Thanks.
Steve and I had went over my plan and he advised using the proviron since I was going to use CLEN and Winny. He thought it was solid.
 
Super strong OHPs! The Horror, the horror! Nice job brother.
 
OHP, lat raise SS with holds, just dayum.

If I get a deer tonight I'm gonna OHP his a** all the way back to the 4-wheeler just for you.

LMAO!!!!! Now that was funny!!
Sure hope you guys get 2(1 for each)!!
 
Sorry for the loss of Snags. He will be missed around here.

On a good note you are crushing it in here as usual!!!!
 
Thanks Chris. Love shoulder workouts!
 
Friday BACK day

First, hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving. Mine has been quiet which is great. I think I ate 2lbs of turkey yesterday!!
Now back to normalcy.
On a bad note, I think my back pumps was more than that. I either pulled something or have a slight tear. I'll work through it...good thing is this is lite week!

One arm BB rows
45 x 10
70 x 10 x 5 sets
My right lower lat is where I'm feeling the pain. Staying light didn't aggravate it with this motion

Meadows Rows
45 x 10
70 x 10 x 5
The last couple sets on these I could really tell it was aggravating it.
Went to do lay pull downs with 90 to warmup and my right lay said no, no more. Shrugs gave me the same problem. So, I called it a day. Will get some front squats in later today. And will see if I can get some deads in.
Went home and took 1600mg of Motrin and that has helped. Along with some Voltaren rubbed in.
 
Ouch! Hope you feel better! Glad you didn't push it once it started hurting!
 
The Motrin really seemed to help so just got done doing some sumo deadlifts
135 x 10
225 x 10
285 x 5
315 x 3
I could really start to feel my lat to tighten up again so I stopped here. With the Motrin helping like it is I don't think it's an injury but rather it's just knitting up on me. I'll get the kinks worked out over the weekend hopefully. Tomorrow is leg day and it will be light also.
Maybe santa will bring me one of those new fancy mattresses that's suppose to cure back aches...lol
 
You're crazy! Lol Glad the Motrin is helping and it doesn't feel like an injury! Hope you get that mattress! Lol
 
Next year I think I am going to celebrate US Thanksgiving - f**k it! lol all this talk of turkey in the threads!!!!

Why not? I wouldn't let some border stop me from celebrating!! And eating!!
 
If I need a pain reliever to quell pain I won't workout at all. I'd hate to make an issue worse because I can't temporarily feel it being agitated. This isn't necessarily a suggestion, just sharing a personal preference.

Hope the lat issue is just a knot and leaves quickly!

I didn't have a Thanksgiving this year either. :(
 
LEG day

In keeping with this being a lite week I kept the leg workout to a moderate weight. What surprised me today was the weights felt light. And these weights 4 months ago were heavy...

Hack squats
150 x 20
240 x 10
330 x 10
420 x 10 x 4sets
I see 600 coming on my heavy day.


Leg press
260 x 20
350 x 10
440 x 10
530 x 10 x 3 sets
I see me getting 800 real soon as these just seem light and last heavy day I got 720

Leg extensions
105 x 12
135 x 12
165 x 12
195 x 12

Seated leg curls
105 x 10
135 x 10
150 x 10
165 x 10
180 x 10

My right lat is still tender and radiates around to the chest but wasn't as intense today as yesterday.

Oh, if I had to take a Percocet then that would be a different story. Right now I feel it's something I can work around. Tomorrow will be interesting as its chest day. May have to really alter the workout but will decide that when I get up in the morning...
 
600 on hacks would be beastly! Your light weight numbers are too though. Lol
 
Funny! Your "light lifting" days are still serious lifting days. Very nice! Watch your back brother!

We should take Canada into the fold that is the USA so they can have turkey too! Lol
 
Chest day!!

First back felt great up until about 3am. Mental note: can't lay on my right side. Got a good idea what the issue is(thoracic disc alignment) so ill need to go see a chiro soon. Been trying to roll it out. Will try the TENS unit this evening and roll it before and after using it.

Still light weights(moderate really) which works out fine with my back issue.

Incline BB press
135 x 15
185 x 10 x 5 sets 45sec rest between sets

HS incline press
90 x 15
140 x 15
200 x 10 x 5 sets

HS chest press
140 x 10
185 x 10
235 x 10 x 5 sets

It was a good workout without taxing my back. Hope I get it corrected before heavy days roll around next week.
 
