What exercise did you do today?

Went for a run Sunday night and finally started lifting again for the first time since I moved, basically took a month off. It doesn't seem like I lost any strength, but I did lose some stamina. I fatigue a lot faster on my last few sets. I've also got a lot of twinges and tweeks going on in my neck and back.

I got something for you to try ADS...When you do squats, place the safety bars at the position where you are at the bottom of your squat. When you squat, lower down till the bar rests on the safety bars and sit there for a 3 Mississippi and then go back up. You will have to drop some weight to do it but it will seriously kick your a$$. Essentially, you are starting from a squatted position and going from there. It is a rest method that will increase strength like no other.

 
Don't feel too bad today, a little sore, I'm doing Jim Stoppani's "6 weeks to sick arms" so it's designed to take you to over reaching which is close to over training and I'm at the peak of the program right now and it's going to start slowly backing down over the next few weeks. I started my workout yesterday a little too heavy and it took me awhile to recover from that mistake during the workout.

 
I did these things:

jumping jacks

Crunches

Leg raises

Bridges

Planks

Upright leg raises

Hip thrust

Incline chest press

Dumbbell chest press

Bench press

How long did this take you?
 
BIGREDIOWAN said:
About an hour and a half.

That's pretty damn impressive, I easily could have parlayed that into a 2 and a half hour ordeal. I used to do a thing every couple months where I'd do 10 or 12 lifts with 6-10 reps and 6 set each. That normally took me 2 hours

 
I was sweating pretty hard and gassed, but I didn't want it to take two hours. The weight wasn't bad, but the 25-30 reps made up for it along with super sets.

 
I did cables, some shoulder workouts, lat downs and of course legs, because everyday is leg day!

Tomorrow, bench (super sets). Trying to get 3 plates by end of summer, that is both decline and flat, and hope to get close to that on incline.

 
I'm on vacation for a few weeks and found an amazing gym. I wish I could bring it back to Lincoln with me. Although I've never been in a Lincoln gym. Any recommendations? I'm not taking classes this summer so I can't use the UNL rec center. Basically the only things I want in a gym that I don't have at home are: squat rack, assisted pullup/dip machine, lat pulldown.

Anyhow, just got done doing these things:

Back extensions

Lat pulldowns

Barbell rows

Dumbbell rows

Lunges

Step ups

Squats (can finally add weight on the bar next time)

Calf raises

Farmer's walk

Stair machine
