love to do 15 reps at 600, but I don't think my concrete slab would take it, even with the 4 layers of conveyor belting I have on it.

How did you get issues with the C3/C4 vertebrae?

I'm betting it's because his shirt collars are too tight ;)

His C3/C4 vertebrae are angry with him because he erased his neck so they really have no purpose in life anymore. :p

LOL, yeah, POP's in the neck are no good

[NuclearArms]

No disks popping here. Worked back and have to say it was a good one. Started with the T-bar for sets with 245, underhand hand pulldowns with 220, and good mornings with 195. Onward to biceps with 120 on the ez-bar and reverse DB curls. Set of statics on the curl machine and I was done.

I have slight problem with that too. You can look at my profile pic for evidence.

I would imagine db shoulder pressing or machine shoulder pressing is easier because the neck can stay in a neutral position more easily. The seated shoulder press would have some extension and the behind-the-neck press would have some flexion of the neck occuring.

Bella still in hospital. No real signs of her snapping out of it yet. The three massive seizures took a heavy toll Friday.

What?! Who?! Is someone in your family ill, bro? I've reread the posts since Friday, and I didn't see it mentioned. Hate to hear that something may be wrong... best of luck to you and your's.

Sorry, I just kind of skimmed through the "Brokeback" pics :o

I really hate to hear that man. :( My daughter became Type 1 diabetic at age four... it was very hard on us (and still is), but I know it could always be worse. Luckily, with a lot of effort, our daughter's condition is somewhat controllable.

My heart goes out to you and your's in this time. My family will keep her in our prayers.

[NuclearArms]

Back home, tired and dirty, but had a lot of fun.
Fitty, take care of your women.

I was a county North of your normal camp, in 'Bula county. Scouting.

I'll say a few words to the man upstairs as well, it was good to talk with you the other day bro.

Nuclear...That had to be fun in the snow belt...Didn't know you were into the scouts. I am going to get Dominic into the Royal Rangers..Same thing but faith based. I just need the time to get involved.

Looks like I am down for a few days. Bell won't be home anytime soon it seems, so I am Mr. Mom for the week.

Really don't know how to attack things from here...We will muttle through...Work wasn't pleased when I called. A little surprised with that seeing how I have over 1,000 hours vacation and 1200 sick hours :( I could miss a year (2080 hours) and not lose a pay. Shows what dedication gets you: What do you mean you might be off a couple weeks?

Bastards.

[GREENFEATHER]

I'll try to call you tomorrow sometime, probably around 1300 hours since I'm going to be on the phone most of the day as will M.

WTF?!

Sounds like poor management employee relations. They are your hours and you are entitled to take them. It just shows that the management is low callibre or at least the person you spoke with. Take the time off if you need it bro with no guilt, shame or doubts. I have a strong work ethic too and hesitated to take time off when I was sick and needed it. You gotta look after yourself. They won't do that for you.

I am so sorry to hear about Bella's latest issues.
Mark you and the family are in my prayers.
Take care !

With the issues in the background, I'll keep things positive today. Had a great workout today.

Worked legs and it was short, sweet and complete. Started with seated ham curls doing the whole rack. Followed with standing calf raises and felt good bringing them back up after slacking off for a bit on the other program. Finished up in the squat rack. Went with a work set at 450, some walkouts with 540 and paused set with 300. Some stretches afterward and I was toast.

Relaxed night planned watching Heroes and thinking bout Bella.

[fitnessman]

All: Thank you for the well wishes :)

Stayed home today, was going to hit gym this morning but after getting the kids on the bus just had a case of the blues.

Well, enough of that..Time to draw upon my inner Airborne self and go train in the morning. I have gained to much to sit around the house and sulk until the kids get off the bus.

For all the PM's and phone calls (you know who you are):

THANKS !!!!!!!!

I started a loose draft of a article for the main site today:

Training under severe family stress....I think it's going to be good...I haven't wrote for the site in ages.

Something else about the caming trip, it gave the wife time to clean-out the closet. She got rid of everthing I had that was labeled large and half the stuff that was XL. I wont even mention pants. Lot of stuff was collecting dust and most all of the clothes are collecting dust. Funny how our shapes change over the years.

[GREENFEATHER]

It's a good thing you trained this morning, I really didn't want to drive all the way to Ohio. There would be MASSIVE CARNAGE on the way, lol!! :D With the vertigo, just going 8 miles was bad yeaterday. :eek:

I'm with ya nuc, if my back gets any bigger over the next year or so, I'll be back in a 3XL! :mad:
