The High-Jinx Log: Celebrations of My Reincarnations

[Gutterpump]

I need to try Reverse-grip Bench out.
This log is the first time I've heard mention of it. Been missing the bench press.

Shít is definetly different. I think I've only done it once. Jinxie is def a strong reverse grip presser.

 

[rob112]

I am horrendous at RG bench

If it gets me benching again, I'll be happy haha. I can't even do heavy flies anymore

Movement, properly performed, requires extreme scap retraction, and elbows inward, so it is perfect for me, with my shoulder and elbow issues, and likely you too. If you have a strong incline and CGBP, as I do (relatively), this lift should progress nicely with work and patience. If you video, I can give pointers. Start light and get used to bar placement across heel of hand at an angle, with extreme wrist flexion -- not an issue for me as I am hyper-mobile.

Heavy flies are a shoulder mutilator, for the predisposed.

Subbed just because.

 

[jinxie]

Subbed just because.

With a back that looks like that, and a slogan that says, "Squats do a booty good," you are most welcome here.

I saw your 185 lbs deadlift. Not shabby at all. Keep up the good work.

 

[Torobestia]

Liar, we know it's because of the jinx noods.

Diversification of the group. Very important.

Do I have a belly?

Yes, but i am also the only guy who worships your belly button, lint and all.

My belly has shrunk further brother. I need to get my post holiday bearings, but I will post some nekids in a few days. It seems I've experienced a metabolic shift as I did not gain a single pound over my one-week vacation, despite a lot of rich carby food, including cuban several times, a steak house, a place called Swine (effin yum), a 24 ounce BBQd porterhouse, among other treats. 165 lbs lean, biotches. Small but mighty.

 

[jinxie]

I'd rather see Gokix booty, thanks. I like me some Asian pork bun. (My gal is Chinese, so please take no offense.)

Ouch. Either you just said I have a belly or I can't be part of your group. Devastating.

 

[jimbuick]

That's where I'm at....

 

[Sean1332]

You're in the group. I think Toro, Herder, and myself are the only chunky monkeys. Jim is on his way, and might be there already!

 

[iparatroop]

That's where I'm at....

It's ok. I'm a one man wolf pack now.

 

[Sean1332]

Herder said it, we're a diverse group of gentlmen. You two and Jinxie can be in the good lookin part of it

 

[jimbuick]

Liar, we know it's because of the jinx noods.

In my defense, aw hell, I don't have one.

 

[jinxie]

Ouch. Either you just said I have a belly or I can't be part of your group. Devastating.

You're doing a'ight for another old man.

Funny thought that it take this for you to appear on my log, lol. But there's plenty of room for more narcissists in my window, as long as they don't detract from my aesthetics, lol.

Bwahahahahaha

Bwahahahahaha

Jim musta opened his stash up!

 

[jinxie]

My log is getting ass raped, metaphorically. Phuckers. I am going to have to post something sexy as fawk now. After my sesh tomorrow that is. Right now, it's all about the Jack and Crystal Light lemonade as I recover from jet lag, biotches.

I want a booty shot, GoKix.

Yeah, well, at least it's not a bunch of tools telling me what I am doing wrong, lol, and how I need to diet and lift differently if I want real results, lol.

 

[jinxie]

Jim musta opened his stash up!

That's definitely jack stack quality. Only thing is, I like long hair and protrusive nipples.

GoKix, hook us up!

Just use iForce products, you won't need sound training or nutrition.

Jim, I don't know you that well, but well enough to know that sarcasm is always implied -- or at least inferred.

 

[iparatroop]

I'm always here jinxie, I just don't always comment. And I try to stay away from most hormonal banter, unless it involves a 5'8" 145lb 21yo asking about tren, test and dbol.

I am with you re the homo-ronal banter, and don't want it apart of my log, fwiw. But this sort of a banter is all good, as long as I get my booty shoot. Shoot, I will settle for your fine, X-fit ass, brother, provided it's hairless.

 

[herderdude]

Para shaves his ass?

 

[Sean1332]

Para shaves his ass?

Who doesn't?

I mean..

 

[jinxie]

Who doesn't?

I mean..

Me. But I do have to admit, my hulky little brother convinced me to shave my arms this weekend. Forearms looked great for a few days (really veiny), until the dark stubble came in. Now I am not digging it. But one thing remains clear: I am the master of my domain with these forearms, lol.

