Ice Cold 8180's Workout Log

[Ice Cold 8180]

I don't usually like working out 4 days in a row, I like 3 then a rest day.. However I will be traveling to California for 4 days and figured I would make it count before I left.. I trained Delts and Triceps today and actually had a very good workout.. Strength was on point, dumbbell seated press went 65 for 10, 75 for 10, 75 for 8 and 80 for 8.. I would like to hit up the Gold's in Venice when down there but we'll just have to see how things pan out.. Either way, I'll find somewhere the weights are heavy!

It's been a crazy trip down here in LA.. I have not had a chance to hit any weights on this trip.. I did hit the Venice Boardwalk this afternoon and see some pretty impressive physiques at Muscle Beach.. I made me wish I had my gym clothes with me so I could hit the weights... Next time!

I managed to get into the Burbank Athletic Club today and train traps and back.. Its always fun to workout in a foreign place where nobody knows you.. I had a great workout and had the chance to play with some equipment that isn't in my gym.. I should be sore tomorrow.. Strength is climbing with the Blue Stack as well.. This is gonna get good!!

[Ice Cold 8180]

Well the California trip is over.. It was a good time and I really only missed one day of lifting.. I will be back in the iron fight tomorrow and I can't wait! I'm going to start things off with dead lifts! The Blue Stack is going to carry me to great heights!! Look Out!!

OMG!! Todays workout was EPIC!! Yeah I said it, EPIC!! A well rested body, the combination of the Blue Up, Blue Growth and Blue Gene and its on!! PR's here I come.. Today I changed things up and hit Bi's and Tri's... Super sets and all, it was glorious!!

[Ice Cold 8180]

Quads, Calves and Abs today.. As expected, another battle in the gym! Front squats, followed by alternate leg press, regular leg press, leg extensions and lots of heavy calf raises... I was a mess when it was all over! Now its time to feed the beast!!!

Back to the old split.. Chest and Back today.. Crushed it!! incline dumbbell press 80's for 12, 90's for 10, 95's for 8 and 100's for 8 followed by a ton of flys... We won't even discuss the back workout.. My back is ol reliable.. I'm always gonna get it done... Everyone has that one area, mine is my back... The last show that I took 2nd, but not this time! I will be crushing it until I have a better one! Always seek motivation from anywhere you can!

I know this sounds pretty repetitive, but here I am again taking a "much needed" rest day. The last three days of training have been brutal and my body needs the rest. I always preach that although what you do in the gym is very important, what you do out of the gym can be equally important. Been taking in a lot of protein and aminos today.. I'll be back in the house tomorrow for dead lifts!

[Ice Cold 8180]

First time in 31 years that I puked while training legs... It was INTENSE and although it was disgusting, I felt a certain sense of satisfaction when it was all over...

"They say no matter how hard you work, there's always someone, somewhere working harder then you. Guess what.. I'm that someone"

Today I tortured my Traps and Delts... I started out a bit slow due to a long, hot day.. But I found it! Dumbbell lateral raises with 40's and upright rows with 45's on each side.. All in all, I was pretty satisfied with my workout, ended up getting a good sweat.. I think ultimately I was still trying to recover from yesterday's leg workout.. It was a doozy!

Arm day! This Blue Stack is UNBELIEVABLE! The pump and the strength was nuts! Decline dumbbell skull crushers 35's for 12, 40's for 10, 45's for 8 and 50's for 6... Today I tackled the 70 lb dumbbells for seated curls for 8 reps.. And no there was no swinging... Just pure calculated excellence!! This boy is growing!!!

[Ice Cold 8180]

Today was a rest day... Can't say that I really rested though.. I kept my calories high, but ran up and down a pretty steep mountain/hill here in Boise... It was hot and it felt good.. I'm trying to get my legs a bit more conditioned.. I'm going to throw all kinds of hell at them!

[Ice Cold 8180]

Back to the grind today.. Quads, Calves and abs... Started with back squats and then followed with front squats.. It hurt and I liked it! Followed with heavy leg press and then alternate extensions... Yes, I'm dead! The abs have been popping really good too!!

[Ice Cold 8180]

Chest and Back today! I worked in a few different workouts today that my body is not used to and I am expecting to be pretty sore tomorrow.. No gym tomorrow, however I'm pretty sure I'll hit up Camel's Back Mountain for some outdoor conditioning... I think I'll be getting back on stage this fall.. Unfinished business!!

Yesterdays rest was very helpful! I had plenty of strength and energy stored up for my attack on the Hamstrings, Calves and abs... I still couldn't get passed the 365 for 6 on deads which was quite surprising considering I got 315 for 10 with little effort.. Nonetheless, my legs were shaking by the end of it and my abs felt like they just got hit with a shot by Tyson... Another great day at the office!!
