I feel like I'm still trying to catch up on eating this past week, which is weird because I'm usually fine after my eating when sick. Feel OK except I feel like I'm nearly starving all day.
I'm lucky that I work from home and he's home after school or summer camp stuff, so he's always with me and we spend time together one way or another a few years ago I traveled 4 days out of the week so I missed a lot of that.good on ya for getting back at it. it's tough to hit the gym when your body is screaming "no" in a very loud and annoying child's voice. you never know when to push through or when to cave to the couch instead. and really good on ya for skating around with your kid. you don't get many second chances to spend time with your kids -- and i've never heard anyone on their deathbed say, "gee, i wish i hadn't spent so much time with my kids" -- and i've been around LOTS of dying

I forgot how much work you pile up in a short period of time, I have never really done much body building kind of stuff so I find it amazing how you pile the volume it on. Myself I tried an simple upper body circuit last week one day and I liked it, for days after I was sore in a good way. Still have not found a bicep movement that sticks yet. I might try two different bicep movements in the same circuit later in the week.
So you are playing summer hockey? This past year was supposed to be my last...but the pandemic changed all that. I am not sure If I am going to play this winter unless things are pretty much back to 0 around here...completely back to normal come September...but I cant see it. What are the restrictions like? here you have to don your gear at home and show up only 5-10 minutes before hitting the ice, you are only allowed a couple of subs on the bench. Takes all the fun out of it.
Anyway take care, my adivce to you is to give up cooking to avoid future illness!!Please record my time/reps if I pass out

It's not easy to just jump into it and get all the volume in, but as with anything you can certainly ramp your way up to great intensity & volume together. Just like I probably can't run a mile if my life depended on it right now, but if I chipped away at reaching that goal I'd be back to a ~6 minute mile eventually. It's all mental
For biceps you'll notice I like Guillotine Curls. If you haven't got a cable/pulley setup you can replace it with some sort of Spider Curl which is basically a different-angle concentration curl. The extra squeezes are great. For straight-forward moves, Hammer Curls w/peak holds are great and you'll see I like to do ascending sets all in 1 and then superset them with something else more isolated. Drag Curls are good too but lately I'm so tired by the time I hit biceps I can't do them like I used to. Funny that. Seated incline DB curls is another good one to provide a good stretch, contraction, and pump. Oh, a surprise killer is a finisher set w/an empty barbell (or lightly-weighted EZ bar if you need) and do 25-50 reps. Whatever is a bunch of reps beyond agonizing
When hockey came back here, the rinks varied in their rules. My rink required masks at all times while on premises regardless of vaccination, could only arrive ~15min. before gametime, no hanging out, no visitors, etc. Then as the vaccines got around, statewide regs were lifted and they now allow visitors, no masks for the vaccinated, and things are basically back to normal. As it happens we had flood damage there so our short summer season has been lost. It was only going to be 6 games long (our seasons are 10-12 games at most anyway so they can do 4 per year) so they just scrapped it. We'll be back for Fall. I need to do some sort of cardio in the meantime before my conditioning dies!
I swear my wife and I have the worst luck w/food poisoning/bad food! For ease and to help with doing a million things throughout the day, I stick with a sous vide to cook my meats. Perfect temps every time. I can only assume the chicken turned bad before I cooked it (I couldn't tell though), or that wasn't the culprit after all. No clue.
Always nice to see ya around!!Lifting. Hockey. Headbanging.

Need to focus on triceps, I've lost some serious size and I can't entirely fault my fat/weight loss. Sucks that I changes so much in the past year so I can't nail down what lent to this. I feel pretty good everywhere except arms, but overall I think my biceps are still good and it's my triceps that have suffered the most.
Going to move to traditional volume for a couple weeks to get fresh... Hopefully.

