I think I remember you saying you were a writer.

Ah, a real writer would have said he could erect something divine, lol.

Sorry, this is a meat-head board, so I must be base on occassion. Pardon me, please. :)

I do write quite a lot for a living, though not a writer-for-trade in the true sense.

Good night and have a pleasant weekend, young lady. :)
 
It's all about liability balancing at this point. Anyhow, a little pain never killed nobody.

Workout cut short before it started. Traffic is horrendous, and the missus freaks whenever there is any reason we may end up being a minute late where her folks are concerned, so she declares we need to leave 20 minutes earlier than slated, just as I am exiting the door to train. I say screw it, I will do my best, but need to complete most of my workout; but 25 minutes later I come to my senses mid-workout and assure her I will be on time -- even if only to quell her neuroticisms regarding her dad's neuroticisms, lol. So chest only. Will do arms tomorrow. In any event, my shoulder is burning.

HS Wide-grip Bench
+90 x 15
+140 x 12
+180 x 10
+230 x 10
+270 x 8
+300 x 6

Dips
BW x 22, 20 (decide to dial it back since shoulder is hurting), 20

Pec Dec
100 x 3 x 12 (ouch at left rotator cuff, indeed most of left delt)

That's all ...
 
Happy Holidays Jinx! Sorry to hear the news.
I'm sure it will just be a very short term setback for you. Let me know if you have any questions about anything again.

Wanted to drop a note and say thanks to this log, I'm benching again. Gave RG bench a shot yesterday and everything went great. First time I've benched in many months.

Glad to hear that re benching. Great news, dude. And thanks for the kind sentiments.

I would like to talk about some stuff re "homemade" repairs. I will text you, man. I know you know a lot about this stuff.

Happy holidays.

Ran into 2 cop friends (they're brothers) I haven't seen in a while, who were formerly power lifters. Like me, they recently lost a shi.t ton of weight, from boxing and jujitsu in addition to Jenny Craig diet, j/k. Funny, they were showing me before and after pics on their phones. I told them, "It's good to see that there are two other straight guys in this place who are gheyer than me." (I don't mean that pejoratively. There is a large gay community at this gym. Some of the most strapped guys in the place.)

Merry Christmas, GoKix! May we all get lean gainz in our stockings! :)

You're like the smart, hot chick that hangs out with the dumb meathead/jocks, lol. Though you're kind of a meathead yourself, which I mean in a good way. :)

Uh, meat and head, two of my favorites things, lol. My bad. Have a wonderful holiday. :)

Lean gains?? Pfft. :p

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, buddy. The iconic Hungryman is not intended to be lean. And he has plenty of time, at his tender age, to recomp. Just get stronger and hyooger for now.
 
I got The Perfect Sit Up exercise machine as a Christmas present. Wish I was joking. Let the gains... Begin!

You can post the "before" pics right here. And to capture the full core, and so they are perfect, they ought be nekids.

Merry Christmas! :) Now make mine one.

I can picture it now. Wearing a weight belt and adidas squat shoes. Left arm band for the mp3 player. Essential gym jams. Get the feet pedals locked in. Throw on a Santa hat and rep out sit ups to failure.

I am watching you both, while cooking breakfast, doing sit ups and dictating posts.

You look hawt Sean. But please, shave that bung or cover it with your gym rag, as it's killing the visual.

Inception.

Totally contra [any] ception. ;)

Xmas cheer is here. I should post a pic of these sweet potatoes. Though I am wearing whiskey goggles. It's all a matter of per-ception, I s'pose.
 
gokix811 said:
I'm having a cheese platter.
Click to expand...

Noms, cheese ball. I made omelettes for brunch, with a 1/4 pound of quality sharp cheddar. It is Christmas, you know.

Pan fried some pecans in butter, with salt, cayenne pepper, brown sugar and maple syrup, for sweet potatoes.
 
Happy new year Jinxie! How's the rotator cuff and training going?

I think I'm going to start up a new log, I need to kick my a$$ back in gear. Starting a CKD and a new program. No more 5/3/1 or powerlifting for me. Current goals are just to look good nekkid, then I'll focus on strength later.
 
Yeah jinxie, what's happening my man? Hope it's vacation and not work related.

LOL. Happy new year. Thanks for checking in. I need to email or chat with you re some stuff, and will once I come up for air. I can relate to your current goals -- that's not an invitation to send me nekids, lol.

I've made a new year's resolution -- no workouts for 2014, lol. I actually squatted once and did some core and shoulder PT stuff, and have been meaning to log that. But that's it since Xmas Eve, I am embarrassed to say. My RC was killing me, and then I got enveloped by yet more work a few days after Xmas. I'll be up and running again this weekend. For now, I am not only skinny, but also scrawny.

Take care brothers.

Hey buddy. Hope you enjoyed the holidays, and happy new year. As you may have figured, I am swamped. Vacation, no such luck!

I should be back next week. Take care, man.
 
Aww, thanks fellas. I miss ya'll too.

At least my quads match my upper body now after resuming squats and backing off upper body work bc of my torn RC, lol.

Still need to see the surgeon. Physiatrist said I will need to repair the RC. It was really lit up on the MRI, a lot of fluid, and some significant tears, subsurface and interstitial. He couldn't tell whether I will need a labral repair. I am hoping not!

But I will be back at it soon, in any event.

Yeah, after dreaming about watching you squat last night, Toro DLing, Big Country benching, and Gutter posing nekid, I figured it was time to check back in, lol.
 
I can treat you right, will you let me treat you right?


I'm sorry, I'm no good at talking. Glad to see your alive homie!

Look forward to catching up with logs, including yours, next week.

Forgot to mention dreams of you doing the "perfect" situp, whilst eating cheese. ;) And happy new year. :)
 
Tomorrow is the day. Or today is the day, rather.
 
What's happening today?
 
How's it going brother? I managed to force myself to the gym late last night and had a brutal workout starting with a back workout, then reverse grip flat bench for many sets, then on to arms while doing a circuit with legs (split squats), upper/lower...almost threw up haha.. The motivation is back.

I wanted to ask people in here...with the crazy weather the US has been having, has anyone had old injuries causing pains again recently? I hurt my back carrying by 110 pound dog up 4 flights of stairs a year ago when he hurt is leg. I trained fine in the summer without it bothering me, then out of the blue, it started hurting during this whole 'polar vortex' business. Is it something I should get looked at (i.e.: MRI?)
 
Sorry for the disappointment. Planned on training and posting on Thursday, but it was a day spent just trying to catch my breath and restore my batteries, for a tough Friday.

Took the last week of the year off, because of work issues combined with my RC issues, and that has carried through to the present unfortunately. I have a pretty bad streak going, and need to dig my way out of this. I just finished my second sesh of the year, pathetically. Will get some traction after this next week. Still plan to make it in at least a few times between now and Wednesday. But the week after this next, I plan to return to my formerly pederastic ways, which of course will include pictures, maybe even video.

Sorry to hear this, but I don't know anything about this polar vortex thing. I am blessed with pretty temperate weather.
