i did tear my rotator cuffs (both) in football my jr. year....

i never really thought about that, i just took a bunch of pain meds and did these little rubber band exercises and got iced a lot....

maybe that's what it is...although i'd think if mine were still torn i wouldn't be doing db side raises with 40's...



on the other note. when i work out, there are a bunch of old white haired fat rich oil guys that stare at themselves naked in the mirror and talk about the yoga girls.

i've asked a few of them to spot me and they always make a big deal about having to go out of their way haha...

hopefully i'll be able to find a different time during the summer

[FlawedGrunt]

Why do old dudes always go to the mirror naked?

Sometimes I walk into the locker room and you have to walk right past the sinks once you get in... so you walk in and all of a sudden its like BAM! White wrinkley ass crack all over the place!

Disturbing

Fking hilarious guys....hey Natty I do alot of other lifting to like side lats, pec dec etc....things that require me to use my shoulder or to at least move my shoulder...But don't hurt also...Just certain lifts and moves totally paralyzes my shoulder...

hmmm...

maybe it's still a problem then.


can you do military presses?

i can't even look at a bar and think military press or my shoulders start hurting really bad.

I am the same way bro...when I know its time to do mil presses and incline I let my spotter LG33 know to keep an eye out....he knows i have a shoulder problem...I usually no kiddin just suck it up and do the best i can probably not the smartest to keep pushing but i have a don't quit until i can never do it attitude...i'm fixin to go to the Dr. next week an I'm gonna bring to their attention but if they say I can't lift or we need you to go to physical therapy, I'm gonna tell them they are idiots because I've been doing hard core physical therapy for the last year lifting wts....lol....I want them to actually do an mri or xray or something to look at the inside and see if anything is torn or messed up...

good luck at the dr. man.


i don't want another x-ray run on me again in my life. i've torn enough muscles, broken enough bones, and had enough mri's and cat scans to last me a life time.


i even slightly glow now

[heywood]

lol on the scans...I've had a few too. MRI's & CAT scans shouldn't worry you tho; they're based on magnetic resonance and not radiation and are perfectly safe...just damn expensive (x-ray=100, mri=1200).

ya man i had an mri done last year...it was pretty cool but expensive and I'm glad my insurance covered it...

[heywood]

Yeah, my first mri was in jan; had meniscus trapped in the knee joint and it was *so* f***ing painful to straighten the knee enough to get the mri done. In the middle of the scan my knee moved and they had to do it again...still remember how bad it hurt.

welcome aboard man.

i can't get into that sport for some reason...

i've started watching countless fights and i always turn them off before they're done....


just not my cup of tea i guess...


does anyone know if they broadcast bb shows on t.v.?

[jdg487]

I don't know if they do, but I like to watch the strongman competition shows sometimes on like ESPN2 or the VS channel

[buster0371]

yeah the strongmen are cool, some look almost fat they are so buff

[natty texan]

today: legs


Squats
warm up-135x 12, 225 x 12
lifts:
315x 3 sets of 6
bench squats
225x 1 set of 15 i would have liked to have done more, but the lower back pumps i've been getting have really been hurting me on squats...too the point it's hard to stay in form.

lunges
50's (db's) x 4 sets of 8

lying leg curls
140x 6
120 x 6 x 2
100 x 6

these are way down from last week, and i'm thinking it's because i did lunges before these.

hack squats
one plate on each side 4 sets of 15

single leg leg press
2 plates on each side, 4 sets of 12 on each leg.

calf raises.
i found another calf machine that's got more room for weights on the top platform so i used it instead.
400 lbs (all the machine weight)+ a 45 hanging on the adjusting pin+ two 35's and a 25 stacked on the top platform x 5 sets of 20

bosu ball balance.
i have bad balance, and tight hips, so i'm working on that with standing on both sides of the bosu ball

overall i think i bordered slightly on over training.

[buster0371]

wow that is an intense leg day. i thought i was over training too doing around 15-20 sets. but i had no symptoms of overtraining, always got stronger, never felt fatigued durring the days, always gave at least 3 or 4 days of rest, so i think us young guys can handle that type of volume

[Random181]

Any idea why you are getting the lower back pumps natty? its gotta suck man! Nice workout though!
