Look what the cat drug in. What’s up buddy? New tat?

Hey cape! Yeah got about 5 hours done yesterday. Bit of a marathon and probably another few hours to go.. doing my entire lower leg. Kind of a heaven and hell scene I’ve been thinking of for a long time.

How you been brutha?

What did you get?

Lots more to do but that’s the front piece. Pretty happy with it.

Nice!!!! Real nice!!! We have similar art preferences.

Lower back and legs are smoked.

Hit sqauts this morning. Easing back into so I don't fvck this up.

Crunches- 115
Leg extensions @ moderate weight w/ sleeves on for 50-ish reps
Deads - 1 light set of 20 at a slow rep speed

Squats:
Dry bar - 1x20
Plate/side - 1 x 20
2 plates/ side - 1 x 20
3 plates/ side - 1 x 20

Decided to call it there since I've been a little off track.
42 minutes.

Think I may do an upper/ mid back session next and let the lower back rest.

Very nice. Although I’m a black & grey guy, I dig those oranges, yellows & reds.

Little update.

Had my second knee gel shot on Tuesday. Again, painless which fascinates me. It's definitely feeling better.
Still on my TB-500 and BPC-157 protocol which is no doubt helping my knee and infraspinatus tendon tear. Pain on normal movement is pretty much gone and I only feel a minor bit of discomfort on one of the rehab movements. So, things are looking up. Doc said I could go back to light workouts just don't do anything that hurts, duh.

Still doing my 20 minutes cardio about 5 days per week as well as hamstring stretching. The hams are noticibly looser. I'm shocked that it's actually working for me as I never thought they'd loosen up.

Almost forgot, went to my GP for a blood work review (he uses my Uro's blood work for this) yesterday and all went great. BP 120-80 and pulse 54. Not too shabby for an old fart. Everything else pretty much in line and he was quite happy about it.

[Proximal]

Congrats on the improvements Kel! Damn, jealous of that blood pressure.

There’s some white in there too which is pretty cool

Good to hear about the progress. I’ve been a little more pessimistic lately as well, so it feels like a big win when something goes right injury-wise

Also the pulse. Kel have you always had a lower pulse rate than most?

All great stuff, Kel! Especially the hammies loosening up!! Impressive!

Yes. 53 or so is relatively normal for me.

I'm quite surprised about it AG. Even when walking normally I'd feel how tight they were. Really a big difference so far.

Old dog - new trick thing I guess....

Life threw me a curve ball....and be stepping away for a little bit.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

I haven't met you yet but I hope whatever it is that it all works out and Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you also!

No...wait. I mean Happy Christmas and Merry New Year, but is everything good?

You're just trying to be politically correct and not offend anyone right lol?

[almostgone]

LOL, no, I'm not really know for political correctness. I'm hoping that throws a little smile on GGR's face when she reads it.
Also hoping to hear all is good, she is just busy.

[almostgone]

Off to the shop to work off a little steam before attending one of the in-laws family fiascos.
Really hope none of them push my buttons while I'm there.

Oh, I stopped by the cute massage lady's area today, took her her Christmas gift bag and setup a 90 minute session in 2 weeks. Really needing this!!!

[BG]

Whats up Igi! Good to hear all is well, killer ink!

[kelkel]

Heading off on vacation for the week! Everyone have a great Christmas!

Just scheduled my 3rd corticosteroid injection for my back for Jan 14. Really hopeful this one does the trick because insurance only allows for 3 in a 12 month period.

Would have to then either wait to Aug/Sept for the next or further explore surgical options.

Great training sessions this week. Feeling full and strong. Taking the next 2 days off then back at it, legs/abs next.

Vicious chest session yesterday. Felt strong and full. Maybe no cardio since 12/23 had something to do with it.

Decline, flat bench, db flys and cable flys: warm ups, feel, working and heavy. Drop sets on decline and cable flys. Ended with push ups, then cardio.

Headed in for back in a bit. Waiting for the cleaning lady and need to get some breakfast going.

Been taking a few days off. 2019 is going to be pretty insane at work. Worked all day yesterday even though I was supposed to be on vaca.

Going to see Creed 2 with the kid today. Poker night tonight with neighbors and pit bbq tomorrow. Bbq in December, pretty awesome right? My buddy just got a new smoker for xmas and wants to put it to work.

That flat version of a pull-up looks interesting. May have to try it one day.

[kelkel]

Little injury update:

Shoulder feeling much better. Still haven't tested it though other than rehab movements. But moving it around in normal circumstances I don't even notice it anymore which is great. We'll see later this week how it does under a little stress.

Knee is feeling much better as well. Third gel shot will be Thursday and hopefully I'm green lighted for light leg work again as well.

No doubt the low dose deca , BPC-157, TB-500 and Tumeric are helping.

Same here. Looks like if you get the bar position tweaked in you could really get the full benefit.
I also really liked the close grip handle he chose on pulldowns at the beginning? I have the generic v-shaped chinning handle/low row/Tbar row handle, but the one used in the video looked more versatile.

That sounds promising! Figure I'm going to get going here with the new year. Believe I've got the stomach situation under control now. I thought it was a stomach bug, but I think it may be a side effect of some OTC medicine.

Glad to hear it Kel.

Just thought you-all might be interested. The house that Weider built. Was in the neighborhood last Saturday. Happy New Years everyone.

Ugh....too rich for my blood. I'll stick with my secondhand sports store handles.

Agreed.
