been going to the gym again - Page 2

PancakeBrah · 10-23-2013, 11:49 AM

I squat less than I bench because I haven't done squats regularly in six months. Did some last week, 215*7. Pretty pathetic, I know. Muscle memory should help me get back to where I was which was in the low 3s if I get back into it. My back prevents me from deadlifting nowadays. I've done mid 4s back when.

Rawn MD · 10-23-2013, 12:14 PM

I need to go back myself

I stopped bc i didn't have the time once I got my job bc of public transportation taking me an extra 6 hrs round trip and working nights left me with the decision between gym or sleep, and sleep was more essential obv

But now that I have a car it only takes me 45min each way (as opposed to 3 hrs, ) so now I have the time but since I stopped going and it's been about 3 or 4 months since the thought of being sore initially and lack of motivation are hindering me, although I REALLY do want to start going again esp since Iam still paying for mmembership

But when I was going I rarely did legs - I rmbr I squatted heavy one day and could not walk without some serious soreness in my thighs for like 4 to 5 days

And I did not ever squat again - only legs I did was calf raises in addition to cardiovascular (alternating running n cycling)

amg samesies

Split · 10-23-2013, 12:59 PM

today is rest day for running and lifting :(

Darth Yoda · 10-23-2013, 01:00 PM

165 bench 265 and i dont bench. cake is strong

Greed · 10-23-2013, 01:00 PM

All time bench max is 300.

This seemes like a good place to post this.

Diode · 10-23-2013, 01:04 PM

bench is currently stuck at 325 on wendler 1rm day.

deads are at 420 on wenlder 1rm day but i felt like i could have gotten 425-430 without too much trouble.

squats are at 385, though i've backed off due to groin trouble. last 1rm wendler day i did 350x3.

standing shoulder press is stuck at 175. the downsides of having had surgery a few years back :(

i have no idea what any of those would be if i just did a light warmup first instead of my warmups and 5/3/1 and then 1rm rep.

The DOMS eventually lessens as you continue to squat. I still got DOMS when I was squatting every week but usually for only a day. My squat workout last week, my first in weeks, gave me DOMS for 4 solid days. It was glorious.

Diode · 10-23-2013, 02:30 PM

i got rid of DOMS by making part of my routine 150 jump ropes before and 150 jump ropes after lifting each day.

PancakeBrah · 10-23-2013, 02:32 PM

does that srsly work?

veritas · 10-23-2013, 02:33 PM

PancakeBrah · 10-23-2013, 02:34 PM

worked for me. if they are fatigued all the time you stop noticing? lol - kidding.

but it did work for me from a conditioning standpoint.

Wise Wiggles · 10-23-2013, 02:44 PM

Of course conditioning works? lolsrs? Didn't think so

PancakeBrah · 10-23-2013, 02:46 PM

Obviously conditioning works. I thought jumping rope was some magical elixir to me not hating stairs.

I just like it better than cardio equipment. Plus it helps out with WGCs (White Guy Calves).

veritas · 10-23-2013, 03:04 PM
