If I had 2 weeks off, you could eat, sleep, and lift here. I'll have to save my vacation next year. :lol:

I can't speak for y'all because I don't understand all of the implications, but at a glance it seems like it would be a huge hit to the European markets. On the other hand, if the other economies are holding back the UK, you have to take action.
What's your thoughts on it, Marcus?
Whew! I did some heavy sleeping today. I don't know if I'm just dealing with yesterday's lift or the combination of the lift and the heat/humidity, but I was wiped. Don't really feel like working tonight, but we have to keep at it, right?
Nice!Quote:

Morning everyone ! I have arms on the menu this morning. Chest is nice and tried from yesterday.
Going in to give it hell...
Hope everyone has a good day.
Summer is so damn busy for me.
I've been training 2-3 days a week. Quick HIT workouts with drops.
I wish I could contribute more and read more. I'm way behind on that.
Miss my HIT family here and hope I find some time to chat in here.
Keep kicking ass everyone.
Since I have a min, I'll add that I'm not hitting my lats well.
I can't get them sore except for chin-ups sometimes. Not sure why, My ROM is full, my weight is heavy, and I'm keeping elbows in and holding contraction if possible. *Cracking walnuts" as Marcus would say.
Rows, pulldowns, single arm & double are DB rows...I mean they work, but I just don't dig in I guess.
Not sure if everything else is failing before my lats are toasted? Should I use wraps or maybe hooks or something? Using plain grip on other exercises after really hitting lats? This is the body part that has grown since HIT, but I just don't feel like I'm going all the way for some reason. I'm trying, but something needs tweaked.
My count is going up again and ive not done a single thing except give blood and my usually trt which is not every 12 weeks. Ive got another 6 months with the consultant and I don't know whats going to happen to my trt now. Got to give blood very soon. Cant go on gear and this is going to be around 2.5 -3 years cycle free.
On a scale of 1-100 I am pissed off at a level of 100
WTF is happening to me, I'm shrinking and doing everything they want but yet my body is increasing my count.
Turning heads isn't working for me in this area,
fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Damn Marcus. Very sorry to hear this.
Have you ever heard that being heavy and muscular increases your count even though your not taking anything. Like we all know our natural creatine levels increase the bigger and more muscular we get but have you heard of anything with the blood Kel?
Ive also got low platelets which is concerning her.
Did shoulders and traps.
Pre ex seated side db raises
Standing db side raises 1 working +rp 1 drop
Seated shoulder press 1 working DD. **new weight**
Face pulls 1 working +rp 1drop
Traps db grip 3 sets (stack)
Behind back shrugs BB grip 2 sets (stack)
Done.
Traps are fried as i've not done them in about a wk and a half or so maybe more. Shoulder session was not much but got done what i needed.
Face pulls were what Haz had showed us the other day. Lean back foot up elbows high great move and really felt it thanks haz.
Oh aye, RC i went over my last vit d results the day with the nurse. It was <20. So below 20.
The ranges were. 25 and below is deficiency. 25-50 is insufficient 50 above fine. So basically if your under 50 you have a deficiency.
She told me (nurse) her and her daughter had a vid d deficiency and her doc would not treat it. He said to her we would have to treat everybody in scotland fvcking pathetic.
That elbow up tip was one of the best tips I've ever had - so simple but man can I get to my rear delts with it. Using that "spider-row" that Kel favors as well (we have a machine), great for the mid-traps!
Nach, Marcus - something you might want to consider is how young you really are. Point being is these issues now are temporary; you have MANY years of successful training and gains to be had.
Thanks Prox... Always looking forward to your posts man! I agree - my thing is what Marcus & AG had eluded to previously train smart and don't put too much/any pressure on myself... That's where I go wrong and not easing back into it and of course at our age we must consider how we start or rehab, coming off another injury etc pullbacks knowing when to take one - thank you for writing that post it lit an extra lil fire under my butt to keep eating clean start back tomorrow w/back I believe ;) and just go light until my procedure - eating will be the hardest thing for me atm -
I agree Priximal it's temporary atm and we are not - we adapt to do what we love right!
Yeah I had no clue until I went and got tested. I had even went to 3-4 doctors before my latest one and not one tested for it. I tan easy so been slowing getting darker in the bloody Southern heat and taking Vit d 10,000 IU everyday along with some Vit A and zincQuote:

Nova you can get a decent set of cotton straps for 5 bucks and they really help getting 2 extra reps.
There's a published study that straps can increase the amount of reps you can do by 20%.
It also helps if you put your thumb on top of the bar instead of around.
Went at it a tad different tonight. I started a little later than I planned and just as a check, I added an extra working set here and there, dropped a couple of exercises, and slightly changed the order of things.. Still hustled pretty good. Shot coming up in the a.m. :)
