Thanks Thomas. I just haven't been feeling it for about 2 months now though. Life has gotten in the way...lol. It's ok though, I'm not competing or anything so as long as I keep pushing when I can then I'm good. But, I can feel it on my heavy sets, that frustrates me and will drive me. And the fact that my arms are my trade mark chiseled and veiny biceps bothers me.gotta get that back, first gotta eat this bowl of ice cream...lol
 
Ice cream and pizza first! Lol

At least having some equipment at home you have options.
 
Yeah, most of my workouts haven taken place at home lately...

That'd be tough for me after a long rest. I haven't tried to DB press in a while, but that weight imo is difficult to press let alone stabilize.

That weight is hard to get up into position

Yeah, with the 80's I bounce the weight up with my knees. That is difficult at times. Half bounce half hammer curl. Need a bench that has supports for DB's...lol
 
Two of the three deltoid heads destroyed! 80's are HEAVY! Nice work!

Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving!
The day of gains!
 
115 on the ez curls ... mah elbows are screamin from here!!! ... lol just kidding. but it been along time since I hoisted that much in a curl. 90 seems to be a good spot for me right now. just the right amount of pain vs the amount of pump. :twak:
 
Sheesh Brian! You're such a beast! Freakin strong work!!!
 
Thanks guys. I think my nerve damage makes it easier to go heavy...lol Can't feel the pain! I feel it more in the lower back and core while doing them as I tighten up my core so tight to maintain form. Probably the only exercise where I lock my knees also.
Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving and to those north of us we will be thinking of you guys too!
 
Strong arm session as usual! Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the family time.
 
Strong as always!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! Enjoy the bird!!!
 
Gonna have to cause nerve damage on me, too.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Was worth stopping here. We just went from a 32" 720p to a 60" 1080p smart tv. More for the wife than me as I never have time to watch. Still nice to see the smile on her face though...lol
 
Nice volume on the inclines!
 
Football party at Brian's!
