Alpha90 helping Luke to make the Iron Flex

Took me 5 sheets to do 3 cabinets. Wife is happy with it so I guess that's what matters.


Elbow is starting to feel better. Think I'll still have to use my wrist wrap gloves when I go lifting.

Used my gloves tonight and it still hurt like hell. Had a bunch of idiot high schoolers in the gym today just getting in everybody's way. Was already unhappy with my wrist hurting and they just made it worse. On the bright side, they gave me a good adrenaline rush to go ahead and push through my lifts! Lol!

Had surgery to remove it and was left with a 1" penis... The wife and I are watching it. She asked me what the scrotum was, I said I'd show her if she really wanted to know. Looks like I am going to bed alone early again.. Hahahahaha at least I will be rested for the gym in the morning.

Diet was not great this weekend. Didn't hit my mark so I'm sure that's what it was. I was in overdrive pretty much all Saturday so I probably burned more than I took in.
 
Day 9

Weight +4

Chest

Flat bench
135×15×6

Incline bench press
95×15×4
135×10

Iso lateral bench press
1 plate×15×5

High pulley crossovers
60×10×5
70×5×2

Wrist is still pretty darn sore so didn't want to do any db work. Focused on getting more reps with less weight and flat blew up my pecs! Tried taking a few pics in the locker room but kept coming out blurred. Too pumped I guess! Lol!

That had to have pushed major blood in the pecs! I must've overlooked it but, what did you do to your wrist?

Not quite sure. I'm thinking it happened while installing cabinets. My wife thinks we both have a viral infection because both of her wrists started hurting the same time as mine and she has a rash. ??????
 
Day 10

Weight +6

Off day

The weight is starting to come! Muscles are feeling pretty full throughout the day but not really feeling ON all day just moments during the day. Definitely noticing the weight when checking myself out in the mirror......errrrr, I mean when critiquing myself!

Wife thinks it's Fifth disease. Something that you get when a child mostly but adults can get it too. Get it from mosquitoes and we have A LOT right now with all the rain and flooding we've been having here in central Ks.!! Living out in the country makes it worse. Anyways, shouldn't last too long and both of us are starting to get better. My right wrist still sucks but it is better. LOL! I hesitate to go to the doctor because he would probably prescribe something and this log would be over. I'm not thinking it is what my wife thinks it is. Maybe for her but not for me. I still think mine was caused by putting in the cabinets and having one fall and catching it with only one hand (my right one).

Now that sounds like the culprit right there..
 
Hopefully it's just from you catching the cabinet with your one hand
 
Got a new PR!! 850 lbs on the squat press! I might have strained a little too much cause my head has felt like I have bad congestion ever since. Finished workout hit the store to get some stuff and came home and just been relaxing. Got some funny looks in the store-- probably cause I was walking funny. Lol!

No cold, just strained a little. I was holding my breath on the press. Almost like ears needed to pop. Feeling back to normal now.

Was feeling like my ears needed to pop or bad sinus pressure after the 850 press so I didn't stay too much longer at the gym feeling like I might have to lay down. I decided to stop by the pharmacy to check my BP on the way home to see if that was elevated and was the culprit for the way I was feeling. The store's machine was out of order so I just went home and relaxed. No working at home for once. I liked it! LOL! Have been fighting a touch of lethargy but nothing too bad. So far, no real sides to note. This is really going rather smooth!
 
Haha after making cabinets I think you deserve a rest, And a 850lb leg press!
Now weather or not the wife thanks that way is another thing lol
 
I told her last night that I was taking the night off and she said, "That's good. You've been doing a lot and I want a night with you just on the couch." So we watched Cradle to the grave after we put baby girl to bed. It's good to relax a little more now and again!

Yeah man glad u got some rest.. I just took a couple of days off after killing it for like 2 months straight!! My body is thanking me now
 
You can only go hard for so long! Then it's time to rest, great job with that squat press. I bet after a good solid night of r&r you'll be ready to rock the next time you hit the gym!
 
Day 12

Weight +8

Arms

DB Iso curls
35×10×3
40×10×2

Hammer curls
35×10×5

High pulley push downs
:(

Ez bar curls
:(

DB tricep extensions
:(

This is where I got real discourage and said screw it! Any lateral movement with my wrist was not happening. If I could keep my wrist straight and locked, I could do the lift, otherwise I was dropping it. Wasn't even able to freakin pick up the EZ bar with only a 10 on each side! Wife and daughter were there so I went and did 1 1/2 hours of swimming. Very aggravated about this injury getting in the way. Have a feeling I might be disappointed enough with this log to redo it on my own dime down the road. We'll see.

Feeling nice and full and not looking puffy like excess fat build up. Mirror shows no added mass to love handles so my gains actually seem rather dry.
 
Day 15

Weight: +7.5 (down half)

On the road for work putting up a house out of state. Left my boss' house at 5:30 this morning and drove to the job site. Stopped and filled my big ice chest with 32oz gatorades and ice. Got to the job site at 10:30 am and worked till 8 pm. I only got 2 of the Gatorades and the other guys that didn't bring anything drank the rest ( there was like 16-18 in my cooler)! Had a zip lock bag of 10 of my homemade protein granola bars to last me the 3 days we'll be gone. Had 1 today, went to get another 1 later -- all gone. Sooooooo freakin pissed! Told my boss when we got to the hotel that I was gonna go to the Walmart and buy a bunch of drinks for tomorrow. Put $80 on the company card! Lol!
 
That's sucks about the wrist Luke!! Just work around the injury, legs and back should be OK? I've been working around my shoulder for the last year and gains are still coming so keep your head up..

Even back exercises would probably aggravate his wrist. Time to build hyooge legs lol
