took advantage of the snow and helped my son in law do snow removal. made $2000 in 24 hours. the rez definately came in handy.
 
Back to full bodies today. 2 pills right now prework is nice. Frikkin good workouts, flyin..sweatin and doing my cardio with higher than normal intensity..puts me in a 'zone'; love that feeling.

Gettin MRI results tomorrow. Another Dr Appt. If I need to rehab, I wont. If I need time off, I will. If I need surgery, I will. I am going to ask for the cortisone shot as the Motrin has done crap to help with the pain...

The Workout:

Smith Machine Barbell Rows
Warm 50x15, 100x10
150x8
120x8, 100x8, 50x10
-Never did these. Isolation is money on these..tendonitis flare on these, but whatever..

Cleans
Warm 135x8
205x6
205x6, 185x6, 135x8
-Huffin and puffin like a train..rest periods throughout workout are nice and low..not much bull****tin..just gettin in, training hard..catch breathe, back in. Rezolution keeps the focus intense..love dis shii!

TCups
Warm 5x10
15x8
15x8, 10x8, 5x8
-Not much weight, but these turn my shoulders into pauldrons litup with fire, specially after cleans.

Hack Squat
Warm 180x8
360x3, 320x3
270x8, 180x8, 90x10
-Usually can burn out more reps, tendonitis in my knees, unsleeved prohibited any further reps or added weight. Doin what I can...

Stiff Legged Deads
Warm 135x10
225x8
225x8, 185x8, 135x8

Usually hitup Decline Chest in this workout, but chest still laboring. Finished up with 30 minutes of cardio. Gonna hitup more full bodies tomorrow.

Rezolution continues to impress me. I dig the 2 pills prework, will def. experiment with 1more. Thinking 1 first thing in the morning and 3 prework..sleep has not been an issue so far.

I've added some Lipoburn to the mix, rubbing 4 pumps on my abs, hips and thighs. Diet has been solid...
 
BTW Gents, check these out! Subscribe, "Like", however you like to roll...Trust me, you'll wanna try these purple pills!!

man sucks to hear about your injury bro...hope its not surgery that sucks. glad to see the rez is going good!
 
Got my MRI results. Partial Tear. Need to see an ortho now. This obviously cuts into progress, goals, stage presence. Very frustrated with this..

Still working out, just not chest; Im also refraining from shoulder pressing overhead for further preservation:

Dumbbell Side Raises
Warm 10x20
35x8
40x6, 30x6, 25x6
-Felt good on these. Great warm and pump.

Bent over Dumbbell Rows, both arms
Warm 50x15
80x6
70x6, 50x6, 40x6
-Tendonitis flare..just keep going. Lats were poppin thereafter..all that counts.

Hammer Dip Machine
Warm 90x25
180x8
180x8, 130x8, 90x10 super slow
-Gotta be careful with these because of the vulnerable position it puts the chest...

Deadlifts
Warm 135x10
315x6
315x8, 275x6, 225x6
-Tired when I got to these. I actually did less than last week, errr...

Leg Extensions
Warm 50x20
190x8
150x8, 130x8, 110x8

Precluded workout with 35 min cardio, concluded with none. Decided I'd had enough.

Rezolution prework needs to be noted. Took 3 caps prework. Feelin like a million bucks ready to roll as I walk into the gym..The way I like it, needs to be, and the way it was.

A friend of mine is also taking this, raves about mood and appetite suppressing properties.
 
Way to keep on trucking bud! Sucks about the tear bud. Good luck with your doctor appointment.. You think you will most likely need to get surgery? Best of luck to you buddy and I hope everything goes smooth and you heal fast

Thanks JJ. I will discuss my options with my ortho and go from there. At this point, there is no pain, no discomfort so I dunno what the deal is..In fact, I trained chest today with no issue, granted I took it easy..but...we'll see where this goes...Thx for the support.
 
Prefacing by saying I cheated on diet. Gained a lb, 209lbs. Couldnt help myself watchin football, cheated with pizza and wings. Anyway, we'll clean that up and get back on track..I will also say my workouts have been friggin awesome on Rezolution. Im focused, intense and driven...exactly how I wanna be when 'in the cage'.

So, heres the workout...

30 mins cardio warm.

Incline Chest Machine
Warm 80x20
225x8
225x8, 180x8, 150x8
-Thats right, did chest. Call me stupid, dumb, ignorant. Even though this MRI shows a partial tear, I feel no pain, discomfort and my workout couldnt have gone better. I went lighter than usual and was extra careful, but I was happy with the results.

Hammer Strength Row (back)
Warm 90x30
270x6
220x6, 180x8, 130x8
-Tendonitis flare as usual in left arm. However, talking with my doctor, I upped dose considerably and there was less pain with more weight...we'll see where this goes..

Hammer Strength Press (shoulder)
Warm 90x15
230x6
230x3, 180x3, 130x6, 90x8
-Weak. Incline bench took its toll. Did my best here. No discomfort in pec region; last week had discomfort in pec area on overhead shoulder exercises.

Leg Press
Warm 270x15
540x8
720x6, 540x8, 360x8
-Felt good. Sleeved up and got er done.

Reverse Leg Curls
Warm 35x20
95x8
95x8, 75x8, 55x8

Hammer Curls
Warm 35x10
50x6
40x6, 30x6, 20x6
-Pumped, nice. Work is payin off...

Finished up with 10 min cardio. Psyched with how things went. Cardio tomorrow, however, another storm so hopefully I can get into the gym.
 
