Pritch VS ...

[pastorpritch]

Bah!
hate when it happens. I'm tempted to buy some clothes from work but don't want to waste the money.

[fittofattofit]

Thanks man. One of the reasons I'm excited about the machines precisely because I get more of a balance. It was great to be on the leg press and do the hacks afterward ... an actual leg press and not the composite one. There is a seated leg curl machine that I'm looking forward to using and two other leg machines I've not seen before that I'm interested in seeing what they emphasize.

Ready for these legs to BLOW UP!

It's nice to have a full suite of machines .. my gym has no calf machines at all

Sprinted up my hill twice with the dog

Lots of volume for the arms and shoulders today Pritch ... strong DB shoulder pressing with the 70s and supersetting the EZ bar extensions with the bench dips would have smashed the tris for a great arm pump

[pastorpritch]

Thanks man. I am absolutely loving the new machines and the variety I get now
Tris were definitely pumped and were already sore from Monday's chest session

Good stuff

[kennknee]

I've forgotten things many times......shoes, shorts, shirt, etc In fact, I forgot my lunch today

The worst is when you forget your headphones and you have to listen to all the other stuff at the gym... uggh.

[pastorpritch]

Yeah man, and the new gym plays mostly crap. I like techno sometimes, but not the fluffy kind of like bad party jam music lol

[TheMatzah]

Pritch -


Thou did not tell me thee log started up again.

back in of couse!

[pastorpritch]

Sorry man! I thought to actually and then plum forgot. Glad you're back with me

[TheMatzah]

Sorry man! I thought to actually and then plum forgot. Glad you're back with me

It's OK, it happens.. I should've posted "Glad its active again!".

Pritch-Diesel

[pastorpritch]

Ha thanks "Monster Matz"


Ran only 2 hills today, this is half of it ...



... the other half keeps going up and wraps around into the woods a bit more. I mowed a few little paths so I can run around and back down or keep going to the other side and down around the rest of the property

[Raigs]

Man it looks like you a have a nice property. Hill sprints will really add nice variety to your leg

[qstick99]

The music they play at Gold's isn't that bad, at the Y is another story, stuff will put you to sleep!

[pastorpritch]

Yeah man it's been great

The music they play at Gold's isn't that bad, at the Y is another story, stuff will put you to sleep!

I hate when that stuff is on, most of the time when I go early there is some kind of big band stuff or Vegas show music


Did 3 hills today (.6mi) and sprinted up one side when I came to it. Hoping to get a back workout later ...

[pastorpritch]

Due to the gym being closed today I just did 3 "hills"; wasn't sweating until I came inside - then it was like a dam bursting lol. No A/C, just a fan. I had the dogs with me and they are troopers!!

I'll probably do three more later. I'm really hoping it rains. The sun suddenly came out and it felt like an oven + the humidity today. I came home early since I travelled over the weekend and am going to get some downtime in before another week. Hoping for some PRs and playing with new equipment this week

[pastorpritch]

Biked 6.59 miles in 32mins. Not too bad for my first time here at the new place

Saw two deer high-tail it across the road ... hoped no more were following to knock me off the bike! I was also hoping they'd stop so I could snap a photo but the fog was coming in and it was already too dark ... ah well maybe next time

Just beautiful looking countryside for a run ... it must be so nice after leaving the city Pritch!

[pastorpritch]

LOL
That gif is exactly what went through my head when I saw the two go bounding across

Yeah it was great save for the gnats getting in my eyes. I'll wear goggles or something next time lol. But it was great. I plan to go earlier in the day so I can see the tiny lake that is in a golf course. The road goes right around it and would be great for a ride

Gym tomorrow!!! Planning for Chest and Biceps

[TheMatzah]

damn that looks painful

morning all

[kennknee]

You got a "mountain" bike or a "road" bike?

[pastorpritch]

It was ... but in all the right places

It's a mountain bike with road tires

You've put an image in my mind that's going to haunt me all day

Good work with the incline BB and nice supersetting. Heavy volume on those donkey calf raises .. do you have a machine for that or how are you doing them?

[pastorpritch]

Right now we are just enjoying it and dreaming up some plans
We've thought about some things to do in terms of getting animals but not much else

never done weighted pushups but I have considered it

Still on that grind? how's the lifting been going buddy??

YEAH BUDDY!!
Now that I've got a gym it's going great. Only problem is that it is so far away so when I don't drive in to work I don't hit the gym ... but that's what cardio is for

LOL sorry brah

Thanks man! The donkey calf is a machine that looks almost exactly like this image on the left:


I love it, definitely my favorite exercise and my upper calves are very sore!

[MatTheCur]

Donkey calf raise machine for srs? Just when I thought I'd seen it all...

[pastorpritch]

Yeah man, it's awesome

[bmgamble]

We have both of those machines where I am. I've seen guys use the donkey calf machine as a leg press

Looks like you're really taking advantage of the new gym PP
