It works pretty well. I lower the seat all the way down so it is out of the way. I am not sitting on it, I just straighten my legs so they are behind me ;)
 
Cardio today. Low intensity. 1/2 hour on the treadmill, level 4.5 , 3mph. I'm sore everywhere I think! On top of my neck being a little sore, I knew the weights were out today.Which is ok, it was supposed to be an off day anyway.




Leg day tomorrow. Going to push my squats a little harder. See how some weight feels ;) May even get some vids.
 
Is your neck getting any better?

Its not as bad as it was. I learned a trick from one of the PTs in school. You take two tennis balls and tape them together side by side with ducktape. Then while laying on your back you put them under your neck. Then just move a little. Instant massage :) seems to be helping.
 
surgery...who? when? lol.

glad to see you are healing up!!!

Tell me about it, I always feel guilty. I am really going to try to adhere to the prescribed rest days in meadows reactive pump though. SO i guess today is an off day.
 
And the switch has been flipped!! :D




Leg Day


Lying Single Leg Curl 2 WU sets of Double leg curls 90 x15
3 sets of 15 @40 each leg


Squats
10 @ 135lbs
6 @ 225lbs
6 @ 275lbs
6 @ 315lbs
6 @ 365lbs


Felt really strong in my quads today but could tell my core was weak. The last couple sets I could feel myself swaying some coming out of the hole. It's hard to see on the vid but I was. Also Meadows called for just above parallel. The shorts are deceiving because the stripe on top is towards the front and angle back as it goes down my leg. But I think I was pretty close to being right above parallel.


Also I need to slow down some. You can see how I get slower as the weight gets heavier haha.


[video=youtube;jCjrg3H0iTo]http://youtu.be/jCjrg3H0iTo[/video]






Leg Press
3 sets of 8 @ 12 plates
10 Plates last week, going to go up each week until I max on these. Was nervous at first but no issues so far.


Smith Machine Single Leg Lunges
2 sets @ 95 --- two sets R leg 15,12, two sets L leg 12,12
These about killed me!! haha


Smith machine
2 sets 15 @ 135lbs
Stood on a box to get a really good stretch on these


Sweat my butt off today and actually felt more aggresive as the workout went on. Kind of wish my squats would of been at the end of my workout :D
Time to start building the wheels up!!
 
Awesome job! You do move quick on those reps! Lol I make them look much harder!! Haha
 
"you can see that i get slower as the weight gets heavier", lol....doh

yup, i see you are back....expectations have no boundaries!!!:hammer:
 
Squats looked good to me, and nice numbers put up today.

Nice lift.... quiet gym (me like)
Click to expand...
Yes it is pretty quiet most of the time. I used to lift at the local YMCA and I hated it. Freaking kids running around doing stupid stuff. Way better here!!
 
So I skipped my preworkout dose of Combustion and Presurge and notice a huge difference in how much I sweat. I never even broke one until about half way through my workout. So there is a deffinate thermo action to the Combustion!!
I've also notice that even though there isn't much caffiene in them, if I spread the doses out through the day I rarely get tired. Being out of school now and being home most of the day, I normally get tired around 1 and want a nap. I haven't needed one is quiet some time now. So not only is the thermo affects awesome with this stack so is the energy!!




To todays workout, I got in and done chest and shoulders.




Incline DB 10,8,6,6 then two drop sets
70's x10
75's x8
80's x6,6
Drop to 65's x6
Drop to 45's x8


I got the next two lifts backwards. Incline BB was supposed to be sets of 6 and flat was sets of 15. I did, or attempted to do inclines with sets of 15 OOPS!!


Incline BB
135 x 15,12,10,10


Flat BB 4 sets
185 x6,6
205 x6,6


Stretch push-ups feet on 18" platform and hands on 6"platforms
3 sets 10,10,12


Band stretching between sets, sets of 10 stretches


Bent over DB rear delts raises
20's x 10
25's x 10,10


Machine Press, palms facing each other
100 x12,12,12


Ultra wide-grip overhead BB press These I did just as in the beggining of the vid, except I stopped at about even with my nose and pushed back up. No pauses
Effin' Killer!!!!


85 x10,8
65 x12


My shoulders were already burning before starting these and these done them in!!


[video=youtube;H28Pwqw7PWA]http://youtu.be/H28Pwqw7PWA[/video]


No that's not me!! haha


Destroyer sets
40's x 45
25's x 30
10's x 10


I had never done Destroyer sets before and didnt really know what weight to use, so I didn't hit 60,30,10 like it called for. But they deffinately "DESTROYED" my rear delts!!!

