TTT V: Scarring America's youth, one PIITB sesh at a time.

[engj]

Thought I did some major damage to my elbow Sunday. I was at the grocery store and pushing the cart out the exit. Dik in front of me decided to stop in the exit and mess with something. I swerved around him on the edge of the path. The joint in the concrete was about 2" elevated and stopped my cart dead. I launched forward and hit my (Surgery) abs on the handle. It jarred my stapled elbow so hard I collapsed, rolling on the ground. Completely took my breath away and I had tears. People just kept walking by (very Jersey of them). I eventually collected myself and went home. It hurt so phucking bad. Called the doc, he had confidence I didn't mess up his work. it's better, but pain/mobility took a day or two backwards.

I stubbed the hell out of my baby toe on the bed frame Sunday morning, thought I broke it. I didn't but it still hurt, so we all got problems.

Srs note no busted staples or stitches? That elbow looked gnarly.

Yeah, all seems ok. Just swelled up a bit and pain. Seems like pretty sturdy work.

I've been kinda all over the place with workouts the last 6 months trying some HIIT, machine circuits, body-weight stuff. Work travel has been messing up my routine and Ive been using work to get lazy, I have to shake things up.

Changed gyms to a larger one a block from my work. Hadn't squatted in a while, did some light warm up sets yesterday (bar only then 135 3x8) and my quads are fckuing screaming this morning.

Does anyone have a full-body routine they like? I'm thinking of just finding a simple hour routine for when i'm in town, then just body weight stuff and elliptical in hotels. Build on some consistency.

p90x worked for me
Overall, lost about 20lbs, endurance and cardio were up, explosive strength was down

I basically had a 17 yr old train me(150lbs), he added weights into it too, hard ass workout trying to keep up with him

531 has some good full body templates that are heavy and meant for a couple times a week.

OHP 531
deads 531
squat light
accessories

bench/incline 531
rows/lat pulldown
squat heavy 531
accessories


and build accessories around there. You could build a ton of strength on something that simple IMHO.

[gixxer0.6g]

I'm done with strength. Give me volume. Lots and lots of volume with drop sets galore.


Went shooting Sunday and bought a cell phone mount for my spotting scope. This was at 550 yards through the spotting scope. Pretty cool. You can see the vapor trail of the bullet

I'm kind of the same way. I want to keep my strength at a certain level (it's less than it was) but hit more drop/strip sets.

[GarthVader]

I'm also jumping on the volume train.

I generally get a warm up on super lightweight in, then do a solid BB type lift to start and work volume from there (do chest, legs, back, shoulders, repeat). i tend to work up to a 1-2 rep max on the BB lift, then do loads of volume on everything else.

For example, yesterday i did front/lateral/rear delt raises with 10 pounds. All 3 right after each other, 10 reps, 3 sets of it. Then basically no weight chest flies for 3 sets of 10. Then a cable row for the same. Then jumped on the incline bench and worked up to 205 which is my 1-2 rep max right now. After that, grabbed DBs and just did 10 rep sets from 35# up to 60 depending on what weight was available. I think i did 5-6 sets. Then went to about 4-5 sets on the cable push downs for Tri's 10-15 reps until i couldn't do that many. Then maxed out on flat DBs with 35 lbs, close grip (palms of hands facing each other). Did about 4 sets of max (10-20 reps) on that.

Body By 2vk

[engj]

Im looking for maximum effect for the hour I give myself, 2vk your routine seems like I need an hour for 25 sets on upper inner chest day.

What I was doing was 15 min warmup on the elliptical. Squats, Bench, Cable Row, OHP. Deads instead of squats every second time, and then accessories (tricep extensions, arm or leg curls, or calf raises) for what time I have left. 3x5 on squats/Deads, 3x10 on accessories, and somewhere in between for everything else. Not super organized.

Im going to check out 531, I just need some structure to what I do.

[jamalfudge]

I don't follow a program. But I squat, OHP twice a week, do body weight twice a week, and deadlift once a week. I'll do a kettlebell workout on Saturdays to burn off Friday's beer and thinking of working in KBs more often. Feel like I hit my natty limit with strength, anyway.

[gixxer0.6g]

It took me a while to get on board with a more fitted pants but now I'm officially part of the tapered sweat pants crew too now. Does that make me a millennial?

Nah, just a little ****gy.

Likely. I wear loose/baggy pants a size too big and it looks like I'm wearing skinny jeans tho.

I can't do pants that are tight around my junk or ankles. I will forever be outta style in my boot cut pants until they come back in style in 10 years or so.

I had the intestinal flu last week but the good news is that I am back to my preholiday weight from not eating for 72 hours and peeing out of butt 7 times a day

Check out Levis 541. Athletic fit stretch with a mild taper.

But, I just can't get on board with joggers.

I used to be the same when it came to sweatpants. If you ever get on board going back is impossible. My wife used to make fun of me for wearing nothing but jeans now she begs me to wear jeans in the winter because I wear sweatpants so much. Luckily we only have about 2 months of winter down here so I don't look like a British chav for long

[jamalfudge]

I've been wearing pants made out of gym short material around the house lately. Basically they're sweats with a different material. Best of both worlds IMO.

I just hate baggy chit. Most of my stuff is semi fitted.

I knock it out in an hour max.

[TXBuddy]

Gym session yesterday. Back/bis with staples lol. limited range of motion and I definitely got a message at a certain weight. Curls were half way up, because I can't bend more than that. Today is chest. So, a bunch of cable/pec deck flys.

Gotta find a way to keep moving.

and I did not wear tight pants.
