willstrickland Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Bronco said: Will, I really hope you aren't neglecting your legs and hips. I just know you must be performing deadlifts and ass to grass squats on your "legs day". Grip and rip dude. PS: Reducing the volume (amount of sets) on your other lifts and throwing some bent rows in wouldn't hurt you either. That seems like an awful lot of volume to me (general rule is no more than 20 sets in a single workout), but, everyone's work capacity is different. Nah man, as I said that was an upper body day. The leg adduction/abduction works around the hips, I also do hanging leg raises for lower abs and hip flexors. I do some kind of leg power work ('cause I got small legs), not too many reg squats any more, usually on Smith rack, or leg press, also heavy calf raises. Stopped on the deadlifts because of injury potential and it's a pain to stack that much weight on the bar. Used to LOVE doing cleans from the floor though...at one point I was maxing at twice my bodyweight. Man, there's not much else to do up here except drink or workout. Once it dips past -20, even xc skiiing isn't appealing. I took a few years off from the weight room in college, and I've been pretty slack the last few years, but I've been moving iron since I was 15. My high school weight room would put many full-on gyms to shame. If you were an athlete in my school, you took weight training as a PE class every quarter. That much volume isn't a big deal for me during the 12 rep phase. When I go to 3 rep phase, I cut some exercises. I also take morning HR before getting out of bed and adjust my workouts accordingly. Can't stress enough to heed the signals your body gives you, HR for me is an extremely useful tool. Quote
skykilo Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 It's all about the double helix and the medula oblongata. And lotsa and . Quote
skykilo Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Dead lifts and squats rule!!!!!! I'm gonna go do some this afternoon. Just be careful and learn good form when you start, so as not to bust a gut. Stitches to the abdomen are aid. Quote
jon Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 I ride my bike 3 to 4 days a week for a total of about 9 hours, right now adding about an hour a week as the winter progresses. I lift legs twice a week, pretty heavy on Tuesdays for instance I was squating 300 last night, sled 600, and dead lift at 215. Lift legs on Friday but very very light. Do upper body on Wed and Thur but I do high reps because I'm trying to get leaner upstairs. I swim about 4 times a week about 30 minutes each workout. Doing a lot of stretching right now to increase my flexability. Quote

Soon you'll have RuMR shaking in his size 3 shoes.... Since my shoulder surgery, I've doubled my pull up count. I'm in training for the Pikes Peak Marathone. Basically run Mount Si & West Tiger III, plastic rock once or twice a week, Raquetball, weights twice a week. Weekends, catching freashies with Jdog or climbing ice. I also agree that after 30 the body takes longer to recover and results progress slower. But for some reason time seems to fly by so much faster..... Quote

I've always found deadlift to be a stronger lift than squats, as has every workout partner I've had. I'm sure it's probably just part of your training strategy, but I like to hear about different workouts. Once upon a time after a back injury I got back into deadlifts by doing sets of 20 and increasing the weight every week. I love that fall down and watch the stars feeling after a good set of deadlifts. That's some kinda high. Quote
Bronco Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Will: My hat's off to anyone tough enough to clean 2x their body weight. That's awesome. Skykilo: It could happen. Jon: 215 on the deadlift is pretty good, for a girl. Quote
scott_harpell Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 any y'all into power cleans? i dont do em anymore cause of the increased risk of injury, but if you wanna get dynamically strong legs, that is the way to go. Quote
fern Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 I lifted 7000lbs in lat pulls yesterday and drank 3 beers, but I had a chocolate bar instead of ice cream ... diet ya know Quote

jon Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 It's cool. That was my last set at 5 reps each. My squat max is about 400 and I don't know about the DL. I personally don't like dead lifts that much and so I don't push it too hard on those, it's hard on my back. I always thought you could squat more then deadlift, but maybe I'm wrong. Quote

Bronco Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 That's the spirit Jon! I haven't done a max squat in a long time. It chafes my pussy. (in other words, less than 400). Quote
Peter_Puget Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 I want to be an explosvie Taj Mahal but honestly I am more like a run down Denny's. Quote

I don't do a one rep max, I have an equation that gives me an estimate. Were you fucking joking, 215 is fucking hard??? I saw this scrawney looking guy at the Pro Club once deadlifting like 350 or something and I couldn't even watch it was so ugly looking, this guys spine was doing things I didn't believe was imaginable.

Bronco Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 You should be able to DL close to what you squat, unless you aren't squatting to parallel (which I doubt is the case). Short legged guys like me have an advantage in the DL so if you have long legs, it might be tougher. I'd imagine you could make quick progress on your DL if you focus on it, based on your squat. Peter, please do some deadlifts, right away. Quote
mtn_mouse Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Moderators. Please remove this from spray. I just read through the whole thread looking for the punch line, and there is none. Quote

Ursa_Eagle Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 My fitness routine is as follows: In winter: I do something active on Saturday and Sunday, go hiking Tuesday evenings for 3 hours, and sometimes hike on Thursday. I try to pull on plastic once a week. In summer: 3-day climbing trips are the norm, then I also hike on Tuesday nights and usually hike or climb at least one other evening during the week. Year-round: I take the stairs whenever possible, and take long-cuts when walking. I'm young and use that to my advantage. Quote
