great workout Gabe...i feel occlusion training for the upper body by occluding the lower musculature, is a lot more practical and perhaps even more beneficial, due to the larger muscle mass.

[Venom]

I completely agree. You will get a greater Gh response naturally for larger muscle groups with compound movements. You simply cannot match that with curls. So this comb is awesome. U the man!!

[Venom]

Thighs hypertrophy

3 sets feet elevated squats 285 3 *10 - took a long time to warm up on this. I actually felt my best on my third set
4 sets lying hamstring curls stretch between sets
4 sets leg extensions stretch between sets
3 sets stiff dumbbell deadls - 100s 3 *10 w/ donkey calve raise machine
3 sets barbell lunges 135 w/ seated calve raises

70 mins

Really effective workout

[Venom]

Took a really long nap today, woke up at 10 oclock at night. Gym closes at 11, so had to rush in there.

Chest/tri shock

Strip top to bottom on pec dec fly
Strip on incline dumbbell press - 100, 85, 70, 50, 35
Strip on assisted dip machine
Rest paused as many push-ups as I could to disturbed song "facade"
Strip on overhead tricep presses
strip seated tricep press-downs

45 minutes. Proud of this workout...took a lot of guts to go in this late and get the job done.

Lookin good man! Sometimes workouts tend to be really effective when you have a "deadline" put on them. Seems to make them more intense!

[Venom]

Thanks, man! I agree. Right now I am trying to keep my workouts down to <1 hr for this purpose in part...make sure I am taking full advantage of every minute.

This morning I only had 30 minutest to train so I was moving!

Shock back, HIIT

Strip unilateral pull-down machine
Strip on venom rows w/ single dumbbell deads
strip close grip lat pull-downs
10 minutes HIIT on stairmaster

Short and brutal!

[NutMeg]

ha, I shouldn't have posted before my ski trip, I meant your PhD program, but I can pm you

Keep it HARDCORE!!!!!!

[Venom]

I am feeling horrible right now...been sick for last several days. I really want to deadlift tomorrow...even if my performance sucks, got to give it a go.

[Venom]

Had not trained for FOUR DAYS!!!!!!! For me, that is the equivelent to fasting for four days.

Finally felt well enough to get a workout in today. I was still tired and stiff, so I just went 50% intensity, 2 sets per exercise, 10 exercises, 20 sets total. Just wanted to get he blood flowing throughout my body, get back into a routine. I am going to just jump right back into my normal split starting tomorrow.