Nothing like back and neck issues! Workouts still are looking great.
 
Strong numbers for a deload or light week.

Hope your back pain is short lived or remedied bro.
 
Arms day

Last of my light days, or moderate, or not so heavy day. Not sure what to call it any more!

Standing db curls
25x 30
35 x 20
40 x 10
45 x 10

Dips
BW x 15 x 4 sets

Standing wide grip EZ curl
50 x 15
60 x 15
70 x 15
80 x 15

Skull crushers
60 x 20
70 x 20
80 x 15
80 x 15

Spider curls
50 x 15
60 x 15
70 x 10
70 x 10

And that was it. Short workout as I new it was going to be a long day at work. Back felt pretty good during the workout but had some heavy awkward lifting to do at work and even though I'm the boss it seems I end up doing all the heavy stuff. Oh well, it's a little sore right now.

Shoulders tomorrow but may just do OHP's and destroyers and fore go the laterals. Maybe throw some hack squats in its place to eat up the time...
 
Boom.

Ooh, haven't done spider curls in a while. You're giving me samples to add in... Thanks.
 
I'm glad you're confused on what to call them--I sure wouldn't call them "light" ;) I sure hope your back/side feel better! Sounds like it's pretty rough!
 
There are light days, heavy days and Turff days! Arms are pumped!

Prefer Master lifter to old...lol
Of course with the gray hair, gray beard, and natural balding I don't think anyone would confuse me for being young...lol
Sometimes I have to remind myself I'm over 50, not under 30. The shame!!!
 
Shoulder day!

One of my favorites. Back was feeling much better and was able to go heavy as planned!

250 x 8 - PR in reps
280 x 5 - PR in weight

And I was toast after that. Did some ab stuff but was only in the gym for about 40 minutes.
 
That OHP weight! Geeez! Add that to the 40 min workout and I gained even more respect for you!! Super fantastic job!

Yeah, my strength is starting to even amaze me. I sit and wonder where I'd be at now if I didn't have to take 2003-2012 off due to multiple back surgeries. I'm blessed to even be back in the gym, let alone being able to push the weight I push. I look at each day as my last day and put 110% into it.
 
Very impressive PRs Turff. Jus damn.
 
Glad you're feeling better!! Those OHP numbered are just insane.
 
Today is cardio/rest day.

Finally broke down and went to Five Guys yesterday and had the Cheeseburger and a bag of fries. I think it has been almost a year since I've eaten there. Total cal intake yesterday was 3567 and I got up this morning 3lbs lighter. Weighed in at 195. Gotta love it...lol

Broke down last night and bought a bag of the Quest cheddar chips. Had them with lunch today and I'd have to say they weren't bad. I may buy a box just to have when I have that craving. Definitely not something I'd want to eat often but every now and then wouldn't be bad. How do they get 21grams of protein in there is what I want to know...
 
Where did you find the chips at?
 
Vitamin Shoppe has them. I'll probably order the box from an online vendors as they are cheaper. But I recommend to buy one bag first to see if you like them.
 
Il have to check that out. Thanks.
 
Five Guys cheeseburger and bag-o-fries for my lunch! Hey, I'm trying to keep my gains! Lol

You have to like having a meal like that and then waking up lighter. lol

That's what I was thinking! That's pretty freakin awesome!! Good to know about the Quest chips too! I've been wondering about them!
 
You should try the Quest Cravings( like a Reese's PB cup). Crumble one up into some greek yogurt. Or some low cal ice cream... Friggin' awesome!!

Agree with you... I will make protein ice cream sometimes and crumble one of those cups in it.. homemade blizzard
 
Yumm!!! That's a great idea!!! Gotta try that!
 
BACK

should've been heavy day on back but I kind of strained the strain yesterday. So I went as heavy as I could until I felt it causing any pain.

One arm bb rows
70 x 10
90 x 10
115 x 10
115 x 10
125 I could do with my left but not my right(where the strain is)

Meadows Rows
90 x 10
90 x 10
115 x 10
115 x 10
Didn't even attempt 125 on these due to the strain

HS ISO lateral rows
90 x 15
180 x 10
270 x 10
270 x 10

HS Preacher curls
110 x 10
110 x 10
90 x 10
90 x 10

Have to give the upper body time to heal up. Hopefully the strain will heal in the next few days. Tomorrow is legs and if the back isn't better I'll take Sunday and Monday as rest days. No heavy work at work this coming week so hopefully everything goes as planned.
