Good deal Dokk!

I took a few days off from the gym as well. I had lifted for well over a week without a break, and had 3 hockey games in the last 4 nights (including tonight), so I gave myself a little break. Hope to be back in the gym manana. :-)

I work out regularly, but I'm no beefcake. Just trying to stay in shape. That said, probably my biggest accomplishment to date is going from 2 (yes, 2, stop laughing) pullups to my target of 30. Can thank Gerry for the incentive :-)

Just getting back: back day

Pullups
3 sets of 10 with 45lbs strapped on
4 sets of 5 with 55lbs strapped on
3 sets of 5 with 65lbs strapped on
7 sets of 5 with 75lbs strapped on

thats all...

right now im all about the pullups... :-)

did you see the new smiley? colon+ze, just for you... :-)

Can you guys give me some exercises to do to get your legs in basketball playing shape? This is for my son who plays HS ball.

Last year he would get fatigued at the end of both halves, effecting both his shot, and defense. Right now he's running in open gym practices, and lifting weights with the team, but what I'm looking for is a 20 min. routine I can help him with at home. No weights, but things like jump rope, duck walk, etc. Any ideas? Thanks!

find a hill with about a 10-12% grade measure out about 40 yards and sprint up them and lots of plyometrics...

You're a monster, Davenport. :-)

Great workout Dave!

Hope you feel better, Dokk!

I need to get motivated, been hockey and not much else the past 5-6 days or so.

Tom since your "in" season do you just lift for maintenance....Beach muscles? Curls for the girls, or do you still hit it hard?

Thanks Bro! I still wish I could do 45 pull ups!:-)

I thought I was doing well with 12 Minutes on the airdyno bike after work this afternoon, I did lift 1875 pounds of drywall with a forklift using only one finger and a forklift at work. Having 2 replacement Hips I was still glad to get something in and today is my hope is to continue on my quest to loose a few and get in better shape.:-)

1 set of greasy fish and chips
3 sets of donuts

Need I say more?:-)

Why do you hate me?

The Admiral ALWAYS hits it hard. :-)

hope you get it better Dokk.
:-)

Thanks, Perry. There's just something in my rear rib region that keeps popping out. The funny thing is that I can pop it back in ... but then it pops back out again. A chiro can fix that up good. All that said...

Interesting thing is that I was suprisingly more limber/explosive this AM while my partner was lathargic. I guess I responded better to having my CNS stimulated the day before.

I don't change much except back off the squats if it is a game day, Dave. Maintenance is for baseball players....and swimmers. :-) :-)
