breezy's training, supplementation, and food log

I still don't think the Bruins were playing 'their game' tonight, but once they tied it up, they were all over the Leafs..
 
Anyone here ever popped their hamstring??
I was sprinting today, did not have a proper warmup, and pulled my ****

I can walk but sitting hurts.

I've done it.

Probably nothing serious, mine came from over extending my stride trying to beat a guy who was a little faster than me.

Pain went away in a few days.

I have pulled my hamstrings several times playing football. For me it never recovered fully until the season ended. Pain goes away in few days but the hamstring gives when you add stress. Tough to give max effort. Wrapping it helps a little. Sorry to be negative, I never had great success recovering from it.

I was assuming it wasn't a full blown pulled muscle.

True dat. Definitely depends on the severity of the injury. For me, I literally heard and felt it pop.
 
Exactly what happened to me, over reach my stride to try to catch some one..
Then I felt it POP!

Mine is up under my a$s
It's a dull ache while lying down. Standing and walking is hobbly but I can do it. Sitting down sends heavy pain down it though.

I had my bro look at my ham/ right under my as$ (no homo).. He said there wasn't any bruising.


Sorry to hijack breezy I just panicked.

Also, what do you mean by wrap

It will bruise tomorrow. ICE for the next two days when you have time (ICE is ice, compression, elevation). Wrap it with an ace bandage to reduce swelling and to assist the ham in doing its job (stopping the shin bone from flying forward).

No problem ace. Lot of hamstring injuries in here. Luckily, I've only dealt with minor pulls.

Well the chiropractor did some work on it and it feels better. But he said he saw some discoloration :(

Glad it's feeling better. Hopefully it won't hold you back very long.
 
This has been my fast-breaking meal of choice lately. It's very similar to a meal that I posted last week, but without beef. It now includes bacon as well.

I notice you're not worried about sodium intake... Thoughts...

Since adding sodium, my vascularity has vastly improved. Right before my surgery I had leg vascularity and hadn't eaten a carb in 7 days. Just lots of potassium/sodium/water.

Sodium concerns are way over blown, IMO. If water and potassium stay high (as well as activity/training) no need to worry.

Love spicy food.

I'm not too concerned with it, but the rest of my meals will have a lot less. I usually get around 4000mg daily. Occasionally I'll hit 5000mg+. I get a lot of potassium and water as well.
 
The only concern I'd have about sodium would be water retention during show prep. Since I won't be on a stage any time in my near future, and never have before...hot sauce on ERRYTHANG.
 
No sodium ever been counted over here....I put hot sauce and salt on everything. Hope it doesn't come back to bite me one day. :lol:
 
As far as sodium for vascularity, it has been referenced before and I believe there was an article on it recently here at AM. As far as health is concerned, the cycles that most go on around here should have everyone concerned about BP and should probably be getting checked often, that is when I could see avoidance coming into play. That said I do not add sodium in excess to all but maybe one meal a day, vascularity or not, because there is far too much sodium in the foods we eat daily anyway. That is unless you can afford to shop at trader joes and whole foods for all your grocery needs :D

Sodium is involved in many chemical reactions in the body beside fluid retention. Sodium/potassium pumps account for all sorts of ionic balances within the body at the cellular level. I don't follow what the aha says much (politics make it as fallible as the FDA) but do take it into consideration from time to time
 
I don't shop at whole foods, but save money by going to Trader Joes instead of the other chains around here. Not sure if it would be the same in other parts of the country though.

I went once with my wife over here and it made me leery to go again. I will brave the scene once more in the name of savings!

At our whole foods they have a bar and give free wine away so people can get sauced & spend lots of money, everyone is walking around with a glass of wine while they shop. Needless to say their are quite a few fender benders of the cart variety and sometimes it gets real in the parking lot

Haha good luck. It's pretty "normal" around here.

Solid workout today. I'm not focused on strength currently, but it was noticeably improved.


Decline DB Press (slight decline using 25lb plates)
2 warm-up x8
75x8
80x8
85x8
95x8

-1 sec stretch at bottom/1 sec flex at top



BB Flat Bench (1 sec pause/ explosive)
3 warm-up x5
185x5
185x5
185x5
185x5
185x5



Incline BB Bench (slight incline using 25lb plates)
2 warm-up x6
225x6
225x6
225x6

-ROM: ~2 inches above chest to ¾ lockout



Ladder Pushups (starting with stretch pushups)
20, 8, 9
22, 10, 9

-stretch pushup: feet on flat bench/holding dumbbells

-1st set stopped ~2 reps from failure on each partial set. 2nd set all to failure.



DB Lateral Raise (seated)
1 warm-up x10
15x12
15x12
15x12

-very strict form



Cage Press (explosive/2 sec squeeze)
3 warm-up x5
135x5
155x5
155x5
155x5
165x5

Here’s my first and last working sets. I lost some explosiveness when going up to 165lbs, but it wasn’t too bad. I started the pressing movement from ~1 inch in front of my face at nose level, which is hard to tell from the angle of the video. When using the constant tension variation, I was bringing the bar down closer to chest level. These felt awesome.

[video=youtube_share;yuYrvM7vJss]http://youtu.be/yuYrvM7vJss[/video]



Incline DB Swings (destroyer set)
45x60 (partials)
25x30 (partials)
10x10 (full ROM), x10 (partials)
 
Cage presses are my now favorite shoulder exercise along with reverse machine seated press :D
 
The 'sodium causes high blood pressure' is just a hypothesis; the JAMA did a salt study which showed no negitive health effects at high intakes over long periods.

That being said, I personally limit it to ~3g per day and consume a lot of potassium and water. Better to be safe than sorry

Awesome. Two of my favorites as well. Somewhat similar movements too; at least using the machine that I tried the presses with.

Thanks for the info Jiigzz.
 
I'm still craving those back and forths & 6 ways as my finishers. Love them.

Good stuff. Have you tried an incline db swing "destroyer set"? Spider crawls, solo or in a superset, are another great finisher.
 
Oh yeah those swings I do as well. Not the spider crawls, I don't have any bands that'l do the job. Are they harder than they look?
 
Tried those meadows barbell one-arm rows last night - holding one end of the bar: INTENSE bro!

Sure does. Here's his YouTube channel, which has examples of a lot of it.

Cool. Spider crawls start out ok, but turn into one of the most "painful"exercises that I've done pretty fast (I do them for ~45 seconds)...especially when performed immediately following something else (like rear delt swings). If you have any bands, you could try holding one tight, as opposed to "handcuffing" your wrists with it. It'll probably still be effective that way.

Nice brother. I'm doing one-arm bb rows in a couple minutes.
 
I did the one-arm BB rows yesterday breezy and they killed my lats like I haven't felt before (used 25lb plates for a better ROM).