I always end up caving when I watch footbal at a friend house. I drive over there telling myself I am only gonna eat wings but when I arrive I see beer, pizza, wings, chips, dip, mmmm. I am weak and cave all the time. Its ok a influx is good when dieting especially when in a calorie deficit. Just gotta work extra hard this week and make up for it. Kick up the intensity a notch or not

This is Kleens Phase 1 with some exercise modifications..The rest periods are 60-90...I end up sweating like no other..and the gratifying feel I get when I'm done is super addicting..Phase 2 is brutality. Love both of them.

I recently was doing a 5x5 with 7s hybrid ..before that, standard 1 or 2BP's per day. I change it up frequently..For this run, itll be phase 1 and phase 2 up until april'ish..

Best part of it is the DOM's are relatively low so I can hit it hard again EOD. In between workouts is just cardio...

Ahhhh, now I recognize it from Kleen's logs. Good stuff man, sorry to hear about the minor tear, but good to know you were able to hit moderate chest without any complications. Just watch yourself.

that warrior workout is no joke. I tried it one month and sissyed out. It really takes the wind out of you like you cant believe. Awesome workout!! I wanted to get a few more notches under my belt and than try it again. I was thinking I will use it for my upcoming DCP/Heat stack log. Should get some great body compostion changes with the warrior workout and those two products :friday:

It is not for the casual go'er fo sho, lol. My partner vomited once and got sick 2 other instances...When I first started them, I too got seriously dizzy...Now it's a staple in my workout rotations :D
 
No cardio today. Another snow storm. Real bad out, I did get 45-60 minutes of shoveling...so I guess I can count that as calories burned.

Tomorrow I hope to resume full bodies...
 
Yeah man looks like you are doing great. Partial tear that seems to be allowing you to recover. If only muscle and not torn too bad you may not require a surgery. We can hope anyway. All signs are pointing to good from that last workout. Hoping for good news from the Ortho.
 
been reading the log-working out with an injury takes a lot of inner strength, props.

Absolutely brosinski. I have been eager to kill the weights ever since my injury. Dont know why...maybe Im still bitter it even happened in the first place, but my workouts have been great considering the circumstances.

Yeah Chris, not sure how it works in there. If torn, not sure if its possible for the body to repair that on its own..if only muscle like you say, it makes sense that it could but I dont know enough about it...I truly hope he says this thing is small and to rehab...Fingers are crossed. The appt is Monday. Ill know midday and keep you fellaz posted.

Thx Tom. I just love the gym, period..family members think im nutz working out but if it doesnt bother me, why not?

Thanks for the support.
 
some words of encouragement.

The pectoralis major is a very large muscle and it will usually heal well on its own as long as you didn't completely detach it from the humerus. If you did detach it, then you could have quite a bit of weakness and problems down the road...if it wasn't detached and was just a muscle tear, you may be able to get by without the surgery and just giving it time to heal on its own.

Clearly, you don't have a full detachment, otherwise you'd have that swollen, grotesque looking internal bleeding and you sure as hell couldn't have benched.

Yes either way avoid the movement that tore it for a bit. Moving the exact same angle under tension is going to activate the same muscular contraction that tore the muscle in the first place. That is where the most tension is placed from that move and why it tore there. So some chest work like lighter incline may be okay however flat may even irritate it if pushed.

Case in point with my injury. I was able to continue doing high rows for 5 months after tearing my labrum because it did not effect the same area but as soon as I attempted a relatively light bb row it was obvious I was still torn. Not recommending training around an injury so much as saying if you do avoid the same ROM that you hurt your self in.

If you must work chest may I recommend a 4-1-2 tempo on chest movements? Slowing the bar down that much is going to really decrease the load you are capable of pushing. It may keep you from pushing beyond your boundaries for a bit while getting a lot of blood flow to the area for some healing.

Very good points my man. I am gonna try some lighter lifts with slower tempo..How are things with you? Have you gone under the knife yet?>
 
My lifting partner in college went from benching 405 for 6, tearing his left peck attempting 425, never got it attached (college no medical insurance), now benches 135 for 6 if he's lucky.
 
Flex I am doing well and am released from surgery and go back to work Monday. I already have full range of motion in my shoulder 1 week out from surgery. Was lucky it was a clean tear and he just cut the torn flap off, cleaned up the surface where the tear was and got out. I couldn't have been any luckier other than not having an injury at all but. Good stuff gonna update in my log though instead of yours. LOL

Nice...whats your timetable..?
 
Skipped workouts. Another storm..more cleanup...just rediculous..normally i take Sat off. I might get my a$$ in the gym regardless.
 
AIIIIIIIIIGHT.

Back from the dead. Took Friday off, and the weekend. Too many days off. Today I saw the ortho. Muscle tear!!!! No tendon damage..He said take it slow but I can bench!! I also am not perfect. Ate pizza and wings again watchin football. If anything I can chalk it up to 2 good weeks with cheat meals which under normal circumstance is okay. Unfortunately, I've been aiming at no cheats and haven't been able to stick to the plan. I'm going to up cardio by doing an extra hr on Saturdays.

I was tired as hell, popped 2 Rezolution! Stuff had me ready to rock..I turn from zombie to a focused hulk. Love this...

Nice looking workout my friend!
 
So im psyched mentally..No on-call..feel free...

Popped 2 Rezolution prework. Just cardio today, 1hr. Found myself zoning hardcore and upping intensity fighting through the burn. I'm really digging this supplement. Im hittin up full bodies again tomorrow (another storm pending)..gonna pop 3 prework as I wanna approach beast mode without being 'on'. This stuff makes me feel great.
 
What kind of energy would you say you get from it? A shakey jittery type high? A more of a mental type high? Or what? How would you describe it?
