**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

[almostgone]

Kel, AG, hear ya. Would like to push it a bit though with a couple of lifts like close grip bench & incline that my RC still allows me to do, but worries me with. Basically, paying for a spotter, feel weird imposing on others in the gym that are locked into their own workouts.

I can understand that. I usually.use.my Smythe machine for that. I set the safeties so I won't crush myself if I crap out and just go until I can go no further and then either rest pause or quickly drop some weight and lather,rinse, and repeat.
It would be nice to have the occasional assist at the failing point and get the elusive "one more rep" thing going.
Hmm, you teach, correct? Surely you have a student or two in need of some "extra credit".

[Proximal]

Yeah, but the students can be iffy. Sometimes they want to kill you ��

It would on occasion. Haven't experienced that in years and years....and years.

[Marsoc]

I figure if I try to get that last rep up and I can't and almost die trying then that's just the same I'd imagine as if I had a spotter . For triggering the growth mechanism...

RC keeps me from going to as much failure as I'd like for certain movements, have to shut them down a rep too soon for safety.

[Mr.BB]

I can always find somebody to spot me on heavier presses or squats in my gym

See I'm friendly

What's RC

[hammerheart]

What's RC

Rotator cuff I suppose.


Morning.

Ah, I see the flip side of the coin now.

[almostgone]

Instead of grabbing that elusive/dangerous rep, can you slow.down the speed of the positive and negative portion to get some extra muscle stimulation or rest for 15-20 deep breaths and then grab a static hold or negative only rep, Prox?

[almostgone]

Oops! Good morning, all! . Feeling yesterday's back session a decent amount. Lats are fried. Kind of expected glutes and lower back to be a bit more sore, but that may kick in as the day progresses.
Not looking forward to working today.

Morning

[DocToxin8]

Good morning people!
Been awhile since I dropped by except for some minutes here and there.

Looks like the wife is finally ready for the big D.
She called me bout it last night while I was "visiting" a very nice lady.
Stayed the night and feel a ton of stress has gone, although I know the road ahead isn't gonna be easy.
I don't like to deceive anyone, but I just can't tell her about any other women or what can be a civilized process will turn into hell.
To bad, for I really wish the best for my wife, wish she could start dating and fuck around. It's a catch 22.

Anyway, had my first shoulder workout in a long time yesterday.
While press excersizes still need some caution, it's miracolous how much better I am. And everything else than press excersizes goes ok, so I can get a decent pump. No more heart issues either.
But I know I have to keep stress down, that's the real killer.
Aside from that I dropped the anadrol and started with some liquid arimidex to keep BP down. Not that it's been high, but I noticed some water retention and felt much better lowering the E2 a bit. Only use 0,1ml adex, which should translate to 0,1mg, and did that for only two times at EOD dosing before I noticed a big difference. I'm inclined to think the adex has to overdosed.
(Think I'm gonna stay with 0,1ml two times a week, but I'm open for suggestions)

However, I've always been very sensitive to adex. Never needed much.
Only reason I've stayed away from it is because I was afraid to drive E2 down to much while my shoulder hurt, cause when E2 crashes on me all joints flare up.

Looking forward to some gym time today. Have to get home first though.
And I wasn't really planning on telling you all this, I feel like an asshole,
but the way I see it there's no right way here.
Either I do what's so called right, and never get any relief, or I act selfishly.

Hope you're all well and good and have a truly nice weekend.

[Mr.BB]

[Bodacious]

Morning guys and gals!!

Everything on the body is sore as hell today. Shoulders are crushed! Back has DOMS pretty good its self. Today is a rest day today. Might go play some golf maybe and then again I might just lay on the couch and watch tv and eat.

The wife and I went to see Kevin Hearts What Now movies. It was pretty good if you like stand up.

Hope everyone has a good Sunday!!!

[Kenny357]

Morning. I've got 3 more hours of driving to the new job. Then Ive got to get set up with a room, get a new gym membership, and get some groceries. If I can get all that done in a fair amount of time, I'll hit legs this aft. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

[Bio-Active]

Morning hitters looks like i am taking today off from the gym. Traveling for my daughters soccer and my body needs the rest anyway. I got my caffeine so I am going now!