Bleh. No manscapping. Only the scalp.

Yeah, well, you dont have Popeye/Robin Williams forearms, lol. Recall, I've seen your nekids.

 

[herderdude]

I remember channel surfing and seeing this movie. I wondered to myself "Did Robin Williams hit the weights for this role?" Tuned in, saw him, laughed like hell.

They are large, and also hairy as heck. I've seen him in person, at standup and eating at a quaint resto as well. He's short, but actually pretty thick, or at least last time I saw him, around 8 years ago. Definite lifter, at least used to be.

I love that movie. I have a much younger bro, and that was one of his faves. So I've seen it at least 50 times on VHS, lol.

Let's turn this back to GoKix, flaming moes.

There ain't enough Mach 3 blades in this city...

 

[jinxie]

I figured it's high time I join this workout soiree we got goin' on here. I took 4 days off, as a result of being out of town, traveling and consequential jet lag.

Anyhow, here's how it went ... (Not great, but at least I am back into the swing of things.)

Wide-grip Lat Pulldowns
100 x 12
130 x 10
160 x 8
190 x 10

Hyperextensions
+25 x 20
+50 x 15
+50 x 18

HS Iso-lateral High Row
+180 x 10
+230 x 8
+270 x 6

Seated DB Presses
35s nope. Left shoulder is in bad shape. Time for re-hab.

Rear Delt Flyes
2 x 10

Internal/external Rotation (0-180 degrees)
6 sets x 12 at neutral
2 sets x 12 at high (left dysfunction and pain)
2 sets x 12 at low

I, T, Y Circuits on Swiss Ball
3 x 12

Pulley Crunches
4 x 20

Sauna
15 minutes
(Memo to mis amigos Mexicanos: Es una zona no para hablando.)

My left supraspinatus must have suffered a partial tear. I will see my physiatrist at mid week (missed my weekly appt for trigger pt injections last week bc of holiday, which partly explains my increased pain) and my internist for my annual physical later during the week. Hopefully I can get one of them to order an MRI.

This is not a place for talking?

 

[jinxie]

This is not a place for talking?

That's what I was attempting to say: No talking zone. Should have used a translator as my Spanish is pretty tortured these days from lack of practice. Man they blab full octave in the sauna. And my phone was dead by that time, so I was a captive audience without music. Worse yet, one of them was playing Latino music on his damn iPhone -- not with headphones, lol. I am not usually one who refrains from speaking my mind, but I was clearly outnumbered and I figured I'd likely just get more irritated if I said something. So instead, I stood up, look pissed and flexed, while staring down the talkers, lol. And then I started farting. They cleared out.

 

[rob112]

Nice man, I admire your drive. You don't let **** stop you. You don't let what you can't do stop you from doing what you can.

 

[gokix811]

Bound to have some turbulence after a small break. Good work and lol @ farting in sauna with Mexican music playing. Sounds like a sitcom.

I was just asking to see if I was correct. Spanish is an easy language because of the number of cognates. I don't speak Spanish at all. I should really learn, though. Can't be too hard after Chinese.

 

[jinxie]

Thanks bud. I do my best to moderate my expectations and to be thankful for what I can still achieve. It has taken a lot of deliberate inner work to reach this place of acceptance, as I too like to lift heavy shiit. I am extremely undertrained right now.

Truth is, if I were willing to juice up on AAS, I still could get hyooge and impressively strong. But it would only accelerate the injuries. Not worth it for a few seconds of glory, at least for me.

Hopefully, I can figure out more fully what is going on with this left rotator cuff, so I can get back on the course of making some gains. Indeed, just the trigger point injections mid this week should help quite a bit in this regard. At least they usually do.

Anyhow, thanks again.

I need to contribute somehow, right? If not with massive numbers, at least a little comedy.

Thanks KixBooty.

 

[jinxie]

Figured it's time to update my picture pages. Still weighing in at around 165 lbs, but think I am a little leaner than when I started this log. Been doing a few sets of abdominals with most of my workouts, and they are starting to reveal themselves a little more. It's time to start working my legs again, after taking around 3-4 months off, so I am going to reintroduce some light squatting this week.

I decided to opt for running shorts over underwear this time, which I basically had to convert into a skirt to capture my upper legs, lol. I think it's time to invest in a Speedo, lol.
