**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

[Sfla80]

Just curious.....do you ever stretch immediately after training? I do not. And I am very tight. I may do a few quick stretches before....but mostly not.

Same here ggr, but I believe most do pre and post like been said.

[Proximal]

I'm so proud. Not the fact that I hit a new Personal Best, but because I just ate a plate of food that would choke a pig.

[almostgone]

I realized no one here posts that they stretch after their workouts....some may mention 5 minutes on a bike for warmup but rarely see 5 min PWO stretches :/

I stretch post lift on arms and in between lifts when working my back. Generally stretch shoulders and work RC before chest or shoulders sessions.

Edit: Also, I took Kel's advice and I hit abs before back and also work abs before legs. It gets the core and lower back loose and gets the blood flowing nicely.

[clarky.]

Morning guys and girls. Feeling no to bad the day i'll see how a feel after work. Really want to get a session in but don't want to go backwards been there just silly.

Shrinking though not been eating much at all am trying though. Right away to work i'll catch up the night. Have a good day everyone.

6 days in a row and I would be completely smoked. Enjoy your days off, Marcus.

RC work is so smart, and so needed. I do a lot of shoulder stretching as well, +stretching biceps helps. I'm prone to medial epicondylitis (golfers elbow) so I do forearm stretches on arm & back days.

I need to do more RC work. I do it once a week but don't do enough shoulder and bicep stretching

Nice little trick, isn't it.

Absolutely. No telling how much grief it has saved me!

[almostgone]

Sooooo tired, . Mixing up a shake and off to the shop to work chest here in a few.

You're training. That's step one.

Fvvvvvvck, and I hit a deer on the way to work tonight. Fortunately, probably only a few hundred dollars damage unless I can massage out the dent and find some of the plastic retaining clips. Hopefully, the dumbass deer just got an adrenalin rush and didn't run off injured.

Man the heat is radiating off of my chest. This is going to be a good burn.

[Bio-Active]

Good morning hitters! Trashed legs today.. Happy Friday everyone!!

[NACH3]

Sorry to hear that AG! Sounds & looks like a great lift!

I'm gonna crush back or chest!

Happy Friday all!

[NACH3]

Nice little trick, isn't it.

Also, been doing ab work first since it's been talked about on here! Definitely loosens things up.

[marcus300]

Added some udo's digestive enzymes pre all meals and my stomach bloat has gone. Strange because I've not used these since my last serious bulking phase years ago. Feel better and don't look 6 months gone

[kelkel]

Time for back and shoulders!

If you don't mind me asking - which blend do you use? Thanks!

Aw damn AG

Fresh kill would have been nice to bring to the shop

It doesn't say a certain blend just digestive enzymes blend.

The dang things are everywhere. I stepped outside @ dusk this evening and there were 11 out in the field feeding on the last of the ryegrass. One thing about it, if the sh!t ever hits the fan and there's a run on groceries, I'm set. We actually have a couple of coveys of quail running around which I'm glad to see. Their numbers dropped like crazy about 25 years ago and haven't been the same since. Loaded with rabbits as well.

Fiber does me wonders

Fiber does me wonders

I keep the fiber % of my carbs fairly high as well. If I didn't it would defo be a real no-sh!tter (in more ways than one).

[almostgone]

Chest is absolutely smoked! Legs tonight. Feeling antsy already.

Really enjoying the night off from work. Don't get to spend enough time with the wife and the beast, doing chores around here, lifting, etc.

I think my GI system is adapting, however there's so much gas in the house, I'm worried when I turn on the stove, the place will explode in a ball of flames.

[almostgone]

I think I may need to quit letting the wife sort my meds for me. She slipped me a relaxer and and some extra stress relief meds in with my heart meds. She said I needed the rest.
Did manage to salvage part of the day and did some.quality treadmilling. (Sorry, Kel, but I had to).
