Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

OK I don't know what you mean "with a pump" and I never lock out anything. With the adductor here is the problem, I can only do 22 or 30 lbs. I took a nasty fall into a column at a casino pool about 3 years ago and damaged something in my right groin. Never figured out what the problem is and have just trained around it ever since. I have trouble at Zumba sometimes and can't do side lunges on right. Can I train it out or should I get it looked at.

no, you can drop the adductor out. it is mainly to pump the area with blood and get the muscles in the area ready to squat and stuff. if you arent able to do something because of actual pain then i always say dont do it. no sense in hurting something really bad and getting set back for wks or months. when i say pumping it means the motion is non stop without jerking or using momentum. best way to explain it would be a controlled non stop motion. that is the pump technique. the others are slow negatives where you take x amount of time during the decent or a hard contraction would be to hold the contraction for x amount of time. drop sets are always done with a pump style motion with as little rest between the drops as possible. the goal behind the pumps is to work the muscle under constant tension while forcing as much blood into the area as possible

if you want to replace the adductor you can do it with high rep hacks or just drop it all together

rotator cuff work(shoulder still a bit stiff and tender)
decline db press 40x15 45x15 55x15 70x15 80x12 90x9 100x8 (took me till the 80s for my shoulders to fully warmup all the way)
banded hs decline press 45x8 70x8 90x8 did these with the medium red bands. the contraction was a 3sec hold and the pump was silly
pec minor dips bw x12 x10 x10 (first time doing these in years so i stayed with bodyweight for safety)

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Hey there guns, I want to start focusing on bringing in lines and I think my legs are ready but know my back still has too much fat. Your hams/quads day leg extensions has relatively low weight high reps should I go back to that as well. On your second round of leg ext. I don't understand what toes back pump and the rest of that sentence means. Why do you increase weight with your sets of leg press. I can put up 225 now but I'm just throwing it on and doing 3 sets 12 reps.

ok my first rounds of leg extenison are just a warmup. i am sure you are talking about the 3 sets of 60. these arent normal leg extensions they are used to get max blood into the knee area. it is done starting at the top quarter of the movement for 20 then the bottom quarter of the movement for 20 then full range of motion for 20. this pushes blood into the area and warms the knees up a piece at a time. now the second round is entirely done for forcing blood into the quad. the toes back isolates the middle part of the quad recus formoris piece in both the full range and bottom quarter. the first 20 reps are completed then without stopping the other reps are done in the bottom quarter.
for the leg press and pretty much every movement you should be shooting for adding weight each set. that makes them grow as well as crisp up and line out. now when the reps get below what you want then you need to lower the weight a bit. the way i am training my legs right now i am hitting both types of muscle fibers the fast and slow twitch in each workout. that's why you see all the crazy rep ranges. what i would suggest for about 3-4 wks for you to do would look something like this:
leg extensions x60/3(warmup) x20 x20 then go into a drop set three drops for 10reps each. all of these reps should be done with a pump and no locking out or pausing at all. we are just warming up the quads and knees and pumping some blood in
adductor(inner thigh) machine 4sets of 20
squats x15 x12 x10 x8 ( dont go crazy with the weight. just focus on the form and push what you can to get the reps)
leg press x20 x15 x12 drop set just like the extensions but i would shoot for 5 drops of 10 reps each.
this should be a good base quad workout to get you going and a feel for how i train. then we can add in some craziness i do once you get used to this in 3-4wks

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Guns, we really used to like Maypo when my kids were young and no store carried it anymore so I had them order it in just for me. I ended up buying out the whole case myself over time but didn't have to store it. Your grocer may do that for you.

yeah i could probably get one of my buddies to do that for me but amazon only takes about 2-3 days and it's just as cheap. we also get sugar free bbq sauces and other condiments from their also. so it's not that big of a hassle. if you want a good sugar free low cal bbq sauce, paula dean makes one that is unreal. if you like southern bbq, kc bbq and a little heat kick then it's the last bbq sauce you will ever eat

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

i had seen it before i actually started using it. funny thing is, i had someone that helps me out fine tuning recommend it to me and i couldnt find it anywhere. i even did a search online of all the stores in my area. we even look still every time we go out. whenever you need something close by it always ends up that way. same thing happened with the sugar free brown sugar and cinnamon cream of wheat i used for years. went to start up a prep and nowhere to be found.
