Had a real bad day today at the office. Was beyond pushed to the limit and really needed tonight's training. I am so glad I am now able to listen to my Ipod while training so I can just zone out and do what needs to be done.

Someone is now moving back into the right direction. At the start of last week I was up to 245.8. Well this morning daddy is down 240.2. Hell yeah it feels so good to be going in the right direction again.

Man you'll have those days but the weight is always there waiting for you. It's my sanctuary for sure. Hope tomorrow is a better day but if not just be proud of yourself. You can't change anyone but you.
 
Nice workout my brother. Always good to be able to escape life for a bit, kick some jams, and destroy the weights. Nice job on the weight loss as well...looks like the ball is in your court...now dunk that bastard!!!
 
Awesome workout man, and love the weight drop. For me seeing you do this fuels me to not only drive myself but brings joy to see a good friend getting their goals in. Hopefully the work issues will get better or I'll win the lotto and hook you up!! Good lifts brother!

well I am a tad mad. I jacked up my back today while training. Appears to be a sprain? Not 100% sure yet though. As I was starting my work set on the Wide grip rows my back popped forward and i went to the ground. I am flipping sore as can be and hard to move. So i may be laying low for a week or two until I heal up. So not happy about it.


Oh and a side note i am back down to 238.5 as of this morning. Wasn;t going to weigh in but this morning something just felt different. And it was good for once.

Damn bro, back injuries suck. Put me out for a bit during my last Epi-V run. On the other hand...awesome numbers on the lifts big weight with high reps. 200lb cable row is damn impressive...definitely would have put me through the ringer. Hoping it's just a minor set back for ya but take it easy my brotha

What kind of pop, Jeff? As in a loud pop? The feel of a bone pop? It could be many things, but a pop is generally not indicative of a strain. I suggest that you get your back looked at as soon as you can to get a diagnosis, so that you know what it is and can start working on recovery, because you don't want to be out for too long. I do hope it is nothing too serious and heals fast for you!

Rosie is right Jeff. A pop could be something more. Get some anti inflammatory in you and Ice it.
 
Thanks Rosie and Rahl. I have motrin and vicodin. And it didn't help last night.

The best way to describe it was like this. My back way flat and as I was pulling the weight toward me my lower back buckled I heard and felt a pop. I drop the weight don't got up and went over to this contraption that you can stretch in. At first I couldn't bend forward but after grabbing the bars and forcing my self,it popped again after that I was able to move around. I got on the table and had one of the trainers stretch me out and while it was uncomfortable it felt good.

In my experience with back trouble, and I've had a lot, that sounds like a disc slipping. If you popped it again you probably "put it back" but who knows if it's quite right. I would recommend a visit to a good Chiro to make sure things line up. In the meantime I like Aleve and ice 2x a day to alleviate swelling.
 
Oh bro you know as soon as I read this, I was praying and will continue to do so. Keep me updated. Hopefully it's just a sprain and nothing worse. Good note to see your down to 238!!! You catching up to me!!

Well today I made the choice to go in and try to get some training in. There was some good and some not so good. After the first rep I knew I wasn't ready but said fug it. I can't let what I have started get further behind. So here you go. It is funny how adrenaline and emotions can get you to a different place and allows you to focus that much better.


Cable Flys

12 reps 110 lbs
15 reps 170 lbs
12 reps 210 lbs
10 reps 250 lbs (Maxed machine out and is also my Personal Best)
6 reps 250 lbs


Reverse Cable Flys

12 reps 80 lbs
10 reps 110 lbs
9 reps 110 lbs
8 reps 90 lbs
10 reps 70 lbs


Precor Row Machine


12 reps 25 lbs
15 reps 60 lbs (each arm)
15 reps 80 lbs
10 reps 80 lbs
10 reps 50 lbs


Tricep Extension

12 reps 100 lbs
6 reps 250 lbs (Maxed Machine out Personal best to date)

had to stop after this my back was extremely sore. I should not have lifted the weight I did. But damnit I wanted it.

I know that feeling man. Be careful though. Nothing like actually having to sit out for a long time. It's painful in more ways than one.
 
Ouch bro bro this sucks. I know how you feeling, and want nothing more then it to heal up. As always in my prayers and stay strong. Def be careful with it. Have you had a chance to visit Dr yet? Or see a chiro?

No I have not visited my dr nor a chiro. Might have to soon. Stubborn I guess.

Got to agree with the bolded portion, Jeff. You got in and did what you could, so kudos for that :) You can always do something that is not going to aggravate your back to stay on top of things.

Stubborn bastard. Lol. The Dr most likely will hand you muscle relaxers and some Aleve. If you have a good chiro that's my recommendation for what it's worth.
 
Yeah bro get it checked just to be on the safe side. I didn't want to on my shoulder either, and was so close to 300lb bench again. Now since having the surgery I can't even flat bench anything. Sooner you find the root the better chance it can be fixed and fully recovered. Also remember for me, that being down for lifting help me jump start the cardio and knocked off some weight. I wish the best for you bro!

Nice to see you back in action, Jeff. Just make sure that you adjust your training to "allow" for your back - not making it any less effective, but taking into account what you can and cannot do re function, etc. and let your back "heal"/"build back up". It can be tempting to go faster and push yourself, but if it's something that was serious, you don't want to put yourself out more than necessary. Take care and be safe!

X2 here. In my experience Jeff I would warn you to be conscious of the amount of work your back is doing in all standing movements. ie..uprights etc. Not saying not to involve those in your training but rather keep them lighter and be aware of the core stress.

Glad to see you back at it bud. Think I'm registering for the Warrior here in June.
