Doing behind the back pull downs is really bad for the rotator cuff, also most people bend the neck forward due to lack of shoulder flexibility putting a lot of strain on the neck. Just a heads up don't want you to hurt yourself!

i normally do not do them but yesterday just felt like i needed the pull/stretch. i did chest on monday so it felt great to get that stretch but i understand what you are saying. i was doing light weight, maybe 100lbs.

45 minutes of fasted cardio, time to feed the beast!

**RaginCajun** · 02-21-2016, 02:40 PM

One hour of bike riding

Time to food prep

**RaginCajun** · 02-22-2016, 06:32 AM

45 minutes of cardio which included some stairs

My left hammy is really tight so going to back down and stretch and foam roll this evening

**RaginCajun** · 02-22-2016, 02:20 PM

hammy is loosening up some but still will need to do some stretching and lacrosse ball rolling later on.

been looking at my diet and i am just not getting enough greens. new goal of mine is to get some type of green veggie in 3 of my meals for the day, or just two if I decide to intermittent fast for the day. weight is still about the same, between 188-191 lbs. feeling stronger and have really focusing on form in my workouts. as mentioned earlier/few days ago, you will see more HIT style workouts.

Good spot buddy. Sometimes eating the same thing day in, and day out, were too close to the problem to see it.

How you enjoying the HIT?

i am entertaining a cycle again but want/need to get those damn bloods drawn. have a lot of stuff going on at the moment still so trying to find the time!

**RaginCajun** · 02-23-2016, 06:22 AM

Still a ways to go, about 5-6% body fat. Looking to get to about 13-15%, maintain that, then prime for a cycle! I am more focused as of late but still dealing with a lot of stress. Just making sure I don't hurt/injure myself, my left hammy is super tight! Diet is getting better, goal of the week, at no less than 3 green veggies with meals (lunch, snack, supper).

45 minutes of walking

Left knee does not feel 'stable' so to speak. May have to take a day off of my legs.

**RaginCajun** · 02-26-2016, 08:11 PM

Bad week!

Will hit this chitty hotel gym in AM

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

**SlimmerMe** · 02-26-2016, 10:14 PM

^^ show 'em how to do it.

**RaginCajun** · 02-27-2016, 04:59 PM

Finally got a workout in. Did a full body workout, legs are feeling a wee bit better. It's tough for me to breathe out here, the air has no humidity!

**RaginCajun** · 02-28-2016, 11:44 AM

Did another lil workout today, mainly chest and back and did it fasted

**RaginCajun** · 02-28-2016, 02:07 PM

Didn't meet my goal of eating greens but had a wrench thrown into the mix. I have one more day here, or so I think, then it's back at it! Been fasting the past two days and may get back to doing that a little more.

**RaginCajun** · 03-01-2016, 06:25 AM

40 minutes of fasted cardio, mainly walking with some jump rope thrown into the mix every 5 minutes

**SlimmerMe** · 03-02-2016, 12:12 AM

Still on the road??

No ma'am, made it back late Monday night

Heading out for some fasted cardio now!

**RaginCajun** · 03-02-2016, 06:21 AM

45 minutes of fasted cardio (walking, little jogging, one sprint). Legs and knees felt tight this morning, need to get back to doing my stretches and lower back/glute workouts

**RaginCajun** · 03-03-2016, 06:26 PM

Did a quick leg workout (squats/extensions/leg curls)

Stress level is really high, trying to be as positive as I can at the moment!

**bethdoth** · 03-04-2016, 07:43 AM

Hang in there Ragin! Remember to take a trip at least once a day. Find a quiet spot, close your eyes and imagine you are in your dear stand in the woods then start at the bottom working up relaxing each muscle and breath!

Had a nice lil workout

Did a hard 15 minute warmup on recumbent bike, then did a lot of incline chest (highest dumbbell is 30lbs so went for volume), 2 minutes of jumping rope, and a set of squat thrusters

(On the road again this week and looks to be for a while, sigh)