Sounds like a busy sunday.

Everything is closed on sundays around here. If the rain stops going for a 5k later.

[NACH3]

Hit a 5k run yesterday and think I'm going for another today and lifting will start tomorrow

I'm really planning on getting my size back then priming for 6+ wks and we'll see where that puts me in time but I'll have plenty of time to achieve what I'm setting out to do...

Have a kickass day all enjoy your Sunday!

Thx Bio! I agree I feel an even newer sense of inspiration and motivation within this thread - it's ever evolving and I'm looking forward to yours and what everyone will achieve when we put our goals down in writing!

I'm so ready to lose some weight!! Ugh it's time

[kelkel]

Sorry to hear. No doubt it's never easy no matter the situation.

[Proximal]

What's RC

As Bizzarro mentioned - Rotator Cuff.

[clarky.]

Hi fellas, did legs earlier went ok, hurt ma self though. Most in here know i have a partial patellar tendon tear in my left knee. Think i hurt it again, i don't really go heavy on legs and i never really give them there own day as i am really scared about doing it right in. I just do a bit here and there to keep them looking ok any way doing leg ex i got a massive pain behind the kneecap so i stopped.

Leg press incline 4 sets of 9 reps 225kg

Leg ex only first set 25kg on each side got 3 reps then the pain stopped.

Hams 4 sets good burn holding the squeeze

Seated calfs 4 sets good burn

Did some traps that was good.

Got some pain in the knee so fvcking mad with ma self, sore ehen walking.

[Proximal]

Oh absolutely! I'm just jealous of you all and the guys @ the gym and want to push things a bit with lifts that I still can do without any pain. Want to see some more increases in poundage, that's all.

Still feeling pumped from yesterday's workout, hell-yeah!

Morning everyone!

Which movement generally hurts more Clarky, leg-press/squatting or leg-extensions?

[NACH3]

Hope ya feel better Clarky and it moves on fast... It's great to see you tearing the arse outta the weights buddy...

I'll be gladly joining each of you tomorrow... Can't wait to shift some weight(get my MMC back on point)!!

Good workout big guys.

Rest up and get better man.

[KINGKONG]

Shoulders just now didn't have much time so did what I could started with 10 min stretching shoulders in every way
Shoulder presses db's
Warmup 20 reps
Heavy 6 reps
6 reps double drop set
Side lateral raises
Warmup
Heavy 7 reps
8 reps double drop set
Supersetted side lateral raises with front raises
And that's a rap 23 min plus stretching and my shoulders feel like blowing up
Have a great sun all I gotta work all night only one day off this week$

[Cuz]

Damn seeing all these huge intense sessions is intimidating haha you guys are killin it.

Afternoon all, had a good day yesterday. Good pump, looking decent for circumstances. Shoulder feels better too. Dread work tommorow

[clarky.]

Extensions prox, i was told not to do them but i though because it was light it would be ok but no.

Shit. Treat it gentle and stay away from climbing/ladders for a bit if you can, Clarky. Any swelling on just dull pain?

Prox, I think I speak for all of us when I say we are fortunate to have you lifting with us. Would've been glad to have you without your PT knowledge, etc., but the time and input you provide is greatly appreciated, man!

[almostgone]

I'm not enjoying pumpkin spice flavored whey as much as I thought I would. Think I will stick to coconut next time.
It's drinkable but not as good as I hoped for.

Nice! Glad to see you in here.

[DocToxin8]

Sorry to hear. No doubt it's never easy no matter the situation.

Thx, I just hope the process will be civilized and that she'll move on quick.

Anyways, just home from the gym,
Legs program today.
Somewhat different than usual as I skipped squats.

Bulgarian lunges with dumbells
Walking lunges with Dumbbells
Seated Hip adductions
Seated leg curls
Leg press
Ab crunches in incline

All in all a good workout with very little impact on joints, but it gave a nice pump and kept the heart rate up.
Now I'll do a second leg workout in some days with squats and front squats, mixed with something, not sure what yet.
