What are you or what did you train today?

[Repacked]

Glues/Hams, Delts. Low cals starting to take their toll with the deads...

 

[BrisVegasGhost]

Yeah mate coming along. No real upper body work for a while so just starting to smash the legs.
Worked my way up 120kg for 10 reps then the final 2 sets 60kg x 20 reps. Certainly had my heart pumping!!

 

[Davepuppies]

yeah early days of keto, you'll have no glycogen. hopefully it will improve once adapted. Good luck mate!

Yeah I am quite flat, and no pump is a small price to pay.

sleep marginally better already.

 

[Davepuppies]

Do you ever get a pump from EZ Bar, Dave?

I tend not to use the EZ bar, as I struggle to "feel" the contractions.

my workout is flat barbell on preacher bench, with full stretch, and as much contraction as possible, then 45 degree dumbell curls, again with full stretch, then contraction with dumbells behind body/ bench.

i usually finish with hammer curls.

Try Spider Curls. .Garaunteed pumps.

i find the flat bar helps get that bicep really visible, but the ez is easy on the elbows. i think both positions are important.

just turning the wrist to that flat bar position makes the bi ball-up, even without curling. (i too do full range of motion, no cheating for the sake of weight).

weight on the bar satisfy's the ego.

doing it properly builds muscle.

But it also makes you stronger.

Yeah, I found the same, EZ bar lower reps higher weight, straight bar for pump, finish with DBs, good pump.

Agreed.

i rarely go heavier than the 25kg flat bar.

early morning sat training. chest, tri's and 1 bi movement

 

[gerry.]

optimistically tried to do more pressing.
tricep close grip paused 2 count-up to 100x3 , 105x3 , weak so dropped the pauses and did 100x4x3.
then went to ezi-bar skullcrushers 50x8x3.i had nothing left..tried to dip..no show..pretty pathetic.. so went outside and tied a band around the squat rack and did about 300 band pressdowns each arm. will do biceps later when im feeling better.

 

[C_T]

50kg scull crushers? for 8 reps? am i reading this right [MENTION=17650]gerry.[/MENTION] ;

 

[Timeah]

That doesnt seem unreasonable to me tbh.

Why even use weight then.

 

[C_T]

Why even use weight then.

[Timeah]

More squats to happen today. With as much weight as possible.

 

[Grunta]
