NO PAIN!

You were right Billy. It must've been from CG pressing. I haven't done them in a long time.

215x13-14 would've been a volume PR. Maybe next time.
 
Ayo! That's a win when there's no pain!

Question, the number next to the word "bench press" is that the tempo of the movement?

No, it's the app I use calculating the estimated 1 Rep max for the top set of that exercise.
 
Fort myers close to you?

This guy might have some things that are worth asking about for your gym.

No, but worth a drive for the right price for enough stuff.

That said, my purchasing is on hold for a little bit.
 
Elbow is sore again. I think I need to go back to band pressing every day again to keep my joints loose

Churro protein popsicle.
 
I went to give blood today and it was declined. My BP was too high. I decided to go to the doc and he gave me BP meds.

Diet changes are a must.
 
I hear ya... i started cleaning mine up today... way too much over indulgence this summer...

Time to pay the piper. This stuff catches up with you as you age. Nip it in the butt now.
 
Ya, i guess you would know my ale consumption! lol Damn fun though

Haha, as well as you know mine. Well, at least those which are documented..... And you've got that right!
 
Did the doc do any labs on you? Could be a good opportunity to check your numbers for everything

Yes, still waiting for results.
 
Did someone says labs? Shameless plug ....
You can use this IOS app to track your bloodwork:

Elbow holding up?

Thanks!

It felt very tender/sore on 45x10 but went away during the 95x10. I didn't feel anything further during the workout. We'll see how it feels tomorrow. It's been off all week except yesterday.
 
Congratulations on the bench PR! Strong!

SS - Preacher Curl/Prssdown:

SS - Band Hammer Curl/Pressdown:
50/50 50/0

Notes: 'Elbow' didn't like the overhead pressing greater than a single Rep. Turns out it's not the elbow but my lower tricep, maybe a tendon. Masking helps a lot but fatigues the tricep. More mashing needed to break up whatever it is.

It was fun doing arms today.
 
So... Irma. Prayers accepted that it passes us and heads elsewhere.
 
Prayers for you and your fam Reg. At least you have a gym at your house!

Btw, sounds like your tricep tendon is pissed off. Ice, mash, stretch the tri. I cant remember if you do them but lay of skull crushers or JMs or anything where your elbow goes into end range flexion.

Thanks! That's true, if the storm is worth waiting out I'll be set.

I did avoid extensions this past go. I'll ice now, thanks for the suggestions.

Prayers for you. Evacuate if necessary as it's a freaking category 5 now.
 
Thanks fellas!

Not evacuating. Models vary but looking right now like it'll be weak when it reaches us. Still could mean affecting what I consider normal living tho

Notes:

I need more shoulder stretching. One of the 315 singles really made my bad side delt feel off. Maybe I should raise my bar some on my back, too.

I need more accessory stuff.

Storm steadily moving west. That's perfect for us. Keep going, please.

Blood work came in. Cholesterol and triglycerides are high. My own fault. I'll make a diet plan soon.
 
Look into red yeast rice. I remember reading a study showing it performed comparatively to commonly prescribed statins. Up the fish intake too for your protein needs, im assuming you have access to a lot of good, decently priced fish down there.

Prayers for your family's safety.

Agree with this. Do not let your doctor put you on statins. Cholesterol is the starting building block for your entire hormone system. Try to reduce levels by diet changes. Try eliminating all beef as an experiment for 6 months. Stick with chicken, turkey, fish and pork. Bloodwork will tell you the results.

Eh, prices are similar everywhere because there are so many farms that are cheaper than catching fresh fish. Only certain fish and shrimp here are fresh. Still decently priced, though. Thanks!

Thoughts are with ya Thomas

Thanks Simon. Track still moving away from us.

Will try. I don't eat a whole lot of red meat anyway. Thoughts on eggs? I hear mixed things about the cholesterol in eggs.
 
Two eggs a day for 6 years. No cholesterol increase. Plus the protein benefit makes them a staple.
 
I agree with Kenpo on eggs. Used to eat 3-5 5+ days a week for 3-4 years. Now i have 5 probably 2-3x a week and although im youngish my levels were perfectly fine/"normal" when I had bloods done a few weeks ago.