Im not laughing at the fact that you can do probably 230 at least once! I am sure it would come back very quickly!
155 x 12!!!! There is a test!! I usually walk away after 3-4 reps of a front squat. I can just feel those reps causing me to start to fold up inward. Your quads must have been burning.
I read your post on the supersets. I like the idea of a finisher with the barbell for as many reps as I can tolerate...I watched a video of Arnold saying that you have to shock the muscle...go to failure.
As always good solid efforts in here.
Catch you later!!Please record my time/reps if I pass out

Thanks for stopping in! Regular @parallel squats always burn me out more than the full-range that I'm used to. I prefer lower rep squats but I feel my quads respond much better to higher-rep work, so I have to get it in somehow.
For bench, I could probably nail 250 if not more right now I bet. I was always a better numbers bencher as opposed to stamina bencher, which was funny when I used to work out closer to my maxes and with a full gym of acquaintances. Seeing them rep 225x10 or 12 like it was nothing while I could barely do 8, yet I could bench over 300 and they couldn't. Goes to show ya, it's all in familiarity. That's why I don't really care when I'm weak, because there's a reason. Last time I benched I topped out at 295 after 3-4 weeks of getting back into it after 2-3 years of never doing anything low rep or strength-focused. I think my first attempt was 250-265, then I added 10-15 a week and got up to 295 pretty quickly. If I ever hit the point where I don't care about staying lean and just want sheer mass and strength again, I'll work that stuff in again and see if I can get back to 325 like I was that 2-3 years ago. I think I had a 4-month ramp-up to get to that point, which was great because I hadn't done max work in nearly a decade and was incredibly weak on it.Lifting. Hockey. Headbanging.

I feel less flexible than I used to be with these. Used to bump the floor with each rep, now I feel I can't. Probably since I haven't really done these for years, or my shoulder issues, or both. Felt good doing what I did, though.

My back and delts are incredibly sore from this week's workouts. The 1x/week frequency is enjoyable right now, and I'm improving on dialing up intensity on top of volume. My legs are killing me right now and if that's any indication this leg workout will prove to be a great one as well.
A quick something for triceps tomorrow along w/some stuff for abs in between, and maybe biceps since they feel like they weren't even worked this week. That's pretty funny considering how sore my back is, but goes to show how greatly focused Gironda movements can be.Last edited by StinnerOzz; 08-05-2021 at 06:53 PM.

Thanks bud! I've got my eyes on learn to skate/play sessions so hopefully he'll get at it soon. He can move right along, but I'm feeling like a LTS program (or combo that focuses plenty on both) will be the best bet for basics and mechanics since he won't listen to me how to "really skate".

Try coaching for a couple of years if he ends up playing, I coached my son for two years. Except for a couple of the parents it was a lot of fun.
My two boys did not take any lessons initially when they put on skates...off they went. The one that played hockey went to a OHL kids day camp for a week in the summer (7 years old) with the local junior team. several of the star players were camp leaders, PK Subban was one of them, my boy did that for two summers . I actually signed up for the Adult fantasy camp the same team put on, it was a blast, learned a lot of good tactical stuff and puck management skills that stays with me to this day. My defence partner was one of the players that went on to play professionally for years, only played a few games in the NHL
Thats just incredibly strong....do you get some pretty good bar speed doing these, and do you make good contant with your hip crease? Either way thats damn impressive
Have a great weekend!Please record my time/reps if I pass out

I was the same way, thanks to being good on roller skates/blades. First time ever on ice skates? I just flew! I know he'd benefit from actual skating coaching, he does great when he allows himself to listen. I assume most boys are like that. It's tough getting him to listen to me sometimes. I'd like to coach but I don't know if my patience is anywhere near where it needs to be. I'm so awful. I'd also get driven nuts if my fellow staff wasn't on board with teaching at what I felt was a proper clip. When he plays baseball and soccer half the time I have to ignore it because I can't believe they're not showing them this or that - and they end up having no clue about certain things - lol.

Had to skip lifting in the afternoon and didn’t have enough time in the evening to do my intended lower workout. So, a quick follow-up to back + high pulls, abs tacked on, and that’s that. Hope to do lower tomorrow, if not then Thursday for sure and I just won't hit them twice this week.
