Scheduling a doctors appointment for these fuggers. Might have to skip leg day today, they have been inflamed from squatting and Deadlifts lately.

Sucks to hear. I have never had them and so I have no idea what that is like. Hopefully the DR. can give you something quickly to help.
 
Sorry to hear that Soldier that's a real pain in the ass!

if you have to think about it and say "might have to skip", then them things ain't too bad :D
bud - I was screaming in agony when mine went beyond the point of no return... (serious, no joke)
it was not cool, at all
 
The bars were fun but it's time to get back on track. Really gotta pick it up and get serious about this. Since I stopped px I Havnt put on weight but I am holding water for sure. About 4 weeks left ima get into my px black! Or maybe 3 weeks since it seems that everyone can dose px black higher
 
wait a minute man..
you have hemorrhoids that have interrupted your training; now you been hanging out at bars, prolly eating like crap..stopped taking PX Black..
:friday: I mean I know it was your birthday and all, but......
not trying to be rude bud, but you have to realize there are ppl out there who have been busting their ass making sacrifices and lifestyle changes..meantime, you been slacking..this does not bode well, at all
gonna have to get SERIOUS and on point, if you hope to make any significant changes in such a short amount of time

gonna have to get that mentality of "there IS no tomorrow - must do work TODAY!"

Took the words right out of my mouth...BB is a lifestyle, that requires ultimate dedication...it's one or the other. Sure you can eat something dirty every now and then, sure you can have a drink(I don't by the way, seen too much drinking in my surrounding for a lifetime), ....you know what I mean, your a big boy already;)

make the right choices...
 
Well I'm on 5 day split during the week anyway. Weekend is my 2 days off. Eating hasn't been out of control. And I didn't even start taking px black yet, was gonna save it so Im not holding water weight for my after picture
 
Friend texted me too, we are lifting tonight after I go to church first. Gonna also throw in some core and heavy bags.
 
Yep, weighing in around 202 still. Time for the real cut to begin! I plan on getting down into the 190's for this. I'll still look thick but obviously more defined. Might use some old px 500-xt before using up my px black unless that isn't recommended.

It sucks, but try and see a doc for them hemorroids....sucks when the mess up your daily life and training.

How do you like the face pulls? I sometimes use them as an extra, but never as a replacement for good old bent over raises, but that's just me.
 
Hope there is some good news Irish

I threw them in there for an extra. I was lifting with a partner and decided to do 2 sets of face pulls real quick. I like em but I feel like they are dangerous, too much weight and the shoulders will crunch up but I was fine.

Shoulder day is a favorite for me. Face pulls are awesome. I smacked myself in the nose yesterday by pulling too hard. Oops.

I did it two times in a row. Couldn't believe I lost it, was just 2,5kg increase in weight and the previous set went great, so tried it again..boom, exactly the same spot:(

Portugal 2000 I think:)...damn , I was 19 back then.....

Still tweaking my volume and weights for leg days. I have good form on my squats with this weight and volume.. could still probably add some more weight without sacrificing my form. Rained all day today so I didn't sprint outside. Weird weather but it'll come to pass.
 
Finished up a long day of work. Decided to make some steak and eggs, great call! Got off work tomorrow, can't wait to lift.

Too many of my friends fleeing the iPhones. Everyone is starting to give up the trend lol. On another note, legs still destroyed from the other day, must of done really good.

Felt awesome today. Rly killed it on the bench, been feeling rly confident about it lately. Had great focus on my muscles today and squeezed em good. Core workout felt a bit off since I hit it the other day. Back Felt real tight during it but I kept going. Tossed some bad meat and had to finish my lean ground beef for dinner. Legs still are sore from the other day!
 
Happy independence day! Not just a day, and it's not over yet! In America with failed Keynesian economists who are both republican and democrat. Marxist planks controlling our society, inflation robbing the poor and claiming it helps, massive government debt and too much power at the top. Hopefully after this next crash Americans can actually educate themselves instead of believing liberal hypocrisies!
