heading out in the great outdoors to go hog and rabbit huntin this weekend.

hoping to fill the freezer some!

**RaginCajun** · 02-10-2014, 06:33 AM

Did back today and really got a good pump. Still couldn't do some of the exercises I like but progress nonetheless.

**RaginCajun** · 02-11-2014, 08:35 PM

30 min of cardio done after a long day at work.

Only managed to get in 1000 cals so far so looking like a big dinner!

started hitting some weights again, so enjoying that. just trying to be careful and not injure myself. still battling tendinitis in my elbow but it seems to be healing some. still needing to go do some blood work to see where i stand.

That elbow tendinitis sucks. I had one for about a year. Was better. Then the other for a year. Just stuck to dumbbell and cable curls all that time and not too heavy.

yeah i am having the same issues!

my left one was bad back in 2009 and now it is the right one. just can't seem to get it to heal up. i think i tore the tendon off of my elbow in both cases doing hang cleans and press. it is one of my fav exercises and it has caused this elbow problem both times. and both times i was on cycle, go figure!!!

Muscles always get stronger faster than tendons especially on cycle. Good luck with that. Over time it should heal, just a long fvcking time...

Tendinitis anywhere sux IMO. Taking a year off helps :/

I'll never take time off cuz my head is very very very hard!!! And no way I could deal with all this energy that I have just sitting around, I'd go bananas!!!

**RaginCajun** · 02-13-2014, 06:37 AM

Did a circuit type workout this morning and felt sluggish the whole time. Don't know why either. I slept well and felt like I had enough carbs yesterday. I even had 1/2 cup oats this AM. Just frustrating when I was ready to kill it! It is hard for me to breathe today with this asthma so I am guessing that is what is making me feel sluggish.

**RaginCajun** · 02-16-2014, 05:53 PM

Wrecked on my mtn bike yesterday, still managed 45 minutes of cardio.

I purchased some straps with a hook and did some lifting with them today, def helped. Crushed back and shoulders!

Looks like I will have to stick to machines and make do with them.

I hate running with a passion. Kills my shin splints in no time. Elliptical is where it's at for me!

I hate to love running! Never had shin splints before but I have plenty of other stuff going on.

Actually felt good to run yesterday.

My body is a wreck and I put it thru hell!

I do plan to use the elliptical more and up my cardio base to a longer duration

**RaginCajun** · 02-19-2014, 06:28 AM

30 minutes on elliptical and then foam rolled for a while.

Legs are really sore all over from my run the other day.

**RaginCajun** · 02-27-2014, 07:41 PM

Haven't trained in a while, guess you can say I gave my body a lil break. I'm heading back home for Mardi Gras so gonna run this body thru the gauntlet! After that, my goal is to eat like jim2300027!

Have fun! That's an impressive goal!

**RaginCajun** · 03-04-2014, 06:10 AM

40 minutes of cardio on my bike trainer.

Time to get back after it! Took about a week off, ready to get back to lifting.

Happy Mardi Gras!

**RaginCajun** · 03-05-2014, 06:43 AM

Did chest, shoulders, and tris today.

May have tweaked my elbow some so I will have to gauge it.

For Lent, no pizza, ice cream (this is going to be the tough one), cake, candy, etc......

And no meat today, fuukkkkk

**RaginCajun** · 03-06-2014, 08:00 PM

Chest is sore as hell!

20 min of cardio on bike trainer

Diet today has been Jim-like

**RaginCajun** · 03-09-2014, 04:23 PM

7 min warmup, stretched, and killed legs!

Gonna be tough to squat down tomorrow!

Also rowed 10 min

**cca** · 03-09-2014, 11:09 PM

I'm not convinced that cardio works very well. I get better results for fat loss when I cut out bread and potatoes.

**RaginCajun** · 03-10-2014, 05:34 AM

30 min of cardio done, did intervals on elliptical.

Diet will be sharp, prepped all meals!

When I really crank up the cardio, fat melts off.

Diet is key though!!!

The guy said that I am one of the most jacked up people he has ever worked on!

It was really painful. It was basically a really deep tissue massage. A little too expensive for what he did but seems to me I need a really really deep tissue massage!

Find a good massage therapist! You may need more then one treatment.

About to go in for a massage now, we will see how it goes

**RaginCajun** · 03-16-2014, 06:40 PM

Had a great massage and it is was pure torture!

Seems my calves and hammies are weak so will be trying to strengthen them. Elbow feels somewhat better also. I have two more appt scheduled so fingers still crossed!

**RaginCajun** · 03-19-2014, 09:54 AM

Feelin somewhat better. I believe I still have a long road to getting all the way better but myofascial release is where it is at!

Once I feel comfy again, I will be focusing on hamstrings, calves, rotator cuffs, front shoulders, and back. Seems I am weak in these areas and my body has been compensating for it, thus making my other muscles have to work harder, leaving me with tight/over worked muscles.

Looks like I need to find a chick that is a massage therapist and marry that thing!