FUnny my son (19) and daughter (16) go to a gym that has a promotion for students 12-17 in the summer. Free membership from 9-3. My son only will go after 3 now, and my daughter complains about how none of them are serious and has to ask them to move so she can use something they are just sitting on texting. That said, it is a good idea / promo for Goodlife (gym chain) to promote youth fitness.
 
Awesome chest/shoulder day!!! Way to go!! Great info about the combustion too!

I agree with both of these statements. My supervisors look at me crazy when we go on an important assignment and I'm sweating like crazy (I carry a wash clothe in my back pocket to wipe sweat). It seems like every time there is something important I've just taken Combustion.

Ooh, man, these burn so good. I use about the same weight as you, and sometimes I swing wider than prescribed, but I've NEVER hit 60 without pauses. I think the other day I even set the DB's down for 3-4 seconds. The burn is awesome.
 
I didn't know there was a prescribed distance on the swing? I just used them like I would doing rear delts, albeit without near the ROM. Of course by the time I got to the last 10-15 reps the ROM wasn't much haha.

" swinging the weight up in a 6-8 inch arc for 60 reps"
 
Thanks guys! That looks like what I did, but not quiet as fast swinging.

Just a quick update.


Sorry haven't been around the last few days to update my logs.
Yestarday morning my oldest boys were gone and it was just me and the 6 yr old so I decided it was "our" day. Spent the morning and early afternoon with him before I went to work.
This morning I got in a did a quick bis/tri/calves workout. Pretty intense one at that!!


Now the bad news.
I live in an older house. In the rooms that don't have drop ceilings, the ceiling is plaster with lathes below it. Well our dining room has always had a few cracks in the ceiling. Over the last week they have gotten worse every day!! Bad enough it looked like one side was bowing and ready to come down!
So after my workout this morning, I ate some breakfast/lunch and starting tearing down the ceiling to put sheet rock up. Well as I tore down the old plaster I realized it was it that was bowing, it was the lathes and apparently the ceiling joists that are bowing on one end the ceiling!!! Bad enough that I can push up on the joist and part of the ceiling goes with it. Even though I was just up in the attack yestarday I couldnt see any leaks. BUT the joists are covered up by insulation so I have no idea what is going on. ARGGG!!! My wifes cousin owns a construction company so he is coming over this afternoon while I am at work to check it out. Gotta feeling it is going to be some $$$ to fix!!


So the next few days may be hit or miss on here but I will get everything caught up by the first of next week.
 
Oh nooooooo! That doesn't sound good at all!! I hope it's not too crazy $$!

Sorry to hear of your troubles, man! Sounds like you are in good hands though. If you didn't have an insider, this could end up costing even more. Good luck to you!

Hope the Combustion is helping you cope! lol (shameless)
 
Dang, man. That sucks. Bring the house down to Florida and I'll help you out with the repairs.
 
lets hope your wifes cousin can give you a deal, costs of materials are crazy high these days, but maybe he can get a discount to pass on to you!!!
 
Sorry guys been MIA the last few days. Did hit the gym Saturday and got in a good back workout!! Took today off. Was going to get in some cardio but got called into work at 8 this morning. And my wifes cousing still hasn't came by so I will get up in the attack in a bit and see if I can figure out whats wrong.




It looks like I have about a week left of the combustion. I'll be starting a DermaTr3n log for Olympus Labs tomorrow so I am transitioning from a cut to recomp. Although depending on how things go I probably won't change my calories to much. At least this first week, and then I may slowly raise them ;)

Sorry the pic is so big. So this is what I am dealing with, I am in my attic here. As you can tell it is an old house by the insulation. The ceiling joists are actually 2x4's instead of 2x6 or 8's. If you look you can see one laying flat that goes across the joists diagonally. I am not sure how many are up there like that, but it looks like they put them in for more support. That board is nailed into the joists. Once I got the insulation moved back I can see that the couple of boards have dropped some and came loose. So my plans are to jack up the ceiling from our dining room and then get up in the attack and use 4" screws and secure the joists to the brace. Hopefully that fixed the problem. I pulled the insulation back along the 2x4 and it all seems pretty sturdy, no cracks or water damage so not sure why it came loose?

are you going to continue the week of combustion?
 
Wow! Looks like a mess but sounds like you know how to fit it pretty "simply" and without a contractor! I don't know anything about houses! I leave all of that to hubby! Lol I don't really allow him in the attic much anymore though bc he shattered his leg 3 years ago falling through our master bathroom ceiling! O.o

Ouch!!
 
Have y'all taken any walls out or made changes to any walls? I've seen some people try and take out or change a load bearing wall and eventually the ceiling collapsed.
