Bando: Daily Diary of a Swollen Oldie

[michvolley]

1/2 hr cardio kept getting put off yesterday till I could finally get to it at 6:30 pm, bad idea as I couldn't sleep all night - even with melatonin

I hear this, any cardio later than noon screws with me at bedtime!

[Meatpants]

Damm nice job Adam. Just walked straight up and, BOOM.

Congrats.

See my sig. In some thread this guy was saying how you shouldn't spend time crouched with the bar, said "it's like a spring, you get down - you get up" worked wonders for me. I think it was deleted for the taunts, but I love the grip and rip.

so not so much of a fun date then




great job with the pb's bando
how do you like running a journal so far?

[BergMuscle]

Adam, good to see the PBs (and LOL at "peanut butters" ).

[Whatanejit]

Peanut Butter FTW!


Interesting thoughts on the grip and rip. At the moment I have been taking my time only because I am thinking about form.. maybe over thinking it. I'm not psyching myself up or anything.

Hope the DOMS feel good

When I'm in the gym I like knowing someone else will be reviewing my work, makes me train harder. Feel bad trying to keep up with everyone else's though, there's a lot.

This^^ is why I need a split. I miss days dedicated to arms.

[Whatanejit]

Well done on the PB Adam!

Enjoy your weekend

[Bando]

I actually thought about this and there is no way I'm filming curls in the gym, if you're srs I'll film them in the basement.

Well done on the PB Adam!

Enjoy your weekend

Thanks she-brah

I'm off to the gym for clean up day, traps and rc work. About as exciting as a box of air.

[fitmom43]

Fantastic Arm Day!!!!! I have to agree with the others need Vid of BH Curl

[-=FLEX=-]

Good work on the pipes yesterday.

ZOMG!!

That looks hard as hell!


Great vid!

I think that is the same pullup bar as mine - they are great aren't they?

My kids love it, one of these days they're liable to break their necks!

[KrohDaddi]

yep
that's the way
bending at the hip is useless
gotta curl up like a lobster tail
doubt i'll be doing foot to toe anytime soon
suppose knees bent at 90 to reduce weight on the lever is worthwhile?

[BergMuscle]

Nice arm work. I haven't done hammers in a while (much less hammer preachers).
How do you like doing CGBP last? I'm thinking my triceps would be wiped out by then.
