Dont even understand how you stand up holding the bar :shrug:
I much prefer smith too (if its busy I'll use the hammer strength). I like behind the neck, but only going heavy and too failure on front, great to do dropsets with smith.
Careful with behind the neck, I luv the behind the neck stretch and activation, but already got 2 injuries from it. Not risking again going heavy on it.
Have never seen this. YouTube it now lol.
Smith press I love cause I can get a few sets with rp in them without any stress of killinh.my self lol. And also for the reason I posted today about my new gyms set up for military. Very awkward grabbing behind my head.
Only issue I have on smith is proper set up....closet I can get to my face without hitting nose.
Tri's and lateral/front delts for me this afternoon.
Tried to do some abs and thought of Numbere working them for an hour. So I felt guilty and just quit. Thanks buddy :wg:
Supposed to be putting me on self injections soon. :) Think the Dr. is or has a letter to send to the stupid insurance company. They've already "trained" me to self inject so hopefully it will be soon. I have an 6 month appointment Friday week and am ready to fly solo for sure!
Drinking a shake then off to the shop before work. Shoulders coming up.
I think if will be 2 years in February? My Dr. was very cautious because of my past heart problems and also was old school protocol. It took me a while to get her on board with the newer and better protocol (had a good bit of help from Kel/pestered him with quite a few questions). :)
I could've gone the online route and possibly been self injecting for quite some time now, but honestly, I kind of like having my treatment through my GP in case an issue with the heart did arise. Also, some of the more progressive clinics screen for clotting disorders, which would've culled me out from the start.
I tried seeing 1 uro and a couple of endos locally. The urologist was a waste of my time and the $$ I paid out of pocket (I didn't want the initial consults run through my insurance). The endos freaked when they saw the pacemaker scar and TRT was out of the question as far as they were cocerned (also paid for those consults out of pocket). :(
So when, I found a GP who would treat me at any level, I started there and fortunately she has listened to my suggestions, although she was slow to embrace them. :lol:
I still have to handle some of the ancillary needs myself, but at least I'm not the total zombie I was pre-TRT. ;)
Back to HIT tonight. At the last minute my belly decided it was done with the steamed chicken, broccoli, spinach, and fresh alfalfa sprouts I had eaten earlier so that cut into my lifting time. When I made it to the shop, I took very short break periods.
RC exercises and broomstick stretches
D'bell shoulder press- 2 w/u, Work1- 8, drop, fail, drop, 4, drop,3. Rested for 1 minute and then another working set for 4+ reps at my next to last drop weight from first set. This really was a kick in the nads. :)
Seated side laterals- 2 w/u, Work- 7+, drop, 3+,drop,2+. Slow 5 count hold on partials.
Face pulls- 1 w/u, Work-9+, drop,6+.
B'bell shrugs- 1 w/u, Work1(front)- 7+, drop,5+. Work2 (rear)- 5,drop,5+ reps.
D'bell shrugs from the side- Work- 4+,drop,4+.
I was hauling ass and got done in 35 minutes. :)
Next lifting day will be my version of cardio via working on squat form via higher rep squats and also hit calves then.
Arms are still sore.from my last pullback. Guess the negative work and slow reps are still effective.:)
There's been some big time dealers took down and the knock on effect took me for some serious money, things at the moment are stuff and I am finding it hard to post due to the stress its put me under. The way I feel at the moment is I don't want to train or have anything to do with BB'ing, sorry guys if things change I will update. I am in contact with a few close friends on here via pm/email and just want to thank you for your help.
Morning gang. Friday is close but not close enough for me at least.
Agree with Sfla - cool that your GP will do that, congrats AG. BTW, hope you had a great b-day!
Had two great workouts the last two days, definitely sore, might take today off - will see how the DOMs progresses throughout the day.
Marcus, very sorry.
Very sad to hear that Marcus. I dont know what went down..but whatever it was im sure you will come out a stronger man

Hey we all go thru stuff like that with training(I just was too earlier last wk) - you'll get back into it when you can balance out everything life is offering
And congrats on school brotha - that's great to hear - I'm going back too... Made the decision about 2wks ago for nursing and shit since I'm good with self bleeding etc I figured to do phlebotomy work too... Going for my certification in October I'm thinking
Thanks man. I do training cos I love it and don't ever see myself competing not anytime soon yet anyway. I just wanna maintain for the time being and just get leaner etc I'm still getting my meals in but have been eating a lot of choclate lately finally weened myself off the craving for sweet things so should drop the extra fat I have gained.
Great to hear your going back too man it's the only thing I am laxking and it shows on a cv that I can juggle a few things.
