Hey, just remembered a never got my blood work yet. I'll phone on Tuesday as she is off Monday.

[almostgone]

Ok, off to the shop. Still running just a bit of a fever and my eye is starting to swell shut again. Never had an infected tear duct before that I can recall. I had a Rocephin injection on Monday and have been on 875mg of amoxicillin b.I.d. Maybe I need a different antibiotic or something? Have to work tomorrow, so it may get interesting?
Headed to work my back and will post up in a bit.

Rocephin is really strong, but only one? amoxicilin does nothing me :/

Hope you get better.

Thanks, Mr.BB. This is really weird. Can't get it to quit tearing up right now. Was headed to the shop but stopped to warm compress the eye.
I think the injection of Rocephin was a kick start for the amoxicillin, but not sure if the amox was the correct antibiotic for this?. Decided to gauze pad it while I lift to catch some of the discharge.
Don't really want to go.to urgent care if I can get by till Monday and see my Dr.

Ok, let's get this going.

I haven't done those incline do curls in a while. I used to do them lots. I better do those again next week

[NACH3]

I've really been a fan ever since last blast I was implementing the incline DB curls after my first ex(usually heavy BB/or DB curls) - arms were reslonding very well

What do you guys think of doing hammer curls first(or 2nd) rather than last? I usually end with them but have been thinking they're a mass building ex but also a great shaper... Just looking for opinions

I think you could do them early and then end with a concentration curl

I love them...took me awhile to get them going though. Good for size correct???

Bio you and numbere alternate tri-bis. How do you guys like that. I always knock out one or the other first and move on to next.

great for size I like to twist at the top of the contraction with my thumbs out. Gives me a killer pump. Yes I like doing bis and tris at the same time. No need to really rest between sets that way and just gets my arms fired up

Bio, Sfla nice sessions. Hey Bio nice to see you in here, I love incline db curls it was the big man that got me on them. They are wild, burn like fvck.

ya I don't know why I have recently got away from them. I am incorporating them back in to my arm training next session for sure

[NACH3]

Good placement there - I'll let ya know how it turns out - that's kind of what I was thinking in terms of placement/sequence as well

Agree on the twist - watch DY do them and that's what I'm picturing - Great ex and with a great pump too

Ok, let's get this going.

Last time I got rocephin cause of my tonsils (few years back), had a business meeting aftewards but everyone was telling me to go home cause I was pale white... But it was always 2-3 rocephin doses, plus a proper last generation antibiotic. Remember one doc trying to give me amoxicilin, and I said thank you but I''l go somewhere else lol.
Docs will always try to give you crap old antibiotics, but its funny how if their kids get sick they pull latest generation stuff, go figure...

[Mr.BB]

Skipped legs today, cold/flu symptoms

Slept whole afternoon , if i'm better tomorrow will do some cardio.

[almostgone]

Ok, a tad slow but depth perception was off a tad with a patch over one eye and this was a full HIT lift as well.

1 set of crunches and some back and lat stretching.

WG pulldown w/ u'hand grip- 2 w/u, Work- 7+ - 3+ - 2+. Slow 5 count negative on the partials.
Parallel grip pulldown- 1 w/u, Work- 5+ - 3+ - 2+. Slow 5 count negative on the partials.
Straightjacket stretches
Tbar rows- 1 w/u, Work-6,drop,4,drop,6+. Should've exchanged a quarter for a plate on the last drop instead of dropping a whole plate, but anyway.
Low pulleys rows- Work- 9+ - 4+ - 2+ with a slow 5 count negative on all partials.
Deads- 1 w/u, Work1- 10 good reps. Work2- 7 solid reps. Should've worn straps on the second set. Could've grabbed a few more reps.

58 minutes not including crunches and stretches. A tad long, but it was a good back lift despite the eyeball issue.

[Proximal]

Man do I miss DB curls, particularly loved them with an incline. RC won't let me do them anymore.

Fantastic Rear Delt, Back & Biceps workout today.

Was in the mood for a little more volume, but did some SS's and a lot of Rest-Pauses for some added intensity. I'm finding I feel my rear-delts more with more with higher reps & greater volume (face pulls, DB rows with elbows high).

Continue to love the hell out of single arm bicep work (triceps as well) going to positive assist failure and then negatives to ultimate failure.

Hope everyones weekends are going great - enjoy all!

Agree single arm is great and easy ti ISO. I do like going heavy on the hammer strength preacher curl and utilizing my spotter for the forced reps

I acquired a bad eye infection years ago while spending some time in a sandy environment. If I recall correctly, I got a Rocephin injection, amoxicillin, and clobetasol prop ointment because blepharitis also set in and it worked well, but I'm wondering if this is going to require something in the fluoroquinolone family? If it isn't better by Monday, I'll check in with her. She may want to refer me to an opthalmologist or something.
Hope you get to feeling right, ASAP!

[Bio-Active]

I hope you get better soon AG.

I hope you get better soon AG.

Thanks, Bio. I will, just need to throw a little extra stubborness at it or something.

Actually thinking of hiring a trainer just to help me with spots & forced reps. Big fan of just about every piece of hammer equipment.

Get better soon AG!

well we all have plenty of that! Let me know if you need to barrow some cause i have plenty!

Work a bit more on RP's and Drops first. You can kill it if you do them right.

[almostgone]

Believe I'll cut up a chicken breast, throw some iceberg lettuce at it, some alfalfa sprouts, some bean sprouts, and water down a Tbs. of some Greek yogurt salad dressing, then eat, and crash. Working day shift tomorrow and have to be there by 6 a.m. and it may be a 12 hour day, we'll see.
You guys and lady/ladies have a good one.

[almostgone]

Work a bit more on RP's and Drops first. You can kill it if you do them right.

Absolutely!! Add in some slow negatives, slow negatives and positives, and occasional negative only reps and it's possible to hit waaay more muscle fibers than you realize. Just rest pauses and drops can be extremely effective.
Although it would be nice to have the occasional spot, that would mean someone would be around when I am lifting and I'm just not used.to that anymore.

[Bio-Active]

My son and I do those forced negatives on the preacher curl. Those are great for finishing off the bi's

[Proximal]

Kel, AG, hear ya. Would like to push it a bit though with a couple of lifts like close grip bench & incline that my RC still allows me to do, but worries me with. Basically, paying for a spotter, feel weird imposing on others in the gym that are locked into their own workouts.
