I love Romanian Deadlifts. The upper back pump I get from them is killer!

Thick traps and forearms are something you can't hide no matter how large you wear your shirt!

Did I mention I'd trade a kidney for 30 inch legs.

LOL no! Seth Feroce likes to call leg day lower arm workout. Funny when he says it

[1MOREMOD]

Oh I've heard people say something about growing legs on your shoulders or some shit like 20s plus but never other way around. My goal is to have bigger arms then legs like a true bro.

Then you would be like 95% of the guys at my gym.

I swear to god I see more women putting guys to shame in the squat rack and deadlift platform everyday.

Got to have them curves and they aren't afraid to put the work in.

Had a ski trip over the weekend, flight got canceled out of buffalo, had to drive through a blizzard to Norfolk for work. Was in the car from 10am to 8:45pm, but got a 5 mile run(37:08!) in when I get to the hotel gym finally.

Hotel gyms are such a pain in the ass. My workouts definitely shift to more cardio based when I am on travel due to the equipment limitations. Don't get me wrong I dont have an issue getting a good workout, but upper body definitely does not get as worked as much.

Typical workout when I'm not on travel is ~10min cardio(incline treadmill), ~10min abs, 45-55mins lifting, 10-15mins cardio(either run or stairmaster). Through the week I would say I run ~10miles

When on travel it usually shifts to ~15min cardio, ~10min abs, 30-45mins lifting, 20-40mins cardio. I'll usually avg 3-4miles a day, hoping to run a 10k this week, goal is 20miles by Friday.

had a pretty good back workout today. I usually hit bi's on back day but today I decided to just do back alone.

interesting observation today from a body builder who's pretty well built. he was hitting chest today and going pretty heavy on flat bench and incline. what caught my interest and maybe you guys can chime in when he was doing some standing cable flyes hitting the middle chest. now...I usually have my elbows slightly bent and I squeeze when I get my hands almost touching. this guy had his elbows at a complete 45 degree angle and was doing half ROMS? it almost looked like a Gym Fail but if you look at this guy he's a body builder. thoughts?

I'd say I fall somewhere between my arms ar bent and stay at constant bend throughout move. I never go particularly heavy on fly movements it's more of a pretty move for feel then size I think.

Same here. For flyes I go with a moderate weight and go for the full stretch when I bring it back and than forward squeezing at the peak. His range of motion was the handles were already in front of him and his movement was maybe less than half. Hard to explain

I carry a TRX suspension trainer with me when I travel. Just make sure you get the door "anchor" and you can get a great body weight workout right in your hotel room. Weighs about 2 pounds and takes up less room in your suitcase than a pair of shoes.

He's probably going by feel. There are some exercises that you can't just do textbook style and feel results. Regarding his movement, I'm somewhere in the middle. Kind of like I'm hugging a tree.

But body mechanics make up a lot of it. Just a little tweak here or there can make a huge difference in how you feel the muscle "fire".

I think I inherited my father's bad lower back. I'm 43, and I just started to 'feel' it within the past couple of years. I had X-rays done at a chiropractor two years ago, confirmed slight compression in the discs in my lower back due to genes and wear and tear (hockey). 'Back days' are where I put in more time, and I added more lower back exercises and stretches to my routine. I've also focused a lot on improving my posture. Doing this has helped me tremendously.

Off to work then have my heavy sbd routine later. Need to kill it.

How many of you guys do cardio AFTER you lift? I read somewhere that you're not lifting hard enough if you still have energy for cardio afterwards, but everyone's goals are different I suppose. What are the benefits of post-lift cardio?

I usually do cardio after weights, but on some days i simply do not have the energy.

So yes, i would agree with that statement.

I find it harder to lift after I do cardio as I'm worn completely out. I also find that if I lift first, although my muscles are in hypertrophy, doing cardio after tends to work out the soreness a little. I can kill my cardio session after lifting, but never the other way around.
