    Hello all! Just checking in after being gone a while (been trying to take a break from internet and social media as much as possible). Anywho... got in a solid leg session tonight.
    Squats: warm up, then 405x8, 405x5, 425x3, 345x10, 315x5, 225x10 super slow reps to end it out. Then hit calves and some ab work. Feels good!

    That sucks. My phone usually doesn’t work when I am off, but you sound like you have a sense of responsibility to the company and that’s admirable. For me it’s usually the turd rolling down hill to stop when I pick up the phone

    Hope you get a workout in AG.

    My conscience is louder than the other voices (unfortunately). Will defo get to the shop tomorrow evening. I'm making a point of turning off the ringer for voice and text before I crash.
    Just a smidge of food shopping when I get off work and then onwards to the house.

    Morning all! Looking forward to shoulders/tris session tonight. That plus 20-30 minutes on the tread climber. I finally came out of denial a couple months ago and decided it was time to admit that my “bulk” that had started two years ago and never stopped could no longer be called a bulk. Was just getting fat ..lol! Picked up a ton of strength in the last few years though with my bench finally passing 400. So far I’m refusing to let myself drop in strength though, so no matter what the fuckin weight is going up once I pick it up! I’m down from 220lbs to 205 right now and my wife says she’s happy I’m looking more like a bodybuilder again and less like a power lifter

    Good morning all. Hope the day is good. Hoping enough of the virus has gone that I can get a lift in today. I seem to have had a huge cup of ‘who gives a shit’ this morning.

    Almost my bedtime. Just finished off a vial of Serostim yesterday, still have most of the kit left, but decided to tear into one of these 60 iu Saizen Ezypod cartridges and just took my TRT shot as well.

    First time I've seen Graham Hicks training in a while, but I may have missed it. He's a stout fvcker and aerospace engineer to boot. Pretty cool seeing Brian Shaw doing his thing and making the rounds to train with a good many of the strength athletes. One thing about Shaw, if someone asks him a question, he stops and takes the time to give them an answer.
    Not exactly an HIT video, but pretty dang intense in my book.

    I hear ya! It only got to 74F here today (no kidding). Wasn’t sure whether to wear a long sleeve or put on sunscreen. Some days are just like that.

    No lift today. Bad bug just won’t go away. I’m afraid if I lift hard I’ll end up tanked for sure. Going to live vicariously through the forum until I get into the gym. Hoping tomorrow is the magic day.

    Got legs in yesterday. Went well and was able to bump the weight up again in squats with no issues and was able to add vertical pressing back in with permission of the therapist. Took it real easy on these and kept the reps high (20's) to reacclimate and make sure my hams hold up.

    Saw the PT again today and he said two more weeks is all for therapy and then I'm done. Said to start back on normal seated leg curls as well (eccentric and concentric) just light and higher reps. So, some good news for now. Subject to change at the next workout.

    Do you think you will dare to ever use that new leg machine of yours or will you not chance it?

    I don't think I will ever use it again and that pisses me off big time. Just to much of a risk with the position it puts me in. Therapist said no, just no.

    Dang, that blows. If the therapist says no, that's how I would play it; I know you have a lot of confidence in him. On the plus side at least you didn't shell out $$ to purchase it.
    So, seated leg curls are ok or no?

    56° F. Believe I'll go lie in the sun like a beached ginger whale for an hour or two. Legs are wonderfully sore from last night's lift.
