Huddle Workout Warriors

I just wish I could go workout. That's one of the reasons I hate this time of year. I missed last Friday, this Tuesday and yesterday due to parties and obviously the gym was closed yesterday...

I've been fighting a cold too so that's irritating me also...

I'm fighting something as well. Bout to chug some cold medicine take a hot shower then hit the gym. It's leg day, time to work.

For those needing a good split for the week, I've found something that finally works well for me.

I lifted most in high school, due to football. For 4 years, the program never really changed. We'd add a thing here or there, but the format was the same. Compound lifts on MWF, and Tuesday and Thursday were more isolation exercises. Very seldom used machines, so mostly free weights.

Going to a gym where people are doing different things on different days, with limited equipment and only having a couple of times a day that you can possibly make it to the gym to begin with makes it hard to keep up with that same regiment that I did back then. Plus, it was more about muscle mass and power, less about function and looking good (which is my goal now).


I tried doing the 4 day split of chest/tri day, back/bi day, leg day, shoulder/ab day. I just never felt like I was doing enough volume. Very seldom got sore no matter how hard I went in the gym.

So, I decided to go to a more intense 3 day split. I order it based on movements. Basically, push day, pull day, and leg/core day (since most leg lifts use your core as the main stabilizer). Right now, I generally do it like this:


Monday: Chest/shoulder/tri
Tuesday: Back/bi
Wednesday: active rest (usually run and some light ab work)
Thursday: Leg/abs
Friday: active rest
Saturday: Chest/shoulder/tri
Sunday: off (because it's the one day my gym is actually closed, even to members, and I use it as my one true rest day)

Monday: Back/bi
Tuesday: Active rest
Wednesday: Leg/abs
Thursday: active rest
Friday: chest/shoulder/tri
Saturday: back/bi
Sunday: off



So as you see, the days you work certain things changes week to week, but it allows a little flexibility. I can miss a day and just swap an active rest day for it and be fine, and it is giving me a ton to do and work while I'm there, which I like. As high intensity as I am, I still get through my chest/shoulder/tri day in about an hour and 15 minutes, and that's including my warm-up period. Before I went to this split, I was getting through a workout in 30-45 minutes and feeling like "poo...that's it? I'm already done?"

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
