Hit a quick push /pull workout, gotta good pump!

[zaggahamma]

get it!!!!!!!!!!

hopin to get a gun workout in today

[Sicko]

woke up a hour & a half before my alarm went off today at 1am...couldn't go back to sleep but felt rested even with only 5hrs sleep.
went in to the gym early and had a great workout.
Hit chest and crushed it!!
1 warm up & 3 working sets. Hit my personal best (at this stage of my life) on flat dumbbell press on my 4th set for 6 reps
Made my day...Following Marcus's inspirational speech to Zues regarding HIT and mind set.
My lifts have increased dramatically.
Amazing how we can hold ourselves back sometimes (at least me) when we have so much more in the tank than our minds tell us we do!
Even now I feel like if I was able to get 6 reps at what I thought was my "personal best" I'm pretty sure that I could go even heavier for 2-3 reps. Always hear that little voice in my head when I go for PB's that says. " your gonna hurt yourself and screw everything up"
I think I will just incorporate the new weight into my normal work out and have a go at heaver weight again in a few weeks.

I know what you are saying, it's amazing how we can push ourselves when we need/want to. I know I can push harder but like you, I'm so worried about getting injured. If my body didn't feel like a tightly wound rubberband, I would go for heavier weights but at the moment, just cannot do. Maybe if my body loosens up some then the heavy weights will be back on the table, or on the bar so to speak.

Thanks for dropping by!

RC, ever go in for deep tissue massage?

I have and need to go again. It just gets too expensive because I need to go everyday! There is never enough time to get all of the knots out of my body, sucks. I probably need to rent the place out and have a couple girls massage me to get all of the knots out.

[RaginCajun]

20 minutes of fasted swimming, 800 yards

Ya I have a massage once a month. Last month, I had two in the same month and could really tell a difference. You're right, it can get pricey but it's the best $60 I spend on myself in a month's time. Man when she gets that elbow in one of those knots, whew!!! Hurts so good!!

I'm going to have to look for a cheaper one. Just hard to tell if the cheap ones are rub n tug places! Haha!

[RaginCajun]

Woke up in the middle of the night with a crook/pain/tightness in my neck on the back left side. Guess I over did some foam rolling and self massaging. It hurts to move it! This 4 hour drive and meetings are going to suck today! Fudge!

Ice it, and whatever you do. DONT get a massage until the swelling an pain is down. Or you will create way more swelling than you can handle.

[MuscleScience]

I woke up like this 2 weeks ago, both arms were numb. Over did my traps as it seems. Lucky for me I had one my staff Chiros at work, adjust me and then had the PT put KT tape on it. Was going to get a script for a Medrol pack but after all that and some icing I was able to manage. GL today

Chrio adjustments can be a life saver. Had one myself this past Friday and going back for another this Friday. Ice can be a miracle worker too, totally agree.

Go easy RC and don't over exert yourself.

Yes sir!

I agree, I must have over done it and inflamed something.

[RaginCajun]

Also forgot to mention earlier that I hit the 200lb mark this morning! Numbers going the wrong way. It could be just some water but I need the numbers to go the other way. Thinking about adding in an appetite suppressant to keep me from over eating. I need to be eating around 1900-2000, but probably been eating closer to 3000!

[OdinsOtherSon]

Fat@$$!!! J/k brother!!

How are you holding up RC?

[RaginCajun]

How are you holding up RC?

It hurts or very uncomfortable for sure. I took some ibuprofen, so hoping that helps. Will try to ice it some later on when I have some down time

[RaginCajun]

Neck is still bothersome, no change yet. May try some cardio later on, fat ass needs to get a sweat in! As mentioned, will start appetite suppressant today (hydroxycut) and may fast depending on how I feel.

[OdinsOtherSon]

Hang in there bro. Did the ibuprofen help at all?

actually, i enjoy fasting. i still will get my allotment of calories for the day, it will just help me from over eating for now. intermittent fasting helped me loose weight before, and i think i may give it a go again. as mentioned in this thread when IF'n, i like eating the bigger meals and to feel full. i basically use the lean gains protocol, fast for 16 hours and eat for 8 hours. i can easily get in 2,000 cals in 3-4 meals, rather than eating 6-8 meals and over eating. i will play with it for a little while and see how it goes.

i'm not sure i will ever be 'fixed', sucks cuz just 6 years ago i did a triathlon!!!

some relief but it is still there

tried some aleve today, hoping that will kick in soon

[RaginCajun]

Well, damn neck thing is still there, feels about the same. Will be loading up on ibuprofen again. Traveling back today so may try to stop by the gym and hit the hot tub.

Sup bud!!!!

How are ya?

Yeah man, still after some type of abs! Steady grinding!

[RaginCajun]

went in and did a fasted really light workout, mainly upper body. one thing that i need to do more is some deep long stretching. as i keep mentioning, yoga sounds like an answer for now. i will start looking for classes at the gym and start soon! i know i need it with all the driving and traveling around.

i am back under the 200 mark, 198! haha!
